My God..Joe Walsh Going after Trump?.. Supporting Omar& TLaib

[busterbrown]

Now I've seen everything.. One of the worst of the worst Republican lawmakers ever.. fucking ever! and yet today he's on Chris Mathew's show slamming Trump..

Unbelievable.. I just can't believe it.. Can you guys?

Yep and I realize its all about the money.. Perhaps seeking a comeback?
The new compassionate Joe Walsh?

Joe Fucking Walsh..

[wasupaloopa]

1. Maybe he can lead a revolt against trump. I think if a lot of repubs banded together in an effort

dump trump for 2020 it would succeed.

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Well, he's getting publicity this way.

But did that deadbeat dad schlub ever pay his wife all that money he owed her?

[elleng]

3. He has changed many of his attitudes, in recent years,

and it should be welcomed.

[busterbrown]

4. It's hard to reconcile...that he's changed.

Because he was one of the worst ever.... But I agree if he's for real..I'll extend my hand.

[elleng]

5. Thanks.

[GoCubsGo]

7. Yeah, I think he's had some sort of ephiphany or something.

Either that, or we're deeper down the rabbit hole than I ever thought. It's so bizarre to find myself on the same side as the likes of him, Dumbya, Rick Wilson, Bill Kristol... It's horrific to realize how far we've fallen.

[elleng]

8. WE haven't fallen, THEY have changed their attitudes.

I have no problem recognizing that.

[GoCubsGo]

10. Some of it is "attitude change."

Some of it is just plain, old "Trump is so disgusting and awful that even those monsters are horrified by him." I do agree that Walsh has had a bit of an attitude change, however. I'm willing to recognize it, and I hope it's not just a temporary thing.

[Volaris]

13. The only thing that bothers them is how public trump is about how much a Republican he really is.

WAIT till we elect the next democratic president...the likes of bill Kristol will be right back to bitching about deficits, screaming about Obamacare and Taxes, and (much more quietly) courting nazis and kicking money to the NRA and Chamber of Commerce.

16. +1,000 nt

[JI7]

25. Kristol was never a pro NRA type. Neocons were never that conservative on domestic issues and most

issues. they were about foreign policy and regime change and spreading democracy and that ideology.

[malaise]

6. What the Con did here is unprecedented

This alone is grounds for impeachment. He told a foreign power to ban two elected members of the House of Representatives.
Lock him the fuck up.

[elleng]

9. Yes

[abqtommy]

11. A Terry Pratchett meme might work here:

"Can a leopard change its shorts?" I think the answer to that is a negative!

[Poiuyt]

12. Joe Walsh

[SergeStorms]

20. That was my immediate thought as well.

The James Gang! Loved them when I was young. Joe was always one of my favorite guitarists. Then Joe's slow decline into addiction and alcoholism. I'm glad he got clean and sobered up for The Eagles.

[Progressive Jones]

28. Wrong Joe Walsh. The guy pictured here is the COOL Joe Walsh. nt

[Poiuyt]

30. .

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Walsh is a one trick pony

He still boasts of his conservatism, and he needs to elucidate that. So far all he does is bash Trump, telling the left of the country what they want to hear to draw them into his world. That's how Russia played the electorate in 2016 - something you could agree with, then smack Hillary a hard one. Soon you're agreeing with them.

I'd be very very very wary of Joe Walsh.

[BlueIdaho]

15. The enemy of my enemy

Is not my friend.

[calimary]

17. Indeed! How 'bout that, 'eh?

Whooda thunkit?

Looks like trump has stunk up the joint too foul even for this guy.

[busterbrown]

18. Follow the Money..

Thats what I'm getting. A new career filled with riches and pretty women

[NewJeffCT]

19. Walsh has been strongly anti-Trump

for a while now. While I don't agree with his politics at all, I do think he's honestly against Trump (in between bashing Trump, he promotes gun rights like he's on the board of the NRA)

[CTyankee]

27. Was he the "You lie!" guy?

[Progressive Jones]

29. No. He was a one term GOP rep from Chicago's Northwest suburbs. nt

[Demovictory9]

21. Walsh has been hammering trump

[summer_in_TX]

22. A good sign that the change is more than just self interested

I've been following Walsh on Twitter for awhile now. He's been very forthright about Trump's unfitness for office. But recently he's been doing some soul-searching and confessing behaviors of his while Obama was president that contributed to the rise of Trump and calling out the extreme partisanship he was a part of for such a long time.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. fuck him, and the russians he rode in on, with a fresh pineapple

Blue tsunami -- wash out all the stink of GOPerism.

[cannabis_flower]

24. The pineapple reminds me..

Of the scene in Little Nickie where the devil (Harvey Keitel) shoves the pineapple up Hitler in a French maid's costumer's ass. Is that what you were thinking of?

[JI7]

26. Just so people know, Joe Walsh is the deadbeat dad but he is NOT the "you lie" guy at the SOTU

with OBama.

i doubt he has changed much. not everyone is wrong on every issue all the time .

just like Justin Amash has not changed. he is still a libertarian . but he just refuses to ignore the obvious corruption of Trump.

one can still be a conservtive and acknowledge and reject the fucked up thing that is Trump.
