    The further adventures of pedo Gaetz and its “varied sex life”:

    One eyewitness cited in the court filings, a young woman referred to as K.M., provided a sworn affidavit that claimed the teenage girl was naked, partygoers were there to “engage in sexual activities,” and “alcohol, cocaine, ecstasy … and marijuana” were present. The teenage girl was identified in the filings only as A.B.

    “The discovery taken in this case to date reflects that on Saturday, July 15, 2017 … Dorworth, hosted a party at his residence … with the following guests present: (1) A.B.; (2) K.M.; (3) B.G.; (4) Matt Gaetz,” lawyers wrote in the filing, also listing several others. The defense lawyers filed testimonies from those three women — who the attorneys say placed Gaetz at Dorworth’s house that night — under seal pending a judge’s approval to make the records public.

    This isn’t about fundraising at this point.
    This is about targeted turnout.
    This is what messaging to target turnout looks like:

    This was an hour and a half long televised townhall. This portion on Dobbs and Republican abortion bans comes at about 40 minutes in. That’s not accidental. They know that their maximum live audience will peak right about that timestamp.

    The whole thing is very effective. But this section on Republican abortion bans is devastating – up and down the ticket. It’s absolutely deadly to Trump/Vance in swing states among women voters. And they know it.

    Share it widely and often.

    2700 LV, Morning Consult out this morning has Cancun Cruz down one.

    Shame the RNC can’t just roll in and spend money to rescue Ted. But have you seen Laura Trump’s music video?

  8. 8

    7,
    Trump isn’t going to lose in Texas. But he’s got to scrounge up resources and volunteers to save North Carolina. So Raphael Cancun is on his own. And Colin Allred is surging, thanks in no small part to his outspoken support for women’s right to reproductive health care. It doesn’t hurt that women find Raphael Cancun’s MILF porn addiction gross and weird.

    An hour and a half of questions.. I see no teleprompters..

    Softballs? Yeah sure but no different than what drumpf gets from Faux Snooze, Newzwackos and onanism..

    The war on women from misogynists like kreepshit has never been so intense but in their rapeshit hate frenzies they forget women vote and huffing their own copium babble “fill the tank, make the rent”, copypasta online polls, etc.

    SAD!

    How do you attend an event on Fighting Anti-Semitism and blame the Jews for your problems?

    Donnie the Schmuck Trump

    “If I don’t win this election—and the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens, because, at 40%, that means 60% of the people are voting for the enemy—Israel, in my opinion, will cease to exist within two years,”

    A lot of the live events you’ll see at mobilize.us are phone and text banking opportunities. These are not cold calls to all phones. They are targeted. But who they target can vary depending on the campaign and the objectives.

    In a lot of cases right now, as registration deadlines in targeted states are imminent, the targeted phones belong to people who are not registered voters. The campaigns sort and analyze these folks to look for those most likely to support Democrats and our issues. And these texts and phone calls are just the first step. Depending on the results of initial contact there can be lots of follow up culminating in personal visits from neighbors like these:

    https://youtu.be/2nFMqTxhR_A?feature=shared

    But in order for canvassing efforts like Neighbor2Neighbor to work effectively it’s really imperative that these neighborhood canvassing volunteers have high quality, qualified leads. That all starts with these initial contacts via text and phone bank. And that’s why it’s important to realize that every Democrat, even Democrats living in solidly blue safe states and districts where there are no national canvasing operations, can still make a huge impact and contribute with time and effort.

    The platforms campaigns use to generate phone bank and text bank contacts are super efficient and do not use your own personal phone number. They allow a volunteer to make hundreds of contacts in as little as an hour or two. And yes, the response rate is very, very low. Five hundred texts might only generate a single response. But with hundreds of thousands of volunteers doing a few hundred contacts per day the responses will add up. And those responses are the seed corn from which swing state and swing district victories are sown.

    Maybe you can’t be in Michigan or Pennsylvania, or Arizona to knock doors. But your small efforts can make those local efforts a big success.

    About that….

    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/20/us/politics/kamala-harris-trump-campaign-spending.html

    In the last month, his campaign has spent more on ads featuring the page of Alina Habba, one of his telegenic lawyers and advisers, than on those for Senator JD Vance of Ohio, his running mate. The Habba ads are meant to encourage small donors to contribute.

    “Do we not have the best-looking team in the world?” Ms. Habba asks in one ad, as she walks around the campaign’s office. “Yeah, we do.”

    Trump wanted Guard troops. Transcripts prove it.

