Vice President Kamala Harris will hold a campaign rally in the hotly contested town of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a place that was friendlier territory for “Scranton Joe,” but looks packed for Kam.

The Veep is expected to speak at 6:30 ET but in the meantime keep this local Philly broadcast on for her interview with 6ABC, segments of which will air during the 6 o’clock hour evening news.

“Laura Loomer doesn’t work for the Campaign. She’s a private citizen and longtime supporter. I disagree with the statements she made but, like the many millions of people who support me, she is tired of watching the Radical Left Marxists and Fascists violently attack and smear me, even to the point of doing anything to stop their Political Opponent, ME! I am now in California, which Democrats like Comrade Kamala Harris and Governor Gavin Newscum have completely DESTROYED. I will turn it all around and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! -DJT” posted loser former President Trump Friday.

“Why is NASDAQ halting the sale of DJT? What right do they have to do this? They have done it twice today. What’s going on? Are they taking orders from the SEC, which, for political reasons, delayed us for an inordinate amount of time, therefore hurting the stock very badly? I am going to hold NASDAQ, and maybe the SEC, liable for doing what they are doing. If they do it again, we will move the stock to the New York Stock Exchange. It is my intention to own this stock for a long period of time. In my opinion, it is THE REAL VOICE OF AMERICA, but it is definitely MY VOICE, and it will be for a long time to come!” the fat bastard wrote in another post.

Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, despite being stranded on board the International Space Station until February, will be able to vote absentee in the 2024 election using a special secure PDF, thanks to a bill passed by the Texas state legislature allowing space voting in 1997, NBC News reports.

“I sent down my request for a ballot today,” Wilmore, said on a Friday call with reporters. “It’s a very important role that we play as citizen including those elections, and NASA makes it very easy for us to do that.” Williams agreed with the sentiment. “It’s a very important duty that we have as citizens and looking forward to being able to vote from space, which is pretty cool,” she said on the call.

It’s not clear if Picasso-faced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued NASA to invalidate the two astronauts’ votes yet. There’s probably some way that it’s unconstitutional or something.

“A VOTE FOR COMRADE KAMALA HARRIS IS A VOTE FOR WAR WITH RUSSIA! IT IS ALSO A VOTE FOR, ‘BRING BACK THE DRAFT.’ A VOTE FOR PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP IS A VOTE FOR PROSPERITY & PEACE!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Friday.

Just replace “RUSSIA” with “ISIS” or “Al-Qaeda” and that’s what it seems like, as though he’s trying to protect an enemy from an American military assault. Of course, nobody should actually want war with Russia, but it’s probably going to happen sooner or later unless Putin manages to reinstall Trump or some other pliable ally that will allow him to do whatever he wants to Europe.

In an email obtained by the Nashville Banner, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green’s wife Camilla told other members of Congress her dog of a husband has been sniffing a younger poodle and that Mark is “living life greatly deceived. I have offered reconciliation, and he wants nothing of it and has insisted on a divorce. Satan has rewritten our marriage in his mind.”

Congressman Green did not confirm any of the details other than the divorce in a statement to the Banner. “This is a difficult time for my family and me, and we are currently going through divorce proceedings. As this is a deeply private matter, I ask for privacy. I will continue to serve this district with all I’ve got, as I have the last five years,” said Green, who sure sounds guilty as charged.

Camilla wrote the young sidepiece is a 32 year-old woman who works for a DC-based news organization, which definitely narrows it down for those who would know. “I want to make others aware of how readily available ‘predators’ are for our husbands. If my story can prevent this tragedy from happening to someone else, I will tell it,” her email reads. Green, who of course sells himself as a conservative Christian, is portrayed predictably as having “pushed God out of his life” after spending time with other Congressional Republicans who are “having affairs and getting divorces, drinking, parties, all while hosting a weekly Bible study in the basement of our home.”

An unidentified 54 year-old woman in Austria was found guilty Thursday of fatally infecting her neighbor with COVID-19 in a stairwell in their apartment building in December 2021, knowing that the neighbor was suffering from cancer and that she was particularly vulnerable, Newsweek reports.

“I feel sorry for you personally – I think that something like this has probably happened hundreds of times,” the judge told the woman during her Thursday sentencing. “But you are unlucky that an expert has determined with almost absolute certainty that it was an infection that came from you.”

Local media reported that the defendant was convicted last summer for intentionally endangering people through communicable diseases in another COVID-related offense. It’s not clear what that was.

A military court in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on Friday sentenced to death three Americans who had been arrested following a failed coup attempt back in May, the AP reports.

The three, Benjamin Reuben Zalman-Polun, 36, Tyler Thompson Jr, 21, and Marcel Malanga, also 21, were among 37 sentenced to die for participating in the coup attempt launched by Marcel’s father, 41 year-old Salt Lake City Congolese-American car dealer (and Trump fan) Christian Malanga, a dumbass who attacked the wrong building on the morning of the coup attempt.

