About Trump demanding the FEC revoke ABC's broadcast license.

This is more ignorant and crazy.

Ignorant: ABC doesn't own a broadcast license. Their local affiliates who broadcast OTA to you for free have broadcast licenses. Same for local radio affiliates.

Crazy: he is still melting down.

Trump spends the day yesterday claiming he won the debate just like he won the election in 2020.

CPI Inflation was 2.5% in August, adding to steady evidence of a cooling economy.

Trump's buddy Geraldo said Trump's debate performance was "creepy, cringey, childish".

The Country of Germany's account pn twitter fact-checked Trump at debate 2024:

"Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables. And we are shutting down – not building – coal & nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs."

Trump said this in the debate, and you may have missed it because he was a mess in a narcissistic rage:

"I don't know, all I can say, I read where she was not black, that she put out, and--I'll say that--and then I read she was black".

Yep, we all missed Trump saying "that she put out".

Republican pollster Frank Luntz predicts Trump will lose the election after the disastrous debate:

“It was a pretty negative performance, pretty pessimistic, cynical, contemptuous ... I think that he loses because of this debate performance”

Skank fight!

Thank goodness.

Ben Hodges--I blame spell check.

" I know for a fact that leaders of many of our NATO allies are very concerned about what it would mean to have Trump as the president, as a leader of NATO’s leading nation. They’re very concerned about that.

And of course, the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, are all looking at that sort of vulnerability, which is a real problem for us." -- Retired Lt. General Been Hodges, lifelong Republican.

Good news.

"Iran’s provision of ballistic missiles in direct support of Russia’s war against Ukraine is a threat to European and global security.

Today the State Dept and The US Treasury are imposing sanctions on individuals and entities supporting such activities.". -- Anthony Blinken

Morning Joe guest: post debate poll, 92% of undecided voters who watched the debate broke for Kamala Harris.

You know what ear-worm is stuck in my head after Elon said he would impregnate her after she endorsed Kamala Harris?

Jethro Tull's "Aqualung". I cannot even see his name without hearing.. "Sitting on a park bench...".

"Leon" musk responds to Taylor Swift endorsement of Kamala Harris by offering to "impregnate" Taylor Swift.

That there is some epic level creepy shit.
