I understand they are trying to say she is a socialist/communist... but really - to me, it sounds like they are trying to say she is friendly with Putin - so it sounds specifically stupid for Trump to say it. It's making me laugh though, so that's nice.

The Dems should just run ads showing Trump toadying to Putin and call him "Comrade Trump".

It won't happen. Remember his Fake News Awards or whatever that was? Just kind of a limp fizzle after months of shit talk.

The big picture: Organizers dubbed the event as the "J6 Awards Gala," with a flyer that prominently features a photo of Trump and his former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, saying they're invited guest speakers.
Asked by Axios whether Trump would attend, the Trump campaign said he would not.
Representatives for Giuliani, the golf club and the nonprofit holding the event did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
Zoom in: The event, hosted by the Stand in the Gap Foundation, is scheduled to take place on Sept. 5 at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, per the event page.

"The funds raised will provide much-needed assistance to the January 6th defendants who continue to face significant challenges," organizers said.
Tickets range from $1,500 a person to $50,000 for a table of 12.

Adding to the excitement, Trump has backed a new cryptocurrency platform launched by his family called "The DeFiant Ones," changing his tune on an industry he once eyed skeptically.

In his endorsement, Trump stated:

"For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites. It's time we take a stand — together."

Maybe we need to start a meme coin - the octopus- divided into 8 tentacles.

After blowing through his own funds seeking promised profits, Hanes stole tens of thousands from a local church, then a local investor club, and finally his daughter's college fund, NBC News reported. Then when all those wells dried up, he started stealing bank funds—all in the false hopes that sending more and more money to the scammers would somehow "unlock the supposed returns" on his crypto investments.

In total, Hanes made 11 wire transfers using bank funds between May 2023 and July 2023. But instead of getting rich quick, Hanes never realized any profits at all, the US Attorney's Office said.

He pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement by a bank officer after he singlehandedly caused the collapse of Heartland Tri-State Bank (HTSB) in Elkhart, Kansas, the press release said.

Because the bank was insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the FDIC "absorbed the $47.1 million loss" after "Hanes’ fraudulent actions caused HTSB to fail and the bank investors to lose $9 million,"

Donald Trump-themed memecoins like MAGA crypto are making a splash after a mid-Kamala Harris speech at the Democratic National Convention and an expected Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s endorsement for Trump.

When commenting on the Trump campaign's use of "My Hero," a spokesperson for the band told CBS News on Saturday: "Foo Fighters were not asked permission and if they were, they would have not granted it."

The spokesperson added that any royalties received as a result of the Trump campaign's use of the song will be donated to the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz.

Additionally, in response to a question if the band had "let Trump use 'My Hero" to welcome RJF Jr. on stage," the Foo Fighters' account on X simply replied, "No." The account then shared the exchange, adding: "Let us be clear."
