Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "Tucker Carlson's Sexual Demon" just went up and I love it. Nutty Tucker Carlson, if you missed it, is claiming a demon assaulted him in his own bed -- he's gone before the cameras to make that claim.
On September 19, 2024, CNN reported that Robinson had made many graphic remarks on the online pornographic forum Nude Africa from 2008 to 2012 under the username "minisoldr", with Robinson being linked to accounts named "minisoldr" on several websites, including Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Disqus, and BlackPlanet.[1] The remarks made on Nude Africa included expressing support for slavery, using various homophobic, racial, and antisemitic slurs, enjoying transgender pornography, admitting to peeping at women showering in public showers without their knowledge when he was 14 and continuing to fantasize about the experience as an adult, self-identifying as a "perv", and calling himself a "Black Nazi" and stating his support for Adolf Hitler over Barack Obama as United States president.[1][40] Another remark labelled Martin Luther King, Jr. a "commie bastard" and then stated: "If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!"[1] CNN highlighted that "minisoldr" on Nude Africa shared many of Robinson's personal details, and used several unconventional phrases that Robinson later used on Facebook from 2014 to 2017.[1] Robinson denied the allegations.[41][42] Without any evidence, he accused Josh Stein, his main opponent for the governorship, of being responsible for the discovery of the Nude Africa account[43] and claimed that the account was generated by artificial intelligence.[44][45] The Nude Africa posts by "minisoldr" were deleted on the same day as CNN's report about them.[46]
Weeks prior, online publication The Assembly had published allegations by six people who said they witnessed Robinson visiting video pornography shops up to five times a week in Greensboro in the 1990s and 2000s.[1][47] Politico published a story, on the same day as CNN, reporting that Robinson's email was registered on Ashley Madison, a website designed for married people seeking extramarital affairs.[48] Then, The Washington Post reported that "minisoldr" on Nude Africa discussed having extramarital sex with his wife’s sister, and also praised Hitler's Mein Kampf.[46] Politico followed up by reviewing data breaches from multiple websites and found that Robinson's email address had also been registered with other previously unreported dating websites, and that the IP address associated with these accounts (including the Nude Africa account) was from a location not far from Robinson's home.[49]
Before the CNN and Politico stories broke, Robinson was reportedly pressured by staff and members of the Trump presidential campaign to withdraw from the gubernatorial race due to rumors of a controversial story leaking to the news that involved Robinson's activity on pornographic websites in the 2000s.[50][51] Jonathan Bridges, who managed the campaign of former congressman Mark Walker, and Scott Lassiter, a Republican candidate for state senate, both called on Robinson to suspend his campaign.[40] Robinson announced he planned to stay in the race.[41] The Democratic National Committee then launched an ad campaign in North Carolina to highlight Trump's endorsement of him.[52] Within three days of CNN's report, most of Robinson's gubernatorial campaign staff resigned, leaving only three staffers.[53][54] According to WRAL-TV, Robinson had repeatedly rebuffed offers from backers to get him in touch with specialized tech firms that could help him investigate the comments whose authenticity he was disputing, which led to a loss of trust among his former staffers.[55]
"We're ahead of my opponent, and I feel comfortable with our polling," Lake said during a campaign interview. The Republican posted on X, formerly Twitter, back in July that her "hero" Donald Trump "needs backup in Washington, DC. And I'm going to be his backup."
