Crowd GASPS when Trump says Indian Kamala "turned Black"
After a controversial appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists, Donald Trump attended a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where his performance was marked by erratic behavior and incoherence. Trump made inflammatory remarks, including a bizarre claim that Senator Chuck Schumer had "become a Palestinian member of Hamas," which left the audience largely silent and unresponsive. His speech continued deteriorating as he made disjointed statements about Kamala Harris, public education, and immigration, losing the crowd's interest. Trump also criticized mask and vaccine mandates in schools, which momentarily roused the audience. The rally highlighted a decline in Trump's coherence and engagement with his supporters, raising questions about his ability to connect with the crowd. Trump appears visibly shaken by Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden, realizing his chances of winning back the White House have declined significantly.
Confused Trump SILENCES audience with terrifying brain glitches
In a recent interview with the National Association of Black Journalists, former President Donald Trump made controversial remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that she "turned black" after previously identifying as Indian. The comments prompted audible gasps from the audience. Harris has a mixed heritage, as she is of both Indian and Jamaican descent. Trump's remarks echoed a common critique that some political figures selectively emphasize certain aspects of their identity for strategic reasons, however, it doesn’t apply in this case, since Harris has always represented herself as a black woman. This was perhaps the worst moment from Trump’s disastrous appearance speaking with black journalists.

OH NO: Election offices FILLED with Trump election deniers!
A recent report from Rolling Stone highlights the growing concern over pro-Trump election deniers holding positions in local election offices across key swing states. These officials, identified as at least 70 individuals, have a history of questioning the validity of election results and, in some instances, outright refused to certify outcomes. This trend raises alarm about the potential for these officials to influence future election results, particularly in critical battleground areas like Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan. Democratic election lawyer Mark Elias expressed concern, emphasizing the need for legal measures to limit the power of these election deniers and protect the integrity of the electoral process. The situation underscores the urgency of public awareness and engagement to ensure that elections remain fair and transparent.

SHOCK (LOL): Trump shooter was lunatic right winger
In a recent congressional hearing, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate revealed new details about the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The shooter, a Republican gun owner's son with pro-Trump signs, was discovered to have a social media presence filled with anti-Semitic, anti-immigration, and politically violent content. Abbate noted that investigators are still verifying whether the account belonged to the shooter, highlighting the extreme nature of the comments. Some right-wing supporters have claimed the shooter was a leftist or part of a staged event, despite providing no evidence supporting this. The incident has sparked political discourse, with some, like Senator John Kennedy, revisiting unrelated past controversies, such as the Peter Strzok and Lisa Page affair. Additionally, a heated exchange occurred between Senator Josh Hawley and Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, where Hawley criticized the response to the security failure. The hearing showcased a mix of concern over political violence and partisan grandstanding.
