Hello, It’s The Weekend. This Is The Weekender 
Trump’s basic continuity with the GOP that preceded him gets lost in all of his bluster and lack of self-control. Sure, cheating on his wife with a pornstar and trying to stay in power after losing the 2020 election, among other things, get attention. But in some…

I don’t think Mr. Higgins was referring to gum stuck to the bottom of his boot.
I think he was referring to something dog owners sometimes neglect to pick up…

Less than 40 days until the election, thankfully, and things are still looking pretty good for Kamala. We’ve got this as long as we GOTV.

This zombie news site scheme is bizarre because it was simultaneously massive and ambitious while also being incredibly hamfisted. The articles unearthed by TPM are interesting both because they provide a window into the Kremlin’s priorities. They also demonstrate incredibly poor execution.
One story, which painted Ukraine as a backward and struggling place, simply declared America should let Russia have it.
I mean, we already get this from Fox News.

I’m good with stripping the citizenship from terrorists; let’s start with the xtian fundamentalist variety.

Well, Netanyahu’s decision to kill Nasrallah will most likely result in a cooling of tensions in the Middle East. /s

- Emine Yücel checks in on former First Lady Melania Trump, who has been relatively MIA this campaign season. That is, until she reemerged this week to cast her husband as the ultimate “family man.”*

Family man…

These guys need to be kicked to the curb, but there’s really no constitutional way of doing that other than impeachment, which is rare, and in today’s political climate almost impossible.
Nobody ever promised that America has a happy ending.

In this current election cycle I still am trying to figure out/wrap my head around the fact that Republicans couldn’t have stopped Trump in 2015. Trump was/is probably the most flawed and unhinged candidate that they could find, and they couldn’t find a way to stop him? And because of Trump we now have a bunch of immature-Clay Higgins, unprofessional-too many to list, down ballot Republican candidates that have ever been elected to hold a seat in Congress.
And don’t get me started on the rampant misogyny that runs through one of our political parties.

Looking at the crater left by the 2000 pound bomb used to kill Nasrallah I expect there isn’t enough of him left to hold a funeral for.

Or, Hezbollah bombs people, including overseas, who did them no wrong and has it coming.
