Now that is a shit ton of empty seats. Haven’t seen it this clearly demonstrated. Who can blame Trump fans for not feeling incentivized to show a shit ton of empty seats?

Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah on Tuesday named Naim Qassem to replace replacement leader Hashem Safieddine after leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike but then Safieddine was killed in an Israeli airstrike so now they’re going with Qassem because he hasn’t been killed in an Israeli airstrike yet, Reuters reports on the target of a likely incoming Israeli airstrike.

A new Emerson College survey of likely voters in Michigan finds convicted felon former President Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris 48 to 47 percent. Since this is Emerson, and especially because the sponsor is right wing circlejerk site RealClearPolitics, this is actually a good poll for non-MAGA. In their final October 2022 poll of the state they found Governor Gretchen Whitmer leading QAnon freak Tudor Dixon 49 to 44 percent, Whitmer ended up winning by nearly 11 percent.

Separately a Detroit News/WDIV survey of the state finds Harris leading 47 to 44 percent.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has yet to hear from convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign on when, where, and how they want her to hit the trail to support him as she said she would do, the AP reports, adding that Trump’s people did not respond to a request for comment on it.

A climate of fear is permeating convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign team from within as developments justifying that fear are percolating from without. Semafor reports that Donald’s minions aren’t so sure their internal polling data showing the fat fuck with a modest lead in enough states to get to 270 electoral votes is really painting a clear picture of a solid position.

“There’s not enough wood to knock on,” a lamprey told Semafor. “There just isn’t. After what happened in 2020, and the ‘red wave’ that didn’t materialize in 2022, there are more skeptics than there are optimists.” Staffers are poring over the data, trying to figure out what if any blind spots may exist, all the more sweaty about it as their boss and all his sycophants in the media project nothing but confidence of a guaranteed win because that’s what they always do.

Outside of the campaign the news from Pennsylvania is bad, if only anecdotal for now: Politico reports the Keystone State’s large Puerto Rican community is very quickly turning against El Naranjo Puto for the Hinchcliffe shitshow. “It’s spreading like wildfire through the community,” said Allentown Dem precinct captain Norberto Dominguez. “It’s not the smartest thing to do, to insult people – a large group of voters here in a swing state – and then go to their home asking for votes.”

“This was just like a gift from the gods,” said Allentown radio station owner Victor Martinez. “If we weren’t engaged before, we’re all paying attention now,” Martinez continued, adding that a caller on a talk show who had been a vocal Trump supporter was now telling listeners not to vote for Donald.

You can stay on CNN if you falsely call every Republican a Nazi and have taken money from Qatar-funded media. Apparently you can't go on CNN if you make a joke. I'm glad America gets to see what CNN stands for.

MAGA C-lister Ryan James Gidursky found himself perma-banned from CNN on Monday night after a heated exchange with liberal commentator Mehdi Hasan in which Gidursky said “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” meaning he hopes the Israelis don’t maim or kill him with an exploding pager the way they did to Hezbollah terrorists en masse last month, which was pretty racist-y.

“Wow! York County, Pennsylvania, received THOUSANDS of potentially FRAUDULENT Voter Registration Forms and Mail-In Ballot Applications from a third party group. This is on top of Lancaster County being caught with 2600 Fake Ballots and Forms, all written by the same person.”

“Really bad ‘stuff.’ WHAT IS GOING ON IN PENNSYLVANIA??? Law Enforcement must do their job, immediately!!! WOW!!!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Monday night.

If this is actually real, in all likelihood the fat bastard is referring to a scam apparently pulled by QAnon sex freak superfan Scott Presler, who may or may not be under criminal investigation in (at least) Lancaster County for having submitted a shit ton of fraudulent registrations.

Folks living near several homes in Dayton, Ohio that were raided by the Department of Homeland Security tactical teams in July tell WHIO the houses have been noticeably quieter since then, with fewer people coming and going and the windows usually dark when there had been activity before.

“So since the raid, I think it was a SWAT raid that occurred. Things have gone quiet over there,” said Mary, who lives and works near on of the homes on Irving Avenue. But lately however there has been an increase in work done at the house. “We’re noticing a lot of construction, we’ve noticed carpet sort of being hauled out.” Another neighbor of a different house visited by DHS agents agreed. “We noticed perhaps in the last month or so that they started doing some work on the property that involved cleaning up some of the landscape and repairing things,” Miami Township resident Greg Jump said. “So something, you know, obviously, has been going on.”

