HERE’S A PICTURE WORTH 100,000 WORDS (from The New York Times)
“A lot of interest in this story about Psycho Joe Scarborough. So a young marathon runner just happened to faint in his office, hit her head on his desk, & die? I would think there is a lot more to this story than that? An affair? What about the so-called investigator? Read story!”
—Donald Trump tweet over the weekend about a debunked theory surrounding the 2001 death of an aide to then-U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough. [The only “interest” in this 19-year-old story appears to be in the disturbed head of one DJT.]
“Completely unfounded conspiracy. Just stop. Stop spreading it, stop creating paranoia. It will destroy us.”
—Tweet by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Illinois) in response to Trump’s calloused attempt to ignite some kind of conspiracy theory against one of his critics. [Experts have warned of a potential shortage of conspiracy theories for each of Trump’s growing number of critics.]
Louisiana Voice 
1. Sick, childish, destructive, misleading, evil.
2. True
Note to Republicans: It seems from observing Trump’s childish, spoiled prior behavior….the more you ask him to stop doing something….the biglier and best in the world (people are telling him this) Trump will proceed to go lower and deeper with his conspiracy theories. It seems that due to Trump’s mental dysfunction (Malignant Narcissim), he MUST create his own world where he is perfect….many people have called and told him so…now, for the BIG question to Republicans….is this really a leader that you will follow over his own selfishly created cliff? Just wondering…
Unfortunately Ms. Herring, asking a question of a Republican is no longer a simple matter. The Republican Party as we used to know it no longer exists. It has been taken over by the right wing extremists and the rest of it demolished by Trump. So many notable people have left the party, among them being Joe Scarborough, George Will, Steve Schmidt, Peter Wehner, Bill Kristol, and George Conway to name a few.
These days I suppose we should address the party members as Trumpers or Reactionaries. I have not read anything in LouisianaVoice that leads me to believe there are any traditional “Republican” readers in the old sense of the word.
Here are two articles by neo-conservative thinker Bill Kristol that explain why he left the Republican Party.

Earthmother – I have read these before except for the first one. It seems that “the more we know, the more we know” and the more we realize that we are caught in a nightmare challenge to our very democracy….which begs ALL of us to consider that we must use our power of voting…it is about all we have left. Thank you for your research!
Edith I guess you are going to follow you not black Joe. good luck.
Speaking for myself, I am voting for whoever is Trump’s major opponent and I suspect it will be Joe Biden. I would prefer a stronger Democratic candidate, but it doesn’t appear we will get one. In any case, I cannot imagine a worse president than this one, so I am voting against him and hope to have reason to feel good about the person I do vote for. Even if I am not particularly enthused by the winner, as long as it is not Trump, I will experience great relief – things will have to get better under a new President who knows what the U. S. President is supposed to do and what kind of country the UNITED States of America should be.
Patrick Henry in his last public speech, given in March 1799, said, “Let us trust God, and our better judgment to set us right hereafter. United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs.”
And Jim, I suppose you’re going to follow lying, cheating, bankrupt, Putin-puppet, oatmeal-for-brains Trump. Well, we’ve seen what 4 years of that has given us, so yeah, Biden it is.
