Criminally Insane Terrorist Organization

Their whole presence looks like a fox news show nowadays.

And they're BAD actors in every sense of the word.

💙💛

Thanks for supporting us Ukraine ... please kindly follow me 🙏🇺🇦💙💛

Thanks for supporting us Ukraine 🇺🇦💙💛

And Steven Miller's wife left him for #Cuckville!! Poor lonely Steve. #Sad

Yea, but at least Reagan...

Yeah, I don’t get it…they’re all constantly calling for press conferences where all they do is complain about how the press does nothing but lie about their accomplishments.

Rare symmetry of comment and snark at thread start.

Why do we live the theatre so much. The press should stop showing up; take away the oxygen that fuels them.

Come on. We've known this since Sean and Sarah stood at the podium and lied daily.

They’re all just pining for their « You can’t handle the truth » moment

I feel like kabuki theater still has an element of art behind it. This administration's actors are more along the lines of Real Housewives. 🙄

Kabuki at least is visually appealing and entertaining !

Pro wrestling bombast act

And psychos

We know is all bs But how this clowns got there? Is the failed of the system of corruption Nepotism White entitlement White supremacy

That's all it is. The Theater of the Absurd

it’s all kayfabe

👏👏👏👏

Folks we have known this since January 21, 2016. The only difference now is that they are all clowns now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKzH...

They are not governing, they are producing a reality show. Nothing matters. Actions have no consequences. It's heavily edited. It's all bullshit that the next POTUS will have to clean up.

They are not very good actors. I mean, not Oscar winner acting. It's easy to see through their bullshit. Pete what's his names performance today was pathetic.

Ugh! Yes! All that anger was weird.

They will do the most entertaining thing.

I disagree. Kabuki theater has far more integrity

Many political actors perform disguising their "crackpot inner self". And their unsuspecting/uneducated audience witness their performance applauding the show. Never once realizing it will affect their future. Call the "performances" what they are. A way to manipulate the unsuspecting/uneducated.

None of them are real actors. They are nothing more than a bad, failed reality show host and his fake news minions. None of them can act and all of them lie constantly. Everything out of their mouths is a lie.

poorly staged skits, more like it-- all meant as drivel to distract (and it works, at least for a bit)-- they are the flash/bang of mainstream media

Theatre of the Absurd is, apparently, making a comeback.

Fox News trained actors

😡😡😡

Right?! Calling any of those absolute assholes an "actor" is an insult to the craft. They are con men or hideous shills. Not nearly the same thing as actor Meryl Streep or [insert a zillion excellent actors here].

We are in an attention economy. This theater makes for great content, that cable news, content creators & even podcasts can profit off of. I’m a huge fan of @thebulwark.com but does the business model work without DT? I would love for politics to be boring again but in this economy, extremes sells

Mix that with the Christ Christian fascism and project 2025 and we have the perfect apocalyptic stew. Happy Halloween!

If Pete is involved, it's wasted time you'll never be able to get back.

The press is failing.

Pretty fucking shitty theater at that. 🙄💩🤣

George, it should be "yes, *and* they are..." ☺️ They're crackpot actors.

America wants to continue using the old archaic corrupt norms that got us here vs accepting it’s time~ OUT with the old Both ppl & the corrupt ‘norms’ they all cling to Journalist—A term I now use loosely They’re pathetic parrots Substack is where to get FACTS GOP are ENEMIES OF THE STATE

Really bad actors, to be clear.

Absolutely. I dont watch them anymore. It's like watching a circus. Entertaining, but means nothing regarding reality.

Trump wears as much makeup as any kabuki performer.

Perhaps we should have a press conference critic for them. You know, instead of thumbs up/thumbs down it will be middle fingers up or middle finger down.

Great idea!

Speaking as an actor, please don't sully our profession. These are damaged, impaired creatures.

100%.

This is so true! Unfortunately it seems to work for them.

Imagine. Whiskey Pete gave up a porn acting career for Defense Secretary!

More performers than ACTORS. Especially DJ, who is the BIGGEST HUCKSTER, sleazy grifter and charlatan ever seen. An accurate representation of what America has degenerated INTO from the inheritance the Greatest Generation left us.

most of the reporters are actors, too.

They are the globetrotters and the press is the Washington Generals. HTH.

noun: kayfabe (in professional wrestling) the fact or convention of presenting staged performances as genuine or authentic.

