  1. It's hilarious how Trump fixates on the "MASSIVE SHOW OF FORCE!!! THE TOTAL DOMINATION!!!!" and Walz talks about the justness of the protesters' fury, and the determination to see justice done and amends made. Trump had his fingers in his ears through all that "LALALALALALALALALALALAAAAAA!!!" Wotta dope.

  2. She actually called me and spoke to me for about ten or fifteen minutes, asking my views, and I gave them to her. My main point was, "FIGHT for Democrats' values", and fight fire with fire. She was very generous with her time, and very amiable.

  3. With Trump's and Kari Lake's voter turnouts, and this Hegseth announcement, America has plainly passed the tipping point of stupid. FATAL stupidity.

  4. You can tell Trump's "game" today is exactly NO different than it was in the 9th grade. AT ALL.

  5. The demon that attacked Carlson was actually Kimberly Guilfoyle, but if you've seen her pics, you know it was an honest mistake Tucker's made.

  6. It's intended to be a vehicle for grift and nothing more. Well, maybe also decomposition of competent government.

  8. That's about the kindest word ever for what he is.

  9. MTG's furiously jealous that Loomer has become Trump's "Mile High Club" pal. That's MIDGE'S "slot".

  10. Well, that kid surely can't trust the DOJ anymore.

  11. Dear Sam, never, EVER let a wife, girlfriend, partner, mother, friend talk you into putting 18th century-looking toile-appearing lotus print wallpaper on the ceiling. Ever.

  12. That plastic bag from the French design house "Maison Hephte' " really suits Megyn, more than she knows. And she's perfectly accessorized it too.

  13. THAT is the absolute fact. And mental health examinations too.

  18. Years ago I had a paralegal who had sent out one of my computers to a tech for some work. It was taking forever to get it back, so I asked her to contact him and press him to finish it up and get it back to me. Well, after a bit, I get a call from the guy, and he's all freaked out and telling me she's making death threats to him about the fckng computer!!!!! I was stunned - I mean, this was a 40+ year old woman! So I called her in and told her to bring to me printouts of all her emails back and forth to him, and sure enough - literal death threats. Not even subtle. I fired her on the spot. And she had the nerve to ask me for "severance pay." People, honest to God.

  21.  @rwo5402  He has immunity for official acts, the SCOTUS said so - remember?

  22. If Trump prevails, there will be rebellion in this country against him. He will do whatever he does from a bunker beneath the White House. I am sure there will be rebellion. People will not accept that this deranged, ravenous jackel is once again at the helm. Not gonna happen.

  23. I found that siren at the beginning annoying and unhelpful, but I just figured it was city noise, downtown DC, and made no connection to a protest. Then it went away. But it did piss me off, and I thought, "is someone trying to screw with her big moment?"

  24. C'mon, Tim. Isn't it a little early to conclude that "old looking" Tim Walz is stealing momentum from Veep Harris? He appeared very energetic and ready to brawl to me in that video.

  26. Two massive hurricanes hit Florida last fall. We need Canada's lumber. Trump is an IDIOT.

  27. This neon orange freakshow is completely insane. The whole "I said that sarcastically" - he said he "lost by a whisker" ONLY LAST TUESDAY, and TODAY he's pretending he didn't say it, or said it sarcastically???!!! He's insane.'

  28. Tim, Will, this is a GREAT video, and DEAD ON in all observations. Thank you!!!

  29. Did he sneak away in a rural Wisconsin Motel 6 with Laura Loomer by any chance?

  30. And I don't mean to sound racist, but rather refer to what appears to be a common, prevalent mindset among some, and that is that the D'Souzas and Ramaswamys are not far removed in their obsessions and demands of the world from the accountant son of the drycleaner down the block who saws his engineer wife's head off because she burned the french fries. I'm just saying. It's a way of looking at the world, and it ain't healthy.

