Dumb NYP reporter casually admits that the most powerful finance executives, along with most of Wall Street, have abandoned Trump (whom they supported over Biden in 2024) for VP Harris. And not what the white Crypto bros want
Rumormill
Trump's motorcade is headed to Jackson Hole, WY. the home of his biggest donor, Timothy Mellon,
TFG is going to beg for funds to pay his uppaid Wyoming bills and fix his plane
“An Idaho law banning minors from receiving healthcare without parent approval has created a legal problem.
If a child is raped by their parent, medics now require that parent’s permission to administer the rape kit that would prove their own guilt.”
FYI over 50% of all child sexual assaults are done by parents or close family members
To the GOP, children are property
Reminder that in 2020, Trump said he might not tell the FBI if foreign actors provided campaign dirt on his rivals. And he rebuked the FBI director for saying that campaigns should report such foreign interference

Trump Campaign internal communications hacked and leaked to press

Trumps plane reportedly had a hydraulic leak that forced it to divert to Billings, then the Secret service had to do a full sweep of the airport before Trump could transfer to a private jet to finish the last 142 mile journey to Bozeman, which caused most of the 3 hour delay.
some Rumors are that Trump had some unpaid bills at the Billings airport, and would have to pay up to get TRUMP FARCE ONE fixed and refueled there.
Really costly campaign stop
good
okay so trump apparently was in an almost helicopter accident with a black politician he *thinks* is willie brown.
it was Nate Holden, a former city councilman and state senator from Los Angeles. I guess black people look all the same to Trump But to Trump it is a better story if it was Harris's ex and he told Trump dirt about her. So he just made it all up

Starting to think the Media is just jealous that Harris-Walz are filling event centers and stadiums to over capacity like famous rock stars and not letting reports interview them
They want the viewer numbers for their networks on a 1v1 Exclusive and they ain't playing.
Media are so thirsty for their drip
Might as well bring up the 1989 story of Trump claiming to have nearly avoided another Helicopter crash... that he was never planning to be a part of.
Trump just makes up a reality that makes him look good and threatens and attacks anyone like the bully he is to anyone who pushes back.
And now his brain is soup and he is mashing all these stories together cause they sound good to him
Trump is bullying and threatening to sue a major newspaper that accused him of making up a story that was completely fabricated
THe media needs to wake up and realise this is a problem
Judge #Chutkan quickly approved Smith's three-week delay, a tacit acknowledgment that the case is unlikely to produce significant new developments this year, and a trial is a long way off. Next update Aug 30th
Also #Chutkan is refusing to accept amicus briefs from outside parties (looks at Kash Patel and Judge Cannon)

David Nicholas Dempsey, of CA, sentenced to 20 YEARS in prison for assaulting multiple officers on #jan6th It's the second-longest Capitol riot sentence to date.
Dempsey flashed the "OK" sign above his head as Marshals led him out of court.
Any story attacking Tim Walz as out-of-touch for signing a free menstrual products bill with gender-neutral statutory language re restrooms fails readers & the public if they fail to note:
Florida
California
Colorado
Delaware
Washington
New Mexico
all have similar Gender neutral laws for free menstrual products at schools
Journalists should stop making readers do the work that should have been done before the story was printed
summarizing the current post-Dobbs situation:
* #abortions are up
* rape/incest pregnancies carried to term also up
* infant and maternal mortality up
making everything worse for everyone, that's the Conservative way. It is also about punishing women for not being perfect servile incubators of the Men who have chosen them to be the Mother of their children

Lawrence O'Donnell's scathing take down of the media in general, and of the reporters at Trump's insane rant in particular
"The vast well of stupidity that takes up most of [Trump's] brain"
"It is 2016 all over again, the same mistakes are being made the media is failing america"
DOJ asks for more time to figure out its position on next steps for the immunity fight in the Trump election obstruction case. Judge #Chutkan had asked for proposals by tomorrow and set a hearing for next week. Special counsel asks to delay deadline until 8/30
Reporter: Would you direct your fda to revoke access to Mifepristone
Trump: You could do things that would supplement. Absolutely. And those things are pretty open and humane…
(Trump has no idea what Mifepristone is, probably thinks it is a character from "Cats")
