Shitbag Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent zero buses full of migrants north in July 2024, down from 95 buses with 4,281 passengers on board in the same month in 2023, NBC News reports on a sign that Joe Biden’s border policy is actually really working no matter how badly Fat Hitler sabotaged a bipartisan legislative fix so he could campaign on the “border bloodbath emergency.”

Naturally Abbott’s minions wanted to take credit for it. “Texas has decreased illegal crossings into the state by 85% thanks to our historic border mission,” said spokesworm Andrew Maheris. “Fewer illegal crossings into Texas means there are fewer buses departing for sanctuary cities.”

Convicted felon former President Trump is pretty adamant about not heeding Republican calls to stop with the name-calling and deranged bullshit in his upcoming debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, with one minion telling the Bulwark that the fat bastard has said “This is just the way I am. I hate my opponent. I hate my opponents,” Trump said when the source tried to tell him to avoid using “stupid” or “dumb” at next month’s face-off. “Hillary, Joe, Kamala. It doesn’t matter. I just hate them.”

“I’m going to be mean,” Trump told another minion about his plans for the debate, even as his supplicants worry that sounding like a crazy asshole is just going to play into Harris’s hands.

Day Four of the Democratic National Convention means it’s also day four of the tired, demented old man’s attempts to draw attention back on himself, this time in front of the wall Mexico didn’t fund.

A new SurveyUSA poll of North Carolina voters finds Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon former President Trump 46 to 45 percent and by 48 to 46 percent among those who said they’ll definitely vote… So yeah, you can tell why Trump went to the state three times in four weeks.

Dem Attorney General Josh Stein leads fat, antisemitic MAGA psychopath Lt Gov Mark Robinson 48 to 34 percent in the race to succeed term-limited incumbent Democrat Governor Roy Cooper.

The combined broadcast audience share of the DNC’s third night across 44 media markets was 29 percent higher than the RNC’s last month, as the Dems drew 11.7 million viewers to the Republicans’ 9.1 million, Fox TV ratings analyst Michael Mulvihill reports, while cautioning that this is preliminary and could shrink with full national numbers. Mulvihill also mentions that the rough comparison between the respective running mates’ speeches shows Minnesota Gov Tim Walz pulling in 11.9 million over a half hour to couch fucker JD Vance’s 9.6 million over 45 minutes.

“I will be doing a LIVE PLAY BY PLAY on TRUTH Social of Comrade Kamala Harris’ Speech tonight at the Democrat National Convention in Chicago. We will start at 10 PM, Eastern, and be covering and commenting on some of the earlier Speeches made. She became the Nominee without receiving one Vote, stealing the Nomination from Crooked Joe Biden who earned it by getting 14 Million Votes.”

“I am no fan of Biden, who was the Worst President in the History of the United States and, likewise, she is considered to be the Worst Vice President (and Border ‘Czar’) in the History of the United States, but Biden got ‘shafted.’ We will expose all of her Radicalism, the horrible job she did at the Border, Crime, and Foreign Relations, and her Weaponization against her Political Opponent, using corrupt Prosecutors and Courts in New York, Washington, DC, and Atlanta. I hope everybody will be following along on TRUTH, tonight!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Thursday.

Apparently he’s forgetting that the last time he promised a live play-by-play during a major address by his presidential rival his entire network collapsed. Probably not from too much traffic, either.

The fat bastard also warned “The USA will be reduced to ashes” if he loses in November.

“A heretofore unknown to us bellwether in Washington state’s Dem primary vote indicates that, while turnout was about 6 percent shy of the show of force from before the 2018 Blue Wave, it was also 6 percent higher than what preceded the absolute beatdowns Dems took in 2010 and 2014,” we wrote on August 16th, 2022, citing a Politico report quoting some GOP consultant who was taking the turnout seriously. “We expected the low approval rating of Joe Biden to create a Republican wave. In Washington state, the election results were closer to neutral,” the consultant said, plainly uneasily.

Mind you this quote was three months before the midterms. House Republicans then won the national popular vote 50 to 47.3 percent, flipping nine seats for a 222 to 213 majority after primary turnout in Washington was +10.4 percent Dem. In 2014 and 2010 it was +3.5 and +1.8, respectively.

This year’s turnout: +15.8 percent Dem, higher than 2020’s +14 and 2016’s +15.6 Dem edges. It’s 2016 that sticks out for obvious reasons, because we still ended up with a Republican trifecta and the shitshow that was the Trump years. To that end, the eggheads at Split Ticket dug into it further, finding that if they separate primary turnout in “non-urban Washington” they can see a much stronger correlation between the partisan makeup and what the eventual national turnout is.

On one hand outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell hates convicted felon former President Trump and simply used him to further his own evil agenda during the fat bastard’s failed four years in office. It’s a no-brainer that Mitch prefers a Republican win the presidency and enable more court-packing and a plutocratic tax regime, hence the “endorsement” for Trump.

