Mark Zuckerberg Calls Donald Trump 'Badass' Without Endorsing for President - Bloomberg - "Mark Zuckerberg said that former President Donald Trump’s immediate reaction after being shot was “badass” and inspiring, and helps explain his appeal to voters... Zuckerberg, 40, declined to endorse Trump or his presumed opponent, President Joe Biden, adding that he’s “not planning” to be involved in the election in any way. Still, his comments add to a growing chorus of Silicon Valley leaders, including Tesla Inc. billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, who are warming to the former president, some pledging donations to his campaign. Zuckerberg made the comments during a wide-ranging discussion about the future of AI, social media and more for The Circuit with Emily Chang. Zuckerberg said Meta is making changes that he hopes will mean Facebook is not as much of a flashpoint in elections going forward. “The main thing that I hear from people is that they actually want to see less political content on our services because they come to our services to connect with people.” Meta is already recommending less political content to its users, he added. “I think you’re going to see our services play less of a role in this election than they have in the past.”... When asked if he thought TikTok should be banned, Zuckerberg demurred. “That’s above my pay grade,” he said."
Clint Russell on X - "So here's how it works: The media spends years refusing to cover Trump's speaking events. They cut away mid-speech and describe it as "protecting their viewers from misinformation." Then, suddenly, there is a Trump event that gets covered by the major news outlets. Coincidentally, he it shot at 8 times and miraculously survives. Worse, he responds to the attack in legendary fashion and pumps his fist as blood streams down his face. Probably the most incredible political photo in modern American history gets taken. Does the media run it 24/7 for months like they would've had an attack on Biden or Obama occurred? No. They bury it. Is there a years long "national dialogue about political violence and the dangers of the radical left"? No. Zero. In 14 days, the story is wiped from the headlines. Google suppresses all searches. Newspapers don't run the photo, stating openly that it makes him look too heroic. In just two weeks, it is like it never happened. So what can we conclude? Well, for one, the entire corporate media sphere works directly for the federal government and by "federal government" I mean the democrats or the establishment or the intel community. Take your pick. But you already knew that. The conclusion, or oddity, that I can't get past: You had a media blackout on Trump ever since J6. You've basically gone back to the blackout protocol over the past two weeks. So...why, how etc. Did you, the corporate news, decide to cover this one particular Trump event where he just so happened to come one inch from death? Inquiring minds would like to know"
Texts show Thomas Matthew Crooks was on authorities' radar 90 minutes before shooting: report - "Would-be Donald Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks landed on authorities’ radar more than 90 minutes before he opened fire at the former president’s Pennsylvania campaign rally — roughly a half-hour more than what officials previously claimed — according to newly released text messages... Crooks, 20, was aware of the law enforcement presence as he prepared his assassination attempt on the GOP nominee... One of the counter-snipers took photos of him and shared them in a group chat around 5:38 p.m. An officer also wrote in a text that they should tell the Secret Service about the suspicious person as the range finder he had on him alarmed authorities... The photos were shared with the Secret Service through a series of steps at the command center"

There’s no mention of Trump even when the entire search term “the assassination attempt of” is typed into the Google homepage search bar... Even the keywords “Trump assassination attempt” yielded no additional terms from Google. The Post was able to recreate the alleged anomaly and found Autocomplete did not suggest searches related to the assassination attempt against former President Trump even when inputted in full."

