Trump on Daughter Ivanka: 'Is It Wrong to Be More Sexually Attracted to Your Own Daughter Than Your Wife?'
The world’s worst-kept secret may be that Donald Trump has repeatedly made gross sexual comments and observations about his daughter, Ivanka Trump. And we are talking gross.Nicole Hickman (Political Flare)

There's the running question of how #Harris could be managing to perform so badly that she can't run away with the election against such a broken candidate as #Trump.
Well, the interview last night answers the question: she's either incapable or unwilling to connect with half the country.
That interview would have been a slam dunk for a competent candidate. She blew it, providing a TON of fodder for #GOP speakers to bash her, and they're having a field day pointing it out today.
The #DemocraticParty is to blame here. By skipping consultation with their voters and instead jumping right to this obviously weak candidate, the whole country is now saddled with this mess.
Well, I guess we'll try again in four years.

Vladimir Putin desperately needs Donald Trump to win the election.
Trump is easily pliable with a compliment, admires Putin as his hero, and will hand Putin the keys to Ukraine the day he is sworn into office.
So, how does Putin help Trump?

A POINT TO PONDER...
Does Donald Trump use burner phones when he maintains contact with Vladimir Putin or is he vain enough that he doesn't care?
Trump is known for staying in contact and asking for advice and directions from Vladimir Putin, the world's most vile murderer and despot.
Putin is responsible for the deaths of more than 1,000,000 Russians and Ukrainians.

“It strains credulity that this was a simple mistake,” the group wrote. “Tom Barrett and his Campaign placed two nearly identical ads in two different newspapers within a week of each other. The ad placed in the newspaper read predominantly by Black voters has the wrong election date; while the ad placed in the newspaper not read predominantly by Black voters has the correct election date.”

A wide variety of American Christians from different denominations are speaking out against Christian nationalism, a once-fringe movement steadily gaining political power in the U.S.
Why it matters: The pushback comes as critics worry rising Christian nationalism is threatening the nation's multiracial democracy and as a record number of Americans identify as "religiously unaffiliated."

Lately I've been thinking about how the #Republican party has evolved over the last decade or so as viewed through the lens of the games that major voices in the party play.
Previous generations of #GOP speakers were proudly golfers, but lately major voices are football fans. You can hear them make that shift from talking about golf to talking about football.
Well, over the years Republicans have made this marked shift from looking to work together and build consensus to just looking to fight their opponents. And it strikes me that that's also a difference between golf and football.
The new generation of conservative speakers don't understand the realities of political systems where they have to work with others, convince others, to get things done. It's as if they are projecting philosophies from football on to their politics in ways that didn't happen previously.
And that's a shame for us all. That's how you get #Trump... and #Harris.

what i want to know is:
how does opening up federal land in say, northern nevada, supposed to help a nurse's aide afford rent in say, tampa florida?
federal land isn't parceled across cities and suburbs, where people need to live, and where the jobs are
federal land is mostly rugged deeply inaccessible wilderness and deserts
so like most #GOP plans, "make federal land available to solve housing" is bullshit, they have no solution, just something gimmicky enough to distract idiots

#crypto bros love to talk about how they're beating the SEC in the courts. the reality is actually exactly the opposite; out of some 200 cases the bros have beaten the SEC in one (#bitcoin ETFs, unfortunately, where the court forced the SEC to accept the fraudulent data the #CFTC had accepted before it was known to be fraudulent) and "won" half of another one (#Ripple / #XRP), where the part they lost resulted in one of the largest fines in SEC history.
today they lost two more big cases. they will keep losing unless (as they hope) they can bribe congress into changing the laws, which is why crypto is the industry responsible for half of all donations to the 2024 election.