Well, let’s face it, Americans have been addicted to the “ boob tube” since the 50’s. Now we are in “Bizarro World” and Actors and “talking heads” are calling the shots. “Stay Tuned”

Come on you know for a fact they're not just crackpots their Russian assets. So is your ex.

He said "also crackpots".

I'm sorry but I think you insult kobuki!!

Gomer Pyle is secretary of defense 🤦‍♀️

Absolutely George you are 💯% correct!!!!👍

Theatre historian, here. This gives Kabuki a bad name. Don't equate the two.

Yeah well, he didn’t say it was GOOD theater

Describing their pressers as kabuki is very apt. Stylized, rigidly defined set pieces meant to evoke very specific reactions from the intended audience.

This is 💯 accurate. They are cosplaying a federal government while trying to maximize ratings and media coverage. And the price? People’s lives, safety, freedoms and wellbeing. No ethics, no morals, just pure corruption, cruelty and chaos. The 3 Cs of this regime.

Hahahaha

They are the actors. Russ Vought and the P202'ers, the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society are the producers and directors

And dangerous. And patsies. And idiots.

And not often entertaining.

MAGA is just cosplay for losers. We all remember these assholes from high school.

Hegseth was doing his Sean Spicer impression. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu1G...

And criminals.

Even crackpots tell the truth once in awhile So let’s go with “liars” shall we

Actors my ass they're reality TV train wrecks. Though I wouldn't put it past hegseft or trump to draw on their inner Tootsie.

Don’t insult actors.

Don't forget the drunkards!

Oh I love these Little Golden Books!

Enjoy😘

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wow! Love this! !!!!! That’s my boy Teddy who just turned 13. I will cherish this! THANK YOU!!

Cheers! You have an adorable fur family🤍

Thank you very much! ❤️❤️❤️

Hey! What about Toot, the little tugboat!

At least they didn't claim that Kevin Sorbo is an actor...

substandard actors at that

Remember Sean Spicer in an ill-fitting suit yelling at us about inaugural day crowd sizes? We were so innocent back then.

I hollered.

I did too! I was so upset about the obvious lying. Now? It’s commonplace. Expected. No shock at all.

😂I remember him yelling it WAS the biggest crowd ever, like a crazy man. And we all could see a pathetically small crowd!😳

Bring back Melissa….. 😂

She did Spicer better than Spicer did Spicer.

it's an Idiocracy. Or maybe it's edging toward Hunger Games. I wish Musk could arrange for them all to go to Mars. Or hell.

Kabuki has morality tales. These ? Are vacous of all...

It's a scary but logical progress for the ruling class. Our society breaks down communities and isolates us. It starts with entertainment, the hero who saves the day, the little people who are hopeless. Then our daily life, the grind of work, the endless aspirations. It's all about creating apathy.

They are NOT ready for prime time.

Plus they all use the same predictable method of acting: state something crazy with authority, attack and name call, double down, repeat.

Simple but so true. Un commentaire qui va droit au but!

Unqualified to keep us safe.

Ok, so, what alternate approach would this online person suggest?

Bukkake theater

Not only are they bad actors, but also terrible thespians

And they are ripping families apart. 😨😤

Oh, Noe. (yes they are)

"Reality"TV.

Clown shows

If i wanted actors I'd go watch theatre. Politics is SRS BZNS.

Crazy-ass actors are still nuts

Charlatans.

Yes the media compliance and “bullshit/blowhard” stuff they try to portray as “legitimate, nothing to see here” news is pathetic and complicit.

The same could be said of the congressional hearings. They exist to provide sound-clips since nothing changes based on the information gathered from them. It's all just theater to stay in power and in office.

Hey! Kabuki is an ancient art form. This is 3rd grade school play stuff!

And legions of priests, pastors, and preachers are actors performing the absolute worst amateur community theater. Once you see that, you’ll never unsee it. Buy a ticket for your whole family, watch the melodrama twice on Sundays. Meet your friends and neighbors there, the reviews are heavenly!

And psychopaths.

And it's bad theater.

An actors guild made up of the worst people in existence.

Well, there's that....and none too bright, either

But that's the ONLY REASON any of them were hired in the first place! They're ALL out of Trump's deluded notion of central casting ideal types.

Boy - both descriptions are dead on. How sad

I love the actor/show perspective. Running the country is not reality TV with producers and makeup. It's life, death, future, and present based on history. Wake up MSM, you're being played. This isn't news!

You’ve hit the nail on the head!

I can actually make more sense from Kabuki than those press conferences and they also wear less make up in Kabuki.