And got himself killed. Thompson, who seems to just be a high school buddy of Marcel’s, claimed to his own family he had just been flying to South Africa for a vacation with the Malangas. Marcel’s mother Brittney Sawyer, has said her son is innocent and was simply following his father, who considered himself president of a shadow government in exile. It’s not clear if the State Department is going to try to get these idiots out of the DRC or they’re just going to leave it be.

Linking John Solomon’s stupid story about dickbag Mark Penn demanding an investigation of ABC News over the debate their Orange God Emperor lost, Kansas Senator Roger Marshall on Friday tweeted he’s going to “be sending a letter to ABC News and the Harris Campaign demanding all correspondence, records, and potential coordination between the two parties ahead of Tuesday’s presidential debate,” but then Marshall deleted it for some reason. Probably that he got mocked.

Convicted felon former President Trump is holding a press conference in Southern California on Friday, though it’s unclear if he’s actually going to end up taking any questions from reporters.

“Based on information received from the Springfield Police Division (SPD), Perrin Woods and Snowhill Elementary students were evacuated from their buildings to an alternate district location. The District is in the process of a controlled release to dismiss students to their parents.”

“Additionally, Roosevelt Middle School was closed prior to the beginning of the school day in relation to the information received from the SPD. There are no additional threats made to any SCSD buildings,” says the Springfield, Ohio City School District in a statement and yeah it’s probably time for President Biden to tell Governor Mike DeWine to request the National Guard be deployed to the town before some gets killed over this fucking madness these animals are still spewing.

In a statement to the Daily Beast, a spokesperson for ABC News on Friday said Trump fanboys are full of shit when they claim the network gave Kamala Harris any of the questions in ahead of Tuesday rout, saying simply “Absolutely not. Harris was not given any questions before the debate.”

The query follows a bullshit story going around MAGA Twitter on Thursday claiming a whistleblower was about to come forward with an affidavit saying “the Harris campaign was given sample questions that were ‘essentially the same questions that were given during the debate,’ as well as assurances that Trump would be ‘fact-checked’ and she would not,” because this is how they cope.

Not that this is necessary, but let’s just do it anyway: How many different issues were the moderators seriously going to talk about? Taxes, the economy, inflation, immigration, abortion, national security, and the border. What kind of fucking idiot thinks the Vice President of the United States, who’s won probably six or seven elections, would not have anticipated that where were going to be like 10 to 15 max different possible topics? And even if she did somehow get a heads up, that’s not why she won. She won because she fucked with Trump’s head. It had nothing to do with the questions. The questions could’ve been about the Applebee’s menu and Harris still would have baited him into looking like the demented old scumbag he is, no matter how much the fanboys cry.

Haitians in Ohio are licking their chops.

Oklahoma MAGA Congressman Kevin Hern tells NOTUS the whole episode with convicted felon former President Trump claiming Haitian immigrants were preying on ducks, dogs, and cats in a debate watched by at least 67 million Americans “was kind of wild, wasn’t it?” He also however found it “interesting” that debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis “readily had something from the city manager” to fact-check Trump on the spot, as if network anchors who make seven figures a year aren’t supposed to be good at this or they had somehow laid a trap for the fat fuck.

Hern’s fellow Trump fanboys were a little more truther-y about the “evidence” supporting the claim that the innocent animals are being eaten and it’s all Kamala Harris’s fault. “Apparently there’s pictures of” Haitians eating cats, said Florida Congressman Greg Steube. “The fact that you’re saying it’s not happening, it’s not true,” Steube insisted, before being told that the video of the cat being eaten was of a homeless crackhead in Canton, Ohio last month. “Well, apparently there’s reports that there are. In Ohio. Haitians are doing that,” Steube told NOTUS with confidence.

“It’s just interesting that, like, you have news reporters that are taking one guy’s – some city manager or something – when there’s reports,” Steube continued, also apparently upset at Muir and Davis for mentioning the Springfield city manager debunking the bullshit story. Other Florida MAGA Congressman Brian Mast said the details aren’t important because bigger picture. “The point of it is that we have a major problem with illegal immigration,” Mast declared. But then he pressed on anyway. “It’s not a stereotype that people eat different animals. I mean, it’s just a fact of the matter,” Mast said. “You go to different markets in different parts of the world, and you’re going to find horse on the menu, you’re going to find dog on the menu, you’re going to find cat on the menu,” he added, mentioning that people in his home state eat “chicken of the trees,” referring to lizards.

Sources in and around convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign tell NBC they’re just going to give up on getting him to cut ties with racist MAGA psychopath Laura Loomer because they value their paychecks more than speaking out against an influence more malign than them that could doom his bid, forget about anything like simple moral virtue demanding that freak be exiled.

“The people that have the authority to stop it are hanging on to their jobs,” a former Trump 2020 campaign official said. “So are you going to pick that fight with him?” the source continued.

