While listening to Stephanie Miller this morning, I had an epiphany

Scott Bessent is the human version of Snagglepuss.

LOL. And me thinking the biggest problem with him was his smugness and punchable face.

You can almost hear him say "Heavens to Murgatroyd"

Lawrence made the point multiple times that Bessent is going to attack Dems in Bessent’s scheduled appearance in Congress next week, while all those Dems recently voted to “respect” same-sex marriage. Bessent is gay and married to a man. And Bessent will show maximum respect to all the Republicans who recently voted to NOT respect same-sex marriages. Inside out, upside down. Maybe Bessent doesn’t respect his own same-sex marriage.

And Bessent’s absurd statement that Trump’s admin is the ONLY admin to get Iran to negotiate Iran’s enriched uranium is just such a stupid thing to say.

If Bessent is unaware of the 2015 JPCOA under Obama, he’s a fucking idiot and strictly a partisan tool.

This is another case where pushback is required, but missing. Having a MSNOW contributor refute Bessent is just not the same as Obama doing it.

just a stupid thing to say, it was an easily provable lie (Bessent absolutely knows it was a lie). As Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out last night, if he would make that statement before Congress, it would be a crime (lying to Congress is a crime)