In October 2022, Lake twice refused to say that she will accept the result if she lost the election: "I'm going to win the election, and I will accept that result."[69]
Multiple media outlets projected on November 14, 2022, that Lake had narrowly lost the gubernatorial election to Hobbs.[70][71] Lake's reaction to this was tweeting that "Arizonans know BS when they see it."[72] On November 17, Lake still refused to concede her loss, and announced she was assembling a legal team to challenge the results.[73][74]
Arizona's election results were certified on December 5, with Lake losing to Hobbs by a margin of over 17,000 votes: Lake received 1,270,774 votes, while Hobbs received 1,287,891 votes.[75][76] A January 2023 analysis by a trio of election data experts, collectively known as the Audit Guys, concluded that in Maricopa County, over 33,000 voters who voted Republican in down-ballot races chose to vote for Hobbs instead of Lake, while nearly 6,000 Republican leaning voters did not vote in the gubernatorial election or wrote in another candidate instead of Lake; together, these voters could have flipped the result of the election had they voted for Lake.[77] Conversely, the analysis found that Lake received fewer than 6,000 votes from Democrat-leaning voters in Maricopa County.[77] Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported in February 2023 that its survey of over 3,200 voters estimated that 11% of Arizona Republicans had voted for Hobbs, while 4% of Arizona Democrats voted for Lake.[78]
Lake alleged voter disfranchisement due to ballot printing problems and long waiting lines in Maricopa County, which had elections run by local Republican officials.[73][79] In 70 out of 223 Maricopa County polling sites, voting machine ballots were printed too lightly to be read by tabulators; the problem was caused by a printer setting which had not shown widespread issues during prior testing.[73][80] If voters did not want to wait in line for the issue to be fixed, they could leave to vote at another Maricopa County polling site, with wait times for polling sites being shown online, and many polling sites had little to no waiting lines, stated Maricopa County election officials.[73][74][81] Alternatively, voters could drop their ballots into a secure box ("Box 3"), with these ballots being later tabulated at Maricopa County's elections headquarters, under monitoring from observers from both parties; ultimately, around 17,000 Maricopa County ballots were dropped into Box 3.[73][74][82] The Arizona secretary of state's office spokesperson said that "Every voter who went to one of the voting locations affected was still able to cast their ballot", and voting rights experts agreed.[83]
Bill Gates, the Republican chair of Maricopa's Board of Supervisors, partially blamed the long lines on Arizona Republican Party chairwoman Kelli Ward for discouraging voters from using Box 3; she had claimed that Box 3 should not be used as "Maricopa County is not turning on their tabulators downtown today".[73][84] Lake herself told her supporters to stay in line to vote, while a lawyer for Lake's campaign assuaged concerns about using Box 3 to vote.[84] Lake's campaign filed a lawsuit on Election Day to extend voting for another three hours, but Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Tim Ryan declined to do so, stating: "The court doesn't have any evidence that any voter was precluded from their right to vote".[85]
While Lake alleged that Republican-dominated areas in Maricopa County were disproportionately affected by the printing problems, The Washington Post found that the percentage of registered Republicans in affected precincts (37%) was very close to the percentage of registered Republicans across Maricopa County (35%), and also found that some Democrat-dominated areas also faced the printing problems.[80][86] Meanwhile, The New York Times analyzed 45 claims of irregularities reported by voters, finding that in 34 of these 45 claims, the voters were able to cast their vote despite an inconvenience; while for the others, three raised problems with voter registration; seven gave unclear accounts as to what exactly happened; and only one said she had been denied the opportunity to vote, though she acknowledged she had arrived at her polling place at the time it closed.[84] Lake self-identified as a "proud election denying deplorable" in December 2022.[87]
Hobbs was sworn in as governor on January 2, 2023.[88] Later in January 2023, Lake posted on Twitter 16 voter signatures, mostly from 2020, suggesting that these were from illegal ballots because the signatures did not match; Arizona law states that "records containing a voter's signature ... shall not be ... reproduced by any person other than the voter", with the exception of those working for the county recorder.[89] She also posted a false claim that almost 250,000 voting attempts failed during the 2022 Arizona elections, without proving that the votes were not counted; during the elections, votes that could not be initially scanned were later counted at another location.[90]
