US Supreme Court declines to halt #Trump's sentencing in hush money case #SCOTUS #legal
In the face of new Democratic momentum, [#crybaby] #Trump has grown increasingly upset about #KamalaHarris’s surging poll numbers & #media coverage since replacing #Biden on the ticket, complaining relentlessly & asking friends about how his campaign is performing, acc/to 5 people close to the campaign….
“It’s unfair that I beat him & now I have to beat her, too,” Trump told an ally in a phone call last weekend. [um, you never “beat” Biden, dummy.]

No.
#Trump in #Wisconsin: "I'm dying to get back to do this: We will ultimately eliminate the federal Department of Education and send education back to Wisconsin and back to the states. We'll send it back to the states so that Ron Johnson can run it."
The work of #Project2025 is largely done. Under Dans, it assembled a database of more than 10,000 job candidates — already vetted for their loyalty to #Trump — who will be ready to deploy into federal agencies should he win the 2024 election.

Via Scaramucci:
#Trump is a big baby, which is why he has all that hyper-masculinity, bullying, tough-guy intimidation, enemies lists—all the stupid stuff that small-penis people have.
Via Mehdi Hassan:
If you want to understand the failure of U.S. journalism, especially the complete inadequacy of political interviews in this country, in a single short clip, here it is:
RADDATZ: What the heck did #Trump mean in saying his supporters won't have to vote again in four years?
CHRIS SUNUNU: Haha. I think that was a classic Trumpism, if you will.
RADDATZ: Ok. Let's turn to President Biden and Kamala Harris.

Here’s the scathing 46-page sanctions order against #Trump & Alina Habba issued by federal judge, Donald Middlebrooks, ordering them to pay almost $1 million dollars for the “completely frivolous, both factually and legally” lawsuit “brought in bad faith for an improper purpose.”
Judge Middlebrooks called Trump a “mastermind of strategic abuse of the judicial process.”

New preliminary data from major U.S. cities shows a sharp drop in violent crime in the first half of the year — more than 25% in some communities.
The number of homicides in the 69 reported cities fell by more than 17% during the first half of 2024 compared to the last period last year.
The drop puts a serious dent in one of #Trump's most frequently used lines of attack. https://www.axios.com/2024/08/12/violent-crime-harris-trump-election

💪🏼👠 New #Harris ad contrasts her support for policies that help the middle class with those of #Trump.
WaPo: “Ad accuses Trump of having “no plan to help the middle class — just more tax cuts for billionaires.”
The ad is part of a $50 million buy aimed at voters in battleground states leading up to the Democratic National Convention, the Harris campaign said.”
“#JackSmith asked for additional time to settle how to proceed w #Trump’s #Jan6 prosecution, asking to bump back deadlines ignited when case returned to lower court..
👉🏼By requesting 3-wk delay in filing, Smith is likely to disappoint those who have called for him to ask for an evidentiary hearing with live witness testimony ahead of the election.
It also shows that Smith’s team is still grappling with the best path forward after #SCOTUS ruled Trump is immune..” #legal

#Trump predicted he will wind up debating MVP #KamalaHarris, & suggested that campaign & FoxNews network ofcls are negotiating details.
"We'll be debating her, I guess, in the pretty near future," Trump said during a ½ hour interview on #FauxNews that focused mostly on #Harris. "It's going to be announced fairly soon, but we'll be debating her." [literally thinks he’s a king using “the royal we”]
#Trump's #Racist Attacks on #KamalaHarris Are Part of a Larger, #Unhinged Plan
Team Trump believes questioning #Harris' racial identity is smart #politics — & is behind him "100 percent," says a person close to Trump

#Democrats flip #SocialMedia *#censorship* complaints on #Musk, #GOP
#ElonMusk’s #X is facing #impartiality questions after he endorsed #Trump & the *platform* restricted pro-#Harris account.
#Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing #SocialMedia companies of “censoring” *#conservative* viewpoints & skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.

Klima des Hasses (2018)
(Hintergrund: Pittsburgh/Pennsylvania: Elf Tote bei Angriff auf Synagoge.)
I've read several pieces this AM about Trump's mutual masturbation session with Elon and I couldn't help but notice that after running thousands of stories about Biden's apparent cognitive issues, reporters don't seem to think it's even worth mentioning that 78-year-old Trump could not make words with his mouth and slurred his way through the whole two hours.
Griffin:
In North Carolina just now, #Trump laid the groundwork to question the results of the 2024 election.
"Our primary focus is not to get out the vote. It's to make sure they don't cheat. Because we have all the votes we need."