On the other, even if that endorsement was tepid and unenthusiastic for Trump himself, you would think Mitch would be excited for Donald to lead a Red Wave that would result in a trifecta in January and free rein for a GOP dictatorship, and to show that excitement by publicly projecting some confidence whether or not he harbors any inner personal doubt over his party’s prospects.

Mitch didn’t do that while addressing some business group meeting on Wednesday, per NBC’s Lexington, Kentucky affiliate. The fascist Bluegrass State Senator said he wasn’t sure who was going to win, only that it’ll be “very, very competitive,” and then played up his very meager bipartisan record, saying “I actually joined Joe Biden in announcing that the Brent Spence Bridge was going to be built and miraculously enough, even without tolls. As you can imagine, I think, none of my members were too happy to see me standing by Joe Biden up in northern Kentucky.”

The third-place finisher in this week’s Miami-Dade, Florida County Mayoral primary, MAGA influencer Alex Otaola, has demanded a recount after losing by 46 percent to incumbent Daniella Levine Cava, who took more than 50 percent and thus automatically won reelection, the Miami Herald reports

“It’s impossible, impossible that Daniella Levine Cava, who has done an awful job over the last four years, got more votes than when no one knew her,” said the Cuban-born right winger Otaola at a “victory party” for fans at his farm in Homestead on Wednesday night, adding that the county’s “electoral health” depended on a recount. Though Tuesday was the primary, the county mayor’s office is officially non-partisan and under state law the general election is canceled automatically when a candidate wins a majority. Which Levine Cava did, pulling in 57.9 percent at 163,597 votes to runner up Manny Cid’s 23 percent at 64,985 and Otaola’s third place 11.8 percent at 33,252 votes.

Miami-Dade Assistant Deputy Supervisor of Elections Vanessa Innocent on Wednesday responded to Otaola campaign manager Andy Santana’s demand for a recount with an “lol, no,” pointing to state law allowing for recounts when a race is decided by less than half a percentage point. “Recounts are not conducted by request,” Innocent wrote in an email replying to Santana’s plea asserting a review was “essential” to ensure the integrity of elections “given the close nature of the results.”

“The highly overrated Jewish Governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, made a really bad and poorly delivered speech talking about freedom and fighting for Comrade Kamala Harris for President, yet she hates Israel and will do nothing but make its journey through the complexities of survival as difficult as possible, hoping in the end that it will fail.”

“Judge only by her actions! Yet Shapiro, for strictly political reasons, refused to acknowledge that I am the best friend that Israel, and the Jewish people, ever had. I have done more for Israel than any President, and frankly, I have done more for Israel than any person, and it’s not even close. Shapiro has done nothing for Israel, and never will. Comrade Kamala Harris, the Radical Left Marxist who stole the nomination from Crooked Joe, will do even less. Israel is in BIG trouble!” posted convicted felon former President Trump early Thursday. Sounds like Shapiro did a number on him.

Wednesday features a slate of speakers including Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and performances by Stevie Wonder, Pink, and others.

Viewership for the second night of the Democratic National Convention’s broadcast across 12 networks increased slightly from the first night as 20.6 million tuned in, absolutely crushing the 14.8 million second night share of last month’s Republican National Convention, Deadline reports.

Federal prosecutors have opened a sweeping investigation into Trump-and-Russia connected propagandists, raiding the homes of Scott Ritter, a convicted sex offender and former UN weapons inspector constantly on Russian state TV, and Dimitri Simes, a Russian-born adviser to convicted felon Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, with more raids expected, the New York Times reports.

Beyoncé Knowles’s lawyers have threatened to send a cease and desist to convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign after giant head spokesman Steven Cheung used a clip of her song “Freedom” – Vice President Kamala Harris’s unofficial tune – in a tweet, Rolling Stone reports

A German Navy spokesman on Wednesday said there was “no deeper meaning” to one of their destroyer ships playing the “Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme)” that first debuted in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, while sailing up the Thames in London this week, Ars Technica reports.

Funny joke, specifically because the Empire drew a lot of inspiration from Nazi Germany, whose air force destroyed large swaths of London and killed thousands in bombing raids eight decades ago.

“I hope all of the voters who left the Democrat-run states, putting up with illegals, rape, murders, and muggings, and moved to Florida, leave their Democrat voting there. Florida is a nice conservative place to live. Please don’t ruin it by voting for the communist Democratic Party. You moved to get away from crime wanting some peace and safety. Keep it that way. Thank you, and God bless you,” writes The Villages, Florida man Harold Scott in a letter to the editor at Villages-News.com, who evidently printed it for the banal comedy value typical to the site’s content.

Brainwormed independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr’s campaign on Wednesday announced he’ll “address the nation” in Arizona Friday morning, CNN reports, adding that the timing and place are suspicious as convicted felon former President Trump is holding a rally in the state that evening.

…so don’t be terribly surprised if Bobby shows up on stage with his fellow unhinged freak that night.

UPDATE 8/21/2024 3:19 PM EDT: ABC’s Jon Karl reports it’s definitely happening.
