MSNBC's Kornacki says Trump trailing Harris but in better shape than previous two elections https://t.co/AXIZn5E2gG

— Fox News (@FoxNews) September 4, 2024

In audio of a July 31st meeting obtained by ProPublica, a leader of a far right group tasked with lobbying against efforts to impose an ethics code on Supreme Court justices read aloud an email Karen extremist Ginni Thomas thanked the group for pushing back against Democrats moving to impose accountability for her and her husband Clarence’s willful whoring to MAGA billionaires.

“YOU GUYS HAVE FILLED THE SAILS OF MANY JUDGES. CAN I JUST TELL YOU, THANK YOU SO, SO, SO MUCH,” Ginni wrote to Kelly Shackleford, director of the First Liberty Institute, a $25 million-a-year operation that bills itself as “the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending religious liberty for all Americans,” for which also defending the liberty of jurists to engage in naked corruption is a means to that end. After reading the email out loud, Shackelford told donors he saw Thomas’ support as evidence that judges, who “can’t go out into the political sphere and fight,” were thankful for First Liberty’s work to block reforms. “It’s neat that, you know, those of you on the call are a part of protecting the future of our court, and they really appreciate it,” he said.

Shackelford then attacked Justice Elena Kagan as “treasonous” and “disloyal” for her recent public endorsement of an enforcement mechanism for the court’s newly adopted ethics code. appearance, decrying that such an ethics code would “destroy the independence of the judiciary.”

In a column headlined “The GOP is Actually Better Off if Kamala Harris Wins,” Politico’s Jonathan Martin on Wednesday writes that he’s been speaking to Republicans in Congress on background and found that “the most fervent private debate I came across in the party was how best to accelerate Trump’s exit to the 19th Hole. One high-level Republican, conceding it may only be ‘wishful thinking,’ even floated the idea of a Harris victory followed by Biden pardons of both his son, Hunter, and Trump. That would take the issue of both cases off Harris’ plate and, more to the point, drain the energy behind Trump’s persecution complex so that Republicans can get on with the business of winning elections.” Lol at that Trump pardon wishcasting.

Martin points out that they’re not going to shake the fat bastard as long as their voters won’t, and quotes from former GOP strategist Terry Sullivan, who says “You’re assuming Republicans have a top of the ticket problem and not a voter base problem. It’s not like our leaders have been leading the voters to the wilderness against the voters’ judgment,” as if Trump isn’t a leader himself.

In hyping the piece, Wednesday’s Politico Playbook morning edition quotes an anonymous “conservative leader” as saying “There’s a lot of anxiety about what Trump does to Republican ability to win in 2028 – and what he also may do to the party in terms of policy long-term. There is just this concern that like, ‘OK, if the party just goes in that direction, then what kind of party is it going forward? And can conservatives, then, have a home going forward?'”

Obese North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un ordered as many as 30 public officials executed for failing to prevent recent floods from destroying more than 4,000 homes as well as road and rail infrastructure in the communist kingdom’s northwestern regions last month, Fox News reports.

It’s not clear what the officials’ failures were specifically, as in whether they maybe neglected to open up the drainage channels of a dam that ended up bursting or something like that, or if they were simply executed because Kim needed a scapegoat. Probably safer to assume the latter.

A new set of swing state likely voters polls by CNN/SSRS finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 50 to 44 percent in Wisconsin, 48 to 43 percent in Michigan, 48 to 47 percent in both Georgia and Nevada. In Pennsylvania they’re tied at 47 percent each while in Arizona the fat fuck leads Harris 49 to 44 percent, which is probably an outlier.

The smarter half of Mr. and Mrs. Eric Trump and the RNC co-chair who totally got the job based on her extensive resume, former television segment producer Lara Trump wasn’t going to let the Republican National Convention, nationwide Congressional races and a presidential campaign get in the way of hitting the studio for an afternoon to lay down a track, corrected by Autotune®, which follows the theme of her previous song, if horrid is the theme.

In this case, Trump’s market is the burgeoning market of dead firefighters, as the song Hero commemorates the sacrifice of men and women who served as first responders.  Trump wants to corner the royalties from firefighters memorials and low-budget uniform fetish rom-coms.

