A new finding printed Wednesday from the most recent USA Today/Suffolk survey – one they hyped in advance so we’re guessing this is supposed to hold significance in the current environment – but they chose to put it in the negative, writing “Nearly 72 percent of respondents said that they had not seen Harris on a podcast and 77.5 percent said that they had not seen a Trump podcast appearance,” a small edge for Harris probably reflective of the MAGA-ish shows Trump goes on.

A new Emerson College survey of likely voters in Texas finds gremlin-faced coward Senator Ted Cruz leading Dem Congressman Colin Allred 48 to 47 percent while convicted felon former President Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris 53 to 46 percent. Independent voters break for Allred 47 to 42 percent while Trump leads Harris among the same group by 49 to 47 percent.

This is probably Emerson’s final poll of the Lone Star State in 2024 and by now there’s no question of whether Allred is running a close race. We’ve well established by now Emerson’s pro-GOP bias and it’s time to actually take seriously the possibility that Allred could pull this off. On Tuesday we’d been a little puzzled as to why Harris is heading to Houston for a rally on Friday, we’ve since learned that Allred will be taking the stage with her, which tells us that Harris probably has some internal polling showing Cruz to be even more vulnerable than maybe even this public polling suggests. The fact that Trump is running that far ahead of him with indie voters and overall is another clue.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Wednesday told reporters that US intel has confirmed that North Korean troops are on the ground in Russia, but it’s not clear yet if they’re headed toward the front with Ukraine as had been expected by observers over the last few weeks, Reuters reports.

“There is evidence that there are DPRK troops in Russia. What exactly they are doing? Left to be seen. These are things that we need to sort out,” Austin said to a press pool while in Rome.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has cited intel indicating possibly up to 12,000 North Korean troops were being prepped to be to deployed to battlefields in his country.

Jesus Dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson will open for convicted felon former President Trump at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, Punchbowl News reports.

Six alleged victims of Sound of Freedom asshole Tim Ballard’s rapey coercion scheme have filed a lawsuit alleging his ruses to get them to pretend to be his wives/girlfriends during his undercover sex trafficking stings were themselves violations of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act because Ballard was laundering money to support it, Fox 13 Utah reports.

“Ballard and [Operation Underground Railroad] engaged in human trafficking and exploitation of women under the guise of humanitarian anti-trafficking operations,” attorneys for the women exploited by Ballard wrote in a statement to media. “Instead of rescuing women and children from trafficking, these defendants used their positions of trust to exploit and abuse and traffic women.”

Ballard, the anti-sex-trafficking activist and real-life inspiration for 2023 QAnon fan-favorite film Sound of Freedom, starring adrenochrome freak Jim Caviezel, is already accused in at least one other lawsuit of coercing Mormon housewives into sex acts when they volunteered to pose as his wife when going “undercover” on trips to third-world countries to meet with slavers and “liberate” victims. The scandal has led to the downfall of Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, who was listed as a producer for the film and wrote himself a scene for the unlikely-to-be-made sequel.

Two weeks until Election Day:  Donald Trump is being forced to work, and he hates it.  Not only is Trump on the trail trying to drive up turn out and doing bro-centric podcasts, but he’s gotten so tired and unfocused he can’t properly grope former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard during his appearance in North Carolina on Tuesday.

Trump is reportedly considering the Florida federal judge who threw out his federal documents case–a decision that will likely get overturned on appeal–to be his next Attorney General if he gets reelected, ABC News reports.  Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by Trump, has made a number of questionable decisions in his case, and she had only sat over a handful of trials while on the federal bench before getting the Trump case.

If he walks like a fascist and talks like a fascist…  One of Donald Trump’s four chiefs of staff during his single term in office, John Kelly danced around directly calling Trump a fascist when a reporter for the New York Times asked him, but he said Trump “certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure.”

“Well, looking at the definition of fascism: It’s a far-right authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy,” Kelly said citing a definition he found online.  “So certainly, in my experience, those are the kinds of things that he thinks would work better in terms of running America,” adding, “Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he’s certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators — he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure.”

After spending nearly $45,000 per month despite telling the court that he was “nearly homeless,” spitting coach and former attorney Rudy Giuliani is now officially homeless after a federal judge ruled he must turn over his New York apartment, his Mercedes-Benz, his watch collection and his sports memorabilia collection to two Fulton County election workers he defamed, the Associated Press reports.

The property, which will be sold, will barely scratch the surface of the $148 million Giuliani owes Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, for defaming them and saying they were passing drugs while rigging the results of the 2020 election.  Giuliani’s false statements causes the pair to have to quit jobs and relocate after facing the irrational wrath of MAGA.

