@boyculturedotcom Trump’s rally — helpfully, it was in Pennsylvania — on October 14, 2024, was unhinged. He has dementia. He stopped things after an inappropriate joke about people passing out and swayed to music for THIRTY-NINE minutes. Look how ND Gov. (already that is a joke) relates to him — like he is what he is, an out-of-it great-gramps. This is not a leader. #donaldtrump #trump #kristinoem #kamalaharris #kamalaharris2024 #harriswalz2024 #voteblue #boyculture #lucillebluth #arresteddevelopment #sineadoconnor #jessicawalter ♬ Nothing Compares 2 U - Sinéad O'Connor

BELOW: Keep reading for Paul Mescal, Tom Holland, David Duke endorsing Jill Stein and more ...
INSTAGRAM: Oof, the new Gladiator II character posters are here.

VARIETY: Tom Holland, who is sober, has launched a nonalcoholic beer called Bero.

JOE.MY.GOD.: David Duke, the former KKKer, is still alive (my God, he's only 74?!) and has endorsed ... Jill Stein. She rebuked his endorsement, but these 2 anti-Democratic chix OF COLOR (above) think Duke's racism is, like, totes overblown.
HUFF POST: President Biden, campaigning in Pennsylvania, said it exactly right in noting that he was in Obama/Biden, but forged his own (if not radically different) path. And Harris of Biden/Harris would also be her own president. This should not be hard to grasp, but some keep bringing up that she would just be more of Biden/Harris (GOOD! Our economy could stand that! Our rights, too!).
MARIST: Marist hasn't been all that bullish on Harris this year, though she's led. Now, she pulls into a 5-point lead nationally. (Of interest: Marist's most recent Texas poll has Trump ahead 7%. He won the state twice by 6%. I find it hard to accept that he will improve his performance in Texas with such a competitive Senate race and in this atmosphere. In Florida in 2020, Trump won by 3.6%, up from 2.2% in 2020. Marist, as of now, calls it a 4% race. Again, it is shocking when you think of how red Florida seems post-Obama that it's been so close. Does it really seem impossible that Harris would likely do better in 2024, with unpopular Rick Scott's Senate race ... and abortion on the ballot? Forgetting the optimism, Marist is considered a top-notch pollster, and their findings for Texas and Florida are roughly on track with Trump's past performance, even minor improvements. So what does that say about Harris leading by 5% nationally? Sounds damn good to me.
DAILY KOS: One thing Markos is not is a cock-eyed optimist. Democratic, yes, but he tells it like it is. And I agree with him that the GOP's total lack of GOTV is going to be damning. Obama had an amazing, amazing ground game, and in spite of wobbly polling in 2012 was declared the winner on election night. Of course 2016 was an anomaly, but 2020 showed Biden's ground game was superior. I think Harris has what seems to be best ground game going yet, in part because she is swimming in dollars. It takes money, but unlike Trump, she hasn't squandered hers.
CNN: Omarosa, who defected from the Democrats when Trump surprisingly defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 — then later abandoned and bad-mouthed him in her 2018 book Unhinged, is fully back on the Democratic bandwagon. Here, she speaks about personal observations regarding Trump's (obvious) mental decline:
Omarosa: The reason Donald Trump is canceling these interviews is that when he starts to stumble.. He'll start attacking you instead of talking about policy issues because he can't recall what they are.. that’s what you're seeing in his decline right now. pic.twitter.com/92VMHQ5niz

OMG.BLOG!: A star once freaked when I shared an accidentally over-exposed image of him, citing his workplace, but Casey Manderson does Hallmark movies and showed his whole ass and dick on film!

AJC: Confirmation that former President Jimmy Carter did, indeed, vote for Kamala Harris, using Georgia's early voting.
INTERVIEW: You may say the 1970s are over, but Liza Minnelli is looking fab on the cover of Andy Warhol's Interview, so you'd be wrong.
