Psycho PAC 2; He's a Mentally SICK Man - George Conway Thoroughly Documents Signs of TRUMPs' Mental Illness..

'The Republican Party is Sick': Anti-Trumpers Plan For November & Beyond


MSNRAW 20 JUL 2024



https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=720


Anti-Trump attorney George Conway on Friday went on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to talk about his new "Psycho PAC '24" aimed at warning voters about former President Donald Trump's mental state.


While speaking with host Mika Brzezinski, Conway brought on a large poster board featuring the diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder, a pathology that he and others have speculated Trump suffers from.

Among the criteria are a failure to conform to social norms, deceitfulness, impulsivity, aggression, and reckless disregard for the safety of others.

After going through all nine of the criteria, Conway said that the signs of narcissistic personality disorder in Trump were unmistakable.

"He's nine for nine," he said. "He's a sick man. And that's what we're seeing. And I think he's had an advantage over these last couple of years that people haven't been seeing him. And now they're going to see him -- they're going to see the guy's a nut job."

Conway then said that he was starting the PAC to end what he called the "double standard" about the news media's nonstop coverage of President Joe Biden's mental acuity while giving a complete pass to the former president.

Willie Geist noted that signs of Trump's personality disorder were "on display" during Thursday night's nomination acceptance speech, as he pointed to Trump going wildly off script to lob personal attacks against opponents even as his aides had insisted that he would stick to a "unifying" message.

Questions Raised About Secretive TRUMPs’ Force 47 Election Plan


The Guardian 23 JUL 2024


https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800


'THE DON'



A secretive initiative dubbed "Trump Force 47" by Donald Trumps' inner circle, which has taken control of the Republican National Committee, has conservative election experts scratching their heads and questioning if it will pan out.


With the November election fast approaching, allies of the former president are pushing forward with a get-out-the-vote effort that is short on details which is alarming conservative election watchers anticipating what is still a close presidential race loaded with uncertainties..

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, "Trump Force 47" is "shrouded in secrecy since it launched earlier this year, raising questions in political circles about the ground-game strategy," adding, "the party’s field organizing is so small that some local Republican officials say they are anxious it won’t be enough."

According to the report, Republicans have only a dozen to two dozen offices in battleground states, while Democrats have flooded the country with almost 200 — with 50 in battleground Wisconsin alone.

The report notes the lack of information from the RNC has Republicans at the state level on edge.



As a leading North Carolina GOP official put it: "I don’t have heartburn—right now. It’s much more community based, as opposed to trying to get these large groups to show up.”

The report adds, "Officials with the Trump campaign argued that the old way of doing things needed to change—partly because times have changed, partly because Trump is an unconventional candidate.


What works for him, they added, might not work for the 2028 presidential nominee. They will cross that bridge when they come to it."

Kamala Harris attacks TRUMP over 'fear and hate' and vows US not going back to ‘chaos’ of TRUMP years



US Vice-President Kamala Harris has gone on the offensive against Donald Trump in the first rally of her White House campaign, portraying November’s election as a choice between a former prosecutor and a convicted felon.

Speaking to a crowd of about 3,000 in the battleground state of Wisconsin, Ms Harris likened her Republican opponent to fraudsters she said she had prosecuted.

Trump, meanwhile, assailed her record on the border, and posted on social media: “Lyin’ Kamala Harris destroys everything she touches!”

It comes a day after she secured the support of a majority of Democratic delegates, paving the way for her to become the party's nominee.

The fledgling Harris campaign raised a staggering $100m plus (£77m) in the 36 hours after Mr Biden’s exit.









Why TRUMPs' FEC Complaint Against Harris is A Long Shot


Trumps' campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday, accusing President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of violating campaign finance laws by transferring his $91 million in fundraising cash to her new campaign.

"The Commission must not and cannot sit idly by while one candidate takes nearly one hundred million dollars from the authorized committee of another, in violation of the Act and the will of the donors who gave the money in the first place." --- BALLDE****!

A ROCK: One Potential Harris V.P. Pick Should Scare The Hell Out of GOPS

Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly narrowed down her choice for presidential running mate to a small number of choices, and Arizona columnist believes that his state's senator would be the perfect fit....Sen. Mark Kelly, Navy fighter pilot and NASA astronaut...:clapper::clapper::clapper:

In his latest piece, Boas argues that Republicans aren't afraid of running against Harris, but they "absolutely should" be scared if she picks Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) as her running mate.



In particular, he argued that Kelly's biography as a Navy fighter pilot and NASA astronaut were likely to be highly appealing to swing voters.

Added to this, he writes, Kelly's parents were both police officers, which would make him an ideal messenger to rebut Republicans' attacks that Democrats are "soft on crime."

"If Kelly were the nominee, America would know there would be someone in the Harris White House who understands police officers and believes in their mission," he argues.


https://i.imgflip.com/6jygom.jpg


"When the Trump-Vance campaign accuses Harris of hating cops, Kelly could stand up and say, 'I’m the the son of cops, don’t educate Americans on something you know nothing about.'"



And as a border state senator who has long called for tougher restrictions on immigration, Kelly could help Democrats shore up the issue that appears to be their biggest weakness among voters.

"Republicans are giddy at the thought of crushing Kamala Harris in November," he writes. "They need to get a grip.

If Harris chooses the Arizonan as her running mate, you can call the Democrats soft. But Americans will look at Mark Kelly and see a rock."

Kamala Harris teams with childhood sexual abuse survivor to warn America away from TRUMP

The interview marked the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling striking down landmark Roe v. Wade decision

MSNBC 25 JUL 2024



https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/i...43p-ef7b13.jpg


Vice President Kamala Harris is joining hands with Hadley Duvall, who survived her stepfather’s sexual abuse as a child, to sound the alarm on what a second Trump presidency would mean for women in America.


“If you have a woman in your life that means something to you, her life is at stake,” Duvall told “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski, sitting alongside Vice President Harris, in an exclusive interview that aired on Monday morning.

The interview marked the two-year anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling striking down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which guaranteed the right to abortion in the United States.

“It does not matter if she is 12, 9, 34 … If there is a woman who is in that reproductive age, then, you know, her life is at stake during this election,” warned Duvall, now 22.

Harris applauded Duvall’s courage in sharing her traumatic story with the world to advocate for reproductive healthcare for all women. The vice president added: “Let’s be perfectly clear about how we got here.

Because the former president [Donald Trump] hand selected three members of the United States Supreme Court with the intention that they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade, and they did exactly as he intended.”

'Keep lying': Late night Trump rant about Harris quickly turns against him




https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...67&s=157&d=157

Vice President Kamala Harris appears to be keeping former President Donald Trump up at night.



The convicted felon and presumptive Republican nominee blasted of a barrage of Truth Social posts after midnight Tuesday to attack President Joe Biden, Harris and the media outlet he claimed was propping up the transition from one Democratic Party candidate to the other.


"ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business," Trump declared about 12:10 a.m. ET. "They then tried to make 'Sleepy' look like a great President - he was the WORST, and Lyin’ Kamala into a competent person, which she is not."



"Lyin'" appears to be the modifying moniker Trump, found guilty of falsifying business records to conceal hush money paid to an adult film star ahead of the 2016 presidential election, prefers when discussing Harris, a former attorney general.

It appeared again in a 12:30 a.m. post in which Trump mocked Harris' polling numbers, which he did not cite or explain.

"ABC, the home of George Slopadopolus, is not worthy of holding a Debate, of which I hope there will be many!" Trump wrote. "They try to make Crooked Joe into a brave warrior because he didn’t have the 'guts' to fight it out — He quit!"

Despite the late hour, Trump quickly saw his new nickname for Harris turned against him on his own social media site.

'Blubbering old fool' Host raises Trump 'cognitive decline' after ex-president forgets talk he had weeks prior

Donald Trump's gains with Black voters have been wiped out since Kamala Harris became the likely Democratic nominee.



New polling taken after Biden exited the race showed they overwhelmingly backed the vice president over the Republican nominee, reported Newsweek.

"[The] swift shift in support for Trump to Harris among Black voters tells you something about how fickle Trump's support was among these voters," said Costas Panagopoulos, a political science professor at Northeastern University. "Once they had a viable alternative that also happens to share their racial identity, they jumped ship from Trump almost instantly."

A poll conducted July 22 and 23, the two days after Biden dropped out, found 88 percent of Black voters backed Harris, compared to just 12 percent for Trump, who had gotten 23 support from that same sample of voters in June, while the president had gotten 73 percent support from them.

An ActiVote survey conducted between July 21 and 23 found 90 percent of Black voters backed Harris, compared to just 10 percent for the former president.

A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign attributed the shift to positive media coverage Harris has gotten since Biden dropped out and insisted the dynamics of the race had not changed.

"The honeymoon will be a manifestation of the wall-to-wall coverage," said Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio in a memo provided by the spokeswoman.

Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris broke the record for the largest Zoom meeting ever and raised more than $1 million for her presidential campaign in less than an hour Thursday night.



The Zoom fundraising event dubbed "White Women: Answer the Call" asked women nationwide to join the livestream chat and invite their contacts to support Harris, with speakers including the popstar Pink and actress Connie Britton.

At one point, organizer Shannon Watts said more than 136,000 people joined the call. As the number of people in the Zoom call grew, the platform began to crash and glitch, eventually freezing entirely and turning over to a black screen with the message, “We’ll be right back.” It soon reloaded, showing the shocked faces of the women on the virtual call.

“We weren’t kidding when we said we broke Zoom,” remarked attendee Erin Gallagher when the video chat came back online.

Later in the night, Watts posted to X, “Kamala just broke Zoom again.”

“Tonight's Zoom to support Kamala Harris is now the first EVER IN HISTORY to have over 100,000 participants,” Watts wrote.

