This is such a flagship moment for where America is right now. Gun violence, showmanship, celebrity, mass confusion, and also according to C-SPAN, people are opening the bottles of wine still on the tables.

Sure, Rousey is a toxic brand that needs AEW far more than they need her, but she’s also a terrible performer with zero showmanship. #AEWrevolution

The photograph's a composite, of course. Not even Tesla took that much of a risk for his showmanship!
A good science book can spark so many interests and galvanize enthusiasm for the wonders of the natural world!

The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.

All voters look for showmanship, guts, and a sense that this candidate is fighting for YOU. I’m not sure why some Dem politicians think “we find acceptable middle ground with feudalists” is a better pitch
We are 18 months out from an election. Now is the time to (1) shore up the base, who *is* paying attention & is fucking furious, and (2) build the narrative playing field we want to be working on in September 2026. Stop playing scared.

With respect: Anyone who says Beyonce is overrated is not a serious person. Vocal mastery, performance level, & showmanship are measurable. If you don't acknowledge her skill, you are either not a musician or you have ulterior motives for tearing her down. You don't have to be a fan to recognize.

None of it can be done without a Presidential signature or 2/3 veto override anyway. Showmanship bills are all that will happen from January 2027-2029 -- better they be aggressive showmanship bills than milquetoast or nothing at all
