"#Iran has been at war with the United States for 47 years."

Energy Sec Chris Wright justifies the attack on #Iran as an "imminent threat" on #MeetTheRepublicans.

#DisasterPresidency #TooStupidForPolitics

#MeetTheRepublicans waited until THE FINAL FIVE MINUTES to talk about THE LARGEST POLITICAL PROTEST IN AMERICAN HISTORY. 🤨 #MtP

RE: https://mastodon.social/@MugsysRapSheet/116306846268129662

Sen Lankford is on #MeetTheRepublicans right now talking about sending "Boots on the Ground" to re-open the #StraitOfHormuz.

"If this becomes a protracted war, then yes [I support troops on the ground] to save American lives."

Welker notes at the start of #MeetTheRepublicans:

"TENS OF THOUSANDS take to the streets to protest President T****."

Tens of thousands? Try MILLIONS, Kristen. 🤬

Welker on #MeetTheRepublicans tells #Cuba's Foreign Minister that #OrangeHitler says #Cuba's economy is "on the verge of collapsing on it's own."

He points out it's hardly occurring "on it's own" when America is blocking energy & trade from entering Cuba.

"If we're collapsing on our own, why is it necessary to impose sanctions upon our country?"

Good question.

#Newsom had a good interview on #MeetTheRepublicans.

First half, he did an excellent job of defending #Prop50, noting how the #GOP "knows they are losing or else they wouldn't be working so hard to rig the game".

The 2nd half of the interview (after the commercial break) was mostly Welker trying to get Newsom to admit he made "a mistake" by continuing to stand by #Biden and suggesting there was a rift between him and #Harris based on a comment in her book.

Full interview on the #MtP website.

Since when has it become the obligation of Democrats to save Republicans from themselves? 🤬

#Welker on #MeetTheRepublicans yesterday asked Cory Booker if he's okay with #DEMOCRATS "shutting down the gov't" if there isn't a budget deal by the end of the month.

Booker had to point out the obvious:

"#Republicans control the WH & the Congress. If there's a #shutdown, it's on THEM."

They did this during the #Dubya Administration as well. "If Republicans #Shutdown the gov't, blame #Democrats." 🤦‍♂️

They did this during #DisasterDon's first term as well:

#Welker on #MeetTheRepublicans asks Cory Booker if he's okay with #DEMOCRATS "shutting down the gov't" if there isn't a budget deal by the end of the month.

Booker has to point out the obvious:

"#Republicans control the WH & the Congress. If there's a #shutdown, it's on THEM."

Since when has it become the obligation of Democrats to save Republicans from themselves? 🤬

#ICE ran a recruitment ad during #FoxnewsSunday and #MeetTheRepublicans defending/bragging about the job they are doing, which included this claim:

They "are going after The Worst of The Worst".

No they're not. They're going after the low-hanging fruit of #migrant workers, day-workers, and people trying to be good citizens by filing their taxes and showing up to their #immigration hearings... in order to drive up their numbers.

I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!

I had to switch off #MeetTheRepublicans as host #KristenWelker let #PuppyKillerNoem simply spew lie after lie after lie without any push back.

#Noem claimed #ICE is only going after "the worst of the worst" (while they are arresting Cleaning Ladies, Farm Workers and people showing up for their #Immigration Hearings), and lying about the conditions at #AlligatorAuschwitz (tents in #Florida in mid-hurricane season.)

TV OFF (I'll resume with #ThisWeek in an hour.)

It appears I won't be Live Blogging #MtP today.

On a #4thOfJuly weekend that saw a lawless president sign the most massive sweeping destructive bill in U.S. history that will throw MILLIONS off their healthcare, #MeetTheRepublicans decided to dedicate their entire show today to "personal interest" stories (starting with an actress enduring her OWN health care nightmare.) 🤦‍♂️ #ToneDeaf #TooStupidForPolitics

JV Vance on #MeetTheRepublicans this morning said: "The difference between this Administration and Administrations over the past 25 years (which would include T****'s own first term, Dumbass) is that we had very dumb presidents, and now we have a president who knows how to actually accomplish America's security objectives." #SundayShowdown

I remind everyone that during that "25 years" ONLY #Obama & #Biden ended the wars started by #Dubya. T**** just STARTED a NEW war. #MissionAccomplishedPart2

#OneBigBeautifulBill? For who???

