Everything these corrupt clowns do is for show, actually just for a show. The entire right-wing media apparatus is just theatre. Fucking clowns. We need to bring back the stockades and public shaming!!
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

If not nazis, then the American Taliban. That’s today’s Republican Party!
New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:
Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem
A spate of recent revelations have shown the ideologies and their adherents are one and the same.

You cannot make this stuff up.

The GOP’s Dallas midterm convention put Ross Ulbricht—the Silk Road founder convicted on 7 federal counts, including narcotics trafficking and money laundering—on stage.

Trump pardoned him in 2025.

TWO LIFE SENTENCES.

And THIS is who they’re putting on a pedestal?

The reason the fascists have started by trying to kill trans kids is they've calculated — apparently correctly — that nobody, not even medical professionals, will stop them. It's extremely sad. Kids are gonna die as a result of these soulless jerks and those stupidly just complying with them.

Everybody everybody everybody should be so terrified of how little these "healthcare" institutions give a fuck about health.
This is an extremely troubling development. It’s so disappointing and dangerous.

The attacks on transgender Americans are an urgent threat to our freedom.

Problem is the message is not being received where it’s most needed. Thanks to the Sinclair-ification of local media, and the Fox-ification almost everywhere else. Not to mention oligarch capture of most social media…

Medicaid cuts. NIH trials canceled. Environmental protections gutted. "Lots of marketing, little substance" on food policy.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed.

Get big money out of politics.

Strengthen unions and boost wages.

Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more...

This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for.

It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

Perfect response
On CNN, El-Sayed is asked about this Trump post.

He says it represents "two different visions of America:"

"Two people who don't like each other but are joined in the interest of making billions of dollars off of you. Or, two people who genuinely love each other, enjoying some panacakes together."

See @mtsw.bsky.social response. The NYT headlines are rage-bait.
if the moderate wing of the Dem party would spend even half of the energy they are spending fighting the DSA on fighting Trump they wouldn't be losing so many primaries to the DSA
"We are preparing for the next war that is coming": Abdul El-Sayed's victory in Michigan and the rise of DSA candidates in multiple states have Democrats at odds with each other over the identity and future of the party. @shanegoldmacher.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

They are the American Taliban. You remember the right wing outrage over the Taliban. It turns out they don’t mind the actions of the Taliban - just the religion.
This exactly. Happening in real time. They’d never overturn Roe v Wade (they did), now they’re after the pills, next will be gay marriage. These people are the american taliban and won’t stop ever. Giving up one group of people will just embolden them to take on the next group in line.

The level of disrespect this regime shows to their fellow Americans reaches a level that’s completely incompatible with democracy. These people literally believe they have the right to kill people who disagree with them. It’s disgusting.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights.

Oh, he killed a Democrat you say? Oh, go ahead and give him a pardon then. Heck, we’ll make sure he gets a Presidential Medal of Freedom whilst we’re at it. And a couple of mill from the anti weaponization fund as well. I mean; it’s a democrat he killed! Does the guy want to run for his seat?
