If you caught even a few seconds of the RNC convention and you thought it was really monochromatic, that’s because it was. According to this report, 97% of the people attending the convention were white:

So how did the 2024 convention in Milwaukee stack up? Only slightly better.

Only 1,780 of 2,429 RNC delegates reported their ethnicity, according to convention officials. Of that number, 55 delegates said they were Black — representing 3% of the those who provided this demographic information.

That number, while still very small, is up from 2016 when only 18 delegates reported that they were Black — less than 1% of the total. That was the smallest share of Black delegates in an RNC crowd in perhaps a hundred years.

By contrast, the peak year came in 2004, during the reelection effort for George W. Bush, according to the Washington Post. That year, nearly 7% of the Republican delegates were Black.

Overall, Blacks make up about 14.4% of the American population, according to the Pew Research Center.

Now compare that to the 2016 DNC convention where they had 1,182 Black delegates in attendance.

It’s pretty safe to say that the Republican’s boasts of having a big tent and making great inroads with the Black community was highly exaggerated, to the point of lying. But really, does anyone expect any different. Lying is what Republicans do.

I love it when Democrats turn around right-wing attacks and go on offense.

During Karine Jean-Pierre’s Thursday press briefing, Fox News’ Peter Doocy tried a gotcha with the right-wing talking point about Vice President Kamala Harris being some kind of failed border czar. The truth is, she was never a “border czar,” was never assigned to work on or at the border but was put in charge of a diplomatic effort with Latin American countries to deal with root causes of migration.

After reading what appeared to be a White House statement that there has never been a border czar in the Biden administration, Doocy tried a different vehicle for the same attack: “Why are Democrats so sensitive about the vice president and the border?” he asked. As if the administration should not correct the record and allow false smears against Harris to stand.

Jean-Pierre handled it magnificently. Instead of explaining, she turned the question around and put the focus where it belong. “Why are Republicans so sensitive about actually not owning up to them getting in the way of a border deal?” she asked. “Why won’t they own up to that? Why won’t they own up to the last president told them not to move forward? It was a bipartisan deal on – just right there, available to them, and they voted twice against it.”

KJP is 100% right about the disingenuousness of right-wing border concerns, given the fact that they preferred to obey Trump rather than to do their actual job.

The “border czar” BS is a dog whistle akin to the “DEI hire” dog whistle, except that instead of suggesting that Harris was somehow awarded her job without deserving it, the suggestion is that she proved herself unworthy because she let in all those brown “rapists and killers” Trump fearmongers are streaming through our border.

The Marsh family from Kent, England started doing their song parodies during the COVID lockdown, giving the entire family something to do together. Four years on, they’re still doing them. And this recent one is one of their best. As they say in their blurb, “Here’s our less-than-impressed profile of yet another populist politician with highly flexible morality, worrying contempt for democratic process and discourse, but big funding and a big mouth who’s happy to tap into ordinary people’s fears while claiming to be an example of their dreams.”

Enjoy.

Marsh Family:

Dancing Queen, the magnificent pop anthem by ABBA, was written by the usual team of Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson, and released in the (then) very hot summer of 1976. The original song is built around the ‘wall of sound’ concept with ridiculous numbers of layers, flourishes, and instrumentation, and packed with harmonies and grooves. But we decided to try it with just two guitars, drums, and three voices on the hottest day of the year so far. Hopefully, it turned out recognisable and a little bit distinctive – the girls doing a great job with harmonies and some moves! It is a profoundly European dance track that brings people together, a consistent winner, true to the vibe, and (ridiculously) it turned out to be ABBA’s only number-one hit in the USA.

We chose for the parody subject matter the official approval at the convention this week of JD Vance as Donald Trump’s running mate for the presidential ticket for the Republican Party. It’s probably fair to say that Vance is very little known on this side of the pond – hence the need for some additional info and graphics on this video – but he made an ill-advised splash in our world by mouthing off about the UK, pretending a concern about nuclear proliferation (when for a long time he’s been helping facilitate Putin’s aggression) and half-jokingly describing the UK as an “Islamist country”. This prompted politicians from across the spectrum to condemn his comments – on which you can find details here.

