Related story and the reason I will no longer donate any money to my third rate law school. I informed the Dean Stephen Payne of the Law School (and good friends with John Eastman) in a polite e-mail that my modest donations would no longer be forthcoming but never received the courtesy of a response. The co-chairman of the Federalist Society — an influential conservative legal network that celebrated its 40th anniversary in November — Leo has also emerged as a major player at Catholic University, the nation's only Vatican-chartered university. In the last few years, he has helped raise more than $20 million for the school, primarily through anonymous donations. Leo directed a $4.25 million gift from an anonymous donor last spring to establish the Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition at Catholic University's Columbus School of Law. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito delivered the initiative's inaugural lecture in September. Leo also helped facilitate another $4 million in funding from an anonymous donor at the end of August to establish an endowed chair for the project in partnership with the Knights of Columbus, according to an article in the Fall 2022 issue of the school's alumni magazine. In addition to the law school funding, Leo brokered a $13 million donation from an anonymous donor in 2019 for the university's Institute on Human Ecology and the Busch School of Business, where he sits on the board of visitors. The business school, which has received more than $10 million from the Charles Koch Foundation in recent years, is known for its libertarian-inflected economics and events that have featured Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. Koch is a billionaire industrialist and longtime Republican donor who has used part of his fortune to fight policies that address climate change. www.ncronline.org/news/leonard-leo-has-reshaped-supreme-court-he-reshaping-catholic-university-tooI was just thinking about the term federalist and the historical federalists and anti-federalists and it strikes me that the "federalist society" are actually anti-federalists trying to dismantle our federal government. How ironic and sad that no one in the media has commented on how inappropriately they are named! I have the same reaction when the news media refers to the MAGA GOP as "conservative." It is anything but "conservative" but is instead radical and nihilist.

Harris team quietly courts big-name GOP endorsements Since Donald Trump first won the Republican nomination in 2016, scores of lifelong Republicans have criticized Trump, many choosing to vote for Democrats and others leaving the GOP altogether. As Trump makes his third run for the White House, the Harris campaign has ramped up its outreach to Republicans — from the rank and file to some of the party’s most recognizable figures — in an effort to win votes and bolster its message that Trump represents a unique danger to American democracy. As polls show Harris and Trump remain in a tight race, the Harris campaign is hoping endorsements from former Republican luminaries will help win over Republican-leaning and independent voters who are deeply opposed to Trump but are struggling with the idea of voting for a Democrat in general or Harris specifically. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/29/harris-campaign-courts-prominent-republican-endorsements/

A US presidential candidate hawking lighters during an address. What a schmuck. Why doesn't he just sell opioids and fentanyl to his followers? They're, generally, most hard hit by addictions to these incredibly destructive drugs. When people can no longer obtain opioids from their doctors, many resort to heroin. I guess that's where the lighters come in. Just cut out the middle man and sell them the sh!t they actually crave and, physically, need. Would anyone be entirely shocked if that came next? The fact that you have to take a second to think about it tells you all you need to know about this 280 pound sack of garbage. Also: I won't hold my breath waiting on the entirely genuine Hoyatalkers "concerned" about mental fitness to respond.

How can any HoyaTalk "Republican" vote for this racist POS? Demented Donnie's rant about "mental impairment" is all projection and admission. Congrats HT "Republicans" you've got the deranged racist and fascist you've always craved! Trump lambastes immigrants using false homicide claims ERIE, Pa. — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, in a speech that repeatedly painted a dark caricature of immigrants, seized on a recent report to claim falsely that thousands of immigrants with homicide records had been allowed to go free by the Biden administration. “They’re coming into our cities and our small towns, here in Pennsylvania and all over the country,” Trump said in a speech that meandered widely and made several other unsupported assertions. “These towns are petrified. Even if they’re not there yet, they will be there.” Trump also repeated his recent claim that Harris is “mentally impaired,” echoing remarks he made Saturday that drew condemnation from advocates for people with disabilities. “Crooked Joe Biden became mentally impaired,” Trump said Sunday. “But Lyin’ Kamala Harris, honestly, I believe she was born that way. There’s something wrong with Kamala and I just don’t know what it is, but there is definitely something missing, and you know what? Everybody knows it.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/29/trump-false-claims-immigrants-homicide/

The media is really doing a disservice to the country by not showing, and directly quoting, more of Trump's speeches. I see all of the clips because I'm on here and on Twitter. But journalists continue to "summarize" (read, completely rewrite and clean up) his statements so that his complete cognitive decline is less apparent to the average person. I don't think there are many people who don't have an opinion about Trump and his "policies" by this point. But I do think there are some Trump-Biden voters out there (or even Clinton-Biden or Trump-Trump voters) who are thinking "I don't really like the guy but I'm not thrilled with the Biden years" who (a) don't remember how nuts the first Trump term was and (b) don't realize that Trump himself is so much more unhinged than last time. Even if they watched the debate, that will be a months-old memory by Election Day.
Trump is out there making this insane "speeches" multiple times per week. The fact that this person could be given the Presidency again should be the biggest national story. And I don't even mean the corruption, the policies, whatever. I mean that he is barely a functioning adult.

