Breaking: From Ari Melber, MSNBC

Right-Wing Ballistic about Woman Presidential Candidate

As you know, I will shortly be Over and Out for two-and-a-half weeks, between travel to Germany and jet-lag for two 76-year-old travelers.

So, this is my final post until then.

Ari Melber, MSNBC, on tonight’s show hosted as Guests Maya Wiley (Professor, New School, Director of Milano School of Policy, Management and Environment)*, Donna Edwards (former Congresswoman), Lori Elaine Lightfoot (former Mayor, Chicago) and the scholar, Edna Greene Medford (Professor Emerita, Howard University).

Here is the link to the hour between Ari Melber and his guests:

There is so much that is worth watching with the distinguished Panel, not least the historic footage of Charlene Mitchell, Shirley Chisholm and Carol Moseley Braun.**

But for real comedy, look at the footage starting at circa 1 hour, 13 minutes and 36 seconds from the end of the MSNBC video. (Getting you to put your cursor in the right spot is a little tricky for two reasons: (1) The time runs in reverse — from the end in the Joy Reid Show (at point 0 Hours 0 Seconds) to the beginning with Nicole Wallace, with Ari Melber sandwiched in between. And, (2) Lots of commercials. More commercials than shows. Argh.)

Ok.

To watch Trump and Vance is pretty damned funny.

But to watch a really monstruous construction, Ari Melber played footage from this broadcast by Fox News Talking-Head, Jesse Watters, which you have to see to believe:

Now, excuse me. But watch that video. Then watch the entire segment of Ari Melber from about 1 hr 13 minutes to about 1 hr 5 minutes to get videos of Trump, Vance, and Jesse Watters.

And watch the body language, especially of the expert guest who really projects happiness and self-worth: Maya Wiley. Ms. Wiley’s body language speaks volumes about how outrageous the Jesse Watters segment is.

Although I have shown you where to get the video, let me here share the best transcription of the segment I have yet found:

The pundit was making fun of a record-breaking "White Dudes for Harris" fundraising call on Tuesday’s episode of The Five when he questioned why “any man would vote Democrat,” claiming that it would have to be because of “mommy issues.”

“It’s not the party of virtue, security — it’s not the party of strength — it’s definitely not the party of family. And to be a man and then vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is either childish — that person has mommy issues — or they are just trying to be accepted by other women,” Watters said. “I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

That transcription can be found, with delightful commentary, here:

My source, The Advocate, is a Journal that promotes thoughtful commentary and advocates for rights of LGBTQ persons.

Now, when Jesse Watters cited unnamed “SCIENTISTS” as voicing, “When a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

Now, having been in love with a beautiful, radiant Nancy for 53-years (51-married), what I would not do to fully understand her mind and her feelings.

Now, if I could only find Jesse Watters’ SCIENTISTS — just think . . .

My God, you could make a lot out of that.

Now, Jesse Watters actually said this nonsense a long time ago, apparently, but I just learned of it today through Ari Melber.

Friends, I am sorry, but this was just too rich, way too rich NOT to share!

Now: For about 2-1/2 weeks, Armando will practice “radio silence,” OVER AND OUT!

I will think of all of you while Nancy and I have close fellowship with friends in the family that have been faithful for 45 years! In the Romantic Rheinpfalz!
