Trump is speaking at the same Atlanta arena where Kamala packed it to the rafters a few days ago. Except for Trump there are hundreds of empty seats.

This isn’t particularly surprising. The default in America is to pay lip service to free speech but when confronted with specifics to favor protecting speech we like and punishing speech we don’t like.
More than half of Americans are useful idiots who wouldn't know a leopard if one bounced up and ate their faces.

I knew their ground game would be absolutely superb as soon as I heard they'd outsourced it to Charlie Kirk's grifting ass, but this is really blowing my expectations out of the water. 😂

With the caveat that this is by what I remembered offhand looking at the names, I could be forgetting a whole bunch.

With only six months to go in Biden's presidency, we have to admit he did not do a good job executing his plan to hunt and kill all Republicans

They literally would've covered the entire front page in BIDEN MUST RESIGN demands for a week if he had backed out of a debate and instead invited Trump on Pod Save America instead
By NYT standards, a presidential nominee backing out of a debate unless they get friendly moderators and audience is a big story meriting news articles, analysis, op-eds, and asking everyone in their party about it.
Wait, sorry, GOP nominee Donald Trump did that. Never mind, just print what he says.

Yes and also the beginnings of the next big lie. If "the entire Kamala phenomena [sic.] is completely and utterly fake," there can only be one legitimate outcome to the election.

Defending democracy and self determination and wrecking a major American adversary at the same time is a fantastic use of our tax dollars actually and we should be giving the Ukrainians more weapons and equipment. 💪💪
Ukraine claims it’s sunk the Russian sub Rostov-on-Don in Sevastopol in occupied Crimea.
Air defence system also destroyed.
Crimea = no go zone for Russians.

If you click the ad link, it asks you for all your personal info & instead of helping people to register to vote in battleground states, it says “thank you.” That means you gave over your personal data to a political operative.

Adam drops some real heat in this one, for example:
“Some of the dimmer conservatives on the internet have suggested that being descended from slave owners makes a person not Black; you have to wonder if these people are capable of counting to 10 on their fingers.”

Kamala Harris has always been black, and Donald Trump has always been a liar. Like the original iteration, Trump’s neobirtherism tells a racist story about what’s wrong with America www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
The Rise of Neobirtherism
Trump is suggesting that Kamala Harris became Black only when it was obvious that being Black conferred social advantage.

Just as “weird” has been the epithet that actually stings even though it seems mild, I think the most stinging (and accurate) critique of the NYT is that it’s simply bad at journalism and writing. It often can’t write clear understandable headlines and that’s true even outside of politics

A non-exhaustive recap: 1. The Turks were bribing Trump's incoming National Security Advisor, Flynn, who was involved in a plot with them to kidnap Fetullah Gulen from his home in Pennsylvania and send him back to Turkey to be tortured. 2. The CCP was bribing Jared and Ivanka with patents.

Day 1 of the Harris admin needs to feature an AG not named Garland who will appoint a special counsel to pursue this to the ends of the earth without fear or favor.
Bill Barr sabotaged an investigation into whether Egypt funneled a $10 million donation to the 2016 Trump campaign that, if it occurred, would have covered Trump's personal loan to the campaign in the same amount.
