MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski personifies the politically deranged left wing

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski personifies the politically deranged left wing

Democrat strategist James Carville recently said that his party has “too many preachy women.”  That opinion must have entered his mind while watching MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski.  She has become the personification of the hysterical left – a very preachy woman.

On a recent show, Mrs. Scarborough was literally pleading with guests to tell how Vice President Harris can appeal to Republicans currently leaning to President Trump.  She went on an attack on half of the people in America who support Trump.

“Who are these people?”, she wondered.  In a tone of desperation, she declared “there is something wrong with those people.”  Directing her condemnation directly to those she demonized, Brzezinski said “you are lying to yourselves” …  “you will ruin the country” …  and it will be “on YOU.”  So much for respecting the opinions of others … bringing us together … exercising civility in our political discourse. (Methinks Brzezinski may be better described as a “scolding woman.” But I digress.)

While among the more extreme in hysterical panic attacks, Brzezinski is not alone.  The temperature of the left wing media has been increasing.  The anti-Republican bias is more pronounced.  The campaign rhetoric is hotter.   The partisan actions of the left-leaning media are more oblivious.

In violation of basic journalism, CBS allowed Harris to change her answer after she flubbed a question.  One-time shock jock Howard Stern openly confessed his biased purpose.  He told Harris that he was nervous over the interview with her because “I wanted to make you look good.”  He even criticized Saturday Night Live for poking fun at Harris.  (I guess if a guy garners fame by tossing bologna slices on the bare butts of porn performers, we can expect any level of reportorial obscenity.  But I digress again.)

It is possible – though not assured — that Trump could win the election.  By some measure, he may have the odds in his favor.  The very thought that the American voters might return Trump to the White House has Democrats and the left deranged – especially those on the radical left.

This comes as no surprise.  In several past commentaries I suggested that as the election got closer, the language of the left would become more hostile and extreme. Although it has become more vicious and mendacious than I imagined, it is not likely to subside in the next few weeks.  It is hard to imagine that the rhetoric from the left could get worse, but it seems like anything is possible.

The problem Democrats and the left-wing media are having is that they are out of arrows in their quivers.  They have already said – repeatedly – everything they are saying now.  They are repeating the same old narratives and talking points that they have been saying for months. Judging from the polls, they have not worked – and are not working — and will not work anymore than they had originally. 

So, what do they have left?  Ramp up the ugly language … the hyperbole … the fear mongering.  And I expect that the hyperbolic fear mongering will get even worse over the course of the next few weeks.

The Mika Brzezinskis of the world have lost their collective minds … their dignity … and their integrity over an uncontrolled fear that Trump might — just might — win the election.  One can only wonder how crazed these people will get if he does win.

So, there ‘tis.

    Gee, the author seems against free speech and a little braggadocio.

    How weird.

    Can repeating the same old narrative be bad if it’s true? Or does the author live off a new fabrication, new lies, everyday from their master? I mean they have the cult of personality, we told our old guy to get off the stage.

    She’s even worse after a low-carb, vegan, meal and a good run. How Joe sneaks in the Big Macs is a mystery.

    Good for her. We know how crazy Republicans get over this. Can you say 1.6.2021? Can you say Oregon, can you say Washington, New Mexico, and Michigan? We remember. I went to drop off my ballots on Sunday. The roads and parking lots near the courthouse were block off, a large black SUV with Trump signs menacingly sitting just outside the cones. Windows tinted black. Near the courthouse steps looked like Trump sales booths set up, Trumpers milling about. I had to weave my way through to get to the ballot drop off box.

    All for intimidation, and it was intimidating. I had to drive round the court house twice to locate the box, had to locate it by using binoculars to spot it from 200 yards away, just outside the cones. And then I had to park a block away and walk it in. Ridiculous. I guess next election, I will be packing for my trip to the ballot box through the Trumplicant gauntlet known as the voting place. This ain’t America.

    Mika has always sounded like a semi-retard — which is why Joe often cuts her stuttering syllables off mistream. I’ve been tuning in to Morning Joe for years because my daughter is a devoted follower, a Libertarian, she claims. Add in insane Joy Reid and defamed lawyer Rev. Al (of Tawana Brawley infamy) and you got yourself a trifecta of dunces.