Except they never STFU At least kabuki is silent

And it ends at some point. This regime is a never ending performance. Extremely exhausting

Galaxy Quest irl

Here we go again, with 45 and the “PERFECT FLIGHT.” Daily barrages against Media, calls Dems/anyone stupid, low-IQ! Hegseth calling out the media. I’m sick of the reality show President.🤢🤮. Sick of the cursing, sick of the theater, &then demands Nobel Prize. Who has the evil intentions?

How glad I am to live in a country where this kind of ridiculous and condescending theatrics would immediately send voters fleeing. Tell me, do Republican politicians have no respect at all for the average American? And do their voters have no respect for themselves?

Yes, they are actors, but mostly, they are liars repeating the cult leader message, who happen to be mentally unstable 🤬

Dangerous crackpots. But whatever they are, the news media is not doing its job.

Eventually they’ll all have to pay the debts they’ve incurred with their lies, performative patriotism, and skin deep religion. As with any debt sooner or later you end up paying what you owe. One way or another. I wonder how many of them will make themselves a lead salad rather than face the music

Ronald Reagan was, literally, an actor and it shaped his approach to the presidency. Yet for all his faults, he was not a crackpot.

No just corrupt as fuck.

At least he knew how to act the part.

Crackpots with enormous power.

You can say that again For the cheep seats in the back

That's insulting to Kabuki theater. However, I agree with the rest.

Any chance we could end this nightmare by just giving him a pyrite Grammy for The Apprentice, along with a golden parachute and a shovel and send him off to he who owns his long lost soul?

They're eating the dogs ... They're eating the cats ... , Iran's nuclear facilities are completely destroyed.

Just like a clown with a flame thrower…still has a flame thrower.

Professional crackpot is such a lucrative business

While I agree it is primarily theatre of the dammed liars…they also have enactment powers that make them terribly dangerous to others.

30 in the administration are former Fox personalities. If you can’t actually do the job, you need to be able to spin your screw ups.

It seems the press should find its sources of fact elsewhere and send in their own “big balls” interns to cover these news conferences.

The whole administration is like a reality tv show.

Yes, crackpots and actors. Facts and evidence are not on their side. So the only thing they have performative spectacles like these.

And Crooks!!!!!

I really wish ALL VALID NEWS organizations would BOYCOTT every press conference! Make the room empty so that only the worst alt right show up and the others just present FACTS that are gleaned from real reporting! The facts would almost ALWAYS be in opposition to what the right wing hacks “report”

The same news organizations that cover the Trump Administration (good or bad)are owned by organizations and individuals that dumped money into Trumps campaign to get the tax breaks/merger preferences and other conflict of interests.

Case in point, just today! ⬇️ www.wsj.com/business/med...

Or maybe ask no questions because they will be lied to or either insulted. Simply sit and take notes. I saw part of one press conference and the reporters were nodding at every lie Karoline was spewing! SMH

THIS! 👏 Or just sent ONE reporter from each news org, ONLY to document what is said, but NOT ASK ANY QUESTIONS! That way, we get the ‘story’, but no ridiculous questions that go unanswered, anyway.

Not even from every news org; just one person doing a pool report for all the non-insane outlets.

👏yes!👌

They aren't actors. They are TV personalities.

Yes, yes, yes.

Bad actors at that.

It's a Gong Show *a Canadian euphemism and American tv show*

Trump is nothing more than a game show host with lots of loyal backup dancers. The only one missing is Alex Jones. His resume is probably sitting on the Resolute

There is that.

The Trump 3 Ring Circus

Actors are preferred by the oligarchs to continue using classic Russian style propaganda on the people.

The press should get up, cameras off, and walk out, so they can't stroke Trump's HUGE Ego. That's all they did is bolster Trump. Sad and sick.

I totally agree. Why waste their time?

Well said. The media turning those pressers into clickbait turns them into a clown show 👎🏾🤡👎🏾

I don't watch, I just see videos online of hegseth getting pissed off and pointing out into the audience. I give the video an appropriate emoji and wonder who the fuck watches that like it is part of a normal, sane society?

When fat hitler reads this and giggles uncontrollably at the end, someone please point out there’s a difference between Kabuki and Bukkake…

This isn’t acting. It’s mental illness on display.

Seems like a lot of these folks’ actions are attributable to their beliefs and significant reinforcement in their environment

It sure is.

Why not both?

Ok, bad acting. We need a Razzie Award for politicians.