Lake's campaign raised $2.6 million from Election Day until the end of 2022, while taking in even more money from a non-profit fundraising group started by Lake's advisers in December 2022; this group became Lake's main fundraising outlet by February 2023, and is not required to publish donation details.[78] The Arizona Mirror found in January 2023 that less than 10% of the funds raised by Lake after the election were paid to lawyers, despite Lake claiming that the funds were meant for contesting election results.[91]
The results of an independent investigation into the 2022 election's printing problems was published in April 2023; the investigation was led by a retired chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, Ruth McGregor, who concluded that "the primary cause of the election day failures was equipment failure", and that no evidence gathered gave "clear indication that the problems should have been anticipated". McGregor also detailed: "Two-thirds of the general election vote centers reported no issues with misprinted ballots; approximately 94 percent of election day ballots were not faulty".[92][93]
In February 2024, Lake was questioned about her claims about the 2022 gubernatorial election, to which she replied: "I don't know who exactly stole the election, but there are a lot of people who are running elections poorly, and we've seen the results."[94]
In June 2024, an Arizona Court of Appeals panel rejected Lake's appeal of a December 2022 ruling which declared that Katie Hobbs had won the election. Bryan Blehm, who represented Lake in the lawsuit, was suspended from practicing law for 60 days for lying to the Arizona Supreme Court.[95]
This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Monday, November 4, 2024. Con man and convicted felon Donald Trump mimes a blow job onstage, is unaware what state he is in, threatens reporters and boasts of his "beautiful White skin," while Kamala Harris seals the deal.
Tomorrow the US presidential election concludes. Over the weekend, things only got worse for Convicted Felon Donald Trump and his crazed MAGA cult.
Less than four hours ago, Ava and my "Media: The election winds down" went up:
The whole last week has been crazy as Donald's mouth has bled out blather.
For example, he again wished violence on former US House Rep Liz Cheney -- this time guns pointed at her head in a firing squad. Threats of violence are all the tired, old crook had to offer. THE TIMES OF ISRAEL noted today:
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday that he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden, and said he wouldn’t mind if someone shot reporters at the campaign event.
In a meandering 90-minute rally speech two days before Tuesday’s US presidential election, Trump attacked the news media at length, at one point gesturing to TV cameras and saying, “ABC, it’s ABC, fake news, CBS, ABC, NBC. These are, these are, in my opinion, in my opinion, these are seriously corrupt people.”
Between those threats? He managed to mime jerking off a microphone and going down on it in Milwaukee. He also managed to threaten violence from the stage, "You've gotta be kidding. Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people backstage?" Warren, Michigan found him unable to say "recession," in Atlanta, George he called Kamala "a twain weck." He's an embarrassment who long ago lost his cognitive skills and just stands in front of smaller crowds speaking about his "beautiful white skin" and his hair and other topics that have nothing to do with our lives and that's why more and more people are walking out of these rallies long before he completes his free association remarks passed off as speeches. In Latrobe, Pennsylvania, he'd already began speaking when he announced he was leaving the stage to comb his hair but he would be right back. While in North Carolina, Trump didn't know he was . . . speaking in North Carolina.
At COMMON DREAMS, Jake Johnson reports:
During a rally on the final Sunday before the presidential election, Republican nominee Donald Trump told an audience gathered in the battleground state of Pennsylvania that he wouldn't mind if a gunman shot through the group of reporters covering the event.
After discussing the protective glass surrounding him, the former president said a would-be assassin "would have to shoot through the fake news" to get to him.
"I don't mind that so much," Trump said, drawing laughter and applause from his supporters. "I don't mind."
[. . .]
Journalist Jeff Sharlet wrote in response that during his time covering "the fascism beat," he's met "men who've been itching for that encouragement, who openly fantasize about beating or killing reporters."
"It's not a joke," Sharlet wrote. "It's fascism."
Trump has long reveled in attacking members of the press, vilifying them as "the enemy of the people" and directing the ire of his supporters in their direction. Kash Patel, a Trump confidant who's expected to get a senior national security post if the former president wins Tuesday's election, suggested earlier this year that a second Trump administration would go after "the people in the media" with criminal or civil charges, underscoring the threat the Republican nominee poses to press freedom.
