The Beclowning of Scott Bessent
Another Trump enabler pays the price

When people talk about rape culture this is exactly what they mean: Michaels and Herbstreit minimizing and dismissing the allegations of dozens of women.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 2w agoListening to Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit wave away the sexual assault charges against DeShaun Watson — even saying “winning is the best deodorant” — was pretty jarring, especially this week.
Look. He is about to make us part of the Axis of Evil.
Khashoggi's Ghost@urocklive1.bsky.social · 3w agoUnbelievable. Apparently at the same time Trump is withholding a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan approved by Congress, he offered to sell arms to Xi Jinping, despite the fact that China is aiding Iran and Russia. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/u...
![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 26A305
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, ET AL. U.
CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 14, 2026]
The application for stay presented to JUSTICE JACKSON and by her referred to the Court is denied. The Government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge to the District Court's preliminary injunction. And the equitable factors applicable for obtaining emergency relief from this Court do not favor a stay.
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring.
In my view, based on the briefing the Court has received at this interim stage, there is at least a fair prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory authority. See 39 U. S. C. §401(2). But applying the rule in the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act because state and local election officials do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule before the elections. See 39
U. S. C. §3001(m); 5 U. S. C. §706(2)(A). For that reason, I concur in the denial of the application for stay.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreicqn5lewxb2bkaazujt77bmsjfq4ultwu2alo3emhvgsnpkotnwoy)
And now our CIA Director is in Moscow?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo ago"Donald Trump spent the past week cozying up to North Korea and attacking Canada. Whatever claim the US had to be a beacon of free trade — not to mention moral leadership — has been demolished like the East Wing of the White House."
This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.
We need new Dem leaders who don’t sell us out.
TRG@q4nwspunk.bsky.social · 2mo agoWhom else have these two tawdry traitors been meeting with ???? Schumer is well know for his backdoor deals…… self serving indeed….. now he has a house negro doing the same thing…… two NY Scammers affecting the Democratic Party for personal gain….
And why aren’t we protesting at the Supreme Court?!
Lee West@whodat35.bsky.social · 2mo agoChief Justice Roberts at the Supreme Court says Trump can continue ballroom work as it weighs case The administrative stay gives the court more time to weigh an emergency appeal by the Trump admin in a lawsuit challenging the project. | WaPo www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2mo agoDammit. I was hoping this would stall out. Leave it to the Roberts court to prop up the 2028 Trump coup.
