Republican former Michigan Congressman Fred Upton, one of ten House GOP members who voted to impeach the Orange God Emperor following the January 6th, 2021 MAGA insurrection, announced his endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in a statement to the Detroit News on Thursday.

“Watching Trump day after day, he’s ignored the advice of many senior, respected Republicans to stay on the issues. Instead, he’s still talking about the election being stolen, trashing women left and right. He’s just totally unhinged. We don’t need this chaos. We need to move forward, and that’s why I’m where I am,” said Upton, who was once censured for voting to censure Marjorie Taylor Greene.

A new report from the BBC on simultaneous police raids in Ireland and Spain against an Irish criminal syndicate called the Hutch organization mentions in passing that a lengthy war between the crew and their rivals in the drug business, the Kinahan Cartel, has left 18 dead since it began in 2015.

Seems kind of low, right? Like not even by the standards of a halfway decent crime action movie where 18 getting killed in two hours better be made up in other qualities like the script and production value, but by the standards of Mexican cartel wars where 18 dead is either a busy half hour or an extremely slow weeknight. Yeah, of course right here this is the natural upshot to Irish/European gun control laws and an obvious argument in favor of the US moving closer to them.

That aside, we’re still puzzled as to why the gangsters don’t at least fatally stab, bludgeon, or strangle each other more often. Are they just (relatively) more polite and civil to each other?

A new Franklin and Marshall College survey of Pennsylvania voters finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 48 to 44 percent among registered voters in the Keystone State while among likely voters Trump leads 49.6 percent to 49.3 percent. Polling egghead Adam Carlson writes that the pollster appears to have fucked up the likely voter screen by having respondents self-report it so we’ll stick with the registered voter number in the lede.

Emerson College meanwhile finds Trump leading Harris 50 to 48 percent in North Carolina and 49 to 48 percent in Wisconsin. That’s probably good because Emerson’s always a few points pro-MAGA.

Lastly Marist College/NPR/PBS News found Georgia tied at 49 percent each, while Trump is up 50 to 49 in Arizona and 50 to 48 in North Carolina among likely voters in all three states. The registered voter numbers are again better for Harris in each of the states, putting her up 49 to 48 percent in Georgia, tied at 49 in Arizona, and down 49 to 48 percent against Trump in North Carolina.

Extra lastly, a new set of Bloomberg/Morning Consult swing state surveys finds Harris leading Trump 50 to 47 in Michigan, 49 to 48 percent in Nevada, and 50 to 48 in Pennsylvania while Arizona and Wisconsin are tied it 49 and 48 percent, respectively and Trump leads 50 to 48 percent in Georgia and 50 to 49 percent in North Carolina. 0mG TeH rACe cULdnT B cL0sErR!!!!!!1111!!!!

Deception in democracy: Beware the most common types of election-related scams https://t.co/KZT9ObJkff

— Fox News (@FoxNews) October 24, 2024

Drug-addicted billionaire Elon Musk’s America PAC operation on Wednesday abruptly stopped handing out $1 million checks daily to signers of its stupid petition, ABC News reports on the intended outcome of the Justice Department warning Musk to stop with this bullshit.

Republican Waukesha, Wisconsin Mayor Shawn Reilly tells Fox 6 he’s voting for Vice President Kamala Harris, a key symbolic flip in the Cheesehead State’s largest Republican-majority city.

“Comrade Kamala Harris sees that she is losing, and losing badly, especially after stealing the Race from Crooked Joe Biden, so now she is increasingly raising her rhetoric, going so far as to call me Adolf Hitler, and anything else that comes to her warped mind. She is a Threat to Democracy, and not fit to be President of the United States,” posted convicted felon former President Trump.

He’s confused here. Harris never called him Hitler. That was his running mate, JD Vance.

We’ll try our best to find a better one than this because… Yeah, it’s not great.

You totally already guessed from the headline. Might as well start with the denial, from Karoline “Blondi” Leavitt, who says “These accusations, made by a former activist for Barack Obama and announced on a Harris campaign call two weeks before the election, are unequivocally false. It’s obvious this fake story was contrived by the Harris campaign,” like this is somehow unfair.

Former model Stacy Williams tells the Guardian that Donald groped her at the Trump Tower in 1993 in what she believed was a “twisted game” between him and notorious dead sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. “It became very clear then that he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together,” Williams said, Trump put his “all over my breasts” and butt et cetera.

The problem with this story is that Williams and the Guardian didn’t wait for Trump to claim he never met her. They included the postcard that he signed to her. They should’ve kept that powder dry.

“Thank you for your support against a total degenerate named John Kelly, who made up a story out of pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred! This guy had two qualities, which don’t work well together. He was tough and dumb. The problem is his toughness morphed into weakness, because he became JELLO with time! The story about the Soldiers was A LIE, as are numerous other stories he told. Even though I shouldn’t be wasting my time with him, I always feel it’s necessary to hit back in pursuit of THE TRUTH. John Kelly is a LOWLIFE, and a bad General, whose advice in the White House I no longer sought, and told him to MOVE ON! His wife once told me, at Camp David, John admires you tremendously, and when he leaves the Military, he will only speak well of you. I said, Thank you!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Wednesday.

