What had last week elicited an “Oh fuck, oh no” from Dem voters is now more like “Okay, wrap it up already,” as the DNC is still moving ahead with its plan for a rapid virtual nomination of its presumptive candidate, locking Veep Kamala Harris in on the ballot for November, NBC reports.

“Netanyahu’s speech to Congress falls short, as have his actions since taking office, and I’m calling on him to resign immediately. I met with families of hostages today and they overwhelmingly were critical of Netanyahu and believe he’s not doing enough in service to their families and families across the region I stand with them. As I’ve said before, his approach to this war and his rejection of a two-state solution has led to unimaginable pain in the region, failed to keep his own people secure and made us all less safe. It’s past time for all parties to agree to a ceasefire to stop the civilian suffering in Gaza, bring the hostages home, end this terrible war and hold those responsible for October 7th accountable,” says California Dem Congressman Jimmy Gomez in a statement after the Israeli dictator addressed a joint session marked by high-profile absences and walkouts.

Silly lib thinking that autocrats like “Bibi” are going to feel any sort of shame or remorse, or that the media will take it as seriously as they did when Dems called on Joe Biden to step aside.

People can be such selfish pricks sometimes, as 47 year-old prison inmate Ezequiel Romo found out the hard way on Sunday night. KTLA’s details are a little sketchy, but it’s obvious that some other dudes he was living with at at Centinela State Prison in Imperial County, California are real back stabbers. And front stabbers. And side stabbers. They’re pretty much just stabbers.

Truth be told, the now-deceased Romo was kind of a fucking prick himself though, as he’d been serving life without parole for first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit other murders. Per KTLA, Romo “was the leader of the Blythe Street gang in Panorama City and was responsible for at least eight deaths after he ordered members of the gang to turn on one another, removing drug addicts, informants, rivals and other people whom he considered ‘dead weight’ from the gang.”

Still, you have to give him some benefit of the doubt here. Like if there’s gotta be some way that a street gang leader who threatened to kill his own guys for getting the wrong tattoos or even missing his phone calls might have been a kind and benevolent prison gang leader who in no way had a gruesome death from “prison-manufactured weapons” coming to him. It’s entirely possible, right?

MAGA propaganda network Fox News on Wednesday pitched a September 17th debate to convicted felon former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaigns, Variety reports.

The date is just a week after what would have been ABC News’s night hosting the second Biden-Trump debate. That’s apparently still up in the air given Trump’s recent bitching about it after Harris took over, but hasn’t been officially canceled either. So it’s not clear what’s going on with two face-offs so close together on the calendar when they’re usually more spaced out. Quite possible that Team Trump and Fox News are colluding to try to box out the ABC News debate somehow.

In related-ish news, Trump just posted “A BIG WIN TODAY IN HIGH FLORIDA COURT AGAINST ABC FAKE NEWS, AND LIDDLE’ GEORGE SLOPADOPOLUS. A POWERFUL CASE! BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA WILL BE FORCED BY THE COURTS TO START TELLING THE TRUTH. THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR OUR COUNTRY. MAGA2024!” without bothering to link to any news story or court documents or otherwise explain what the fuck he was screaming about on Truth Social.

Continuing to preview his new memoir, convicted felon former President Trump’s nephew Fred C Trump III – father to a severely disabled 25 year old son William – writes in Time Magazine that the fat fuck had some very Hitler-ish attitudes towards such people, even his own flesh and blood grandnephew, telling Fred as much in the Oval Office. With then-HHS Secretary Alex Azar in the room with them. After sitting through a 45-minute meeting where Fred advocated for policies for better care for disabled people at which Donald appeared to be receptive, if rambling and stupid.

Residents of The Villages, Florida are a mixed bag when it comes to the new Hooters location set to open its doors some time in the coming months, with one telling Villages-News.com she’s “sure there will be plenty of dirty old men that are going to love it,” as if that wasn’t the point.

“It’s just another way our society devalues women as purely objects,”the Villager, Kathy Strope continued. “Personally, I do not think it will last very long. They should stick to constructing close to college campuses. That would serve them well,” said another female Villager. News to us that Hooters was a “close to college campuses” thing… well, actually it makes sense for hiring at least.

“I think The Villages has enough Peter Pans here without giving them even more toys,” said Geraldine Digiorgio, adding she sees “future problems” from the wings-and-boobs themed chain.

Villages-News’s story did not quote a single woman who was pro-Hooters. The men on the other hand were, well you already figured out where this was going. “I welcome Hooters to Lake Denton Plaza. Close to home. Besides the ‘Hooters,’ the wings and cold beer are always good. I will be a regular,” said Rich Nichols, who we’re sure subscribed to Playboy for the articles too. Sam Stevens complimented the chain’s business acumen. “I should imagine that their corporate management team had the gumption to run studies on their target audience to determine that there were enough prurient fellows, not unlike myself, who would be drawn to sipping the occasional brew whilst enjoying the scenery,” said Stevens, the one closest to admitting why he would patronize the place.

