“Go ahead media. Keep up the rhetoric.  And when you get what you want don’t be surprised of the consequences.  CV2 will be a reality.”–the top comment by “gman”–who obviously isn’t–at Breitbart as they convince themselves that a man who voted for Trump in 2016 will stoke the next “CV,” whatever the hell that is.

Republican Kentucky state Senator Johnnie L Turner was airlifted to University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville on Sunday night after driving his ride-on lawnmower into the deep end of an empty swimming pool, WMYT reports citing State Trooper Shane Jacobs, who responded to the scene at Turner’s home in the Sukey Ridge area of Harlan County in the southeast of Kentucky.

It’s not clear yet if alcohol was involved in the incident that occurred at approximately 7:30 PM on Sunday. Turner is reportedly in stable condition medically but a 76 year-old man on a ride-on mower at dusk close enough to a swimming pool where he can fall in probably isn’t all that “stable.”

Possessing in spades the wit and competence sorely lacking in current House Oversight Committee chairmain James Comer, Ranking Member Jamie Raskin is eyeing an ambitious agenda should Democrats take the House majority, putting on his list rigorous investigations relating to gun control, climate change, and Supreme Court ethics issues, as well as pursuing Trump-focused investigations, including the business dealings of convicted felon former President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Trump’s own business operations when he was president, all with the objective of convincing the public of the need to write and pass relevant legislation, Axios reports.

Their story goes on to mention that would-be Speaker Hakeem Jeffries will give Raskin pretty much unlimited independence, as if Raskin somehow has a reputation as a loose cannon or a fucking idiot like Comer and it needs to be spelled out. Toward the end however it is stressed that neither Raskin nor Jeffries are not “counting any chickens before they hatch” and it’s important to actually win the majority before they start making any real plans about what to do with it.

Since apparently @realDonaldTrump schedule wasn’t public how did the shooter know to be at the golf course?

Hmmm… Interesting question posed here by Tennessee MAGA Congressman Tim Burchett, famous for admitting he doesn’t want to do anything about gun control after three elementary school kids were slaughtered in his state last year. How could this guy have known that Trump would be on the golf course in Palm Beach if it wasn’t on his public schedule? We can probably start with that the schedule was completely empty and that with 51 days to go before the election, attempted assassin Ryan Routh, knew that Trump was not in the swing states but at one of his homes. Posting “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” randomly at 10:44 AM on Sunday also may have served as a hint that he was not busy with any other campaign-related activity. There’s also that the movements of “Trump Force One” are publicly searchable on air traffic tracking websites, so Routh knew that if not Trump himself but his plane was in the Palm Beach area. From here we have to speculate, but it’s extremely unlikely to turn out that Routh had acquired the Orange God Emperor’s whereabouts by any means other than simply observing his motorcade leaving Mar-a-Lago, arriving at the golf course, or both.

It’s hard to see it as being much more sophisticated than that. The fat, lazy bastard was not out on the road trying to recapture the White House, but dicking around on social media before making his way to a round of golf with one of his billionaire buddies and a maniac found him.

Sources on convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign tell NBC News’s Jake Traylor the fat bastard will “soon” be visiting Springfield, Ohio, the epicenter of their latest white nationalist fearmongering push over false stories of Haitian migrants eating dogs, cats, and waterfowl.

What an actual visit would look like is anyone’s guess and it’s hard to see Trump or his Mike Pence replacement meeting with Haitian community leaders. Republican Mayor Rob Rue probably isn’t going to be welcoming them, as on Sunday he told Politico he’s “tired and angry” over this shit.

“Any political leader that takes the national stage and has the national spotlight needs to understand the gravity of the words that they have for cities like ours, and what they say impacts our city. And we’ve had bomb threats the last two days. We’ve had personal threats the last two days, and it’s increasing, because the national stage is swirling this up. Springfield, Ohio, is caught in a political vortex, and it is a bit out of control. We are a wonderful city – a beautiful town. And for what it’s worth, your pets are safe in Springfield, Ohio,” said Rue, adding he’s “frustrated” with Donald.

Asked if he was going to vote for Trump, Rue said he’s “probably not going to answer that question.”

