Tensions between the Trump family and the conservative powerhouse Club for Growth spilled into the open on Thursday.

It started with the Trump family freaked out that the Club for Growth chief David McIntosh ran ads against J.D. Vance in Ohio's GOP Senate primary even after Trump endorsed him. Trump instructed an assistant to send a profane text message to McIntosh, New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman reported.

She noted Donald Trump, Jr. had bashed McIntosh publicly for backing Josh Mandel in the primary.

4. Seriously - if I read this right, TCFG is supporting Mandel.

3. They would have to change their name

Club for Collapse.

Club for Kleptocracy.

5. Shake things up?

Oh hell. We've been shook enough. I had a friend who voted for Trump because she wanted to "shake things up." Look where that got this nation. Now Trump Jr wants to shake things up. They still think they are the poor abused ones.

16. And it never went further than that.

Wanted to “shake things up.” Just merely for the sake of shaking things up. And toward what end? Do they even know?

Whenever I hear these jerks yowl about wanting to shake things up, I’m reminded of a cartoon I saw years ago that depicted a smoldering ruin of a “landscape” and one solitary figure, covered in tatters and blood and dirt, face full of anger, a fist raised in “righteous” outrage. Standing in smoldering ruins, ever in defiance…

And I think the basic message was about hollow victory - so did you get what you wanted out of this? There’s nothing left but charred ruins, and everyone and everything around you dead, burned, destroyed. Was it worth it? Happy NOW?

6. Geez, What A Lazy Slob!

Trump instructed an assistant to send a profane text message to McIntosh

Can't he get off his butt and send his own damn profane text message?

[LudwigPastorius]

7. No question he's a lazy son of a bitch, but in this case, he probably just can't do it himself.

Remember back when he was trying? 'covfefe' anyone?

[DBoon]

13. Trump can't spell 4 letter words

[lonely bird]

8. Ah, my state...

The shitshow just keeps getting worse.

[IronLionZion]

12. Eric Clapton's song is well known but Jackson Browne wrote this.

You take Sally and I'll take Sue
There ain't no difference between the two
Cocaine, running all 'round my brain
Headin' down Scott, turnin' up Main
Looking for that girl who sells cocaine
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain
Mmmm momma come here quick,
That old Cocaine 'bout to make me sick
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain
Late last night about a quarter past four
Ladanyi come knockin' down my hotel room door
Where's the cocaine
It's runnin' all 'round my brain
I was talking to my doctor down at the hospital
He said, "Son, it says here you're twenty-seven,
But that's impossible
Cocaine you look like you could be forty-five"
Now I'm losing touch with reality and I'm almost out of blow
It's such a fine line I hate to see it go
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain

15. Browne's cover and arrangement is excellent. I love it.

Here is the original, written and performed by Reverend Gary Davis:

I never liked that Clapton song.



ADD: Upon more research Reverend Gary's version is an arrangement of "Cocaine Blues" he claimed he learned from Porter Irving!

17. I think I may have known it was a cover forty years ago but I have somehow forgotten.

Thanks for your comment.

America is grateful you are turning your fear and hate against each other, where it belongs.