So since he dished it out, and since – for obvious (but different) reasons – now is not an appropriate moment for a song about either Trump or Biden, here’s our less-than-impressed profile of yet another populist politician with highly flexible morality, worrying contempt for democratic process and discourse, but big funding and a big mouth who’s happy to tap into ordinary people’s fears while claiming to be an example of their dreams.

Fox News’s Jesse Watters finally understood why Democratic voters are so enthusiastic about Kamala Harris keeping the keys to the White House far away from Donald Trump. We give kudos when someone is correct, and Watters finally got it. It took him a while, though. We’re so proud of you, Jesse.

“But I don’t know, they like the fact that this is a young black woman squaring off against an old white guy,” he said. “They like that she’s going to all just talk about abortion.”

“And they like the fact that she was a prosecutor and he’s a felon,” he added while Ben Shapiro nodded in agreement with his super fabulous eyebrows. “They like that framing.”

That’s exactly right. And coming from the law and order party, it took him a minute to realize that we don’t want a criminal getting the coveted keys to the White House again.

Xitter users agree with Jesse.

Trump was unfit to occupy the highest seat in the land in 2016, and now he’s getting even worse with his rants about sharks, electrocution, toilet flushes, and lies about the 2020 race that he lost to Joe Biden. And now, we have a candidate who is young enough to be Lumpy’s daughter and has experience facing criminals. That sounds like a good reason to cast our votes for Harris in November. And about abortion — have you noticed that Republicans stopped talking about that? I wonder why.

At the beginning of Trump’s North Carolina rally, RSBN co-host Nikki Stanzione attacked VP Kamala Harris for not being a real Black, Indian, and Jamaican women because she married a white man.

Stanzione began a few hours earlier by congratulating diminished Donald on the crowd size. She claimed the MAGA movement is diverse. Isn’t that a dirty word in MAGA land, Nikki?

Two hours in, she let loose with something she probably worked on all night. And it was heinous.

Stanzione: Right, and you know, when you get excited about something new or something different, which is what I think is happening right now on the other side, there’s a lot of people they see, oh, Joe Biden’s out, Kamala Harris, and oh, a female, right, a minority, all of these things.

I do want to also remember something, though, because as she continues to run as a woman who is, she’s been very against the greatest threat to democracy being a white male, right?

She’s talked about that over the years.

I don’t have the exact quotes, but I’m sure if you’ve watched the news over the years, you’ve heard them say white supremacy is one of the greatest threats to our democracy, which of course, we know that that is not the truth.

And her husband is a white man.

Her mother is, I believe, Indian, and her father is Jamaican.

So for all of you out there who are saying, well, finally, we have somebody like us, all of our friends and fabulous black Americans and African Americans, remember something.

She’s not one of you.

She’s not even married to one of you.

This sick person used the trope that Vice President Kamala Harris is an other. Not American, not a minority. Not a woman in good standing.

These people are crude, lewd and disgusting. And wrong.

Kamala Harris’s first campaign ad is thoughtful, strong, and inspiring. Donald Trump could never inspire the masses. Instead, he plays to his lint-licking fire-breathing base, while Harris is for the people. Harris used Beyoncé’s 2016 hit “Freedom” from the critically acclaimed album Lemonade for the video, with permission, of course. That’s another thing the felon doesn’t do. He uses people’s music without consent. That’s called stealing.

In the video, Harris says, “In this election, we each face a question: What kind of country do we want to live in?” as the camera shows her supporters, then cuts to Donald Trump speaking at a rally.

“There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate. But us, we choose something different,” Harris says. “We choose freedom.”

“Freedom to not just get by, but get ahead, she continues. “The freedom to be safe from gun violence. The freedom to make decisions about your own body. We choose a future where no child lives in poverty.”

“Where we can all afford health care,” she says. “Where no one is above the law. We believe in the promise of America, and we’re ready to fight for it because when we fight, we win.”

How much Ketchup do you think is being thrown at the walls of Mar-a-Lago right now?

