But it has startled European capitals and Kyiv, raising questions about the US’s intentions and its starkly different approach to pressing Moscow to end its war in Ukraine. 1312147

dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 11/10/2026good example of the numerous things that are bizarre unless trump is a russian agent. he's waging a full assault on renewable energy tech. he's setting progress back, significantly. it's clearly against american interests and it is costing us, both monetarilly and by further climate destabilization. 041
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 11/10/2026if trump wanted to make sure he got indicted by doj, if he wanted to be indicted by doj, or if someone controlling him wanted him to be indicted by doj, then that would explain trump's behavior with the documents. he even showed them to journalists, while being recorded. garland seemed incensed. 000
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 11/10/2026thank you. descriptions of trumps's espionage act indictment almost always fail to include key info. like, he knew he had the documents while doj was demanding them and he actively crimed to avoid giving them back. it wasn't simply "oops classified documents." we deserve to know what volume 2 says. 052
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 11/10/2026shame has a big role to play, here. we need to be shaming a lot more people, a lot more. 2284

dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 10/10/2026and let's remember to not put it past the weasel that he may try to weasel his way out of accountability (for being a damn russian agent) by feigning dementia. 251
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 08/10/2026he knows he is actively cratering this country and is proactively laying disinfo to pin the coming depression on the dems. 050

dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026editors avoid outbound links. cheap marketing trick. instagram disallows links, for that reason. they want to keep you in the app. twitter, under musk, down-ranked posts with links. @nytimes.com wants to keep you in the casino. news outlets should realize that to be valuable they must deliver value 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026it's interesting that the hearing was scheduled for a month before the midterms. dems and smith were waiting to do this hearing for a year, the gop was holding it up. then they do this, now. it doesn't seem like they can make much hay with it. it almost seems like they want to lose the midterms. 000
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026so he tries calling cruz, but he’s not there, so he calls kennedy. at many points, grassley has wandered off and the senators carry on without him. grassley was not really tracking or enforcing time for the questioning sessions. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026throughout the whole thing, smith is navigating, fielding and speaking well. the gop rhetoric about subpoenas are repeatedly explained away by smith, very easily. there is a farcical aspect to it. grassley at one point tries calling lee, but he’s not there, 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026that’s how he rationalizes to himself that he should just sling a bunch of bullshit while not actually knowing what’s really going on. this is the cap on grassley’s hearing. the only true believer and he’s just wagging his head like a yokel. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20263:59:35 - the regrettable senator hawley. it’s as bad as you might expect it to be. it’s painful. he seems to be the only idiot actually drinking the kool aid, this time. his essence shines through, a shit-kicker who thinks he’s punching above his weight. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026use their congressional authority to access volume 2 of jack smith’s report. i would agree that the report on his espionage act crimes should come to light. i want to know what evidence smith unearthed about trump seeking profit in exchange for access to these national security secrets. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026tillis seemed to be treating the situation with the appropriate gravity, and spoke to smith courteously. 3:48:45 - whitehouse. of course he uses his time expertly. one thing i recall from this is that he pointed out that, if the committee decided to, they could likely 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20263:28:25 - schiff does a good job 3:39:20 - tillis. at times he seemed to be apologizing for his republican colleagues. at times he seemed to be trying to encourage jack smith to speak about things that might help his republican colleagues to see the truth. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026pretending the exchange didn’t just happen, and continues to assault jack smith personally and lay deceit. lindsey would be smiling down on her for effectively lying for personal gain despite knowing the truth and going against her values. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026the twist was when smith levels his gaze at her and solemnly says graham was a righteous public servant who was a witness in his investigation and who likely would have provided evidence against trump at trial. graham’s sister sidesteps that into an alternate reality, 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20263:20:20 - graham. lindsey’s sister. about what you would expect, but with a plot twist at the end. she uses her questioning time the way you would expect a rookie congress person who shares dna with lindsey graham to. callously lays deceit with some charm to help the gaslighting. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026like when you strike the right tone for this absolutely insane time that we are living in. like at many points of the hearing, the theme is soaring, poignant and deeply important. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026challenging task in this moment. and he does it. he was formulating and delivering at such a high level that the specific words sometimes were imprecise, but you know what he means, and he didn’t care because he was focusing on trying to show people what it sounds 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20263:07:05 - booker. one of the highlights of an interesting hearing. he laid fire, as he does. but, more than that, this seemed to be an experiment in seeing what it would sound like if you actually tried to strike the right tone, something that actually seems to be an impossibly 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20262:55:30 - cruz. yes, he sleekly delivers a performance of reprehensible reality inversions. he sounds like an idiot. but this is not the fired up cruz from other hearings. he too seems de-balled. if 99 senators convicted trump, cruz wouldn’t be the 1. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20262:29:20 - hirono, as usual, speaks to the point and adds some refreshing color 2:37:55 - cornyn seeming meek, and seems to try to communicate that he is open minded (to reality). cornyn seems movable. 2:46:55 - welch does a good job. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026he seemed to be genuinely open-minded and interested to understand what’s really going on. it’s difficult for me to know if that was just a front. i was wondering if he is fearful of a tight race but he is not up this year. i think lee is movable, which is interesting. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026that’s mike lee. during his time, his questions were tepid and measured, throughout. he spoke about subject matter that often related to republican propaganda but a lot of his questions seemed to be genuine inquiries, asking for information. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026he often is one of the most dangerous mouthpieces of propaganda because he gets so intense about it. i seem to recall him and rand paul running around, lobbying senators against convicting trump, during the 2021 impeachment trial, when at first it seemed mcconnell may tank trump. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20262:06:05 - blumenthal does a good job 2:17:05 - lee’s time was fascinating, because i am familiar with lee. he is known to veer from the sensible to the wildly insane, and always with a wide-eyed intensity. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20261:54:35 - hot chick senator britt tries to deliver a good performance but the camera captures the underlying tremor that you can see throughout her time. she can sense that she is delivering propaganda against profoundly important and righteous public servants. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20261:41:00 - klobuchar admirably handles the vibe after schmitt’s misguided insults and proceeds to use her time well. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20261:29:55 - the regrettable senator schmitt. no, he’s not up for reelection this year. 2028 in missouri. you probably saw 100 posts about his baseball game gambit. that was just the tail end of his long time of embarrassment. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026they all try (except tillis, and lee, too, in a way, and kind of cornyn, too) to do the party line but look secretly mortified at their own actions. 1:18:40 - coons does an excellent job 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026cynicism is a catalyst for making monsters. he lays down the misdirection plays that his team have been running, but he is sounding weak, like nearly all the republicans in this hearing. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20261:06:50 - kennedy. blood drains from his face. 4 times, he repeatedly tries to bring up jack smith’s wife. dripping with shame, he must know the harm he is doing. “it’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it.” this is how i imagine senator kennedy rationalizes his own actions to himself. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/202628:05 - durban does a good job 40:40 - smith’s opening statement. he is on point. 45:40 - questioning starts with grassley. he seems relieved to reach the end of his time. 56:40 - durban does well. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/20267:35 - grassley starts. 3 syllables at a time, then needs a breath. you’ve got to think this guy has some sense of the evil he’s covering up. a salad of weak arguments and misleading deceit, delivered with a hint of shame. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026you’ll binge a show but you won’t watch this? this is the real shit that all the fiction tries to approximate but never can. it’s 4 hours. break it up into 2 evenings. treat yourself to some good food and some drinks. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026jack smith is an extremely seasoned, professional, expert, and sober practitioner of law, who spent years doing a careful and lawful investigation. at times there was vibe like a weird group therapy session. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026at times, you could see them hearing things. many of these people were at the capital on january 6th and had reason to fear for their lives on that day. they actually understand that trump nearly succeeded in indefinitely delaying the certification of the election, on january 6th. 100
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026at times this hearing had a vibe like a family meeting. some republicans may be feeling the pull to come to jesus as they usher in nuclear child sex trafficking russian kompromat caesar. dems, at times, were trying to speak to them. jack smith, of course, was trying to speak to them. 110
dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social @dontlistentoanyone.bsky.social · 03/10/2026we actually have to do this. if we miss the chance to remove him from office, we will regret it. why? he will give the military orders they should refuse. spoiler, that’s the final act. that’s where we get to, if we don’t remove him. 100