  33. i don't think Joe Biden wants to tolerate a world where his son gets pilloried for the sake of politics, while at the same time the LEGAL SYSTEM and the constitution at its top, along with an absolutely BS fifty year old "policy" of the DOJ and a corrupt Righty majority on the SCOTUS who have licensed and encouraged Trump's criminality, allow an inexhaustibly prodigious felon criminal to walk away from his crimes AND 73 million idiots vote to return that criminal to power. I do understand the principle of the thing, but the people who have no principles wouldn't be sated by Biden's rigor in any event, and so why demur from pardoning his only surviving son over what was a BS charge anyway? "The quality of mercy is not strained." Ol Joe tried to show mercy to tens of millions of Americans including those who sneered at his attempts most aggressively. So let him show mercy to his own son, while he has the power to do so. I don't think he ever should have said he wouldn't pardon Hunter. That was a mistake. Pardoning him isn't. As "caught cases" go, Hunter's was a dumper.

  34. I would LOVE to know how many Trump voters are now experiencing this hideous stress and fear. I mean I would REALLY like to know. Names and addresses would be even better!!

  35. I love the idea of a shark frenzy turning on Hegseth to expel him from their midst. I hope it doesn't end with Hegseth.

  36. Tim, that silicone confection Lara Trump has a T-shirt commercial running at the jump of your video here. Weird!
    2
  37. Mark, you are WAAAAAAY too generous in your description of Kellyann Conway's wattage. And Trump "doesn't like teams of rivals." Trump is INCOMPETENT. Your characterization of him sounds like admiration. There is nothing about him that is admirable.
    2
  38. I'M rooting for that!!!! This garbage truck stunt was a GENIUS way to get peoples' minds off of "There's a garbage pile in the ocean - it's called Puerto Rico!" Yeah, BRILLIANT!
    2
  39. So, his debate with Harris is to be Sept. 10th if he shows up, and his sentencing hearing is 8 days later. Why shouldn't Harris respond to every single word out of his mouth on the 10th with "Is that view pending the outcome of your criminal sentencing hearing in a week? Because in a week, you're to be sentenced for 34 seperate criminal felonies that you were convicted of." I really don't see much need for her to talk about anything ELSE in that debate. The convictions, the indictments, and the sentencing - OH! And the ocean of criminal obstruction of justice too, should be talked about in her every response in my opinion. That could go on too long, but I think he will go absolutely mad after she mentions it only a couple of times. "YOU'RE A CRIMINAL. A FCKNG CRIMINAL."

  40. Hopefully, millions of genuine patriots will conclude that this rash of pardons gives them license to effect actual justice against these trash and all their enablers, elected and unelected.

  41. ".....like Al Bundy with your hand in your pants....."!!!! YES!!! The perfect comparison!!!! Except Al had some vestigial wit. Trump has none. At least no more than half a wit.

  44. Mitt's had decades to do and say the right thing. Unfortunately, he seems unable to do anything more than squeeze a few drops or a few words of the right thing out every few years. I called his office least year and got a live staffer, and asked him to ask Mitt, "Why are you even still in office? If you're unable to condemn and attack this Fascist bastard in the mode and with the severity required, what the hell are you even doing there? You'll never be president. You're unlikely to be a senator much longer. You're due for retirement. So what are you doing? Why are you so quiet? Cat got your tongue? It's a betrayal. Make no mistake, it's a betrayal." And it HAS been a betrayal, little better than the more complet betrayals in the rest of his party.

  45. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but in that tweet at 0:46, is Robert J. O'Neill claiming that his ideal seraglio would be stocked with boys? 'Cause it sounds like it.

  46. That snockered "Mystery Politics Theater 3000" idea is a pretty good one, actually.

  47. That looks like a portrait of Trump based on a colossal sculpture of Trump by Colombian artist Fernando Botero.

  48. Who sits in front of a painted placard featuring one of his OWN sentences lovingly painted on it, crediting....himself??? Steve-O here suffers from a deficit of love from the sane and intelligent, and it shows.

