Trump refers to Anderson Cooper as "Alison Cooper." His crowd laughs.

(He's gay, get it?)

Once again Trump brings up The Congo when talking about migrants "invading" our country.

Putin's troops have been quite active in The Congo so I am worried that Putin and Trump have set the stage for an October surprise involving violence from people that the Kremlin ships over here to cross our southern border.

Trump in Texas: "The Congo -- that's a hot place right now ... It's not even believable actually when you think ... then you have the transgender operations all over the place."

Kamala Harris on Trump calling America a garbage can: America deserves better

#USA #Russia #Musk #Putin #Trump: "Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a linchpin of U.S. space efforts, has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022.
The discussions, confirmed by several current and former U.S., European and Russian officials, touch on personal topics, business and geopolitical tensions.

At one point, Putin asked the billionaire to avoid activating his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, said two people briefed on the request.

Musk has emerged this year as a crucial supporter of Donald Trump’s election campaign, and could find a role in a Trump administration should he win.

While the U.S. and its allies have isolated Putin in recent years, Musk’s dialogue could signal re-engagement with the Russian leader, and reinforce Trump’s expressed desire to cut a deal over major fault lines such as the war in Ukraine.

At the same time, the contacts also raise potential national-security concerns among some in the current administration, given Putin’s role as one of America’s chief adversaries.

Musk has forged deep business ties with U.S. military and intelligence agencies, giving him unique visibility into some of America’s most sensitive space programs. SpaceX, which operates the Starlink service, won a $1.8 billion classified contract in 2021 and is the primary rocket launcher for the Pentagon and NASA. Musk has a security clearance that allows him access to certain classified information.

Knowledge of Musk’s Kremlin contacts appears to be a closely held secret in government. Several White House officials said they weren’t aware of them. The topic is highly sensitive, given Musk’s increasing involvement in the Trump campaign and the approaching U.S. presidential election, less than two weeks away."

The bright side of #WashingtonPost publisher #WillLewis refusing to endorse #KamalaHarris is now all ambiguity has been removed about which side #WaPo is on. Now, today, if you're not soundly on the side of #democracy, you're on the side of #fascism. The post, like the #LATimes, has told us where they stand.
As @davekarpf says, the Post's new motto should be "Obey in advance."
I regret that I had but one WaPo subscription to cancel for my country.

Didn't he also claim 29,000 at his McDonald's play date? He's developing some weird fixations.

Trump calls America a "garbage can" and claims there were 29,000 people at his speech in Vegas last night. The arena capacity is 19,000, so no.

When you cancel your Washington Post and other billionaire-compromised media subsciptions, consider replacing them with your support for outlets still performing real journalism. Local public media, ProPublica, etc.

That orange chump just said, "Putin and the whole group. Kim Jong Un. They are tough guys out there. They're tough and they're smart and they're streetwise and they're at the top of their game."

I just want my younger audience to know that not long ago relatively very few Americans would publicly praise murderous dictators and it would have ended anyone's political campaign other than the Libertarian and Green Party candidates.
