This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

Nothing and no one should stand between New Yorkers and their right to vote — least of all the government.
 Early voting is happening now through November 1. Election Day is November 3. See you at the polls!

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

LOL! We all know you're lying and would only do what your master Trump tells you to do like a nice poodle.

BASH: If there were 2 Democratic Dan Sullivans on the ballot and they were potentially canceling each other out, would you be filing the same lawsuit? BLANCHE: Absolutely! Of course

He's basically Trump's yappy little poodle at this point. He obviously has no self-respect.

Attorney General Todd Blanche isn't even pretending that Trump isn't directing him to file lawsuits

So now talking about Trump and maga's crimes should be an embarrassment for the journalists who report it? There is something seriously wrong with Todd Blanche. He operates like a thug who works for a mob boss instead of the American people.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

BLANCHE: You're talking about January 6. And that's so embarrassing to this network BASH: Oh, come on BLANCHE: Don't 'oh come on' me

He's admitting that we're the only ones getting screwed and the morons behind him clap.

Trump: "While oil prices are temporarily high ... the United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars"

Obama: "You got the defense sec who is like a laser focused on important matters like the jawline & testosterone level of our troops, and livestreaming executions because that's how he thinks you cultivate that manly warrior spirit. How much time do you think this man spends in front of the mirror?"

Obama: "The one thing that the current president is focused on other than home improvements is enriching himself ... we've got a US ambassador shaking down a donor to pay off her credit card bills. We learned a Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon so he paid one of Trump's lawyers $50 million"

Obama: "The guy has become billions of dollars wealthier in office. Nobody disputes this! It's just -- how do you do that when you're supposed to be looking out for you? And the worst part of it not a single Republican in Congress has done anything to stop it."

Obama: "Imagine the power duo of Abdul and Elissa. You got a Muslim man, a Jewish woman, fighting for you in the US senate. That's something, Michigan, you can be proud of!"

Classic projection

Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."

What an idiot! "Thank God you're building a ballroom"???? How does that help him and the people of Iowa? And what do bike lanes have to do with anything? How can anyone vote for this jackass??

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."

Who would want a sick unempathetic person like this to be in charge of their government and thereby, their lives?

Unearthed footage of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood abuse: "She has no vision other than to complain about what someone else did to her"

I guess he's never met Trump, the whiny little bitch who can't stop complaining and crying when anyone says "mean things" about him. Trump had all the advantages Amy Acton never had and yet she's a way better person than he'll ever hope to be.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

JD Vance: "When you're mean to Amy Acton, she sics the American media and of course the Democrat Party operatives all across the state of Ohio after you. But I think a person who is more worried about whether somebody says something mean about them, that person can never serve in the gov's mansion"

She'll fit right in with all the congressional idiots in her party.

FOX NEWS: What do you tell voters is your plan to make their lives more affordable? DARLINE GRAHAM: The long term solution is easing regulations on drilling and oil refineries. Under Democrats, gas prices are going to be permanently high

This sociopath can never be president. He has zero principles. He's basically a bot.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

Yeah, but did Carter prove he was brilliant by taking the cognitive test? 😄

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Jimmy Carter, I went to his funeral, he died a happy man. Because compared to Joe Biden, he was a brilliant brilliant president."

😆He doesn't even realize that saying it's "...a very tough test" is not something he should be admitting. Even worse, he's also admitting that he's the only one (president) that ever took a cognitive test. Everyone with a brain is laughing at him.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I've taken so many physicals and I get the best marks. There will be a time. I will let you know when the time is. Some day I won't be able to be able get out of chair, I'll say 'this is not good' ... I'm the only one that ever took a cognitive test. They have a very tough test."

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers trying to gather their autumn olive harvest. Heidi Levine, a veteran photographer for The Post, was also knocked her to the ground, kicked repeatedly and stripped of her camera and phone.

I'm trying to figure out who all those "many people" were that told her it was okay to call herself a lawyer but not an attorney and how stupid you have to be to buy it and run with it.

BREAKING NYT: Trump's new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired Friday, after less than a week on the job, according to three people familiar with the matter.

27,000 New Yorkers lost their SNAP benefits due to cruel cuts from the federal government. If you’re one of them, NYC is here to help. As of October 1st, you can re-enroll for SNAP benefits. But there are new rules. Call 718-SNAP-NOW or visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA for help re-enrolling.

The idiot who is supposed to fix healthcare has no idea of how it works and neither do the morons clapping for him to destroy everyone's healthcare plans.
