Mark Cuban is FOS. So is former DLC Chair, Harold Ford.

[merrily]

MSNBC reporting this morning that Mark Cuban said that Trump is just what politics has need for a long time. That Trump's message does not even matter. It's that Trump says what is on his mind.

Hello? If the message does not even matter, why haven't you been praising Bernie for that behavior, Mark?

Could it be because Bernie's message is not as billionaire friendly as Trump's. IOW, I think you are not being honest about how irrelevant the message is.

Then we hear from Harold Ford, former DLC Chair, saying that Trump's poll numbers show America's fascination with a rich man who speaks his mind. No, that fascination with the wealthy would be you, Mr. Ford. Americans are filling Sanders' events to overflowing while the Trump camp inflates the numbers showing up at his events--and Trump is offering a free lunch!

And, btw, why is what Mark Cuban thinks of Donald Trump MSNBC newsworthy this morning, but today, an unprecedented day in US politics gets no mention whatever on an allegedly pro-Democratic TV network this morning or last night (except for already cancelled Ed Shultz)? Huh? Huh? Huh?

1. What is FOS ???

I tried Google but I don't think that is what you mean.

[merrily]

2. I didn't explain it to google, either.

Full of shit. Somehow, initials seem more ladylike.

[SamKnause]

5. The Google definition is

f**kable on site.

I didn't think that was what you meant.

I too am female, but I never worry about being ladylike.

F**K is my favorite word.

[merrily]

6. You were right. I have absolutely no desire to fuck Cuban or Ford.

[SamKnause]

13. n/t

[ejbr]

12. More ladylike??

Did you raise your pinky while typing it?

[merrily]

14. Pffft. Of course not. My pinky is always raised.

Delicate flower that I am.

[winter is coming]

18. Oh. I thought it stood for "Friend of Satan."

Seriously.

[merrily]

19. Could it beeeee Friends of Satan?

[sabrina 1]

21. Lol, I thought it had something to do with Foreign Policy!

What's worse is I wasn't even surprised that we might have a moron like that appointed to some important FP position.

[merrily]

22. Under President Trump, Cuban probably would be appointed to an important position.

[Enthusiast]

3. Kicked over the moon! And recommended too.

MSNBC, Mark Cuban and Harold Ford...................

[merrily]

4. Thanks!

7. Don't try to figure it out Merrily.

It is not ment to make any sense, it is intended to decieve and manipulate.

The truth is that the GOP has it's share of people who are fed up with the status quo too and they see Trump as the destruct button because they have no one to vote for.

Plus it will scare the Dems into accepting anything because the Trump would be so much worse...triangulation can be such a smart tool.

8. Just lost a lot of respect for Cuban. I thought

he was a decent guy..Say Good-bye to Shark Tank Mark...

9. Definitely attracts attention with the acronym.

You clever person, you, you'll have hundreds of DUers clicking to see what "FOS" means.

As for the stroking of Mr Trump by the journalistas, well, they know which side of their bread is buttered. They may be FOS, but they crave getting up there and having more.

15. I only wish I were that crafty. I never thought of attracting DUers with FOS.

[Fuddnik]

10. What's fascinating is that anyone gives Harold Ford the time of day.

[merrily]

20. Well, they get impatient when he starts talking about the big hand and the little hand.

So, they just say, "It's 3:15, Harold."

[Volaris]

11. Don't worry about it. When Sen Sanders wins the whole shebang, their tears will taste delicious.

And he CAN win this thing. I read his speech the other day. He addressed the issue some folks were worried about, he did it in a way that wasn't condescending or half-assed, and I really think the Media/PTB are scared speechless, so (for as long as they can get away with it) they will ignore at best and ridicule at worst (see all the Third Way surrogates calling him a socialist and a political outlier). When they start calling him a communist, we will know he's on his way to a legitimate victory.
only question at this point (I think) is who will be the first to break out the next set of Knives...The GOP, The Media, or ....

[merrily]

16. We KNOW who was first.

[sabrina 1]

24. I think we already know the answer to that. The GOP believes it is going to be Hillary

like their Third Way counterparts, they are totally out of touch with the American people.

[olddots]

17. MSNBC is like a comedian with two minutes of material

who has to do a 45 minute set .

[merrily]

23. Perfect analogy!

[SoapBox]

25. Oh gag.

Can't stand Cuban.

[bluestateguy]

26. And the thing is about Harold Ford

Is that every word out of his mouth is so slickly packaged, poll tested, focus group tested, think tank scripted and consultant written.