Note that John Kelly had already been fired nearly two years before the time the other extremely ugly incident as described in the Atlantic’s Tuesday reporting had occurred.

“A train of Tundra Buggies in Canada’s Wapusk National Park is the perfect place to see a polar bear up close,” says this particular livestream’s description. They ain’t kidding. It’s a polar-bear-a-rama.

Justice Department: “The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado announces that Teak Ty Brockbank, 45, of Cortez, pleaded guilty today to one count of transmitting interstate threats. According to the plea agreement, Brockbank made a series of online threats toward elections officials in Colorado and Arizona, a Colorado state judge, and federal law enforcement agents between September 2021 and August 2022. On September 21, 2021, for example, Brockbank posted on a social media account: ‘I live in Communist Colorado and this Crazed liberal [referring to Election Official-1] and many others in Communist Colorado needs to- No has to Hang she has to Hang by the neck till she is Dead Dead Dead. There will be accountability for these peoples actions in Communist Colorado and it won’t be judges and it won’t be weakmided cops that bring it!!! ‘It will be Me it will be You it Will be every day people that understand that there life does not matter anymore with the future our country has laid out before it.'”

“Brockbank also admitted that, during that time, he used that account, as well as another to post messages threatening election officials. Brockbank admitted to other threats as well. On August 4, 2022, for example, Brockbank posted a message referring to separate election officials in Arizona and Colorado and then stated: ‘Once those people start getting put to death then the rest will melt like snowflakes and turn on each other… This is the only way. So those of us that have the stomach for what has to be done should prepare our minds for what we all [a]re going to do!!!!!! It is time.'”

The 2024 election now truly feels like it is here as a swing state Republican has been caught trying to fill out a ballot for their dead parent. WPXI reports that Richard Lack, who is currently registered to vote in New Jersey but previously was on the rolls in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, has been charged with violations of provisions relating to mail-in ballots, forgery, and unsworn falsification, all misdemeanors, for requesting a ballot in the name of his dead mother, who lived in the county. Lack used his own phone number and email and forged his mother’s signature on the request.

A DOJ official this week sent dipshit Elon Musk a letter warning him he’s risking up to five years in prison by handing out $1 million a day to swing staters who sign his petition to protect the First and Second Amendments because it requires them to be a registered voter, 24sight reports.

THE LIE: Trump wanted generals like Hitler.

THE TRUTH: This claim has been debunked and both the accuser and reporter have been discredited.

Here are the facts:

-This report has been denied by Trump’s claim and people close to Trump’s administration have denied it as well.… pic.twitter.com/ihkyvIybnx

We’ll admit it’s a stretch to call “Kamala HQ Lies” a newsworthy Twitter account, but watching them grind themselves down to the bone is still pretty funny. The other guys, the ones that do it for free, are having a rough day too, such as D-lister “The Patriot Voice,” who posted this lengthy gem: “At the VERY LEAST @KamalaHarris NEEDS to be SUED by @realDonaldTrump and his Campaign for Defamation per se, and at WORST Kamala should be ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY by @SecretService for openly inciting VIOLENCE against Trump, and his supporters with grotesque, and disgusting FALSE rhetoric on a National platform. That is EXACTLY what the point of this stunt was… To incite violence against Trump, in hopes for a third successful as*as*ination attempt prior to Election Day which would then justify DEADLY FORCE from the Military when his supporters rise up. THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT. This goes FAR BEYOND simple election rhetoric, KAMALA JUST CROSSED A MASSIVE LINE AND MUST BE CALLED OUT. SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS DOING.”

He kept going and going but that was enough comically overblown histrionics from the freelancers.

A new set of Quinnipiac University swing state surveys finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 49 to 46 percent in Michigan while Wisconsin is tied at 48 percent each. The last time Quinnipiac polled the two states Trump was leading in both.

A permit application obtained by the Washington Post reveals Vice President Kamala Harris will next Tuesday deliver a “closing argument” speech from the National Mall in DC, an obviously historically significant venue that will be packed to the gills and be a subject or ire for her fat opponent.

Republican Kentucky state Senator Johnnie Turner died Tuesday, just over a month after he suffered grave injuries by driving his ride-on lawnmower into an empty swimming pool, WKYT reports.

Fellow Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell, himself facing down death’s cold grip, eulogized Turner in a statement saying “In recent years, I remember crossing paths with Johnnie (Turner) to survey the damage left by the devastating floods that hit Eastern Kentucky. Johnnie was on the scene, ankle-deep in mud, his equipment from home in tow, ready to help folks in Letcher County.”

It’s not clear if Turner was intoxicated while driving the ride-on mower at night.

All the Quislings who went on MSM cable news this morning had a rough time defending their Orange Hitler for admiring the original Hitler. First up is Tennessee Senator Bill Hagerty who told CNN’s John Berman he did not agree that former White House Chief of staff John Kelly heard convicted felon former President Trump express admiration for the German dictator but then told Berman that Kelly had never lied to him about anything whatsoever, but it’s “inconsistent” with what his own experiences with the Orange God Emperor… who Hagerty spent a lot less time around than Kelly.
