Be prepared. Have ready stats to push back against his BS. No speechifying. Rapid questions, push for answers. Call out the lies with truth and facts.

Also use 3-4 snappy sentences instead of one long run on.

The weird applause at the end for Lindsey Graham, like "I guess we should cap now or something?"

I don’t have much faith in it, admittedly. It likely won’t drive a wedge in his base. I’m just saying it’s the only thing that might. The last straw to determine if they’re all completely lost.

yes it's hope, but if anything can take Trump down, it's his Epstein connection/proof he was a regular client. His base won't care about fascism, police states, a Gaza genocide, because they want all that. But wanting their guy to be this deep with Epstein? It may be too much even for them. I hope.

Happened when we saw it at Ohio U. Someone seized. Got stable. And someone yelled, “Rewind the movie, we missed some!”

Guy on the right: “ I don’t need no namby pamby helmets. My MAGA hat will protect me.” Also has the bulletproof vest industry figured out how to make a second size?

That’s right! I keyed in wrong. That classic card style… main action image with the round inset headshot. Tony Gwynn had a rookie card that year too if I remember. Boggs, Sandberg and Gwynn, the trinity.

I expressed that I’m not having a gin and tonic after work. I’m drinking one right now. After work. Guess expressions don’t mean shit.

The people who scream that "we're a REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY" are the same people who conflate Democratic Socialist to Communist without a hint of irony.

Didn’t the “criticism” get 50 votes? Vance was the tiebreaker.

Peter, when you got into journalism, did you think you'd be covering the petty squabbles of two ego-driven men on a regular basis, having such topics assigned to your beat because it's a "plum story" not for its content but because it gets more clicks? Appreciate your work!

Marty Smith gets access because he's free PR for athletes. And he likes to make himself the story too. The typical rising star at ESPN.

I don’t get it. ESPN needs shows like this where people aren’t just yelling at each other, but making great points with respect. Talking to you, Pat Maafee and Steven Smith.

So if a few air traffic controllers don't get to see all the planes this Christmas, they may only see 2 instead of 30, is that really so bad?

Gallows humor. I remember that Simpsons ep and the comparison nailed it. Trump and Musk are such wastes of space.
