26.10.2 Schmitt Happens MAGA style

26.10.2 Schmitt Happens MAGA style Being from Missouri, I have a vested interest in the two senators representing my state, as embarrassing as they are. Usually it’s Josh Hawley attempting a grandstanding moment to keep in MAGAs good graces. This time, junior senator Eric Schmitt made national news with one of the most cringeworthy appearances before Congress. Let’s set the stage. Donald Trump’s second term is on a revenge mission. The Schmitt-Smith exchange pretty much sums up how it’s going. The public is not amused, although comedians have struck gold justifiably ridiculing Schmitt. Missouri senator Eric Schmitt embarrassed himself and  the MAGAsphere with his stupidity. He tried to get Jack Smith, special prosecutor on Trump’s collusion over trying to undo the 2020 election by saying it was rigged. Schmitt was warned that the texts he used to accuse former Jack Smith of perjury were unvetted. Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee cautioned Schmitt ahead of Smith's testi...

2026/08/27 How One False Premise Can Snowball Out of Control; Lindsay Clancy Case and Infanticide Accusations

  This is a prime example of how MAGA’s deliberate ignorance overrides common sense and critical thinking. The following exchange started from this blurb on Newsbreak.com . There is an article at the end explaining the case of Lindsay Clancy as relates to her killing her three children while suffering from postpartum psychosis. “They Don’t Want to Be Moms Anymore”: Controversial Streamer Says “Women Are Trying to Legalize Murder Up to 36 Months After Pregnancy” By Sunil Krishnan Streamer Tectone's controversial remarks on abortion © Rumble/@Tectone Streamer Tectone recently claimed women want to “legalize murder up to 36 months” after pregnancy, saying they no longer want to be mothers. Read that again. He says women want to legalize murder up to 36 months after pregnancy. Think about it. How many people think it’s alright to murder a 3 year old? Will MAGAts use critical thinking to research what should ring sensationalizing bells? Nope. The exchange started with me posting. Me: Wh...

2026/08/21-24; Happy place | DC250 | MAGA Quacking | Trump wants to violate the Constitution | Suicide rates during Biden and Trump terms | Teacher and statutory rape I thought I’d try a different approach to blogging because I’m too inconsistent with writing it. Ever since 1985 I have kept a journal. Why not put the daily journal as the blog? Let’s see how it works. First off, I am a member of the 2nd marriage club along with my wife, KL. This marriage is way better because KL does not use guilt to trap me into not being able to do things I enjoy. I’m basically a person who likes solitude. That’s why I run and ride my recumbent bike alone. It’s comforting and gives me time to think at my own pace. It drives me crazy to be at the mercy of other people who can’t handle silence and therefore fill it with inane babbling that has no depth or interest. I’d rather sit in a quiet place and read than be stuck with a group that only does mush brained superficial talking with no reflecting, crea...

260622 Trump Claims Italy's PM Meloni Begged For a Photo By MELampe During an interview with Italian outlet La7 at the G7 summit in France, Donald Trump claimed that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni “begged” him for a photo. According to Trump, she desperately wanted proof that she’d stood near his greatness, and he, in his immense generosity, obliged out of pity. Does this look like a person anyone would beg to have a photograph taken with? U.S. President Donald Trump stands among other leaders as they gather for a family photo during the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, June 16, 2026. REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein   Prime Minister Meloni’s response is what happens when a classy, seasoned politician’s patience has had enough, grabs its suitcase, and heads for the airport. In a statement, she calls Trump’s story “completely made up” and says she is “frankly astonished” at his behavior toward allies. In other words, he calls Trump a liar. Keep in mind, she was the only woman he...

  260620 Trump Making a Peace Treaty at the Most Tone Deaf Location in the World, Versailles MELampe Versailles, where history goes to facepalm Trump’s latest drama opens at the Palace of Versailles, a place forever associated with the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. That’s the document that was supposed to end the War to End All Wars, The Great War. Instead, it humiliated Germany, destabilizing it so bad that it paved the way for Adolf Hitler. A 20 year lull was bought with the revenge treaty while the nations rearmed to start World War II.  For Defence Only": British political cartoon depicting a German soldier turning "Reparations" into "Preparations" from the Treaty of Versailles. Punch magazine, September 14, 1932. It’s against the historical backdrop of betrayal and unfulfilled promises that Versailles has become associated with that 80 year old Donald Trump stumbled in.
