Former George W. Bush strategist Steve Schmidt says there are 114 days until the 250th anniversary of the independence of the United States, and 235 days until the midterm election. And every one of them must be filled with subpoenas.“The first occasion will be desecrated by [President Donald] Trump’s brand, but it must also be a call-to-action against the MAGA obscenity that serves the whims of America’s Nero,” said Schmidt.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, for example, has disallowed still photography from his briefings because he objects to the images, said Schmidt.“His vanity is as impaired as his judgement and morality,” said Schmidt, adding that “The hyped-up secretary of defense shares something in common with the Ayatollahs. Each is a religious nutter who believes the end times are within reach — and that that’s a good thing.”Schmidt took particular offense at the “blasphemous image” of Trump staging a prayer in the Oval Office and the image of him dancing on a stage in Kentucky while US strikes kill girls in Iran.“Watching Trump dance while America is at war is a sickening sight, but not so sick as what Trump is alleged to have done to young girls,” said Schmidt. “I cannot help but wonder about the abyss of his depravities and evil. [But] the truth about what he has done is moving closer. Inexorably closer.”Schmidt worked on the 2008 presidential campaign of Sen John McCain (R-Ariz.) and said he smells defeat for the GOP in November. The Democratic Party, he said, “will have a sweeping victory,” and the new Congress must assert its power “fully and absolutely. ““There must be oversight, rigorous oversight of every department, agency and decision. It must rain subpoenas,” said Schmidt, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project. “… The victory ahead cannot be either deluded or empty. Democrats must begin to bring MAGA to heel. There can be no more appeasements.”Schmidt complained of the young Americans put “in harm’s way,” by Trump’s self-imposed war in the Middle East, as well as the shockwaves headed for the U.S. economy with the possible rise of $6-$7 a gallon gasoline. “The corruption is epic, but so great as the sheer stupidity and incompetence of the men in the Florsheim shoes,” Schmidt said. “Soon, it will be the beginning of the end, but the danger will only go up until the MAGA treachery is fully snuffed out by the American people. … We will always carry the shame as Americans, but we can take satisfaction knowing that we lit an end to what should never have been, and cannot be again.”