The March 12th, 2023 television broadcast of the 96th Academy Awards, the ceremony gala both colloquially known and officially billed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as “The Oscars,” on Sunday beat out competition that included the June 11th, 2023 broadcast of the 76th Annual Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Broadway Theatre (known as the “Tony”) Awards and the February 4th, 2024 broadcast of the 66th Grammy Awards (no “official” name) to win the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’s award (known as the “Emmy”) for “Outstanding Variety Special (Live).” It was the first win for the Oscars in the category but at least the 18th Emmy for the annual film industry awards show, past wins including “Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special” and “Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special” out of at least 54 nominations in various categories.

Other nominees in the “Outstanding Variety Special (Live)” included non-awards shows such as “The Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show Starring Usher” and “The Greatest Roast Of All Time: Tom Brady.” The 76th Annual Tony Awards broadcast did not go home empty handed as the awards show took the other awards show’s prize for “Outstanding Choreography For Variety Or Reality Programming – 2024.” The 66th Grammy Awards was shut out at the 76th Emmy Awards however.

And we’re not saying the American entertainment media industry is an incestuous, self-indulgent circlejerk, we’re just reporting that two of its top awards shows won at another top awards show.

Ryan Routh, the former Trump fan-turned Tulsi Gabbard fan (?) who attempted to assassinate convicted felon former President Trump at his golf course on Sunday appeared in a propaganda video for the Ukrainian Nazi extremist militia Azov Battalion in 2022 reposted by Pizzagate asshole Jack Posobiec and others in the hardcore MAGA influencer community… which according to Laura Loomer makes Routh a CIA asset by association because of some real or imagined connection to the white nationalist paramilitary group who had fought in an insurgency in occupied eastern Ukraine since 2014. The Nazi symbolism used in Azov Battalion’s flags and propaganda was used by the Kremlin and their allies here in the US as a justification for the 2022 invasion, that Russia attacked to purge Ukraine of “Nazis” – when the reality was the Azovs have never numbered more than 2,000.

Anyway, former neighbors in Greensboro, North Carolina describe Routh as a complete weirdo, with a woman who lived next door to him before he moved to Hawaii last year telling WGHP “I mean, trying to shoot Trump. That’s a lot. I would have never guessed, and I would have swore up and down, no, that’s not him… I just can’t believe it. I mean, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I mean the pictures and stuff and all, then I wouldn’t be able to believe that.” The unnamed neighbor added that Routh kept a shit ton of guns in his home, saying “I’ve seen the guns myself and all, and, yeah, they had a lot of guns and stuff over there, and, yeah, a lot of people were afraid of him back in the day.”

“Trumps Lead Over Harris Will Go UP Even Farther Now,” Newsmax commenter MaxinesMugshot replies to the story of the apparent assassination attempt of the Republican rapist and nominee Donald Trump at his Palm Beach golf club.  Poor Maxine doesn’t realize Trump lost his lead about a week after the Butler ear wing; there was no bandage bump.

“How misleading can you get? I mean honestly. ‘Shots Fired at Trump Property Near Donald Trump: Everything We Know,’ top commenter lazlo covax posts confidently at Newsweek.  “Two people reportedly exchanged gunfire outside of Trump’s golf course and the shots were targeted at each other, NOT TRUMP!!!!”  Although that’s not what officials are sharing about a Secret Service event outside Trump’s Palm Beach golf course.

After someone reportedly took a shot at a fat man on a golf course in Florida, an obviously foreign commenter boti reminded the hundreds of people who read the comments on Yahoo! that other countries, including his unspecified one, are far more peaceful and less violent:  “I love my country. To go to office our President rides his bike from home to the train station, has a chat on the way with some neighbours. After the train lands in the capital city, he first takes the tram and then walks the last 100 meters to the office. This doesn’t make my country a better one, but certainly more enjoyable.”

“A cabal of psychopathic killers wish to take over the world – standing in their way Donald Trump next president of these United States. Being psychopathic they have no empathy for whomever is killed, be it one or millions or billions. CoVID vax anyone?  These are the powers of darkness and evil,” Roco at Infowars writes after gunshots were heard at a golf course where the Orange Pharoh was sporting and the Secret Service detained someone after they fired at the suspect.

