> [@Bayard](#): > > I recall Zbignew being on Morning Joe once some years ago. Scarborough made some comment, or maybe asked a question, and Zbignew’s response was (from my memory) “You’re so ignorant it’s embarrassing to talk to you.” I don’t think ol’ Zbignew was a fan of his daughter’s beau. Here it is. My memory was close. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0ioq6Qgpjrc](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0ioq6Qgpjrc) But I misspelled Zbigniew’s name. ---

> [@bobot](#): > > I’m not trying to be argumentative here, but that’s a list of Republican politicians with asses to protect, not Trump supporters. I’m talking about Trump voters. Those politicians will support him as long as he is pushing an agenda that makes Republicans smile, even if they occasionally wag their fingers at him in public. True, but they have Republican constituents who could follow their lead. Those who would be swayed toward supporting the head twit because of this would have to be ones who had stopped supporting or are have at least been wavering and his base isn’t in the habit of doing either. 🙂 ---

I can picture an alternate reality, where Hilary Clinton eked out a narrow victory last November. In the time since then, losing candidate Trump has been fending off increasing stories of collusion between his staff and the Russians, and launched increasingly bizarre twitter rants about rigged elections and voter fraud. We the voting public would be looking at that sad spectacle, shaking our heads and saying “Whew! I can’t believe how close we came to electing that clown! Dodged a bullet, I guess!!” Nope. Hit square between the eyes. ---

Perhaps the era of duels was in response to one’s wife being denigrated by some idiot. Perhaps Joe should find a way to give Thrump a gloveslap. We know both parties are fully up and around at dawn. Let it be verbal sparring, if need be to overcome laws against evisceration and the like. Winner keeps their job, loser goes into retirement. ---

This morning’s tweets. Yes. Well. Traitor Trump is a pathetic excuse for a human being as well as a rotten president. And people wonder why I equate the average Republican with the average child molester. Fuck Trump and fuck Republicans. ---

We know both parties are fully up and around at dawn. Let it be verbal sparring, if need be to overcome laws against evisceration and the like. Winner keeps their job, loser goes into retirement. If we go that route, let’s hedge our bets, and have someone like Eminem do the sparring for Joe. Have him do it like a rap battle, complete with mic drops and everything. Otherwise, we run the risk of having someone who might not be willing - or able - to sink to Trump’s level of insults. ---

I guess the thing I don’t get (and maybe it’s already been discussed and I didn’t see it) is why the Mika tweet is suddenly the one that has pushed everyone over the edge. He’s been spouting hateful bile on Twitter for years and _now_ all of a sudden people are saying “Whoa… That’s over the line”? ---

He’s been spouting hateful bile on Twitter for years and _now_ all of a sudden people are saying “Whoa… That’s over the line”? That’s a good question. IMHO, it’s the combination of the viciousness of the attack, the “final straw” component, and the weird (and completely unsupported) bloody imagery. Trump has Issues. ---

He’s been spouting hateful bile on Twitter for years and _now_ all of a sudden people are saying “Whoa… That’s over the line”? I think we’ve been over the edge before, and as always, he pays no consequences for his behavior. Fortunately, as his popularity continues to seep away, the Republican agenda is mired in the muck along with him.
