A handful of attendees at this week’s Republican National Convention mass cult gathering in Milwaukee told Rolling Stone they were worried that the “momentum” behind their Orange Allah could end up breeding the kind of complacency that in part doomed Hillary Clinton in 2016.

“Are we gonna blow this? Anything’s possible,” said a GOP donor with a “barely concealed sigh” on Wednesday. Former Congressman and 2022 New York gubernatorial race loser Lee Zeldin warned
MAGAmerican voters they “have to fight for it – the mechanics of campaigning, the tactics of campaigning, taking nothing for granted – all in, every ounce of our energy, every moment of our day!” Loser ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy said “you should never feel like something’s ‘in the bag,'” and he should know from experience of calling himself “Speaker-elect” after the 2022 midterms.

Asked if it was unwise to feel like it’s in the bag, RNC delegate and longtime Trump campaign shitbag David Bossie said he thinks “the fake-news media is going to create a narrative now that Donald Trump is guaranteed to win, to try to suppress and drive down our vote,” as if it only the mainstream media saying this kind of shit and not people like Lara Trump, who this week said “We are going to go to bed early on November 5, as Donald J Trump will be announced as our 47th president. Early. I’m calling it at 10 o’clock at night. How does that sound to everybody?”

Evil Deep State pro-Democrat Party tech firm CrowdStrike on Friday caused a massive outage of services across a wide array of industries, with airlines, banks, and telecom firms crippled leading to numerous canceled flights and all sorts of other clusterfucks, CNBC reports.

It’s CrowdStrike! Remember them? They covered up Hillary’s corruption during the 2016 election by using that bleachbit to erase her illegal servers and frame the Russians for hacking her emails or something. Now they’re finishing the job against the American people with another attack and…

Ugh. It’s too early for MAGA-QAnon satire shit. And yet it’s what at least some of the fanboys are actually saying in response to the real news that a faulty update pushed by CrowdStrike to Microsoft 365 caused this global havoc, with the London Stock Exchange reporting problems with its data platform, the Dutch arm of Air France-KLM grounding most flights, and Visa saying they’re “aware of reports of people being unable to make payments and are working with our financial institution clients to understand any impact on their services to cardholders and merchants.”

CyberArk CIO Omer Grossman tells CNBC the damage is “dramatic” and worse, will need to be fixed on users’ ends one by one. “It turns out that because the endpoints have crashed – the Blue Screen of Death – they cannot be updated remotely and this the problem must be solved manually, endpoint by endpoint. This is expected to be a process that will take days,” said Grossman.

Vice President Kamala Harris allies have begun working Dem donors to get them to start writing big checks right away should she end up soon being the presidential nominee, Politico reports.

Thursday is the fourth and final night of this miserable shitshow that was convicted felon former President Trump’s recoronation ceremony, capped with a special appearance by racist pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan before the fat orange fuck himself takes the stage for his address.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been telling close allies that she thinks President Joe Biden is indeed on the verge of dropping his reelection bid, the Washington Post reports.

Judged solely the color of his or her skin, a lobster was saved from being savagely boiled alive and consumed with butter sauce at a Pueblo, Colorado Red Lobster location, a reprieve denied to the soon-to-be red lobsters it was crawling amongst in a delivery last week, the AP reports.

“Myself and many of my team are born and raised Denver Broncos fans, so as soon as we saw that orange color, we knew that Crush would be an excellent representation,” said Kendra Kastendieck, the Red Lobster locations’s general manager, who named the lobster Orange Crush after the 1976 to 1986 Broncos defense. “And we all want our defensive line to be that good again.”

Crush’s new home in the Denver Aquarium has a Broncos helmet for it to crawl in and around for however long it lives in captivity. The other, non-orange lobsters it was caught with are dead.