Facing backlash over Trump's latest attack on the press, his campaign issued an absurd statement claiming the former president was "actually looking out for [reporters'] welfare" by "stating that the media was in danger."
The desperation never ends with the convicted felon and his crazies. Marco Rubio and other idiots had a fit that Kamala Harris was on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.
Liars like Marco Rubio are trying to claim that The Fairness Doctrine has been violated. No, it has not.
They're so stupid.
First off, the Fairness Doctrine was something Ronald Reagan was gunning to overturn when he became president. And, in 1987, in his second term, his FCC did just that.
But it did not cover humor. It never covered humor.
Now I know that they're ignorant because they were home 'schooled.' Inappropriate behavior meant that they had to leave their schools. But we all grasp it was never the children's fault, it was always the parents. That's where they learned the behavior.
But in the real world, where many of us strive to learn, your ignorance is appalling.
That's Richard Nixon in 1968, while running for president.
There was no outrcy of "UNFAIR!" from Hubert Humphrey. No one dared cite The Fairness Act -- which was in effect then.
A year later, Lily Tomlin's Ernestine did the following sketch.
Again, no outcry or pretense that the sketch above violated The Fairness Act. It didn't.
Never, while The Fairness Act was in effect, did anyone try to, for example, calculate Johnny Carson's jokes on THE TONIGHT SHOW to see if one party was favored and to make some sort of case over that. The Fairness Act was never intended to cover humor and Little Marco is foolish idiot for even attempting to make that argument.
Donald Trump is ignorant of the law. That's how he ended up a convicted felon, after all. His groupies are equally uninformed when it comes to the law. Not just Little Marco, but all of them. David Edwards (RAW STORY) reports:
In the days leading up to the November presidential election, Clark County's Lieutenant John Rodgers said he would use voter registration records to determine which calls he responded to.
The station reviewed social media posts with the threats from Rodgers.
"I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you" and "The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days," he reportedly wrote.
[. . .]
The Clark County Sheriff's Office told WHIO that an investigation had been launched into the social media posts.
"It is understood that while these comments are highly inappropriate, they in no means reflect the Clark County Sheriff's Office delivery of service to ALL our community and does not reflect the mission and values of the Sheriff's Office. The community has a right to be upset over the actions of Lt. Rodgers and he, as well as the Sheriff's Office in general, will have to work even harder to replenish the trust of members of our community," a statement from the department said.
This isn't open to interpretation. This is the law.
You can't talk about butt-hurt idiots without eventually working your way around to Miss Sassy JD Vance. Kathleen Culliton (RAW STORY) reports:
Former President Donald Trump's running mate has Democratic jaws dropping after he suggested there was one thing his boss would never do.
Sen. J.D. Vance told rally attendees in Aston, Pennsylvania, on Sunday that the Republican presidential nominee always had championed Americans' right to freedom of speech — and always would.
"You know something Donald Trump will never do?" Vance said. "Donald Trump will never go out there and say that his fellow citizens should be censored or silenced for disagreeing with them."
Replied political commentator Justin Baragona, "Trump is literally demanding that CBS and ABC be taken off the air."
Trump and his allies have filed a complaint against CBS, sued ABC News and accused the Washington Post of illegally spreading propaganda supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.
Studies show reporters fear they'll be thrown in prison if Trump is reelected and have face violent threats at his rallies from supporters who tell journalists, "I hope you're dismembered."
They have spent months lying to the country, thinking we must be kin to Boo-Boo the Fool.
MORNING JOE today offers a comparison of the weekend messages from both campaigns.
And that's why people are rejecting Donald Trump. Julia Conley (COMMON DREAMS) reports:
Political observers expressed shock Saturday evening as the Des Moines Register released its final poll before Election Day showing Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leading Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by three points.
Harris was supported by 47% of respondents compared to 44% who backed Trump.
