That was a very very cold opening between the two of them. #KamalaHarris took it upon herself to walk into his space and say her name aloud. Trump was ice cold.
They shook hands, seemingly at Harris’s initiation. Harris walked over to Trump w/her arm extended to initiate a handshake. “Kamala Harris,” she said as she took Trump’s hand — perhaps a subtle way to remind him, who has deliberately mispronounced her name on numerous occasions, how to pronounce her name.
It's your Kamala v. Trump Debate Thread!
LET'S GET IT ON!!
🇺🇸 Keep smiling and grab a drink: We'll get through this together, kid 🇺🇸

Can't abandon a fellow Nazi, amirite?
"Another #Trump campaign adviser denied reports that the campaign had pushed Robinson to leave the race.
“That’s absolutely inaccurate,” Brian Hughes, a senior Trump campaign adviser, said when asked about the reports. “Fake news. Didn’t happen. Trump and the Trump campaign have had no pushing or anything else. Inaccurate.”"
Trump was up by 1.1 points in 538’s average the day after the Biden debate. Harris is up by 2.8 this morning.
We won’t see a dozen stories every day about Republicans freaking out or a zillion polls showing voters questioning Trump’s fitness for office.
This will be about the size of it.

#KamalaHarris’ victory on Tues was so clear that even #FoxNews had to accept #reality.
“Make no mistake about it: #Trump had a bad night,” Brit Hume, #FauxNews chief political analyst, said shortly after the #debate. “He lost the debate repeatedly when she baited him, something I’m sure his advisors had begged him not to do. And we heard so many of the old grievances that we’ve long thought that Trump had learned were not winners politically.”

Why Did #Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes Meet With North Macedonia’s New Prime Minister? — ProPublica
Unexplained Meeting With Balkans Leader Raises Specter of New Conflict
Devin Nunes, the former congressman who runs the company behind Truth Social, traveled to North Macedonia as former President Trump vies to once again shape U.S. foreign policy.
Sadly, the punditry is largely informed by polling but there are reasons to think it won't be that close:
*Dems' post-Dobbs overperformance in specials
*Harris's cash advantage
*The RNC outsourcing its ground game to grifters
*First-time/irregular voters not making it thru LV screens
*High turnout favors Dems
*Abortion is directly on the ballot in 2/7 swing states
*Six more weeks of Trump meltdowns
*Trump's Net faves at -9.6 vs Harris's -0.8 (538)

“New York’s high court tossed out #Trump’s appeal of the gag order in his hush money criminal case Thursday.
The #GagOrder, which remains in partial effect ahead of Trump’s sentencing, bars the former president from making public remarks about prosecutors or their families, but has a carveout allowing remarks about Judge Juan Merchan and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg” #legal
Pundits and journos want policy details from Harris because they’re looking for flaws in an otherwise flawless campaign rollout so they can have more drama.
So they say the lack of detail is a big problem and then find swing state voters who heard that and echo it back to them for new stories.
This is how a lot of sausage gets made.

"The morning after Trump repeated racist claims about Haitians in Springfield, OH, some Haitian families are keeping their children home from school for their safety...
“We’re all victims this morning,” said [one] woman, who moved to Springfield 6 years ago. “They’re attacking us in every way.”
"Tthe woman also said her cars have been vandalized twice in the middle of the night. She woke up one morning to broken windows..."

#Trump about Kimmel:
"Get that bum off the air"
We about Trump:
"Get that dumb off the chair"
Rupar will have the vid, but meantime: 1/...
#Harris: He wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military who will be loyal to him personally, one that will obey his orders, even when he tells them to break the law..
Donald #Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable. And in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and his actions.
It’s 10am on the day after restrictions on insiders selling Trump’s meme stock expired. It’s traded 43% of its average daily volume in an hour.
Regardless of whether he sells, he gave out stock to vendors and more stock to pay off debt and those people are getting their cash out while they can.
Nice call, Captain Obvious. 😁

Cdn't be more “on brand” for GOP than to invite a racist comedian to their Nazi rally, claim all the racism is “jokes,” then feign offense at u pting out their racism & calling event a Nazi rally
Only thg missing: Black & brown MAGA validators to claim the racist jokes weren't racist. But Tim Scott, Leveon Bell will b out shucking & jiving soon
..Won’t change sgl vote bc, as has bn made manifest for nearly decade: #Trump supporters are racist, that is why they vote for Trump
🚨Wait, for real? And lordy, there's tape??
Via Angry Staffer:
Oh shit.
If this is true, that could be what all the GOP has been doing preemptive damage control for.
