Liz Cheney said today she's going to vote for Kamala Harris. That could help with some independents.

I don't expect much from the media to press him on anything these days, even when he does take questions from non-bootlickers.
These recent events could be pursued by the media, but there's almost nothing.
- Potential $10 million bribe from Egypt.
- Hacked emails (multiple media organizations have them, but none have released them).
- The media knows more about what happened at Arlington, some might even be witnesses to what happened.
- The whole Epstein thing that came out a few weeks ago and nothing from the media. |
And this, in a nutshell, is why Trump will win.
It's reported that Trump is refusing his campaign's plea to start focusing on policy and has instead decided to spend the rest of the campaign attacking Vice President Harris to destroy her popularity and drive voters away from her; this is what that NYT article about him winning on "character" was actually about - destroying hers, not winning on his.
The media will no doubt focus on that, essentially playing along, thus it will be the Hilary Emails "Scandal" all over again.

As opposed to the dozens of other damaging stories that have come out . . . ?
Even if there is, it won't matter. The media doesn't care.

| If we really want Russia to pay for interfering in our elections, instead of sanctions we should give Ukraine all the capabilities of US weaponry and technology in amounts large enough for Ukraine to end the war and cripple Russian power for the next decade. |

In an ideal world, yes. But it’s logistically impossible, and then there are the tactical ramifications.

It appears Kamala Harris's momentum has stalled. The debate on 9/10 is a good opportunity to get some of it back.

I know this was posted before, but worthy of further discussion
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/russian-money-was-funneled-right-wing-creators-trump-media-outlet-pros-rcna169611
| Quote: | | Russian money was funneled to right-wing creators through a pro-Trump media outlet: prosecutors |
Benny Johnson was paid $7 million a year. Tim Pool was paid $400,000 a month! So if Russia was paying these stooges this much, plus whatever the rest were being paid, how much are they paying the Republican House and Senate members they own? Ron Johnson? Marge? How much are they paying Trump? |

Depends stock going up 
Jack Smith dropped a classified filing against Fake American DonOLD Trump on Wednesday. Here is a nice decrypting of the title
| Quote: | A Wednesday court notice shows that Smith filed a document titled “Government’s Classified, Ex Parte, In Camera, and Under Seal Notice Regarding Classified Discovery,” a formal way of saying the Department of Justice (DOJ) has submitted a confidential document that contains classified information in the case.
Here’s a breakdown:
Classified: The document includes sensitive or secret information that is restricted from public access for security reasons.
Ex Parte: This means the document was submitted by the government without notifying the defense. Only Judge Chutkan is informed, and the defense does not get to see it.
In Camera: Judge Chutkan will review this document privately, without the presence of either party’s lawyers.
Under Seal: The document is kept completely confidential—it cannot be accessed by the public or other parties involved in the case. |

Dave Rubin was getting paid for his nonsense too. If anyone has spent any time listening to their content, these people are obviously either paid or incredibly stupid.
This is not surprising at all that these people are paid shills. Their content sucks and they seem incredibly bad faith while they spew obvious RT talking points. With the revelations of rampant bot activity on Twitter and other social media it seems more and more obvious that without Russia propping these people up we'd never know about them. Without Russian talking points they'd have a lot less to say. |

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the X/Twitter firehose was noticeably toned down today. In my one-person, non-scientific survey, it had been reaching fever pitches the past couple weeks. This morning was a stark difference. |

| Notice today Putin also said he wants Kamala Harris to win the election. It’s no coincidence they put that complete (bleep) out today. |

At least 1/3 of elected Congressional Republicans are paid Putin shills. That group has been regurgitating Russian talking points consistently for the past 8 years (Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and on and on). The whole Burisma, Hunter Biden laptop nonsense was a Russian op from the beginning.
I'm being generous by saying it's only 1/3. It's probably much higher and the MAGA base also swallowed the pro-Russian talking points hook, line and sinker. |

| Trump has been laundering Russian money for 20 or 30 years. How they never nailed him for it is ridiculous. That's the only thing that keeps his real estate ventures generating positive revenue. Every single business venture Trump has been involved with has been a failure or a fraud or both. First his daddy bailed him out, then the mob, then the Russians. |

Here's another breaking indictment:
| Quote: | John Harwood @JohnJHarwood
"WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government has charged a Russian-born U.S. citizen and former adviser to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign with working for a sanctioned Russian state television network and laundering the proceeds."
"Indictments allege that Dimitri Simes and his wife received over $1M and a car/driver for work for Russia’s Channel 1.
"The state TV network was sanctioned by the US in 2022 over the invasion of Ukraine.
"Simes and his wife have a home in VA and are believed to be in Russia." |

Trump gets his way ahead of debate with Harris, but whines anyway
After prevailing on the debate microphone issue, Donald Trump should be pleased, but he's trying to pre-emptively delegitimize next week’s debate anyway.

Impeachment Number ONE
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_inquiry_into_Donald_Trump#Withholding_of_military_aid_and_July_25_phone_call
Trump was BLACKMAILING AN ALLY OF THE UNITED STATES demanding they create FAKE NEWS about Biden and his family OR he would not send them weapons to defend themselves against .. you guessed it DADDY PUTIN
The Ukranian President did not give in to Trumps demands and luckily a Deep State employee (one who doesn't let Presidents break the law) reported his crimes.. what if nobody reported him?
ALL FOR RUSSIA |

Sorry I missed this but the debate next week, why are some saying the rules favor Trump? Is it because their mics are muted when not speaking?
I am trying to understand why this favors Trump?
Is it because Kamala can't tell him "I am speaking"?
Please clarify.... |

If the mics are muted, Trump can't talk over her with his unhinged rants, thus he won't seem as out of control.

| Yea so the crazy is unrestrained. Otherwise his silence when Harris is speaking is going to lead to Van Jones saying stuff like “he was so restrained, and he turned a new leaf. He became president tonight.” |

Someone else will clarify better than I but I am thinking it is because
She asked to have the mics unmuted and he found a way to keep them muted?
This debate will be when that person Johnny Cash talks about in "Kamala's Gonna Cut You Down" shows up to have a talk with Trump |

The truth is that the more people see and hear Trump, the less they like him. Because they are reminded why they voted him out the first time. Plus he's much worse now than in 2020. More unhinged, more crazy, more word-salad, more obvious brain farts. Just more deranged and out-of-touch with reality.
There are videos from today where he is supposedly answering "policy" questions from a group in NYC. Every answer is long blocks of unrelated word salad pasted together that have no meaning and don't answer the question. It's crazy.
If any other politician talked this way there were political career would be over. If any CEO talked this way they would be booted out by their board.
It's lunacy.