Jennifer Aniston has entered the 2024 election news cycle to call out former President Trump’s running mate — “Hillbilly Elegy” author and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance — over his remarks about people who haven’t borne children.

The Emmy-winning “Friends” star on Wednesday shared her disbelief over a resurfaced clip of the GOP nominee for vice president, who in 2021 likened Democrats like Vice President Kamala Harris to “childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made.” Vance said, “They want to make the rest of the country miserable too.”

Posting a tweet about the clip on her Instagram Story, the actor wrote: “I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States.”

“The Morning Show” star, who opened up about her infertility struggles in 2022, then directed her comments to Vance himself while alluding to the Republican Party’s support of personhood laws that would affect access to abortion, in vitro fertilization procedures and certain types of contraception.

“All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day,” she wrote. “I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too.”

A representative for Aniston had no further comment when reached by The Times.

The senator from Ohio, 39, was a candidate for the U.S. Congress when he made the remarks in 2021 on former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s show, but the clip has made the rounds on social media recently in the wake of Trump tapping his onetime critic as his VP pick at the Republican National Convention last week.

“It’s just a basic fact — you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC — the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children. And how does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?” Vance told Carlson.

After taking aim at Vance, Aniston, 55, appeared to endorse Harris, who stepped into the race Sunday after President Biden heeded widespread calls to drop out of the election. She reposted a 2018 video from fellow actor Allison Janney showing the former prosecutor and senator grilling Justice Brett Kavanaugh, then a Supreme Court nominee, on abortion rights.

In a 2022 interview, Aniston provided rare insight into her attempts at parenthood and how the media scrutinized her about not having children during her high-profile marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.

“I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,” she told Allure. “All the years and years and years of speculation. … It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it. I would’ve given anything if someone had said to me, ‘Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favor.’ You just don’t think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.”

Aniston said that the media painfully branded her as “selfish” and someone who “just cared about her career.”

“God forbid a woman is successful and doesn’t have a child,” she said. “And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn’t give him a kid. It was absolute lies.”

Meanwhile, Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff and Ella’s mother, Kerstin Emhoff, came to Harris’ defense.

Ella Emhoff posted a statement her mother had given to CNN on her Instagram Story on Thursday. In it, Kerstin Emhoff called the “childless” claims against Harris “baseless” and praised Harris as a “co-parent” to her two children with Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff.

“She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present,” the statement said.

Ella Emhoff added: “How can you be ‘childless’ when you have cutie pie kids like cole and I. @kemhoff say it louder for the people in the back… I love my three parents.”

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump entered a new phase of the presidential race on the morning after an Oval Office speech in which President Biden bowed out — each taking new aim at the other as they sprint toward November.

During a Thursday morning conversation on the Republican-friendly “Fox and Friends,” Trump called Harris a worse candidate than Biden and a “San Francisco radical” who would take the country to a new low if elected.

“She’s the most radical person probably that we’ve had in office,” Trump said, “let alone the office of the presidency.”

Harris, in a speech before the American Federation of Teachers in Houston, cast the choice before voters as one between moving backward or forward and Trump’s agenda as a dangerous one — including for unionized workers like those before her.

“We are fighting for the future,” she said. “In our vision of the future, we see a place where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead.”

Harris also released her first campaign ad, which featured a similarly forward-looking tone — and got a boost from Beyoncé, who gave permission to the Harris campaign to use her song “Freedom,” according to CNN.

“In this election we each face a question: What kind of country do we want to live in?” Harris says at the start of the ad.

“There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate,” she says, over an image of Trump. “But us? We choose something different. We choose freedom.”

The two candidates’ remarks Thursday expanded on themes they had already been striking in recent days, as Harris made quick work of shoring up support to officially become the Democrats’ candidate for president.

But Harris and Trump also aimed to punch back at new lines of attack from the opposing camp — as well as old ones resurfacing from the past. Across the country, surrogates and supporters for each candidate tried to do the same.

In one resurfaced video, Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, of Ohio, called Harris and other Democratic leaders “childless cat ladies” who “don’t really have a direct stake” in the future of the country because they don’t have children.