Kamala Harris pledged to earn the votes of young people this election, as the vice-president and newly elevated presumptive Democratic nominee rides a gen Z-powered wave of online “Kamalove”

Pramila Jayapal, Seattle Rep Says ‘I Have Not Seen Anything Like This’



In a virtual address to attendees of a two-day summit in Atlanta, hosted by the liberal gen Z-led organization Voters of Tomorrow, Harris said she had been elected the first female vice-president of the United States “because young voters showed up” in 2020. She touted “historic progress” made by the Biden-Harris administration on combating gun violence and climate change, all of which she said was again “at stake this November”.

“We know young voters will be key, and we know your vote cannot be taken for granted,” she said in a pre-taped video. “It must be earned, and that is exactly what we will do.”

In the days since Joe Biden ended his presidential re-election campaign and endorsed the vice-president for November’s race against Republican nominee Donald Trump, young supporters have flooded social media with coconut tree video cuts and “brat summer” memes – a reflection of the way her candidacy has jolted a presidential race many Democrats had feared was slipping away.

On the sidelines of the summit, progressive US representative Pramila Jayapal, said the level of enthusiasm she has seen for Harris in the last six days – especially among young people – was “undeniable”.

“I have not seen anything like this,” Jayapal, chair of the Progressive caucus, which was divided over the question of whether Biden should step aside, said in an interview. “The closest was probably Barack Obama.”

Citing the Harris campaign’s record fundraising and a surge of early support, Jayapal said: “But this is even more than that – just the amount of money that’s been raised. The fact that it’s come from grassroots donors, the fact that it’s first-time donors, the volunteers, the voter registration, it has really been palpable.”
Pile of red, white and blue Kamala Harris pins.

Jayapal said Harris, who is poised to become the first woman of color to lead a major-party presidential ticket, had a unique opportunity to excite young people as well as Black and brown voters. Harris was also a strong messenger on issues that matter to young people, especially abortion rights, she said.

“On every level, including the fact that she is a prosecutor and she will prosecute the case against a convicted felon, I think this is going to be a candidate that can take us to victory,” Jayapal said.

Doug Jones, a former Alabama senator and a close ally of Biden, said Democrats were desperate to unite after a painful few weeks.

“It has moved not just with lightning speed, but with an enthusiasm that I’ve never seen,” he said in an interview at the conference. “It is extraordinary.”

A handful of new polls this week showed Democrats, with Harris at the top of the ticket, gaining a few points against Trump, with the national race against the former president now neck-and-neck.

A New York Times/Siena poll found Harris up 18 points over Trump among voters under 30, while an Axios/Generation Lab poll showed her opening a 20-point lead over the former president.

Many young people have expressed hope that Harris will distance herself from Biden’s approach to Israel’s war in Gaza.

During a meeting on Thursday, the vice-president said she implored Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire deal that would pause the fighting in Gaza and release hostages. In comments afterward, Harris emphasized Palestinian suffering while also recognizing Israel’s right to defend itself.

“We cannot look away in the face of these tragedies,” Harris said this week. “We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering. And I will not be silent.”



Jayapal, who was among the roughly 100 House Democrats who boycotted the Israeli prime minister’s address to Congress this week, said it would be “complicated” for Harris to chart her own course while still serving as vice-president.

“I know that she feels a deep empathy for Palestinians,” said Jayapal, who said she had spoken recently to Harris about the issue. Pointing to Harris’s remarks after meeting with Netanyahu this week, the Seattle Democrat said: “I think she was trying to signal that she wants to take a different course – that she wants to perhaps consider things that President Biden hadn’t considered or had decided not to do.”

Jayapal noted that it wasn’t just young people and Arab and Muslim Americans who were pushing the administration to change its approach. Black faith leaders and labor groups have also joined calls for the US to stop sending offensive military aid to Israel.

Black Journalists Plan Boycott After TRUMP Speaks at Their Convention

https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=900



Members of the National Association of Black Journalists have reportedly planned a boycott as the group agreed to host an event with former President Donald Trump and Fox News host Harris Faulkner Wednesday.




NABJ convention co-chair Karen Attiah announced she would resign after learning about the plans to have a friendly Fox News host moderate Trump at the event in Chicago.

"While my decision was influenced by a variety of factors, I was not involved or consulted with in any way with the decision to platform Trump in such a format," Attiah said.

ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott and Semafor Political Reporter Kadia Goba are slated to co-moderate the event.

KXAS reported that other members were expected to boycott. However, NABJ President Ken Lemon defended the decision to host Trump.

"We look forward to our attendees hearing from former President Trump on the critical issues our members and their audiences care about most," Lemon said. "While NABJ does not endorse political candidates as a journalism organization, we understand the serious work of our members, and welcome the opportunity for them to ask the tough questions that will provide the truthful answers Black Americans want and need to know."

In a statement, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) noted that Trump had repeatedly insulted residents during events in the Midwest.

"Every time Donald Trump visits the Midwest he tells us how much he hates it," Pritzker said Tuesday. "He called Milwaukee horrible. He called Detroit corrupt. He denigrated Chicago police.

Four people close to the process have confirmed the news to the US site.

Mr Walz, 60, a straight-talking former teacher and National Guard officer, emerged as the favourite contender of the Democrat’s Left flank, while capturing Minnesota will be key for Ms Harris.

On Monday night, Ms Harris, 59, officially became the first woman of colour to lead a major party ticket after the Democratic National Committee announced the formal voting results.

The vice-president will now hold her first public appearance with Mr Walz at a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday to kick off a five-day campaign blitz across seven battlefield states.


A Sign of Trumps' Power on Delay or Obstruction


https://www.thewrap.com/wp-content/u...1.56.53-PM.png



The equivocating of senior Republicans appears motivated by a fear of crossing Trump, the twice-impeached GOP leader who has the power to end careers in the party simply by turning against an individual lawmaker.


The positioning looks a lot like laying the groundwork for a challenge to the fairness of the 2024 election if Trump loses in November. Undermining an election even before it happens represents a grave threat to democracy.




The attempt to raise the specter of election fraud this year is especially corrosive because of the likelihood that the 2024 vote will be decided in a handful of swing states by mere thousands of ballots, that could be fixed or comtrolled, and raises the possibility of prolonged legal action by Trumps' camp that would tarnish yet another US election.

'If I Lose Minnesota, I'm Never Coming Back'

Donald Trump's long-shot hopes for winning Minnesota appear to have dimmed even further with the selection of the state's Gov. Tim Walz as Kamala Harris' running mate.

The former president has been fixated on expanding the map in November's general election, and Politico resurfaced a report from May showing that Trump remains bitter that he lost Minnesota although he campaigned there three months ago, during a break from his hush money trial, in an effort to flip the Midwestern state.

“I lose Minnesota,” he said, “I’m never coming back.”

Senior campaign advisers showed polling data to top donors in early May to argue that Minnesota and Virginia were two states that could be in play in November, but that seems even less likely with Walz joining the Democratic ticket after Harris replaced president Joe Biden and chose the governor as her vice presidential candidate.

“Minnesota is a blue state,” said Michael Brodkorb, a former deputy chair of the Minnesota Republican Party. “On a good day for Republicans, it can be a little bit of Vikings purple.”

No GOP presidential candidate has won the state since Richard Nixon in 1972, and no Republican has won a statewide race since Tim Pawlenty in 2006.

“Minnesota remains an uphill climb for any statewide Republican candidate, but President Trump has a real shot here,” Pawlenty said. “Relative levels of voter turnout and President Trump’s performance in the suburbs will decide the election here."

Trump was focused on winning Minnesota in 2020 but lost by 7 points, and Walz dismissed his 2024 chances when asked by Politico back in May.






'Unleash Hell on Earth'

https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=783


Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday sent out an apocalyptic fundraising email about Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after Vice President Kamala Harris made him her choice to be her running mate.



http://alexasteroidastrology.com/wp-...rump-hell5.jpg


Via the Washington Post's Philip Bump, the email began by saying Walz "WOULD BE THE WORST VP IN HISTORY" and then claimed that he would "Unleash HELL ON EARTH."


As if that weren't enough, the email said Walz would "rubber stamp Kamala's GREEN NEW SCAM and light TRILLIONS of dollars on fire."

In fact, there is no indication that Harris will pursue the "Green New Deal," promoted by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) back in 2020, as many Democrats for now appear happy to campaign on the carbon emissions reduction measures passed in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

The Trump email further stated that Walz has "already pulled in MILLIONS in dirty cash to buy the White House!"









US Neo-Nazi Terror Group Aims to Revive Activities Ahead of Election to HELP TRUMP

https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=690



While far-right extremists from all corners of the internet are targeting vice-president Kamala Harris as she takes the reins of the Democratic ticket, one of the longer standing US-based neo-Nazi terror groups is also attempting to continue its covert activities as the presidential election season begins in earnest.



Rinaldo Nazzaro, 51, a former Pentagon contractor and analyst at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) turned founder of the Base, wrote on his personal Telegram account that he’s seeking a stateside leader for his organization and is willing to pay them a salary of up to $1,200 a month.

The Russia-based leader, who is the subject of an FBI investigation and once called a Department of Justice “matter” by a US government official, is not known to have set foot in the US in years. With the recent surge in racially motivated riots in the United Kingdom, authorities across the west have become increasingly concerned with Russian sponsorship of far-right extremists.

The Base was considered a domestic terrorism threat in the lead up to the 2020 presidential election campaign. The group adheres to the principles of accelerationism; a hyper violent political doctrine calling on followers to hasten the collapse of society through acts of terrorism.

“You must have knowledge and experience in fieldcraft, wilderness survival, and/or small unit tactics,” he said in the post read over 500 times. Nazzaro makes it clear the “A-Team Leader,” who he says has to be 21 years old, have a valid driver’s license and a clean record, must also come with specific skills.

“Prior military experience is not required but is highly desirable,” he said. “As the team leader, your responsibilities will include recruiting, vetting, and retaining a 6-man (or possibly 12-man) A-Team; organizing, conducting, and documenting team training sessions at least once per month.”

Nazzaro claims the funding will come from a mixture of his own personal finances and monthly donations through cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Monero. He wants anywhere between six and up to 12 members in the cell, “which would mean $1200/month for the team leader.”

