Apart from everything, Jack Smith is an elite triathlete and Ironman champion with laser-like focus and determination. They have no idea who they’re dealing with.
She knows sports too, her father was a sports journalist. I hope she wins the Minnesota governor's race. She's great as a senator but will have more clout as Governor.
That there is priceless! It's not enough to be a fool in front of your constituents, they have to take it up a notch and be a fool in front of the world!
Katie britt kept trying to drag christianity into this law and order discussion. I'm thinking what, the hell does christianity Have to do with law and order. ...The answer to that is absolutely nothing Katie.
Are we at all surprised that Katie Britt and all the repubs know nothing about the rule of law. Should we remind them all That the Constitution is not a Suggestion!
The Christian Nationalists, aka White Male Supremacist Traitors, like to claim that the law in the US is based on the Bible. In actual fact, the law in the US is based on English common law, which is based on Germanic common law, which was developed eons before the stories in the Bible were written down.
Hardly. The Israelites were writing down what became the Old Testament and whatnot throughout the last millennium BCE, at which juncture I'm pretty sure the tribal confederations of the Angles and Saxons didn't even exist yet - less still their particular variations of the typical Germanic tribal laws. (Those varied a whole lot in detail even *within* tribal groups; look up the background of the old Salian Frankish law the French dug up in the early 1300s as part of the royal succession dispute that kicked off the Hundred Years' War for ex.) Those guys didn't even migrate to Britain until, what, 400s to 500s CE or something? The Bible as we know it was already kind of an old hat by that point.
Unfortunately when the MTN opened up a "free" paywall, we're going to get more of this shit and MAGAt trolls. I'm staying away from the MTN Substack until they put back the paywall. I won't be engaging any longer even though I'm an annual paid subscriber. It's not fair to us paid subscribers.
I understand your view and I understand theirs as well. I kind of applaud them because the more people that see good journalism, like this versus whatever hell the hell else they're looking at? Maybe one sentence or one paragraph might pull one or two over out of the thousands, but.
Perfect example of how Schmitt could have benefited from DEI: if there were any women at all among his staffers, they might have mentioned that women's sports actually do exist and he wouldn't have ended up looking like a sexist moron. Also note that his FIRST reaction was to YELL AT A WOMAN for pointing out his stupid mistake. Rapist/domestic abuser mentality.
It’s hard to choose the best comedy gold today. Schmitt is definitely a contender, but so are Noem’s Oval Office ambitions. Who would be the VP? Boebert? Asking for a friend.
Schmitt and his staffers did some really shoddy research in their haste to discredit an honest man. It was ever so gratifying to see them humiliate themselves.
👍👏👏👏 just watched MSNOW and Lawrence showed multiple clips of the trial. These MAGGOT GOP Senators are dumber than dirt, what an absolute disgrace and these are the Fuckwits running our government….what an embarrassment!
And shame on Chuckie Cheese Grassley for not sanctioning Schmitt for calling a witness a "dirtbag" and accusing him of perjury based on false evidence. Shame, shame, shame. Go retire your old, withered, corrupt body and stop embarrassing yourself.
I'm in my late 60's and starting to wind down and release things. If the electorate votes for a 93 year old foggy, then they deserve what the get. The addiction to money and power is strong in these, otherwise they would gracefully exit sua sponte...
I read that Grassley has a grandson in state politics and that Grassley wants to hang on so that grandson can run for the Senate. You know, the old nepo game
He is worried about the governor's race because if he dies in office his replacement could possibly be appointed by a Democratic governor (based on the current polls). Wouldn't that be great!
How true! And it goes double here. The bigger assumption was that if Jack Smith was in Atlanta it was to meet Fani Willis for some nefarious purposes….
There was an old Odd Couple episode where Felix wrote ASSUME on a blackboard and then circled ASS U and ME while saying that. It was a scream. Found a clip of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feq5d_IQBOM
Random thought: Since Jack Smith has experience as an attorney serving as “Investigative Coordinator” at the International Criminal Court we would appreciate his return to the ICC and and the issuance of warrants for arrests of trump and hegseth for crimes against humanity. That is our “fantasy” dream.