    Felon Frank Stranger danger – Who is lying? It appears to be you plus you are making things up and you are trying to put words in other people’s mouths, as usual. Where do you get off telling Larry he is against free speech? HE keeps you on here, right? You with your lies, your pure unadulterated hate and filth toward everyone except for the Deep State including yourself. You are part of the Deep State in the Satanist cult of the underworld. Good for you about 1.6.2021. You can’t read or you would now know that Trump was exonerated from the so-called insurrection that Nancy Pelosi’s daughter even said was not an insurrection. The proof of J6 now is the Democrats are the guilty ones of J6. Pelosi, Shumer, ANTIFA, BLM, FBI and DC police were all in on that crime. It is out in the public now about that. Stop bringing up old incorrect news, but that’s what you do, isn’t it? You prove more and more every day you are Deep State! You, AC and Gutterman. You are a spy, too. Binoculars? Your new crazy name you call yourself is also wrong. WE are the danger – to you. What a heartbreak and shock you have coming in a tad less than two-weeks. I can’t wait to see what you do. Probably have a heart attack? I hope not. I don’t wish that on anyone, but I think you do! Don’t you, Mr. Deep Stare Satan!

    The problems with Democrat’s are Not this Crazy Preaching Nut Case of a woman.
    It is the Low standards Democrat’s set with whom they wish to follow.
    Want to be Political losers’ like George Looney and Robert De NO NO say something
    as if they know anything about politics?
    They are just Money making Sheeple for the Democrat machine and not smart enough to see through
    the lies of the party?
    Yea, Biden is the man say the ACTORS!
    Debate happens, What the F was that!
    More fools used by the party and the money the raised going to

    Sometimes it is hard to see the Clouds with all that White Stuff in the Sky!

    Sending your dislike (hate) no further than the confines of PBP conservatism. Your nemesis on Morning Joe has made the big time with Joe S. She is heard and you are not. Fame’s spotlight shines on that program. While a PBP headliner is your lot.
    Why aren’t you thankful? PBP has allowed you your voice when bigger media venues have not. It matters little to nothing about where you have been or what you have done in your lifetime. What means anything at the present time is the person the total of all those experiences made in you.
    You can think it was lemonade that you squeezed from the lemons you received. But. the lemonade was not sweet enough in your opinion. So, even when someone else said the lemonade was good. You
    rejected the opinion of others because in judgement you called it rubbish.
    In mathematics there can be only a single exact result. The result can be endlessly debated, but there is that one result and it’s a proven fact. Political philosophy can be debated pro and con this way and that way as suits you best. Still, often the heated debate obscures the essence that defined the context in which facts have been set.
    Facts added sum to equal truth.
    Opinions without factual truth are politically biased, prejudice based, and incapable of objectivity. A circular irrational argument is the one about which came first, perspective (world view ) or personal opinion. The two concepts together form a closed loop. This loop is a psychological construct which is colored by inputs. True facts assembled like puzzle pieces into the complete picture is context. Context is colored in hues close to white. A darker shade means an absence of factual truth.
    Intelligent individuals understand that nothing in life is perfect. This is very apparent in the case of politics. Given a situation in which one individual sits alone in a space large enough to accommodate 100 individuals randomly selected. Is politics apparent where one is alone. ( Not Possible) When that person is joined by one other person does politics , then, enter that space. ( Probable) When one by one individuals join with those already there is politics appearing as the space fills. (Natural Invention)
    Will the natural invention called politics be a tool or a weapon over time and the space fills until the space is nearing capacity 100.
    Interesting human potential problem experiment, a test for questions related to politics and possible ways it is being used as a creative tool and/or it’s being weaponized for manipulative purposes
    In the first use being a tool for education and understanding the dynamics politics generates.
    The second happens on a daily basis and is in use as a weapon against others to further the culture wars that have raged in the greater part of the 21ST century.
    Presenting truth and facts that prove truth has Justice as a measure and a rule. Politics has the bearing of injustice and cruelty. It’s a tool which as been remade into tugs most destructive weapon.
    And, politics at this time is a weapon used against fellow Americans by fellow Americans without remorse.

      AC … You are right. Joe Scarborough gets a much bigger audience than I do …. and I get a much bigger audience than you do. My writings reach hundreds of thousands of people — not just PBP. I have two books on Amazon. I periodically appear on various radio and television shows. So what is your point? Are you just trying to prove you own inconsequentialness? If so, you are doing a good job. It is obvious that you see yourself as some wise old sage — an armchair philosopher, but frankly your writing is awful. For example:

      “Given a situation in which one individual sits alone in a space large enough to accommodate 100 individuals randomly selected. Is politics apparent where one is alone. ( Not Possible) When that person is joined by one other person does politics , then, enter that space. ( Probable) When one by one individuals join with those already there is politics appearing as the space fills. (Natural Invention)
      Will the natural invention called politics be a tool or a weapon over time and the space fills until the space is nearing capacity 100.”

