Eric Schmitt really thought he had a “gotcha” moment. When your central narrative depends on whether someone was at an Atlanta Hawks game or an Iowa Hawkeyes game in Maryland, perhaps it’s time to step back and check the facts before holding another hearing. Schmitt the Schmuck! #SheShed #Pinks

Yes, Republicans. The entire news cycle on your moronic Jack Smith hearing will now be dominated by Eric Schmitt’s basketball game buffoonery and John ‘Foghorn Leghorn’ Kennedy asking Smith about the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy. Brilliant job, once again by the feckless fools.

If you ever feel the need to make people laugh but can't think of a good joke, just say the words "Senator Eric Schmitt"

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.

I didnt know it gets funnier than a whole ass United States Senator accusing a man of being at a Hawks game in ATL when he was at a Hawkeyes game in MD, BUT... He let every media outlet know he had a big moment coming so they all saw him clown himself and watched Amy Klobuchar clean up the pieces.

Through US history, no matter how bad they might have been, the title of US president commanded some respect, some authority, Until this f'ing 🍊🤡. Now it's just an embarrassing joke.

I have written a lot recently about the U-shape in happiness being present in the data from around 1985-2015 and then it gradually disappeared Now we have evidence that the well-being of the young has improved sharply since 2023 - in the YRBS and BRFSS the hump shape in despair in 2025/6 is back

Seems a big question is what to do once the Trump stain is gone. Bulldoze buildings, jail the sycophants and crooks? After Watergate 40 govt officials indicted or jailed Haldeman and Erlichman (WH staff) jailed John Dean (WH legal counsel), jailed John Mitchell, Attorney-General jailed

If you believe that gas and diesel prices are high in late September 2026 because of Biden and Zelenskyy, then you might be a Trump supporter. And a moron. Which is pretty much the same thing.

Since Trump became president CPI prices are up 5.45% Jan 2025=317.671 Aug 2026=334.980 where 100=1982-1984

Lying piece of shit Trump claimed he was pulled out of a building on 9/11 by two firefighters. Of course he wasn’t Unclear why the media hasn’t tried to find them and play his filthy game Would be great to have them confirm what he said On him to produce them Garbage
