Partial win for GOP concerning AZ election laws. Supreme Court rejects GOP push to block 41K Arizona voters, but partly OKs proof of citizenship law
Foo Fighters will donate to Harris because Trump used their music without permirrion. Trump is known for using copyrighted music without permission at his rallies. Foo Fighters say they did not OK Trump using "My Hero" at Arizona rally, will donate royalties to Harris-Walz campaign - CBS News excerpt: "On Aug. 11, lawyers for the Isaac Hayes estate threatened to sue Trump if his campaign did not stop using the late soul singer's song "Hold On, I'm Coming" at his rallies. A letter shared on social media from Hayes' family demanded $3 million in licensing fees for the use of the song at Trump's campaign events since 2022. According to Hayes' family, the song has been played 134 times by the Trump campaign in the last two years."
Harris has raised $540 million over the last month. Election Updates: Harris Sees Donations Rise, Vance Defends Trump’s Tariffs
Harris has a boost compared with Hillary in 2016. Trump took away federal protection of women's reproductive rights, and Trump said he is proud of it. Trump is now stuck trying to make it sound like he's for women's rights by having Vance say that Trump would veto potential bills in the future that would place a federal ban on abortion.
Trump can't have the reproductive rights issue both ways. Women know he is responsible for Roe v. Wade being overturned. Women in 2016 didn't have to grapple with this issue. Most probably didn't think it would happen.
The same Trump who is warning about a supposed upcoming nuclear WWIII made boneheaded remarks while president about actions he wanted to take that could start WWIII, only to be held back by the few in his administration who were rational and disciplined (the ones who won't be there if Trump wins a second term). https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/25/politics/mcmaster-trump-book-account/index.html excerpt: Meanwhile, Trump would say “outlandish” things like, “Why don’t we just bomb the drugs?” in Mexico or, “Why don’t we take out the whole North Korean Army during one of their parades?”
Trump suggests he might not attend debate with Harris at ABC. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/26/trump-harris-debate-abc/ excerpt: “I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s (K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?” Trump asked in a social media post Sunday evening.
Trump is calling Walz 'Tampon Tim'. Trump should use that name for himself. Tampon Trump. He and his followers looked like they had a Maxi Pad on their ears after the assassination attempt. Image edited to show an AR-15 emblem. Trump and his supporters should have placed the AR-15 emblem on every ear bandage. They were supportive of the AR-15 before Trump was nearly assassinated by one, so much that GOP members of Congress were wearing lapel pins of an AR-15. image:

Trump apparently is upset that Gov. Walz of MN signed a bill into law that required schools to have tampons available to students. Apparently, he's upset that the bill used the word 'students' instead of 'girls' or 'women'. That's not sufficiently gender-specific for Trump, so he's claiming that Walz wants tampons for boys too.

He talks about bombing NK and Mexico. He also had ideas about invading Iran and requested plans from the Pentagon.. Trump apparently kept the Pentagon battle plans to invade Iran and had them at his resort in NJ. An audio recording during a session about writing Meadows' book contained remarks by Trump about looking at what apparently were the battle plans. He told someone at the session to not get too close because they were classified. Trump admitted he didn't declassify them when he was president and said that now it is too late. Meadows has been indicted in GA and AZ for assisting Trump in trying to steal the 2020 election from the American people. He cut a deal with federal investigators so that he wouldn't be indicted by them. It's the opposite of Trump's public alibis that he declassified them by simply thinking about it or that they became his property when he took them from the White House at the end of his term. Judge Cannon threw out the entire federal documents case against Trump in July 2024.
Ahead of his 2024 debate with Biden, Trump visited Black barbershop in Atlanta (the city where he had been arrested and booked).. Trump's a convicted felon in NY (34 counts) and he's bragging that people should vote for him because of his fantastic mugshot in GA that he says is better than Elvis and Sinatra.. https://jackson.binnews.com/content...-trumps-visit-to-black-barbershop-in-atlanta/ excerpt: "The mugshot is the best ev- it just beat Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra by a lot. That's the number one mugshot of all time," Trump said. "It's really an amazing thing. Since it happened, the support among the Black community and the Hispanic community has skyrocketed. It's been very nice to see. The truth is it's really a lovely thing when I see that, we have great support now in the Black community."
Yeah, I heard him say that in a speech. He’s completely insane. All this lying is really getting on my nerves.
Increasingly desperate, Republicans are bringing Walz's dog into the foray. Some have accused Walz of lying about bringing his dog to a dog fest because a pic showed Walz with a dog that wasn't his dog. Walz brought his dog to the event. The pic just happened to show him with someone else's dog.
https://jackson.binnews.com/content...-trumps-visit-to-black-barbershop-in-atlanta/ excerpt: In a statement, Sarafina Chitika, a Biden-Harris campaign spokesperson and Atlanta native, condemned Trump's comments, saying "nothing from Trump's mugshot...will make voters forget his racist track record."
Bringing Walz's dog into the name-calling is desperate. Trump and his supporters can try to extend it by making allegations that Walz's dog is transgender.
Gary Hart ended his campaign in the 1980's simply because he was seen with a woman. In today's world, Trump saying he can grab women by the crotch any time he likes is considered a virtue. The way Trump physically stalked Hillary Clinton on the debate stage (following her and standing right behind her) made it look like he was going to grab her by the crotch.