    GENERAL MARK MILLEY, CHAIRMAN, JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF:
    “[January 3, 2021] The President justsays, ‘Hey, look at this. There’s going to be a large amount of
    protesters here on the 6th, make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiersto make sure it’s a
    safe event.’” *
    “[POTUS said] ‘Hey,I don’t care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have
    to do. Just make sure it’ssafe.’” *
    …
    CHRISTOPHER MILLER, ACTING SECRETARY OF DEFENSE:
    “The President commented that they were going to need 10,000 troopsthe following day…Iinterpreted it as
    a bit of presidential banter or President Trump banterthat you all are familiar with, and in no way,shape, or
    form did Iinterpret that as an order or direction.” *

    When the Capitol Police called for backup, they were turned down:

    CHIEF STEVEN SUND, U.S. CAPITOL POLICE:
    “I’m making an urgentrequest forthe National Guard. We are being overrun.I gave a quick rundown of
    what we had going on and that officers out there are fighting fortheirlives. We were about to be taken over.
    The representative from the Secretary of the Army said, “I don’t like the optics of National Guard standing in a
    line with the Capitol in the background.”” *
    “I explained to them that the building is being breached.I need their assistance immediately. He [General
    Piatt]said, “My recommendation to the Secretary of the Army isto notsupport the request.” *

    Canadians get ready to rumble.

    ‘I’m right here, bro’: Singh, Poilievre have tense exchange during question period

    Singh was called out as the bloviating chickenshit that he became:

    “He is a fake, a phony and a fraud. How can anyone ever believe what this sell-out NDP leader says in the future?”

    At which point Singh came out from his hiding spot behind Goldymade a scene:

    Singh left his seat and walked into the aisle to shout at Poilievre. Two MPs who were in the House told CBC News that Singh said, “I’m right here, bro,” while another said they heard the NDP leader say, “I’m right here.”

    Liberal MP Kevin Lamoureux told CBC News that he couldn’t make out what Singh said to Poilievre. He said the NDP leader “looked upset and somewhat confrontational, which seemed to amuse the Conservative leader.”

    Of course Poilievre was amused. Likewise, it was hilarious watching Welfare Queen YLB wail, “Why are you here?” when she was in the throes of despair over her party’s 2014 midterm losses.

    When chickenshits try to grow a spine for show, it’s always funny.

    Looks like Putin’s most elite armored assault division, The 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya Tank Division, relies on the same OpSec as the Trump campaign:

    https://x.com/Gerashchenko_en/status/1837123477809050084

    This is the same armored division that was stopped cold and routed while attempting to surround and beseige Kharkiv, the second major objective in the opening hours of the invasion, losing up to 90 percent of their fielded component. A similar fate was suffered by the 1st Guards Tank Army assigned to surround and beseige Kyiv. These massive opening defeats were made possible by nine-eyes intelligence delivered directly to the AFU by Vice President Kamala Harris.

    Now the same elite armored division is being sent a grimly terrifying message. This is particularly true in light of the recent total destruction of the largest Russian defense depot in Toropetz Tvir, also deep in Russian territory. The destruction was so immense that it was picked up and confirmed on seismic monitors in neighboring Latvia. Satellite imagery has been unable to provide analysis of the level of loss in the Toropets attack due to continuous ongoing fires and thick smoke, obscuring both optical and infrared imaging.

    Russian news agency reports suggested that the Toropets attack was carried out by UAVs. If true that would suggest a capability and a level of sophistication not previously thought to be possessed by AFU. Such a drone attack would have to fly a ground contour flight path relying on the most sophisticated surveillance data using some degree of stealth technology to avoid Russian radars. And to reach specific targets and penetrate them with relatively small warheads would require the most sophisticated guidance and targeting systems known to exist.

    If AFU has such a capability then the video collected from inside the reserve headquarters located within the Moscow Oblast sends a terrifying message to the Russian armored command.

    This from a silly troll who was MIA in November 2022…

    What happened kreepshit?

    In the throes of despair over the faylure of noun, verb, Chicago?

    All things go nicely, it will be MIA this November as well..

    The complete list of noun, verb, blah, blah will be a treat to laugh over.

    It’s so sad.

    Vance has a new TikTok video. He’s wearing a suit and someone has wheeled a bar video game into an office for him.

    “JD Vance here playing some Buck Hunter. Also known as the closest Tim Walz has been to combat.”

    Three things in this attempt to make Vance seem not weird.

    1. You’re wearing a suit and someone put the game in an office which visually is quite strange.

    2. It’s called Big Buck Hunter. Always has been. It’s been in Pizza Parlors and bars for 30 years and it’s called Big Buck Hunter.

