Harris holds rally in Las Vegas on Saturday night before heading to San Francisco for another campaign event

Donald Trump gets worked up over question about crowd sizes during Mar-a-Lago press conference.

Donald Trump has doubled down on questioning Kamala Harris's race — which has sparked outrage — saying "I think I was right" while also calling her a "b****" in private, according to reporting by The New York Times.

The former president is said to be "angry" as the vice president surges in the polls, both nationally and in key battleground states that will likely decide the election.

Harris has surged to a five-point lead over Trump in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, putting her at 42% to the Republican's 37% nationally with less than three months to go to November's presidential election.

In a New York Times/Siena College poll Harris is leading Trump by four points in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

At a rally on Friday night, Harris told pro-Palestine protesters in Arizona that "now is the time" to get a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and free the hostages, adding that she and President Joe Biden have been "working around the clock" with that aim.

Trump spoke at a rally in Bozeman, Montana, arriving late after his plane was diverted because of a mechanical issue. He falsely claimed Harris would not debate him, before admitting they would do so on September 10.

Trump's Truth Social lost $16.4m last quarter and had under $1m in revenue


Donald Trump's social media company Trump Media and Technology Group has reported a $16.4 million loss and less than $1 million in quarterly revenue, only months after it began trading publicly to much fanfare earlier this year.

Watch: JD Vance can't hide from the couch and cat lady jokes


"By the way, I'm one of those 'miserable, childless cat ladies,'' Rep Dina Titus said during her introductory remarks in Las Vegas ahead of speeches by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, referencing Senator JD Vance's past comments that have drawn criticism. "JD Vance apologized to my cat but he didn't apologize to me… you better hide behind that sofa because we're coming for you," she added.

Trump bizarrely claims nobody knows his Democratic rival's last name


Following Thursday's tsunami of absurd and false statements at his seemingly pointless "general news conference" at Mar-a-Lago, a free-wheeling Donald Trump bizarrely told supporters on Friday night that "nobody really knows" his opponent's last name.

The reclusive former president emerged from hiding at his Palm Beach, Florida, estate and flew — with a slight mechanical interruption — to a rally in Bozeman, Montana, in support of Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy, who is looking to unseat Democratic Senator Jon Tester.

On stage, Trump reeled through his standard list of grievances and disparaging remarks about America, adding some new material for the crowd.

Capitol rioter gets 20 years in prison for attacking police


A California man with a history of political violence was sentenced on Friday to 20 years in prison for repeatedly attacking police with flagpoles and other makeshift weapons during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

David Nicholas Dempsey's sentence is among the longest among hundreds of Capitol riot prosecutions. Prosecutors described him as one of the most violent members of the mob of Donald Trump supporters that attacked the Capitol as lawmakers met to certify Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory.

Dempsey, who is from Van Nuys, stomped on police officers' heads. He swung poles at officers defending a tunnel, struck an officer in the head with a metal crutch and attacked police with pepper spray and broken pieces of furniture, prosecutors said.

Harris pledges to work to end taxes on tips for service industry employees, echoing Trump vow


Vice President Kamala Harris promised Saturday to work to eliminate taxes on tips paid to restaurant workers and other service employees, echoing a pledge that her opponent in November, Donald Trump, has made, and creating a rare instance of political overlap from both sides.

Harris made the announcement at a rally on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where the economy relies heavily on the hotel, restaurant and entertainment industries. Trump vowed essentially the same thing at his own rally in the city in June — though neither he nor Harris are likely to be able to fully do that without actions from Congress.

"It is my promise to everyone here that, when I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America," Harris said. "Including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers."

Stop the fucking presses, such news.

OMFG, he called her a bitch in private. Such a shocking news item.  Wonder what she calls him in private, it's a sure bet she doesn't call him a friend.

In the realm of who gives a fuck, this one must rate close to zero.

So just a tired old meme from you. About all one can expect I guess.

What do you call me in private? I'm willing to bet it's not something nice. Why does anybody care what somebody thinks of their opponent? This isn't news at all, just a lame attempt to increase your score and ratings. You would probably hate to hear what Obama privately says about some people. 

In other news, none of this is new behavior. You act like the teenager who just discovered sex and thinks he's on to something new.

What do you expect coming into one of my seeds whining and carrying on like a ninny because another respected reporter at another mainstream source wrote another truthful article that utterly devastates Donald Trump? Do you think your lameass whining and moaning deserved a long well considering wordy response? No Snuff it did not! You were merely memeworthy!

None of your comments are worth a rancid bucket of drivel!

At least Kamala Harris hasn't been tainted by whiteness.  So, her privilege needs a different excuse.

Please continue degrading Harris' race and sex and belittling Walz's twenty four years military service. I beg you, PLEASE!