Billionaires get a massive $2.2T tax cut.
The Pentagon gets more money.
More money to close the border.

THE ONLY CUT? More than 3/4 of a TRILLION from #medicaid! 😵

#SpeakerWheresWaldo told #KristenWelker on #MeetTheRepublicans that all those cuts are "waste, fraud & abuse".

Proof? He has none. 🤬
#DisasterPresidency #CriminalPresidency

While #Fox (and now #MeetTheRepublicans) are spending a significant portion of their shows today hyping an audio recording of #Biden in 2023 where he's "confused" over whether 2017 was the year #DementiaDon was "elected" vs "took office", I want everyone to go back and watch the FOUR MINUTE VIDEO I posted last October (before the election) of a rambling & profane Donald T****.

Is #Dementia fine as long as it's out in the open? #FnS #MtP #GOPHypocrisy #IOKIYAR
https://mastodon.social/@MugsysRapSheet/113341107940446238

#MeetTheRepublicans is nothing but #Welker's (disastrous) interview of #TheOrangeMenace where she let him lie repeatedly with minimal push back, and actually say #insane things like "military force to take #Canada is a possibility" & "all the good parts are from the #TrumpEconomy & all the bad parts are [from] the #BidenEconomy", while he accuses the Media of "hiding #Biden's mental decline for years."

The man is #MentallyIll and they treat him like he's rational. #EveryAccusationIsAConfession

#SundayShowdown

#Welker might be a RW stooge who tends to let #Republicans off the hook FAR too easily, but on those rare moments we ACTUALLY get some push-back, I'm not above offering kudos.

Sec of State "Lit'l #Marco" went on #MeetTheRepublicans to defend #PutinsPoodle's handling of the #Ukraine War negotiations and whether #DJChump will now (re)impose #sanctions on #Russia.

#Rubio defended #TheOrangeMenace (natch), but Welker threw Marco's own words from 2022 in his face re: #Putin:

Once again, it's time for my weekly #SundayShowdown (live blogging the top 4 commercial broadcast news shows: MSNBC, #FoxnewsSunday, #MeetTheRepublicans, and ABC's #ThisWeek.

My special task this morning: Be on the lookout for as many examples of #CreepingFascism as I can find. 😐

I returned to #MeetTheRepublicans to catch #Bernie.

Welker asked him if #Zelesky was disrespectful of T**** (not her exact words) and he said, Absolutely Not, pointing out how "we've always stood of the side of the victim & fought the aggressor.

Welker quickly dropped the subject.

Then asked if he's sign a #budget that includes #Musk's cuts just to avoid a #Shutdown. Again, #Bernie says, No, and again Welker drops the subject.

#SundayShowdown

Another episode of #MeetTheRepublicans? 😡

I'll return when Sen. #Sanders is on (the closest they get to having on a #Democrat today.) 🤦‍♂️

@indivisibleteam
On #MeetTheRepublicans this morning, host #KristenWelker asked Sen #Booker if he/#Democrats would "vote for a #shutdown" (as if it is OUR job to save #Republicans from themselves.)

#Booker tried to stress how he is "only one of 46 other Democrats in the Senate", but Welker continued to push him until he conceded that Dems would not allow #Republicans to #shutdown the gov't (again.)

Funny how she never pushed her first guest, Sen #MarQuain Mullen, if HE would shutdown the gov.

REMEMBER WHEN...

...during a pre-election interview with Kristen Welker, #TheOrangeMenace denied he had "an #EnemiesList" and would not waste his time going after his enemies b/c he "had too much important 'stuff' to do"?

Where's THAT discussion, Kristen? #MtP #MeetTheRepublicans #DisasterPresidency #ConvictedFelon

JUST. ONE. DEMOCRAT.

Invited to be on #MeetTheRepublicans this morning to discuss T****/Musk's wildly #illegal elimination of government agencies, and T****'s announcement of his planned takeover of #Gaza (or the #PanamaCanal or #Greenland.) 🤬

CLICK.

