I halfway expected Mr. Smirconish’s tongue to be in flames by the time finished speaking. All that acknowledgement ( I wouldn’t go so far as to call it praise) must have hurt. 😂🤗
This has been a great weekend of winning. I’ll take some more, please.
Could it be that some like Smirconish are finally waking up?
What may have seemed impossible is coming to fruition under real leadership.
President Trump is exceeding our wildest expectations!
God bless him and keep him in His care!
Uhhh … actually, IMO, this entire Smirconish report, to DJT, is DAMNING WITH FAINT PRAISE.
Nothing — again, IMO — that he says is not without some negative — in some cases, very negative — anti-DJT spin.
How do I interpret this? My 2-part HYPOTHESIS is as follows: [a] CNN management puts him in there to play a role … which is to try to boost platform ratings with potential non-DemonKKKrat-WHACKO viewers … where, for that purpose, Smirconish is the one who acts, to some degree, like he is at least somewhat pro-DJT; while, [b] at the same time Smirconish, himself, may want to retain some measure of professionalism, I’m not sure he can handle the stiffling TDS pressure of his peers … where, hence, he does not go nearly full-DJT; not nearly. [I can see where his CNN colleagues, in their midguided sense of what the world is about, tells Smirconish not to go full retard; never go full retard. Oh, if they only knew.]
I hope there is some sort of legal route where if it’s proven his 2020 election was stolen (which it 100% was) that he can be awarded another term. SOMETHING to keep him in until after 2030 so the WEF cannot achieve their goal and he can officially fix EVERYTHING and make it impossible to go back to the establishment way.
Well… do I think the election was “stolen”…. YES…. however, without the loss in 2020 we would not have the President that we have now. A second term would not have garnered the support and outrage that is part of the political tornado that we are witnessing. OUR second term is like no other in history because Trump is a “graduate” of the school of Washington politics along with the laser focus and bravado that could not possible exist without the lessons of the first term under his belt!
1st term :
Clark Kent
2nd term :
Superman
1st term :
Peter Parker
2nd term :
Spiderman
1st term :
Some lizard/dragon hibernating under the sea
2nd term :
GODZILLA !!!!
As much as I love and am amazed by President Trump, and EVERYTHING that he is doing and has accomplished, I don’t support him running for another term. We need term limits for EVERY position in our government… and that would include OUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT. But, I am not aware of anything in the constitution that says the President can’t become the VP, or any other position within an administration that he would be willing to hold. Does anyone know if that would be a possibility?
Forget the 3rd term fantasy.
Can’t happen legally.
The 2020 can’t be declared null and void…..because every bit of legislation from then on would be invalid.
= Chaos.
Never happen.

That was a very surprising commentary from CNN.
Can I bet that they aired it at say 3:30 a.m.? Good for them, just the same.
When CNN gives accolades to Trump you must step back. Not only saying by trumps own accord he is winning but agreeing with his platform? Since when? CNN has never had an ear for Americans but told them what to think.
But as always an agenda is there, Ukraine needs more money and arms. IMHO Zelensky must go before a single bullet or penny is given. The killing has made that man a millionaire, he should be given to Russia for a peace offering. If his livelihood is war then what incentive is there for peace? Same as Iran, heck most of the world for that matter. Disgusting lot they are.
If only to ensure that those year-end stats show a non-zero value for the number of stories that were not anti-Trump. 0.5 % will do. “See, we’re not biased!”

Can’t say as their coverage impressed me. Lots of positive achievements made less by the constant jabs.
Smirconish was at one time was a conservative radio pundit from Philadelphia on WCAU 1210 AM. He later left the station to become a CNN TV pundit. He is a typical opportunist and hustler. Chris Matthews was also a radio political pundit from Philadelphia who preceded Smirconish. Both were asked to be on Rush’s show. Smirconish is not a Trump supporter, just goes whichever way the political winds blow.

It’s not that surprising, CNN is beginning to position themselves on what they think will be the ‘winning’ side of the Democratic civil war, represented by Fetterman and Mamdani as the ‘extreme’ opposite sides in the conflict. That’s of course is CNN survive the second Trump term, which seems increasingly uncertain.
More like positioning themselves to hopefully survive the upcoming spin-off by Warner Bros.-Disney, that removes them from the “business” cash source propping up their existence.

CNN, broadcasting what the Democrats and RINOS are up against in Trump 2.0, has decided to try and look like they’re Americans like you and I. They’re not. With the Commie probably winning in November in NYC, all Democrats will shut down, saying nothing, lest they draw attention to their incompetence and socialist ways.
Their campaigns will have platitude slogans, that they don’t mean, and they will say nothing out loud, hoping the sheep don’t bleat and ask for more dialogue. It’s the Obama way…say a bunch of nothing.
President Trump will need to draw them out from underneath their rocks. Republicans, as usual, won’t take advantage of the help. That’s where MAGA candidates need to make their move and primary them.

