"...a president could beat up a first lady...abuse his children..."

(37,648 posts)Joe is on the side of right these days. Some people who don't watch the show regularly don't know that.

(58,785 posts)the pushing of the idea by some others that this means Scarborough supports beating women and children goes right past deplorable to despicable. Hillary was being restrained in describing that type of contemptible partisanship.

(37,648 posts)I've been watching that show since it started, and I watched him on tv as a commentator before then. So I know him pretty well. He's a traditional Republican, so I know he has issues with Democratic policies. But he's most definitely an anti-Trumper, now, and has left the Republican Party (for the time being). He's registered as an independent, or considers himself one.
He's gotten somewhat more left since starting MJ show, culminating in marrying his Democratic Party 2nd banana, Mika. She's a traditional Democrat.
Come to think of it, I know WAY too much about these people. LOL.

(37,648 posts)They each divorced their spouses. They got married....I know how he proposed and everything. Like I said, I know WAY too much about these people. (But that's because I watch the show a lot.)
You know her father was Zbigniew Brzezinski, right? Carter's Nat'l Security Advisor. He counseled LBJ, too. Very smart man. He died last year. He was on the MJ show a number of times.

(61,698 posts)When did they get married? I'm wondering if it was in the US.
Just for the record, I'm sorry their other marriages didn't work out, but I'm glad people are happily in love. Good for them.
On edit: you can PM me if you don't want to post it. I know no one important or interesting or in entertainment or politics. IOW, there is no one for me to tell, but details about other people make my day.

(37,648 posts)I forget where, because I don't travel. Some gorgeous place...I think in Europe. An expensive city and resort. It was pretty romantic. He'd bought the ring a month ahead of time.
Scarborough got down on one knee with the oval-shaped diamond ring set in platinum hed been hiding for a month and asked her to marry him. When I saw him on one knee, I started laughing nervously, almost hysterically, she said. And then he asked, and I said, Absolutely.
She's still on good terms with her ex, judging by comments she's made. Not so sure about Joe. He'd been away from home a lot, I know, since they lived in Florida, but the show taped in NY, so he spent most of his time there. That had to have an effect on their marriage.
Anyway, I'm divorced and never found "the one," so I'm glad when someone finds a soulmate. It must be weird hosting a show together, though.

(49,036 posts)There is definitely something not being told, something being hidden. Perhaps the Trump team are not eager to use Melania as a test case for Ghouliani's theory.

(114 posts)I think Stormy is a good reason the FL is hiding. Could you see Melania giving a Hilary type 'Monica' speech? That would be better listened to than the State of the Union babble.
