Another day, another unflattering tell-all from one of the people who knows Donald Trump best. There are some juicy excerpts here, but in case you’re short of time, the bottom line is this: Pretty much anyone who knows Trump, has worked with Trump, or has done business with Trump thinks he sucks … hard. Oh, and…

Why is NBC rewarding Trump for being too chicken to debate? And there's Bacon Masks!
Remember to tune to NBC, then switch to ABC just before the Biden debate starts. The reality now is that the Giuliani stunt was meant to coordinate with the second debate, making next week’s stunt more important before the next debate. x So the game plan for tonight is to have your tv and streaming…
Trump bluffs about being released on Monday, all he needs are tissue boxes for shoes, and jars…
Trump staves off the 25th Amendment chatter as Biden leads nationally by 14%. Lots of Twitter acting like diagnosticians, as disinformation and spin rule the day. x Team Trump wants you to believe he will be released as early as Monday for the stock market. Nothing else. — MeidasTouch.com (@MeidasTouch) October 4, 2020 And then…
The Reality of never being here before. I feel like it is 1860
Get ready people because the reality of losing our democracy is real. I said this in 2016 and people scoffed. It is a reality. The sides are lining up. Brother against brother, Mother against child, husband against wife. This may even be worse than 1860 considering the people of that era were not as connected…
Republicans jumping off the ship, stop being punked by Trump. Will it be a landslide?

Somehow Pence 'doesn't recall' being put on standby while Trump was shipped to hospital
Oleaginous theocrat Mike Pence is lyin’ for Jesus again. If he’s ever going to see Christ’s kingdom on Earth (the closest we have now is the Holy Land Experience, which is pretty much what you’d get if a horde of first century Judean Zealots found a time machine and used it to conquer Orlando), Pence…
“Anyone thrown out of a fraternity for being too into hazing is speaking at RNC tonight”
No, I’m not watching it, The Day after Tomorrow is on AMC. And the claim is that Trump is the defender of Western Civilization. Also, did you know, “Joe Biden is basically the Loch Ness Monster of the Swamp.” Anyone who’s ever been thrown out of a fraternity for being too into hazing is speaking at…
CO-Sen: HuffPost, “Cory Gardner Runs Pro-Trump Facebook Ad Being Seen Everywhere — Except In CO”
The Huffington Post reports that U.S. Senator Cory Gardner (R. CO) has been boosting a new Facebook ad touting his record being Trump lapdog.

CO-Sen: Westword, “Cory Gardner (R) Rips National Mail-in Voting Despite Being Elected By It”
From Westword: During recent interviews, Gardner has said positive things about the way Colorado has conducted mail-in voting, and he did so again, more or less, during a forum not meant for public consumption: an August 5 telephone fundraiser. But in a transcript from the event obtained by Westword, he also sought to cast doubts on a nationwide…
Sorting machines being taken from post offices! Sabotage continues …
NPR's Noel King interviewed the Iowa Postal Workers Union President, Kimberly Karol. I urge you to read the entire transcript. (It’s not long.) She has been at the USPS for over 30 years, yet she has never seen anything like this. Louis DeJoy, a Trump flunky, was appointed as postmaster general. He has numerous conflicts of interests…
KS-Sen: Kris Kobach (R), “COVID-19 numbers are being cooked to hurt Trump”
From Oliver Willis at The American Independent: Republican Senate candidate Kris Kobach claimed in mid-July that tallies of the number of people who have been died after being infected by the coronavirus are being exaggerated to hurt Donald Trump. “I believe that the numbers are being cooked. The books are being cooked,” Kobach said on…
'Bounty-gate' won't go away, Trump still claims he knew nothing after being briefed
So many hoaxes, so much evidence. Money transfers, middle-men. The issue is less about the bounty since it likely is SOP, but more that Trump has denied it. One expects that reciprocity will happen, but even SecDef Esper admitting knowing the existence of the reports is troubling, despite the (usual) Trumpian ignorance. Esper said he didn’t…
GA-Sen B: Warnock (D) Slams Loeffler (R) For Being On The Wrong Side Of History On WNBA BLM Movement
Glad to see this: A Democratic candidate for one of Georgia's U.S. Senate seats is weighing in on his opponent's stance on the Black Lives Matter movement – saying the issue is about more than just politics. “The folks at the WNBA, NASCAR, NBA and NFL are all trying to find themselves on the right…
close to the zenith of Trump derangement: Your enthusiasm is being dampened
With the latest CNN poll showing Trump nationally behind Biden by 14 points, Philip Bump does an interesting take on Trump’s need to believe his ultimate victory on the way to his bunker. Trump now has a personal pollster who is committed to telling his client what he wants to hear. Please proceed, IMPOTUS*. Trump’s…
You're not being chemically irritated, you're being pepper sprayed: distinction without difference
Making people fear the liar. It is the media framing effect of 20,000 lies. and a gas (light). x 💥💀💥AG Barr says pepper spray isn’t a chemical… BUT it is banned for use in war by Article I.5 of the CHEMICAL Weapons Convention, which bans the use of all riot control agents in warfare whether…
if it's 1312, 1348 cannot be 36 years away: Journalists are being targeted by cops
Deliberate attacks on journalists have cost at least one reporter an eye. And yet the COVID-19 pandemic remains. A number of efforts are underway to try to track the attacks on journalists, which are often first documented on Twitter. Bellingcat senior investigator Nick Watershad documented 100 incidents by 12:50 PM ET on Monday. A story on…
KY-Sen: GOP Governors Whine About Being In Amy McGrath's (D) Ad Against Moscow Mitch. Tough S***.
Boo fucking hoo: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) asked that Amy McGrath, the Kentucky Democrat challenging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for his seat this year, refrain from using his image in her advertising after she cited him in a video blitzing McConnell. “Ohioans are focused exclusively on getting through COVID-19 and getting our people back to work, and…
Trump claims he's being treated worse than Lincoln (because he's still living?)
Same poop different day, except with a large prop. “Look, I am greeted with a hostile press, the likes of which no president has ever seen,” said Trump. “The closest will be that gentleman up there,” gesturing to the statue of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial. “They always say nobody got treated worse than Lincoln….
Trump continues bogus claim of economic shutdown being more fatal than COVID-19
Trump persists in claiming that the “shutdown” will kill more people. It won’t, despite the logical fallacy of associating the current death rate with curtailing economic activity. Q Mr. President, when you talk about — back to the numbers for a second. When you talk about the numbers — the jobless claims are going…
