Okay, I Do Not Want To Do This But I Have To
I am not a fan of Joe Scarborough. I think he’s creepy. You know how you can be around somebody and they make you feel icky and you don’t know exactly why but they just do? That’s called The Scarborough Syndrome.
However, he has written a crass but funny song about Donald Trump and since everybody and their Aunt Bessy is sending it to me, I’m gonna cave and share it with everyone.
Here ya go.
Have fun.
Heads up to everybody and Aunt Bessy.
When Trumpski takes Viagra -he gets taller.
1He packed the Con. Center with Low IQ Bigots last night. We have a lot of them here in AZ. I hope that old man Senator don’t Brake any thing Flipping out to get away from Donny.
2Time to put the Demo. Gal in the Senate.
Mc Cain should go home and have a beer.
I, by a very deliberate choice, do not pay much attention to Joe Scarborough. He simply isn’t worth the time. So, this seems to me just another xenophobic attack on Trump for disavowing his utter lack of empathy for anyone outside his base. Those people, the other, etc., must pay for their sins (struggling for a better life), so any type of “amnesty” is off the table. A pretty feeble attempt to “liberalize” Trump. I’ve come to the conclusion there are only two types of Republicans – really mean, selfish types, and those too naive or frightened to really look beneath the surface. Scarborough is overtly playing to the first of these. The second will follow. And they call us “sheeple”. (Juanita, I will not be offended if you decide to not publish my near incoherent rambling. Thanks for just allow me to vent.)
3The Republicans have spent two decades courting and embracing the nastiest underbelly of the right. Now they can’t take ANY position without reasonable people thinking they’re crazy or their base thinking they’re traitors. Coulter is probably basking in the belief that it was her comments at T-Rump”s softening on immigrants that brought him back to the dark side.
4This is the time for “us” to employ articulate, well-reasoned arguments for progressive change. Less arm waving and more Keynesian economics. The Left has not had an opportunity like this to be the voice of reason since Roosevelt and The Depression.
We need to clean our house first. Any rational person can see that union administration has become an institution disassociated from actual working people in the same way many politicians are disassociated from the electorate. Hereditary leadership, like Clinton and Hoffa, needs to be dismantled in the next cycles. Start local, go national, and hold our own to the highest standards.
Terrifying to hear / read rebuke of Trump for not being a committed enough racist. Does Scarborough really speak for the cowboys ?
5Best comment I’ve read about Trump’s Mexico Adventure: Anyone can take a trip to Mexico and talk sh*t — it’s called Spring Break.
Trump and African-Americans: 0%
Trump and Latinos: Soon to be 0%.
Just jeep talking Donnie. You’re saving the Dems alot of effort.
6Is that Scarborough singing? Better than I’d have expected.
If course there is NO real amnesty being practiced or proposed. And there hasn’t been since Reagan. But try getting that through anybody’s head – on either side.

Yep Hair Drumpf wears his neckties that tight just to hold the foreskin back.
8O, and I bet there is a lot more like that and maybe even better (worse) out there. And Aunt Bessy, bless you for being so tolerant (and maybe even a little bit deaf).
9This is pathetic that this is the Republican candidate for the POTUS we are talking about.
And what is wrong with republicans? Now they are angry? Have they not been listening for the last year to what this lunatic has been saying ?
10Wally, the historian and biologist in me can’t let you use “hereditary” for HRC’s candidacy. She’s not Bill’s daughter. She’s not descended from any Clinton. There is no “hereditary” in that succession. And Trump sure doesn’t have any relative to inherit a political post from.
A candidate can be qualified (smart enough, sane enough, knowledgeable enough, experienced enough) whether related to any previous office holder or not. A candidate can be unqualified (too stupid, to insane, too ignorant, too inexperienced) whether related to any previous office-holder or not. And beyond that is what you think of their ideas & opinions.
11Ms. Moon,
12Point taken regarding “hereditary”. And I agree that HRC is qualified, meeting and exceeding all your “enoughs”.
I really do believe though, that we are in danger of having a ruling class. The bar to political entry is already plenty high (I know, hard to believe with the clowns the Republicans have been running) enough without adding having the right family name to the list. But maybe I’m the only one who is bothered by this?
Wally,
I have to wonder where you get the idea that the “bar to political entry is already plenty high”? President Obama served a term in the Senate before running for President. I will grant you that the man is incredibly articulate and the smartest man in any room he occupies, but I see those points as necessary in a POTUS.
I wish he could serve a third term.
13The Kennedys of Massachusetts were accused of treating high elected office as a birthright in my lifetime, as were the Bushes more recently. I admit a certain disgust for the piece I read about how Bush 41 and Bush 43 referred to themselves and each other that way, and to George P as “45”. Other families my dominate local or state politics as well creating the appearance of a glass ceiling on the political ambitions of those outside the family. While I mostly agree with Edward Starsmith’s comment above about President Obama, truthfully he is a political shooting star that IMO proves the existence of both the glass ceiling and its fragility when struck just right.
14Ruling class? Wait a parsec. Remember the Roosevelts? First,Teddy and the Franklin? I’m thankful for both of these guys. And I also remember and count in the group Eleanor who served in the United Nations and worked on drafting the Rights document.
