David Frum, LOL

[DemocratSinceBirth]

If you get a chance to see a clip of his appearance with Ari Melber, do so.

"...Make sure he (Trump) has his blankie, his pacifier, and his shiny toy,

and - just maybe - he won't do anything impeachable or start a nuclear war."

[HipChick]

1. I think everyone gasped....

after his last sentence...

[Kirk Lover]

12. I thought I heard snickers....

[smirkymonkey]

2. Context?

Or link?

3. "Make sure he has his blankie, his pacifier, and his shiny toy,

and - just maybe - he won't do anything impeachable or start a nuclear war."

Frum just defined the Trump administration.

4. Your recall is perfect. How do you do it ?

[sandensea]

6. It just struck me, that's all.

The second I heard Frum say it, I knew he had just captured the moment we're all living in.

A lot like Jerry Ford's "our long national nightmare is over,' or James Carville's "it's the economy, stupid."

8. I know he was a neo-con but he's an extraordinarily bright man.

If you get to read his work at The Atlantic do so.

9. Thanks for the rec.

And yes: whatever else could be said about Dubya, he knew talent when he saw it.

18. His Twitter feed is good, too. nt

[NightWatcher]

5. They need an open bar in the MSNBC green room

[Gabi Hayes]

7. And Ari says something very close to this:

“From his blankie to TV time to bed!”

[wildeyed]

10. Frum has no F*s left to give.

[Honeycombe8]

11. He's already done something impeachable, as far as I'm concerned. nt

[Danascot]

13. Anything impeachable?

That ship has sailed!

[saidsimplesimon]

16. Yes

Do we have the will to trim the sails?

[saidsimplesimon]

17. Someone has

decided I need to shut up and back off. Sorry admins. ban me IF I have broken the rules.

[Hekate]

14. For a mensch, Frum can be brutal when it comes to Trump. That was brutal.

[saidsimplesimon]

15. Thank you, Ari

a loony proof of an American decline? We, without the noise, are a peaceful, compassionate nation of values. WE are not going to let rumpublicans divide US.
