JD Vance wants us to think Alaska voters are too "busy" to read the word "incumbent" when they vote.
Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Looks like he’s reading the words directly from the teleprompter. Which would indicate he’s not ad-libbing that line. Which would indicate that the aide who wrote it in must want the GOP to lose this fall. (Also did he call it the “Hormone Strait?”)
Trump: "While oil prices are temporarily high ... the United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars"

Trump detests the free enterprise system. He believes in a Soviet-style command economy with total government control. He favors foreign trade based on bribery. He opposes competition. That's why, when a foreign country like Taiwan manufactures a product, Trump says they're "stealing" our business.
Trump: "Look, if we had smart presidents, the Taiwan problem with China wouldn't exist. Nobody would care. They stole our chip business. All of it. 100 percent."

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.
Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

Just dripping with vile racism. This is so despicable. People need to vote so hard they sprain their voting finger.
Trump: "If you call somebody from that part of the world 'Mohammed,' you're about 65% sure to get it right. So if you have any problem with names, just call the guy Mohammed, you'll probably be right."

Good timing for me to post my latest Stop the Presses newsletter just before Trump gives a speech that shows he‘s totally out of his mind.

🚨BREAKING: A top federal prosecutor in Texas began the first day of early voting with a stark message to voters: “If you violate federal election law, I will hunt you down and prosecute you. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. We’ll see you out at the polls.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.
JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Come ON!!! How many times has Elon Musk said things that turn out to be hooey

Every American media outlet should study, and seek to emulate, how the BBC has responded to another baseless lawsuit filed by Trump et al. A few days ago, a judge threatened Trump with sanctions for refusing to sit for a deposition by BBC lawyers. Could you imagine CBS doing this?
BREAKING The BBC subpoenaed Jack Smith for a deposition to defend itself against Trump's defamation lawsuit. Smith didn't object to the subpoena. Team Trump opposes. buff.ly/cf6GaG2