While Rudy will lose his New York apartment, Judge Lewis Liman also ordered him to turn over his Palm Beach apartment as well, but that may be delayed as Giuliani claims the $3 million should be exempt because it’s his primary property.  Giuliani will lose his treasured New York Yankees World Series ring collection, as well sports memorabilia including a signed Joe DiMaggio jersey.  The former New York mayor, Trump lawyer, and hair dye dispenser will also lose his watch collection, which includes 25 pieces including a Rolex, two Bulovas and five Shinolas.

Rapper Eminem will introduce former President Barack Obama at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in Slim Shady’s native Detroit on Tuesday. Not sure whether the veep is there too.

At least one person is dead and 10 others have been hospitalized from E Coli infections linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders, NBC News reports and OH YEAH BY THE WAY THERE’S STILL NO PROOF KAMALA HARRIS EVER WORKED AT A MCDONALD’S LIBS! NO PROOF AT ALL!

The CDC said in total 49 cases in 10 states – mostly Colorado and Nebraska – have been LIBS DID YOU SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE OUTSIDE THE MCDONALD’S IN PENNSYLVANIA WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP SERVED DELICIOUS BURGERS AND FRIES TO SURPRISED CUSTOMERS?!?

The specific ingredient in the burger had not been identified but CDC investigators were IT WAS SUCH A STROKE OF GENIUS FROM TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN! HE REALLY CONNECTED WITH EVERYDAY AMERICANS, MANY OF WHOM WORK IN REGULAR JOBS LIKE AT MCDONALD’S!!!

President Joe Biden just came out and said it on Tuesday, “We gotta lock him up,” and “him” being specifically convicted felon former President Donald Trump, the comment coming during a visit to New Hampshire to promote his administration’s healthcare wins, per Reuters’ Jeff Mason.

I was in the discussions featured in the Atlantic’s latest hit piece against President Trump. Let me say this.

Any suggestion that President Trump disparaged Ms. Guillen or refused to pay for her funeral expenses is absolutely false.

He was nothing but kind, gracious, and…

— Mark Meadows (@MarkMeadows) October 22, 2024

If Mark Meadows is denying it then… There’s also actual confirmation in the piece from Meadows’s predecessor, John Kelly, who confirmed to reporter that the headline about the fat fuck wanting American military leaders to be more like Hitler’s, as Kelly told writer Jeffrey Goldberg what happened when Trump first said “German generals”: “Do you mean Bismarck’s generals? I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’ I explained to him that Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler,” Kelly said, then telling Goldberg that Trump had no idea who Rommel was.

During the George Floyd riots in 2020, Trump also told his staff that “The Chinese generals would know what to do,” specifically referring the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

The US Capitol will be off limits to all spear-carrying, fur-horned-hat-wearing, US flag-face painted weirdos and other unauthorized personnel between January 5th and January 21st, 2025 as the city will be erecting a large, non-scaleable barrier around the place, NBC’s Gary Grumbach reports.

In the middle of a long sequel to the infamous September 2020 “Suckers and Losers” report, the Atlantic details a pretty fucking sick and cruel incident of how convicted felon former President Trump reacted when handed the bill for murdered US soldier Vanessa Guillen‘s funeral after telling her family he would personally pay for it. We’re just going to copy this verbatim to not mince words:

It goes on to recount a complicated back and forth of denials about the incident. Guillen’s family lawyer told the Atlantic the bill was never paid. The Trump campaign said “President Donald Trump never said that. This is an outrageous lie from The Atlantic two weeks before the election,” in a comment. Sounds like they’re going to have to go into serious damage control mode.

The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday unanimously rejected the MAGAfied state elections board’s attempt to grant itself new powers like requiring hand counts and “investigations.”

“Six individuals have been indicted for illegal voting in past elections, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced today. ‘The right to vote is sacred. If you’re not a US citizen, it’s illegal to vote, whether you thought you were allowed to or not, you will be held accountable. Irregularities like this are rare, and this is a small number of cases,’ Yost said. ‘We should all be confident in the upcoming election, knowing that the laws are being enforced and will continue to be enforced,'” says a statement from the Ohio AG’s office on a total vindication for MAGA conspiracy bullshit.

Not really though. It gets even fucking lamer: Between the six of them they illegally voted in multiple elections, but going all the way back to 2008, the latest in 2020. This butthole waited until two weeks before Election Day 2024 to prosecute six fucking non-citizens who didn’t even vote in 2022.

And this was six out of 138 flagged by the Secretary of State’s office. The amount of fucking time wasted going through all this bullshit just to nab six people, three of whom last voted in 2018.
