We’re already off to an unlucky start this Friday the 13th! Social media is exploding with speculation over whether Laura Loomer is steaming Donald Trump’s pants, so to speak. Murdery Traitor Greene, freshly targeted by a face-eating leopard, isn’t sure what Loomer is doing, but knows she doesn’t like it. But all you have to do is decide how much popcorn you want.

We doubled back for a more detailed look at RFK Jr.’s cynical play in North Carolina. Sounds like it’s all the excuse Gop election board officials will need to claim grounds to refuse to certify election results there.

JD Vance and Donald Trump are destroying Springfield, OH for what we can only guess is what they think is their political advantage. But it’s far from clear that local parents are glad their children’s schools are being swatted. Trump’s sure it’s all true, though, because he saw it on television. Which he did not. And the one local parent we’re actually hearing from would like politicians to stop exploiting his son’s death, thank you very much.

Speaking of racist lies, here’s the background on another one that Trump told during the debate. No, no Venezuelan gang has taken over an apartment complex in Aurora, CO. But a local landlord facing a mounting pile of health and safety code violations—and a local Gop pol—wants you to think they have.

With that one also debunked… have another lie! This time, to “explain” why Harris performed well, even it it doesn’t excuse why Trump sucked.

And finally, here’s one you’ll have to finish yourself over the weekend. Maybe you’re not quite convinced that Trump returning to power will actually result in the flashy shows of political violence and/or authoritarian dominance he promises. But there are ways his lackeys plan to use the federal bureaucracy to make life a living hell for political opponents, like denying government benefits, services or assistance to… anyone they just don’t like.
