The parents of an Ohio boy killed last year when a Haitian migrant plowed his minivan into a school bus last year are beyond fed up with shit like Jaydee Vance claiming he was “murdered” and are pleading with Republicans to stop using his death for political gain, NBC News reports.

“Using Aiden as a political tool is, to say the least, reprehensible for any political purpose,” said Nathan Clark, referring to his deceased son Aiden, during the public comment session at a Springfield city meeting Tuesday, hours after Jaydee had posted that hateful shit on Twitter. “This needs to stop now. I will listen to them one more time to hear their apologies,” Clark added.

“My son Aiden Clark was not murdered. He was accidentally killed by an immigrant from Haiti. This tragedy is felt all over this community, the state and even the nation, but don’t spend this towards hate. In order to live like Aiden, you need to accept everyone,” continued, wife Danielle by his side as he named four “morally bankrupt” Republicans for referring to his son: Trump, Vance, Ohio Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno, and Texas Congressman Chip “Colonel Sanders” Roy.

Dem donation platform ActBlue processed its billionth dollar in transactions since July 21st early Wednesday morning, the New York Times reports. It’s not clear yet how much Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign raised before and after the debate but nine figures is not out of the question.

The CNN “instant poll” of debate watchers finds 63 percent of respondents think Vice President Kamala Harris won the debate to 37 percent believing convicted felon former President Trump won, a shift from the 50/50 expected, and a complete reversal from the 63 to 37 split from Biden v Trump.

A bad night for MAGAmerica just got worse as the 21st Century female Elvis dropped her official endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris, writing “Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country. Recently I was made aware that Al of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around Al, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that I need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth.”

Lol at the self-fulfilling prophecy. “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos,” and so on and so forth Swift continued before calling herself a “childless cat lady at the end.”

Hey, did you hear there’s a REALLY BIG presidential debate going down in less than an hour? It’s all over the news! We’re running what folks in the industry call a “live blog,” mixing in our real-time reactions with those from internet users famous and some not so famous. Strap in for a wild ride!

🥓 BREAKING NEWS 🥓 Hormel Foods made the next limited drop in their sizzling hot and ultra-exclusive “Black Label” marque of salty strips of pork flesh real: Cinnamon Toast Crunch “Cinnadust”-seasoned 12 oz pre-cooked weight packs will hit select Walmart stores nationwide starting Monday, with availability at Kroger locations over the following several weeks.

“The makers of HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Bacon are introducing the category’s first-ever co-branded bacon in partnership with CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH™ cereal, and the combination of sweet and salty never tasted better. The limited-edition product delivers a crisp, sugary crust with a delicious balance of cinnamon, sugar, salt and savory bacon taste. CINNADUST™ seasoning blend is hand-rubbed onto thick-cut bacon and held overnight for optimal flavor. Two brands with a passionate fanbase, this craveable collaboration is meant for snacking, pairing and enjoying during any hour of the day. As the boldest of all bacon brands and a leader in product and flavor innovation, the makers of HORMEL® BLACK LABEL® Bacon bring unrivaled expertise to the partnership with CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH™ – an iconic cereal from General Mills with a cult-like following. BLACK LABEL® CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH™ Bacon officially takes bacon to the next level.”

“‘Sweet and savory is such a classic combination, and blasting BLACK LABEL® bacon with our CINNADUST™ seasoning blend is a no-brainer to deliver the epic flavor our fans love in even more ways,’ said Brandon Tyrrell, senior marketing manager for CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH™,” said Hormel in a press release that goes on for considerable length. It appears the Cinnamon Toast Crunch flavor is thus far the only mashup with another brand in the “Black Label” line as the company’s website displays the variety along with some tantalizing but non-exclusive other options such as garlic rosemary, ranch, and jalapeño, along with more traditional “maplewood” and the like.

Right wing psychopath influencer Laura Loomer was spotted exiting “Trump Force One” in Philadelphia on Tuesday, NewsNation’s Libby Dean reports on an indication that the extremist Islamophobe is part of the convicted felon former President’s debate, um, locker room team.

This is a woman who got completely squashed in not one but two congressional bids in two separate Florida districts in 2020 and 2022, so let’s hope Trump is listening to her expert advice.

Suppose it was only a matter of time before the fat bastard, known to be essentially the opposite of an animal lover in real life, would jump in on this fucking madness with his usual zeal.

“During emergency events, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) works with its federal, state, local, and non-governmental partners to support the needs of the people in the areas that may be impacted. In such circumstances, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) remind the public that sites that provide emergency response and relief are considered protected areas. To the fullest extent possible, ICE and CBP do not conduct immigration enforcement activities at protected areas such as along evacuation routes, sites used for sheltering or the distribution of emergency supplies, food or water, or registration sites for disaster-related assistance or the reunification of families and loved ones.”

“At the request of FEMA or local and state authorities, ICE and CBP may help conduct search and rescue, air traffic de-confliction and public safety missions. ICE and CBP provide emergency assistance to individuals regardless of their immigration status. DHS officials do not and will not pose as individuals providing emergency-related information as part of any enforcement activities.”

“DHS is committed to ensuring that every individual who seeks shelter, aid, or other assistance as a result of a natural disaster or emergency event is able to do so regardless of their immigration status. DHS carries out its mission without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity, ethnicity, disability or political associations, and in compliance with law and policy,” says a Department of Homeland Security statement seemingly written for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry telling them FEMA isn’t going to arrest suspected migrants at hurricane shelters and relief sites this week.

