If that name looks familiar it’s because Jack Burkman is a convicted felon who, along with his possibly more notorious partner Jacob Wohl, have been fined millions of dollars in New York and Ohio – plus pleaded guilty to telecom fraud in the Buckeye State – and still face trial in Michigan for their 2020 robocall scam aimed at intimidating Black voters. Just the kind of talent Big Mark needs.

But WRAL politics reporter Will Doran writes not so fast on that as he hasn’t actually confirmed yet if Burkman is taking the wheel of Big Mark’s ship – while WUNC reports that more rats than had been announced Sunday evening have jumped off of, leaving Robinson with just three loyal rodents.

German Chancellor Olaf Schulz’s Social Democrats (SPD) squeaked out a freaking close win against the extremist Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party in Sunday’s Brandenburg state election, with SPD taking 30.9 percent of the vote to AfD’s 29.2 percent, the Berliner reports. Combined with the other two normie parties – the BSW and CDU – the SPD will work to form a coalition to shut out the AfD, but the close finish shows that the rise of the extremist white nationalist party, particularly in eastern Germany’s less wealthy, former communist regions, is probably still just beginning.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign team over the weekend cranked out a memo outlining their plan to tie “black NAZI” porn pervert Lt Governor Mark Robinson to his political benefactor, convicted felon former President Trump, and sink them together in the Tar Heel State, writing:

“North Carolina was already poised to be the Harris campaign’s top pickup opportunity after President Biden and Vice President Harris lost here by just over a point in 2020. The latest Robinson news creates even more opportunity in our campaign’s effort to reach suburban voters, moderate Republicans, and Black voters. In North Carolina, we were already working to drive up our numbers in the suburbs, including in the Charlotte and Raleigh metro areas, engaging Republicans who are turned off by Trump’s extremism. That includes Republicans who support reproductive freedom – and we will continue to highlight the shared Trump-Robinson agenda to ban abortion nationwide.”

“These latest revelations in CNN will only make our Trump-Robinson campaign more important.”

“In the North Carolina primary, Nikki Haley overperformed her statewide vote share (a significant 23.3 percent) in the vast majority of key suburban counties – like Cabarrus and Union Counties, where nearly one-quarter of GOP voters rejected Trump in the primary. We have used these primary election results to help drive our Republican outreach. This weekend, our hundreds of field staff and thousands of volunteers will be on the doors and phones highlighting the stakes of the presidential race and making it clear that North Carolinians across the political spectrum who don’t agree with the Trump-Robinson ticket have a home in our campaign. Trump was already in trouble with Black voters, as was Mark Robinson – who was drawing only support from three percent of likely Black voters. Newly reported hate-filled rhetoric, including Robinson saying that he supported reinstating slavery, will only further turn off these voters who are a core coalition that will decide this election.”

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign took in $27 million from donors at a single event in New York City’s financial district on Sunday, the Associated Press reports.

“Today, the Mark Robinson for Governor campaign announced the following senior staff changes: Conrad Pogorzelski, general consultant and senior advisor, Chris Rodriguez, campaign manager, Heather Whillier, finance director, and Jason Rizk, deputy campaign manager, have stepped down from their roles with the campaign,” says North Carolina Lt Governor Mark Robinson’s campaign in a statement on Sunday as the obese Nazi pervert’s gubernatorial bid implodes in real time.

Or maybe the statement was from just Mark Robinson himself since it doesn’t seem like he even has a campaign anymore. By the way the statement was posted on Twitter, not “Nude Africa.”

“If he loses there won’t be another election” – The top comment on The Gateway Pundit article “THE LAST DANCE: President Trump Rules Out Another Run for President if He ‘Loses’ This Year.”

In an interview aired Sunday, the fat bastard told right wing scumbag Sharyl Atkisson “No, I don’t. I think that that will be, that will be it. I don’t see that at all,” in response to a question about whether he would run again in 2028. The only reason we actually (sort of) believe him is simple entropy. At 78 he’s doing a third of the campaign rallies he did in 2016 when he was a relatively spry 70, with even his campaign staff telling Axios his age is part of the reason why. “He’s older, and more inclined to spend his time at Mar-a-Lago,” they write in lieu of a quote from anyone saying that directly.

Better keep expectations low for the Orange Slob to at last shed his mortal coil or finally be imprisoned by the time he’s 82 in 2028 (Kamala Harris still needs to win too). We’ll just arbitrarily put it at 30 percent likelihood that he’ll run again. That might even be too low. It really is up to him since both cosmic and earthly justice seem content to let it play out with voters. The GOP primary electorate sure as hell wouldn’t be going with anyone else unless Trump steps aside willingly.

Scores of former national security experts, federal officials and military officers endorsed Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris for President saying, “Vice President Harris defends America’s democratic ideals, while former President Donald Trump endangers them.”

The 741 former Cabinet officials, national security staffers, and retired military officers–including 15 four-star generals among 233 flag officers–noted Harris’s experience and dedication to the nation and the rule of law, while condemning Trump’s glorification of dictators and denigration of the United States.