An anonymous, Trump-allied Republican senator said Trump is “often drawn to people who like and promote him. It’s really dumb.” This asshole needed anonymity to call him the “D” word, lol. Another GOP senator said “Everybody’s stunned that he would bring her down on his plane to the debate but even more stunned that she would be riding with him on the 9/11 anniversary. That kind of stuff will create a distraction you can’t overcome.” Asked if Trump aides are enabling Loomer for fear of losing their jobs, the senator said, “There’s a lot of that in almost every campaign, but definitely this campaign.” Note that the senator didn’t actually provide any similar examples from other campaigns.

Loomer herself responded to a reporter seeking comment with “Why do you want to speak to me? I don’t work for President Trump.” A Trump campaign aide, who also required anonymity, said the same, that Loomer is “not a member of our staff.” Not hard to imagine that the fear is that bringing the matter up to Trump would immediately result in Loomer being added to the payroll.

Opinion | Putin’s state media praises Harris' 'masterly' performance, declares her winner over Trump in debate https://t.co/95oFOeG2pt

— Fox News (@FoxNews) September 13, 2024

Of course what you wouldn’t know from this tweet is that the Russians weren’t actually happy about it, as the Daily Beast’s Julia Davis on Thursday wrote “State Duma deputy Oleg Morozov was deeply disappointed with Trump’s performance, describing him as an unplugged blow-up doll. Constant insults against VP Kamala Harris serve as another reminder that Trump remains their favorite.”

Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Thursday declared three days of national mourning for former dictator Alberto Fujimori, who died of cancer on Wednesday at the age of 86 after being released from prison last December, Reuters reports. Thousands suspected of links to a Maoist insurgency were killed by government forces during Fujimori’s reign from 1990 to 2000 and the fucker had done 18 years in the clink, so it’s not exactly clear why they held a state funeral and a mourning period.

“While much of the focus the past few days has rightly been on Vice President Harris’ total and complete shutdown of Trump, it shouldn’t be lost in the shuffle that Trump took at least five toxic positions on the debate stage. Trump may try to say something outrageous at his ‘press conference’ today to try to change the subject from his disastrous debate performance. But he should instead be pressed to explain these five toxic positions he took during the debate,” writes Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams in a memo that then lists off Trump refusing to say whether he’d veto a national abortion ban, still claiming he won in 2020, using “we” to refer to January 6th insurrectionists in that unintentionally correct acknowledgement, the “concept of a plan” for replacing Obamacare, and failing to say Ukraine should drive the Russians out of their territory.

“The debate was a mess for Trump, yes. But these answers are simply toxic. In almost any other circumstance, any one of these answers might drive days of a media crisis for the candidate. Taken together, they are an unmitigated disaster. The voters who will decide this election are repulsed by positions like these. Maybe this is a big part of why Trump is so loudly truthing ‘THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!'” Sams continued, urging reporters to needle him on these items. “Trump should have to answer for these positions. I know it’s unlikely his warm blanket Sean Hannity will ask, and that Trump doesn’t want to have to account for them on another debate stage, but he should have to say what the ‘concepts’ are that he is considering to repeal the ACA,” and so on and so forth.

Coming off a resounding victory in Tuesday night’s debate against convicted felon former President Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign still are taking nothing for granted and are acting like the election would still be Trump’s to lose if it were held next week, CNN reports. The sober recognition comes from the fact that there are simply so few potentially winnable voters in the swing states – 5 to 6 percent in each – and they’re going to need to work their asses off to turn them out.

“There’s a quiet confidence and security in what we’re doing and the mission, but no one thinks we have this in the bag,” said a Harris campaign source. “It’s going to be a grind until Election Day, and after.” With another debate unlikely to happen, the focus now is on generating big moments rather than sticking solely with the standard day-to-day of bus tours and rallies and interviews.

CNN writes that “some Democratic officials have been wishfully scrolling through Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour schedule – which features three shows each in Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis in the lead up to the election – and have begun reach out to try to get Swift to translate her endorsement into campaign concerts. The dream scenario in the minds of several of the people talking about this: either joint or parallel Swift appearances with Beyoncé,” and quotes from a Dem official trying to make such a show (or shows) happen, saying “become a cultural political icon – politics is too small to hold it. You’ve got to do something that transcends it. An unconventional campaign means you have to do unconventional things.” Helps that they have a shit ton of money, so start transcending.

Almost all of the first hour of today's show will be with guests @RichLowry and @AndrewCMcCarthy and almost all of it will focus on the ABC/Disney debate debacle and the tidal wave of criticism of David Muir, Linsey Davis, ABC and Disney brass for scripting the ambush. Tune in.

Package carrier DHL is suing pillow tycoon Mike Lindell for $799,925 in unpaid shipping bills accrued after years of delivering MyPillows and other shit manufactured by his failing sleep sundry concern to customers who ordered after using promo codes like KRAKEN, alleging that they’d already set up a payment plan that Lindell has failed to keep up with, the Associated Press reports.

Per the complaint, DHL and MyPillow had reached a settlement in May 2023 that required MyPillow to pay $775,000 in 24 monthly installments beginning in April of this year. But the lawsuit alleges that MyPillow has made only partial payments on the settlement, totaling $64,583.34, with the last one received on June 6. DHL says they notified MyPillow that it was in default on July 2.