The call for donations isn’t a new development within the online, far-right ecosystem: NSC-131, a New England-based neo-Nazi group, founded by a former member of the Base, has claimed to have raised over $15,000 in donations via multiple crowdfunding and crypto schemes.

A 2020 Guardian investigation revealed Nazzaro had purchased several acres of undeveloped land near Republic, Washington, that he intended to use as a training ground for the Base. His latest job listing asks for a candidate who preferably lives near Republic and that land.

Nazzaro’s post calls for the leader to pay group members a stipend and to plan a meeting location in that region as a sort of paramilitary launchpad if a civil war or societal collapse does ensue.

Joshua Fisher-Birch, an analyst at the Counter Extremism Project who has kept tabs on the Base since its inception, says the group maintains several American members and that Nazzaro often talks of having poured thousands in personal finances into the group.

“Nazzaro has claimed that he has supported the accelerationist movement with over $10,000 through his ‘personal stash of crypto,’ and he has claimed that he has spent over $20,000 on the Base, not including land in Washington state he purchased,” said Fisher-Birch, who pointed out records he reviewed in the past showing Nazzaro receiving over $3,000 in Bitcoin donations.

Fisher-Birch believes accelerationist entities, unlike the louder white supremacist group Patriot Front that openly marches in public streets, are turning to more furtive activities as November approaches.

“Neo-Nazi accelerationist groups are mainly keeping a low profile,” he said. “Their focus on promoting chaos raises the possibility that they will encourage violence or commit acts of intimidation before the election.”

First appearing in 2018, the Base was already the subject of a major nationwide FBI counterterrorism investigation netting more than a dozen of its members in prison. Over the years, members of the Base have plotted an assassination in Georgia and mass shootings, while several countries designated it as an official terrorist organization alongside the likes of Islamic State.

Last week, the European Union moved to do the same, making the Base the first far-right organization to make its sanctions list. Nazzaro has admitted in the past that he and some of his family members faced US banking troubles because of those types of international designations.

Recent activities aside, the Base is a shadow of what it was following those mass arrests in the US and infiltration by both an FBI undercover and at least one anti-fascist activist.

Though it is unlikely to boast the nearly 50 members it counted at its zenith in 2020, its Telegram posts continue to show masked men posing with firearms and in paramilitary fatigues in states across the country. One image, released in April, shows three well-armed members of the group wearing tactical outfits and holding military-style rifles in Utah.

But the Base also continues to revel in its past and still uses a propaganda video showing a firing line of its members from a 2019 paramilitary training camp in rural Pennsylvania and embarrassingly, among the attendees was the anti-fascist infiltrator.

Both Nazzaro and the official Telegram account of the Base have encouraged Europeans to join.

“In 2023 and 2024, the Base posted photos of members or pictures of propaganda activity allegedly in Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Serbia, Sweden and Ukraine,” said Fisher-Birch. Last week, the Base posted an image of a new member in France.

Multiple sources in the counterterrorism field who spoke to the Guardian confirmed that Dutch and Belgian government officials were concerned about the Base and its growing presence in their respective countries, which pushed the group to be on the EU sanctions list.

Nazzaro, who is married to a Russian national and is believed to be living in St Petersburg, has long faced allegations from inside the Base and elsewhere that he is a Russian intelligence asset. In a 2020 appearance on Russian television, he tried to dispel those rumors, claiming “I’ve never had any contact with any Russian security services” and that he is a misunderstood family man.

Russian intelligence services are strongly suspected of recent destabilization operations on European soil; financing far-right extremists, sabotaging critical infrastructure and targeted killings, all in a bid to undermine the west and its support of Ukraine’s war effort.

“Nazzaro’s proposed plan to fund the organization of a group inside the US is notable in its timing and substance,” said Lucas Webber, a research fellow and an expert on global terrorism at the Soufan Center who reviewed the post.

Webber made clear the chatter surrounding Nazzaro and his links to Kremlin security services has never been fully disentangled, but his tradecraft is significant.

“While it is difficult to pin down his exact connections to the Russian government, he issued the call at a time when the US government is increasing warnings about foreign election meddling,” he said. “It also comes amidst an upsurge in suspected sabotage incidents in Europe and as French officials are concerned about a potential nexus between Russia and domestic activist and dissident groups.”

'It's Unfair': TRUMP Lashing Out at His Own Campaign Staff in Calls to Friends For Sympathy

TRUMP campaign in utter turmoil as advisors struggle to keep up with Harris's wins


''TRUMP Seems Like He's Telegraphing That He Knows He's Going to Lose'' -Secret GOP’s Plan To Overturn 2024 Election is Already Underway


MSNRAW 8 AUG 2024



https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675


Vice President Kamala Harris' ascension to the top spot on the Democratic ticket has Donald Trump snarling about his own campaign staff in calls to close allies, according to a report from the Washington Post.



As the Democrats' presidential nominee's campaign has roared to life, abetted by the selection of folksy Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the former president's own campaign now appears fractured as his inner circle seems unsure about how to go after Harris and her running mate.

Adding to the behind-the-scenes chaos is Trump himself who is furious that he now has to face the V.P. instead of Biden and is pointing fingers everywhere at the same time he is staying off the campaign trial.

"Trump now finds himself back in a dead-even contest and with new signs of strain in his orbit. In the face of new Democratic momentum, he has grown increasingly upset about Harris’s surging poll numbers and media coverage since replacing Biden on the ticket, complaining relentlessly and asking friends about how his campaign is performing, according to five people close to the campaign,"

"Friends, Mar-a-Lago members and donors have logged their concerns with Trump, who then tells them to others, according to three people close to him. U.S. Senate allies and others are trying to get Trump focused on attacking Harris."



https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/69a...jpg?width=2560


The report notes that in a recent phone call to an ally, he complained, “It’s unfair that I beat him [Joe Biden] and now I have to beat her, too."



The report goes on to note that, for the first time, Trump's campaign is back on its heels, pointing out, "It has left people close to the campaign wondering why Trump and his team seemed ill-prepared."

According to longtime GOP strategist Kevin Madden, "What’s happened in the last couple of weeks is we actually have a real race. This is a real presidential campaign. The Biden-Trump version of this was one event a week by each candidate, very rarely on the campaign trail and no real engagement.

Now this is going to be one of those campaigns where strategies matter, resources matter, time matters, and there is not much room for error.”

JD Vance and unhappy wife in Eau Claire, Wisconsin


Republican vice-presidential hopeful JD Vance lashed out at Kamala Harris and Tim Walz during a whirlwind tour of political shows on Sunday as he attempted to seize back momentum to his own faltering campaign.




The Ohio senator claimed the pairing on the Democratic presidential ticket were “uncomfortable in their own skin” over their policy positions ahead of November’s election.

He also criticized Harris and Walz for what has become an increasingly successful attack line of their own: calling Vance and Republican candidate Donald Trump “weird” for their extremist positions on policies including abortion and gun control.

“I think what it is, is two people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who aren’t comfortable in their own skin, because they’re uncomfortable with their policy positions for the American people,” Vance told anchor Dana Bash on CNN

“And so they’re name-calling instead of actually telling the American people how they’re going to make their lives better. I think that’s weird, Dana, but look, they can call me whatever they want to.”

Seemingly oblivious to Trumps fondness for belittling adversaries with juvenile name-calling of his own, Vance portrayed the “weird” line first aired by Walz as “fundamentally schoolyard bully stuff”.

Trump was reported by the New York Times to be privately insulting Vice President Kamala Harris using vulgar and sexist language, leading to widespread condemnation and speculation from experts who say such attacks could cost him a key demographic.

According to the Times, "Indeed, Trump has often been in a foul mood the past few weeks. He has ranted about Ms. Harris. He has called her 'nasty,' on 'Fox & Friends,' and c--t and a 'b----,' repeatedly, in private, according to two people who heard the remark on different occasions."

The FBI and other investigators probing the apparent hack-and-leak of Trump campaign documents, which Donald Trump has blamed on Iran

The hackers were able to compromise the personal email account of longtime Republican and Trump operative Roger Stone, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.



The hackers used access to Stone’s email account to try to break into the account of a senior Trump campaign official as part of a persistent effort to access campaign networks, one of the sources said.

The hacking incident, which occurred in June, set off a scramble in the Trump campaign, the FBI and Microsoft, which spotted the intrusion attempts, to contain the incident and to determine if there was a broader cyber threat from Iran.
“Mr. Stone was contacted about this matter by Microsoft and the FBI and continues to cooperate with both,” said Grant Smith, an attorney for the Republican operative. “Mr. Stone will have no further comment at this time.”



The FBI also briefed the Biden-Harris campaign about Iranian hackers targeting that campaign, one of the sources said.


“In July, the campaign legal and security teams were notified by the FBI that we were targeted by a foreign actor influence operation,” a Harris campaign official said in a statement on Tuesday.


“We have robust cybersecurity measures in place and are not aware of any security breaches of our systems resulting from those efforts. We remain in communication with appropriate law enforcement authorities.”

2024-Latino Group Gives Harris Its FIRST-EVER Presidential Endorsement
 
Latino Rights Group Gives Harris Its FIRST-EVER Presidential Endorsement

A major progressive Latine-led advocacy group on Thursday announced its first-ever general election presidential endorsement, for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.


MSNRAW 17 AUG 2024



https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=957



Facing the specter of draconian policies including mass deportations of undocumented immigrants under a potential second term for former U.S. President Donald Trump, a major progressive Latine-led advocacy group on Thursday announced its first-ever general election presidential endorsement, for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.


"Our democracy is at a crossroads. Former President Trump and extremist politicians have promised mass deportations, the erosion of fundamental rights, and four more years of white supremacist ideology," said Theo Oshiro, executive director of Make the Road Action, in a statement announcing the group's endorsement.


"In the face of this assault on freedom, equality, and dignity, Vice President Kamala Harris is the clear choice for voters this November," Oshiro continued. "This election is about our collective vision of what this country can become. We are working toward a future where all people have the freedom to stay with their loved ones, the freedom to transform their lives, and the freedom to thrive."