Dem Arizona Congressman and Senate candidate Rueben Gallego, tells CNN’s Manu Raju he wants Kamala Harris to pick fellow Arizonan Mark Kelly for VP. “As someone that wants to make sure that we have a good shot to win, this is the best ticket, he’s a border-state senator, understands border issues, is an astronaut, married to Gabby Giffords, it’s all kind of a good combination,” said Gallego.

First they hid Hillary’s crimes in the 2016 election and never let Trump see that server. Then they fucked up some software update last week and somehow that was connected to Hillary because it’s CrowdStrike and they’re Deep State. NOW it’s been revealed they’re into DEI! DEI! This is a total game changer for a company that was already deeply feared and hated in MAGA conspiracy circles.

Anyway, we’re still waiting for updates on Miller/America First Legal’s actions against the Biden Administration for opening a path to citizenship for the undocumented spouses of American citizens, Hunter Biden’s law license (though that probably took care of itself), Joe Biden and Alvin Bragg for interfering in the 2024 election, Fani Willis for not giving John Solomon documents, and their “new investigation into the role played by the Biden-Harris administration’s HHS in the prosecution of Texas Children’s Hospital Whistleblower Dr Ethan Haim,” and a whole bunch of other shit.

Having gotten a whole lot of nothing done in the past few weeks, the US House of Representatives will be, as of 10:45 AM Thursday, on break until September 9th, Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman reports.

Black “Fox and Friends” cast member Lawrence Jones and Fox News corporate comms claim that host Brian Kilmeade “clearly said college sorority,” emphasis ours, Zeteo’s Justin Baragona reports on the aftermath of Kilmeade actually much more clearly calling it a “colored sorority.”

“[Politico writer] Eugene Daniels’ tweet [with the clip] completely misquoted and unnecessarily maligned Brian Kilmeade who clearly said college sorority. We’re still waiting for him to correct his mistake,” Fox said in their full statement to Baragona. Sounds like they’re just going to seize upon the smallest shadow of doubt about what was said and go with the “complete denial” route.

Yeah, you’re really not supposed to say “colored” anymore to refer to Black people. Just because the NAACP and maybe some other legacy institutions (maybe even the sorority itself) haven’t adjusted their names does not make it okay. Now Fox and Friends viewers are going to start thinking it’s okay because host Brian Kilmeade used it while complaining about Vice President Kamala Harris’s plans to skip Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu’s big address to Congress on Wednesday.

Mediaite has the next minute right after this clip and no, the Black dude there, Lawrence Jones, does not tell Kilmeade he fucked up. Jones did however warn Republicans the “DEI” bullshit is “going to tick voters off” and “you’re going to lose.” He also said “Look, I understand it, Biden set the stage for it saying: ‘Hey, I’m only going to select a black woman,'” which is a lie that Mediaite of course didn’t fact-check. In 2020 Biden said only he was committing to selecting a woman as running mate, not specifically a Black woman. Jones may have been confusing that statement with Biden committing to nominating a Black woman for the Supreme Court, which he did and fulfilled.

“Today, the House Freedom Caucus released the following official position urging leadership to keep Representative Bennie Thompson from being a member on the Task Force to investigate the attempted assassination of President Trump and remove him from his role as Ranking Member on the House Committee on Homeland Security. In April, Thompson launched an effort with other radical progressive Democrats to deny Secret Service protection to President Trump – legislation that he continues to defend even after the attempted assassination on July 13.”

“We therefore urge the removal of Rep. Thompson as the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Homeland Security. Similarly, his actions should invalidate Rep Thompson from serving on the task force to investigate the attempted assassination of President Trump. Americans cannot trust that he will be an unbiased arbiter of the facts in the effort to get to the bottom of the greatest failure of the Secret Service in more than three decades,” say the House Freedom Caucasians in a statement justifying their “official position” opposing Thompson being named to the chamber’s panel investigating the failed assassination attempt on convicted felon former President Trump.

The problem is, and there’s always a problem, is that these cunts are omitting the toplines of Thompson’s bill (that will never pass in the Congress anyway): it would strip Secret Service protection from imprisoned felons. Obviously Thomas Crooks didn’t come at Trump in the yard with a shank for stealing his cigs, the Freedom Caucasians are full of shit, per usual.

A few facts and figures from a Wednesday Harris campaign memo: “In the first 24 hours after receiving President Biden’s endorsement, Team Harris raised over $81 million – the most in a 24 hour period in the history of presidential politics. As of Tuesday evening, Team Harris has raised $126 million since the endorsement. Over 1.4 million grassroots donors made donations since Sunday, 64 percent of whom made their first contribution of the 2024 cycle. Since Sunday, Team Harris has added 74,000 new recurring donors, with 2/3rds of these donors signing up for weekly donations.”