Thread by @Musa_alGharbi on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Back in @GuardianUS for a piece looking at the racial dynamics of #Election2024. tldr: polls show Trump poised to take home roughly 20 percent of the black vote. That probably won't happen. But @TheDemocrats *will* likely see continued losses with black voters. Which may be offset with gains among whites. 🧵
Let's start by disabusing readers of one storyline about why the @GOP is unlikely to receive the black vote share that current polling suggests: Kamala's race. In truth, black voters have been really tepid on Harris. This was clear in the 2020 primaries, in the 2020 general election, and in contemporary polling. Black voters have not shifted towards Democrats any more than any other block has since Biden dropped out. They might've shifted a bit *less.* This is a bit of a tangent (not covered in the article), but here, I think people learned the wrong lessons from the election of @BarackObama. Yes, he won a higher share of the black vote than typical (), but not because AAs were going to vote based on race. It was because his campaign inspired lots of irregular voters to the polls. And at the time, irregular voters favored Democrats, and irregular voters have always been disproportionately black, so mobilizing irregular voters led to a higher black vote share.
Black voters turned out, not because of Obama's race, but because his "hope and change" policies on economic fairness, turning the page on Bush's foreign policy misadventures, etc. Compared to other sectors of the Democratic base, black voters, and irregular voters, are especially *unlikely* to be motivated by identitarian appeals. It tends to turn them off. This is an even *bigger* tangent that's tough to really get into on Twitter, but, to the extent that black voters *are* motivated by identitarian stuff, they don't necessarily view Harris or Obama as representing themselves.
Most of the commentariat just presents these candidates as "black" and assumes most black voters feel the same. In truth, mixed race, fair-skinned, and blacks of recent immigrant background are NOT widely viewed by most blacks as being uncomplicatedly "black." Of being "like them." Or representing their values and interests. This is something glossed over by academics and journalists because most "black" people in these spaces are like Kamala Harris, Barack Obama and myself: mixed race, fair skinned and/or of recent immigrant background. And most of us think of ourselves as uncomplicatedly "black," see people like Harris and Obama the same way, and assume/ hope/ assert that most other black people in the U.S. feel the same. We like to suppress this difference. But it's noticed and it's important. Twitter isn't really the right place for this discussion, but it's something I go into at great length in my book: And it's relevant to bear in mind for folks who want to tell simplistic stories of black people supporting candidates on the basis of presumed racial affinity. Especially when polling data suggests that there is *not,* in fact, extraordinary excitement around Harris among black voters. There never was, in her entire time on the national political scene up to now.
Back on track: So, if Kamala's race is unlikely to excite, galvinize or mobilize huge numbers of black voters, then why is it that I'm asserting Trump will likely underperform polling with this demographic? Because even if polls accurately capture overall black sentiment, they may not reflect the attitudes of the black Americans most likely to show up to the polls. To illustrate the difference between public sentiment and "who shows up," consider the typical fate of third party candidates. Similar dynamics hold for black constituents who are, much like third-party supporters, especially likely to be irregular voters:
In recent years, irregular voters across ethnic, religious and other cultural lines, have shifted towards Republicans. This is a major change from previous years. And it means that, in elections with high turnout, Republicans are likely to enjoy higher margins with black and Hispanic constituents (who vote less regularly) than in races where turnout is lower: In general, however, insofar as polls accurately capture the sentiment of black voters as a whole, they may not reflect the preferences of the African Americans who show up at the ballot box (who are more likely to be older, highly-educated, relatively affluent, urban/suburban, and more reliably Democratic) Critically, although Democrats are likely to see continued attrition with black voters, these losses seem likely to be made up by gains with *whites.* White voters have been consistently been souring on the Republican Party, starting in 2016 and continuing through the present:
In the same way that Democrats keep alienating non-white voters by serving them symbolic identitarian bullshit over addressing their practical concerns and priorities, the GOP has been consistently losing white voters under Trump. Because he seems to buy into the mainstream media/ academic accounts of why people support him (they're racists/ xenophobes, etc.) -- and those narratives are actually incorrect. So he keeps serving up to white voters more of what he thinks they want, and they continue to recoil in horror and shift towards the Democrats. The big question of this cycle is whether Trump and @JDVance will continue to alienate white voters at an equal or greater clip as Democrats are driving away voters of color: The answer to this question will likely determine control of the White House in 2024 (just as it did in 2016 and 2020, and the last two midterm cycles)."

Poilievre’s defence spending boost will hurt Canadians - "So let me get this straight. Pierre Poilievre is going to make life more affordable for Canadians. Yet he’s going to ramp up our military spending wildly, as demanded by Donald Trump. Trump isn’t even yet the Republican nominee (and still faces 91 criminal charges) but already our putative future prime minister is bending to his will. Last week, Poilievre indicated support for boosting Canada’s military spending to 2 per cent of GDP, right after Trump told a rally he’d encourage Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to any NATO country that doesn’t meet NATO’s 2 per cent target. Of course, bowing and scraping to the MAGA boss-man isn’t the image Poilievre wants to project to Canadians. He wants us to see him as a scrappy tough guy who fights to make our lives more affordable... Axing the tax certainly appeals to Big Oil boosters who want to keep us hooked on fossil fuels, but it won’t help with affordability. Meanwhile, raising our military spending to 2 per cent of GDP — from its current level of 1.39 per cent — would cost us an extra $25 billion a year, according to Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Office. That would please Trump (at least for a moment). But such a massive spending hike would inevitably result in spending cuts to things we really need — like health care, transit, housing — making our lives worse and less affordable. Trump’s resurgence in the U.S. has revived grumbling from right-wing commentators here that our military spending is too low. But it isn’t. If anything, it’s too high... Roche, a former Progressive Conservative parliamentarian from Alberta, insists Canada should instead put an extra $2 billion into the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Commentators portray Canada as a small military spender because, like Trump, they measure military spending as a percentage of GDP, rather than in actual dollars."
From February, 5 months before Trudeau committed to the same. The level of ignorance needed to pretend that the 2% NATO target is an invention of Trump (so much for teaching accurate history). But of course she also pretends the carbon tax leaves most people better off (when it's been repeatedly proven to be the opposite) and ignores the facts about the crumbling military
Donald Trump's Gains With Black Voters Have Been Wiped Out
Voting based on race is only racist if you're white
Report: DNC Speakers Mention 'Trump' 130 More Times than 'Crime,' 'Inflation,' and 'Border' Combined - "Speakers at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday in Chicago, Illinois, reportedly mentioned the word “Trump” 130 more times than three of the top 2024 issues combined: “crime,” “inflation,” and “border.” The Harris campaign avoids the issues because it is caught in a so-called “catch-22.” Speaking about policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security would undermine the Biden-Harris administration’s claim of having solved those issues. However, Democrats must tout the administration’s policy successes to validate presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’s record and candidacy. Focusing on “Trump” instead of the issues is a convenient strategy to avoid that paradoxical situation. The “Trump” centric approach also suggested a double standard among media elites. Nearly all the mentions of “Trump” during Monday’s programming were personal insults to the president, which were cast as either fair or accurate. When former President Donald Trump attacks Democrats, he is nearly always accused of being nasty or mean... Polling shows that inflation, border security, and crime are key issues plaguing the nation under the Biden-Harris administration. Under its watch, inflation soared about 20 percent across the board, and millions of people invaded the southern border while illegal migrants were accused of committing heinous crimes. Sixty-three percent of voters said crime is a major factor in who they will vote for in the presidential election, a recent CBS News poll found. Nearly two-thirds of Americans said soaring costs and migration are the most important issues they face, an August YouGov poll found."