"That vision is only possible under a President Harris," he stressed. "We will fight to ensure that she is elected and will hold her accountable to deliver for immigrant and working-class communities."

Latine Americans could play a decisive role in key swing states including Nevada, where they make up nearly 1 in 5 of all voters, and Pennsylvania, where an estimated 615,000 Latine residents are eligible to vote. President Joe Biden won Nevada by fewer than 50,000 votes in 2020 and Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes.




Human rights defenders fear a second Trump term could be even more harmful to undocumented immigrants than his previous White House tenure, during which the Republican president—who launched his 2016 campaign by calling Mexicans rapists and drug dealers—enacted policies including ramped-up deportations; migrant family separation; imprisonment of children in cages; and banning people from several Muslim countries, Venezuela, and North Korea from entering the United States.


"I firmly believe this endorsement marks a pivotal moment for our membership," said Antonio Garcia of Make the Road Action Nevada. "The stakes couldn't be higher as we endorse Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate [Minnesota Gov.] Tim Walz, signifying a bold step forward."



"This election isn't merely about individuals; it's a watershed moment in history that will profoundly influence our community's future," Garcia continued. "It compels us to choose unity over division, to take a stand on the right side of history."

"Electing the first woman of colour as president of the United States fills me with immense pride, knowing my vote contributes to this historic change," he added. "More than responding to the times, being part of this movement means we are actively forging a better future.

We are committed to holding our leaders accountable, ensuring they uphold their promises to our immigrant and working-class communities."

In an effort to blunt attacks by Trump and other Republicans over what they falsely claim are the Biden administration's "open borders" policies, Harris has positioned herself as a border hawk.


The narrator of a new Harris campaign ad titled "Tougher" says that "as vice president, she backed the toughest border control bill in decades, and as president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking. Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris."

According to a YouGov-Statista Research poll published last month, immigration is the second-most important issue to U.S. voters after inflation and prices.

Last week, the League of United Latin American Citizens, the nation's largest and oldest Latine civil rights organization, endorsed Harris—the first time the group has endorsed a presidential candidate since its founding in 1929.

Harris has also been endorsed by Latine advocacy groups including Mi Familia Vota, Voto Latino, and UnidosUS Action Fund.

Another group making its first-ever presidential endorsement for Harris is the youth-led gun control campaign March for Our Lives.

TRUMP Campaign Goes HAYWIRE in Pennsylvania As He Attacks Harris AGAIN

TRUMP Quickly Broke Away From Prepared Speech to Accused VP of Being a Communist And a Fascist

NEW Stop The Steal 2024 is Already Here

The Guardian 18 AUG 2024



https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/eead4...0&dpr=1&s=none

Trump tried to reset his campaign at a rally in battleground Pennsylvania on Saturday as polls show Kamala Harris pulling ahead in key swing states.


But the former president quickly broke away from the prepared speech about economic issues to launch personal attacks on Harris including accusations that her agenda is both communist and fascist, and that she has “the laugh of a crazy person”.




Trump’s written speech before a mostly filled 8,000-seat indoor arena in Wilkes-Barre focussed on economic policy, although many of the audience left before he finished speaking. Some Republican strategists had hoped the former president could regain the initiative by zeroing in on issues on which opinion polls say voters have greater trust in Trump than the Democrats, such as inflation.

Trump attacked Harris as part of the Biden administration for the surge in prices that has hit many Americans hard and described increased household costs as “the Kamala Harris inflation tax”.

“She was there for everything,” he said in attempting to pin Biden’s policies on her.

Trump also likened Harris’s pledge on Friday to tackle high grocery costs by targeting profiteering by food corporations, and to bring down housing and prescription drug costs, to the Soviet Union’s economic system.

“In her speech yesterday, Kamala went full communist,” he said. “Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls. You saw that never worked before … It will cause rationing, hunger and skyrocketing prices.”

Trump once again veered repeatedly away from the script with rambling discourses from immigration to China and trans people, often based on outright falsehoods.

At one point, he even acknowledged that was what he was doing.



https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2...pjpg&auto=webp




“They’ll say he was rambling. I don’t ramble. I’m a really smart guy, you know, really smart. I don’t ramble. But the other day, anytime I hit too hard, they say he was rambling, rambling,” he said.




The audience, some wearing T-shirts proclaiming “I’m voting for a convicted felon” and chanting “Fight, fight, fight”, urged Trump on.

When he returned to the script, Trump attacked Harris for her previous opposition to fracking, an unpopular stance in Pennsylvania, which is a major fracker, but he will not have helped himself in the Rust belt by saying he would cut spending on infrastructure such as renewing bridges and roads, which has provided jobs in the region.

Trump also challenged Harris’s legitimacy as the Democratic presidential candidate, describing it as “a coup” against Biden.

Ed Martin, who was hired by the RNC in May, pushed to overturn Donald Trump's 2020 loss and marched outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.


The Republican National Committee has hired a prominent supporter of the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” movement, who has since fueled conspiracy theories about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, to help craft its 2024 party platform.

Ed Martin, a former chair of the Missouri Republican Party, was a major proponent of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. He gave a speech to Trump supporters in Washington on the eve of the Capitol attack, calling on “die-hard true Americans” to work until their “last breath” to “stop the steal,” according to video posted on social media.

On the morning of Jan. 6, Martin attended Trump’s speech near the White House before joining the crowd in marching to the Capitol and posting about it on social media. Capitol video surveillance footage published by House Republicans shows him arriving on the grounds at around 2:20 p.m. By that time




Trumps backers had already broken through police lines and stormed the building itself in an attempt to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s victory.

TRUMP 'Why Don't They Like Me?' Trump Unable to Believe He's Unpopular With Women as Kamala Raises $500MIL

Former President Donald Trump went off onto a lengthy tangent during his speech on crime in Michigan asserting that suburban women ought to think he's the greatest president ever.

MSNRAW 21 AUG



https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=694


This came after the MAGA leader rattled off a long list of violent sexual assaults committed by migrants and immigrants in the country unlawfully.


"So when I return to the White House, we will stop the plunder, rape, slaughter, and destruction of our American suburbs, our cities and towns," said Trump.


"And I think that women living in the suburbs, I keep hearing about the suburban woman doesn't like Trump.
Well, I think it's a fake poll, because why wouldn't they like me? I keep the suburbs safe. I stopped low-income towers from rising right alongside of their houses and I'm keeping the illegal aliens away from suburbs.

I think they like me a lot. I think it's a lot of fake polls. We've seen a lot of fake polls over the years, I was not supposed to win anything, and we won the big one, we won it, and did a lot better than the second time than I did the first."

"But women want to have safety, they want to have a strong military, they want to have a strong police force, they want to be in their house and they want to be safe," Trump continued. "They don't want to be — have people pouring into their doors, and you can't do anything about it, right?"

When Trump says he "stopped low-income towers from rising" in the suburbs, he is likely referring to his decision to suspend the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule, an Obama-era regulation that didn't mandate that suburbs build large housing projects, rather required that neighborhoods getting federal housing grants to ensure their development policies don't perpetuate racial segregation.

The Biden administration reinstated the rule shortly after Trump left office.


Trump has made similar remarks before. During a Pennsylvania campaign rally in the 2020 election, he begged suburban women to like him, saying "I saved your damn neighborhood."


The Republican Party in general has seen slipping numbers in recent years among women, and among suburban voters, which has reduced their ability to build large majorities in congressional races and made battlegrounds out of states they used to dominate, like Georgia and Arizona.

Very powerful Michelle Obamas' speech is major threat to Trump


I think Michelle Obama — as a piece of political communication, I can't think that I've seen anyone do it better than I saw her do it last night," he began. "And she's in the upper echelon of any convention speech ever been given. I think it's important that this the notion of the reluctant warrior, her credibility, people say she is one of the most popular political figures in the Democratic Party or political figures in the country."

Her credibility comes from the fact that people rightly, correctly believe that she takes the stage reluctantly because she doesn't see politics as a game, as something she wants to take partake in. She only comes out that she thinks the stakes are so high."

"And the fact that she speaks, Michelle Robinson from working-class Chicago speaks in a vernacular that is different than her husband's and different from anybody else," he continued. "The directness of her message to a lot of people in the Democratic coalition which was there is no time for fooling around here, none of this Goldilocks stuff where we have to have the perfect candidate.

Don't get precious about whether anybody has asked you enough times to go out and do what you have to do here. I'm telling you that the stakes are really high.


I need, you need, to work now. stop screwing around."

TRUMP Issues BOMBSHELL New Assault on Georgia Election.

Georgia Grand Jury Accused Trump and Others of Illegally Trying to Overturn The 2020 Presidential Election in The State. The Case Has Been 'Delayed' Ever Since

The Georgia State Election Board has been accused of voter suppression after introducing new rules before the 2024 presidential election.


TRUMP Gives Shoutout to His ‘Pitbulls,’ Georgia Republican Election Officials He Hopes Will Obstruct Results


AP 23 AUG 2024



https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...16&s=403&d=403


The changes were voted in by Republican members of the election board, while the board's two non-Republicans voted against them.


The new rules allow local officials more power to dispute election results by adopting a new ballot-counting policy.

They state that, if a result is disputed in an electoral area, all votes must be counted by hand to ensure that they match the official number of votes cast.




A year ago, a Georgia grand jury accused Trump and others of illegally trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state. The former president has denied all charges against him and repeatedly said that the case is part of a political witch hunt against him because he is the GOP presidential nominee.

The case has been delayed ever since, with no prospect of going to trial, after one of the former president's co-defendants, Michael Roman, a Trump campaign staffer and former White House aide, alleged in a court filing that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had improperly engaged in a romantic relationship with lawyer Nathan Wade, whom she had picked to lead the prosecution against Trump and 18 others.

The new rules allow local election officials to deny election certification until the dispute is resolved.

Critics say that it is being introduced so that Donald Trump can again contest the Georgia result and begin a process of disruption and delay if he loses the election.

