Douglas Muzzio

I was part of a remarkable era in NYC politics, filled with all time greats like @musingmuttering.  I'm not looking to pick at old wounds, but this clip captures Doug’s enthusiasm and what made him so good. For the record, I won that wager. What's the interest after 20 years?

Donald Trump voted by mail in today’s special election in Florida. Republicans want to take this right away from everyone else. These extremists are complete and total phonies.

TRUMP: “We shot down three of our own planes with Patriot missiles. But it’s all good bc the pilots survived and are still flying today.” WHAT?!?! How embarrassing. And why is he acting like this is some great achievement?

This is not how representatives of a superpower talk. This is how jumped-up teenagers talk.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 “WE ARE TERRORISTS” Pete Hegseth just openly admitted that the US is a terrorist state. “We negotiate with bombs” He also threatens to “viciously” keep raining down death on Iranians.

The desperation is staggering. Trump literally invented a "secret Iranian official" to pretend peace talks were happening. The Iranian Speaker of Parliament had to publicly tweet that Trump is spreading fake news to manipulate financial markets. Absolute embarrassment.

BREAKING: Trump just said that Pete Hegseth was angry that there may be a settlement in the Iran war. He said that Hegseth doesn’t want it to be settled. "I don’t want to say this but I have to… Pete didn’t want it to be settled." In other words our Sec. of War doesn't want peace, he wants war.

Absolute psychopath. Trump casually admits on live TV to intentionally targeting civilian electric plants in Iran. He boasts about roaming free and destroying civilian infrastructure. This is a blatant admission of war crimes and collective punishment.

BREAKING: Republicans are investigating Jack Smith, but ignoring what he found. New bombshell reporting from MSNow: • Smith uncovered evidence Trump took top-secret docs tied to his business interests • Investigators saw this as a possible motive for keeping them • Trump allegedly showed a classified map on a private plane • Took documents so sensitive only 6 people in the U.S. could access them • Hundreds of classified records found at Mar-a-Lago after subpoenas • Grand jury indicted Trump on 37 counts Instead of digging into THIS… • Republicans are targeting the investigator, not the evidence • DOJ blocked release of key findings • Trump allies pushing probes into Smith himself Republicans are chasing the messenger, not the message or the crime.

Trump, minutes apart: "I don't call it war. The Democrats call it war." Also Trump: "We have won the war." Senile? Dementia? Pathological liar? Or all of the above?

Absolute disaster. A former US Ambassador admits on live TV that the US has "already lost" the war because the Strait of Hormuz is only closed due to America starting the conflict. He confesses the goal was regime change, it failed, and now Trump is just "making it up."

Trump paid for Jan 6th

Yes it would be terrible

🔥 Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files. Trump told him three times: "I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life." This video was deleted from twitter by Elon Musk, you know what to do ‼️‼️

Terrifying revelation. Trump is fabricating fake peace talks just to keep the stock market stable while he secretly rushes thousands of Airborne troops and Marines into position for a massive ground invasion of Iran. There was never any real plan.

An adulterer, alcoholic and war criminal who exalts "death and destruction... in the name of Jesus Christ" IS the most powerful argument for separation of church and state in American history.

Fuck Pete Hegseth He just said, "We negotiate with bombs." He claims to be a Christians but has ZERO value for human lives. This idiot will be the fall guy for this war, but he is too stupid to see it.

CNN's Christiane Amanpour exposes Trump's massive lie. She confirms the White House admits off the record that "peace talks" with Iran are completely fake. Iran is calling it fake news and accusing Trump of just trying to manipulate the stock market.

🚨 Trump: “We shot down three of our own planes with Patriot missiles… but the pilots survived.” Read that again. U.S. systems took out U.S. aircraft. And it’s being framed as a success. What a MESS! This is genuinely embarrassing.

Absolute chaos. The NYT reports total confusion in the White House. Trump is desperately begging for a way out of the war to save the markets. Now Türkiye, Egypt, and Pakistan are stepping in to mediate because Trump's disastrous war is threatening the entire global economy.