      That makes no sense at all Gibberish. You should consider yourself before you go on with your baseless and witless attacks on me or anyone else.

    Larry, thanks for your comments. As usual, I’ll take it under advisement considering the source. Also. congrats for your books on Amazon and a following outside PBP.to a wider audience. You can’t be getting much reinforcement if PBP is your only outlet.
    Amazon taking you on must be real feather in your cap. Who knows the number of copies you’ll sell.
    What was your books first printing number?
    About the “gibberish” judgement, is that more or less on the order of “word salad “. The “word salad “ charge is not unique and first coined by you. I’ve caught the same description in other places. It gratifying knowing I am not the only salad chef with words.
    Too bad your intellectual nutrition is limited to bare scrapes on the right side only on the grand banquet table that is true American Democracy, Ben Franklin had people like you when he warned “if you can keep it”. Democracy as the founders conceived it was not seen before in history. It is serious experiment in governance. Out generation was entrusted with the heavy responsibility that goes with keeping it strong and healthy. Historians are concerned about the American Experiment in Democracy fearing that the current political division and general chaos disrupting discipline usually associated with organized civil society with law and order being prominent.
    The US Constitution has lost its historical centrality as Trump keeps his misinformation campaign made public in rally long winded speeches. Now Trump’s rallies are gibberish on steroids and disinformation from preposterous lies. Haitians eating neighbors pets and gangs of immigrants overtaking Aurora, CO are tall tail whoppers that Trump continues repeating. Amazingly his loyalist believe every word that tumbles from his addled brain and on out his mouth as he leaps to more outlandish fabrications that contradict his previous statements.
    By Trump’s efforts and his closest strategists conspiracies our democracy as we knew it is in the greatest jeopardy since its creation In Philadelphia in the 18th Century..
    Trump is not so politically savvy that he alone could plan a takeover this audacious. American politics has been unsettled since President Reagan. Trump came on the scene at a most propitious time when people are weak from loss of conviction and low resolve. The Republican Party appeared most vulnerable to takeover by Trump with his improvised confidence scheme.
    You will think Trump is not perfect, but he is GOP certified so he is your horse in this particular race.
    That bet is as sure as putting confidence in the fact that the HMS Titanic was unsinkable it would make NYC in record time. History makes that bet a looser. All involved with the Titanic’s engineering and build wanted no part of the consequences after the disaster.
    Those responsible for democracy’s experiment failure on their watch can expect an indictment for treason. Another 200 years and the USA will be mere chapter in world history. Trump will be tagged for the atrocity like Benedict Arnold turncoat in the American Revolution.
    Hopefully our democracy will survive a second attack by Trump like 2020 and Jan 6, 2021. There’s always enough intelligent people who possess moral-ethical integrity in the fourth column. That is the final bastion of strength remaining with the implosion of the three original branches.
    Think what you can do for your country and not ….

    You got it Larry. Ultimately it’s you not me being witless and your publishing gibberish. A vote for Trump defines witlessness. If Trump does manage
    a win, then the election truly was stolen. He many times over said if he did win it would be stolen.
    When you’re on the wrong side of history don’t blame anyone but yourself for your negative contributions. Ain’t free speech great. It’s your bread and butter.
    He who chuckles last chuckles longest. I have a common sense intelligent type of humor. Your cheer is hardly present except when you think your bullying hurt your supposed opposition. Your bravado fueled narcissism is expected if unfounded, as is Trump’s same narcissism sick.
    Still, you bear watching for monitoring purposes in the name of national security.

      AC … Putting aside you arrogant and stupid insults and psychoanalysis as being nothing more than political claptrap, I was amused by this statement of yours, “Still, you bear watching for monitoring purposes in the name of national security.” WOW!!!!! You are monitoring me as a threat to national security. So typical of the authoritarian left. Opinions contrary to your own are a threat to security. Need to be monitored At some point, I assume you will turn me over to the woke political correctness police — perhaps to be sent to a re-education camp. LOL You are one over wrought pompous arrogant nutcase. You say free speech is my bread and butter. You are right. I respect your right even if you think my free speech is a threat to national security. Also … If my reach is so limited — as you claim — how big of threat can I be? LMAO

    The election cannot come soon enough. Two changes to the election process need doing.
    One, revise how the EC operates making it tamper free.
    Two. reduce campaign period starting 3 months before each party’s nominating convention.
    Its insanity needs containing. This season’s length increased difficulties with national security.