Women across the internet responded angrily. Kerstin Emhoff, the ex-wife of Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, defended Harris as well, pointing out that Harris has been a co-parent to her and the second gentleman’s two children.

“These are baseless attacks. For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I,” Kerstin Emhoff said. “She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective and always present. I love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it.”

The tone Thursday was one more commonly felt in much earlier days of a presidential contest, but such is the impact of the seismic shift in the race caused by Biden’s late exit.

Trump and his campaign were recalibrating their message to better and more specifically take shots at Harris. Harris and her campaign were seeing a flood of fresh enthusiasm and trying to take advantage of it. Both campaigns were trialing new ideas to see what might best stick, what would resonate with their bases, what would draw rally cheers and social media likes and engagement.

On “Fox and Friends,” Trump ridiculed Biden’s Wednesday evening speech as “terrible,” and said Biden “looked like he was having problems.”

Though some Republican leaders have said the 81-year-old Biden should resign because he’s unable to fulfill his duties, Trump said he didn’t believe Biden should be removed from office, as there is “not long to go” before the election, and because “if he goes, she then takes over, and she’s worse than he is.”

In recent days, Harris and her backers have touted her experience as a prosecutor — a former San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general. Trump on Thursday suggested, without evidence, that Harris somehow had a hand in the various criminal cases against him.

“They’ve weaponized the justice system against me,” Trump said. “They push all these cases on me, they’re the ones that start it, and then they say, ‘I’m a prosecutor, he’s a criminal.’ They’re the ones, every case is started by them.”

Trump has been charged with multiple crimes for allegedly taking classified documents home with him after leaving the White House and then trying to cover it up, and encouraging his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Those cases were spearheaded by a special counsel.

Separately, he was criminally convicted of 34 felonies — in a case brought by New York prosecutors — for falsifying business records to hide paying hush money to a porn actress alleging she’d had an affair with him, which he has denied. He faces separate charges of trying to subvert the election in Georgia, which were filed by prosecutors there.

Harris, in contrast, began her speech before the teachers union by praising Biden’s speech and his work for the country. Saying “I revere this office, but I love my country more,” Biden said he was passing the torch to another generation of leaders to defeat Trump.

“He showed once again what true leadership looks like,” she said. “He really did. His words were poignant.”

She also tried to hit on major policy goals that she would take up and continue from the current administration — such as affordable healthcare, forgiving student loans, passing gun control measures and backing unionized labor.

“We are in a fight for our most fundamental freedoms,” Harris said. “And to this room of leaders I say: Bring it on.”

Both candidates also commented on protesters who on Wednesday set ablaze an American flag at Union Station in Washington in protest of a speech before Congress by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — whose country is conducting a brutal war against Hamas that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and leveled much of Gaza.

Again, their messages diverged.

In a statement, Harris described “despicable acts by unpatriotic protesters and dangerous hate-fueled rhetoric,” and condemned the burning of the flag.

“That flag is a symbol of our highest ideals as a nation and represents the promise of America. It should never be desecrated in that way,” Harris said. “I support the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: Antisemitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation.”

Trump said anyone who does “anything to desecrate” an American flag should be thrown in jail for a year.

“Now people will say, ‘Oh, it’s unconstitutional.’ Those are stupid people,” he said.

He suggested that, on such issues, the U.S. could learn from strongman leaders in other countries.

“All over the world — Putin and President Xi of China — all over the world they’re watching this. Kim Jong Un, he looks at us like we’re a bunch of babies,” Trump said. “That wouldn’t happen in their countries. It’s impossible for that to happen in their country.”

As Vice President Kamala Harris consolidates support among Democrats to become the party’s 2024 presidential nominee, a key question dominates the political conversation: Who would be her running mate?

There is widespread consensus that Harris, of Jamaican and Indian descent, would pick a straight, white man — a strategic move in a nation that has never elected a woman, much less a woman of color, as its leader.

Among the elected officials reportedly in contention are Govs. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Roy Cooper of North Carolina, and Andy Beshear of Kentucky, as well as Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly.

