Elon Musk continues to make a complete fool out of himself.
The billionaire tech exec who desperately wants to be like Tony Stark has made it no secret where he stands politically, but on Saturday, he made it very clear that he is MAGA, or as he put it, “Dark MAGA,” whatever the hell that means.
Phony Stark, aka Elon Musk, happily jumped his way onto the stage during Trump’s latest rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, yup, the same place of the first assassination attempt on former disgraced president Donald Trump back in July.
The Tesla and SpaceX Chief got on the stage and, in front of the microphone, spewed the same ridiculous rhetoric that Trump does daily, whether it’s on his bootleg social media platform where his loyal deplorable followers feel safe.
Elon Musk Is Proudly “Dark MAGA”
Musk said, “This will be the last election” if the orange menace doesn’t win while wearing an official new Klan Hood, a “Make America Great Again” cap.
“As you can see, I am not just MAGA — I am Dark MAGA,” he continued.
He also spewed the lies that Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are coming “to take away your freedom of speech, they want to take away your right to bear arms, they want to take away your right to vote, effectively.”
Musk also criticized California for its effort to ban voter ID requirements, one of the many voter suppression ideas that would primarily affect voters of color.
Musk’s appearance yesterday at Trump’s rally marked the first time he has appeared alongside Trump during one of his rallies.
He already has formed a super political action committee, which is spending a lot of money to help get out the vote efforts to get the divider-in-chief back in office.
He also held a Spaces event for him on X, during which Donald Trump did a lot of meandering and talking about nothing, which is basically what he does best.
Trump has said that if he does win, he will appoint Musk to lead a government efficiency agency because he loves to “hire the best people” for jobs.
Phony Stark Is Getting Clowned On His Own Sh*t
Musk’s glazing of the man who once called him a phony and failure is getting him clowned on his platform, and deservingly so.
Lol.
We are always here for Phony Stark getting dunked on.

A fight between a Black vendor and white vendors at a rally for Donald Trump in Michigan caught the attention of social media, who chalked it up to the tone of the event.
On Thursday (October 3), the crowd waiting to hear former president Donald Trump outside of a venue in Saginaw, Michigan waiting to hear former president Donald Trump wound up being bystanders to a brawl between a Black vendor and white vendors selling memorabilia. The incident took place at 10:20 A.M. at the Ryder Center for Health and Physical Education at Saginaw Valley State University. It was captured on video by Anna Liz Nichols, a reporter for the Michigan Advance, who shared it in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
According to reports, the fight stemmed from a verbal argument and led to the Black vendor being pummeled while he was on the ground by the two white vendors as the crowd of 1,000 rally attendees looked on. It was confirmed by the Associated Press that the fight involved only vendors and no one else from the crowd. “The Trump campaign reports that all of the individuals involved in the altercation were vendors, none were attendees and all were ejected from the premises,” a spokesperson for the campaign team said in a statement via text message.
The incident caught the attention of several people on social media, some of whom initially thought that it was a fight between supporters of the former president. It didn’t go unnoticed by some who noted how the Black vendor wound up not faring too well in the fight, with some commenting that he shouldn’t have even been present. The rally in Saginaw is another event critical for the Trump campaign in a battleground state as early voting for the November presidential elections has begun. Ohio Senator JD Vance held two rallies in Marne and Auburn Hills the day before, and Vice President Kamala Harris is slated to hold a rally in Flint on Friday (October 4).

