Eric Schmitt fully deserves to be ridiculed for his embarrassing display-attacking Jack Smith But don’t let MAGA Senator Kennedy-who eagerly rushed to help Schmitt-off the hook for his own farcical performance during the same hearing The funniest thing is, these two stooges thought they had Smith

Why won’t network evening news broadcasts show their audience video of Trump dozing off during press events in the Oval Office in the middle of the day while people are talking, as he’s done dozens and dozen of times? Is that not newsworthy? Is it impolite? Will you lose access?

Trump continues to steal your money to pay for political ads while media companies continue to be co-conspirators to a crime by accepting the stolen funds.

Media companies who accept taxpayer money for Trump’s illegal campaign ads should be investigated and prosecuted if appropriate. Media executives accepting this money should be subpoenaed to appear before a Democratic Congress to explain why they are complicit in a crime.

I know this is shocking, but it never seems to work out for them when Republicans bring right-wing internet conspiracies into courtrooms or committee hearings where the opposition actually gets to see their “evidence” and respond to it. They fare much better with the cultists on X.

Millions of dollars that Trump is using to support Republican candidates was donated to his PAC by wealthy fraudsters and their family members before they were pardoned for their crimes. Instead of crime victims getting restitution, Republicans got campaign cash from the felons.

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...

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

So far Trump has tried to rig the midterms by: 1. Attempted to nationalize voter registration & voting requirements. 2. Mid-decade gerrymanders. 3. Tried to use the USPS to obstruct mail-in balloting. 4. Used taxpayer money for ads. 5. Intimidation of election officials.

"These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence." –@michaeldweiss.bsky.social
Screenshot of a quote-tweet by @michaeldweiss dated 27 Sep 2026. The original tweet is from "Sigal Chattah" (@Chattah4Nevada), and reads "Love is in the air [two heart emojis] Congrats [champagne emoji] to our amazing @AlinaHabba & @turhanmildoin [three emojis showing the Hamsa, a blue hand with an eye in it]." That text appears above a picture showing Kash Patel, Alina Habba, and others at a wedding ceremony. In his quote-tweet, Michael Weiss writes: "Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence."

According to Trump, Iran wants to make a deal badly and is begging to surrender to him because they are completely destroyed but he doesn’t want to accept that so the war must continue and he will bomb them again very strongly and powerfully right after the midterm elections.
