MAGA is pissed at Trump allowing Mar-a-Lago to be used for Melania’s LBGTQ/Log Cabin Republican campaign event.

A source told Page Six that the event was "raising funds to inform voters in crucial swing states about President Trump's LGBT record and his goals for his second term."

"Grenell unveiled [Melania's] leadership role in what will be an unprecedented outreach initiative to gay and lesbian voters… the most significant of any Republican presidential candidate in American history," an attendee shared.

But she looks so happy

12% reporting, Haley with 31%, it doesn't appear to be a localized fluke based on that.  

He’s barely getting over 50% in the suburban PA counties

Neither MSNBC, nor CNN is even reporting about this on their websites.  

Oh well, must just be run of the mill bad news for Biden.

Just like the protest Muslim votes in the Michigan democratic primary, I assume all or most of these Haley primary voters will still be voting for Trump in the general after expressing their displeasure at the party direction. Because, still better than any D!

Alabama Senate passes measure ensuring Biden can be on ballot

The Alabama State Senate unanimously approved a measure Tuesday that would ensure President Biden can be on the state’s ballot in November, after a state elections official warned that he may miss the deadline to qualify. 

Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen (R) sent a letter to state Democratic Party Chair Randy Kelley earlier this month noting that the state’s deadline for certifying candidates to be on the general election ballot is Aug. 15, four days before the start of the Democratic National Convention where Biden will officially become the nominee. 


“If this Office has not received a valid certificate of nomination from the Democratic Party following its convention by the statutory deadline, I will be unable to certify the names of the Democratic Party’s candidates for President and Vice President for ballot preparation for the 2024 general election,” Allen said in the letter.

Kelley contacted the Democratic National Committee in response to try to figure out what to do.

The state Senate passed a bill in a 31-0 vote Tuesday to move the certification deadline back to 74 days before the election, instead of 82 days before, as state law currently requires.

ADVERTISING

The Alabama Legislature previously moved the deadline back in 2020 as a one-time fix to accommodate the date of both parties’ conventions that year.

The latest bill now heads to the state House for approval. The Alabama-based news outlet AL.com reported the legislation could receive final approval in the Legislature as soon as next week.

What a wild coincidence Abbott pulled what he pulled today.  Did not see that coming.  

Also, "terror-plagued countries and territories"?  It's a common turn of phrase by politicians I've heard/read for 25 years.  But "places"?  That's lazy, even for Trump.  "Terror-plagued Avenues and HOA's" is next.

Though the reporters are kept anonymous, I bet the story is true. Would. Not. Surprise. Me.

It always boggles my mind how the liberal intelligentsia worship the holy New York Times. When, in fact, its underlying ideology has long been to justify the US as the Judeo-Christian-Capitalist-Technology world empire builder and dominator. In the Cold War, in the Terror War, and in the emerging New Fascist Era. No doubt, it's cultural journalism is pretty much top shelf, but even that still bends the knee to the ideological narrative. The New York Times pretends to liberal and enlightened, but it is far from it.  

Oh, the NYTimes published a statement on this, and confirmed the whole thing.

Almost?  I canceled several weeks ago and my favorite part was when they asked me why.

They are on thin ice with me. I'm probably right behind you.

The TimesMachine is one of America's best historical databases as a newspaper of record for over 150 years and is a valuable research tool (seriously follow James Garfield's story from being shot until his death sometime). Being a newspaper of record in the US means that it would absolutely show the commonly accepted exceptionalism that was prevalent in the country for most of that time. An endorsement of MAGA is about the the only thing that would make me cancel.

 

Plus Cooking and The Book Review are unmatched in our digital age.

I think it’s funny how Trump uses “Junior” as an insult, and he named his kid Junior.  

That's a good point, but I'm more focused on figuring out why he places an apostrophe behind the word each time he types it.

Long and frustrating post incoming.  I am starting to really question how broken the minds of the citizens of America really are.  The link below is an article about CNN's recent polling.  Yeah, yeah, I know polling doesn't mean shit anymore and saying Trump has a lead over Biden doesn't really matter unless you are looking at the 5-6 key swing states that really matter but when you look at the way this poll reads it baffles me.  55% of poll responders feel Trumps presidency was a success while 61% say Biden's presidency thus far is a failure.  In general, 58% have an unfavorable view of Biden compared to 55% having an unfavorable view of Trump.  70% say economic conditions in the US are poor.  I mean, is the economy that bad for everyone on this board?  Every indicator shows the economy is doing great.  I would hate to see Biden's polling on the economy if we actually had a recession or shitty stock market or inflation that was still high due to Covid.  Can someone explain these types of numbers logically?  

On another note, I spent the last few days on a business golf trip with a bunch of my clients who are uber Trumpers (these aren't ignorant people but really intelligent successful guys) and they all kept telling me Biden is the real criminal and he is senile and won't live through the next term anyways, so you are just electing Kamala to be President.  I feel like while they are super smart guys, they have been brain washed by Fox News and the right-wing pundits to point where they can't think correctly when it comes to politics.  The way the media has warped the minds of the public really should be studied as a scientific experiment because it is truly amazing what has happened to the citizens of this country.  Everyone on here saw the Kristi Noem puppy killing story but I can't wait until Fox News spends the next 12 months telling its viewers that killing your dog is really good for America and a year from now you will have half the country killing their dogs and being proud of it.

Conversations like that are power plays.  They know the dynamic there is you have to kiss their ass because of business reasons.  Likely know you disagree with them. They enjoy saying that stuff in front of you because the economic leverage they have.

I get what you are saying but I don’t think that is the dynamic.  I am pretty sure they think I am a Trumper also.  I refuse to talk about politics or religion with anybody.  When I say these guys are Trumpers I mean they are showing me pictures from New Years Eve at Mar o lago with Trumps family.  What’s frustrating is I’ve known these guys and many others for years and they are really good people and have helped me many times over the years and I do consider them friends but their views with Trump and Biden are warped.

If they are maralago level trumpers, then that’s less concerning.  It’s the average joe I’m worried about.