They say birds of a feather flock together. Mayor Mixxy, aka Eric Adams, needs all the allies he can get as the walls continue to close in on him, so it shouldn’t be shocking that he is now accepting support from Donald Trump.
Spotted on Raw Story, the embattled indicted Mayor, Eric Adams, welcomed the support from the disgraced orange menace, Donald Trump, after becoming the first NYC Mayor to be indicted while in office for allegedly taking bribes from foreign governments.
Speaking out of the side of his racist mouth, Trump, for whatever reason, blamed Adams’ charges on his critical comments Mayor Mixxy said about undocumented immigrants coming to the city.
“We have people that use the Justice Department and the FBI at levels that have never been seen before,” Trump said last week. “I wish him luck.”
On Tuesday, October 1, reporters asked Adams if he had embraced Trump’s support.
“Listen, I welcome support from every American, no matter where they are and who they are,” Adams told reporters. “I welcome support from every American, those who know me and know how I am, and those who are just reading up on this.”
“So, every American in this great country, I welcome support from.”
Critics Are Calling Eric Adams’ Rhetoric Very Trump-Like
It’s no surprise that Adams is being dragged for appreciating the support for the twice-impeached former president, with many pointing out how Trumpish he sounded.
“Several of Adams’ fellow Democrats compared the mayor’s rhetoric to that of former President Donald Trump, a Republican who was also indicted — and ultimately convicted — in New York,” Gothamist writer Brigid Bergin said.
Bergin continued, “Several of Adams’ fellow Democrats compared the mayor’s rhetoric to that of former President Donald Trump, a Republican who was also indicted — and ultimately convicted — in New York.”
Welp.
The news isn’t getting any better for Adams. Federal prosecutors are considering bringing more charges against the defiant NYC Mayor.

JD Vance was confronted with his past labeling of Donald Trump as “America’s Hitler” in the vice presidential debate and on social media.
On Tuesday (October 1), the vice presidential debate between GOP Ohio Senator JD Vance and Democratic Governor Tim Walz occurred with some notable moments – including when the moderators confronted Vance with his past remarks about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Those remarks included a private message he wrote to a friend in 2016: “I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a—hole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” the message said, continuing: “How’s that for discouraging?” Vance addressed the comment, saying: “I’ve been open about the fact that I was wrong about Donald Trump,” Vance said. “I was wrong, first of all, because I believed some of the media stories that turned out to be dishonest fabrications of his record.”
The remarks were made when Vance was enjoying his success as the author of Hillbilly Elegy, his memoir about his impoverished beginnings in the Appalachia region. Vance, a Yale University graduate, had more liberal perspectives which influenced his views of the former president. Since getting into politics, he has become decidedly more conservative as a supporter of Trump, leading to his being selected ahead of other candidates such as Florida congressman Byron Donalds.Donald Trump Jr. was reminded of that during an interview with CNN’s Kaitlin Collins as he was blasting the media for creating an atmosphere that led to the failed assassination attempts on his father. “The media has radicalized the people that are trying to kill my father. When someone allows people to have a platform to call someone literally Hitler, it creates it,” Trump Jr. began, with Collins interjecting: “JD Vance once likened your father to Hitler.”
The remark, and Vance’s brushing it aside, was not lost on those who watched the debate on social media. Many called out the moderators for trying to equate Walz’s missteps in the debate with Vance making that remark. Political strategist Rachel Bitcofer summed up the frustration some had in a post on X, formerly Twitter: “Not sure how you avoid asking a man if he still thinks his running mate is America’s Hitler.”

Shazam star Zachary Levi endorsed Donald Trump at an event supporting his presidential campaign, drawing sharp criticism from many people on social media.
Last Saturday(September 28), Shazam star Zachary Levi threw his weight behind Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The actor was moderating a talk with former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard at an event supporting Trump held in Dearborn, Michigan. Before the interview began, he said: “We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again. We are going to make it healthy again. And so, I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump.”
“In a perfect world, in whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby,” Levi continued. “But we don’t live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one. We live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff, and we’re here to stop that.” Toward the end of the conversation with RFK Jr. and Gabbard who are part of the “Team Trump” campaign team, the 44-year-old actor admitted that his public endorsement of the former president could damage his career, but he was raised to “have a healthy distrust of the government” and that Trump represents what he wants to support. “Within my industry, as you can probably imagine, Hollywood is a very, very liberal town and this very well could constitute career suicide, so I’m glad I did it with you guys,” he said to the crowd.
Levi, who gained fame in the Chuck television series and joined the DC Universe as Shazam with two films in 2019 and 2023. It is undetermined if he’ll return to the role with new DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran in charge. He’s been open about his political views, declaring that he was a “libertarian” in a post on X, formerly Twitter in 2020. He’s also garnered criticism for those views, particularly concerning the COVID-19 vaccines last year. The responses to Levi’s endorsement on social media ranged from disappointment to dismissal, with many likening him to another controversial actor, Gina Carano.