The three Republican board members voted to adopt the new measures, while the other two members, a Democrat and an independent, voted against.

Newsweek sought email comment from the Georgia State Election Board and the Trump campaign on Wednesday.

The proposal was submitted to the board by Salleigh Grubbs, chairperson of the Cobb County Republicans.

"We have to have assurance, as Georgians, that what we see printed on our ballot is exactly accurate, and the only way to do that is by a handwritten affiliation on the precinct level," Grubbs told the board at Monday's meeting.

Voting rights organization Fair Fight said the rule changes are being introduced so that Republicans would disrupt the election if Trump loses.


"Trump and his MAGA allies have taken over the Georgia State Election Board to try and give a veneer of legality to their illegal scheme to disrupt the certification of Georgia's 2024 election results," Fair Fight CEO Lauren Groh-Wargo said in a statement.


"Many of Trump's key election denier allies and Republican Party operatives are behind these illegal, anti-freedom changes to Georgia election rules, and it's all with the goal of helping Trump win the Peach State, even if he doesn't earn a majority of Georgians' votes."

The Georgia Association of Voter Registration and Election Officials (GAVREO) also opposes the new rules.

Three days ago Republican Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr had shot down a GOP effort to reopen an investigation into repeatedly discredited claims that victory was "stolen" from former President Donald Trump in 2020.


The Georgia State Election Board, now controlled by Trump loyalists who support election fraud conspiracy theories, earlier this month attempted to order Carr to resume a previously closed investigation into Trumps 2020 loss in Fulton County.

In an official decision issued on Monday, Carr wrote that his office "is not required to conduct an investigation on its own or with outside personnel at the direction of a client" while ruling that the board "is not empowered to direct the Attorney General to conduct an investigation."

Georgias Ours to Lose: Trump and Harris Camps Zero In On Swing States

Amid close race, Harris to go on tour in Georgia as Trump surrogate insists states governor will back ex-president whether he wins or loses


Money also continues to pour in, with the Harris campaign raising $540m in five weeks a record in US presidential campaign history.


The Guardian 26 AUG



https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/3321f...0&dpr=1&s=none



As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump brace themselves for what promises to be an ugly and bruising sprint to the finishing line in November, both presidential candidates campaigns are turning their sights back on the handful of desperately close swing states where the battle is likely to be decided.


Georgia is coming into view as a critical battleground for both leaders as they struggle to gain voters? attention in an epochal election.

On Wednesday, the vice-president will travel from the White House to southern Georgia to hold her first campaign event in the state with her recently anointed running mate and former high school football coach, Minnesota governor Tim Walz.

The duo will go on a bus tour of the region, attempting to reach out to diverse voting groups including rural areas where the former president is strong, as well as suburban and urban districts in Albany and Valdosta, where large Black communities are among their target demographics. On Thursday night, Harris is scheduled to cap the tour with a rally in Savannah, where she will talk to Georgians about the stakes of this election.

The intense focus on Georgia by the Democratic campaign underlines that they are not resting on their laurels after what most commentators have agreed was a pitch-perfect convention in Chicago last week. Despite the pronounced bounce in popularity that Harris has enjoyed since she dramatically switched with Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket five weeks ago, the race remains essentially neck and neck.

The latest poll tracker by 538 for Georgia puts Trump 0.6% ahead of Harris in Georgia, with Harris on 46.0% and Trump on 46.6%. That is bang in the middle of the margin of error ? and suggests that the state is open territory for the two candidates.

In Sunday?s political talkshows, Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina who is one of Trump?s closest surrogates, underlined the importance of Georgia to Trump?s re-election hopes.

?If we don?t win Georgia, I don?t see how we get to 270,? he told CNN?s State of the Union, referring to the number of electoral college votes needed to win the presidency.

Graham added that he would be accompanying Trump to what he called a ?unity event? in Georgia soon. He predicted that if Trump played the right game in the state he would win.

?I do believe Georgia?s ours to lose. It?s really hard for Harris to tell Georgians that we?re on the right track ? they don?t believe it,? Graham said.

The problem for Graham and other top Republican advisers is that Trump frequently blatantly ignores their guidance. In his most recent trip to Georgia, Trump ranted about the state?s Republican governor Brian Kemp, whom he still blames for failing to back him in his attempt to subvert the 2020 election and whose support he now needs to prevail in November.

Graham implicitly admitted to CNN the trouble that the attack on Kemp had caused but insisted: We repaired the damage, I think, between Governor Kemp and President Trump.

?He?s going to put his ground game behind President Trump and all other Republicans in Georgia.

Three days after the Democratic convention, which went off in a blaze of red, white and blue balloons and an ecstatic response from delegates, the Harris-Walz campaign is now laser-focused on that same ground game. The key is to turn the palpable surge in energy that exploded from the Chicago convention into hard work making calls and knocking on doors in Georgia and the other six battleground states: Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The chairperson of the campaign, Jen O?Malley Dillon, released new data on Sunday which she said demonstrated the positive impact of the convention throughout the battleground states. Chicago marked the biggest week so far in Harris?s nascent pitch for the White House, she said, with volunteers signing up for almost 200,000 shifts during the week.

Money also continues to pour in, with the campaign raising $540m in five weeks ? a record in US presidential campaign history. About $82m of that was received during convention week.

O?Malley Dillon said that it was all a sign of Harris building on her momentum: ?We are taking no voters for granted and communicating relentlessly with battleground voters every single day between now and election day all the while Trump is focused on very little beyond online tantrums.?

A leading Harris surrogate, the Colorado?s Democratic governor Jared Polis, appeared on Fox News Sunday to try to convince right-leaning voters and undecided independents that they could safely back Harris. ?She?s come to the middle,? Polis said, when asked about some of the more progressive policies Harris previously espoused but has since dropped ? including a ban on fracking and Medicare for all.

Polis added: ?Shes pragmatic. Shes a tough leader. Shes the leader for the future.


Shes going to be a president for all the American people.

'Walked Into a Trap': Obama Goaded TRUMP Into Taking Harris Bait

--Former Presidents Obama and Clinton used the Democratic Convention to lay bait that lured Donald Trump into a trap

TRUMP Wants to Pull Out of 10 September Presidential Debate


The Guardian 27 AUG 2024


https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=800


Republican nominee calls ABC fake news and sows further doubt over appearance at debate with Kamala Harris

Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton used the Democratic National Convention stage to lay bait that lured Donald Trump into a trap



Harris used her speech to change tactics away from President Joe Biden?s focus on the GOP?s threat to the nation, and instead took aim at Trump for being ?an unserious man,? Stephen Collinson wrote.

The addresses by the ex-presidents in the nights before Harris closed the convention were designed to goad Trump into proving her point, he wrote.

?Her tone shift involved former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton lampooning their fellow ex-president as a figure of ridicule,? Collinson wrote.

Then Harris closed the trap with a line in her convention speech: Trump is an unserious man. But the consequences ? of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious.

In hindsight, the ex-presidents seemed to be goading Trump into a reaction that would validate the second part of Harris statement. And, as usual, he delivered, with his frantic social media posts during her speech.?

Collinson was referencing attacks from both Obama and Clinton that elicited reactions from Trump both on Truth Social in posts he made in real-time as she spoke, and in a speech he gave afterward.

Though many Trump camp insiders are reportedly urging him to stick to focusing on policy, he has proved unwilling to do that, instead continuing to trade in personal insults and complain about Democrats criticizing him, Collinson wrote.

"One reason those advisers are concerned is that the former president is walking into a trap," the columnist wrote. "Sure, Trump?s rage and revolt helped him win the 2016 election against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. But his cultivation of chaos contributed to his disastrous management of the Covid-19 pandemic, which contributed to his being booted out of office after a single term."

In a speech in Arizona Friday, the day after Harris' address, In a mocking voice, Trump said, They say to me, Sir please stick to policy, dont stick to personlity. You should be nice to people, sir.

He went on, I call them up, my geniuses, they get paid a fortune ? actually not that much ? but I call up my people and say, They are knocking the hell out of me and you say I shouldnt get personal,'" Collinson reported.

"'But I am going to do my best.'??




RUNNING SCARED -Trump Threatens to Pull Out of 10 September Presidential Debate And Blames ABC


https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/2f957...0&dpr=1&s=none


Trump calls ABC fake news and sows further doubt over appearance at debate with Kamala Harris


Trump has expressed doubt that he will participate in a scheduled televised debate with Kamala Harris next month, hurling a trademark ?fake news? slur at the network that had agreed to host it.

The former president and Republican nominee threatened to pull out of the 10 September meeting with Harris, the vice-president and Democratic nominee for Novembers election, in a post on his Truth Social network on Sunday night.

Referring to an interview on ABCs This Week earlier in the day with the host Jonathan Karl and the Republican Arkansas US senator Tom Cotton, Trump questioned the network?s fairness for the only debate that both presidential candidates had already agreed on.

?I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carls ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network Trump wrote with his usual penchant for erroneous upper case letters.

He also alluded to his ongoing defamation lawsuit against the This Week host George Stephanopoulos and the ABC network over comments the anchor made in March stating Trump had been found liable for rape instead of sexual abuse in a case brought by the New York writer E Jean Carroll.

It is not the first time that Trump, who trails Harris by seven points nationally in a new Fairleigh Dickinson University poll published on Saturday, has sowed doubt over his debate appearance.

Right now I say, why should I do a debate? Im leading in the polls. And, everybody knows her, everybody knows me, he told Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Network earlier this month after Harris replaced Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket.

He stated he had pledged instead to take part in a 4 September debate on Fox News, to which the Harris campaign did not agree, saying he would see Harris there ?or not at all, before changing his mind again.

Harris, meanwhile, seized on Trump?s wavering commitment before a lively crowd at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, last month. If you got something to say, say it to my face, she said.

Trump?s latest hesitation comes amid a reported impasse between the two presidential campaigns over the conditions of next month?s debate. Politico cited four sources on Monday claiming that negotiations had broken down over the turning off of the participants? microphones when it was not their turn to speak.

