The other day -- was it Tuesday? -- when Pres. Trump directed a twitter-outburst at four duly elected United States congresswomen, suggesting they leave the country, Chris Matthews said, "This is a bad day for the Republicans. A bad day. Bad Day at Black Rock."
(He kills me.)
On that episode of All in the Family referenced here yesterday, Cleavon Little and Demond Wilson turn that logic around: once they realize "what we found here!"
(the "genn - you - ine bigg - ott")
...they laugh, high-five, and then Little leans down and speaks encouragingly to Archie Bunker -- "Come on, say something else"...
[The title of that episode is, "Edith Writes a Song" -- it's on You Tube.]
Some commentators and audience-commenters marvel at this president's powers of manipulation. But then one Comment said, "Trump's ability to manipulate is not caused by something he has, but by something he lacks. It's not genius; it's being psychotic and lacking all morality."
On the night of the South Carolina rally where they were chanting "send her back" one reporter on Hardball listed traditional Republican priorities such as balanced budget, limited government, and family values -- and then noted that the Trump-supporting base appears to not care about those items and instead, are "only in it for the race hate," which was in the past only implied.
Yikes.