Milking two races out of a single poll they sponsored to get two articles out of it, WRAL on Tuesday followed up on their finding via SurveyUSA that Vice President Kamala Harris is leading convicted felon former President Trump 49 to 46 percent among likely voters with the responses for the gubernatorial race and damn is it bloody: Dem Attorney General Josh Stein (not Shapiro) leads obese right wing psychopath porn addict Republican Lt Governor Mark Robinson 51 to 37 percent with 11 percent undecided at a “credibility interval” (not margin of error) of 4.9 percent.

There will be plenty of time to nerd out with the numbers and see if maybe somehow there was a reverse coattails effect in the state, but only if both Stein and more importantly Harris win there in November. No point in even entertaining it now when everything else hangs in the balance.

A new Public Religion Research Institute survey finds 32 percent of Trump fans and more than a 27 percent of Republican respondents overall say political violence is acceptable if they believe an election was “compromised,” USA Today reports on a finding that’s probably lowballing it if we’re being really honest here. There’s gotta be some “Bradley Effect” type thing going on here.

Just 10 percent of independents and 8 percent of Dem respondents said they agree that “patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.” PRRI President Robert Jones said the results are clear. “This is not just a partisan issue. It’s a Trump and MAGA issue. It’s the kind of Trumpian takeover of the Republican Party,” said Jones and maybe the both-sidesy media should kind of take a fucking hint from what an actual professional political scientist is saying here.

Jones linked support for political violence to support for authoritarianism. The study found that 67 percent of Republicans scored high on an authoritarian scale devised by PRRI, including 75 percent of Trump-favoring Republicans, compared to 35 percent of independents and 28 percent of Democrats. “Even those Americans who see themselves as a Republican but have an unfavorable view of Trump, they are far less likely to have this kind of authoritarian orientation that goes along with support for political violence,” said Jones. Meaning don’t feel shy about calling them Nazis.

The Missouri State Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s weasely move to take the abortion rights referendum off the November ballot, ruling en banc “by a majority vote of this Court, the circuit court’s judgment is reversed. Respondent John R Ashcroft shall certify to local election authorities that Amendment 3 be placed on the November 5, 2024, general election ballot and shall take all steps necessary to ensure that it is on said ballot.”

In related news, the opposite happened with Robert F Kennedy Jr in North Carolina as that state Supreme Court on Monday ordered election officials to piss away hundreds of thousands of dollars and delay early voting by at least a week to remove the Roadkill collector from those ballots.

Obliging the letter if maybe not the spirit of convicted felon former President Trump’s demand that his debate opponent Vice President Kamala Harris not be permitted to have any “boxes or artificial lifts” to make her seem less short in comparison, Axios reports that ABC News is instead giving her a shorter podium so that her 5 ft 4 inch stature would not look so tiny in comparison to the Orange Slob’s self-reported 6 ft 3 inches during Tuesday night’s big debate in Philadelphia.

Former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, a piece of shit who resigned in disgrace for sexually harassing female employees and God knows what else, will still probably come out of this looking better than the House Republicans who tried to use his handling of nursing homes during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic to excuse convicted felon former President Trump’s far, far worse conduct during the crisis. What’s funny here is how unnecessary this all is, that this investigation is meant to try to polish Trump’s record when they probably would’ve been better off leaving it alone rather than bringing it up again in the home stretch of the election when a large part of Trump’s comeback pitch is to get voters to forget how badly he fucked it all up.

“If Republicans in the House, and Senate, don’t get absolute assurances on Election Security, THEY SHOULD, IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, GO FORWARD WITH A CONTINUING RESOLUTION ON THE BUDGET. THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO ‘STUFF’ VOTER REGISTRATIONS WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS. DON’T LET IT HAPPEN – CLOSE IT DOWN!!!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Tuesday, plainly agitated over the all-but-certain failure of his lowly supplicant Speaker Mike Johnson’s attempt to force a vote on the SAVE Act – banning non-citizens from voting in federal elections, which is already illegal – by attaching it to a continuing resolution to fund the government.

House Dems Adam Smith, Jamie Raskin, and Mark Takano tell the New Republic that they haven’t heard back from the US Army on their request for information about convicted felon former President Trump’s assault on an employee at Arlington National Cemetery during a campaign event two weeks ago and say they’re renewing the push for answers and accountability for Team Orange.

“The alleged assault of an Arlington staff member by Trump campaign staff requires a strong official response,” the Dems said in a statement provided to The New Republic, adding the “failure to properly investigate this egregious incident in a timely manner and hold violators accountable undermines the integrity and honor of Arlington National Cemetery” eroding “norms requiring nonpartisanship in the military. We urge the US Army to immediately provide information regarding how the event was coordinated,” meaning they want to get to the bottom of how and why the cemetery was staged to make it look like President Biden and VP Harris didn’t show up to honor those killed in the Afghanistan withdrawal when they weren’t even invited in the first place.

OPEC continued to interfere in the election Tuesday as the price of a barrel of crude oil sank to $65.78, threatening lower gas prices when Republicans need voters to suffer, Bloomberg reports.

Yes this is a real billboard in Arizona😂

The media is going all out to cover up these stories about illegal aliens eating people’s pets

They don’t want the truth out there

Too late! pic.twitter.com/I1ASM0TnzR

Really showing us in “the media” for “covering up” the murder and consumption of cats. But what if it’s the billboard that’s a lie too? How could we ever prove that it’s a Photoshopped image?