According to the report, the Harris campaign is demanding that the microphones be left hot at all times, in the apparent belief that the vice-president can make Trump lose his cool under questioning and utter something damaging or inappropriate.

Trumps campaign, meanwhile, has been pressing for them to be turned off.

We have told ABC and other networks seeking to host a possible October debate that we believe both candidates? mics should be live throughout the full broadcast,? Brian Fallon, senior adviser for communications for the Harris campaign, told Politico in a statement.


Our understanding is that Trumps handlers prefer the muted microphone because they dont think their candidate can act presidential for 90 minutes on his own.

We suspect Trumps team has not even told their boss about this dispute because it would be too embarrassing to admit they dont think he can handle himself without the benefit of a mute button.

Trump lambasted the loss of "BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT LEFT BEHIND," echoing a claim that has been fact-checked as false.

Veterans Groups Condemn Trump as 'A National Disgrace' Over Reports He Called Fallen Soldiers Losers and Suckers



Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, pulled strings to get Donald Trump into Arlington National Cemetery, amid what has become a scandal and a crisis for the ex-president's campaign to retake the White House.



Despite federal law that prohibits using the hallowed resting place of 400,000 of the nation's service members for political purposes, on Monday the Trump campaign photographed, filmed, and released video across multiple social media platforms showing the one-term president and convicted felon awaiting sentencing participating in a wreath-laying ceremony followed by him standing in a sacred section where photography is highly regulated, and standing by several headstones, grinning, in his famous "thumbs up" pose, which was widely condemned.

U.S. Dept. of the Army oversees and maintains Arlington National Cemetery. According to a Washington Post report Wednesday evening, "Pentagon officials were deeply concerned about the former president turning the visit into a campaign stop, but they also didn?t want to block him from coming, according to Defense Department officials and internal messages


NO SHAME

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GV7GBQ2W...pg&name=medium


Donald Trump has turned his highly-controversial and unlawful campaign event at Arlington National Cemetery into a campaign TikTok video, complete with background music and his remarks as the voiceover.


Arlington, the final resting place for about 400,000 of Americas service members, many of whom died in service to their country, has strict rules against using the grounds for political purposes, rules that are backed up by federal law.

Not only did the Trump campaign violate federal law, according to a statement released by Arlington, but NPR reports members of the campaign allegedly got into a verbal and PHYSICAL altercation with an Arlington official who apparently was attempting to enforce the rules.

Video from Section 60, where recently buried U.S. service members are interred, later appeared in a Trump campaign Tik Tok in which he criticizes President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival for the presidency

TRUMP Shares Posts of Gold Star Families Praising His Cemetery Visit and Blames Harris For Assassination Attempt

TRUMP accused the president and vice president of denying him sufficient Secret Service protection, echoing remarks he made on social media in July.

The Guardian 2 SEP 2024



https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/c8067...0&dpr=1&s=none



The dispute over the ceremony at Arlington national cemetery, during which Trump campaign aides allegedly shoved a cemetery worker so they could film Trump laying a wreath, contravening rules against political activity at the site, escalated after the vice-president said Saturday that Trump ?disrespected sacred ground, all for the sake of a political stunt?.



But two republican members of the ?Gold Star? families who lost relatives posted messages on Trump?s Truth Social platform Saturday saying they had invited Trump to the ceremony and criticized the Biden-Harris administration for the Afghanistan pull-out three years ago.

?Why did we want Trump there? It wasn?t to help his political campaign,? Mark Schmitz, father of Marine lance corporal Jared Schmitz, said in one video. ?We wanted a leader. That explains why you and Joe didn?t get a call.?



Trump, While Reflecting on Assassination Attempt, Puts Blame on Biden and Harris


https://cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/asse...uper-tease.jpg



Donald Trump said Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are at fault ?to a certain extent? for the attempt on his life last month in Pennsylvania, blaming them for security deficiencies even though the president and vice president have no involvement in Secret Service assignments.



?He always made it very tough for us to have the proper number of Secret Service people,? Trump said about Biden in an interview with TV personality Phil McGraw, better known as Dr. Phil.

?When this happened, people would ask, whose fault is it? I think to a certain extent it?s Biden?s fault and Harris? fault,? Trump added in the interview, which aired Tuesday. ?And I?m the opponent. Look, they were weaponizing government against me, they brought in the whole DOJ to try and get me, they weren?t too interested in my health and safety.?



Trump?s claim is entirely unfounded. The president and vice president are not involved in Secret Service assignments.

The agency, which is funded by Congress, has faced a staffing shortage for years, as NBC News recently reported. A Secret Service official told NBC News that the shortfall has resulted in denials of requests for extra personnel, but added that no such requests had been turned down for the rally where he was shot.


On Wednesday, FBI officials told reporters that Trump?s would-be assassin had searched online for information about both of the major parties? national conventions and that the former president?s July 13 rally in Pennsylvania appears to have been a ?target of opportunity.?

Trump?s comments escalate the tension in an already heated election year. Republicans have blamed the shooting on Democrats for calling Trump a threat to democracy after he has repeatedly vowed to tear through political norms and governmental systems of checks and balances.

Analysts and experts have said that the surge of violent threats against election officials is motivated by Trump?s own vengeful rhetoric toward those he perceives as enemies.

Republican Group Says Kamala Can't Be President Because This 170-Year-Old Supreme Court Decision Likens Her to a Slave


The National Federation of Republican Assemblies are attempting a gross and racist stunt.

https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload...74716a4775.jpg



https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=877

CUCKOO....



Trump set the tone in his numerous attempts to disparage Vice President Kamala Harris to keep her from the White House this November. However, his cronies have taken things a wildly racist step further.

Group also challenged right of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley to appear on Republican primary ballots


The 90-year-old National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) cited the 1857 Dred Scott Supreme Court decision to state Harris cannot run for president per the Constitution of the United States, according to The Independent.

A reminder: Dred Scott v. Sanford declared that slaves weren?t U.S. citizens and thus not protected by the federal government; it?s wildly considered one of the most reviled decisions in the history of the Supreme Court.

According to the platform and policy document from the NFRA, the way that the Constitution describes presidential requirements disqualifies Harris entirely. The group also questioned the validity of Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy running for president based on citizen requirements which state that only ?natural-born citizens? can hold the position.

The documents argued that Harris, Haley and Ramaswamy had parents who ?were not American citizens at the time of their birth.? Problem is, the Dred Scott ruling (which was overturned, by the way) has nothing to do with Harris, Haley or Ramaswamy, and the NFRA cited it for no good reason except to...maybe call Harris a slave...?

The NFRA?s true complaint is its interpretation of ?natural-born citizen? as ?a person born on American soil of parents who are both citizens of the United States at the time of the child?s birth.?

The constitution states that only natural-born citizens can be president, and Harris was born and raised in Oakland, Calif. Under their own reasoning, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other Founding Fathers wouldn?t be eligible since they were born of parents from British colonies. So...conversation over.

The tactics of the NFRA serve as justanother excuse to endorse Trump, which the group officially did back in October. In a statement to The Independent, the group?s president Alex Johnson doubled down on his attack on Harris.

?We firmly believe that faux Democrat Ms. Harris should never hold office for any of the many reasons people choose to highlight, including her party?s tactics on dividing people by race and class, which mirror those that have led nations like Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea into totalitarian regimes,? he stated.


?These policies have historically resulted in widespread suffering, economic collapse, and the erosion of individual freedoms. The Democrat Party preys on the ignorance of voters.?

TRUMP & The GOP's BIG Lie 2.0... Their Plan to Shut Down America This Fall


MSNRAW 8 SEP 2024



https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=645


COMPLETE MADNESS HAS COME...


Trump made a statement that caught the attention of political observers on social media, including actress Bette Midler.


"I better win or you're gonna have problems like we've never had.


We may have no country left," Trump said at his weekend swing-state rally. "This may be our last election. You want to know the truth? People have said that. This could be our last election."

This comment caught the attention of Midler, who is no stranger to being attacked by Trump himself.

The statement was flagged by Republican Voters against Trump, and Midler responded, saying, "Trump is threatening us, and he means it."

"If he doesn?t win, he will call for Civil War. Kamala has to win in a landslide so this pig is faced with the truth: Most Americans despise him and everything he stands for," the actress added.

Journalist Jim Stewartson said, "Wow." He also called Trump "clinically delusional."

"This is a narcissistic crisis. A total breakdown of the ego," Stewartson added. "He?s drowning in terror."

Theologian Jared Stacy, PhD also chimed in, saying, "Same rhetoric, stoking fear."

Luke Zaleski, legal affairs editor for CondNast, said, "Threats as usual."

Former GOP writer Zorek Richards said, "That's called threatening the voters."

"Outside of 1930s Germany I am not aware of that working anywhere else," Richards added.

Retired lawyer Don Frickel added, "Oh my, what drivel. I don?t know a single soul who is worried about the future of our country under Joe or Kamala.

On the other hand, we all know why real Rs are joining the Democracy Coalition. They don?t necessarily agree with all D policies, but they know the country and our democracy will be in big trouble if TFG gets another term."



TRUMPs Ominous Threat to Poll Workers


https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675


Reacting to a Donald Trump posting on Truth Social late Saturday where the former president issued a threat aimed at election poll workers, a furious Michael Steele hammered the ex-president for threatening people just trying to do their jobs.

Nonetheless he read Trump claiming, "Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny


WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again.

We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON?T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials.


Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country."



Big Lie 2.0

https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=933


Trump made good use of the propaganda technique known as the Big Lie 1.0, famously claiming that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

And now he?s preparing to use Big Lie 2.0 to shut down our government this fall, believing it?ll hurt the Biden administration and thus the Harris/Walz campaign.

That second weapon ? this Big Lie 2.0 is the false allegation of widespread ?voter fraud? in America. He intends to use it to try to bring the Biden administration to its knees in the next few weeks. And, as a bonus, if it works, he gets to prevent millions of people, particularly minorities and women, from voting.