The Republican-led governments of seven states have filed suit to halt a Biden Administration student loan forgiveness program that could save as much as $20,000 in accrued interest for each of 25 million borrowers, the Washington Post reports.

Introduced in April, the executive rule has yet to go into effect, but the Republicans from seven states–Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina and Ohio led by Missouri Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey–says they have evidence the Administration is illegally planning to implement the loan forgiveness before the rule is issued.  They claim they have communications between the Department of Education and loan servicers directing them to wipe $73 billion in interest payments off the books days before the rule is to be issued.

The last six weeks haven’t been kind to rapist and GOP standard-bearer Donald Trump.  Sure, his polls are tanking after the Democrats violated the Consitution and did the ol’ switcheroo after the Republican Convention and put radical Marxist former prosecutor Kamala Harris in the top slot instead of Sleepy Joe.  But what’s really hurt Don is his stock price tanking.

With three weeks remaining in the lockout before Trump can sell any or all of his personal portfolio of 114.8 million shares of DJT stock, but doing so would certainly tank the stock; when the guy who owns more than three-quarters of the outstanding shares starts dumping stock, lower level sellers are jumping ship.

The Trump Media stock closed at $18.08 on Tuesday, a drop of more than seven percent for the day.  That brings loses for the stock to 55% over the last six weeks.  For Trump, that’s a “paper loss” of $2.6 billion.  And it will get worse when Trump starts selling to raise cash for his existing and future civil judgments.

Only in the Party attempting to say they represent American Working Families:  the billionaires funding the conservative Club for Growth will buy $12 million in ads to help Bizarro World’s Arizona Republican Governor Kari Lake’s financially strapped campaign, Politico reports.

With Friend of Clarence billionaire Harlon Crow as a co-founder, the Club for Growth has already purchased commercials attacking Democratic nominee Ruben Gallego, a former Marine and current Congressman who is leading in the polls.

The group is running two different spots:  one in English, saying Gallego is violating his oath as a Marine to defend the nation by supporting “open borders,” and one in Spanish blaming high gas and food prices on Gallego and Democrats.

Reality show “star” Amy Slaton, one half of the titular duo in TLC’s 1000-Lb Sisters, was hospitalized in Tennessee after being bitten by a camel Monday and then subsequently arrested for possession of psychedelic mushrooms because when cops responded to the petting zoo where she was bitten they walked by her car and smelled weed she had sitting out on the front seat, People.com reports.

Slaton, 36, and her male companion Brian Scott Lovvorn were both arrested and face charges of illegal possession of schedule I, illegal possession of schedule VI and two counts of child endangerment, since her sons Gage Deon, 4, and Glenn Allen, 2, were present, according to a statement from the Crockett County sheriff’s department. It’s not clear if Lovvorn and Slaton are dating because a separate report by InTouch says Slaton had in February announced she was dating a man named Kevin after having divorced Michael Halterman, father of Gage Deon and Glenn Allen.

“Michael and me are sharing custody,” Amy said on a February episode of 1000-Lb Sisters, filmed as she finalized the divorce. “I get the boys 70 percent of the time, Michael gets ’em 30.” Michael, 41, had requested 50/50 custody, which Amy shot down. “I was the chef, I was the cook, I was the nanny, I was everything in that house,” she insisted. “He was the video game player. I raise those kids. I made the bath waters. You don’t know how your fucking son likes his bath water, don’t play with me. There should be no reason why he needs extra days with the kids when he’s not even gonna take care of ’em. It’s not you gonna be having the kids, it’s gonna be [Michael’s] mother.”

A federal judge on Tuesday spiked convicted felon former President Trump’s attempt to move the 2016 election interference case he already lost to the federal court system, finding that there’s nothing in the Supreme Court’s bullshit Trump v US ruling that applies.

