ALM BEACH, Fla. – Sources within the Trump campaign reported that the former president and his team are seemingly overwhelmed with despair after pollsters found a group of teenage girls responded “ew” when asked about a second Trump term.
“This is an attack beyond anything I’ve ever seen,” said Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita, a political veteran of twenty years. “We can handle personal attacks and policy attacks, but ‘ew?’ That’s beyond the pale. We’re trying to have a discourse with the voters and these teenage girl critics are out for blood. We’re actually working on several lawsuits at the moment claiming that phrases such as ‘ew’ and ‘weird’ are defamatory and worthy of jail time. It’s the only hope we’ve got against these illegal maneuvers.” Donald Trump remains adamant that this phenomenon is “the worst a president has ever been treated.”
“No one has been through what I’ve been through and I’ve been through a lot, trust me, more than you know,” said Trump, speaking with a heavy slur and sweating profusely. “They said I couldn’t be treated any worse, but I have, the worst ever, some say. These girls saying ‘ew’, they say ‘ew’ these days. Girls in my day, they didn’t say ‘ew’, they would say, ‘why do they call this plane the Lolita Express?’ And we’d say, ‘don’t worry about it, sweetheart.’ Never ‘ew’.’ JD Vance is ‘weird,’ he’s my special boy.”
Recent polls from YouGov and Emerson College show Trump’s numbers have cratered since the girls responsible for the movement, Riley Tanner and Ryleigh Trang, made their declaration during study hall last week.
“We saw Trump talking about how beautiful Kamala was and we just thought ‘ew’” said Tanner, speaking on her TikTok page. “Like, he said it with his weird, little butthole mouth and he was all clammy and gross. It was giving ‘Longlegs.’ Also, with Project 2025, Trump and his gross weirdos want to ban abortion, defund Planned Parenthood, and remove social security safety nets for our most vulnerable citizens. It is a flagrant abuse of power, an insult to the constitution, and it just made me think ‘how totally fucking gross, ew.’”
.
As of press time, the Harris/Walz campaign is considering purchasing thousands of billboards across swing states proclaiming EW in giant letters as a valid political strategy.

"Republican Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr has shot down a GOP effort to reopen an investigation into repeatedly discredited claims that victory was "stolen" from former President Donald Trump in 2020.
The Georgia State Election Board, now controlled by Trump loyalists who support election fraud conspiracy theories, earlier this month attempted to order Carr to resume a previously closed investigation into Trump's 2020 loss in Fulton County.
In an official decision issued on Monday, Carr wrote that his office "is not required to conduct an investigation on its own or with outside personnel at the direction of a client" while ruling that the board "is not empowered to direct the Attorney General to conduct an investigation."
Hmm a Republican with a conscience. Who knew?

" ... as he has sought a return to power, he has made clear that he intends to use the military for a range of domestic law enforcement purposes," adding, "During his time out of power, allies of Mr. Trump have worked on policy papers to provide legal justifications for the former president’s intent to use the military to enforce the law domestically."
The Times goes on to report that not everyone in Trump's inner circle is on board with his desire to exert previously unheard-of power.
"Indeed, even by the standards of various norm-busting plans Mr. Trump and his advisers have developed, the idea of using American troops against Americans on domestic soil stands apart. It has engendered quiet discomfort even among some of his allies on other issues," the report states before adding, "Most of the open discussion of it by people other than Mr. Trump has focused on the prospect of using troops in border states — not against American rioters or criminals, but to arrest suspected undocumented migrants and better secure the border against illegal crossings."
Posting the Rawstory summary given NYT is paywall blocked. The buffoonery is insane but this sick conman is dangerous.
I hope members of the military will not vote for this draft dodger who insults them regularly.

"A Bullfinch survey of 1,500 registered voters, spread equally across the three key swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, showed that 40 percent overall would prefer to drink with Harris, compared to 36 percent who said the same for Trump. More than one in five voters (21 percent) said they would rather drink alone than with either the Democratic or Republican presidential hopefuls.
The polling question is a version of the so-called "beer question," which is has essentially been used over the years to determine if a presidential candidate is likable and can appeal to the average voter. Trump has famously not drunk alcohol for decades, which may explain the rewording of the question.
While more of a thought experiment than a scientific forecast, previous winners of the beer question have gone on to win their respective elections."
