A memo has leaked from the Trump campaign warning staff not to leak to the press. That went well. Steve Thomas

Oswald freely admitted to possessing the Hidell card, but either denied, or refused to admit that the signature on the card was his. I have yet to figure that one out. Steve Thomas

I'll bet you didn't know that did you? - Donald Trump - “The transgender thing is incredible, Think of it; your kid goes to school, and he comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child.” Schools are coming equipped with operating rooms and surgeons now. And if you pack your kid a lunch for school and send him off on the bus, and he doesn't come back until “a few days later”, don't worry about it. It's just the school forcing him to undergo a sex change operation. Steve Thomas

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/sep/03/california-hydrogen-powered-train-air-quality-solution "There’s a new train pulling into the station in San Bernardino, a southern California city about 60 miles from Los Angeles. From the outside, it looks like any other commuter train, with three passenger carriages, blocky windows and a colourful blue exterior. But inside, it’s unlike anything the region – or the country – has seen before. The $20m Zero-Emission Multiple Unit, known as Zemu, uses a hybrid hydrogen fuel cell and battery system to propel the train and run other onboard electrical systems. The only byproduct of the fuel cell is water vapour, a welcome change in an area known as the Inland Empire that suffers from some of the worst air quality rates in the country. The new technology will make Zemu the first hydrogen-powered, zero-emissions passenger train in North America to meet Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) requirements when it goes into service early next year" Steve Thomas

Someone else suggested this and I just howled. For their debate on September 10th, Kamala Harris should show up dressed in dominatrix attire. Steve Thomas

Donald Trump - "I want to thank the families of our Great Warriors who have been lost to us for the way they came together as one, and thanked me for attending, at their request, the Celebration of their wonderful family members who, because of the Incompetence of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, are no longer with us. Thank you for saying you wanted me to stand with you at Arlington National Ceremony, and take pictures, that it was your request, not mine, but it was my Great Honor to do so." And, it was your fault that my campaign committee put together a political campaign video of my visit, and it was your fault that they put that video on my TikTok page. And I know I was told ahead of time that that kind of stuff was illegal, but you should have known better. Steve Thomas

J.D. Vance said of his female classmates at Yale Law School, that they were, - "pursuing racial or gender equity is like the value system that gives their life meaning … [but] they all find that that value system leads to misery”. Racial and gender equality leads to misery? That's the language of slave owners. Steve Thomas

When I was a young boy, my father told me that Joe McCarthy made a big mistake. As long as he was harassing the State Department and the Administration, he could pretty well run roughshod over anybody he wanted. But, he made a mistake and took on the Army and they ran right over him and destroyed his career. Trump has made a mistake... Steve Thomas

The follow8ng musicians have demanded that Donald Trump stop using their music in his political campaign. We should keep a running tally: ABBA Céline Dion Beyoncé Foo Fighters Johnny Marr Adele Aerosmith Guns N’ Roses Sinead O'Connor Isaac Hayes Steve Thomas

Grand Jury Indicts Trump Again for J6: If He Loses ‘He’s Going to Jail,’ Expert Predicts By David Badash August 27, 2024 https://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/2024/08/grand-jury-indicts-trump-again-for-j6-if-he-loses-hes-going-to-jail-expert-predicts/ “A Washington, D.C. grand jury has handed up a superseding indictment against Donald Trump in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of the ex-president for election subversion. The indictment, legal experts say, is in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling granting presidents broad immunity for official acts, and appears to remove any narratives or evidence that might be construed as falling under that grant.” “Effectively, even without the evidence the Supreme Court might have said falls under its new presidential immunity definition, a new grand jury reached the same conclusion as the original one did on which charges to approve.” Two different grand juries, same conclusion. How many trials, grand juries, indictments, fines are we going to have endure before this orange clown gets fitted for the matching orange jumpsuit he so richly deserves? I just thought of that. You won't be able to see him. He'll be in camouflage, kind of like a sniper in a ghillie suit. Steve Thomas

Cemetery official declined to press charges fearing retaliation from Trump fans: Haberman By Daniel Hampton August 28, 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/arlington-cemetery-donald-trump-2669094457/ “An official at Arlington National Cemetery who filed an incident report over a reported dust-up with staffers of the Trump campaign declined to press charges because she feared MAGA supporters may come after her.” This is mob stuff. And at some point, we, as a society, are going to have to confront it in an organized way. Steve Thomas

W, Did you run into a shortage this last winter? My wife was on Metformin and later, Jardiance and when people found out they could use it as a weight-loss drug, people started flocking to it. Supplies were short and the prices skyrocketed. She was finally able to get a line on some Ozempic, but has been having a hard time getting it regulated. Steve Thomas