“The contrast with Mr. Trump is clear: where Vice President Harris is prepared and strategic, he is impulsive and ill-informed. He has heaped praise on adversarial dictators like China’s Xi Jinping, North Korea’s Kim Jung Un, and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, as well as the terrorist leaders of Hezbollah. Conversely, he has publicly and privately excoriated the leaders of our most steadfast allies, including the United Kingdom, Israel, Australia, Canada, and Germany. He abandoned our Kurdish allies while ceding influence in the Middle East to Russia, Iran, and China.

“More than half of voters in a new survey say they support pop star Taylor Swift’s get-out-the-vote effort to push her fans to vote in this year’s election, but the number is down 15 points from February following a conspiracy theory surrounding the idea of a rigged Super Bowl. The newly released Monmouth University poll found 53 percent of voters approve of Swift’s push to get her fans to vote, with 35 percent saying they disapprove. Twelve percent said they didn’t know,” wrote The Hill on Friday in the lede to a story headlined “Support for Taylor Swift get-out-the-vote efforts falls after Super Bowl conspiracy theory,” categorized under the site’s “In The Know” section.

They way they wrote it you would actually know less than before if you did read it. They didn’t even fucking link the poll result – probably a conscious decision on their part. The questions on Swift came separately and a day after Monmouth’s main national poll which, was not really a binary head-to-head but asked “How likely are you to vote for…” in two separate questions on convicted felon former President Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris, to which Harris “led” 49 to 44 percent when “Definitely” and “Probably” from each were combined. We skipped it because, as some polling geeks we follow on Twitter and trust for analysis had pointed out, as far as we know there’s nothing stopping a respondent from saying they’ll “probably” or “definitely” vote for both Trump and Harris.

Aside from a passing mention buried in a lengthy “The Memo” rundown on Friday morning, The Hill skipped it too. But they still needed to find some kind of “win” elsewhere in Monmouth’s polling.

“It was great seeing my friends His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of Qatar and His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Prime Minister of Qatar at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. The Amir has proven to be a great and powerful leader of his country, advancing on all levels at record speed. He is someone also who strongly wants peace in the Middle East, and all over the world. We had a great relationship during my years in the White House, and it will be even stronger this time around!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Sunday and he definitely didn’t write that shit, lol. Some “strongman,” bowing to those goons.

Confirmed bachelor South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday to NBC’s Kristen Welker his neighboring state’s Lt Governor Mark Robinson has “the best lawsuit in the history of the country for libel” if he can prove that CNN doctored all the posts on “Nude Africa,” but wasn’t sure that’s actually going to happen. Lindsey was far more confident that Robinson doesn’t hurt Trump in North Carolina, and expressed even more confidence in the national outlook for Donald when he explained himself why he was trying to rig the electoral college through Nebraska’s 2nd District for him.

“To my friends in Nebraska, that one electoral vote could be the difference between Harris being president or not and she’s a disaster for Nebraska and the world,” is how certain Lindsey is that Trump’s going to win. It’s not clear how successful Lindsey’s going to be with that as last we heard that one of the Nebraska state senators whose vote is needed to pass the change is looking to run for mayor of Omaha and would be committing political suicide if he takes away their EC vote.

At the end of the interview Lindsey kind of lost it when Welker kept pushing him on Trump’s comments about Ukraine, claiming that “OUR poll” says Harris is weak on the world stage. The clips we have don’t have Lindsey reacting to NBC’s poll but that’s what we’re assuming he’s talking about.

Incumbent liberal Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe, the former prime minister who took over two years ago after chickenshit former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled the country with an angry mob on his heels, came in third with 17 percent of the vote in Sunday’s big election, losing to Marxist candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake who took 42 percent of the preliminary tallies to opposition leader Sajith Premadasa’s 32 percent, the AP reports on a Wickremeshitty day for Ranil.

Welker: "Why should voters trust" Kamala wouldn't ban fracking?

Fetterman: "It's so strange why we keep talking about fracking"

Welker: You called fracking a "stain on Pennsylvania." What do you now like about fracking?"

It’s almost like they didn’t even watch what Senator John Fetterman said before they decided to tweet it out. He was mocking them for their insane bullshit, not agreeing with them.

FBI agents on Friday raided the home of the NYPD’s new interim Commissioner Tom Donlon, just a week after he took the job from fellow federal criminal investigation subject, Edward Caban, ABC 7 reports. The probe is unlikely to be related to the shenanigans that brought down Caban.

“On Friday, September 20, federal authorities executed search warrants at my residences. They took materials that came into my possession approximately 20 years ago and are unrelated to my work with the New York City Police Department. This is not a department matter, and the department will not be commenting,” Donlon said in a statement. Seems like another classified documents fuckup.

Arkansas hick Senator Tom Cotton didn’t have a great time Sunday morning on CNN, trying to wiggle out of being confronted by Jake Tapper over convicted felon former President Trump preemptively blaming Jews for a loss. Later in the hit, Tapper was pointed to bring up that North Carolina Lt Gov Mark Robinson posted some antisemitic shit about Black Panther while Cotton was trying to wiggle out of defending Big Mark’s sickfuckery on the “Nude Africa” site.