In his opening, Smirconish — a fine Scottish name — states that although he agrees with POTUS DJT regarding “trade, borders, Iran” goals … his disagreement is over DJT’s approach. Color me skeptical, but, for now, I will take him at his word.
Our Founders — particularly Jefferson — who were not in favor of distinct-contrasting political factions [read: political parties] would, I believe, advocate in support of Smirconish’s opening statement.
OTOH, regarding the prevailing Legacy Media, their massive self-generated problem, co-joined with that of the DemonKKKrat Party, at large, is that they not only advocate aggressively against DJT’s goals, they also advocate venomously against his methods and approaches.
Of course, these entities rabidly hate DJT — in any and all ways, Orange Man Bad! — where, in fact — at least IMO and that of many others — their rejection of everything PITUS DJT … is because they hate everything about America as it exists currently.
My operating model is that the majority of these DemonKKKrats — the party, their lapdog media, and all their Rat Minions — do not even know our foundational American Covenant, while the odd few who are aware of the supreme terms and conditions of this covenant rebuke it outright. Such is the motivation for their underlying desire to “fundamentally transform” our NATION; hence their hate.
The only way by which We The People may be able to stop them — and to return our nation, guided by our covenant, to the one which was defined in our founding — is for a good, solid majority of We The People — say >60% — to know, embrace, and advocate for our collective adherence to this covenant. Achieving this goal, IMO, should be — MUST BE — the stated goal of all good patriotic Americans.
As it was for our Founders, and for all subsequent American generations, such is up to us and ONLY US … that is, We The People. There is no other army, other than the one in the mirror, coming to save us.
Our unified return to our covenant, of course, is the only way by which, truly, we can … MAGA & MAHA!

Smerconish is a big fan of GHW Bush. He would prefer that approach which is to say the approach that has failed over and over for 30 years.

The only two people on CNN watch and Scott Jennings and Mike Smerconish.
Smerconish regularly has his viewers roasting him as a MAGA Rep.
He is a middle of the road Dimm.
If I were Rep the only two people in CNN I would accept as debate moderators ate Smerconish and Jennings.
Hmmm … okay, but you are MUCH MORE GENEROUS to Smirconish than I could ever be.
To wit: listen to his commentary [02:00] regarding instances of POTUS DJT being “empathetic”. What! Is this guy kidding us? Is he serious? Trump has repeatedly and consistently DEMONSTRATED EMPATHY!
An overall theme of the DJT Admin is his empathy for We The People … which is ONE of the PRIMARY, if not the overall ABSOLUTE PRIMARY REASON why the commie anti-USA LEFT hate DJT; is that his focus, indeed, is on We The People, rather than on the ALL-POWERFULL ALL-KNOWING ALL-IMPORTANT Fed State.
DJT is positively seething with empathy … in comparison with Benedict Biden, any DemonKKKrat politician, any Legacy Media person, or any of their DemonKKKrat Rat Minions, whether domestic or foreign.
Bonus question: When, if ever, did Benedict Biden demonstrate even a small measure of empathy for We The People? [Note: compelling massive taxes and then using same to RE-DISTRIBUTE to some preferred political class — read: BUYING their votes — is NOT EMPATHY!]

Of the occasional occasions I’ve seen a Smirconish clip, I’ve found he can occasionally be a bit objective in his commentary… on occasion… but always with just a little bit of anti-Trump spin here and there, of course. For example, the last 3:30 here was just straight-up reality… even twisting the knife a little on the 2024 result with hard numbers…

Warner Bros.-Disney-ESPN is about to streamline their business as well as cut dead weight with an upcoming corporate restructure.
CNN is dead weight and now has to do the “Fox” thingy of looking like a news outlet catering to the “Middle” 40-50% of voters.
The new “middle ground and la la land” line up will be:
Fox
CNN
MSNBC (another spin-off)
Newsmax (New Wall Street IPO, must cater to the globalist masters)
Breitbart and Gateway Pundit moving to get there via cut and paste leftist news articles.
All still worth seeing as a 1-stop shopping source for views across the spectrum as well as to see a few of the folks they still allow to broadcast in an attempt to appear MAGA.

You are way over thinking my post.
Not even a nice try. It’s not working.
He kinda liked the result but didn’t like the ‘approach’, whatever the hell he means by that. These phonies always leave themselves an out.
“…didn’t like the ‘approach’, whatever the hell he means by that.”
IMHO he was prolly referring to PDJT’s “mean tweets”…….. 🤣🤣
