Joe Scarborough's, Morning Joe's bloodbath

Joe Scarborough's show doesn't get much attention except when he says something outrageous. The thing is that Joe's getting more polished at getting attention by saying outrageous things as he gains experience. This past weekend, Joe gained lots of attention for his intentionally misleading rant about Donald Trump's bloodbath statement. Scarborough got that attention when Elon Musk, aka the world's smartest man, hit Joe where it hurts most -- in public.

Scarborough said that Trump "promised another 'bloodbath' if he loses again." That's when things went south for Scarborough. Elon Musk replied, saying "Jan 6 was not a 'bloodbath' by any definition and Trump was referring to job losses in the auto industry when he used that word. Your post is extremely misleading." Shortly thereafter, Scarborough deleted his bloodbath tweet.

Unfortunately for Scarborough, he just couldn't leave it alone. Come Monday morning, he still hadn’t dropped it. Next, he "questioned the logic of discussing macroeconomics in terms of "bloodbaths" and pointed out the repetition of the phrase "that's going to be the least of it," suggesting broader implications":

Notice what he says next. He said "These idiots on Twitter, these idiots on cable news, these idiots on Sunday shows..." Elon Musk knows a thing or 2 about the auto industry. He just builds the best electric vehicle on the market. It's difficult to call him an idiot. Besides, he's the world's smartest man. I'd say that Mr. Scarborough picked a fight he can't win. Scarborough wasn't the only less-than-average-Joe to jump hard-first into this fight. Joe Biden tweeted "It's clear this guy wants another January 6." It's apparent that Joe Biden can't read that well:

Scarborough's Rant
"I've never really heard people discuss macroeconomics, in terms of bloodbaths. But maybe, maybe so. But let's just say for argument's sake. But then he says, 'and that's going to be the least of it.' You think there's going to be a bloodbath in the auto industry, even if you take that argument at face value, which again, given the tone of the rest of the speech, "bloodbath"? I'm not so sure he's talking about the niceties of international trade there," he said.
He should've done his research:
"Let me tell you something. To China, if you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal,” he continued. "Those big, monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now, and you think you’re gonna get that, you’re gonna not hire Americans; and you’re gonna sell the cars to us — no. We’re gonna put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line. And you’re not gonna be able to sell those cars."

"If I get elected — now if I don’t get elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it. Its gonna be a bloodbath for the country, that’ll be the least of it. But they’re not gonna sell those cars, they’re building massive factories."

How you get Jan. 6 out of that rant is beyond comprehension. Think about it. Trump mentioned President Xi, the "monster car manufacturing plants" China is building in Mexico and 100% tariffs on Chinese-imported cars from Mexico. What else did Trump talk about?

While Scarborough was the only idiot (pun intended) to criticize We The People, he wasn't the only one to criticize Trump. The MSM should be nicknamed Conformist Central. Original thought is scorned within the MSM.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