Some have mentioned the prospect of Harris selecting California Gov. Gavin Newsom as her No. 2, but the 12th Amendment of the Constitution prohibits running mates from residing in the same state. And the imagery of two leaders whose political careers were forged in San Francisco would provide unending fodder for conservatives who have long used the city as shorthand for liberal policies leading to dysfunction and disaster.

The timeline for Harris to make her selection is short — the Democratic National Convention begins in less than four weeks in Chicago. The strategic calculation for her pick is also different than in traditional presidential campaigns, when candidates often select a running mate to shore up weaknesses in their resumes.

In 2008, Democrat Barack Obama — a relatively inexperienced senator from Illinois — chose Joe Biden because of the veteran Delaware senator’s foreign policy chops. In the same contest, then-Sen. John McCain of Arizona chose Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in an effort to appeal to women and the non-establishment wing of the GOP, and place a younger politician on the ticket.

But President Biden’s announcement Sunday that he would not seek reelection has thrown historical electoral norms out the window and created an unprecedented moment in American politics.

“Sometimes people think about these picks as a way to unify the party and its different wings,” said Thad Kousser, a political science professor at UC San Diego. “I don’t think there are any wings of the [Democratic] Party right now other than the beating-Donald-Trump wing. I think the choice will be all about electability.”

Each of the men mentioned as the top possible ticket mates offers potential upsides — as well as liabilities.

Shapiro, viewed as a top contender, is the governor of a state that is critical for Democrats’ path to winning the White House. Though he has been Pennsylvania’s chief executive for less than two years, the 51-year-old is regarded as a skilled orator and a politician who seeks out bipartisan consensus.

On Tuesday, Shapiro told reporters he had not been asked to submit vetting documents to Harris’ campaign.

“The vice president should make that decision free from any political pressure,” he said, according to the CBS affiliate in Philadelphia. “It’s her decision to make. She’ll make it on the timeline that she so chooses.”

Some political observers have questioned whether having Shapiro, who is Jewish, on the ticket could harm Harris’ chances of winning in the critical swing state of Michigan, which has a significant number of Muslim American voters, as well as among progressive voters who have been critical of Democrats’ approach to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Shapiro is a strong supporter of Israel but has been critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership, even before Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on the country.

Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, a Los Angeles-based entertainment attorney, is also Jewish, so some argue that voters who are concerned about Harris’ views on the war are already unlikely to vote for her.

Kelly — a former astronaut and the husband of Gabrielle Giffords, a former House member who was gravely wounded in an assassination attempt in 2011 — is also viewed as a top prospect to be Harris’ running mate. Arizona, once a reliably Republican state, is now a battleground that narrowly supported Biden over Trump in 2020 but backed Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The day after Biden’s disastrous June debate with Trump, which prompted a drumbeat of calls for the president to end his reelection bid, Harris appeared with Kelly in Las Vegas — in the battleground state of Nevada — and lauded his service to the nation.

Kelly focused on the Western states’ similarities, notably their Latino populations.

Nevada and Arizona “are going to play a very large part in the role of determining the direction of this country,” Kelly said, according to the Arizona Republic. “So, that’s why I’m here. Because Nevada, Arizona and our country face a choice, a choice between continuing the progress we are making or going backwards.”

Kelly also faces obstacles, including Democratic concerns about holding onto a Senate seat in a state that appears to be leaning increasingly to the right at a time when the chamber is narrowly divided.

Additionally, labor leaders who have largely lined up behind Harris’ candidacy are alarmed by Kelly’s lack of support for the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, federal legislation that would expand unions’ ability to organize and collectively bargain, weaken states’ “right-to-work” laws and otherwise empower labor. On Wednesday, Kelly told the Huffington Post that he supports the legislation.

Cooper of North Carolina and Beshear of Kentucky are not from states that are likely to back Harris in the November election, but they are governors who have shown an ability to win conservative voters. If Harris were to select either of them, it may be viewed as an effort to appeal to moderate voters who could be pivotal in swing states in the November election.

Harris is close with Cooper from their days as attorneys general in their respective states. And while North Carolina is viewed as a GOP state, the former Sunday school teacher has repeatedly won statewide elections there.