  50. Y'know in those clips of burnt umber Trump in the garbageman's vest toward the end, he gets an expression on his face a couple of times that makes me think a bit younger "True Grit" Jeff Bridges could have done a knock it out of the park impression of him. Like right about 11:11.

  51. The Heritage Foundation and its sub group, Heritage Action, absolutely LEAPT to exploit Trump's "Big Lie" after the 2020 election by having intensive secret meetings with GOP- controlled state legislatures where it pushed "model legislation" at them calculated to suppress non-Fascist votes in those states, and urged legislators to lie to their voters by pressing the idea there was a "voter groundswell" of pressure for such legislation, when there wasn't. But they created the nexus between the Big Lie and that movement toward unneeded "voter security" laws even though no fraud had been found in the 2020 outcome, because no "Big Lie" can go unexploited by the Heritage Foundation and its corrupt, authoritarian and racist mandarins.

  52. "It's being debated now." Prof Jeffrey Rosen of Rutgers, a journalist, talks about "reverse verification", and the fact that these people who begin with a lie they want to sell, and then invent the other lies they need to sell the first lie. The key lie. The lie they want to make paramount. And so you get "It's being debated now." But it's only "being debated" because of the tear in reality they created with the first lie, and pressed "debate" by inventing all the other lies to "prove" their point. And that's exactly what we see them doing with their defense of this outrage. .

  57. The whole GOP carried Trump's hideously dangerous lie about a stolen election forward because they immediately understood that whatever the fate of Trump's election, THEY could use it in the states to inflame voters toward unneeded and un-American voter suppression laws in the states, where the rubber really meets the road on elections. So that's what they did, and they got those laws. They never looked back, and to this day they repeat those lies, because they'll surely want to tighten the screws further when the moment's ripe. And the fact that on Tuesday, Trump told Lex what's his name in a podcast that he DID lose the 2020 election "by a whisker" won't change anything, because by the end of the week, that admission will have been made a billion years ago, MAGA time, and so be of no meaning at all to them. They didn't even hear it anyway.

  58. I hope she scorns him and his endless self serving chaos completely. She can begin from a point that everyone in the galaxy knows he wouldn't be retreating and coming up with all this other fuckery unless it was entirely self serving in his estimation. And she can so so clearly. And that NO ONE OWES IT TO HIM to accomidate his self serving motives and strategems. He backed out of a scheduled debate. He agreed to the debate. In terms of scheduling it makes no difference whether it's Joe or Kamala on the stage with him, so again, this is all about what he perceives to be his advantage. It shouldn't be accommodated. She can say, "I'll say this one last time. I will be at the originally scheduled debate, ready to go. If Trump is too chicken to show up, I will use the occasion to make an address to the nation of my positions. The end." You see how he treated those women of the NABJ. He will treat her the same way, for the same reasons. It won't be a debate he intends, it will be his raging abuse of a Black woman. She shouldn't give him the opportunity. We know she can handle him, and she knows and he knows she can handle him. But the spectacle he intends should be denied him. WE HAVE HEARD ENOUGH FROM HIM. Symbolically, she can present it as isolating him in a padded cell, closing the door behind him, and locking it on behalf of the nation. I think that would sell. The majority of the nation is ready for it.

  60. Dinesh's tweet to you. You know it already - these Trump automatons are absolutely unfixable. In the moment when you think they'd be most open to reform, they double down. Y'know those stories of kids or spouses lost to cults, and how one day after years of silence, they're found, and reluctantly agree to meet in a Texas desert two lane highway diner to "check in" and have a coke and a bologna sandwich and chips, and chat for a bit? And then, without a tear, but with a distant "leper" hug and an "Uh huh", they walk out the door after 20 minutes to be never heard from or seen again by their loved ones? That's who these people are. They have "slipped the surly bonds" of reason. They are living ghosts, unknowable to the sane.

