Looks like Corey is in his ear. Not the one that was nearly blown off, according to Eric. The good ear:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/28/us/politics/trump-truth-social-posts.html

Former President Donald J. Trump used his social-media website on Wednesday to amplify a crude remark about Vice President Kamala Harris that suggested Ms. Harris traded sexual favors to help her political career.

The post, by another user on Truth Social, was an image of Ms. Harris and Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump’s opponent in 2016. The text read: “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…”

The remark was a reference to Mrs. Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, and the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and a right-wing contention that Ms. Harris’s romantic relationship with Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco whom she dated in the mid-1990s while he was speaker of the California State Assembly, fueled her political rise.

Mr. Trump’s repost was the second time in 10 days that the former president shared content from his personal account making sexually oriented attacks on Ms. Harris. Though he has a history of making crass insults about his opponents, the reposts signal Mr. Trump’s willingness to continue to shatter longstanding norms of political speech

Again, let him do it. Surely, there are no women out there who have ever had rumors about their success in business or elsewhere be because they "slept their way to the top" and would be upset about him insinuating that is why Kamala is where she is due to that.

They don't care.

Their goal is - muddy up the election, depress Democratic enthusiasm and try to win a low turnout election.  The problem:

  • Biden isn't on the ticket anymore; therefore, Dems are super excited and enthused.  More so than the GOP.  In November 2016, GOP had the voter enthusiasm advantage, 51-48.  In October 2020, it was 70-63 in the Dems' favor. 
  • Voter engagement is the highest Gallup has ever recorded it for August of the election year.  And since Gallup has been recording it, it always increases between August and November.  Likely on pace to shatter 2004 or 2008 (84%, 81%). 
  • 8 in 10 voters have already made up their minds.  There not a lot of "new" voters for Trump to win. 
  • PA VBM requests have made it likely that 2024 is going to be on par with 2020, or even exceed it.  Also this isn't 2016 - Jill Stein isn't going to siphon off votes from Kamala at the level she did for Hillary, or RFK was doing to Biden before he dropped out. 

At this point, I think his goals are:

1. Keep the grift going.  Keep getting donations, keep siphoning off enough for future legal bills, etc.  Make as much as he can before he loses his second straight election. 

2. Hope and pray Biden or Harris takes pity on his old ass and pardons him (HA).

Back when I was living in bars, the Freddy Frats would use "fight" to mean "boxing match." My bouncer friend used "fight" to mean "I agree to a boxing match, and when you turn to walk outside, I smash a bottle on the back of your head."

Bars were fun.

I waited tables at Convict Hill Restaurant a jillion years ago.  While I was there, they instituted an AYCE fried shrimp night.  In order to have sufficient available fried shrimp to reload plates, they just kept frying batches and dumping them into a big metal bin under a heat lamp where the rest of the food orders would come up.  I'd stand there waiting on my other plates (a steak, meatloaf, whatever).....and pop fried shrimp into my mouth by the dozen.  Seriously, I'd eat probably 40 shrimp a shift every night we ran that special.

I was either never caught, or nobody who saw me gave a shit.

NO RAGRETS.

Also, "Server at Convict Hill Restaurant" hasn't ever been on any of my resumes.  Although maybe it should be.

Perhaps religious psychopaths planning to murder thousands of her fans is part of the reason Taylor Swift is hesitant to come out with a strong endorsement. I would imagine this possibility enters her mind with more shows coming up in the US and Canada.

1) Let's be clear, the reason that Austria doesn't allow its law enforcement investigatory access to text messages is because they don't want to upset all the fucking nazis still there, many of whom are involved in the current Austrian government.

2) The differences between MAGA and ISIS are a) generally, skin tone, and b) cross vs. crescent.  That's about it.

If you think MAGA wouldn't attack a Taylor Swift concert if she came out hard for Kamala, you haven't been paying attention.

Baxter’s lawsuit, which was filed Monday and obtained by The Independent, describes him as “an African-American businessman who is active in local politics.” It says he was brought on by AFP in June 2023 to work as a part-time “grassroots associate.” Baxter’s duties “consisted of canvassing neighborhoods to talk with voters about AFP-selected policy issues and driving to and from those neighborhoods,” according to the suit.

AFP agreed to pay Baxter $20 an hour for the door-knocking duties, plus an unspecified mileage reimbursement, the lawsuit states. He started on June 14, 2023, and his job performance, according to the suit, “was exemplary.”

However, the lawsuit says Baxter quickly became disenchanted with AFP.

“Early in Plaintiff’s tenure, AFP’s Deputy Director [of] Grassroots… met Plaintiff at the Oasis restaurant in downtown Ft. Myers and offered Plaintiff $500 in bribe money to provide ‘dirt’ on Cape Coral councilmember, Patty Cummings,” the suit alleges. “Plaintiff declined. AFP’s goal was to stop President Donald J. Trump from winning the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential primaries and, locally, to oppose politicians who support President Trump.”

Baxter also felt AFP was not giving him “credit for all the hours he worked and for all the doors that he knocked on,” and shorting him on his pay, the lawsuit contends. So, 12 days into the job, the suit says he raised his concerns on a phone call with his supervisor, AFP Grassroots Engagement Director Roxanne Buckels.

Buckels, who is white, according to Baxter’s suit, “then proceeded to call [him] a ‘slave’ and demanded that he confirm he is a ‘slave,’ stating as follows: ‘I know you are doing the work and I can see the doors that you are hitting on my iPad on my side. At least you are working as a slave (sarcastically) but at least you are getting paid, many slaves today do get paid, many used to never get paid. Are you a slave?’”

Baxter was “highly offended,” and “demanded to speak with Ms. Buckels’ immediate supervisor,” the lawsuit goes on. Buckels then arranged a conference call with her boss, who is also white, according to the suit, to discuss Baxter’s concerns. A few minutes later, the supervisor called back, with AFP’s state operations director on the line — a white woman, the lawsuit says — and “terminated Plaintiff’s employment without notice, effective immediately.”

The lawsuit says Baxter still has not received the wages AFP owes him, nor has he been paid back for any of his mileage. By the same token, Baxter claims in his suit that AFP paid its white employees without issue. The suit accuses AFP of race discrimination, retaliation, and wage theft, and demands back pay and legal fees, as well as exemplary, punitive, and compensatory damages “for Plaintiff’s emotional pain and suffering.”

An AFP spokesperson told The Independent, “While we do not comment on current litigation, we take all allegations of violations of the law extremely seriously and will fully investigate those made in this complaint.”

In an email, Baxter’s attorney, Jay Lechter, said, “My client simply wants justice and to ensure that this does not happen to anyone else.”

A source with direct knowledge of the situation noted that Baxter was technically working for AFP as a contractor, and said AFP was not in fact his direct employer.

Buckels did not respond to a request for comment.