The newspaper's poll, conducted by pollster J. Ann Selzer, is widely regarded as the "gold standard" survey of voters in the state and has been recognized as "predicting" numerous election results in Iowa and giving a potential preview of how candidates could fare in other Midwestern states with similar demographics.
It was not a good week for grifters. Donald got checked, JD Vance got checked, Little Marco got checked -- even queen grifter Jill Stein got checked. Julia Conley (COMMON DREAMS) reports:
Noting that the U.S. Green Party and its presidential nominee, Jill Stein, have strayed far from the values held by Green parties in countries across the globe, a coalition of European lawmakers representing the organization called on Stein to drop out of the U.S. presidential race to help prevent a victory by Republican nominee Donald Trump.
"The stakes of these elections could not be higher," reads an open letter from politicians and parties from countries including Norway, Belgium, France, Ireland. "We are clear that [Democratic Vice President] Kamala Harris is the only candidate who can block Donald Trump and his anti-democratic, authoritarian policies from the White House."
Stein, who has run for president in the last four elections and won 1.4 million votes in 2016, is now polling between 1.1% and 1.4% and is on the ballot in a majority of states, including almost every battleground state.
The European Greens noted that they advocate "for a politics that prioritizes the planet, people, and peace above corporate greed, systemic injustice, and violence."
"The U.S. Greens are no longer a member of the global organization of
Green parties," reads the letter, spearheaded by European Greens
co-chairs Mélanie Vogel, a French senator, and Thomas Waitz, an Austrian
member of European Parliament. "In part this fissure resulted from
their relationship with parties with authoritarian leaders, and serious
policy differences on key issues including Russia's full-scale assault
on Ukraine."
Stein attended a dinner in Russia in 2015 with Russian President Vladimir Putin and has been critical of U.S. support for Ukraine's defense against the Russian invasion that began in 2022.
In mid-October, Stein joined former Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant at a rally where Sawant acknowledged that Stein has no chance of winning. At an event in Michigan, Sawant said the state was "ground zero to punish Kamala Harris and defeat her" for Harris' support for the Biden administration's policy in Israel and Palestine. The comment suggested to critics that Stein and her supporters view a Trump presidency as preferable to a Harris victory on November 5.
"The U.S. Green Party is attempting to go after the subset of voters on the left who don't like the Democrats," Carl Roberts, a spokesperson for Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, a political foundation affiliated with the German Green Party, toldThe Guardian in September. "I think this is quite out of step with other Green parties, who always center environmental concerns in their messaging and campaigns as one of their highest priorities."
Here's the Tweet.
Margaret Kimberley and Anne Garrison had hissy fits on Twitter. They're stupid fools and have too much say in the Green Party. I said Jill would be suicide for the Green Party. They could have gone with Kat Swift, Kent Mesplay, Dario Hunter, anyone -- anyone but the grifter who'd already held the title of presidential nominee two times before. When you run the same failure three times, you make it clear that your party is not growing. It's stagnant. And when that loser is a grifter who grabbed millions from people for a 2016 recount that never really happened? Your con artist is very close with Donald Trump's campaign for a reason.
Faced with reality, these idiots and kooks can't deal with it. So you get Margaret Kimberely nuttier then when she used to claim that a plane didn't bring down the Twin Towers now insisting, "They are pro-war collaborators. So yes, they got a call from NATO and I'm guessing from the DNC too."
That's right, Margaret, it's a plot! An international plot! It's a plot! The European Greens are actually CIA! And NATO!!!!
Do you get how crazy you sound? Do you? People are laughing at you -- and, for a change, it's not because your buddies with registered sex offender Scott Ritter, nor is it because of your cheap ass weaves. Open the purse, Margaret, spend some money on fake hair or wear your real hair.
They are a joke -- and a dirty joke at that. Their response to this criticism -- accurate criticism -- is not to attempt to refute it but to instead serve up more nutty conspiracies.