“Darkness cannot exist without the light, the warriors of light tread the shadows of the valley of death, we hear far off gunshots as they extinguish the darkness. The fight against the blackhats continues.,,”  [The commas at the end were Roco’s, apparently intending to symbolize some type of anarchy, or palsy.]

“The cheat isn’t plausible so they’re ramping up the violence,” says the top anonymous comment on Breitbart about the report of gun shots near the Florida golf club where the Republican nominee was practicing his craft, but the legitimacy of his source for what “they” should be viewed skepitcally.

“The Fake News media is complicit in people with TDS trying to shoot the president because they are intentionally lying, misrepresenting him and exaggerating what he is saying in order to get their candidate elected. I understand that this is not a targeted shooting necessarily at President Trump, but it’s their rhetoric that is responsible for anyone who is aiming violence at him” – The top comment on the New York Post story about the shooting near convicted felon former President Trump’s golf club in Palm Beach. Glad this Post reader was able to qualify his comment by acknowledging the unrelated nature of the shooting after blaming the media for it anyway.

President Trump is safe and sound after ANOTHER ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT!!!

Thank God!!! 🙏

They are trying to kill him!!!

They will do anything to stop him from winning.

UPDATE 2:50 p.m. ET:  MSNBC reports that the event happened in West Palm Beach at the Trump International Golf Course, where he was golfing.  Shots were heard in the distance, and Trump was rushed into a secure area.

UPDATE 2:54 p.m. ET:  It’s such an un-serious issue, Fox “News” isn’t covering it, nor have they created a “siren” chyron graphic.

ORIGINAL:  Take this for what you will, but the Trump campaign released a statement that “Trump was safe following gunshots in his vicinity,” according to a statement from Steven Cheung, Trump campaign liar via CNN.  “No further details at this time.”

Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump on Sunday confidently told Fox News’s Howie Kurtz that it’s not up to her to decide whether or not the great Springfield cat consumption hysteria is based in truth or not but that it’s a real shame local officials are getting in the way of their narrative about immigration by saying they’ve seen no evidence of it. Later, Lara did not disagree with her fat father-in-law’s demand that ABC News lose their broadcast license because he let Vice President Kamala Harris get under his skin in front of at least 67 million Americans.

Couch fucker JD Vance on Sunday morning said, verbatim, “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” as his explanation for why he was propagating lies about migrants eating cats.

A dishonest smear.

I didn't invent constituents complaining about this. We did help create the media focus on their complaints. https://t.co/0JfZrZ0fR4 pic.twitter.com/imEd3mPbkK

— JD Vance (@JDVance) September 15, 2024

And his comeback is that he didn’t actually “create” these stories – which we guess is technically true since he wasn’t the one who made this shit up – but that he’s merely amplifying them. At no point however does he acknowledge that the “media focus” might be sort of counterproductive to he and Trump’s stated objective of actually getting themselves elected to the White House.

94% say Taylor Swift’s endorsement has made no difference or made them LESS LIKELY to vote for Comrade Kamala.

Holy freaking shit this is ridiculous. We just checked the Trump campaign website to see if Tony Fabs put up another memo denouncing the ABC/Ipsos poll. Nothing yet. Also, not that we give a shit what the poll said about Swift’s endorsement’s effect but ABC themselves wrote, verbatim, “Those responding negatively are overwhelmingly Trump supporters, according to the poll,” meaning that it wasn’t going to change their minds because they were already voting for Donald no matter what.

A national Financial Times-Michigan Ross survey finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 44 to 42 percent on the question of who they think would do a better job of handling the economy, pretty much static from last month’s Harris 42 to Trump 41 which was a bump over Trump 41 – Biden 35. Of course it’s inside the margin of error but the think of how it would look if a Planned Parenthood poll found Trump leading 44 to 42 on abortion policy.

Even better: Among those who watched the debate, Harris improved 48 to Trump’s 42 percent.

“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” posted the 45th President of the United States of America at 10:44 AM EDT on Sunday, September 15th, 2024, a date which shall live in infamy until the next stupid thing and holy fuck this is where he’s at now after months of pathetically on-and-off wishcasting about wanting her endorsement in between moments of creepily lusting for the billionaire superstar.
