    So far this week…

    1. Trump embraces Mark Robinson, a Holocaust-denier who posted on porn message boards that he likes golden showers with his wife’s sister, for governor in North Carolina.
    2. Don Jr. dumps Kim Guilfoyle and is seen kissing a woman 15 years younger than her in a Florida restaurant
    3. Laura Loomer, age 31, spends two days with Trump, says she loves him, and is photographed pressing up against him.
    4. Melania Trump, out of the blue, issues a public statement about why she was a nude model even though nobody asked. She remains AWOL on the campaign trail.
    5. The president of the Teamsters Union refuses to endorse Kamala Harris, who agrees with his union on every major issue, then is completely undercut as thousands of his own members in Pennsylvania, Michigan and other key states endorse her anyway, and Teamsters legend Jimmy Hoffa Jr., calls it a “failure of leadership” and endorses Harris.
    6. A new poll shows Ted Cruz trailing in his Senate race

    Interesting movie. Wonder what happens next week.

    Trump can’t afford to piss off racists. They’re a core Republican demographic in NC.

      Trump needs radicalized paramilitary for his path to victory. Doubling down on all the shitty things that appeal to his base is way more important for him than trying to build broader appeal.

    I choose to interpret this as even prominent Republicans are now willing to admit that trans people are hottt.