He literally suggested a variation of the idea in the movie The Purge: he wants cops to get a day, or part of a day, to engage in wholesale violence in order to get the imaginary crime epidemic under control. And people want to claim this guy isn’t a fascist? I haven’t seen a lot of articles covering this, but people should be very concerned that he’s even thinking like that. The media is failing.

Vice President Kamala Harris continues to flesh out her policy agenda, addressing in recent days both economics and border security, two areas where voters have negative views about the work of her and President Joe Biden’s administration. The contrasts with former president Donald Trump are great, though that might not be what decides the election. Trump’s policies are shaped by a dark view of the world, one that says America is a failing country that has been taken advantage of by other nations. His core economic proposal would impose significant tariffs — 10 percent to 20 percent — on foreign goods. Trump says other countries would pay the cost and that it would bring trillions to the federal treasury. www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2024/09/29/trump-and-harris-economy-border-policy/

Demented Donnie lying SOS. Claims Biden didn't contact Kemp. GOP governor knocks down Trump's claim that Biden couldn't be contacted after hurricane September 30, 2024 2:45PM ET Former President Donald Trump claimed Gov. Brian Kemp (R) couldn't get in touch with President Joe Biden in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene — just hours after the Georgia Republican thanked the commander in chief for his time. After landing in Valdosta Monday, Trump told press members that Biden was too busy sleeping to help out with hurricane recovery. "The governor is doing a good job, but he's having a hard time getting the president on the phone. They're being very non-responsive," Trump asserted. But White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates pointed out that Kemp had praised Biden. "The President just called me yesterday afternoon," Kemp told a local news outlet. "And he just said, 'Hey, what do you need?'" "He offered that if there's other things we need, just to call him directly, which, I appreciate that," he added. www.rawstory.com/trump-biden-kemp-hurricane/

This should be getting much more publicity than it is. I suspect that Harris will start using some of these sessions in her campaign ads. But maybe she won't think of it, because she is mentally impaired. Just more projection by Trump (who of course won the debate big time, not even close). What a freaking jackass.

This is really the sad reality of the current situation. You talk to these folks and they’ll say “well I really don’t like all the hatred he spews but I’m still going to vote for him anyways”. These old folks are so pumped up and terrified by the alternate reality that is produced by Fox News that they are truly convinced that Democrats are socialist whackos who have some unexplained compulsion to bring crime and poverty to the country. They simply never ask themselves the question of whether such a thing even makes sense and why on earth anyone would want to do that. It is truly a cult which is stealing the minds of people that might otherwise be reasonable humans.

Demented Donnie could never run anything except his mouth. Some battleground state Republicans say they’re worried they see little evidence of Donald Trump’s ground game — and fear it could cost him the election in an exceedingly close race. In interviews, more than a dozen Republican strategists and operatives in presidential battlegrounds voiced serious concerns about what they described as a paltry get-out-the-vote effort by the Trump campaign, an untested strategy of leaning on outside groups to help do field work and a top-of-the-ticket strategy that’s disjointed from the one Republicans down the ballot are running. www.politico.com/news/2024/09/30/republicans-alarm-trump-ground-game-00181577

Hillbilly Vance nothing but a phony power hungry, hypocritical, lying POS. And a weirdo. JD Vance vowed to ‘never forget’ Middletown. Some say he already has. Vitori and other Middletonians believed that their newly famous native son was taking a renewed interest in the city after 13 years away, a period in which Vance found success in elite circles — first at Yale Law School, then in Silicon Valley. Their belief was reinforced in early 2017, when Vance published a New York Times column that announced his imminent return to Ohio, described his friendship with Vitori, and declared that people like him should ask “whether the choices we make for ourselves are necessarily the best for our home communities — and for the country.” Middletown’s philanthropists and business leaders soon began seeking to get him involved in civic affairs. Two of the city’s most prominent nonprofits — one of which helped fund Vance’s college education — sought to enlist him in their efforts to support the city’s disadvantaged children. Yet seven years after Vance’s return to the Midwest, those efforts have not come to fruition. Vitori says she now believes Vance, who is no longer Trump’s antagonist but his running mate, has come to resemble the politicians he once criticized — talking big but doing little to help the Ohio steel city he depicted in his bestseller. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/10/01/jd-vance-middletown-ohio-hillbilly-elegy-texts/
