You just know Schmitt had prebooked this show along with probably Ingraham and Hannity to launch his media tour after his big gotcha moment on Jack Smith that was going to propel him to be Vance's running mate. Instead, it's the Clown Show Power Hour. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The internet is erupting in mockery after Eric Schmitt’s spectacular Jack Smith faceplant. Now people are openly speculating: Did his team plant the glowing 2028 story AND coordinate with MAGA influencers in advance, expecting a victory lap that blew up in their faces?

GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt accused Jack Smith of perjury, claiming he had evidence Smith secretly went to an Atlanta Hawks game. Then it all backfired in real-time.

Eric Schmitt accused Jack Smith of perjury over supposed evidence placing him at an Atlanta Hawks game. There was just one problem: It was the Iowa Hawkeyes.

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).

A reminder that KKK criminal Ken Paxton offered a 1 day prison sentence in Texas for a child rapist and a judge gave that rapist a 60 day sentence which ended up being reduced to 29 days for good behavior. Ken provides protection for pedophiles as well as crooks.

Explosives were strapped to one prisoner’s leg and detonated. Russians then practiced applying a tourniquet and bandaging the wound. Another prisoner was shot in an artery near the armpit, while another was used for knife training - Russians practiced stabbing a person in the heart.

A former Wagner fighter, now in Ukrainian captivity, said Russian mercenaries in Mali used captured Africans as live subjects for brutal "tactical medicine training." In 2023-2024, Russian instructors deliberately maimed African prisoners, after which the mercenaries practiced stopping bleeding.