(UPDATED: Correction. NJ Sen Andy Kim (D) is on to respond.)

The interview of #DonTheCon on #MeetTheRepublicans was SO delusional & disconnected from reality, I could literally spend HOURS debunking it.

He STILL believes the 2020 Election was "stolen" and will continue to investigate it.

But when #Welker points out: "#Democrats did not control the WH in 2020. So why in 2024 with control of the WH and the entire gov't, did they not steal the election again?" (If you're wondering, his answer was his win was too big to steal. Actually 4th smallest ever.)

I HAD TO TURN OFF #MeetTheRepublicans.

They invited on (AGAIN) Rep Bill Whittaker (R-TN) to carry T****'s water.

He praised the ASININE pick of #KashPatel to head the FBI with the goal of destroying it, and when asked about #tariffs, it is BRUTALLY clear he thinks the *exporters* (not consumers) will be paying them. 🤦‍♂️

Brought up #RussiaGate. 🙄

Welker only asked if if he agreed with fmr T**** officials opposing these moves, but didn't correct any of his #BSC claims.

I just can't anymore.

CLICK!

Off goes #MeetTheRepublicans. As soon as a guest is allowed to say "Russia Hoax" with no pushback, that's it. I'm out (to quote Lindsey Graham.)

And to play the same clip of Matt #Gaetz MULTIPLE TIMES calling to "abolish the #FBI & The #ATF" without ONCE pointing out the way THESE SAME #REPUBLICANS vilified #Democrats for saying "Defund the police" is nauseating.

DO BETTER #MtP #MeetThePress. 🤬

Kristen Welker on #MeetTheRepublicans notes that T****'s CURRENT approval rating "is higher than it ever was WHILE he was president."

#AbsenceMakesTheHeartGrowFonder

#MeetTheRepublicans is back to #SaneWashing #TheOrangeMenace, having Speaker #Johnson on yet again to tell us "What T**** meant was..." and trying to spin the #Republican position on their unpopular ideas:

CLICK! Off goes the TV. I'll check back in ten minutes to #LiveBlog the #Sunday Shows. 😒

Ugh! #MeetTheRepublicans has on "Traitor Tom" Cotton yet again to trash #Democrats.

So off goes my TV.

#MtP starts with the latest aggregate poll average,

But broken down by the "key #SwingStates", we see just how important it is for #Harris to win #NorthCarolina.

If #TheOrangeMenace takes NC where it's tied and GA where he leads, he only need PA (her weakest lead) to win. 😞

DEAR LORD. 🤦‍♂️

#MeetTheRepublicans is having #TraitorTom #Cotton back on to attack #VP #Harris.

So there will be a slight pause in my Sunday blogging today as I shut off my TV when they bring him on.

PS: There was zero mention of T****'s disgusting photo-op at #Arlington Cemetery last week on #Fox, and it appears #MtP won't either. 🤬

"Barack Obama was a good father & husband. And so... BTW... is Donald T****." - Sen #JDVance on #MeetTheRepublicans regarding #SerialAdulterer #DementiaDon.

#MeetTheRepublicans is doing their thing again this morning, dedicating the entire episode to discuss whether or not #Biden should "drop out" rather than focus on T****'s torrent of lies & falsehoods during the #Debate (and T****'s own #SeniorMoment's where he accused Biden of Hillary's "#SuperPreditors" remark, etc. #MtP #MeetThePress

I just had to turn off #MeetTheRepublicans (aka #MeetThePress) too b/c their first guest is #TraitorTom Cotton who is trashing the judge, attacking the legal process, and lying to viewers of what the case was actually about.

I'll tune back in later. 😒

@DemocracyMattersALot
#Stefanik was on #MeetTheRepublicans this morning.

Someone with a stronger stomach than I should watch her "interview" and see if she accused #Biden of doing to #Israel what her #OrangeFuhrer did to #Ukraine (I *did* hear her falsely accuse #Biden of withholding "DEFENSIVE" weapons from Israel... which is a complete lie.)
