On a daily basis I hear on CNN some level of normalization of the master grifter. They laugh, they bend a bit to the Republican guests on the show. It is consistent. It's fun time, you see. This is daytime and on Saturdays mostly. The other day Tapper was somehow dismissive of the 92 page Summary Judgement by Judge Angoron, a New York State Supreme Court Justice as to the details of systematic conspiracy to inflate the grifter organization's net worth. The final judgement of $355 million underscores both the gravity of the conspiracy as well as the abhorrent behavior of this master grifter in the courtroom. His disgusting mafia-like behavior and with the Judge even enduring a bomb threat at his home.
This leads me to recommend that all of the legal documents related to all of the cases need to be sent to CNN, to relatives, to friends, to your kids. Not only all of the court cases but the Mueller Report, the first impeachment Report, the January 6th Committee findings and other detailed works uncovering what this dementor has done. It is all available in a quick search. We are all overwhelmed by this, however these serious findings must be read. Each one of them should scare the _____ out of you that this dementor, after doing all that he has done is now getting a second run at taking over this country. Read the Project 2025 - Presidential Transition Document put out by the so called Heritage Foundation. All of us must be knowledgeable as to the severe threat facing us.
Voting is not going to be enough. Not one utterance, nor one despicable act of this dementor should be normalized. Think about it, last month he spent five minutes discussing golden showers at a high school gym in Iowa. Why would he bring that up? In front of families? Does not that one act (one of thousands) disqualify him to be the President of the United States of America?
Let's get going. This is one if by land, certainly.
Let's hope that some of Steve's interviews go viral, or, at least, are replayed in or by other media venues where independent voters, perhaps wavering MAGAs, and NEW voters will receive CONVINCING and CONCISE and PRECISE and POWERFUL and POIGNANT and CRUCIAL commentary leaving NO DOUBT in their minds that the Mandarin Mussolini MUST BE DEFEATED. He is NOT a Republican, by any qualification, merely a grifter who uses their party as a means to achieve his personnel goals. I hope to see Steve debate ANY MAGA politician on ANY subject of their choice. He will obliterate them, one and all. Thanks, Scripps for enlisting his profound insight(s).
It is a question I've wanted to ask to members of Lincoln Project, Meidas Touch, Pod Save America, New Abnormal, and, of course, yourself.
Are interview invites ever sent out to members of the alt-right/Republican/MAGA podcasts? Such as: Ben Shapiro? Candace Owens? Ben Ferguson? Steve Bannon, et al.?
It would be compelling, and perhaps enlightening, for one and all, to listen to them defend their positions against those who speak the truth, seek the truth and demand truth.
Seems to me THEY might even hear the idiocy and fallacies of their opinions and beliefs when confronted with the TRUTH, and, better still, maybe their listeners would too.
Your words and knowledge augment my limited vocabulary and debate points when I'm squared off with a MAGA or a wavering Independent or outright dissident and help me to give them "food for thought," which, in most cases is (though hard to believe at this point, 8 years down the road from when "things changed") a simple, though more circumspect, recitation of historical FACTS and present-time TRUTHS.
Encourage SCRIPPS to invite the likes of Bannon or Shapiro or Owens on YOUR segment so that you can square off with them. We all know that ANY controversial video clip has the potential to go viral, I'd love nothing better than to see you go on a streak of trouncing the likes of Hannity and Cruz, et al., with each and every clip turning the minds of their supporters away from them, and toward the TRUTH.
Yes, I also want to see 'Schmidt Storms' go viral on social media. Steve's powerful presence, his ability to quickly, clearly, vigorously and fearlessly educate about our most important foundational principles, and to WARN about the dire threat our Democracy faces needs to go viral! I feel that Steve has far more power on screen than the Lincoln Project does. If Steve had some shorter 'The Warning' videos with those hard-punches he delivers, his videos will get the attention we need from those NEW voters, motivate Dem voters, and even convert some of the MAGA-cult (they respond to what I call 'the cool factor' and hard-hitting rhetoric...but Steve undeniably delivers the TRUTH -it can be felt.) I live in rural Montana and know the people here very well, including my own family. Steve can punch through to some of them. Thank you for your comments and yes we need: "...CONVINCING and CONCISE and PRECISE and POWERFUL and POIGNANT and CRUCIAL commentary.." Run with it, Steve. Take it TO MAGA like nobody else can do! Thanks.
Thanks, as always, for your ongoing support, Lisa. On a daily basis, my team does also take clips from my long-form video commentaries and edits them into YouTube shorts, as well as social posts for Facebook, IG, Twitter and TikTok. Be sure to check them out too.
