This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

It's a bit of a bummer that the story today has been "look at this absolute doofus of a senator" and not "Jack Smith once again credibly accuses the president of many serious crimes"

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).

I hope we get some real reporting on how this came to happen. Did Schmitt know it was a lie, but believe that Smith somehow wouldn’t be able to disprove it on the spot? Or was it that he really just jumped the gun in the most idiotic possible way? What was with them yanking away that placard? Etc.

Eric Schmitt is on The Charlie Kirk Show (yes it's still called that) -- and believe it or not, hosts are pretending he owned Smith with his embarrassingly botched gotcha "You caught him in this NBA game too in Atlanta" "Yeah," Schmitt says There's no mention that Schmitt had all his facts wrong

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

Oh for gods sake. First, while it’s true that Florida has the highest ACA enrollment in the country, no, there are not "5 x more people enrolled in Obamacare in Florida than live in the state." Around 19% of the total population is enrolled, which is high but hardly over 100%. 1/5th =/= 5x.

It’s really that simple. His ego and megalomania tie everything together—the war, the tariffs, the economy, affordability, the grift, the corruption, and his attempts to glorify himself with shiny objects large and small.

Terry Moran: The reason Republicans are looking at a grim midterms is because the president clearly doesn’t give a damn about the real problems people are facing across the country, across the great political divide.

All he cares about is himself, his money, and his own glorification.