And horrible, incompetent actors to boot

And considering they are using X as their platform SHOULD be a tell…..

Farce!

They are LARPING a presidential administration. Badly.

I wholeheartedly agree. We should cease giving the vapid performance art any airtime or attention.

In the case of Trump 2.0 "kabuki theater," the admin's "crackpots" are just bad actors with inchoate political lines.

reality TV "actors"

And they are also doing serious damage.

That's how stupid the media is and why I have a hard time trusting them!!!

WWE America? Got it.

So I ask, "Who is the director and who is writing the script?"

A reality show completely fake. Given a real question, they have no answer and have to pretend.

Crackpots and kabuki theater—trump had the theater makeup down—actually ALL of them have the makeup down.

Get analogy.

Exactly

Don't insult Kabuki Theater...

Does he mean Don Bangina?

The Fox News Administration strikes again… Now with personal attacks on the one fact based correspondent at Fox News. Because Hegseth was still butthurt about her factual reporting on SignslGate

No, Fox has other people who report the news. Its a bit overblown to think that is just one person. For instance, Jacqui Heinrich does an excellent job reporting the news and doesn't play favorites.

Very bad actors. The D list.

lol Dan Bobingo

News stations should open everyone of these press briefings with the Warner Brothers cartoon theme song.

and narcissistic sociopaths.

And not even a good actor! I was going to say I'd seen school nativities with better actors, which while true, would probably get me hated on for talking about a Palestinian in a good light!

I feel like the whole country is being forced to watch some shitty reality show

They are all lying and trying so hard to convince us the are not lying.

And dangerous ones.

And, annnnnd, they’re wrong about everything.

So trump attacking a different country was an act is that what the poster is saying? The thing that killed and all the rights take away from innocent people are from actors?

Very BAD kabuki theater.

I prefer the term devils with microphones.

Forth rate actors in supporting roles, I'd say

WWE was the model... and stupid people love it

The first question that anyone appointed by Trump in a press conference should be " Are you drunk yet today " Mr/Madam Secretary?

Murder Grift Theater 8000

Yes Mr. Conway they are. I started a list on what "they" are, it is too vile to publish.

They need to stop attending and covering every PR stunt when this regime blows a whistle ... Didn't even take 6 months for this administration to jump the shark with their dog and pony show

Kabuki has an elegance none of these troglodytes have.

basically infomercials featuring a cast of misfits

Everything that comes out of the trump govt is theatre. Lying is like breathing to them all. Just all for show. None have any awareness or care of the world around them or the consequences on others; they wouldn't be hired if they knew or cared more than trump (which is "not at all") about anything.

would rather have a cabinet of Randy Savage Lanny Poffo The Iron Sheik Nikolai Volkoff Lou Albano Afa & Sika Adrian Adonis Bob Orton Jr Roddy Piper Don Muraco as Dr. Jones said i should of mailed it to the Marx Brothers

For an audience of one.

Kabuki theater does not injure or kill potentially thousands or even millions of people. That is the difference.

Actors, as is so is every “Reverend” on a pulpit. They are actors, who need to fill pews and gather donations.

Amoral crackpots doing the bidding of shadowy billionaires and their think tanks. It's 2003 all over again only the cast is a lot less serious and the president is a creep with a meme coin.

@supportdemocracy.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @progressdems.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @repbonamici.bsky.social

Why cover it then???

And also they are just dumb.

We should cancel the show and no further seasons. The pilot was a failure.

Media outlets must stop debating what ‘obliterate’ means and in what context Trump used it. He said “No other president had the courage to do what I did; now Iran no longer has nuclear capability.” Paraphrased. At issue: he likely ignored reliable intel the nukes were moved. He wanted the boom.

Trump/Hegseth are deflecting their bad leadership onto @natashabertrand.bsky.social, media outlets, and a supposed leaker, when the focus should be Trump/Hegseth need to answer to WTP and Congress if they sent our pilots/troops on a dangerous mission for ego and accolades.

…..crockpot who could (and might) jail or kill us all

Who control our government, all the power, weapons...

Kabuki Don... what a performance...

Exactly!! We need to stop giving their Bad acting so much attention..

jamesrozoff.medium.com/usas-brand-i...

I call it psychopaths theater. Everybody he brought into his administration. Is a damn psychopath a pathological liar he hired all the people just like him mentally ill.

Yes. You just have to look at Miller and Noem. Abnormal.

Disgusting traitor bunch. Carnival barkers
