Dumbfuck in charge

This is on our President's mind and he feels the need to let the world know it - EVERY FUCKING DAY.
Mike Pence and the rest of the Republicans who don't denounce Trump for this are pussies!

It's also textbook projection.

They said that LBJ knew he'd lost about Vietnam when he'd lost Walter Cronkite.

Maybe Trump thinks Joe Scarborough is his Cronkite.

I happened to see Scarborough's Memorial Day rant about Trump. It was pretty impressive. For once, Trump might be correct.

What did Scarborough say on Memorial Day that makes you think Trump might be correct?

[seahawk]

Scarborough gave quite a speech about all Trump's rantings and failures and it was more than the usual anchor talk, it was obviously prepared and just excoriated Trump, but in a very deliberate way. And went on longer than the usual TV anchor off the cuff remarks. Scarborough is obviously way more intelligent than Trump, is a charismatic guy and has as good a sense about TV as Trump does. And, unlike many of the pundits, has been in elected office and knows that world.

I met and shook hands with Scarborough once at a barbecue/town hall meeting at a small country community center. He knows his business. He was really going after Trump.

The dude does nothing but rant and shake his fist at the sky. On his best day.

Sure it is Donny. Sure it is.
The piece of shit only cares about "fairness" when he feels HE is being treated unfairly.

[Geezer]

He can't do shit. This will be funny.

The problem is that he has no friends.

If you had a friend who was behaving like this, you'd tell him he behaving strangely and ask if he's OK.

No one will say that or ask that of Trump.

No, the problem is that no matter what Trump says or does, sycophantic, cowardly Republicans will not do anything about him.

In this case, Joe Scarborough is a huge threat because he's not someone that such as you can call a Coastal Elite. He went to University of Alabama and the University of Florida and he grew up Catholic, went to Catholic High School. What can Wharton Donald say about a Bama grad?

What are Republicans supposed to do about him, exactly?

Given Trump's poll numbers, I would expect them to be running away from him. Quickly.

But they're not.

[DCHawk1]

And maybe they will.

I don't know.

Let's review 5/28/20.
* Donnie is upset that Twitter doesn't kiss his ass and "fact checked" him so he signed an "executive order" today. I find it interesting he has no problem posting political manipulation via Twitter but when he feels it's done against him (or that he feels Twitter is biased) then he whines like a bitch.
* Said he would shut down Twitter if he could. SURE he would.
* Speaking of Twitter and his shutting it down if he could, his only acknowledgement of the 100,000 people who died of/with/from Covid-19 was in a tweet - despite his having a media presence in the Oval Office today.
* He may have but to the best of my knowledge he didn't address what is happening in Minneapolis.
* He has NOT posted about Scarborough today so maybe he is actually listening to wise people who have told him it's dumb move.
*The lovely (sarcasm alert) Kayleigh McEnany did her typical deflecting during the Q&A session today. Shame on the media for not calling her out on it more than they do. They ask her a critical question and instead of answering it her defense is to say - well, so and so did this - while ignoring the question was in reference to the President - not so and so.

But they're not.

If republicans abandoned Saint Donald, what would they run on:

"Fiscal Responsibility" party?

"Law and Order" party?

"Family Values" party?

"Small Government" party?

"Balanced Budget" party?

"The Repeal and Replace" party?

"The Trickle Down" party?

"The Strong On Communism" party?

"The Lock'em In Cages" party?

The "We're Conservatives Who believe in tariffs and price controls" party?

"The Build the Wall and Mexico Will Pay for It" party?


Without Trump and his ability to motivate and play on white American bigotry and grievance, they don't have anything affirmative to run on.

[Geezer]

^^^^^^^ yup

[DCHawk1]

"The Lock'em In Cages" party?

Sorry. That's your guy.

[Deleted User 289]

"The Lock'em In Cages" party?

Sorry. That's your guy.

OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! BUT BUT BUT BUT OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!

Yes, it was her guy - and then it became your guy too.
Difference is your guy had no problem with separating children from their parents (in front of one another) as a mandatory cause of action.

So.... Fuck you? Or fuck Obama? Or fuck Trump for chosing to continue to do (to a greater extreme?) what Obama did?

"The Lock'em In Cages" party?

Sorry. That's your guy.

Yes, it's his guy AND your guy too.
Difference is your guy had no problem with separating children from their parents (in front of one another) as a mandatory cause of action.

So.... Fuck you?

Imagine if it was your job to do anything and everything you can possibly think of to try and mitigate the the depravity of Donald Trump's behavior. Is it any wonder why DC lost his shit here a couple of days ago?

When the looting starts, the shooting starts. Kinda catchy.

Maybe he’ll find a fire started by the looters and jump in it.

Yup. ‘Cuz there’s no difference between protesting without hurting people or property and protesting by setting fires, looting, and destroying property.
