Former President Donald Trump said Democrats are "after" him because they think he has a "big mouth" during a rally in Georgia on Saturday.

"They want to go after me because I have, they think, a big mouth. I don't have a big mouth, you know what I have, I have a mouth that tells the truth," Trump told the crowd.

The former president was discussing the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in a speech filled with inaccuracies and false statements.

Trump recounted a bizarre exchange of what he said happened when Taliban co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar learned of the US withdrawal.

"He gets a call or a message. It said the military has left. He said 'you're nuts' in their language," Trump said of Baradar.

Trump blamed President Joe Biden for sending people to Afghanistan to help with the withdrawal "who weren't even familiar with all of it" including 13 service members who were killed in an ISIS-K terror attack.

However, it was Trump who started the process to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, at one point even bragging about it.

Trump falsely claimed those evacuated were not eligible to be evacuated. He also claimed the administration "abandoned hundreds of American citizens in enemy-occupied territory."

The US began evacuating Americans and Afghan allies soon after the Taliban took over Kabul on August 15. Biden considered extending the August 31 deadline to withdraw all troops from the country but the Taliban threatened "consequences"if the US did notleave by the deadline.

More than 120,000 people had been evacuated from the country by the time the last US plane left Kabul. Evacuees were vetted before boarding flights out of the country, in secondary stops, as well as before coming into the US, for those who are being processed to be resettled here.

Trump also criticized Republicans at the rally and reiterated the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was rigged. He was joined by three Republicans who he's endorsed: Herschel Walker, who recently launched a Senate campaign, Rep. Jody Hice, who he's endorsed to replace Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and Sen. Burt Jones, who worked to overturn the election results in Georgia, the Associated Press reported.

The former president used the rally to slam officials like Raffensperger, a Republican who maintained the election in the state was fair and accurate.

Donald Trump sent his supporters a photoshopped image of Liz Cheney and George W. Bush's faces.

The face-morphed image, originally shared by a meme account, is the former president's latest jab at his political nemeses.

In a statement made on Wednesday, Trump blasted Bush for his support of Cheney in next year's GOP primary in Wyoming.

Former President Donald Trump mocked his political nemeses by emailing a meme of Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney and former President George W. Bush's faces morphed together to his supporters, according to the Independent.

The image, which appears to have first been shared by Twitter meme account, was used by Trump in a fundraising message, sent on Thursday, for his Save America PAC. "ICYMI: Must-See Photo," it was captioned.

The former president shared the meme a day after releasing a statement that criticized Bush, who he previously accused of leading "a failed and uninspiring presidency," for his "stupidity" in the Middle East.

The statement also saw Trump lambast Bush for his support of "warmongering and very low polling" Cheney - the daughter of Bush's former vice president, Dick Cheney - after he announced that he would fundraise for her in Dallas on October 18.

Trump, who is backing Cheney's primary opponent in Wyoming next year, has clashed with Cheney since the Capitol riot. She was one of a handful of Republicans in the House and Senate who voted to impeach him for inciting it and is one of two Republican members of the House committee investigating the January 6 attack.

In May 2021, Cheney became a Republican pariah after she was ousted as the House Republican Conference Chair, the third-highest ranking position within the GOP caucus, due to her continued public admonishment of Trump for his role in the deadly January 6 Capitol riot.

Ivanka Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing, and in response to the news of the expanded probes, she angrily tweeted: This is harassment pure and simple. This inquiry by NYC democrats is 100% motivated by politics, publicity and rage. They know very well that theres nothing here and that there was no tax benefit whatsoever. These politicians are simply ruthless. The Trump Organization, on the other hand, was charged in July with conspiracy, a scheme to defraud, and multiple counts of tax fraud and falsifying records. The company, like its longtime CFO, Allen Weisselberg, has pleaded not guilty. Earlier this week an attorney for Weisselberg said there was strong reason to believe there could be other indictments coming.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Times said the papers coverage of Donald Trumps taxes helped inform the public through meticulous reporting on a subject of overriding public interest. This lawsuit is an attempt to silence independent news organizations and we plan to vigorously defend against it. On Twitter, Craig wrote, I knocked on Mary Trumps door. She opened it. I think they call that journalism. Mary Trumps lawyer Theodore J. Boutrous Jr.said in a statement: This is the latest in a long line of frivolous lawsuits by Donald Trump that target truthful speech and important journalism on issues of public concern. It is doomed to failure like the rest of his baseless efforts to chill freedom of speech and of the press.

For her part, Mary Trump told the Daily Beast, of her uncle: I think he is a fucking loser, and he is going to throw anything against the wall he can. Its desperation. The walls are closing in, and he is throwing anything against the wall that will stick. As is always the case with Donald, hell try and change the subject.