“The Great Lou Dobbs has just passed away – A friend, and truly incredible Journalist, Reporter, and Talent. He understood the World, and what was ‘happening,’ better than others. Lou was unique in so many ways, and loved our Country. Our warmest condolences to his wonderful wife, Debi, and family. He will be greatly missed!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Thursday.

NASA on Thursday announced they were throwing in the towel on the Viper rover mission set to explore the Moon’s south pole and check for traces of water, citing cost overruns and testing capacity that threatened the viability of other missions, the Associated Press reports.

They only pissed away $450 million to learn a valuable lesson about something. Probably.

Top Trump campaign advisor Chris LaCivita on Thursday told Politico’s Jonathan Martin that the ongoing push by top Democrats for President Joe Biden to step aside is “nothing more than an attempted coup by the Democratic Party,” apparently failing to appreciate how his words might be taken by people outside of his fucking death cult considering their leader and his minions attempted a coup to prevent Biden from taking power following Trump’s humiliating defeat in November 2020.

But that actually kind of sticks out less if you read The Atlantic’s Tim Alberta’s piece last week profiling LaCivita and other Trump campaign shitbag Susan Wiles, as Alberta detected more than a little apprehension from the two over the possibility that Biden would step aside. “As we talked after the debate, it was apparent that they might have miscalculated. Elected Democrats were calling for Biden’s removal from the ticket. When I asked who Trump’s opponent was going to be come November, his two deputies sounded flummoxed,” Alberta wrote, adding “privately, they are all but praying that he remains their opponent. I was struck by the irony. The two people who had done so much to eliminate the havoc and guesswork that defined Trump’s previous two campaigns for the presidency could now do little but hope that their opponent got his act together,” emphasis his.

“Grindr executives are calling the RNC convention, ‘The Grindr Superbowl.’ Folks, look. I’m openly gay. No qualms about it. Proud conservative Republican. I met my husband on Grindr and we’ve been together for 6 years going on 7, married for almost 3. Let me tell you something, just come out the closet, boys! Come on, it’s fun to be gay and conservative! But look, Grindr is already outing you based on the hits, and who’s in town? It’s all you conservatives,” said fabulous and indicted former Congressman George Santos to followers in a livestream this week, per Meidas Touch.

Problem is that Santos cited “the Halfway Post,” a satirical Twitter account that puts out headlines, meaning no Grindr exec actually said it was their “Superbowl” (slightly surprising that Meidas Touch’s Ron Filipkowski didn’t pick up on that). All the posts about “Down Detector” reports are iffy too because those are all user-generated and any troll can submit one. That said there does in fact appear to be at least one reliable video showing a quite a few active users in and near the RNC’s venue, like dozens of them, all listed as “O feet away” and thus probably on the same Wifi node.

Wildlife officials in Alaska are at a loss as to why the bald eagles around the harbor town of Kodiak on the eponymous island are so fucking pissed and have violently attacked at least three people over in a specific area of the docks in the past week, Alaska Public Media reports.

Kodiak Island Borough Assembly member and manager at a nearby seafood plant James Turner said each of the victims required stitches after the patriotic symbols of American Freedom unleashed violent flurries of talons and beaks upon their heads. “Be careful over in Dog Bay, walking on L and M floats. There have been multiple eagle attacks,” Turner warned. “US Fish and Wildlife is looking into this. But multiple people have been attacked and multiple people have needed stitches.”

The US Fish and Wildlife Service are indeed looking into it and so far have concluded they have no idea what the hell is going on. “I’ve dealt with eagles in lots of places and normally they just aren’t that defensive,” said US FWS biologist Steve Lewis. “Like I’ve done things, like I’ve climbed nest trees. And most of the nest trees, in fact all of them, the (eagles) don’t dive-bomb you as you’re climbing, like when you get to the nest. They are definitely aggravated. You can see them flying around and they are calling, but they aren’t diving at you or anything aggressive.”

