    CNN tried to track down where Trump's "Swiss-made" watches were made. The address they found for the company is a store front in Wyoming. That business address is shared with dozens of anonymous companies including one called the Royal Honey Shop where you can buy Hard Steel Honey. You guessed it, it has the active ingredient from viagra in it. It's dick-honey.

    It gets better too. CNN got a hold of a spokesman for the honey shop to see if they were affiliated with Trump in any way. The spokesman, Vladimir Dmitriev, I shit you not, told them that their American leadership had instructed them not to talk to any news agencies until after election day.

    I agree, republicans would fight tooth and nail for Vance to be their candidate, but the democrats would also fight tooth and nail to void those votes as having not been for Vance. It would be one hell of a knock down drag out in the courts... oh, shit. /gulp/ ...until SCOTUS stepped in. Crap.

    I'm not sure that Vance would be the presidential candidate if Trump dies in the next couple weeks. All the states have printed their ballots already, haven't they? Trump is the candidate for president, not Vance. A vote for Trump after he is dead would not legally be a vote for Vance. I think Vance only gets the White House if Trump lives long enough to win or Vance wins as a write-in candidate after Trump dies.

    There are plenty of people in the area between the two extremes who support progressive policies, while not considering themselves progressives, but are not sufficiently motivated to bother voting because neither candidate is explicitly supporting those policies. Those are the votes that are available. Those are the people she should be convincing, not low hanging republican fruit.

    They don't honestly need that butter. They need to wake up and realize that there are enough small dollar donors out there to make up for any big dollar donors they lose. Look at how much Bernie Sanders raked in from small donors by courting progressives.

    “If you're exhausted on the campaign trail, it raises real questions about whether you are fit for the toughest job in the world,” she said.

    This is true, except, that if Trump is reelected he'll simply spend all his time playing nice relaxing games of golf and skimming money from the treasury and everyone who wants a political favor. Just like he did last time.

    This is stupid. How about you make a play for disenchanted progressives who actually could be convinced to vote for you? Republicans are not going to vote for Harris in any great numbers. The evidence is in the fact that every republican who has come out to support Harris is retired from politic life either by choice or by having been voted out by the rabid faction that makes up the vast bulk of the republican base. Republican voters make up about 30% of eligible voters and democrats make up another ~30%. How about you go after the 40% that sit between the two groups by making it worth their while to get off the couch and go vote?

    Forming any kind of alliance with Putin's Russia is an absurdist fantasy. After he is gone, and is a more reasonable government takes his place, then some kind of future alliance will perhaps be possible.

    Anger management, therefore, is treating symptoms and not the cause. Instead he probably needs anxiety meds.

    This is a broad, over-general statement. Not everyone experiencing anger control issues is suffering from the same experiences that you did. I'm happy that you were able to come to terms with your own problems, but dismissing anger management classes as "treating symptoms and not the cause" is not fair. Some people do benefit from them even if you didn't.

    This is so odd. She's already talked about how he forced himself on her and how gross he was and she described his dick as a weird little mushroom. What the hell are they afraid she's going to say that she hasn't already said?

    Republicans, in one of the more moronic takes of the election season, say that if Biden is too old to run for office, then he's too old to hold the office and should resign.

    Fulton County prosecutors filed an emergency request for a protective order in the Georgia election subversion case on Tuesday after recorded statements made by multiple defendants as part of their plea deals were made public. On Monday, ABC News and The Washington Post published footage of the proffer sessions, which showed the four defendants who pleaded guilty being questioned by prosecutors about their involvement in various efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Prosecutors said the footage was turned over to the remaining defendants as part of discovery, urging the court to impose restrictions on how the defendants can disclose the materials. “The release of these confidential video recordings is clearly intended to intimidate witnesses in this case, subjecting them to harassment and threats prior to trial, constitutes indirect communication about the facts of this case with codefendants and witnesses, and obstructs the administration of justice, in violation of the conditions of release imposed on each defendant,” prosecutors wrote in their motion. To prevent further disclosure, prosecutors said they will not provide videos of any proffer sessions to defendants moving forward. “Instead, defendants must come to the District Attorney’s Office to view confidential video recordings of proffers. They may take notes, but they will be prohibited from creating any recordings or reproductions,” prosecutors wrote in the filing.

    Last weekend, an auction held at his Florida home saw the item, described as "a one of a kind Trump Glock from the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump," go up for bidding during a charity event. Pictures circulating on social media show the gun being presented at the auction, with news website Meidas Touch saying that bidding for the item began at $10,000. However, the transaction could land the former U.S. president in considerable trouble, given that federal law prohibits those under indictment from transacting firearms. Trump is embroiled in active legal proceedings, having testified at a civil trial over the New York investigation into financial fraud at the Trump Organization. The former president has denied all wrongdoing and repeatedly said that the ongoing federal and civil cases against him are part of a political witch hunt.