Cooper has demurred when asked if he would seek to be Harris’ running mate.

“I appreciate people talking about me,” he said Monday on MSNBC. “But I think the focus right now needs to be on [Harris] this week.”

Beshear has also proved his ability to appeal to GOP voters, and his critique of Trump’s vice presidential nominee — Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, who has played up his Appalachian roots and family ties to Kentucky — has been blistering.

“He ain’t from here,” Beshear told the Associated Press this week.

Vance’s political career was founded on his 2016 book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” a bestseller that some argue captured the struggles of rural Americans while others counter that it was grounded in stereotypical tropes that failed to note the historic exploitation of Appalachians.

“You don’t get to just come in eastern Kentucky a couple of times in the summer and then maybe for weddings and a funeral and cast judgment on us,” Beshear said Monday. “It’s offensive.”

Asked whether he wanted to become Harris’ running mate, the Kentucky governor didn’t directly respond, saying that he planned to serve the rest of his term.

“The only way that wouldn’t happen is if I have an opportunity to help Kentuckians in a different way that would bring additional value,” he said.

These names are among roughly a dozen that are being considered, according to a CBS news report on Wednesday. Others reportedly being eyed are Govs. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and Tim Walz of Minnesota, as well as Biden Cabinet members Gina Raimondo, the secretary of Commerce, and Pete Buttigieg, the secretary of Transportation.

Some liberal strategists urged Harris to be bold and dispense with the conventional wisdom that it would be politically unwise to select a woman, a person of color or someone from the LGBTQ+ community.

“It is time that we think outside of the box that we have allowed to define what makes a winning presidential ticket. The traditional, straight Christian white man as the epitome of American leadership can no longer be the default,” LaTosha Brown, the co-founder of Black Voters Matter, said in a statement.

“Straight white men have never been able to save this nation by themselves. While they have been the face of political leadership for decades, America has never moved forward without the prodding, pushing and creative leadership of a diverse group of Americans, particularly women and communities of color,” Brown said. “Our nominees should reflect this truth.”

Trump joined Fox and Friends today and when asked what he plans to do about early voting he said he already has the votes, but he has lawyers in every polling place to intimidate voters anyway.

I think it’s hard to follow his reasoning? Co-host Lawrence Jones asked the final question.

“Mr. President, real quickly, is there a plan, though, for when it comes to early voting and ballot harvesting, the legal way, since the Democrats have made it legal, is there a plan for the Republicans to get out there, door knock and get those ballots?” he asked.

“We have a tremendous group of people, thousands, tens of thousands of people all over the country,” Trump said. “We have poll watchers, the likes of which we’ve never had before.”

That would be called election intimidation and interference.

Trump then continued promoting his BIG LIE

Whether you like it or not, they cheat on elections. They cheat. That’s what they do the best. They’re no good at policy.

They’re no good on the border. They’re no good with the economy.

But they cheat like hell. That’s what they’re good at. We have lawyers at every poll booth.

Democrats don’t cheat at elections, but Republicans lie about them when they lose. As for the economy, it grew a whopping 2.8% in the second quarter which beat all predictions.

There were roughly 116,990 polling places in America as of 2016. How is Trump paying them? He lies when he says he has lawyers at every one. But that’s what a serial liar does. Lie, lie, lie.

Trump then gave his voters strict instructions on what to do next.

“We have that’s what I in fact, my instruction,” he said. “We don’t need the votes. I have so many votes.“

Who knew the country already held the general election and Trump won?

Is the cockwobbler having daytime delusions on the airwaves of Fox News? Why isn’t anyone inquiring as to his cognitive abilities? Or is he so confident because he’s counting on cheating to win?

Like a broken record or sputtering brain impaired man who repeats the same things over and over again, Trump claimed he did better in the second election that he lost by almost 8 million votes than he did in the first.

MAGA stay home on Election Day and don’t vote early. STOP. Those are Trump’s orders FULL STOP.

UPDATE: Kamala Harris’ rapid response team has one question: Is Donald Trump ok? Here’s the whole thing. They are not holding back.
