Former President Donald Trump went viral on social media after referring to Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as the "future vice president" at a rally in Tucson, Arizona, on Thursday.

"I was very happy because I got the endorsement of the vice president's family, and I got the endorsement of the vice president's brother," Trump said, in an apparent reference to Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate. The gaffe sparked confusion and a flurry of responses online.

"We have the endorsement of the brother of the future vice president," Trump added, doubling down on his mix-up. "He better not win. If he ever won, this country would be in bad shape."

A judge in Atlanta threw out three charges in the Georgia election interference case against Donald J. Trump and his allies on Thursday, saying the state did not have jurisdiction to bring them.

In a separate ruling, the judge, Scott McAfee of Fulton County Superior Court, also upheld the felony racketeering charge against Mr. Trump and the 14 other defendants in the case — the centerpiece of the indictment — calling it “facially sound and constitutionally sufficient.”

But the decision to toss three of the remaining 35 charges was a win for the defendants, who have been trying to chip away at the case. They are also seeking the disqualification of its prosecutor, Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney.

Ms. Willis’s office originally brought 41 counts against 19 defendants in August 2023. Four defendants have since pleaded guilty, and Judge McAfee previously quashed six of the charges.

Two days after suffering a comically embarrassing loss to Kamala Harris at their first presidential debate, Jeffrey Epstein patron turned twice impeached one term president turned convicted felon Donald Trump took to his failing twitter knockoff Truth Social to announce he simply can not handle the humiliation of another debate.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-harris-second-2024-presidential-debate/

Washington — Former President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he won't debate Vice President Kamala Harris again, following Tuesday night's matchup between the two in Philadelphia.

"THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" Trump said at the end of a long post on his Truth Social account. The first presidential debate was in June between Trump and President Biden.

"When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, 'I WANT A REMATCH,'" Trump wrote in his post, explaining his decision and insisting unnamed polls showed he won.

Later in the day, at a campaign stop in Tucson, Arizona, he said, "Because we've done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate. Too late anyway, the voting has already begun."

But initial polls by Reuters, YouGov and CNN showed a wide majority of voters thought Harris outperformed Trump. Most commentators and observers agreed that Harris got the upper hand in the showdown, with the vice president generally remaining on the attack while putting Trump on the defensive.

During Tuesday's debate against Kamala Harris, Trump boasted, again, about his crowd sizes and even went as far as to accuse Haitian immigrants of eating people's cats & dogs — in other words, he did exactly what Republican pollster and former strategist Frank Luntz wanted him not to, The Daily Beast reported.

Now Trump will pay for his poor performance in November, Luntz said Wednesday. “It was a pretty negative performance — pretty pessimistic, cynical, contemptuous,” he said, adding: “And I think that this will cost him, yes.”

Following the debate, polls, focus groups, and most TV commentators concluded that Harris did better during the debate, in part by successfully baiting Trump. Meanwhile, Trump seemed surprised that the ABC News moderators were interested in fact-checking his many false claims.

During the conversation with Morgan, Luntz said: “I’m trying to decide if I want to go on record, and the answer is yes: I think that he loses because of this debate performance.”

The GOP pollster added that Trump’s refusal to look at Harris during the debate will only hurt his cause, especially with women. “Donald Trump reminds women of their first husband’s divorce lawyer,” he said. “That is just absolutely disastrous.” He predicted that the full effect of the debate would be felt in polls within a week, HuffPost reported.

Of course, the former president left the debate wholeheartedly believing a completely different truth: that he beat Harris.

Later he wrote on Truth Social: “People are saying BIG WIN tonight!” He added in another post: “I thought that was my best Debate, EVER, especially since it was THREE ON ONE!”

The vice president immediately challenged the former president to another debate, which he admitted to Fox News on Wednesday morning he was now "less inclined” to take her up on.

Harris has said multiple times in the past, if elected she will confiscate guns
>but trump
bro I don't give a shit if trump eats someone's cat on the driveway of the white house like that brown woman in ohio did, I am not voting for a gun grabber
>muh third party
literally the same thing as voting dem, see what happened in bongland and frog land, both of them had the right wing vote split and ended up with communists getting control despite not winning the popular vote majority. anything short of a vote for Trump is a vote for gun confiscation.
see the first comment where I post a youtube vid of harris outright saying twice she wants confiscation.

The Secret Service said Thursday that the upcoming Jan. 6 “has been designated a National Special Security Event by the Secretary of Homeland Security.”

“The 2025 Counting and Certification of Electoral Votes in Washington, DC on Jan. 6, 2025, has been designated a National Special Security Event by the Secretary of Homeland Security,” a press release on the Department of Homeland secretary’s decision, first reported by The Washington Post, from the Secret Service said.

Almost four years ago, to halt Congress certifying the 2020 election results, supporters of former President Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. The Jan. 6, 2021, riot followed unfounded claims of election fraud in 2020 by Trump, with the former president claiming even during Tuesday’s debate against Vice President Harris that he won the 2020 election.

“National Special Security Events are events of the highest national significance,” Special Agent in Charge of the Secret Service’s Dignitary Protective Division Eric Ranaghan said in a statement in the release. “The U.S. Secret Service, in collaboration with our federal, state, and local partners are committed to developing and implementing a comprehensive and integrated security plan to ensure the safety and security of this event and its participants.”

