John Solomon Confirms Todd Blanche is FAR More Abusive Than Jack Smith emptywheel.net/2026/10/06/j...

Yep.

After yesterday’s Senate hearing, it’s crystal clear that Jack Smith should be the next Attorney General.

Trump rallies: now with complimentary down-ballot damage.

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?

Decades from now when the histories of this era are written, Jack Smith will be remembered as someone who did his job honorably and told the truth without fear or prejudice.

Imagine how luck Schmitt is that he doesn’t represent a state that has the Jets, Mets and Nets. He’d never figure out who was doing what.

This is who they are. This is literally today's Republicans bringing their A game. It's the best they have to offer.

A study in valor. Imagine testifying against the most powerful criminal on the planet?

🤡 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:

If you ever feel the need to make people laugh but can't think of a good joke, just say the words "Senator Eric Schmitt"

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.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Maybe after the midterms we can actually celebrate our 250th anniversary. Anyone notice how this was a bust ? What should have been a huge national celebration was a Trump Disaster. Where did national pride go ? I am tired of being ashamed of what is happening here. Time for change.

My wife asked me to run back down to the breakfast bar and get her some yogurt (which I had apparently forgotten on a previous retrieval trip) and I came back without it. Seems those women fully made up and coiffed but in PAJAMAS threw my game off. I will be never get those 5 minutes back.

Instead of putting trump’s likeness on coins or passports why not put it on gas pumps or wheatie’s boxes.

Anyone else thankful the Artemis II launch went off without a hitch ? Everything else this administration does is a disaster so why not space travel.

We had the American dream and then we feel asleep at the wheel.

Can Trump even tell one truth ?

Think the thing I love most about the Olympics are the country pride stories. Stories of national identity tied to a particular sport. The Nordic countries are beasts in the Alpine events. Makes you smile.

Anyone want to bet the import beef agreement called for free beef for all Trump properties ? Would it surprise you?

I watched with dismay the local news as they described a shooting at a liver mush factory in NC. Leave these people alone. They are doing God's work. @thomtillisistoast.bsky.social @atticus59914029.bsky.social

Anyone remember what happened when the economy was flooded with checks during the first Trump presidency? Inflation skyrocketed (which he later blamed on someone else). Check are nice. The hangover not so nice. We are all still paying for this poor decision.

Went into a big box home do it your self warehouse. Price on the display for what I was buying was $99. Price on the shelf was $106. Looks like inflation has spread and no one is even talking about it. Let’s kill people and destroy landmarks so people do not realize they are being squeezed.

Just looked at Part D drug plans for wife. Drug costs 2025 vs 2026 went up by 100%. Tariffs ? Guess I will be calling my non working republican congressman sitting at home on his hands. Got nothing better to do but gerrymander.

Anyone notice how the stock market actually likes a shutdown government and Congress staying home ? Somehow the money always knows. Follow the money.

So let’s get this straight - Trump screwed the pooch by getting outmaneuvered by a south American dictator who is now selling soybeans to the Chinese so the US has to bail out soybean farmers with wait for it - tariff revenue. In the meantime your cost of groceries continue to soar. Genius.

The chances of the USA winning the Ryder Cup went down exponentially once Trump wasted tax dollars to get booed.

What is next ? Will there be an executive order outlawing seat belts ? There are no restraints on anything. Let’s add that to the fray.

So let me understand this - my son who has been a public school teacher for years and still has student loans could become an ICE agent and get forgiveness for his loans. Priorities are important. Teachers or ICE agents. Lifting up the children or deporting the innocent.

@dechambeau.bsky.social Nice suit. Poor choice of places to wear it.

Can we really trust any numbers Trump releases ?

Why isn't there any pushback on the Trump phone being made outside the US ? Is this not the ultimate grift ? Where is the outcry ?

Anyone notice how all the data from the government claims unemployment and inflation are down, and there has been expansion in the labor market BUT the data supplied by nongovernment sources such as retail sales all point to a declining economy. Can we really trust the government figures ?

@bishopkencarter.bsky.social time to get down to business. Something you already know - cabinets are important.

Does it concern anyone else that when Trump says something we view it through the lens of “is he doing this to make him look strong, big, important” not he must be doing this in the best interest of the US. Trump’s best interests are not always our best interests. Actually the majority of the time.

So if the manufacturer is going to absorb the price increases from the tariffs why did I just get an email saying “buy now before the price increases” ? #TrumpInflation

Let me understand this. Apple should manufacture the iPhone in the US. So what happens when the foreign made competition controls market share due to the price differential. Is this not selective enforcement of tariffs ? Targeting specific companies, not industries. Help me understand. #TrumpSlump

@thomtillisistoast.bsky.social How much do you believe the big Tillis-is-a-moderate-because-look-he-tanked-a-Trump- nominee is all for appearances ? The nominee was not going to win so let's make it up to help save Tillis. Smart move but quite obvious. Stripes do not change.

Just watched Squawk Box where Peter Navarro ignored the questions AND Becky. Then blamed the Biden administration for the poor economy and made up things like the facts. So on point.

We are a financially comfortable retired couple. With all the upheaval we have decided to delay some major projects at the house and maybe limit our trips. Normally we would not consider this but we have doubts there is a plan to get things under control. Simple math problem. #TrumpSlump

Our United Methodist Church in South Charlotte has a great group of Ukrainians in its ESL program. If they are deported maybe we should test the “church is a safe sanctuary principle”. Test our own principles. Live what we believe. @Bishopkencarter.bsky.social

Real Americans love ethnic food …and people. #RealAmericans

Been thinking about what Real Americans are so sty tuned. Real Americans drive gas powered and electric powered vehicles … and sometimes even drive horse drawn carriages. @gtconway.bsky.social. @Lizcheney.bsky.social @mediastouch.com