  61. I really like Sen. Bennett but I wish he didn't sound like a railing drunk every time he speaks. To his favor, he's not as unintelligible as Tom Hohman.

  62. Everyone knows the Trump station on a garbage truck is NOT in the cab, but instead manning the inside and keeping secure the many varieties of delicacies and wonders there! He could have researched new menu items for the Mar A Lago dining room while in there.

  63. Tim, can you point me / us in the direction of the email of Harris campaign comms director? Saw him on TV earlier, "Myers"? Somthing like that. A litigator for 40 years, I've got an angle - a good one.
    1
  64. Trump will seize upon the stupidest of non-issues if he thinks he can use it to rile up the mouthbrieathers, and that's what the base renaming thing is about, as you know. He is literally a rabble rouser. A malign infant.

  65. JD Vance "brackeing the Harris-Walz campagin by following her-them around is Trump looming over Hillary Clinton, following her around on the stage in in the 2016 "debates." Pathetic, weird and creepy. Oh, I get why he's doing it but STILL pathetic, weird and creepy.

  66. When I was a kid in elementary school, my parents got Time Magazine, and in my classroom, every week I got "My Weekly Reader." Back then, Time had substance. Today, it has less substance, and seemingly even fewer pages, than "My Weekly Reader" did back in those days. My mother (94) still gets it, but it's as light as a tissue, and I mean in ALL ways.
    1
  67. Aren't you convinced that Vance is "extreme" yet, Bill? What more proof do you need? And Tim - "tamping down"? Trump has brought us to full-on idiocracy now, and the GOP is its hive.

  68. Tim, you've got to be balancing inside your head, "Those abs vs those eyebrows. Those eyebrows vs. those abs." This is a classic cancellation conundrum.

  69. Sam, Trump taught his boys decades ago that a secret to weilding power was to make sure everyone you faced was shorter, or sitting lower than you. Being weaklings both of them, they took it too far and have baby stools as guests' chairs across the desk from them and their exalted height. And you can accomplish the same thing with a lower camera angle on yourself. Voila'.

  70. Florida went all in on getting RFK Jr on our November ballot in spite of our state laws, and when newspapers demanded an explanation, both the governor and the Sec State, a MAGA insurrectionist militant named Cord Byrd, simply went dark and in spite of state "sunshine laws", have refused to even respond to the inquiries. Because Florida. Marc Elias should get in on this - Do you guys know him? Can you put in a word?

  71. Tim, I wonder if you think it likely that all NATO countries know exactly where all Russian ICBM implacements, and mobile launchers too, are?

  72. Yes, but what will the incompetent, unethical, unintellectual, and precedent disrespectful manipulators on the SCOTUS majority say about those false electors. Coney Barrett has spoken up on that issue, but that's still a minority of the justices. NO ONE SHOULD TRUST ROBERTS, ALITO, GORSUCH, THOMAS and KAVANAUGH,. They're ALL financially corrupt, and at least two of them are insurrectionist-friendly and not at all discrete about it.

  78. I like the things I see and hear from Tim Waltz but I think the "Weird" thing could be supplanted with one of many far more powerful and descriptive single word dismissals than weird. Weird seems too mild, too Marquess of Queensberry. Shapiro seems very sharp and a real ripper and dissecter, which is what tens of millions of people want to see done with Trump, after all these years of rhetorical lethargy from Democratic Party leaders, and the media too God knows.

  80. Love this video. I can't stand Mike Johnson - he feeds hatred of the non-vanilla part of America, and took months and months too long to get aid to Ukraine, but it is what it is. MTG is looking more and more like a dismembered torso by the day, and that's GREAT.

HELL yeah. And a Democrat through and through. AND the South. Cajuns and their cohorts AND minority communities.

