    DeSantis is on the field, avoiding being in the booth with Trump, Thune, Johnson, Vance, Musk and Hegseth. Is DeSantis upset that he isn't SecDef pick? Is he too socially awkward to be around politically powerful people? DeSantis needs to learn how to interact with powerful people, even those he doesn't like.

    Vice President Kamala Harris is holed up for five days in a Pittsburgh hotel, doing highly choreographed debate practice sessions ahead of Tuesday night’s clash. There’s a stage and replica TV lighting and an adviser in full Lee Strasberg method-acting mode, not just playing Donald J. Trump but inhabiting him, wearing a boxy suit and a long tie.The former president’s preparations are more improv. They are pointedly called not “debate prep” but “policy time,” meant to refresh him on his record. Nobody is playing Ms. Harris; sometimes his aides sit at a long table opposite him and bat questions back...
  • For JD Vance donut shop visit, a double order of cringe, supersized by Tim Walz

    JD Vance had a surprisingly awkward time ordering two dozen donuts and chatting with the workers at a local shop, not only illustrating his basic weirdness but standing in cringey contrast to the naturally friendly Tim Walz at a Runza in Nebraska. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is evidently distressed by the surge in support for Kamala Harris and appears to be wearing out his welcome even on Fox.
  • JD Vance's 'Very Awkward' Stop at Georgia Donut Shop Goes Viral

    Newsweek ^ | 8/23/24 | Andrew Stanton
    Senator JD Vance faced ridicule over a viral video showing him stopping inside a Georgia donut shop on Thursday. On Thursday, Vance visited Holt's Sweet Shop in Valdosta, Georgia, a crucial battleground state Republicans are hoping will flip back to Trump after it narrowly voted for President Joe Biden in 2020. He faced a wave of ridicule over the video, with critics describing the stop as "awkward." The campaign stop comes as Vance's popularity among voters remains a sticking point for the Trump campaign.
  • Dems are kidding themselves: Kamala is a terrible — and terribly awkward — candidate

    After three and a half years of being lukewarm on Kamala Harris, Democrats are suddenly hot hot hot for the Vice President. The party is in full panic mode as Biden’s facade of cogency publicly crumbles faster than Bennifer 2.0. Dems are now desperately trying to make Kamala happen. It’s as if the gods were listening to that shrewd political prognosticator Drew Barrymore, who back in the spring had Harris on her show. There, the actress-turned-host did her signature close-talking to the VP and said, “We need you to be ‘Momala’ of the country.” This week, everyone jumped on the...

    This is the moment a Delta passenger has a huge meltdown at LAX - only to realize she's screaming at the wrong people. The woman, who has not been named, was filmed verbally abusing airline staff at the counter after she reportedly missed her flight. 'Get me the **** up on the next flight you *************' she is heard yelling, before demanding to speak to Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg. She repeatedly screamed: 'Call Pete Buttigieg right now to handle the TSA! 'Call that ************ right now! That useless ************' The woman then slammed her fist on the counter, sparking laughter...

    President Joe Biden seemed confused and eventually wandered away from a group of Air Force football players trying to present him with a jersey, helmet, and team-signed ball. The awkward scene occurred at the White House on Friday after Biden presented the Air Force football team with the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy for defeating the other service academies during the 2022-2023 football season. Air Force not only defeated the U.S. Naval Academy and U.S. Military Academy, but they also beat Baylor in the Armed Forces Bowl on their way to a 10-win season. However, Biden wasn’t the only one who wanted to...
  • Chinese military scientist 'filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine BEFORE the virus was declared a global pandemic and worked closely with 'bat woman' at Wuhan institute'

    A Chinese military scientist with ties to the United States reportedly filed a patent for a COVID-19 vaccine well before the disease was declared a global pandemic. Yusen Zhou, who worked for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), lodged the paperwork on behalf of the Chinese political party on February 24 2020, according to The Australian newspaper. That date was just five weeks after China first confirmed human transmission of the coronavirus.
  • How to Ask Someone if They've Been Vaccinated Without Making Things Awkward

    Asking someone to wear a mask is so 2020. The new tough conversation is finding out about someone's COVID-19 vaccination status. Experts say the way you ask matters, including your tone, sincerity and choice of words. But for starters, it shouldn't be a random question, says Elaine Swann, an etiquette expert and founder of the Swann School of Protocol. After all, it is personal information that usually isn't any of your business — unless you plan on letting the person into your personal space. And even then, a more private person still may not want to disclose their status. So...

  • Kamala Harris says ‘Wisconsin is part of my story’ in awkward Milwaukee event

    Vice presidential hopeful Kamala Harris had an awkward moment during a campaign event in Wisconsin, describing the state as “part of her story,” while avoiding reporters. The moment happened during an in-person campaign event Monday with black, Milwaukee-based business leaders when the state’s Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes tried to turn the microphone over to her to take questions from the press. Harris had already given remarks on the “dignity of work,” a theme of the campaign, and Barnes figured the vice presidential hopeful would be answering questions as reporters bemoan a lack of access to Harris and her running mate,...

    With “The Conners” slated to debut this month sans Roseanne Barr, the remaining cast members are reflecting on their new direction after Barr’s firing. “It was awkward but not awkward,” Laurie Metcalf, who plays Jackie Harris, told People about filming without Barr. “It was right but not right, wrong but not wrong.” As the series is expected to address, Barr’s character is killed off and the family is left to recover. “Any sadness that we feel over what we’ve lost we’re hopefully channeling in an honest way into the show,” added Sarah Gilbert, who returned to her role as Darlene...

    FRISCO -- It was an unsettling bathroom counter that Jessica Rush will never forget. Rush was inside a bathroom Thursday at Baylor Medical Center in Frisco when a man barged into the women’s bathroom because he thought she was a male. “You didn’t look like a girl when I saw you enter. I thought you was a…,” the man told her. “A boy?” she asked him. “Yes, I was kind of confused when I saw this,” the unidentified man. “That’s the only reason. Now that I see you are a woman. … You know it’s difficult. Of course, you dress...
