Since he went years without seeing Eric and Don Jr. as children, he thinks it's normal.

He's insulting the supporters to their faces with that remark. And they keep cheering.

"He is questionable to return" "Coach told me their offense needs to get going in the second half" It's grueling work.

He was a member of the party, not the head of the party.

That's some awesome reporting, WaPo! Great job. A guy that says he is not interested in running may still run. Wow. How about you report all the racist , xenophobic, sociopathic garbage that Trump spews daily at his rallies and call for the 25th amendment?

Because their hate for the establishment can't compete with their hate for people that don't look like them. He channels that hatred perfectly for them. It's no surprise birtherism began his political career.

Zig Zag Trump.

That should be the first question she's asked, if she's ever asked a question again. But I bet she won't be.

Simple question to a Republican after showing the clip he posted: "Senator/Congressman (insert), can you react to what you just saw?" But that won't be happening this week.

Even when Leavitt was around, they had long periods between briefings. We may not see her again and we'll hear she was replaced in the midterm aftermath.

A big strong Minoan expert came up to me, right out of Bronze Age central casting, with tears in his eyes, and said he'll crack Linear A in two weeks.

Great clip to show Republican guests on Sunday talk shows to respond. 'But that won't happen.

McFaul is a smart guy so this performative bewilderment is weird.

How many times have we heard Republicans say "Trump won in a landslide" with the media not pushing back on that nonsense? It's so frustrating. It was a 1.5% margin, not even a majority of the votes.

He really wanted to use another word. Maybe after the midterms.

"What is your response to an 80 year old married man commenting on the looks of a much younger woman?" - This question will not be asked to a Republican on any news show this week.

And he knows the audience loves to hear it, which is why they cheered.

I love how it's both well received by everyone and he feels the need to post that drivel. Literally admitting that most people are still using AI.

Season 3 of the Bear was the biggest waste of time watching a television show I can remember in recent times. I think I made it about two thirds into it and realized the writers made a whole season with no thought put into it. To call it filler would be a compliment. Never watched the show again.

Q: "Do you agree that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line?" Trump: "You're FAKE news."

I realize that, but this election might change that dynamic. Cooper will likely be elected in NC, so let's hope for the same in KS..

They do currently have a Democratic governor. So it's possible.

This guy is a pure political hack, who gets invited on TV as some sort of economic adviser. The only person on this earth who would give him this job is Trump, and he did it twice.

What a sick mind. And no part of this speech will even be covered by the mainstream media tomorrow. No Republican will be asked about this insanity on Sunday shows.

Yep. He's likely heading toward reelection in Missouri. People like him are horrible, but they are allowed to be horrible by their constituents.

"Phenomenal" I'd say this is disqualifying and dishonest.

If you play this clip backwards, it says "Hannitty!!! Please invite me to your show tonight!!!"

Rhodes Scholar, former John Kerry supporter, former speaker of a different English accent. It's all an act. Sadly, it keeps getting him elected.

So instead of a 6-3 ruling, it'll be a 5-3 ruling.

Amir Selmanović @amirselmanovic.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I agree, but I have a feeling that "in a 6-3 decision by the Supreme Court" will be heard a lot regarding possible state prosecutions for crimes committed during Trump's tenure. Impeachment will be worthless if not followed up by removal from office.

What we won't see is the Sunday talk shows showing these clips and asking Republicans to respond. What we also won't see is the nightly newscasts showing these to the millions that still watch those programs. No frontpage stories by the major newspapers.

I'm not surprised he is the way he is. But the corporate media will not be running any major stories that he fell asleep and looked unwell during the ceremony. It's ridiculous what he's getting away with.

The media took the bait again with this dividend nonsense. The same week where he invented a story about 9/11, which barely got any coverage.

Amir Selmanović @amirselmanovic.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
He won the news cycle with that one, as planned. Meanwhile, the serious media outlets barely covered his insane lie filled 9/11 story. Which should have resulted in universal calls for his resignation..

He spent more time with his grandparents on another continent than with his own dad.

I agree that the Dems could have more effective messaging, but it's ultimately for the mainstream media to inform much of the public. Nothing is preventing the NYT and others from calling for his resignation every single day and reporting on all the authoritarian insanity. But they won't.

His speech lasted exactly 20 minutes.
