If Joe Scarborough had been around to cover the Hindenburg disaster, he might well have called it a business "godsend" for the airship industry [which promptly went extinct].
We say so in applying the same reasoning that Scarborough used on today's Morning Joe. Scarborough twice claimed that the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden's influence-peddling gig with the Ukranian gas company Burisma has been a political "godsend" for his father Joe.
Scarborough's theory was that the fact that President Trump supposedly pushed the Ukrainians to investigate the Biden-Burisma connection is proof of how much Trump feared Joe Biden as an opponent, thus elevating Joe's stature in the eyes of his fellow Democrats.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Rick Tyler, my gosh, we were having a debate at the beginning of this impeachment inquiry as to whether Hunter Biden was going to hurt Joe Biden, whether all the attacks were gonna hurt. My God, no! It’s been a godsend for Joe Biden! Because now every Democrat said, hey, wait a second, why is Donald Trump so freaked out about running against Joe Biden that he will risk impeachment? That he will hold up $400 million in military aid for a democratic ally being invaded by Russia? Why would he do that just to get back at Joe Biden?
So a lot of times, you getting attacked from others, whether it’s other people in the Democratic field, or whether it’s the President of the United States, that’s actually a political godsend. It has been for Joe Biden over the course of the past month, and last night I think it was for Mayor Pete.
Maybe Scarborough hasn't noticed, but Donald Trump has a history of going after all his potential opponents. Think back to the 2016 primary, when Trump had an unflattering nickname or line of criticism for virtually all his many Republican competitors. Not to mention "Crooked Hillary."
And in this cycle, we've of course frequently heard President Trump refer to Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas." Dub Bloomberg "Little Michael." Label Sanders "Crazy Bernie." Zing Cory Booker over his "Spartacus" claim. The list goes on.
So in no way has Trump singled out Biden. The President's an equal-opportunity razzer. And if Biden should become the Democrat candidate, much more attention will undoubtedly be paid to Hunter's influence-peddling in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere. Just how much did he rake in? And what was the degree of daddy Joe's involvement? Does Scarborough sincerely think Joe would be viewing his wayward son as a political "godsend" then?
Note that Scarborough uttered his "godsend" line in the context of claiming that Pete Buttigieg actually benefited from the various attacks on him launched by other candidates in last night's Democrat debate. Notable among them was the tit for tat between Elizabeth Warren and Buttigieg, in which she attacked him for raising money in a high-end donor event in a wine cave where $900 bottles of wine were served. Buttigieg riposted that Warren shouldn't hold him to "purity tests" that she herself couldn't pass.
He is trying to act like Ukraine investigation benefits Biden in the same way the fake impeachment benefits trump
Right a son diddling women and having kids out of wedlock is a godsend for Dad.
In Joe Scarborough’s world.
A total blackout by the Democrat media.
Joe really is this STUPID! Biden will be like a punching bag in the fall campaign if he’s nominated. The president will be landing one big time haymaker on Slow Joe day after day after day after...
dallas the pregnant dc stripper has a heart of gold! Maybe joe has been down to the ‘gentlmans club’..
I don’t think that Hunter has killed an intern yet
Notre to mention his corrupt trail of cash around the world.
Scarborough is a criminal trying to cover for other criminal.
Joey Joey pudding and pie
Pushed the girl and made her die
“”Morning Joe has an average daily audience of 1.1 million, per this article, and is the most-watched morning show by political and journalism elites. I think it’s worthwhile keeping track of what they’re up to.””
This is from a dup of the thread, I guess. “political and journalism elites” - only in their own minds!
I thought The View was the most popular show in the morning among those of limited intelligence. They aren’t very fussy about what they watch, are they? But then - without IQ, how could they be?
Someone posted on facebook that the biden’s telephone transcripts to Ukraine should be release,,,,would love to see them
Would an airship floated with Helium work?
I know Hydrogen would be a hell of a lot (more than twice) as buoyant but ok- so helium lifts half as much...
I would love to cross the ocean in an airship
All we’ll hear (or see rather) is Biden: “Did you bring the money?”
Isn't today the deadline for Humper to provide the court an accounting of his income for the past 5 years?
I think it will be very interesting to compare this with what he told the IRS and with what the various sources of income will claim. The chances that a philandering alcoholic coke addict reported all of his income to the IRS are nil.
This is going to blow up in the Dems faces very shortly.

dem alinsky projection
Biden will be forced to quit once he starts having to answer real hardball questions about the bribe and not softball propaganda spin questions from the leftist press. Do they think Trump is not going to hang this around his neck like he did to Hillary wrt her email server?
I can hear the chants of “Lock him up” already.