The Other US Senator Josh Hawley, "I think that is how we spell his name" was seen Running for his life away from the MAGA Gang inside the US Capital building. On 01/06/2021, and now Hawley won't say Trump lost the 2020 Election to Joe Biden.
He’s the misogynist place kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs. If you google photo of Hawley and Butker together you’ll see what I mean. I think Ron might have posted a photo of them in this bulletin.
He gave a very 1950's commencement speech at a Catholic women's college 2 years ago. Caused national outrage. He's a douchebag, but unfortunately a very good kicker for the KC Chiefs.
OMG, Ron, what a terrific recap of the Schmitt/Smith exchange in today's hearing. I watched it on the PBS YouTube channel to avoid ads, but did not see the still photos you so brilliantly posted, especially of Britt and Smith. Hilarious!!! Worth a thousand words.
As I watched it I thought Schmitt knew damn well his "evidence" proved nothing because 1) he didn't give either Smith or the Dems copies of what he claimed proved Smith committed perjury and called him a "dirtbag," and 2) He put it up so briefly neither Witness Smith nor the Dems had time to read it.
Even when confronted with the phony "evidence," Smith never appeared rattled—because he always tells the truth, something MAGA clowns like Schmitt never do.
Sad to say, what the MAGA faithful and/or the R paid shills will be repeating as truth is the accusation - they will never see or hear of the takedown.
My husband had a maga site on his laptop and they were crowing that Jack Smith had perjured himself—but only played the first half of the clip—-And the MAGAs will hear only that and will believe it.
I don’t think I have ever seen Jack Smith smile like that!!! I was watching the hearing today and that was epic!!! Thank you Amy Klobuchar for quickly figuring that out and pointing it out to end the Schitt show!!! 😂. Mikey Johnson saying that what they have been doing already for the past two years is what they will do in the next two years … is completely laughable and maybe that will make those poll results start looking even bluer and brighter!!! 😂 Thank you, Ron, for another stellar bulletin!!!
… That [Sarah Huckabee Sanders] response received over 9,000 replies on X - almost exclusively from Trump supporters claiming that it was mostly black people who are on SNAP benefits so a black actor should have been used. However, data shows that 70% of SNAP benefits in AR go to white people.
Those are the same people who think ACA and "Obamacare" are two different things. Not surprising they think it's only non-whites using SNAP. Just wait til these morons lose their food stamps, maybe then they'll get a clue.
My stupid maga BIL thought it was 2 programs . I gleefully explained that his VA plan WAS Obamacare aka ACA. The look on that mouth breather's face was epic.
It is GD crazy that in 2026 some are still playing the race card. Racial bigotry is a disease like syphilis that keeps on giving, and society just can't knock down the disease.
Would be better if she pointed out how she bought a $17,000 podium for herself with state taxpayer money. Neither will ever happen; she's a grifter just like all MAGAs.
Apart from everything, Jack Smith is an elite triathlete and Ironman champion with laser-like focus and determination. They have no idea who they’re dealing with.
I never saw a photo of Jack Smith smiling before today.
Yeah, usually Smith is giving his 100-yard stare. 😃 That smile he gave today should be on billboards! T-shirts! Buttons! Posters! 🤣
It's a classic.
How's this for a T-shirt for Sen. Eric Schmitt -
"Hoist with my own petard"!!!!
My own schadenfreude was euphoric at Schmitt's epic blunder!!!
Great smile. When Jack smiles, we all smile.
I have, but not like that :oD !!!
You know, you are right, me too.
I have never seen him smile before.
I want THEM in the dock under investigation for corruption.
And I want them in prison, or worse.
I want them indicted, convicted and sent to CECOT in El Salvador
That's exactly what they deserve!
And that includes the sadists in SCOTUS who just approved Trump's sending the deportees to countries with which they have no connection.
That is human trafficking. You cannot call it "deportation", which has a specific meaning.
