Trump is sticking with the “Black NAZI”
Today’s Big Stuff. September 21, 2024. Weekend Edition.
It’s Saturday. There are 45 days until the general election. (Has early voting started in your state?) Georgia Republicans are on their coup poo, Trump is sticking with the “Black NAZI” and MVP takes a critical message to Georgia.
Be advised: This newsletter uses profanity. It also has way too many fucking typos.
Note: Happy Saturday, SPs. We know you’re out there kicking ass for democracy, so we won’t take up too much of your time. We just wanted to say thank you for all that you’re doing to save democracy and elect Kamala Harris. We also wanted to give you a little script to use in case you happen to come upon an undecided voter…
Hi, I’m USE YOUR NAME. Isn’t it a beautiful day? Do you have a second to talk about the 2024 presidential election? Oh great! So do you know who you’re voting for? You don’t?! How the fuck is that even possible?! Are you stupid? Did you just land on this planet or do you walk around with your empty head permanently stuck up your own ass? Ok fine that’s a decent excuse, but seriously do you live under a rock?! Yeah, I get it. I’m busy too. But you know that one of these people is a rapist, a convict and a traitor who attacked our Capitol and injured more than 140 troops and wants to be a dictator, right? Didn’t know that either, huh? Well fuck me. Look, buddy, I’m not gonna tell you what to do, but you need to get your shit together and read some damn news. And none of that right-wing alternative reality bullshit. Actual news. And then you need to go vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Because they’re good people who are going to help Americans. And your lost ass needs all the help you can get. No, it’s ok. Just do better. Alright, buddy. I’m sorry I got so mad. Ok, man. You take it easy.
See? Simple enough, right? Ok fine so maybe you should try to hide your shock and disgust a little better than that script does, but something similar should work. Y’all have a blessed day.
Note two: The Harris campaign dropped an ad on Mark Robinson and North Carolina yesterday. It’s brutal and perfect.
Note three: More than 20 election officials received suspicious packages this week. This week! Maybe we should be talking more about Trump’s terrorism. Or would that be too biased? More: CNN
Note four: We haven’t mentioned this nearly enough but Trump’s dumbass social media company has totally cratered. It might be the only stock on the planet losing money at this point. It’s like Trump steaks but you can’t eat it. So it’s exactly like Trump steaks. More: New Republic
Note five: There is literally nothing we can tell from this except people are excited to be voting. We like to think that’s good news for us, but we know Trump can sure turn out the dumbshits too. More: Twitter
Note six: Keep your fingers crossed, knock on wood and say a dang prayer because as of right now it looks like Nebraska Republicans and Trump have the votes to fuck with how the state awards its electoral votes. Let’s hope it stays that way. More: USA Today
Note seven: Jolly Dingusdance (JD) Vance has been lying about crime being higher in Springfield because of Haitians living there. So yeah, add it to the goddamn list. More: CNN
Note eight: Earlier this week we showed y’all video of Sen. John Kennedy being a racist monster toward Maya Berry. HuffPo did a follow-up story that’s worth your time. But it will piss you off. More: Huff Post
Note nine: Dawn Roberts, the Iowa state co-chair for Nikki Haley, has endorsed Kamala Harris. How many other Republican women are doing the same and why? More: Bleeding Heartland
Note 10: Oh right. This is why. “YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION.” Yikes. Serious serial killer vibes, dude. He followed up this morning by calling Stephanie Ruhle a “bimbo.”
Coup O’clock
The Trump coup is starting early this year. Yesterday in Georgia, the members who are election-denying cultists changed the way Georgia counts ballots, requiring hand counts and basically setting up a catastrophe. Trump wants a delay in counting so he can claim victory before all the votes are in. It’s really obvious and really illegal and even Republicans in the state think it will be overturned in court. But still, this is pretty insane, and it sure seems like this stuff is getting worse and not better. More: NBC News
Don and Mark
Trump is sticking with the Black Nazi who likes to get peed on and cheat on his wife with his sister. And now that we’ve written it out, it actually makes a lot of sense. Mark Robinson is Trump’s kinda guy. Just a total freak who absolutely despises women. And like Robinson, Trump is gonna lose because he’s gross and people are sick of this shit. But wow. Trump, Vance and the North Carolina GOP are all sticking with their endorsements of this guy. Seems like good news for the blue team. More: NBC News
Thank you!!!
Yesterday Kamala Harris brought the truth and the heat and the light to Georgia. In a powerful speech about the late Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, Harris connected the dots between the two women’s preventable deaths to Trump’s abortion bans. Both women died after suffering complications from the abortion pill and being refused treatment by doctors who were fearful of breaking the law and going to jail. Miller didn’t even go to the doctor. She died at home. Harris blasted Trump for repeatedly claiming that “everybody” wanted Roe v. Wade overturned, and she made clear she is in the fight for reproductive rights. The whole speech is worth watching if you get a chance. This is THE issue. And we’ve got the right fighter. Full 10 minute video, Kamala HQ on Twitter.

Note 6 seems to be missing the word "don't". They don't have the votes to change how electoral votes are awarded. It gets hectic I'm sure, but proofreading is our friend!
I voted on day one in the fourth largest county by population in VA. It’s considered purple. Haven’t heard the final numbers, but there was a very large, obviously mostly Democratic crowd there when I voted, which apparently continued throughout the day. It felt like a family reunion.