DHS officials would not give any specifics about the raids that occurred three months ago, with one special agent saying only “Our investigation is focused on allegations of financial crime, money laundering, labor exploitation, and potential human smuggling violations.” But whatever, it was just an army of feds ripping apart a bunch of houses that seem to be getting rented out to new tenants.

Convicted felon former President Trump has lately been “privately cranky and stressed, according to three people in contact with him, with a schedule marked by chronic lateness,” the New York Times reports from inside the Reich-in-waiting while Vice President Kamala Harris’s team are growing more optimistic by the day as the top of the hourglass empties inexorably, the veep energized by her raucous rally crowds and running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz telling people he would rather be him than couchfucker JD Vance as far as their respective positions in the race go.

Important to this is the early voting numbers that Trump fanboys are touting as a harbinger of a return of their Orange Fuhrer to power, numbers the Harris Campaign says are simply would-be Election Day voters turning out early for the fat fuck. Even better is the Times writing that “some close to Mr Trump worry that the push to label him a budding dictator who has praised Hitler could move small but potentially meaningful numbers of persuadable voters,” as if the “label” wren’t true.

Sources inside convicted felon former President Trump campaign team are still telling CNN conflicting stories about how Sunday’s shitshow happened with one saying all speeches were supposed to be reviews ahead of time and was uncertain as to who failed to spot Tony Hinchcliffe’s “jokes.” A different minion said the speeches were vetted but tried the “ad-libbed” excuse.

“By Monday, there were still disputes within the campaign over who approved Hinchcliffe’s set, which was replete with racial tropes. One adviser suggested no one had reviewed Hinchcliffe’s remarks in full. Another said the campaign was not given a draft that included some of the comedian’s more indecent jokes but did flag one,” CNN writes and you know the rest.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will be in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Monday night with opening act by Maggie Rogers. Never heard of her, but she’s pretty damn good.

Boone’s Mill, Virginia Trump merch shop proprietor and mayoral candidate Donald “Whitey” Taylor tells Virginia Business that the sexual assault accusations by three female employees that led to his arrest last week are “fake news” and “election interference” meant to derail his bid for office.

“I did not do anything they accuse me of, OK? Not guilty,” wrote the 74 year-old Taylor in a text to the news site. Taylor faces three charges of misdemeanor simple assault and one charge of misdemeanor indecent exposure for a number of incidents at the store, including one in which a female employee alleged grabbed her arm “and shoved his hand in my pants and restrained me,” adding that the Trump superfan has “continually verbally abused me and other co-workers for months and years.” Another female staffer wrote in a complaint that, on or around September 26, Taylor called her to the back of the store, where he exposed himself and asked her to perform a sex act. The woman also noted that on October 13, Taylor grabbed her ass. “He has repeatedly sexually, mentally, emotionally and physically, verbally harassed me,” the woman wrote.

As much as it is on brand for a hawker of cheap, shitty Trump merchandise named Donald to reflexively call serious allegations of sexual assault election interference, what it really shows is that Taylor’s simply just not a star. Because when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.

“More than 20,000 New Yorkers of every race, color, religion, and creed attended the rally at MSG this weekend. This is America, and people should be free to support and vote for whoever they want for any office without being personally demeaned or attacked. To that end, let me be crystal clear: I categorically condemn the racist comments made by one unfunny comedian and over-the-top, inappropriate rhetoric by others long before President Trump took the stage. Likewise, I condemn those suggesting that everyone there was a Nazi. What a ridiculous and insulting thing to say, especially to the thousands of Jews in attendance – who, by the way, were far safer and more welcomed at MSG than they would be at Columbia University. My record as a bipartisan leader in Congress who works with people in both parties to get things done is beyond dispute, and it’s a record I am confident voters will reward me for on November 5th,” said “moderate” New York Congressman Mike Lawler in a statement on Monday in response to the “garbage” jokes.