I read Trump is selling some of these people to outer countries. That must be slavery!
Has anyone ever figures out why they send them to countries they have no connection too. Just plain cruelty??
🎯🎯🎯🎯
Or any of the many places they are sending the people from the Detention Centers (AKA Concentration Camps)...
I could see that happen with grim satisfaction, and it wouldn't bother my conscience one bit.
If Democrats win, He will be.
I second that!
Yes! And Amy Klobachar is a quick-witted Gem!
She knows sports too, her father was a sports journalist. I hope she wins the Minnesota governor's race. She's great as a senator but will have more clout as Governor.
I was sad that Biden didn't choose her to be VP.
I'm sad we won't see her in the Senate anymore. But she'll make a great governor.
Ugh, no. Klobuchar is a reliable war crimes supporter.
https://zeteo.com/p/14-senators-posed-with-netanyahu
It would have done her no good.
Klob ate a salad from a comb she found in her purse! Kinda counts her out...
Jack Smith is a true American hero.
Top Down!!!!
Yea..he is way out of their league.
Wouldn't surprise me to find he's into some sort of Zen meditation as well. Seems to be using the "I am stone" technique.
He is a Zen Master for sure. Wonderful observation. You saw it!!!
Comedy Gold today with Eric Schmitt 🤭 He was way off the mark from NBA and women's college basketball 😂 Katie Britt's jaw dropping look, epic! 👀
Eric Schmitt's blunder made the BBC World News today.
That there is priceless! It's not enough to be a fool in front of your constituents, they have to take it up a notch and be a fool in front of the world!
Still a long way to go to match Donnie, but it's right up there.
Brilliant! 😂
Katie britt kept trying to drag christianity into this law and order discussion. I'm thinking what, the hell does christianity Have to do with law and order. ...The answer to that is absolutely nothing Katie.
I also noticed on her opening statement before diving in with questions, she brought up trans in sports. Again, nothing to do with the rule of law. 🙄
And the look on her face when she realized they had been had! You know she had to be thinking...oh schm*tt!!
Schmitt schmitted himself. Priceless.
That look on her face will be a meme forever…🤣🤣🤣
Are we at all surprised that Katie Britt and all the repubs know nothing about the rule of law. Should we remind them all That the Constitution is not a Suggestion!
Not surprised at all. Fucking bootlickers. 😒
Because there is nothing that says Christianity than bullying and spewing hate towards a marginalized group of people.
Meanwhile, they confuse a men's NBA team with a women's college team.
Wasn't it Jesus who said give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's? Kind of law and orderish.
The Christian Nationalists, aka White Male Supremacist Traitors, like to claim that the law in the US is based on the Bible.

Keep getting dumb spam texts saying religion should be taught in schools, I feel like responding what religion would that be😂🙄
Unfortunately when the MTN opened up a "free" paywall, we're going to get more of this shit and MAGAt trolls. I'm staying away from the MTN Substack until they put back the paywall. I won't be engaging any longer even though I'm an annual paid subscriber. It's not fair to us paid subscribers.

We will say it's only three weeks.
Just block it, they are looking for responses. Don't give em any
You know me . Colo ski that is impossible. ✌️
Schmitt is a pile of something that rhymes with his name.
Hmmmm could that be shit? 🤔😜
Could be....
His side hustle is protecting pedophiles.....under orders from Little Mike Grindr Johnson
Britt's face is frozen in time. Didn't she have the same expression when delivering the SOTU rebuttal from her kitchen?
Oh yes, that was her! 😆 I believe she did. I'm waiting for an SNL skit.
https://youtu.be/bDXX3tvPiEE?is=YXv024MgwEHgR-KG
Yes, that was funny. I meant an SNL skit of today's shit show 😉
And this woman is in congresd?????
Perfect example of how Schmitt could have benefited from DEI: if there were any women at all among his staffers, they might have mentioned that women's sports actually do exist and he wouldn't have ended up looking like a sexist moron. Also note that his FIRST reaction was to YELL AT A WOMAN for pointing out his stupid mistake. Rapist/domestic abuser mentality.
