NBC got its prize: a sit-down with the President for a Meet the Press exclusive, taped in a Wisconsin barn before a farming roundtable. It did not go to plan. Rain hammered the metal roof, the audio failed, and roughly fifty minutes in — with the conversation turned to the still-uncounted California vote — Kristen Welker lost her guest for good.
She pressed him on his claim that the race out west was being stolen. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, Trump told her. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘥. 𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘢. Welker pushed back, again and again — 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 — and he refused to hand her a brief. 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬, he said.

Welker scrambled to keep him in the chair, protesting that she had traveled all the way to Wisconsin through the rain and given him his time. He left her with one parting instruction — 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵 one — and then he simply stood up and walked.

For a decade the legacy networks have treated these sit-downs as a controlled burn — the anchor narrates, the President is made to squirm, the clip is cut to flatter the host.

Morris Katz, the alleged brains behind Graham Platner’s astroturfed rise, is about to discover that his theater kid routine doesn’t work in Maine like it did in NYC.
Genevieve McDonald is the ex-Graham Platner aide who resigned after the Nazi tattoo, the lies, the Reddit posts, and the other lies came out. Unlike the financial advisor who quit Platner’s campaign at the same time citing ethical concerns, McDonald did not take the $15,000 hush money to sign an NDA.
Sources familiar with how this story unfolded tell me that multiple national news outlets had been making calls about Platner’s serial adultery and the “Predator’s Paradise” social media app he used w/ a shirtless, sexualized selfie.
McDonald, after publicly claiming Platner knew all along that his Nazi tat was a Nazi tat, took a campaign gig with Jordan Wood, the former Katie Porter staffer who left the U.S. Senate race to try for ME-CD2 (recently vacated by Rep. Jared Golden but likely to go to ex-Gov. Paul LePage). It was via Wood’s campaign that Team Platner began to level threats after they became aware McDonald had talked to the New York Times.
Morris Katz, the 27yo theater kid who blessed NYC with a Bowdoin socialist for mayor, was the big swinging dick demanding that McDonald call the WSJ and totally retract her comments. Like an impetuous boy king, he also insisted she record the call with the WSJ and send the recording to him as proof.
Needless to say, she told him to fuck off. McDonald left the Wood campaign voluntarily rather than create drama and distraction at a time when the most recent polling suggests Wood could have a chance at winning the four-way RCV Dem primary in ME-CD2.
The Obama Pod Bros and media figures (maybe getting paid via Platner’s vendor Good Influence, LLC) are trashing McDonald like she’s some GOP operative who is helping Susan Collins win re-election. But she gave the loudest possible signal as early as she could that Platner was damaged goods.
Tough to see how she did anything underhanded at all. If they’d listened to her, the lefties could have spared themselves what’s about to happen. But then Little Mo Katz wouldn’t be rolling around in Platner’s ActBlue cash.

It appears 6 or 7 more individuals was spotted coming out of a different manhole . It appears the men all had tools on them as well .
We have a real problem on our hands.

We don't need a crystal ball to know what is going to happen. We've watched the UK/Europe destroy themselves in the same way.
This is Grammy-winning artist Pras Michel shaking hands with Barack Obama in 2012.
This month, he officially reported to prison to begin a 14-year federal sentence after prosecutors proved he helped funnel millions in illegal foreign money into Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.
The operation: Prosecutors proved Michel accepted more than $100 million from Malaysian financier Low Taek Jho in a covert influence scheme tied to influencing U.S. elections.
The laundering network: Michel used straw donors to secretly route foreign cash into Obama’s 2012 campaign, bypassing federal election laws designed to prevent foreign influence in American elections.
The verdict: A federal jury convicted him on 10 criminal counts, including conspiracy, money laundering, witness tampering, and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government.
In other words: Barack Obama colluded with a foreign power to illegally influence and rig the 2012 presidential election in his favor.
If there were Grammys for political satire songs, this would win. Further evidence that the left has zero meme game compared to the right. #songofsummer