  83. That Lewandowsky "stabbing people" thing. Trump is an absolute infant. He attracts only absolute infants, and seeks only absolute infants to be in his circle and his service. Infants "get him." Infants believe he "sees them", and indeed he does. Only them. Lewandowsky's seduction methods are infantile, very naturally. That appeals to Trump, because his are too.

  84. What is the real worth of "having demonstrated one's foreign policy chops" to..........Trump? THIS right here is normalization in action. Malign normalization.
    1
  85. Tim, I think Trump WILL duck a debate with her, and more than that, as she continues to flay and torture him over the coming weeks, I think he'll be absolutely in the throes agonizing for an excuse to quit completely, with some phony excuse back story. I mean think of it. He feels no loyalty to the GOP as a party (such as it is anymore) and what it wants. He has nothing but scorn for it. He can't and never does hew to what his handlers and advisers tell him to do - like today, which was a supernova of infantile stupidity. And at the end of the day, if he can abandon the GOP and the nomination just to duck out for 15 minutes to take a dump and grab a donut, he'd do it. Kamala is torturing him, and I'm almost to the point of believing that he would stride into Rikers or the Georgia State Prison System or / and federal prison , screaming about the injustice all the way of course, just to avoid what's in store for him over the next five months - and another loss in November.

  86. That sign off - "Mom". Not "Love, Mom." She doesn't love him. That was purposeful. He disgusts her and obviously has for a long time, and she's said so. So - more candor. And what women COULD love males like these trash? I'm a parent, and I love my kids, but I'm a realist and there are lines that can't be crossed. And if they are, well - that's just it. You cannot let your kids abuse you, and you cannot license them to abuse others, and if you do, you're a failure as a parent.

  89. I vividly remember the night of the RNC when Trump trotted Pence out on the stage as his running mate. The camera panned to Pence's family, including his mother, in the audience. I clearly recall the look of pained, barely concealed horror on her face. And boy was she right. Her son had dived head first into the Trump cess pit. It's a wonder he escaped with his life.

  91. Kamala is VERY Alpha. And it works. It's authentic. But the thing is, with the right advisors, SO MANY Democrats and Republicans too could have been the Alpha with Trump, and if they'd just stuck with it, and dared, and had an atom of courage, they could have demolished him. But all these "leaders" failed so utterly. It's a tragedy. "And a Black woman prosecutor shall save us."

  98. The entire nation should be applauding Hegseth's mother for her parental candor. When you're a parent, you're a parent until you die, and yes folks, it can be a massive burdern. She has a right to speak out, and speak to her despicable son that way, and as a parent myself, I call it heroic. What, you're supposed to turn a blind eye to the things your adult children do that harm others? I salute her. And when your adult offspring is a menace to society like Hegseth is, I salute her again for calling him out, condemning him, and leaking this email (!!!) She shouldn't have to stew in silence about his present course, and his unfitness. She's doing a national service.

  100. Are we thinking about what happens to Trump's nationwide and likely global grifting operation if he loses this election by a substantial margin? It's likely dead, done, over, buried. I think that is terrifying him as much as any fear of federal prsison. If his grift suddenly dies, how does he pay his lawyers to keep fighting these rearguard actions? Wouldn't any sane lawyer jump ship when the losing count comes in election night at this point? I mean, he may try, but his succeeding with another Big Lie ongoing grift after a loss in November seems highly unlikely. I'll bet that's his most immediate nightmare now.

  101. Hegseth's mother is an American hero for sending him that email, as is the person who leaked it ("Mom").

  102. Tim, I read today Trump flew to Montana this weekend / last week on Epstein's jet after his 757 suffered an ear injury from a flying projectile. Epstein's jet!!

