Wondering if she’s an appropriate hire is a far cry from “hating” her.

I actually attempted a sequel when new tapes showed RN and Kissinger explicitly discussing the need to prolong the vietnam war until after the ’72 election. No buyers.

@smerconish Michael, isn’t it possible that the reaction at CBS News to Weiss’ leap to the top is based not on ideology but on a little thing called competence?

He hates dogs. Every DJT reference to dogs is negative, my favorite being “sweating like a dog”.

The Felon-in-Chief "polled the MAGA influencers on which network is the worst (MSNBC, which he called "sick," was first, and CNN, which is "dying like a dog" was second).”—Reliable Sources newsletter.
Does he know that dogs also live?

@jaketapper.bsky.social You said on today’s SOTU that President Trump wrote “THe Art of the Deal”. Surely you know by now it was written by Tony Schwartz, the “ghost writer” on the project.

You want “corruption” or “deep-seated”. Recently released tapes have RMN and Kissinger discussing, repeatedly, the need to prolong the Vietnam War until after the ‘72 election.

@smerconish.bsky.social Re: hard hat riot. It marked the end of DP’s dependence on organized labor for money and manpower. That might be why the last 3 Dem presidents haven’t even mentioned the idea of raising the minimum wage.

@smerconish Re: your opening segment, doesn’t the current occupant of the White House consider himself a consummate deal-maker? Might he be leading his party in that direction?
