Rumor: Trump and Kennedy Thinking About Hooking Up, Vance Would Get Bounce After Unpopular Run

0

Are Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. hooking up?

The rumor of the morning is Kennedy will replace JD Vance as Trump’s Republican running mate.

Kennedy has a 2pm press conference today in Arizona where he’s expected to end his run for the presidency.

Trump has a nearby speaking appearance.

Vance is considered the worst veep candidate in history. His campaign is even more of a joke than Kennedy’s — or Trump’s. He’s managed to alienate everyone from cats to children. He’s such a pariah that Trump makes no appearances with him. Video clips of him criticizing Trump before the nomination are rampant.

Trump and Kennedy have a lot in common. They are lifelong philanderers who have multiple divorces on their resumes. They’ve each been accused of sexual harassment, although Trump has actually been found guilty of the crime.

Both men attract a crowd of extreme right wingers, also, who believe in non existent conspiracies.

If Kennedy does become Trump’s veep, his family will double efforts to denounce him. Nearly all of siblings and cousins have endorsed Joe Bide and now Kamala Harris. Kennedy’s wife, Cheryl Hines, will see the last of her acting career.

So hang on. I’d like to see Coach Walz debate Kennedy right into the ground.

One note to Kennedy: his affairs, and sex diary, will immediately become an issue. One TV actress who appeared on a long running drama may be subject to revelations.

Stay tuned…

Kellyanne Conway Will Let out The Flying Monkeys When She Sees This Picture

George Conway has posted a happy, smiling picture of himself, daughter Claudia, and Nancy Pelosi.

When Claudia’s mother, Kellyanne, see this, she will let out the flying monkeys. She’ll live audition for “Wicked.”

I may frame this.

Trump Explodes with 3 Dozen Angry Social Media Posts During Kamala’s Triumphant, Positive Acceptance Speech

TMZ Struck Out on Beyonce Rumor, Special Guest Was Kamala Harris, Guest of Honor: “Are they out of their minds?” (Full speech)

0

TMZ insisted this evening on Twitter that Beyonce as coming to the DNC.

Don Lemon said George W. Bush was also on his way.

No rumors turned out to be true. The special guest tonight was the guest of honor herself, Kamala Harris, our next president. Her speech was a killer. She has more than risen to the occasion. What a pleasure it will be to have her in office.

When she asks of MAGA, “Are they out of their minds,” there was cheering everywhere. Finally someone said it.

Kennedy Withdraws from Arizona Ballot, Begins to Wind Down Non Existent Campaign

0

Robert Kennedy Jr. has withdrawn from the Arizona ballot.

He’s beginning to wind down his non existent presidential campaign, one that has cost him his extended family and exposed most of the awful things he’s done with his life.

He’s already off the New York ballot after a judge ruled Kennedy lied about living in the Empire State.

Kennedy has completely dishonored his late father, Robert F. Kennedy, and his late uncle, John F. Kennedy. He’s imperiled his wife’ acting career — she’s come across as a dimwit — and threatened to expose more skeletons in his closet, ones that could hurt innocent people.

Now Kennedy will join up with Donald Trump tomorrow after pulling out of the race entirely. He will join a sinking ship, but jump like a rat in about six weeks when things really start to tank.

At least we’re rid of him.

Trump Explodes with 3 Dozen Angry Social Media Posts During Kamala’s Triumphant, Positive Acceptance Speech

0

Donald Trump lost his mind during Kamala Harris’s beautifully crafted, inspiring acceptance speech tonight.

He posted at least 27 times to his Truth Social during the 45 minute speech that tore apart his agenda and offered a way forward for America.

Trump could not contain himself taking credit anything he believed positive, and slinging insults at Harris on every subject from Israel to the economy to Gaza and immigration.

Grasping at straws, he posted: “Where’s Hunter?” He doesn’t seem to know who is running against him.

He wrote:

“Everybody, Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, and Conservatives, wanted Roe v. Wade TERMINATED, and brought back to the States. Like Ronald Reagan and myself, most believe in EXCEPTIONS. Now the people are voting, which is the way it was supposed to be. I do not limit access to birth control or I.V.F. – THAT IS A LIE, these are all false stories that she’s making up, that I’ve never even heard of. It’s just words coming out of her mouth. I TRUST WOMEN, ALSO, AND I WILL KEEP WOMEN SAFE! SHE WON’T, BECAUSE THE INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY AT HER OPEN BORDER IS DESTROYING THE LIVES OF WOMEN, AND THE FAMILIES AND JOBS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS AND HISPANICS.t one example of a rant filled with untruths.”

DNC 3rd Night Ratings Trump RNC by 29% Thanks to All-Star Producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner

0

The Day 2 ratings of the DNC across all platforms again wiped out the numbers from the RNC last month.

Both Days 1 and 2 came in around 20 million.

Last night the ratings were 11.7 million vs RNC third night. That’s a difference of 29%.

Tonight will be off the chart.

This is all thanks to producers Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner. You might know Glenn from a few years ago when he proposed to his then girlfriend during the Emmy Awards.

Ricky is the son famed music producer and publisher Don Kirshner, to whom we really owe thousands of hits from the Brill Building era. Don Kirshner also hosted Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert back in the 70s and 80s. Paul Shaffer played him on “SNL.”

These guys have multiple Emmy Awards for producing all the major awards shows over the years as well the New Year’s Eve special on ABC.

