But the fact is that the Wikipedia article accurately describes the story, your opinion of the story notwithstanding.
ABBA sucks big green donkey dicks.

You don't like ABBA, got it....
Pretty sure they are not losing any sleep over your opinion.
Yeah, I don’t much care if four geriatric Swedes know my opinion or not.
You’re still wrong about the article, though.

Um no.
I hate the word "prophecy". But Joe was dead right in his foresight as many prior to today were.
50 former REPUBLICAN intel agents warned America not to elect the orange fuck during his run. Plenty of intel since also went against the orange fuckface.
But you WILL NOT PUT SWEDEN IN THE CORNER!

If only Joe had foreseen what a disaster Trump would be, maybe he wouldn't have given candidate Trump all that free air time during the last election season.
Um no,
I agree that I didn't like him at all when he replaced Don Imus. I didn't like Imus either.
But over the years, he like many in the GOP DID come to realize that they got it wrong. I still don't like that he wants to save that party, as if it could be. But like many other republicans, like John Kasich, Walsh, Jeb, Michael Steele, and even Mitt Romney voted to impeach.
McCain stuck up for Obama and it cost him the election.
Joe wasn't "predicting" in a superstitious context. But he also was not wrong. Even without Joe piping in plenty of people were warning America not to elect him, and those warnings were not from laypeople, but a broad spectrum of government intel.
My only problem with Joe, is that he still sells the Lincoln GOP forgetting or ignoring that Nixon's Southern Strategy changed all that.
But he most certainly isn't faking his fears of Trump. I think everyone should be afraid of 4 more years. I believe Joe in that respect.
And Joe isn't the entirety of Media. There are other channels. The problem with Trump is he is damned if you do, and damned if you don't. The sane want to ignore him, but just like Jim Jones, the consequences of not doing so is a double edge sword.

Republicans hate it when you point out that, if Lincoln were alive today, he’d not only be a Democrat, but a Progressive.
So, you know...keep doing that.

Holy crap, there is a snowball's chance in hell.
100% agree. I really hate today's Republicans invoking Lincoln. He would be a democrat and progressive if alive today.
Lincoln would kick Trump in the nuts.
