Most interesting.

December 31, 2019

Hah! Joe Scarborough, 'eh?

All these purported “reformed” or “recovering” ex-republi-CONS. All so seriously and solemnly editorializing about the awful trump monster. Tsk-tsking their way through all these high-minded condemnations of what a threat to the future of our democracy he is.

You were all on your knees worshipping ronald reagan as some new Messiah bringing about their long-cherished wet dreams of unfettered anarchy capitalism. The “nobody tells ME what to do” crowd.

I say fuck them all with a dirty barbecue stick. They brought this on. Back then when it began, when the Ronnie seeds were planted and all the CONservatives were there shouting hosannas about the giant unregulated free-for-all of their most earnest dreams...

Well THIS is what that leads to. THIS, NOW, is what you get if you let this deadly weed take over the garden while nursing secret yearnings of unrestricted taping and pillaging - that you hunger for even while you know it’s absolutely fucking-fro-dead wrong.

Go back and find the backdrop for what I think was the McCain/Palin nominating convention: “YOU BUILT IT.” Yes, republi-CONS. Indeed you did. All that shitty karma you built up following the path of greed, heartlessness, cruelty, and intolerance for anybody who doesn’t look like you is now coming to full flower. That path St. Ronnie built that you couldn’t wait to follow and build upon led directly, and inevitably, HERE.

To THIS.

NOW.

So, Joe Scarborough, you and all your short-sighted, mercenary little pals and co-conspirators can take your hand-wringing and “woe is us/how did we possibly get here?” crap and kindly go fuck yourselves.

Let's hope it does.

Excellent!

I'd worry that doing so could be an automatic death sentence

for the Democratic President who has a GOP VP. Just look at the wackos who love trump, and the same bunch that likely loves guns too and an overblown sense that aggrieved entitlement. What’s to stop some nutcase from deciding that he (probably male and almost certainly white) could easily have another GOPer in the Oval Office again?

Nope! There’s reaching across the aisle, and there’s wearing a big sandwich board that says “I’m an idiot. Kick me!”

YAY!!!!!!!!!

Thank God for them!

We need that voting bloc. Most encouraging to hear that they’re fired up. That’s what we need, who we need, and how - and how much - we need them.

This is what makes me think Joe Biden may be our best bet.

Glad you shared it here. Thanks!

It’s something we all need these days.

Great, LakeArenal! Thank you for doing that!

Sounds wonderful down there. We have a friend who’s made several trips to Costa Rica. She’s loved it every time.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