A new NBC News national survey finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 47 to 41 percent among registered voters in a full field of all the third-party scrubs like Jill Stein and Cornel West, a flip from a Trump 45 to Biden 42 percent result in July.

Harris is 48 to 45 on positive to negative on favorability, while Trump is 13 points underwater at 40 percent positive to 53 percent negative. Even worse for the fat fuck is that Harris leads 47 to 39 percent on which candidate “represents change” and 52 to 36 on the “right temparament.”

A new CBS News/YouGov survey finds Harris leading 52 to 48 percent nationally among likely voters and 51 to 49 percent among LVs in the “battleground states.” The survey also found that 69 percent of Trump voters found that the fat fuck’s bullshit claims about Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs were “certainly/probably true” and 64 percent of them “approving” of the comments.

Broken down by state: Harris leads Trump 50 to 49 percent in Arizona, 50 to 48 in both Michigan and Wisconsin, 51 to 48 in Nevada, and 49 to 48 in North Carolina, while Pennsylvania is tied at 49 each and Trump leads 50 to 49 percent in Georgia. Harris also leads 51 to 47 percent in Nebraska’s 2nd District but the jury’s still out on whether that’s going to matter given the MAGA fuckery afoot.

Being upfront about the evidence of absence when reporting about convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign’s questionable investments in get out the vote operations, the AP writes that “it is difficult to demonstrate that something is not happening,” but that “with fewer than 50 days until the Nov 5 election, dozens of Republican officials, activists and operatives in Michigan, North Carolina and other battleground states say they have rarely or never witnessed the group’s canvassers.”

“I haven’t seen anybody,” said Oakland County, Michigan GOP field director Nate Wilkowski, about Leon Elon Musk’s “America PAC” operation. “Nobody’s given me a heads-up that they’re around in Oakland County areas.” Macomb County GOP chair Mark Forton said “I don’t know what the PACs are doing. I don’t know if they are going door to door.” The AP doesn’t directly quote anyone else concerned, but it’s just another piece of a growing body of evidence that outsourcing GOTV to Musk and Charlie Kirk might have been a costly – hopefully fatal – mistake for the Orange God Emperor.

Mike Pence replacement JD Vance on Saturday seemed a little meh on whether North Carolina Lt Gov Mark Robinson actually posted the sick shit he did on the “Nude Africa” site, telling NBC’s Philadelphia affiliate that “The allegations are pretty far out there, of course, but I know that allegations aren’t necessarily reality,” and that it’s “ultimately up to Mark Robinson and North Carolina whether he’s going to be their governor and whether he wants to stay in the race.”

“I don’t not believe him, I don’t believe him – I just think that you have to let these things sometimes play out in the court of public opinion,” JD said. “He’s going to make whatever arguments he wants to make. I’m sure the news media and others are going to investigate these comments further.”

Not going to lie, we admired Olivia Nuzzi, found her to be really freaking talented and especially loved her 2022 report on Mehmet Oz and her tales of convicted felon former President Trump’s 2020 campaign. But this shit about Robert F Kennedy Jr is just gross and its now even grosser with the Daily Beast reporting that her editors at New York Magazine had caught wind of it because Roadkill Guy was bragging about her sending him nudes. The 31 year-old Nuzzi had at first denied it to her bosses, but when pressed she caved and admitted to the “relationship.” A source tells the Beast that “the two had met multiple times, though they cautioned those meetings included public functions, and maintained that Nuzzi and Kennedy’s relationship was never physical.”

Uhuh. Not sure what’s more fucked up, an engaged reporter sending a married 70 year-old weirdo pics of herself naked without a concomitant physical relationship or that they’re all still lying about this as if the absence of said physical relationship somehow makes it better. And on that “engaged” part, that’s over as – hilariously – the way that was revealed was Nuzzi’s now ex-fiancee, 50 year-old Politico Playbook editor Ryan Lizza, slipped it in when announcing he was going to remain true to ethical principles of journalism. “Because of my connection to this story through my ex-fiancée, my editors and I have agreed that I won’t be involved in any coverage of Kennedy in Playbook or elsewhere at POLITICO,” Lizza wrote at the bottom of the newsletter’s Friday afternoon edition.

“Wow! Just announced that ABC television ratings plummeted after David Muir’s disastrous debate performance. As accurately stated in the New York Post, ‘ABC debate disaster already punishing ratings, because America is sick of Journalists lies'” posted convicted felon former President Trump late Saturday, of course not actually linking who “announced” the rating decline.

Snuck into the rants about immigrants and hyperbolic recitations of his single term in office during his lowly-attended North Carolina rally, Republican presidential candidate and convicted felon Donald Trump declined a second debate with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, claiming that it was “too late,” Yahoo News reports.

After Harris accepted CNN’s invitation for an October debate on Saturday, Trump said, “The problem with another debate is that it’s just too late.  Voting has already started,” he told the crowd. “She had her chance to do it with Fox.”  Fox offered to host a debate between the two, but Harris refused the invitation from a cable network that had to pay a $787.5 million defamation settlement for lies it knowingly broadcast in support Trump’s election conspiracy.
