DonOLD had a meltdown last night watching vice president Kamala Harris accept the presidential nomination with a remarkably good -- and short -- speech. First, he rapid fire rage sh1tposted complete nonsense (WHERE'S HUNTER!), sometimes with messages 30 seconds apart. Then he called into Fox "News" where Fox anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum (his handpicked hosts for a Fox "News" presidential debate) listened to him whine and cry MAGA tears but couldn't rein him in (yeah, they would have been great hosts for a presidential debate... they couldn't control him on their own show).

The impromptu call-in — lasted for 10 minutes, until Baier informed Trump that the network had run out of time and pushed him off the air, trying to save him from sounding even crazier than they could tolerate.

When Ms. MacCallum observed, accurately, that Ms. Harris was “having some success” with women, Hispanic and Black voters, Mr. Trump objected. “She’s not having success; I’m having success,” he said. “I’m doing great with the Hispanic voters, doing great with Black men, I’m doing great with women.”

“It’s only in your eyes that they have that, Martha,” he added.


At several points during the call, a familiar beeping sound interrupted Trump’s remarks: he was accidentally pressing buttons on the keypad of his phone.

In fairness, those newfangled phone thingies are tricky.

Trump then called Newsmax and told the Newsmax hosts: "Caracas was a very unsafe city, and now it's safe. In fact, some day the 3 of us will have to go there -- bring your husband with us also -- and we'll bring some of the other people that are with you because I like the people that are with you."

After baffling the folks at Newsmax he rage sh1tposted some more, until about 1:30 AM.

But it's not a cult.

that sound was actually the neuralink implant gifted by musk, now vital for any semblance of cognition.

The best part was the Fox News take on the convention. Overall, “not so good” they said, although there were moments of actual truth that managed to seep under the door.

Jon Stewart, as usual, had a wonderful show on the last night of the convention.

Watch the whole thing if you have time, or see the analysis of Fox News at 17 minutes in, or (and this is hilarious) of Jesse Waters commentary at 21 minutes in.