“The Justice Department announced today the unsealing of terrorism, murder conspiracy, and sanctions-evasion charges against six senior leaders of Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization. The charges relate to the defendants’ central roles in planning, supporting, and perpetrating the terrorist atrocities that Hamas committed in Israel on Oct 7, 2023 (the October 7 Hamas Massacres), involving the murders and kidnappings of countless innocent civilians, including American citizens, which was the culmination of Hamas’s decades-long campaign of terrorism and violence against Israel and its allies, including American citizens. The defendants are either deceased or remain at large,” says a Justice Department press release.

Fox News cut away from their nepo hire White House reporter Peter Doocy being made to look like a complete asshole by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre after he asked her to comment on Vice President Kamala Harris allegedly switching accents depending on which audience she’s talking to.

“Today, Rep Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and Rep Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs, are demanding answers from Donald Trump after a bombshell report by the Washington Post surfaced new evidence suggesting the former president may have illegally accepted a $10 million campaign contribution from Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign and that appointees in his own Department of Justice (DOJ) covered it up,” says a joint Tuesday press release by Raskin and Garcia.

“A recent report from the Washington Post has created renewed suspicion that you collected a $10 million cash bribe from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. Surely you would agree that the American people deserve to know whether a former president—and a current candidate for president—took an illegal campaign contribution from a brutal foreign dictator. Accordingly, we request that you immediately provide the Committee with information and documents necessary to assure the Committee and the American public that you never, directly or indirectly, politically or personally, received any funds from the Egyptian President or Government,” wrote the Members.

The organizers of a far right campaign to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom, again, declared moral victory on Tuesday after the deadline for them to turn in the petition with the required 1.3 million signatures to initiate a statewide recall election came and went, the Sacramento Bee reports.

The group, Rescue California, turned in 0 signatures. “We’re not turning in any,” said Anne Hyde Dunsmore, chief petitioner with the campaign, on Tuesday. “The process is time consuming and we felt that we had done what we needed to do.” Dunsmore claimed her group’s focus shifted to keeping Newsom out of the White House. “When you read about Gavin Newsom today, he is termed as irrelevant and that’s a victory. He is not on a track to the White House. That’s a victory. He is now having to fix the problems he’s created. That’s a victory,” she continued. Jesus Christ, lol.

Convicted felon former President Trump on Tuesday brushed off podcaster Lex Fridman’s concern over Donald’s continued fixation with 2020 election conspiracies being unpopular with indie voters.

Despite having claimed that he committed his life to Jesus in the 1980s, far right psychopath North Carolina Lt Gov and gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson was a five-night a week regular at a peep show/place and porn video store in the 1990s and early 2000s, employees tell The Assembly.

At least six of the men who worked at Gents Video and I-40 Video in Greensboro told the local news site that Robinson came into the places to masturbate in the private video booths. Owner Louis Money said Robinson also bought bootleg porn tapes he sold on the side. “He was good for at least one a week,” said Money, noting that didn’t pay for the last one, described as a compilation of “super hardcore” films he had acquired in New York City that were too trashy to be sold in North Carolina.

Money said he doesn’t really care about the $25 Robinson owes him for that last tape.

Roadkill collector Robert F Kennedy Jr on Tuesday sued the Michigan Secretary of State in an attempt to get himself removed from the ballot after quitting the race, the Detroit Free Press reports.

It’s not clear what legal argument Kennedy is using because Michigan statute prohibits candidates who have accepted a minor party’s nomination – which Bobby did – from withdrawing.

A likely Russian disinformation operation not ready for primetime – given the production value of the site, KBSF-TV.com, which was registered on August 20th, 2024, the other articles were copy-pasted verbatim from other sites without attribution, and the ads are completely static – went ahead with it anyway on Tuesday, claiming Vice President Kamala Harris left a then-13 year-old girl paralyzed from the waist down after a hit-and-run accident in 2011, using the terribly-acted video above.

National Zero was able to find that the host and domain are the same as ours – NameCheap.com – and have contacted their legal/abuse department to both report “KBSF-TV” and request comment on the person/entity who slapped this shitty hit job together, though we’re being realistic about that.

A federal judge on Tuesday issued a temporary injunction against convicted felon former President Trump, prohibiting from playing the late Isaac Hayes’ “Hold On, I’m Coming” at his rallies and dancing to the song as he usually does at the end of them, Meidas Touch reports.
