"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough went absolutely nuclear on elected Democrats Monday morning for refusing to denounce the party's rising far-left wing. He specifically cited far-left types such as Hasan Piker, a self-described Marxist who is the unofficial spokesman for the Democratic Socialists of America. Some DSA leaders have said in their own words that the goal is "to destroy America from within."
Piker's toxic rhetoric has included attacks on America, calls to "kill capitalists," and inflammatory remarks promoting hatred and violence.
Hasan Piker calls on his followers to kill capitalists:
“Yeah kill them! KiII those motherfuckers and murder those motherfuckers in the streets. Let the streets soak in their fucking red capitalist blood, dude.”

In one clip, Piker said: "We want more immigrants to come into your countries, and then they're gonna f**k your sisters and then your daughters. We're here to destroy the White Race, bitch."
Hasan Piker says he wants to FLOOD illegals into the United States so they can "f*ck your sisters and daughters" to "destroy the white race"
I am demanding the Democratic Party voice PUBLICLY that they denounce Hasan Piker's comments.
If they don't, let this post be proof…
Piker has a long history of hatred and violent rhetoric, but this is nothing new for the DSA, which is systematically pushing revolutionary Marxism to collapse the nation from within. So, this toxic rhetoric should make sense.

Meanwhile, the DSA has devolved into a "red-green alliance" of Islamists and communists....
And the latest comments from Piker to surface include:

Here's Scarborough from yesterday:
But please, I don't need people telling me, oh, you have to just turn a blind eye to people saying that women getting raped on October 7th didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Americans aren't going to support that!
This is not about me. This is about the Democrats once again fumbling the football on the two-yard line when they have a chance to make great gains, but being so woke—I don't know if you want to call it woke one, woke two, or woke three—but being too woke to call out the obvious! I swear to God, it's really crazy that we're even having this conversation.
If somebody says a woman being raped doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, it's okay to call that person out and demand that candidates distance themselves from those people if you want to rule over a party and win elections.
If somebody says going to a rally the day after Hamas slaughters more Jews than any time since the Holocaust, it's okay for Chuck Schumer, it's okay for Hakeem Jeffries to call that despicable and demand that people distance themselves from that. That's okay!
So why are we bringing this up now? We're bringing this up now because it seems an awful lot like what was happening in 2024 when Democrats couldn't get out of their own way to win an election they should have won."
Scarborough: Democrats must condemn Hasan Piker and distance themselves from his extremist rhetoric.

Left-wing Senator Chuck Schumer had his chance to denounce the Democratic Socialists but instead recently said, "Being a big-tent party is a strength, not a weakness."

Scarborough is not the only voice in the Democratic Party denouncing the DSA.
Last Friday, Hillary Clinton warned about the unhinged socialist, saying on a podcast that Republicans are deploying what she called a "very effective" anti-communist attack against the Democratic Party's rising class of far-left candidates.

— Jason Cohen 🇺🇸 (@JasonJournoDC) August 7, 2026Let's not forget:
DSA is far-left; let's not forget that.
The rise of socialist and Marxist factions within the Democratic Party carries an obvious political risk ahead of midterms: years of radioactive sound bites have created an opposition-research gold mine and what could become a major "gift to Republicans" in the midterms.
The deeper concern is radicalization pipelines that aren't just colleges and funded by billionaire foundations via nonprofits but also influence linked to the communist regimes in Cuba and China, alongside an increasingly visible alliance between far-left activists and Islamist movements.

Tyler Durden Tue, 08/11/2026 - 13:45Ahead of tomorrow's CPI report (which will come in tame thanks to continued housing disinflation), moments ago the US Treasury sold its first refunding auction, which came in very strong, stopping through the When Issued, and with above par metrics.
Pricing at a high yield of 4.291%, up from 4.179% in July and the highest since Feb 2025, the auction stopped through the When Issued 4.296% by 0.5bps, the 2nd consecutive through auction.
The bid to cover rose to 2.712, up from 2.600 and the highest since November; it was obviously well above the six-auction average of 2.606.
The internals were also solid, with Indirects awarded 64.24%, down slightly from 67.50% last month but in line with the recent average of 3.729%. And with Directs awarded 24.0%, well above the average of 21.7%, Dealers were left holding just 11.7%, one of the lowest Dealers this year.
Overall, this was a rock solid auction, and it should eliminate any concerns that the bond market (at least) is worried about tomorrow's CPI print (as in coming in much hotter than expected).
Tyler Durden Tue, 08/11/2026 - 13:26The new government in Damascus has tried to press Moscow to return to Syria the former longtime President Bashar al-Assad. He's reportedly lived in a posh area of the Russian capital, under heavy security, since he was ousted in December 2024 and forced to flee.
Perhaps realizing they will never apprehend him, a Syrian court under the new hardline Sunni Hayat Tahrir al-Sham government has on Tuesday sentenced the former ruler to death after a trial in absentia, convicting him of war crimes and atrocities during the prior 14-years of internal war which overtook the country.
AFP/Getty ImagesJudge Fakhr al-Din al-Aryan in Damascus convicted Assad for crimes including "premeditated murder, the intentional killing of more than one person, the intentional killing of children under 15 years... torture, torture leading to death, and deprivation of liberty on multiple occasions -- classified as crimes against humanity and war crimes."
"He is therefore sentenced to death," the court ruled. Other former high ranking officials in the Assad government are expected to be brought before the courts on similar charges. Many of them, including clerics and generals, are currently held in Syrian detention.
Some of these officials have been listed in AFP reporting: "The court also sentenced six former military and security officials in absentia to death including Assad's brother Maher, who ran the army's elite Fourth Division and also fled the country," AFP wrote.
"Those convicted included former defense minister Fahd al-Freij and Louay al-Ali, who headed military intelligence in Daraa province in 2011," the report noted.
The quasi-secular Syrian Ba'ath Party and Assad family had ruled Syria going back to 1970. This came about in the context of a permanent state of war with Israel, and particularly over the Golan Heights, as well as a long-running conflict with radical jihadist factions from within.
Prior to Assad family rule, Syria had suffered some dozen coups and changes of leadership, with many of these involving US and UK intelligence plots.
When there were signs of anti-Assad unrest in early 2011, the United States once again ramped up its covert intervention in Syria, pouring weapons and support into so-called 'moderate rebels' who went on to form the core of Syrian al-Qaeda and ISIS.
Meanwhile, meet the new Syrian government's top diplomatic point man to Washington, who previously kidnapped Americans as an AQ operative...

— Lindsey Snell (@LindseySnell) July 28, 2026Facing a Western and Gulf armed Sunni insurgency, the Assad government sought to put down the proxy war in brutal fashion. But ultimately after many years of covert and economic war, the West won out, and from this emerged Syrian al-Qaeda founder (Nusra Front/HTS) Abu Mohammad al-Jolani.
He is now the self-declared President Ahmed al-Sharaa, and the West and Gulf nations have embraced him and his Sunni-dominant government as their 'friend' and puppet.
As for Assad, there have been recent rumors and reports the and his family have traveled abroad at times, making secretive visits to the Gulf region.
