Mike Barnicle was conducting a humdrum conversation about the shutdown with Dem Sen. Sherrod Brown on Wednesday's Morning Joe when—out of the blue—Barnicle dropped this bombshell:

"Let me ask you: do you think that Donald J. Trump presents a clear and present danger to our democracy?"

Barnicle was fired for writing fake stories and plagiarism in the Boston Globe.

President Trump is a clear and present danger to their democracy, I.e., mod rule. Over 70,000 sealed Federal Court documents!

Dick Smothers: ...this young woman came in with her unique costume and everyone stopped and stared at her because of her costume. She was tattooed as a map of the world ... and it was at that point that Tommy and myself decided to write a song about her. And, I don't like the song, really ...

Tommy Smothers: My brother wrote the song entirely on his own.

Dick Smothers: ... and we've been singing it ...

Tommy Smothers: He deserves the credit for this song. He wrote this song ...

Dick Smothers: Wait a minute. I'm telling the story, and we both wrote the song.

Tommy Smothers: No, my brother wrote all of the lyrics and everything. I just worked a little bit on the words.

And this is precisely why, kids wearing MAGA hats are being attacked. How completely irresponsible it is for this clown to make such an assertion at this time.

He plagiarized as well. Copied sentences word for word from George Carlin’s book “Brain Droppings”. Barnacle claimed he never read the book it was just a coincidence. Then video footage of him recommending George Carlin’s book on the show “Chronicle” month’s before were shown. Which also makes him a liar.

Trump is a clear and present danger to the “Deep State” and its corruption. This includes the mainstream media and some of the ‘conservative’ media, the entertainment industry, and much of academia. They have also invaded Corporate headquarters of some of America’s and the world’s biggest companies and conglomerates. Yes, people like Barnicle should be quite concerned.

I think Barnicle was gigged for making up stories out of whole cloth. He got fired from the Boston Globe over it. Evidently he’s been recycled through the cable news media. The guy is an idealogue, and a lazy one at that.

When Barnicle finally realizes the wording in the Pledge of Allegiance, I may listen to him. I doubt it.

We pledge to a Republic.

Yeah, well, if we actually lived in a democracy then Mr. Barnicle (on our collective ass) MIGHT have a point.

Meanwhile, he is a clear and present danger to polite political discourse in this country.

I had no idea Barnicle was still alive, frankly.

Did he write that question himself or did he steal it from someone like usual?

President Trump is a clear and present danger to DC swamp creatures.

As for “our democracy”, well, some of us here remember saying every morning in grade school: “...and to the republic for which it stands.”

Anyone that calls America a democracy is, for me, instantly ID’d as enemy.

Thanks-—I was not aware of that——I despise the guy so I should keep up better.