“We also know that it takes more than money to win the presidential election – it takes an army of supporters and volunteers to spread our message. In the last two days, we’ve seen unprecedented volunteer signups. Since Sunday afternoon, over 100,000 volunteers have signed up to join the campaign. In Nevada, volunteers literally showed up at field offices on Sunday asking to help and 2,500 Pennsylvanians signed up to volunteer, 4x our previous biggest day. In Wisconsin, we held our biggest rally ever on Tuesday, with more than 3,500 fired up supporters who organizers will now engage to volunteer with the campaign. Nearly 2,000 people applied to work on the campaign in the 24 hours after Vice President Harris announced her campaign – more than 3x our previous record.”

Ummm… Holy shit this is insane and just so goddamned weird. Actually don’t want to give anything about it away, just watch it. We’ll simply link some background about Republican Missouri state Senator Bill Eigel’s previous claims to fame: book burning, trying to out-fascist his primary rival, dipshit Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, and losing his parking spot at the state capitol for being too fucking obnoxious and extreme even for his chamber’s far right Republican leadership.

Vote.org on Monday and Tuesday saw its largest spike in new registrations in the 2024 cycle, with 38,500 new democracy participants signing up, Politico Playbook reports, adding that the total was even higher than from that one post by Taylor Swift and that most of the noobs were under 34.

Seems significant. What would also be significant is if Swift gets behind Kamala Harris. The merest hint of a threat she would endorse Joe Biden (again) incited an absolute shitstorm of MAGA panic earlier this year, boiling so furiously that even convicted felon former President Trump himself could not (and still can’t) contain his deep anxiety over it. We’re actually more eager to see that flare up again than we are the possible endorsement from the 21st century’s female Elvis Presley itself.

In a letter obtained by the New York Times, convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign counsel on Tuesday wrote to the heads of ABC, NBC and CBS calling their plans to carry President Joe Biden’s Oval Office address “a prime-time campaign commercial,” and cited FCC rules on fairness to demand “equal airtime” for the Orange God Emperor, based on the assumption that Biden will say something something to promote Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign.

“It appears that President Biden’s speech will not be a bona fide news event,” but a “campaign speech” wrote lawyer David Warrington in the letter. It’s not clear why these dipshits didn’t simply wait until after the address to see whether or not Biden does actually tell Americans to vote for Harris and then complain about any alleged violation of the FCC’s “equal time” rules.

What is clear however is how the fat bastard and his minions are acting like the rules apply to others when they can do whatever the fuck they want like using the White House for political events such as the 2020 RNC. Or are complaining in good faith to FEC about Harris’s campaign picking up financially where Biden’s left off while Trump uses donor money to pay Melania’s dress maker.

For the second time in the 21st century the Mormon capital of the world will host the Winter Olympics as the IOC on Wednesday announced that Salt Lake City have landed the 2034 global tournament of champions in shuffling, skiing, snowboarding, ice hockey, and other shit.

Senator Mitt Romney was jubilant, posting, “Congratulations to all those who worked to make this happen, especially Fraser Bullock and state leaders. I look forward to cheering on Team USA as they compete in the Beehive State in 2034!” Romney will probably still be alive by then as he’s retiring from public office and is thus less likely to be murdered by a vengeful Trump fanboy.

The 2034 games will be the first Olympiad held in the United States since the 2002 winter games, which was also hosted by Salt Lake City. Which is great, but when the fuck is New York going to get an Olympics? Why are Paris, Tokyo, Rio, London, etc good enough but not Gotham? We have the goddamned UN headquarters here and we keep getting screwed. What’s the IOC’s scam?

In an advance copy obtained by the Guardian, convicted felon former President Trump’s nephew Fred C Trump III – not to be confused with MAGA rapper Forgiato Blow, who calls himself “Trumps Nephew” on Twitter – writes in his upcoming memoir All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way that in the early 1970s his scumbag uncle blamed, without evidence, Blacks for slashing the cover of his “cotillon white Cadillac Eldorado convertible,” using the worst possible epithet.

Fred recalls that he was at his grandparents’ house in the wealthy central Queens neighborhood of Jamaica Estates one afternoon when the future failed president showed up and asked him to come outside to see the damage to his car. “‘N****rs,’ I recall him saying disgustedly. ‘Look what the n****rs did.’ Donald was pissed. Boy, was he pissed,” Fred, who was about 12 at the time, writes.

“I knew that was a bad word,” Fred continues, postulating that Donald never witnessed who had slashed the canvas top but had merely “saw the damage, then went straight to the place where people’s minds sometimes go when they face a fresh affront. Across the racial divide,” which, according to Fred, was pretty typical of Uncle Don. To the pre-orange Donald, “if something bad happened” to residents of Jamaica Estates, “they were the ones who did it. Almost certainly, it was them,” Fred writes, emphasis his on “they.” But Tim Scott says he’s just “racially insensitive.”

.@SebGorka: Are you looking forward to debating Kamala Harris?

We get that this is more base maintenance/fan service whatever but isn’t the ostensible point of a campaign account to highlight positive clips of the candidate to undecided voters who would be open to their messaging and not like whatever the fuck this idiot is sputtering?
