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! Its 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 its other people in the Democratic field, or whether its the President of the United States, thats 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.
Joe needed to come for air sooner than he did and now he has brain damage.
What Really Happened To Joe Scarboroughs Dead Intern?
"A 28-year-old office worker for U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough was found dead Friday in the congressmans district office."
Joey, I hate to interrupt your wet dream . . . but it is a dream. . . .
When you fall down the rabbit hole you enter upside down world.
“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.”
Freaka of Mika and Freaka speaks with forked tongue and damaged brain.
ScarboroughIdiot, given the entirety of the Trump matter over 2.5 plus years, you have been right/correct how many times? Yeah, I thought so, okie dokie......../s
Relative to Scarborough, in my wasted youth I “aint never had smoke” that would make me think this way along with bizarre political analysis.
Relative to what Joe may be smoking I would have been afraid of it in 1969 when I was insane. I no longer partake of smoke. Just a moderation of Jim Beam today.
Omg jow is it possible for a person to be that dumb? One question low iq joneeds to be asked. How has investigated this matter?
At least hunter not a homo
HEY!
Don't go around making statements that might not be true....
He might be.
Never give crack heads the benefit of the doubt
Joe Scarborough has been wrong about everything so this is good news for Trump.
Interesting. I wonder what the difference is in lifting power?
I know Hydrogen has one proton, and helium as 2- but helium also has 2 neutrons - so its 4 times as heavy as Hydrogen (i think)
The atoms are four times as heavy, but remember hydrogen will also pair up as an H2 molecule in gas, so it’s really only twice as heavy.
According to wikipedia there isn’t much difference in buoyancy in our atmosphere:
“Although helium is twice as heavy as (diatomic) hydrogen, they are both so much lighter than air that this difference only results in hydrogen having 8% more buoyancy than helium.”
geez... for 8% you would think they would have opted for safety
hydrogen is dangerous stuff
Well, the buoyancy isn’t the only reason they went with hydrogen. It’s also a lot easier to obtain hydrogen gas, as it is a lot more common on planet earth than helium. Helium is a noble gas, so it doesn’t combine readily with other elements, and being lighter than air, it is constantly escaping to space.
Hydrogen, on the other hand, is a very reactive element, so it is locked up in heavier molecules and doesn’t escape. So we have literal oceans of hydrogen available to us, versus the limited and dwindling supply of helium.
Yeah I was thinking about that afterwards. We can MAKE hydrogen from water with very little effort.
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].