  103. Fellows, I keep hearing talk about how all these filthy louts being nominated are a misdirection play to get equally awful actors in play, and awful schemes too, and I don't discount that. But I think there's a vastly bigger issue that is completely off the radar, and that is where and who are the filthy hive is in which all this sedition and treason is being hatched? Because THEY are the incessant and inexhaustable plotters of this stuff. Trump's puppet masters. And my view is that it is in the limestone clad downtown edifices in Washington DC, in the Heritage gang, Heritage Action, and those other filthy dens and lairs where these people operate. What they are doing has nothing to do with improving our nation. They are all about coups and plots and obstruction, and voter suppression laws getting passed on the rising tide of the Big Lie, and subversion and killing our beautiful experiment. THAT is the hive that needs to be torn open and exposed. For example, who was that gang in the midwest that Jeffrey Clark fled to after Trump was ejected from office, and that HIRED HIM???!!! And that's just one example. THESE are the "malefactors of great wealth" bent on undoing our Republic, and they need to be dragged into the light. WHY do we just sit around and let this happen? Do we REALLY have an obligation to sit on our hands and lose our democracy through DEMOCRATIC MEANS corrupted by these traitors? Come on Guys, you can do it. You ALL can do it. You've just gotta do it.

  104. If you were Hegseth's mother, would you CARE about "torching that relationship"? I'd never want him to darken my door again! Who wants trash like that around?!

  105. Tim, I'm sure Kamala Harris heard what you heard about the "we" then "not we" bit you were talking about. I wonder if it hit her the same way it hit you - I think you're right about it, BTW. But do you think she could and should have made a point of it in responding thereafter?

  106. That point at 7:00 about "It's not like Pam Bondi is going to investigate it" is the ugly reality and backstop behind all the criminality this pathetic corrupt administration is up to. There is crime in every single corner of it.

  107. Tulsi Gabbard at 9:00 completely exposes herself as an INCOMPETENT with that answer. She might as well have screamed "I AM HIDING SOMETHING!!!!!"

  122. Is it becoming clear to Americans what we've got to do to still this hostile rebellion against our nation and its institutions? The investments of trillions of dollars by Americans over the histories of these institutions? Are we just going to sardonically tsk tsk about this? This is a rebellion, people. The evil have gained control of our country. No other noun fits. This isn't politics. This is anarchy and destruction. Don't dignify it with the name "politics." This is a coup by a sitting president, and his party is all in with it.

  123. The little dance thing he does in its few varieties very much looks like a Shirley Temple turn. Very daintily holding the hem of his frock while he dips first to the left, then to the right. Right outta "Baby Take A Bow!!!" Start at 0:57 https://youtu.be/cFJWmqMzvJU

  124. Because the GOP is a "Nightmare Alley" carnival sideshow now, of trash and for trash only. Only trash ascends within it because only trash belongs to it.

  126. Your discussion of the pros and cons of the veep picks reminded me of a scene in - sorry - "The Silence of the Lambs." I'm 66. In the scene where Clarice Starling and her FBI boss have flown to West Virginia to view the body of "Buffalo Bill's" suspected first victim, and they're walking up the sidewalk to the funeral home where her body is being kept for an inquest, she's following the boss, and he heads inside. She's walked up with a gantlet of WVHP and cops on either side, and all are eyeing her, and one says "I'd sure like a piece of that" or some such. And it's a hot day. And an old cop nearby says, "I dunno, I think I'd rather have a piece of cold watermelon right about now." That's how veep picks go too. At my age, with what I've seen, I'd rather have the slice of cold watermelon and be refreshed. Both in the No. 1 and No. 2 slots.

  131. Don't you think, wouldn't you expect that our intel agencies would have been listening in on Trump's and Putin's pillow talk? And if so, there has to be deeply alarming info in there, and why wouldn't this by the moment to publicize that information?

  132. It's so laughable, Rubio being "hard line anti-Castro and Venezuela" when he is the absolutely most avid fellator of the ridiculous boob who would BE Castro and Maduro in the USA -- Trump. Here in Florida, Rubio makes ME sick to my stomach. A completely pathetic excuse.