Weiss and Kirshner have made the DNC a joy — a word that you heard about 50 times a night. (I even have a drinking game for “joy.”) This DNC could win a bunch of Emmy Award itself for its authentic feeling of relief and celebration. I’ve been to three DNC’s — 2000, 2004, and 2008 — and none of them had this kind of swagger.

Kudos to this duo for making appointment TV during what is usually the dullest week of the year. And shame on the broadcast networks for not giving them the 8 to 10pm block. Their show is more entertaining than reruns of mediocre programming from earlier in the year.

UPDATE Trailer for Coppola’s “Megalopolis” Pulled by Studio After Quotes Were Fabricated

0

Yesterday I posted the trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s movie, “Megalopolis.”

The trailer opened with quotes from famous reviewers panning “The Godfather.” It was supposed to show that reviewers don’t understand masterpieces when they see them.

It seemed odd, if clever, but there it was. Until Vulture’s Bilge Eibiri went back and looked up the quotes. They were fabricated. They never happened.

Lions Gate immediately pulled the trailer. A Lionsgate spokesperson said in a statement: “Lionsgate is immediately recalling our trailer for Megalopolis. We offer our sincere apologies to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry.”

When I heard this, I thought maybe someone had hacked the trailer. But it turns out it was whoever made the trailer, they thought this was a good idea. Either way, it wasn’t. Coppola must be furious. This movie has already had enough trouble.

‘Megalopolis” opens September 27th with or without a trailer. It does have a poster, of Adam Driver holding either a lamp or a light saber.

Trump Reveals His Antisemitism, Says He’s Done More for Israel “Than Any Other Person,” Attacks “Jewish Governor” Josh Shapiro

0

Yes, Donald Trump is grasping at straws.

While the Democrats flew high tonight at their Convention, Trump went low as usual. He attacked Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro with a backhanded antisemitic swipe in a post on his Truth Social.

Trump also claimed he’d done more for Israel than any other president, or any other person. Again, “any other person.”

It must have really thrown Trump that Tim Walz’s son went to the convention tonight and erupted in tears and applause for his father when he was on stage. Trump’s son, Barron, didn’t even attend his convention or sit through his speech.

Trump must be shaken, too, by the clear signal of family sent by the Democrats this week. The Bidens, the Emhoffs, and the Walzes have shown deep wells of love and compassion for each other and America. The couples are all devoted to each other and their children and vice versa. Trump has an AWOL wife, two divorces, a judgement against him for a sexual attack, and another judgement for covering up an affair with adult porn star.

As for the antisemitism, Trump immediately calls out Shapiro as the “Jewish governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.” This can’t be considered a dog whistle antisemitism. It’s a bugle call. Every Jewish person from Pennsylvania should see this for what it is. Trump hates Jews, particularly as political or business rivals.

As for Trump doing more for Israel “than any other person,” he’s delusional of course. He might be around number 5,000. Let’s just start with Golda Meier, Moshe Dayan, Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Rabin, and so on. Trump has done far less for Israel than millions of American Jews over the last 70 years. So let’s start there.

Trump Says Barron College in “Empire State” — NYU? Or Will He Be Stashed Upstate Somewhere?

0

Donald Trump has just said that son Barron, 18, will be going to college in “the Empire State.”

That means New York, but doesn’t specify which school or where it is.

Will Barron attend New York University? Their freshman orientation begins at the end of the week.

Or does it mean somewhere upstate? Syracuse maybe? Or a small liberal arts school?

It’s hard to imagine Barron bunking in a college dorm room, unless it’s very posh. For one thing, at six foot seven he’d need a custom bed.

If he is going to NYU, then he could live at home in Trump Tower with his mother, and be close to his other home in Bedminster, New Jersey. That would make the most sense, although his presence in Washington Square would create a traffic and security nightmare.

New York also seems an odd choice for the son of avowed conservative who hates the city and everyone in it. Trump just sent a veiled threat to Gov. Kathy Hochul on social media today. He said he was most offended by her comments last night at the DNC. You’d think he’d want Gov. Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams to be on his side if his son is going to under public scrutiny in their town.

What about a liberal arts college upstate? It’s hard to imagine Barron going anywhere with the word ‘liberal’ involved. Having only gone to schools for rich white kids, he would have to adjust to accept a wide variety of people who would never be invited to Mar-a-Lago. That would be a jolting change to his life.

So we’ll wait and see where young Barron begins his formal education.

Trump Posts Veiled Threat Against NY Governor Hochul, Warns What Will Happen If He’s Re-elected

0

In a post that seems like a veiled threat, Donald Trump goes after NY Governor Kathy Hochul this morning.

He warns that she was the worst person who spoke last night during the DNC. He says should be nicer considering he might be president again. He also claims to have paid a lot of taxes (this is not true). Also that’s he’s built so many great buildings. (Actually, others including the Chinese did. His name is off most of those buildings. Trump Tower and Trump Plaza were there before he got to them.)

Trump, in what seems like a bit from “SNL,” refers to himself as “your favorite president, me.” James Austin Johnson must be LOL.

But the threat: “the very distinct possibility I will win the Presidency, wouldn’t it be better for the people of New York State to have a Governor who got along with the President? Adversarial relationships are not good in politics”

I;m sure Hochul is shaking in her boots.