Donald Trump might enjoy favorable support among his base but the race for the White House against his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, remains tightly contested. However, Donald Trump took things to a shocking level when he essentially endorsed police brutality to stamp out crime.
Donald Trump was in Pennsylvania on Sunday (September 29) and delivered a speech that should have been focused on his policies but devolved into him spouting debunked claims of crime rising under President Joe Biden’s administration and more talking points that he’s largely remained committed to. However, things took a dark turn when the former president suggested the police be allowed to use rough tactics to stop crime, especially in the world of retail theft.
“See, we have to let the police do their job,” Trump began. “And if they have to be extraordinarily rough…and you know the funny thing about all of that stuff. Look at the department stores. You see these guys walking out with an air conditioner and a refrigerator on their backs.”
The Trump faithful applauded on cue during this speech segment the business mogul continued to deliver his dangerous rhetoric.
“And the police aren’t allowed to do their job,” Trump continued. “They’re told if you do anything, you’re going to lose your pension, you’re going to lose your family, your house, your car. The police want to do it. The Border Patrol wants to do it. They’re not allowed to do it because the liberal left won’t let them do it.”
He continued to double down on the threat of police violence against theft, once again to the approving cheers of his supporters.
“One rough hour, and I mean real rough, the word will get out, and it will end immediately, end immediately. You know, it will end immediately,” Trump said.
On X, formerly Twitter, observers have likened Donald Trump’s support of concentrated and lawless police violence to the film franchise, The Purge, in which for 24 hours, crimes can be committed without consequences.
We’ve got reactions listed below.

1. Regardless of what people are framing it as, it’s scary to imagine.
2. Worth a watch.
4. Some more talking points about what Trump may allegedly be angling for.
10. Instead of reducing it to name-calling, just keep educating. It’s all new information for some.

Donald Trump has yet another legal issue to deal with. A Haitian nonprofit organization has filed a lawsuit against him for his false pet eating claims.
As reported by News 5 Cleveland, the Haitian Bridge Alliance has a submitted a claim against the former President and his running mate JD Vance. Their executive director Guerline Jozef expressed their reasoning in a formal statement. “Over the last two weeks, both Trump and Vance led an effort to vilify and threaten the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio,” Jozef wrote. “Together, they spread and amplified the debunked claim that Haitians immigrants in Springfield are eating cats, dogs, and wildlife.”
The organization’s attorney Subodh Chandra detailed how Trump and Vance’s claims have forever negatively impacted the Haitian community in Springfield. “If anyone else had disrupted public service, made false alarms, and engaged in telecommunications harassment in the manner Trump and Vance did with their relentless and persistent lies—even after the governor and mayor said what they were saying was false, they would’ve been arrested by now,” he said in a written statement. “They must be held accountable to the rule of law in the same way any of the rest of us would be.”
During the recent presidential debate Donald Trump made some baseless claims that immigrants were stealing pets and cooking them. “They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats,” Trump when asked a question about immigration. “They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.” JD Vance also promoted the false narrative and would later admit that on CNN that he is not above spreading falsehoods in order to sell in his agenda.
Neither politician has yet to formally respond to the matter. According to the Haitian Bridge Alliance’s website they advocate “for fair and humane immigration policies and provides migrants and immigrants with humanitarian, legal, and social services.” You can read more about their organization here.

Republicans have been screaming for Democrats to “lower the temperature” after two “assassination” attempts on former disgraced president Donald Trump. Still, someone must tell them to keep the same energy for their followers.
Spotted on Raw Story via the New York Post, windows at an Arizona campaign office for our current Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris were shot out.
According to the website, no one was at the office when the alleged incident occurred.
Per Raw Story:
“Damage from gunfire, fired sometime after midnight on Monday, was discovered at the Democratic National Committee campaign office near Southern Avenue and Priest Drive in Tempe,” reported Patrick Reilly, noting that staffers discovered the windows shot out when they arrived at work on Tuesday.
According to Sgt. Ryan Cook of the Tempe Police, “No one was inside the office during the overnight hours, but this raises concerns about the safety of those who work in that building, as well as those nearby.”
The report also notes, “Detectives are currently analyzing evidence collected at the scene, and additional measures have been taken to beef up security for staff and others in the area.”
The Political Violence Is Out of Control
As we barrel towards election day, things have been quite testy on the campaign trail for both candidates. The first attempt on Donald Trump’s life left several people injured at his rally and the orange menace with a bloody ear.
The most recent attempt that saw a man trying to shoot Trump while he was on his Mar-A-Lago golf course was thwarted by Secret Service agents, preventing the bootleg assassin from getting a shot off.
Secret Service has been under fire since the two attempts on Trump’s life, and now we are sure they are ratcheting up the protection for both VP Harris and Donald Trump.