Fellow wiener Marco Rubio took his bitch-assery further, tweeting “Puerto Rico isn’t garbage, it’s home to fellow American citizens who have made tremendous contributions to our country. I understand why some people were offended by a comedians jokes last night. But those weren’t Trump’s words. They were jokes by an insult comic who offends virtually everyone, all the time… because that is what insult comedians do. What isn’t a joke is how Kamala Harris destroyed our economy and allowed dangerous criminals to illegally enter our country and terrorize, rape and murder Americans. And what isn’t a joke and truly outrageous is how ‘journalists’ are helping Kamala Harris’s with her dangerous campaign of hate by calling Trump the new Hitler and how MSNBC used old footage of Nazi rallies TO SMEAR TRUMP SUPPORTERS AS NAZIS!”

A southwest Miami-Dade Florida man’s vehicle is in unknown condition Monday after an attempt to flee from his wife, with whom he is separated from, fired a round from a semi-automatic pistol at his feet while interrogating him angrily about suspected copulation with another woman, WPLG reports.

Cops say Mirza Morera, 54, arrived at her husband’s trailer residence on the edge of a farm near the 20000 block of 168th Street, calling him to open a gate near the home just before 10 am Sunday, accusing him of infidelity even though they’ve been living apart. Deciding that he wasn’t opening the gate fast enough, Morera fired a round into the ground, prompting the man to jump in his vehicle and attempt to drive off. The husband’s escape route was promptly blocked by a wooden utility pole.

A neighbor heard the gunshot and called police, who responded and found Morera still at the scene. She faces one count each of aggravated assault with a firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm or weapon and unlawful discharge of a firearm while inside a public place or residential property.

“Tim Walz had a secret fling with the daughter of a high-ranking Communist official during his 1989 teaching stint in China, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal. Jenna Wang, 59, claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation at No 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province. The lovers could not risk holding hands or showing affection in public because Wang’s dad was a high-ranking figure in the Chinese Communist Party who would disown her for fraternizing with a westerner. But their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they sipped tea, made love and listened to George Michael hits – leading the then 24-year-old Wang to dream about marriage and a new life in the United States,” the Daily Mail reports in what is now the third “oppo dump” by the shitty British tabloid this month following their ineffective attempts at “exposing” domestic abuse by Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff against an ex-girlfriend.

“No proposal was forthcoming from the future Minnesota governor, however, and the shame of being treated ‘like a prostitute’ eventually left Wang feeling angry and suicidal, she claims,” which is obviously sad for her but holy shit a 25 year-old man didn’t wan’t to get married? Stop the presses.

Also, was it that Walz was a dick to a woman his age at the time who had higher expectations or that she was the daughter of a local ChiCom shot-caller? How can she have any communist mind control powers over him if she’s upset that he ghosted on her? Who the hell scripts this stupid bullshit?

These white people look a little less drunk than you’d expect but we guess something funny will happen sooner or later here in, uh, Chaweng Koh Samui, wherever that is.

Ypsilanti, Michigan area MAGAchurch youth pastor Zachary Joseph Radcliff, 29, a musician who performed on stage during at least on CPAC conventions, is accused of sexually abusing at least 10 young girls he met on SnapChat and cops are searching for more victims, MichiganLive reports.

Source on convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign tell the Bulwark that “comedian” Tony Hinchcliffe’s set at Sunday’s Madison Square Garden rally originally “had a joke calling [Kamala] Harris a ‘cunt,'” that they asked him to edit out before he went on stage, which he did.

“Let’s say it was a red flag,” the campaign insider said, meaning that calling Puerto Rico a floating pile of garbage, saying “Jews have a hard time throwing out paper!” while making a money grubbing hand gesture, carving watermelons with P Diddy (because he’s Black), and the “cum inside” line were not red flags at all and the Trump team said go right ahead with those “zingers.”

Of course the dickheads at Mediaite credulously led their reporting with the opposite Monday morning, printing a quote from the RNC saying “The entire speech was not vetted,” but only notionally mentioning that was probably bullshit by acknowledging that Hinchcliffe was reading off a teleprompter. The Bulwark’s Marc Caputo’s sources claimed instead that that the lines were ad-libbed so really who the hell knows since we’ll never see the teleprompter’s text file.

Sources inside Trump’s campaign were split on how to handle the fallout. As expected, Team Fuck Your Feelings were staying true to their brand, with one saying “People need to grow up. This is what we’re campaigning against: PC culture run amok,” while the other side were pissing their pants, saying “this isn’t the hill we need to die on, Puerto Rico as a trash island – for fuck’s sake!”