Meanwhile, in Florida

A Republican lawmaker looked at Texass abortion bill and decided it wasnt extreme enough. Per CNN:

A Republican Florida state lawmaker on Wednesday introduced a bill that is modeled aftera strict Texas lawprohibiting abortions after six weeks, drawing condemnation from supporters of abortion rights who fear such legislation might soon be introduced in other states. House Bill 167was filed by Florida state Rep. Webster Barnaby. The bill, like the Texas law, contains a procedural feature that allows private citizens to bring lawsuits against physicians who provide abortions after six weeks as well as any person who knowingly engages in conduct that aids or abets the performance or inducement of an abortion. The Florida legislation, like the Texas law, also provides for remedies and damages.

Notably, the Florida bill allows lawsuits to be brought up to six years after an abortion was performed in violation of the law, whereas supporters of the Texas law say that measure creates a four-year window for bringing suits. Additionally, the way HB 167 is written makes it extremely difficult to challenge the prohibition until it goes into effect, and even then there are high hurdles.

As noted by the Post, committee chairman Bennie Thompson said this week that his panel will be issuing subpoenas to witnesses and organizations soon, while the National Archive has already identified hundreds of pages of documents from the Trump White House that are relevant to the investigation. As required by statute, the information is being turned over to the Biden White House and Trumps lawyers for review, per the Post. The committee had requested all documents and communications within the White House on January 6, 2021, relating in any way to the events of the day, including call logs, as well as schedules and meetings for Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Melania Trump, Jared Kushner, and other advisers, including Rudy Giuliani. According to the Post, the committee has focused, in part, on seeking information about whether the Trump White House and members of Congress played any role in encouraging the demonstrations, which interrupted the constitutionally mandated certification of electoral votes and unleashed a series of violent confrontations with the U.S. Capitol Police. Documents and testimony could show whether White House officials and members of Congress encouraged or supported those actions, congressional staffers said.

While Trump has characteristically flipped out over the information being revealed, experts say he may have little recourse if Biden decides to hand them over. The law we have is not favorable to the former president, Bob Bauer, who served as White House counsel under Barack Obama, told the Post. The executive privilege stonewalling that Trump used while he was in office wont work anymore, said Norm Eisen, a former Obama appointee.

In response to questions about White House deliberations concerning what information to release, Biden spokesman Mike Gwin told the Post that Biden views the attack on the Capitol as a dark stain on our countrys history and is deeply committed to ensuring that something like that can never happen again, and he supports a thorough investigation.

To be fair, she had her hands full lying to the American public, so

In Boeberts defense, this is like the 10th most objectionable thing shes ever done

Lindsey Graham told a crowd of Michigan Republicans that he hopes Donald Trump runs again in 2024, per The Detroit News.

Three days before, Trump trashed Graham, saying that the South Carolina lawmaker should be "ashamed" of himself.

Graham has been an on-and-off ally of Trump, initially being an outspoken critic of the former president.

Sen. Lindsey Graham told a crowd in Michigan on Saturday night that he hopes former President Donald Trump runs again in 2024, according to The Detroit News.

Speaking on the second day of the Mackinac Republican Party's Leadership Conference, The Detroit News reported that Graham elicited cheers from the crowd when he shared his hopes for Trump's political future.

"I don't think Trump is listening. He might be," Graham reportedly said. "I hope President Trump runs again."

The comments come three days after Graham was trashed by the former president - an "on-and-off ally" of his.

Earlier this week, new claims emerged that Graham and Sen. Mike Lee had personally investigated Trump's allegations that the 2020 election was stolen. According to "Peril," a new book by journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, Graham found his evidence provided to him to be elementary and suitable for "third grade."

Trump responded to the new claims by stating his Save America PAC on Wednesday night, per The Hill, in which he was critical of the South Carolina lawmaker.

"I spent virtually no time with Senators Mike Lee of Utah, or Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, talking about the 2020 Presidential Election Scam or, as it is viewed by many, the 'Crime of the Century,'" said the statement. "Lindsey and Mike should be ashamed of themselves for not putting up the fight necessary to win."

In the statement, Trump also accused him of "letting the Democrats get away with the greatest Election Hoax in history."

Story continues

Graham didn't explicitly respond to Trump's jibes on Saturday night, The Detroit News reported, but did say that the former president can be "a handful" and suggested that he "turn it down a notch."

He added that, in recent years, they have come to find common ground. "I've come to like him, and he likes him," Graham joked to the crowd.

Graham was initially an outspoken critic of Trump. He called him a "kook," a "race-baiting bigot," and "the most flawed nominee in the history of the Republican Party" during the 2016 election.

They eventually smoothed over the cracks in their fractious relationship during a meeting in 2017, according to the New Yorker, and Graham became a dependable ally of the former president.