    3. You should have let someone play for you so the screen we can see does show you missed 2/3 shots on level 1. A Toddler can go 2 for 3 on level 1

    @8 Ted Crud was always on his own. So is every other GOP down-ballot candidate. Fat Donny was never going to spend RNC money on anyone but himself. That’s why his daughter-in-law is in charge there.

  31. 31

    Fat Donny was never going to spend RNC money on anyone but himself.

    Probably true. But undoubetdly likely to complicate Lindsay Graham’s efforts to get Nebraska Republican lawmakers to pass winner-take-all legislation. He’s got to have something to offer these fuck sticks. Some of them have to pull votes from Omaha Democrats.

    Boxcheck Momala: I’m gonna lower prices by going after price-gougers. Even though almost none of them do it.

    She accused companies of taking advantage of extreme weather emergencies or the COVID-19 pandemic to raise prices and pad profits.

    “People are desperate because of these kinds of emergencies, desperate for support. And then some, you know, corporations — and it’s very few of them that do this — but then jack up prices to make it more difficult for desperate people to just get by,” she said.

    Ms. Harris has made combating price gouging one of the tentpoles of her economic proposals, vowing to penalize companies “that exploit crises and break the rules.”

    So after she’s done going after Massengill for its price increase on Summer’s Eve douche, what else will Boxcheck Momala do to in order to reduce prices?

    Useless. Clueless. Small wonder Welfare Queen YLB supports her. Because she didn’t melt under @ 6 softball questions from Oprah.

  33. 33

    @32 One thing that doesn’t lower prices for average consumers is more tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires. Tariffs don’t, either.

    If Harris does absolutely nothing to lower prices, her policies still will be better for most Americans than Trump’s policies.

    You, of course, will vote for the higher prices, because you’re a dumbfuck.

  34. 34

    @ 31

    Fat Donny was never going to spend RNC money on anyone but himself.

    Obama was so generous in sharing his OFA money after telling people to donate to OFA instead of the DNC.

    Organizing for Action, the political group that grew out of Obama’s first presidential run, decentralized power from the DNC by building a parallel infrastructure that competed for donors. It was a move that many state party chairs loathed, and in the years since have faulted for Democrats’ losses at the gubernatorial and statehouse level.

    “It wasn’t helpful to the political work that needs to get done in building a bench,” said Stephen Handwerk, executive director of the Louisiana Democratic Party.

    Poll conducted Sep 3-9 wasn’t released until today for some reason.

    It has Trump within the margin of error in Virginia.

    Harris has the support of 47 percent of 756 Virginia likely voters, as compared to 46 percent favoring Trump in the survey, which includes 1,000 adult respondents and was conducted for UMW’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies by Research America Inc. Sept. 3-9. Several third party and independent candidates received a total of four percent support in the poll, while the remaining likely voters said they were undecided.

    A one-point lead when the MOE is 3.1 points is not much at all.

    Trump wouldn’t need NC if he takes VA.

  36. 36

    she didn’t melt under @ 6 softball questions from Oprah.

    Better that than wrinkling her nose at gotcha questions like:

    Q: “How do you respond to asswipe trolls from widbee who call you a ‘boxcheck'”?

    A: (after a bit of nose wrinkling) Oh I call them ‘dipshit assholes’…

    Q: GOTCHA! See that ‘hesitation’????

    Shorter internet troll brigade: Let’s have a war! Elect drumpf (who called Iraq a disaster and wanted to host the Taliban at Camp David.)

    If only drumpf was re-erected. Then the US would still be in Afghanistan (even after negotiating a sweetheart withdrawal) and kreepshit would the happiest camper alive with drumpf pissing away billions in Afghanistan rather than investing in broadband for underserved Americans.

    In a question that asked likely voters only about the major party nominees, the results also remained well within the margin of error: 48 percent favored Harris and 46 preferred Trump.

    drumpf has called Mark Robinson, “MLK on steroids..”

    Given the shit-talk kreepshit has babbled here about Dr. King, the kreepee freek of widbee can only be in total agreement with its beloved orange dear leader.

    The Deep State is attempting to assassinate Trump because he will cause them plenty of trouble if he gets re-elected in November. Trump threatens their existence.

  48. 48

    @34 I’m sure that’s of great comfort to this year’s down-ballot Republicans. You’re a master of irrelevancy.

  49. 49

    @47 As far as I’ve heard, only two deranged individuals, both present or former Trump supporters, and neither employed in government, have tried to assassinate their demigod. This seems to be a family dispute having nothing to do with the state.