Let's face it; even with women in his staff, he'd still be a a exist moron.
It’s hard to choose the best comedy gold today. Schmitt is definitely a contender, but so are Noem’s Oval Office ambitions. Who would be the VP? Boebert? Asking for a friend.
Eric Schmitt looking like an idiot made my day! He was attorney general in Missouri for 4 years.
I loved the red face!🤣
Another McTaco lap dog.........his balls are in the top drawer of the oval office
Eric Schmitt will be haunted by this screw up for years. See: Bill Buckner. ( Ask a Red Sox fan if you don’t know that name.)
Schmitt and his staffers did some really shoddy research in their haste to discredit an honest man. It was ever so gratifying to see them humiliate themselves.
👍👏👏👏 just watched MSNOW and Lawrence showed multiple clips of the trial. These MAGGOT GOP Senators are dumber than dirt, what an absolute disgrace and these are the Fuckwits running our government….what an embarrassment!
Not just embarrassing, but also dangerous.
Jack Smith is a hero.
Meidas Capitol Hill reporter Scott Macfarlane: “The irony of confusing men and women’s sports.”
That’s what happens when MAGATs stop focusing on the pronouns.
And shame on Chuckie Cheese Grassley for not sanctioning Schmitt for calling a witness a "dirtbag" and accusing him of perjury based on false evidence. Shame, shame, shame. Go retire your old, withered, corrupt body and stop embarrassing yourself.
Imagine being 93 years old and still licking Trump's boots. Where's your DIGNITY, man?
Grassley climbed out of his coffin? Wow
lol.
I've seen better looking pieces of beef jerky than old as dirt Chuck Grassley's face.
Assley's behavior makes me wonder if he's planning to run again in 2028 and wants Rump's endorsement.
I'm in my late 60's and starting to wind down and release things. If the electorate votes for a 93 year old foggy, then they deserve what the get. The addiction to money and power is strong in these, otherwise they would gracefully exit sua sponte...
I read that Grassley has a grandson in state politics and that Grassley wants to hang on so that grandson can run for the Senate. You know, the old nepo game
Barf.
Horrors!!! But you’re probably right. They never learn.
He's already said that he's running in 2028 and that he plans to die in office.
I guess he wants to break Strom Thurmond's record for oldest Senator.
OMG. What a selfish ass. Oh well, if he dies in office, that's one less MAGA vote in the Senate until he's replaced.
He is worried about the governor's race because if he dies in office his replacement could possibly be appointed by a Democratic governor (based on the current polls). Wouldn't that be great!
The "Honorable" Senator Eric Schitt (sic) apparently has never heard the old saying that "ASSUMING makes an ASS of U and me."
How true! And it goes double here. The bigger assumption was that if Jack Smith was in Atlanta it was to meet Fani Willis for some nefarious purposes….
He was rowing up Schitt's Creek today. 🤣
With only one oar in the water (I basically just posted the same thing in response to someone else).
Great reference!
There was an old Odd Couple episode where Felix wrote ASSUME on a blackboard and then circled ASS U and ME while saying that. It was a scream. Found a clip of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feq5d_IQBOM
Thanks for sharing! That was a great clip!
My pleasure. I am old enough to have watched that episode when it first aired. 🤣
He’s up Schitt’s Creek all right
Must be a graduate from the Peter Teil Gay Boy Boot Camp
ALL right-wing patriotism is performative.
The only place I have ever seen many many many US flags flown is at a car dealership.
And maybe an amusement park?
Random thought: Since Jack Smith has experience as an attorney serving as “Investigative Coordinator” at the International Criminal Court we would appreciate his return to the ICC and and the issuance of warrants for arrests of trump and hegseth for crimes against humanity. That is our “fantasy” dream.
Only until 2029 when he becomes the next Attorney General. If trump's still alive by then, the apoplexy might kill him. 😁
Yes!
What a S*h*it* show!!
Love that!
New meaning to "up S*h*it* creek."