Lewis does have one intriguing theory however: That the eagles are starting to become just as big of assholes as bears typically do get when they get too used to humans feeding them. “I think they are probably getting fed by people around the harbor. And I think that in a similar way that it kind of changes how bears are, if they start getting food from people, they become more aggressive towards people. I think that might be similar to what’s going on with these birds.”

The season four finale of the hit Amazon Prime series The Boys has been retitled to “Season Four Finale,” after its producers apparently decided the previous title, “Assassination Run” is in poor taste given the events of last weekend in Pennsylvania, NBC News reports. The episode, depicting parallel assassination attempts on both the fictional president and vice president elects of the United States amid a fascist takeover plot led by murderous sociopathic supervillain-disguised-as-patriotic-hero Homelander, also now opens with a disclaimer reading “This episode contains scenes of fictional political violence… Any similarities to recent events are completely coincidental and unintentional.”

Maybe we’d buy that if the red-haired Marjorie Taylor Greene-alike “Firecracker” didn’t rant about “Jewish space lasers” this season and the “QAnon Shaman” didn’t have a “cameo” in the last one.

Super-insidery Beltway news outlet Axios reports in a huge “SCOOP” that they “increasingly hear top Biden aides, including ones who initially urged him to fight on after his disastrous debate on June 27 – 21 days ago – are saying it’s now when, not if, Biden announces he’s not running.”

The scoopy, insidery nature of the news is emphasized by “Behind the Curtain” in the headline.

This comes four days after they printed an article about how Democrats were processing the aftermath of the failed assassination attempt of convicted felon former President Trump that ended with “Most lawmakers who spoke to Axios said it is too early to say whether the cessation in tensions will last until the Democratic National Convention next month. But the second senior House Democrat offered one reason for why it might: ‘We’ve all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency,'” in all the hype-y, masturbatory glee we’ve come to know and hate from Axios. The report was on how the effort to get Biden to abdicate had fizzled out after the shooting.

Anyway, maybe Joe Biden will step aside. Maybe not. What is certain however is how abysmally the most insufferable elements of the mainstream political media – looking at you, Axios – have handled this campaign year, mouths agape at the “remarkable comeback story” of a disgraced tyrant who would have them imprisoned or executed for pointing out that he used a fucking sharpie to alter the map of a hurricane, operating as if that’s less of a problem than a thick-foreheaded old Irish American whose worst quality is that he’s too stubborn to admit he’s past his prime.

Namibian officials on Thursday informed Mutebi II, King of Buganda, a subregion of Uganda, to get the fuck out of their country immediately, they don’t care if he’s in the country for medical treatment and that he’s a monarch whose supplicants don’t believe he should be subject to Namibia’s strict 90-day visa limit, just go home now, fuck off, we’ve had enough of this shit with your dumbass fanboys harassing us with accusations that we’re somehow holding you hostage, the BBC reports.

It didn’t help that Bugandan citizens have been protesting the fake “hostage crisis” outside of Namibian diplomatic facilities in South Africa and the UK over the last few months – even after the king had posted a video announcement telling subjects he was still undergoing treatment but looking forward to returning home. “Having checked the records, I wish to inform you that the request for an extension is declined,” a government official told NBC (that’s the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation), possibly with a half-smirk indicating he wasn’t sad to see Mutebi go.

Actual Ugandan government officials weren’t all that upset, like they understood that the Mutebi II stans are a pain in the ass. “I request all the Ugandans to stop embarrassing Uganda by opportunistically trying to show how much they are for the Kabaka [king],” Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni said earlier this month after a particularly embarrassing incident involving Bugandan chiefs. Following the GTFO order from Namibia, Ugandan Foreign Minister Henry Oryem Okello said he totally understood, telling the local paper Uganda Monitor that “Namibia has decided that they are not interested in this kind of bad publicity, and we should respect [their] position.”

Jesus Dork Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday relied on his gut feelings to assert that foreign terrorists have set up cells all over the country, ready to strike at a moment’s notice.