Republicans have been using this lie to attack the heart of our democracy right out in the open ever since the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964, the year they responded by rolling out Operation Eagle Eye, yelling about nonexistent voter fraud and using it as an excuse to intimidate minority voters in the Goldwater/Johnson race.....

The facts: Trump is wrong: crime is actually down. Data from the FBI found that violent crime decreased during the Trump administration, spiking in 2020 during the pandemic, and continuing to trend downward afterwards.


Preliminary data from the FBI found that violent crime was down 6% in 2023, and 15% in the first quarter of 2024.

Violent crime decreased throughout most of Trumps presidency, according to FBI data that uses information provided by law enforcement agencies.

However, it spiked in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has trended downward since 2020 across the US, nearing pre-pandemic levels in 2022. Preliminary FBI data for 2023 shows that violent crime overall was down another 6% that year.

Though the data is preliminary, it includes numbers from 80% of the law enforcement agencies in the country.
Trump repeats a falsehood about abortion

Trump repeated one of his usual falsehoods: that abortions are taking place in the ninth month of pregnancy.

The facts: Fewer than 1% of abortions are performed past 21 weeks of pregnancy; when these abortions do take place, they often occur in medical emergencies or cases of fetal anomalies.


Trump also suggested, at multiple points, that abortions take place after birth. That would be infanticide, and it is illegal in all 50 states.


Trump Denies Involvement in Project 2025


https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/daf23...0&dpr=1&s=none

Trump denied knowledge of Project 2025, a 900-page plan for the aggressive rightwing overhaul of nearly every aspect of the federal government.

Project 2025 suggests ridding the federal ranks of many appointed roles and stacking agencies instead with more political appointees aligned with, and more beholden, to Trump?s policy prescriptions.

The facts: Though Trump has tried repeatedly to distance himself from the platform, which seeks to strip away reproductive, LGBTQ+ and voting rights, his policies align heavily with Project 2025.




As the Guardians Rachel Leingang reported: ?Trump well knows the Heritage Foundation and has spoken at their events, and [Kevin] Roberts, Heritages leader, has previously said he and Trump have talked several times. Project 2025?s authors and supporters contain a ton of former Trump administration officials.
Trump makes false claims about immigration

Donald Trump has spouted off a number of false claims about immigration. Among other allegations, he said immigrants are taking over the towns Theyre going in violently.

The facts: Thats false. Although some US cities have seen an influx of immigrants, most have arrived legally, with work permits or with authorization to stay while their cases are worked out in the courts.



There has been no widespread violence in these cities and overall, immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than the US-born according to multiple, extensive studies, including from the conservative Cato Institute.


Trump claims immigrants are eating the pets in Ohio town

Trump repeated an unsubstantiated claim that immigrants are eating pets in an Ohio town, forcing the moderator to tell him that there is no proof of that.

In Springfield, theyre eating the dogs, the people that came in, theyre eating the cats theyre eating the pets of the people that live there. And this is whats happening in our country, and its a shame, the former president said.

The story of migrants allegedly eating pets has circulated in rightwing media in recent days and been repeated by Trumps running mate JD Vance.


The facts: These are false and unsubstantiated claims.


You bring up Springfield, Ohio, and ABC News did reach out to the city manager there. He told us there have been no credible reports of specific claims of pets being harmed, injured or abused by individuals within the immigrant community,? moderator David Muir told Trump.
The Springfield News-Sun reported on Monday that police have received no reports related to pets being stolen and eaten.


Donald Trump repeated misinformation about the result of lawsuits contesting the 2020 election results.

The former president said that ?no judges looked at? lawsuits he and allies filed about irregularities in the election. ?They said we didn?t have standing. A technicality. Can you imagine a system where a person in an election doesn?t have standing? The president of the United States doesn?t have standing. That?s how we lost,? Trump said.

The facts: Thats misleading some lawsuits were dismissed due to a lack of standing meaning that those who brought the lawsuits didnt have a stake in the results. Others were decided on merit. Judges found in some cases that evidence provided was speculative, or failed to show fraud.


Trump and Harris argue over the best or worst economy

Trump boasted that the US experienced its best economy under his administration, while Harris noted that he left the US with ?the worst unemployment since the Great Depression.

The facts: Theyre both wrong Trump by a lot, and Harris by a shade.



Though unemployment spiked to its worst levels since the Great Depression in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic, it dipped back by the time Trump left office.

Meanwhile, Trumps best economy line has been the bane of fact checkers since he was in office. Best is a very vague term but by several measures, including GDP, unemployment, the trade deficit the economy was far from its peak.



Here are some final numbers from his term, compiled by FactCheck.org:

The economy lost 2.7m jobs. The unemployment rate increased by 1.7 percentage points to 6.4%.

Paychecks grew faster than inflation. Average weekly earnings for all workers were up 8.4% after inflation.

After-tax corporate profits went up and the stock market set new records. The S&P 500 index rose 67.8%.

The international trade deficit Trump promised to reduce went up. The US trade deficit in goods and services in 2020 was the highest since 2008 and increased 36.3% from 2016.

The number of people lacking health insurance rose by 3 million.
The federal debt held by the public went up, from $14.4tn to $21.6 tn.
Home prices rose 27.5%, and the homeownership rate increased 2.1 percentage points to 65.8%.


Trump Doubles Down on Claims About The Exonerated Black Central Park Five

Donald Trump doubled down on his claims that the exonerated Central Park Five Black teenagers who were arrested in connection with the rape and assault of a white female jogger in 1989 and convicted based on police-coerced confessions.

Back then, Trump called for the execution of the five children. When Kamala Harris brought up Trump?s stance, he dug in: ?They pled [sic] guilty They badly hurt a person, they killed a person, ultimately.

The facts: All of them were exonerated after a convicted murderer confessed to the crime in 2002. In 2014, they were awarded a $41m settlement.


In 1989, before any of the boys had faced trial, Trump paid a reported $85,000 to take out advertising space in four of the city?s newspapers, including the New York Times, calling for their execution.


https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/fbbef...5&dpr=1&s=none

He poisoned the minds of New York


The headline read: Bring Back The Death Penalty. Bring Back Our Police! and above his signature,


https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploa...trump_comp.gif


Trump wrote: I want to hate these black muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes. They must serve as examples so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime or an act of violence.

100+ Republican Officials Call TRUMP UNFIT To SERVE & Endorse Harris
 
More Than 100+ Republican Officials Call TRUMP UNFIT To SERVE And Endorse Harris

In recent weeks, many Republicans have crossed party lines to endorse Democratic presidential candidate


The Guardian 18 SEP 2024


https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/0f4cc...0&dpr=1&s=none


Kamala Harris has secured endorsements from Republican stalwarts like former CIA director Michael Hayden, left, and former defense secretary Chuck Hagel, right

More than 100 Republican former national security and foreign policy officials on Wednesday endorsed Kamala Harris for president in a joint letter, calling Donald Trump ?unfit to serve? another term in the White House.




Former officials from the presidential administrations of Republicans Ronald Reagan, George H W Bush, George W Bush and Donald Trump, as well as Democrats Bill Clinton and Barack Obama voiced their support for Harris, the Democratic nominee for president in this November?s election. They were joined by some former GOP members of Congress.

The letter said: ?We believe that the president of the United States must be a principled, serious, and steady leader.?


It went on: ?We expect to disagree with Kamala Harris on many domestic and foreign policy issues, but we believe that she possesses the essential qualities to serve as president and Donald Trump does not. We therefore support her election to be president.?

Among the signees were former defense secretaries William Cohen and Chuck Hagel, who served in the Clinton and Obama administrations, respectively. Others include William Webster, a former CIA and FBI director under the Reagan and first Bush administrations, as well as Michael Hayden, a former CIA and NSA director under the younger Bush and the Obama administrations.

?We firmly oppose the election of Donald Trump. As president, he promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests, and betrayed our values, democracy, and this country?s founding document,? the letter added.

Pointing to Trump?s involvement in the 6 January 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol, his ?susceptibility to flattery and manipulation? by authoritarian leaders such as Vladimir Putin of Russia and Xi Jinping of China, and ?chaotic national security decision-making?, the former officials called Trump unfit to serve again as president or in ?any office of public trust?.

The former officials also pointed to Harris?s support for Nato and Israel, as well as her commitment to signing the bipartisan border security package that Republicans blocked, and her pledge to appoint a Republican to her administration as reasons for their endorsement.

Several former Trump officials who signed the letter include Mark Harvey, a former special assistant to the president, and Elizabeth Neumann, a former assistant secretary of Homeland Security.

In recent weeks, a handful of Republicans have crossed party lines to endorse Harris, including the former Virginia representative Barbara Comstock. In an interview with CNN, Comstock explained her decision, saying: ?After January 6, after Donald Trump has refused for four years to acknowledge that he lost [the 2020 election], and his threats against democracy, I think it?s important to turn the page.?



https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=727



Other Republicans who have endorsed Harris include Alberto Gonzales, a Republican attorney general who served under the W Bush administration, the former Illinois representative Adam Kinzinger, as well as Trumps former press secretary Stephanie Grisham and communications director Anthony Scaramucci.

Robert Mueller WARNS US STILL Unprepared For Russian Election Interference
 
US STILL Unprepared For Russian Election Interference Robert Mueller Says

Former special counsel issues warning in preface to book about 2016 investigation and Trump-Moscow links


The Guardian 24 SEP 2024

https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/89a8a...0&dpr=1&s=none



The US is still not prepared for inevitable Russian attacks on its elections, the former special counsel Robert Mueller, who investigated Russian interference in 2016 and links between Donald Trump and Moscow warns

Mueller continues: As we detailed in our report, the evidence was clear that the Russian government engaged in multiple, systematic attacks designed to undermine our democracy and favor one candidate over the other.



