“Trump has somehow combined the sensibility of Joe McCarthy with an ideology that would get him investigated by the McCarthy committee.”

— GOP strategist Stuart Stevens, on Twitter.

1. Bwahahahaha!

2. Well said...

and the ability to have the media eating out of his hand.

[JHB]

8. It's not his hand...

...it's the much bigger part of his anatomy, the one he pulls his "facts" from.

[Mc Mike]

3. It's extra funny because Roy Cohn mentored tRump.

[applegrove]

4. That is so true.

6. I love how the crowd that wails, to this day, about McCarthy being crucified for being right

about commie forces in our gov -- is the same crowd that backs putting the "guy who's openly in bed with the evil KGB commie strongman Russian dictator" in charge of our gov.

They're so flagrantly stupid that they don't know whether to pee or go blind. Having to share governmental control with them is like being conjoined twins with an aggressive deranged and delusional sibling. I don't know how Prez O. manages.

9. The phrase you're looking for is...

..."gets his marching orders straight from the Kremlin."

12. Pithy, much pithier than my phrasing, J. Nt.

[JHB]

13. And much sweeter, because it's THEIRS...

Turnabout is fair play.

14. From the witch hunt times? Who said it?

I'm not getting any hits in a search.

15. It's an old talking point of the John Birch Society and their ilk...

...attributing everything that so much as looked funny to them to efforts by the Communists in Moscow to subvert and demoralize us so that they could take over. And by extension, everyone to their left was either a dupe or active agent of the Soviets.

I suppose there isn't all that much JBS literature from their heyday that's been digitized and made internet-searchable, but it exists.

[Mc Mike]

16. I didn't know that about them.

I have been paying attention to the birchers, though. It was very interesting to see how many times the Hunt family came up, in a slew of political books (from the '50's through the 2000's) that describe sleazebag rightwing republican political and social initiatives. Then all the sudden, no more "America's Team" ownership, and the Kochs took the point.

Funny to see the pro-nazi dead-ender republicans, represented by the birchers, embracing the guy who's in the bag for Putin. I recommend tRump's bircher contingent, people like Alex Jones, refrain from drinking any of the tRump vodka or tRump water, at the campaign events and headquarters. Because communist fluoridation.

5. priceless! . . . . .n/t

[ffr]

7. Ouch!

That's bad, coming from one of their own.

10. His whole campaign seems to me

like a sequel to the movie "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"

especially the foreign policy angle ... caricatures of foreign leaders

[TeamPooka]

11. ooh I wish I'd thought of that one.