Nikki must stay in the race, all the way to the convention. If she batters Trump for the next 3-4 monrhs, and then the Democrats pick up on that theme and continue it with an onslaught of TFG bashing in the Fall, we may yet save our Republic.
Also- I wonder if the Koch's stopped supporting Haley because she refused to pledge to endorse Trump .
Pure powerful excellence, Steve. I was most affected by the photos of the multi-cultural American citizens on the city streets (at 8:41 min and 8:48 min in the video). I stopped and looked at those photos several times. The second one shows people going to work, living their lives, supporting their children, hiring baby-sitters...doing everything American people do in a free Democracy. These photos, following your impactful delivery about Fascism being a deadly virus in human history which sickens the heart and soul, was a power-punch. Keep up the good fight. Thanks!
CNN is losing it. Don't spend too much watching them. They do a very bad job of calling out the BS from the Republicans they have on. The same goes for their Republican commentators. Trump and his lackeys know how to play them and use them and they will continue to do it until CNN wakes up - if ever?
Murray, CNN went full fascist cheerleader with the run up to and during the course of the illegal and aggressive war of the invasion during Operation Iraqi Liberty (OIL, until it was changed quickly to Freedom), all for Cheney’s Halliburton lust for oil. CNN always pushed for Oligarchical Special Rights. But CNN reached new lows of groveling and supine servility to Herr Pumpkin Furhrer when it asked Putinesk, Tucker-Carlson type softball questions and abandoned any professional ethics. Ironically, when the righteous criticism and furor descended on the moderator and CNN, the gay descendent of Gloria Vanderbilt and entitled oligarchical lover Anderson Cooper, outed himself as an Ivan Ilyin - philosopher (died 1954) when he defended CNN’s descent into Russian lies, propaganda, and endless virginal victimhood.
Steve, you are today’s Marquis de Lafayette, you uphold his rights of man and of the citizen. All of us have our shortcomings, but you are a man with whom I would resolutely go into battle to preserve, protect, and sustain that abstract Euclidian proposition given to us by the first revolution in thought on July 4, 1776, that all men (and women) are created equal. God bless you.
The Senators of the Republican Party, such as Mitch McConnell, John Thune, and Tom Cotton are embracing Trump rather than rejecting him.
This only emboldens him. I’m glad Haley is staying in the race, but would not anyone think that Old Man McConnell might want to do the right thing as the capstone to his career? Boldly declare that this man must be kept far away from The Oval Office?
Yes, it’s unthinkable that old Mitch doesn’t take the opportunity to put TFG in his place… but unthinkable Only to those who see reality and take it to heart ♥️ Unthinkable only to those who are not rotten to the core with power by corruption…. Yes 🙌 say no to CNN too ! Thanks 🙏 Steve! Good job ! 👏 😌
Why is everyone saying ostensibly that Trump will win? We are the larger voting segment of the population. It seems as though no one thinks the trials and Jack Smith will do squat. Mainstream media is useless, therefore, I look to the Meidas Touch, Rawstory, and others if I want real news.
I like this. I am troubled by the fact that 74 million Americans voted for him in 2020. After seeing a first term, 74 million Americans decided they wanted a second term. I struggle to get past that, as I also struggle with the kind of people we are electing these days — the Lt. Governor of North Carolina is a Holocaust Denier. I kid not. That said, I tend to think your point holds up. Sure hope so.
It doesn't matter if he wins all the Republican primary - he is winning by less than he should be winning by - so if 40% of the Reps are not voting for him, that's not a bad thing. He can win, but he will not win the election. More and more people are NOT voting for him. Only his die hard nutcases. SO THERE!!!!
I tend to think this Trump thing is a social malady caused by two things. Charles Dickens is one the who actually said it: ignorance and want cause social maladies. Is Trump a malady? Yes, he is. Is he caused by ignorance and want? I’d say so. And I’d add a few other things too. But, importantly, those other things just derive from ignorance and want.
With regard to the speech last weekend at the Black Conservative Federation in South Carolina, one only need to read;

Those attending that evening should really take a read before supporting this dementor. Blatant racism post the enactment of the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Blacks were secretly coded "#9". Do not be fooled.
Dr. Morton, yes, maybe, but given the Russian fascist attacks on gays and others i thought it was especially odious that Anderson Cooper defended CNN and its Trumpian Propaganda Gift.

Cannot stand CNN. Great reply.
Right On! We do NOT have a two-party system. Democrats vs Trump/MAGA-Fascist Coup.

She refused to pledge to endorse Trump but will vote for him and pardon him. Seriously, WTF?
I guess Haley will do whatever serves her future career best. Picking away at Trump probably isn’t it.
Fred Astair & Ginger Rogers ain’t got nothin’ on her. Her tap dancing is second to none!