Donald Trump - “(Mark) Zuckerberg admits that the White House pushed to SUPPRESS HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY (& much more!). IN OTHER WORDS, THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED.” “This is what everyone’s been waiting for — THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED!" This is horrible, terrible news. Let's find out who was the President in charge of the White House in 2020 and hold them responsible! Steve Thomas

MAGA attacks on Kamala Harris' stepdaughter threaten to backfire on Donald Trump By Amanda Marcotte https://www.salon.com/2024/08/27/maga-on-kamala-harris-stepdaughter-threaten-to-backfire-on-donald/ There's a real downside to courting the incel vote. “They want to win over the worst men in the nation by appealing directly to their controlling, misogynist desires. In the process, however, they're creeping everyone else out.” Steve Thomas

Donald Trump went for years, if not decades, thinking he could do to women whatever the hell he wanted. Now, it's the strong women in this country who will bring him down: Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Tanya Chutkin, Letitia James, Hillary Clinton, E. Jean Carroll, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Taylor Swift, the list goes on. Payback's a bitch. Steve Thomas

'Country far before party': Hundreds of alumni of major GOP figures endorse Harris By Daniel Hampton August 26, 2024 https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-2669074373/ “Over 200 Republicans who worked for former GOP presidential candidates and a president turned on their party and endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, according to a report. The Republicans wrote in an open letter, obtained by USA Today on Monday, that in 2020, alumni of former President George W. Bush, the late Sen. John McCain and then-Gov. Mitt Romney joined forces to "warn fellow Republicans that re-electing President [Donald] Trump would be a disaster for the nation." "The group reunited this week, joined by alumni of former President George H.W. Bush, to "reinforce" its 2020 position — and declare "for the first time" that they're voting for Harris and vice presidential nominee Tim Walz in November." "The group specifically called on moderate Republicans and conservative independents in battleground states to "take a brave stand once more" and join them in putting "country far before party."" It looks like it is finally happening. Steve Thomas

- Donald Trump - "Think of it, America, Pocahontas, sometimes referred to as Elizabeth Warren, is considered far more Conservative in the U.S. Senate than Comrade Kamala Harris ever was," Trump wrote. "Is this really what we want to be President of the United States?" "Her mother told her she had 'high cheekbones,' and therefore she was Indian, who would use this hoax on applications everywhere," Who in God's name, told Donald Trump that publicly hurling racist insults at people was a winning formula? Oh, and Psst... Elizabeth Warren is not running for President. Steve Thomas

uh huh. Steve Thomas

Congratulations!

Republican Senator, Lindsey Graham - People are hurting, and this whole joy love fest doesn’t exist in the real world.” Republican Strategist, Scott Jennings - "People don't want to feel joy.” Republicans want people to be miserable. They need people to be miserable. Steve Thomas

Donald Trump is having a rally down in Arizona. Other people are also running for office, and he's having a hard time getting them to get off the stage. One guy is running for police chief somewhere, and Trump finally had to walk up on the stage and tell the guy, "You gotta go." Look at the teleprompter in this photo of Kari Lake: Notice the time stamp. https://x.com/RubenGallego/status/1827188357312528778 They just don't respect him like they used to. Steve Thomas

- CNN Commentator, Van Jones - "This is the year in which he (Trump) got indicted, convicted, and shot at—and actually hit—by a bullet and none of that to him is as bad as possibly not getting as much attention as Kamala.Harris" Steve Thomas

Is Trump OK? Unhinged reaction to rise of Harris worries supporters https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/24/donald-trump-mental-fitness-campaign "Trump compared her (Kamala Harris) appearance to Sophia Loren and his wife, Melania, before drawing a comparison with his own features. “I’m a better-looking person than Kamala,” he declared to an audience of thousands who were more amused than convinced. Melania’s reaction to her husband’s implicit claim that he is better-looking than his wife is not known." i heard that JFK, Jr. had a brain worm, but that he's OK now. It starved to death.

Afghanistan's new Vice and Virtue Laws https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-taliban-vice-virtue-laws-women-9626c24d8d5450d52d36356ebff20c83 Article 13 relates to women. It says it is mandatory for a woman to veil her body at all times in public and that a face covering is essential to avoid temptation and tempting others. Clothing should not be thin, tight or short. Women are obliged to cover themselves in front of non-Muslim males and females to avoid being corrupted. A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is forbidden for women to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa. I weep. Steve Thomas

I'm not too concerned about Trump's rage tweeting. It's just his attempt to dominate the news cycle by getting on-air and staying there. We've seen it oh so many times before. He just starts talking and won't stop. It's pathetic and in the end, fruitless. People just start tuning him out and walking out of his rallies, etc.. Steve Thomas