The Other US Senator Josh Hawley, "I think that is how we spell his name" was seen Running for his life away from the MAGA Gang inside the US Capital building. On 01/06/2021, and now Hawley won't say Trump lost the 2020 Election to Joe Biden.
He also won’t say what he’s doing with Harrison Butker when they get behind closed doors….
Who's Harrison Butker?
He’s the misogynist place kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs. If you google photo of Hawley and Butker together you’ll see what I mean. I think Ron might have posted a photo of them in this bulletin.
Thx. Now I get it. (Not a pro sports fan)
Thanks Paul.
A right wing evangelical woman controlling Piece
He gave a very 1950's commencement speech at a Catholic women's college 2 years ago. Caused national outrage. He's a douchebag, but unfortunately a very good kicker for the KC Chiefs.
Paul, who is Harrison Butler ?
Butker. Right wing woman hating field goal kicker for the KC Chiefs.
I wonder what his mother thinks...
OMG, Ron, what a terrific recap of the Schmitt/Smith exchange in today's hearing. I watched it on the PBS YouTube channel to avoid ads, but did not see the still photos you so brilliantly posted, especially of Britt and Smith. Hilarious!!! Worth a thousand words.

Even when confronted with the phony "evidence," Smith never appeared rattled—because he always tells the truth, something MAGA clowns like Schmitt never do.
Jurors hate lawyers who treat witnesses like Schmitt did. Hopefully the same will apply for voters who are the ultimate jurors.
Unbelievably rude and disrespectful. Our government is a total embarrassment. Brill's face was priceless.
Sad to say, what the MAGA faithful and/or the R paid shills will be repeating as truth is the accusation - they will never see or hear of the takedown.
My husband had a maga site on his laptop and they were crowing that Jack Smith had perjured himself—but only played the first half of the clip—-And the MAGAs will hear only that and will believe it.
That's why Schmitt pulled his disgusting stunt. I despise him.
Which MAGA site? Faux News or some podcast "influencer"?
Some maga influencer
Katie Millers Podcast????..........
And that's exactly why Schmitt did it, of course.
Too true!!!
I don’t think I have ever seen Jack Smith smile like that!!! I was watching the hearing today and that was epic!!! Thank you Amy Klobuchar for quickly figuring that out and pointing it out to end the Schitt show!!! 😂.

💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️
Nothing p*sses off MAGA misogynists more than an articulate Democratic woman.
Even more so when the woman is black…
That is why I so liked Jasmine Crockett in Congress...
Too bad the coward ran away before Amy Klobuchar was finished with him.
Thanks Ron. Great update on the truth. Succinct and to the point.
YES Donald J. Trump lost the 2020 Election to JOE BIDEN. For President.
… That [Sarah Huckabee Sanders] response received over 9,000 replies on X - almost exclusively from Trump supporters claiming that it was mostly black people who are on SNAP benefits so a black actor should have been used. However, data shows that 70% of SNAP benefits in AR go to white people.
Sickening. Thanks for pointing out the truth.
Those are the same people who think ACA and "Obamacare" are two different things. Not surprising they think it's only non-whites using SNAP. Just wait til these morons lose their food stamps, maybe then they'll get a clue.
My stupid maga BIL thought it was 2 programs . I gleefully explained that his VA plan WAS Obamacare aka ACA. The look on that mouth breather's face was epic.
Cheers! The ignorance is terrifying and MAGA lives on it. Do you know if learning the truth about the ACA changed his politics at all?
Remember when Obama said he didn't object to people calling it Obamacare because "I care"?
It is GD crazy that in 2026 some are still playing the race card. Racial bigotry is a disease like syphilis that keeps on giving, and society just can't knock down the disease.
Xenophobia is a very sticky sickness, especially for those surrounded and siloed by ignorant people, bots, and toxic algorithms.
Would have been great, though unlikely, had she pointed it out 🤣
Would be better if she pointed out how she bought a $17,000 podium for herself with state taxpayer money. Neither will ever happen; she's a grifter just like all MAGAs.
Oh this was so disgusting, so racist…….