Republican nominee Donald Trump went after Haitian migrants again at a campaign rally with more outright lies.
False claims about Haitian migrants in the town of Springfield, Ohio have been advanced by former President Donald Trump once again, this time with more sinister overtones. The Republican presidential nominee held a campaign rally in Savannah, Georgia on Tuesday (September 24) at the Johnny Mercer Theatre. In what’s been increasingly a feature at these rallies, Trump talked about the crowd size being 5,000 to 6,000 people – in truth, it was 2,500 in attendance. He also spoke about the migrants again in a disparaging rant.
“With left-wing nonprofits to inundate Pennsylvania communities, changing the character of small towns and villages all over our country, and changing them forever,” Trump said. “They will never be the same. They will never be. Do you think Springfield will ever be the same? I don’t think so. The fact is — and I’ll say it now — you have to get them the hell out. You have to get them out. I’m sorry,” he continued, adding: “You have to get them out. Can’t have it. Can’t have it. They’ve destroyed it. It’s terrible.” The audience cheered during the speech, which also saw Trump talking about his administration bringing a “manufacturing renaissance” and bringing back millions of jobs to the U.S. “Did you ever hear that expression before? Have you ever heard that we’re going to take other countries’ jobs? It’s never been stated before,” he said.
Trump has leaned heavily on the false claims about Haitians who’ve settled in Springfield, Ohio, expressing it in his debate against Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris – a claim first advanced by his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance. These claims of Haitians eating the dogs and cats of fellow town members sparked a wave of outrage since the disastrous debate, with many Haitian-Americans holding protest rallies across the country. It has also led to the Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA) advocacy group filing a criminal complaint against Trump and Vance, alleging that their amplifying the false claims led to heightened danger against the Haitian community in Springfield resulting in at least 33 bomb threats being called in against schools and other city structures. “Trump and Vance’s lies have harmed the Springfield community, and their lies have violated criminal law,” said the statement filed with the complaint. The Trump campaign team has not commented to the press.

Donald Trump’s claims that the COVID-19 pandemic began with “dust” blown over to the country “from China” has left many on social media again questioning his intelligence.
Former President Donald Trump is receiving new blowback due to his comments concerning the rise of COVID-19 in the United States. He sat down for a one-on-one interview with Sheryl Attkisson of the “Full Measure” show on Sunday (September 22) at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The conversation turned to the pandemic, and Attkisson asked Trump how he felt he handled the situation. “In terms of overall, I think I did an amazing job with COVID,” Trump insisted. “I never got the credit for it. Remember that more people died under Biden-Harris than died under Trump.”
“I never got great credit on the fighting of the China virus, which is COVID, but we call it the China virus because we like to be accurate,” the former president continued. “But if you think of what I’ve done, I took a disaster that came into our shores, that dust flew in from China, and we started making things like the ventilators.” He added that he would “not be given credit” for the “fantastic job” done, remarking to the Heritage Foundation-sponsored host, “Nobody knew what it was. Nobody knew where it came from.” The claim was part of an almost 20-minute interview, where he also declared that if he loses in the November presidential election, he won’t run again in 2028.
The interview is not the first time that Trump has uttered the false claim. He made it as part of a rambling sentence, saying We had that damn dust coming in from China, the China virus…” during his campaign rally held in Wildwood, New Jersey back in May. But his insistence on repeating it brought him ridicule from those who got wind of the statement, with many bemoaning his lack of intelligence.
