Trump said it again! Regarding mass shootings,

he said, "we have to get over it, move forward."

The commenters on tv looked as disgusted as we feel.

ON EDIT: I'm having a difficult time finding the other occasion when he used the "...have to get over it..." phrase.

Is it possible to beat Marjorie Taylor Green?

I'm Retired Brigadier General Shawn Harris, the Democrat challenging Trump’s favorite Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene. If you’re tired of her extremist rhetoric and believe Georgians and Americans deserve better, now is the time to act. Our campaign has all the momentum—we’ve got her on the run.

It’s time to bring service-driven leadership back to Washington. With decades of military experience, I’m committed to delivering real results for Northwest Georgia—unlike MTG, who’s all talk and no action.

Join me in the fight to defeat America’s most dangerous Congressmember. Can you chip in $25 or more to help us reach every voter in the district with our message?

I hope this man can do it. The last opponent, Mike Flowers (?), probably didn't get much DNC help in NW Georgia. Maybe people are tired of her BS

Paramount+ 's Evil final season concludes.

Has anyone else finished the final season? The second-to-last episode didn't do much for me, but the I enjoyed the finale. The writers left open the potential for continuing the series, which I really hope they do. I hope they can keep the opening credits design and music.

Hey, Trumpers! You know she'd really like to do this:

CHICAGO (The Borowitz Report)—In the latest sign that Kamala Harris is expanding her coalition, on Wednesday Melania Trump announced that she will speak on the final night of the Democratic National Convention.

Explaining her decision to speak, Mrs. Trump said, "None of us can stand another four years of Donald Trump."

“I DO care—don’t you?” she added.

Indicating that she planned to steer clear of the personal attacks that have typified the Republican campaign, she said, "When they go worst, we go best."

Melania said she is already contemplating what her life might look like after Donald Trump, adding, “I may get cat.”

Best "Oh Snap!" lines:

Kamala Harris has a resumè. Donald Trump has a rap sheet. -- Crockett

... and his pet chameleon JD Vance -- Raskin

Please add on! Let's collect them.

I was texted a link for a Dynata presidential election survey.

It started pretty balanced, and also asked me what my most important issue was. I was able to comment and elaborate. Then there was a section about immigration with 27 situations or questions and if Trump was able to do those things, how likely would I change my vote to him. I selected "It makes no difference" each time.

I really think this survey was for the trump campaign.

Study: People Exposed to JD Vance Lose All Interest in Procreating

MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report)—A study published by the University of Minnesota Medical School on Friday “strongly indicates” that people who are exposed to Sen. JD Vance lose all interest in activity that would lead to reproduction.

According to Dr. Davis Logsdon, who supervised the study, “Research subjects exposed to JD Vance became less likely to reproduce and more inclined to acquire a cat.”

SNIP --- It gets even more funny.

Could the Trump family’s connections to time travel, esoteric knowledge, and secret societies hold clues to unlocking the mysteries of our past and future?

Snip

In the annals of American presidential history, there is no more peculiar tale than the eerie similarities between former President Donald Trump and a series of novels called, The Baron Trump Collection, penned by the obscure yet seemingly prophetic hand of American lawyer and novelist Ingersoll Lockwood in the late 1800s.
The Trump Code delves into the connections between the Baron Trump novels and the enigmatic Trump family legacy, asking whether this nineteenth-century novelist foresaw the future of not only Trump but America and the world. It also uncovers a web of historical events and divine providence.

As we peel back the layers of history, The Trump Code confronts questions that defy easy answers:
Could this fictional novel hold clues to the upcoming 2024 presidential election, with all its division and chaos?
Is there a divine hand guiding the course of human events, as suggested by the parallels in these novels between fiction and reality?
Or are we witnessing the machinations of darker forces, hinted at by the curious numerology surrounding Lockwood’s name?

I'm loving the Snoop Dogg & Martha Stewart clips!

Tonight, they showed the pair at a 3-star restaurant in Paris. Martha ordered things like paté, escargot, and something else tartar. Snoop wouldn't have anything to do with it!

Then, we saw them dressed in fine equestrian apparel from earlier in the day.

They are the Summer Olympics' answer to Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir.