The former president, alongside his supporters, has previously attempted to paint the attack on the Capitol in 2021 as peaceful, but over 140 officers faced injury, and five died shortly following the riots.

Last January, President Biden and Harris denounced the Jan. 6 riots on their third anniversary in posts on the social platform Twitter

>SHANKSVILLE, Pa. (TND) — President Joe Biden briefly wore a “Trump 2024” hat while visiting the Shanksville, Pa. Volunteer Fire Department on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates wrote on social media Biden had shared a message recallingthe “bipartisan unity” in post-9/11 America. He then called for Americas to return to this spirit with the approach of the election.

“As a gesture, [Biden] gave a hat to a Trump supporter who then said that in the same spirit, POTUS should put on his Trump cap,” Bates wrote. “He briefly wore it.”

The Trump campaign quickly seized on a picture from the event, writing “thanks for the support, Joe!”

“Kamala did so bad in last night's debate, Joe Biden just put on a Trump hat,” the campaign wrote in a separate post. A video of Biden putting on the hat spread quickly on social media.

Stephen Millers shitty shill attempts remind me of some schizos on this board

On Tuesday night, following the long-awaited debate between former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump advisor Stephen Miller stood in front of a group of reporters to answer some questions.

After Miller asserted to the press gaggle that the crime rate in Venezuela is down by "a little bit over 60 percent over the last several years," Nuestra Tele Noticias 24 (NTN24) journalist José María Del Pino asked the former White House immigration adviser a (fairly simple) question.

"Are you trusting the official figures from the Venezuelan dictatorship?" Del Pino asked Miller, as shown in a video posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).

"Let's put it this way: If you're a dictator of a poor country with a high crime rate, wouldn't you send your criminals to our open border?"

"That wasn't my question," the reporter replied. "Are you trusting the figures of the dictatorship?"

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/sep/11/august-inflation

Price growth continued to soften in the US last month, falling to its lowest level since February 2021 as the Federal Reserve prepares to cut interest rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

As inflation continues to fade, the consumer price index rose at an annual rate of 2.5% in August – down from 2.9% in July, and below the 2.6% expected by economists.

On a month-to-month basis, the index rose 0.2% last month, in line with its rate of growth during July.

The so-called “core” CPI reading, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, came in higher than economists expected, rising 0.3% in August. This measure is closely monitored by the policymakers tasked with steering the US economy.

With inflation falling, but many Americans still grappling with higher prices, the US economy is at a crossroads. With two months left before tens of millions of US voters head to the polls, the cost of living has been a key issue on the presidential election campaign trail.

In spring 2022, having insisted that a sharp rise in inflation was a “transitory” effect of the economic disruption wrought by Covid-19, the Fed engineered an extraordinary U-turn and embarked upon a round of hikes that would ultimately lift interest rates from close to zero to a two-decade high.

Global superstar Taylor Swift on Tuesday announced her support for Kamala Harris' presidential campaign in a highly anticipated endorsement that could energize millions of so-called Swifties.

The “Fortnight” singer endorsed the Democratic nominee in a post on Instagram moments after Harris' first debate with Donald Trump wrapped up.

"Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight," Swift wrote. "If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."

She continued:

>I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.

She signed the post “childless cat lady,” a clear reference to controversial remarks from Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance.

Trump's not beating those observations that he's a fascist with his latest attack on the 1st amendment and free press

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-demands-abc-be-shut-down-for-daring-to-fact-check-debate

Donald Trump called for ABC News to be shut down during a rant about the way he was treated by the network during his presidential debate against Kamala Harris.

The former president called into Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning to complain that he’d faced a “rigged deal” with the debate, with moderators “correcting everything” he said while “not correcting with her.” Asked why he felt moderators hadn’t corrected Harris in the same way, Trump answered: “Because they’re dishonest.”

“I think ABC took a big hit last night,” he continued. “To be honest, they’re a news organization—they have to be licensed to do it. They ought to take away their license for the way they did that.”

Trump used the interview to repeatedly complain that the debate was “three-to-one,” meaning he felt that moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis were on Harris’ side against him.

“The press is so dishonest in this country, it’s amazing,” Trump said. “Now, I didn’t mind because frankly I was pretty sure that’s what they would do. CNN was much more honorable—the debate we had with Biden was a much more honorably run debate.”

The CNN moderators in June notably did not fact-check or question statements made by Trump or Biden during that event, as per agreed rules.

PHOENIX — Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer is taking on Elon Musk after the owner of X, formerly known as Twitter, amplified disinformation about Arizona elections for his 200 million social media followers.
"Give us a chance, please," Richer said on this weekend's "Sunday Square Off."
"Before posting this, ask. I would love to explain some of these processes so that he could use his immense microphone to share accurate information."
Late last week, Musk asked this question in a retweet: "Arizona is refusing to remove illegals from voter rolls?" That post got 38 million views.
In response to a post declaring, "They are doing everything they can to cheat in the swing states," Musk said: "Absolutely."
Richer responded with a "Hi Elon Musk" post that concluded: "On every previous post you've made about Arizona elections (all of which have been wrong, but you've never corrected any of them), I've offered my office as a resource."