It is evident that Americans have not learned the lessons of Russias attack on our democracy in 2016, Mueller writes in a preface to Interference: The Inside Story of Trump, Russia and the Mueller Investigation by Aaron Zebley, James Quarles and Andrew Goldstein, prosecutors who worked for Mueller from 2017 to 2019.


https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...00&height=1045



That candidate was Trump, the Republican who beat the Democrat, Hillary Clinton, for the White House.


We were not prepared then, Mueller writes, and, despite many efforts of dedicated people across the government, we are not prepared now. This threat deserves the attention of every American. Russia attacked us before and will do so again.


Zebley, Quarles and Goldstein tell the story of the Mueller investigation, from its beginnings in May 2017 after Trump fired the FBI director, James Comey, to its conclusion in March 2019 with moves by William Barr, Trumps second attorney general, to obscure and dismiss Muellers findings.

2024; DISGRACE-TRUMP/JD Vance Want to Set Up Menstrual Surveillance on Women
 
TRUMP & JD Vance Approve of States That Want to Set Up FULL Menstrual Surveillance Departments

Trump and senior adviser Jason Miller says that under a second Trump presidency, "it's going to be up to the states' whether or not they set up regimes to monitor womens pregnancies so they can prosecute them for getting out of state abortions, but he approves if they do."


MSNRAW 28 SEP 2024


https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=675




Talking Points Memo founder John Marshall commented: "Trump kingpin Jason Miller gives the thumbs up to states that want to set up full menstrual surveillance departments"

Marshall added, "JD Vance is a major Menstrual Surveillance proponent. But the Trump camp has been fairly good and at avoiding the issue. This explicit green light from Miller changes that. Walz should definitely bring this up at his debate with Johnny Donuts and Harris campaign should pounce generally."

'They Had a Headache': TRUMP Dismisses Brain Injuries of US Soldiers From Iran Strike

Iran Strike - 34 US Troops Diagnosed With Brain Injuries After Trump Dismissed Them As Headaches


TRUMP dismissed the injuries of U.S. soldiers who were caught in a 2020 missile attack by Iran on an American military installation, while he fielded questions from reporters at his latest campaign event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

MSNRAW 2 OCT 2024



https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=877

Something's Broke in Trumps Brain


According to the Pentagon, 34 US troops had been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries. The US service members suffered these injuries following the Iranian missile attack on US forces in Iraq on 8 Jan.

According to the Pentagon spokesman, 17 of the 34 troops are still under medical observation.

Earlier in the day, the former president reacted to the news of strikes on Israel by Iran, by claiming that nothing of the sort could have happened if he were still in office.



Notably, Iran did the same thing during his presidency to American troops in retaliation for a U.S. operation that assassinated Iranian general Qasem Suleimani.

When confronted with this fact by a reporter, Trump downplayed the idea that U.S. troop casualties in the incident were a big deal.

"Do you believe that you should have been tougher on Iran after they had launched ballistic missiles in 2020 on U.S. forces in Iraq, leaving more than 100 soldiers injured" asked a reporter.




"So first of all, injured. What does injured mean?" said Trump. "You mean because they had a headache. Because the bombs never hit the fort. So, just so you understand, there was nobody ever tougher on Iraq.

They had no money with me, they would have made any deal with me. I would have had a deal made within literally, I would have had a deal made within one week after the election."


The troops who were wounded in the missile strike suffered considerably more than a headache, officials have said.

According to a Pentagon report at the time, 109 troops were injured, many of whom suffered traumatic brain injuries. Despite the report, Trump has insisted, "We suffered no casualties."

?Aging, potentially senile old man?: Trumps shocking 40-minute music sway at a rally? a sign of senility?





Fulton County Judge Robert McBurney was championed Tuesday after he nixed a new rule from pro-Trump election board members that he argued would result in Georgie voter's being "silenced."


Tristen Snell, a former New York prosecutor who successfully sued Trump University, called the ruling a loss for the Republican presidential nominee and former president. "Huge victory for democracy," Snell wrote. "Huge defeat for Trumps attempts to scuttle the election."

In his ruling, McBurney found certification of election results were mandatory under Georgia law and no election board ?may refuse to certify or abstain from certifying election results under any circumstances," reported the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

?Georgia voters would be silenced,? McBurney wrote. ?Our Constitution and our election code do not allow for that to happen.?

Gabriel Sterling, conservative chief operating officer for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, heralded the decision as the right one."Great news! "Another step in keeping to guardrails in place to safeguard our elections.

Election lawyer Marc Elias described the decision as "a big defeat for election deniers in Georgia."

Carrie Levine, managing editor of the nonpartisan news outlet VoteBeat, shared the news with followers with a gentle jab at the Fulton County judge, whose ruling included a "Lord of the Rings" quotation, "You shall not pass!"

"A judge today ruled that county boards of election in Georgia must certify elections, full stop," Levine wrote. "He quoted Gandalf...so make of that what you will."

Exhausted Confused TRUMP Cancels Virtual Roundtable


Allegation references LinkedIn post saying 100 party staffers were headed to US to campaign for Harris



There is no evidence the Labour Party had made any contributions to the Democratic campaign - something that is prohibited under US law.

Donald Trumps campaign team has called for an investigation into what it claimed was "blatant foreign interference" in the election by the Labour Party.

The complaint to the US federal electoral commission claimed there had been "interference" in the "form of apparent illegal foreign national contributions made by the Labour Party of the UK" which had been "accepted" by Kamala Harris's campaign.

It references a Washington Post report that suggested "strategists linked to Britain's Labour Party have been offering advice to Kamala Harris about how to earn back disaffected voters and run a winning campaign from the centre left".

It also mentions a Telegraph report that suggested Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff, and Matthew Doyle, his director of communications, "attended a convention in Chicago and met with Ms Harris's campaign team".

But some of Mr Trumps allies have nevertheless taken issue with Labour Party staff volunteering on Ms Harris's campaign, even though this is permitted under US law as long as the said volunteers are not compensated for their work.

TRUMPs Anger Vitriol Threats-Calls Harris The Antichrist in Madison Square Rally
 
TRUMP Fills Madison Square Garden With Anger, Vitriol and Racist Threats

He Labelled Puerto Rico a Floating Island of Garbage & Called Vice President Kamala Harris The Antichrist?.


The Guardian 28 OCT 2024


https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/b44d8...none&crop=none


Marking final stretch of campaign in New York, Trump and cabal of surrogates attack Harris and mock Puerto Rico


Anger and vitriol took center stage at New Yorks Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, as Donald Trump and a cabal of campaign surrogates held a rally marked by racist comments, coarse insults, and dangerous threats about immigrants.


Nine days out from the election, Trump used the rally in New York to repeat his claim that he is fighting the enemy within and again promised to launch the largest deportation program in American history, amid incoherent ramblings about ending a phone call with a very, very important person so he could watch one of Elon Musks rockets land.

The event at Madison Square Garden, in the center of Manhattan, had drawn comparisons to an infamous Nazi rally held at the arena in 1939. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris running mate, said there was a direct parallel between the two events, and the Democratic National Committee projected images on the outside of the building on Sunday repeating claims from Trumps former chief-of-staff that Trump had praised Hitler

There was certainly a dark tone throughout the hours-long rally, with one speaker describing Puerto Rico, home to 3.2m US citizens, as an island of garbage; Tucker Carlson mocking Harris racial identity; a radio host describing Hillary Clinton as a sick bastard; and a crucifix-wielding friend of Trumps declaring that Harris is the antichrist

Incendiary devices have been set off at three ballot drop boxes. Hundreds of ballots damaged

Ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington were set on fire with incendiary devices early Monday in what authorities believe are connected incidents, police said.




The two arson incidents, which occurred near the Oregon-Washington border, are also believed to be connected to a third ballot box incident that occurred earlier this month in Vancouver, Washington, police said.

The FBI is investigating fires that were deliberately set in drop ballot boxes in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington. The sabotaging of ballots is something federal officials are warning about in a new bulletin.

Supreme Court REJECTS Republican Bid to BLOCK Provisional Ballots in Pennsylvania
 
Supreme Court REJECTS Republican Bid to BLOCK Provisional Ballots in Pennsylvania

The supreme court on Friday rejected an emergency appeal from Republicans that could have led to thousands of provisional ballots not being counted in Pennsylvania, the Associated Press reports.


AP 2 NOV 2024


https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/...1&s=1176&d=340



The justices left in place a state supreme court ruling that elections officials must count provisional ballots cast by voters whose mail-in ballots were rejected.


https://www.rawstory.com/media-libra...200&height=666



The court rejected the Republican Partys emergency request to intervene after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said voters should be able to cast provisional ballots if they failed to encase an absentee ballot in the required secrecy sleeve.


As of Thursday, about 9,000 ballots out of more than 1.6 million returned have arrived at elections offices around Pennsylvania lacking a secrecy envelope, a signature or a date, according to state records.

The high court order follows Wednesdays order permitting a GOP-backed purge of Virginia voter rolls ahead of Election Day. The Virginia order was entered over dissent from the courts three Democratic appointees.

In the Pennsylvania case, the state Supreme Court split 4-3 in upholding a lower court ruling that required the counting of provisional ballots submitted by voters who are told their mail ballots cant be counted.

?Provisional ballots exist as a failsafe to preserve access to the right to vote, the state court said, noting that such ballots can only be counted if no other ballots from a voter are counted.

?The General Assembly wrote the Election Code with the purpose of enabling citizens to exercise their right to vote, not for the purpose of creating obstacles to voting,? the state court majority said.


In a joint statement, spokespeople for the Democratic Party and Vice President Kamala Harris campaign said Republicans have been trying to make it harder for votes to count in Pennsylvania and across the country.

But the Supreme Courts decision, said Rosemary Boeglin and Michael Tyler, confirms that, for every eligible voter, the right to vote means the right to have your vote counted.


A key swing state, Pennsylvania was decided by about 80,000 votes in Joe Bidens 2020 victory over Donald Trump and by about 44,000 votes in Trumps 2016 win over Hillary Clinton. The 2024 race between Trump and Kamala Harris is also expected to be close.

Pennsylvania is the biggest presidential election battleground this year, with 19 electoral votes.
