Trump Raves About Size of Arnold Palmer’s Penis: ‘All Man!’

Stephan: 

When I first read about traitor Trump talking about the size of Arnold Palmer’s penis at a campaign rally I thought it could not be true. But it turns out it is true. This is the Republican candidate for President. How is it possible that this dishonest, dishonorable, vulgar scumbag is a candidate for the Presidency and once was President? What kind of country have we become?

Donald Trump rambled his way through the first 15 minutes of his Saturday rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, with a story about the size of golf legend Arnold Palmer’s manhood.

The GOP presidential nominee was in Latrobe, where Palmer was born, as part of a last-minute push to win votes in the battleground state before Election Day. However, the former president said he first “had to say” something about Palmer’s… putter.

“Arnold Palmer was all man,” said Trump, going off script to the delight of his crowd of MAGA fans. “And I say that in all due respect to women, and I love women, but this guy… This is a guy that was all man.”

Teeing up his next comments, Trump took several swings at paying Palmer a compliment.

“This man was strong and tough. And I refused to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros. They came out of there, they said, ‘Oh my God. That’s unbelievable.’ I had to say it.”

He added, “We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man.”

Governor Josh Shapiro: Law enforcement should look at Musk’s million dollar giveaway

Stephan: 

Now the MAGAt Trumpers are openly buying votes, paid for by Trumper oligarch Musk. The Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro thinks law enforcement “should look into” this. I don’t see how anyone can have any question that this is grossly illegal, but the rich in America seem to live under a different legal system. We will see.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said that law enforcement should look into a one million dollar giveaway Elon Musk is doing for Pennsylvanians who sign his super PAC’s petition.

“I think there are real questions with how he is spending money in this race, how the dark money is flowing, not just into Pennsylvania, but apparently now into the pockets of Pennsylvanians,” Shapiro said in an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press.” “That is deeply concerning.”

He later added, “I think it’s something that law enforcement could take a look at. I’m not the attorney general anymore of Pennsylvania. I’m the governor, but it does raise some serious questions.”

Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO who is a strong supporter of Donald Trump, announced Saturday night that anyone who signs onto his super PAC’s “Petition in Favor of Free Speech and the Right to Bear Arms” would be entered in a chance to win one million dollars.

Musk has recently joined Trump at some of his rallies, including a recent revisit to Butler, Pennsylvania. Last week, […]

We Created a Monster: Trump Was a TV Fantasy Invented for ‘The Apprentice’

Stephan: 

Yet, more confirmation that everything about traitor Trump is a lie. It is all a fabricated myth based on no actual substance. Why didn’t John D. Miller come forward with what he knew months, years ago. Miller apologizes but is still an accessory to what is happening in American. And yet millions of Americans are voting for Trump, and for the cult which wants to take their rights away and destroy the United States’ economy. How sad America has become, and how much I hate the trends I see.

I want to apologize to America. I helped create a monster.

For nearly 25 years, I led marketing at NBC and NBCUniversal. I led the team that marketed “The Apprentice,” the reality show that made Donald Trump a household name outside of New York City, where he was better known for overextending his empire and appearing in celebrity gossip columns.

To sell the show, we created the narrative that Trump was a super-successful businessman who lived like royalty. That was the conceit of the show. At the very least, it was a substantial exaggeration; at worst, it created a false narrative by making him seem more successful than he was.

In fact, Trump declared business bankruptcy four times before the show went into production, and at least twice more during his 14 seasons hosting. The imposing board room where he famously fired contestants was a set, because his real boardroom was too old and shabby for TV.

Trump may have been the perfect choice to be the boss of this show, because more successful CEOs were too busy to get involved in reality TV and […]

Trump Campaign Selects 30 Election Deniers to Be Electoral College Electors

Stephan: 

The MAGAt Republican cult is openly trying to rig the election. They are trying to skew the Electoral College. If they can’t do that and traitor Trump loses they are preparing to challenge the outcome. I do not understand why this is not the lead story in publications and on news channels across the country.

An aide holds Wyoming’s Electoral College certificate of votes that were cast for Donald Trump during a joint session of Congress on Thursday, January 7, 2021.

The Trump campaign has selected dozens of election deniers — people who have pushed the repeatedly debunked lie that the 2020 election was “rigged” against Trump — to be included in its slate of electors in swing states this year.

The electors will take part in the Electoral College vote should Trump win in their jurisdictions. Their selection indicates that Trump’s strategy for this year’s election is likely similar to what went down in the 2020 race, when his campaign tried to overturn the results by sending fake electors’ votes to Washington from states that President Joe Biden won.

State parties, oftentimes in coordination with their corresponding presidential candidates, are tasked with selecting potential electors each presidential election cycle. The 30 electors the Trump campaign has chosen represent over a third of the 82 electors in the seven swing states for the 2024 […]

How Fox News became the ‘greatest cancer on democracy’

Stephan: 

Thom Hartmann has put together the best profile of the Murdoch international fascist propaganda operation I have seen. Few Americans seem to recognize just how evil this family and their propaganda pseudo-news scheme are and what a toxic effect they have on multiple nations.

As soon as Vice Presdient Kamala Harris’ interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier began, the two sparred on the topic of immigration — with Harris reminding Baier that the Biden administration fought for a comprehensive border security solution only for former President Donald Trump to work behind the scenes to kill it. Credit: Screengrab | Fox News

We all saw it on Wednesday night. Bret Baier, the multimillionaire supposed “real news” guy at Fox, angrily and rudely lied to the face of the Vice President of the United States and his millions of viewers, presenting an edited version of Trump’s most fascistic remarks that turned truth on its head.

This is just the most recent example of the deadly toxins Fox “News” has been spreading across the American media and political landscape for decades.

The soil in which democracy grows and flourishes is truthful information held as common knowledge by the majority of the population. Lies, when presented as news or as truth-based information, become a poison that severely injures and can even kill […]

The Atlantic Editor-In-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg warns newsroom decay is how ‘democracy decomposes

Stephan: 

Here is an interview with one of the most successful magazine editors in the country, Jeffrey Goldberg, who lays out his views on the decline of journalism in the United States, and what this means for the continuation of the country’s democracy. I agree with Goldberg, and see the decline of fact-based journalism, and the rise of weaponized misinformation operations like fascist Fox propaganda, as one of our major national cancers.

In an industry beset by challenges, The Atlantic is a rare bright spot.

The 167-year-old magazine announced this week that it will expand, bucking the trend among fellow legacy newsrooms. The Laurene Powell Jobs-owned and Jeffrey Goldberg-led publication said it will increase its print magazine to 12 issues, returning to a monthly cadence for the first time since 2002.

The increase comes after The Atlantic announced earlier this year it had surpassed 1 million subscriptions and returned to profitability.

We caught up with Goldberg this week and discussed The Atlantic’s success, its partnership with OpenAI, the 2024 election, and more. Below is the Q&A, lightly edited for clarity.

Why do you think you have been successful in this difficult climate?

We work very hard to produce only highest-quality journalism. Sometimes, we don’t hit the mark, but not for lack of trying. Our operating theory is so simple. The only way to get people to pay for your product is to make a great product, something they […]
