Mamdani does Fox News Sunday: Some things never change. Or if they do, they change back.
After a brief flirtation with reality, the sitting president has reverted to what may be his oldest way. The New York Times reports the reversion to a tired, inane old form:
Trump Veers Back Into Claims of Rigged Election
For years, President Trump has claimed without evidence that any election he lost or even feared losing was rigged. So it was a surprise to many when, on election night after his party was routed in the midterms last week, he said he was “absolutely willing” to accept the results.
That lasted less than a week.
“Does anybody really believe that this ‘Election’ was honest,” Mr. Trump wrote on Monday on social media, renewing his efforts to sow doubt about the outcome in the face of staggering Democratic wins. “How could the Polls be so wrong??? Some early voting ‘dumps’ were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote. It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!”
And so on from there.
Sad! At first, he flirted with a blindingly obvious piece of basic reality. But soon, the president reverted, with the Times citing past manifestations of this persistent madness.
This madness is very old hat.
A different strain of public behavior—a type of "new morning"—was visible on Fox News Sunday this weekend. In an interview videotaped last Wednesday, Shannon Bream—one of the sane ones—spoke with Mayor Mamdani, quickly resulting in this:
BREAM (11/4/26): So you are a self-described democratic socialist—DSA.
MAMDANI (chuckling): Here on Fox!
BREAM: We welcome them all! We're glad that you accepted our invitation. We're glad to have you.
MAMDANI: Absolutely.
[...]
BREAM: OK. So, get rid of borders?
MAMDANI: No
BREAM: Get rid of SCOTUS.
MAMDANI: No.
BREAM: Get rid of jails.
MAMDANI: No.
BREAM: So, do you think DSA is going to kick you out?
MAMDANI: No.
The interview continued from there. The mayor was batting away official DSA policy planks. The usual miscreants at Fox News had used those peculiar planks, all through this past summer and fall, to try to take down the Dems.
Despite her employer, Bream isn't crazy. In our view, she and Mamdani created an interview session worth pondering. No one got rude / mad / crazy or nuts, with Mamdani explicitly saying that he doesn't support the DSA's less plausible policy stances.
The DSA has some strange, other-worldly policy planks. The mayor just said no.

It's called "trolling", Bob, my friend. He trolls retarded Dumbocrats, they (you, in this case) get triggered, he laughs at you.
Simple entertainment; it never fails.
Comprende?
You a loser, bigly chump.
DeleteBigly chimp.
DeleteYet again, Somerby's post proves that he's a paid, racist, sexist, right-wing pedophile. And I'm sure we'll soon get a couple of thousand-word comments establishing that point beyond peradventure.
ReplyDeleteSomerby either can't do nuance or just repeats RW bullshit.
Delete"What the DSA Platform Says
DSA’s 2026 program includes a section titled “End Mass Incarceration and Police Immunity” that:
Calls to demilitarize police departments and disempower police unions.
Seeks to redirect funding from policing to public services"
Like BLM "abolish the police" is short for doing more constructive stuff with a portion of funds for policing. Like helping with mental health or buttered & battered families. I think dumb political sloganeering, but the underlying message is for the good.
Agree with George, Somerby does a piss poor job at hiding his racism, sexism, and xenophobia, and this lack of effectiveness in slyly pushing a right wing agenda is concerning to those on the right that are hoping Somerby can fool Dems into rolling over for Republicans.
DeleteDG is trolling. No one said anything yet to set him off but here he is whining again.
DeleteLosers: "The last of the tankers carrying Russian diesel towards the US has made a U-turn about 400 nautical miles from New York. No Russian diesel has reached the US."
ReplyDeleteRussia's monthly casualty toll in Ukraine has been reaching startingly high numbers, essentially more than a Vietnam every month.
DeleteAt the end of this, nuclear weapons aside, Ukraine will probably have one of the most capable conventional forces in the world.
Getting close to 3,000/day. Fucking Russians.
Delete"Ukraine will probably have one of the most capable conventional forces in the world."
DeleteExactly. They are bravely retreating and fearlessly draft dodging en masse, while their incapable enemies pathetically volunteer and cowardly advance.
Jim Jordan will be the new Republican leader in the U.S. house of representatives. I’m sure he’ll support the release of the Epstein files.
ReplyDeleteBut will he continue to hide that as the wrestling assistant coach at OSU he ignored the student-athletes on the wrestling team that were being abused by the team's doctor?
DeleteNumerous student-athletes reported that Jordan knew of the abuse but neglected to do anything about it. Jordan went so far as to try to intimidate the abused student-athletes into silence.
That's why he is often called Gym Jordan.
And that is why he works to protect Trump and others in the Epstein Class. Birds of a feather flock together.
Jim Jordan is proof positive that the Republicans learned nothing from their shellacking. Trump single handedly scuttles their party and they then choose his most faithful guard dog, a spotlight hound whose history of enabling sexual predators is his most useful qualification.
DeleteTrolling or insanity?
ReplyDeletePresident Donald Trump’s Saturday offer of the White House press secretary job to UFC boss Dana White, along with a team of mixed martial arts fighters as his “assistants,” left critics debating whether the president was joking or simply coming unglued.
I would vote for trolling". But, I disapprove. IMO, the President ought not indulge in "trolling, even though I am glad he has a sense of humor.
Fuck you, dickface
DeleteTrump is so funny he surrendered to the Taliban and lost the Iran "incursion" on day one.
DeleteYour vote counts about as much as it did in the midterms. Of course there Trump was trolling his own party by endorsing the shittiest of candidates, all of whom lost. What a sense of humor. I laughed all the way to the polling station.
DeleteMamdani wiped the floor with Bream, this post is meant to try to save face for Bream/Fox News.
ReplyDeleteBut then why does Somerby take a swipe at Fox with this: "Despite her employer, Bream isn't crazy."
DeleteWhy does he dig at them as he saves them face? Does your theory stand up to the actual words in the actual post? No it does not.
Trolling has nothing to do with humor, it is a tool weaponized primarily to exert dominance.
ReplyDeleteTrump says incredibly dumb things because he is obsessed with dominance, and when it goes south he tries to gaslight and retcon that he was just joking.
Brother, please.
Nope, dumb shit the demented one confused a Navy press spox with the wrestling dude. He just ain't got two marbles left up there. Dumbest fucker ever., besides David that is.
DeleteTrump has repeatedly said he can end his war in Iran anytime, to thundering applause from his diminishing minions.
ReplyDeleteSo............
Gym Jordan elected House Minority Leader because why?
ReplyDeleteOn HBO - ""Surviving Ohio State" 2025,
DeleteSports, Crime
Surviving Ohio State: Bravely told by the student-athletes and others who concealed their trauma for years, this film tells the story of the male victims of Dr. Richard Strauss, a physician and serial sex abuser employed by The Ohio State University (OSU) from 1978 to 1998."" And covered up by pedo assistant wrestling coach - Gym Jordan. Jagoffs and weirdos the whole lot of you.
From Wiki, "“Several involved persons have stated that Jordan surely knew of Strauss’s criminal misconduct but did not report it. While at least one victim has named Jordan as knowledgeable of accusations against Strauss, Head Coach Russ Hellickson said he may not have known about the abuse. A spokesperson for Jordan denied the allegation, saying that Jordan “never saw or heard of any abuse, and if he had, he would have dealt with it”.
DeleteNo wrestlers have accused Jordan himself of sexual misconduct, but four former wrestlers named him as a defendant in a lawsuit against the university. Jordan has denied any wrongdoing and has described his accusers as “pawns in a political plot”."
The few Republicans who aren't sex pests spend their time protecting sex pests.
