Jesus H. Christ, I can't even post what Scarborough said about Trump this morning

Looks like he's back on the Trump train, though.

It's in a tweet at the top of Individual 1's feed, for anyone who wants to see it.

I'm not going to post it here, because it would surely end up in a deleted thread.

Suffice it to say that he likes what he sees.

And since he was one of Trump's key enablers in 2016, why not?

It's right up there with Tweety swooning over Bush in the flight suit, and wondering if Fred Thompson smelled like Aqua Velva and cigars.

That was a deal breaker for me...I think I can abstain from Morning Joe without regrets from this point forward.

I think the MSM is starting to worry that, if trump* is tossed out on his ass, whoever takes his place just won't be as much fun to cover.

The presidency has turned into a 24 hour WWE channel.

God forbid that a man or woman lands in the Oval Office and simply does the job that they were elected to.

God forbid that we don't cough up millions of dollars every week to send them golfing, or off to their country club.

God forbid that we elect someone who respects people, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, or religious preferences.

That would suck compared to 24/7 "Apprentice."

he is younger than two of them. (But does not actually look appreciably younger.)

At any rate, I do NOT watch Morning Joe-- I watch local news or CNN. Or stuff I recorded last night.

Alisyn Camerota has more informative guests and doesn't step on their answers. (Better looking, too...)

that Trump is younger than Bernie and Biden, but unlike them, he's in horrible shape and eating as if he's daring a heart attack, stroke, or diabetes to happen.

I am not sure how Eugene tolerates them. Nor do I understand exactly why Eugene or Stephanie Miller tolerate them except, perhaps, that they can reach a different audience?

We must have another wave election. WE, THE PEOPLE must crush fascism and make fascism marginal again. That is our only salvation and I suspect it will shut the likes of Scarborough and Mika down a bit.

Maybe not, but that's my best thought right now

VOTE DEMOCRATIC!

It has been Joe's position from the very beginning. Each and every time Trump has stepped firmly into the republican message, "Fair Weather" Joe has acknowledged and provided Trump kudo's.

Joe is just dying for the resurgence of true Repelecantism so he can finally shout, victoriously, he has a "Party" again.

totally miss the point.

This garbage designed to look like serious news from people posing as decent, honest, journalists shouldn’t even be on the air.
This propaganda is specifically created to keep us angry with each other and to sway elections to keep power and divert our attention for cover. It should all be illegal.

I see no difference between creating a dangerous environment via the news channels whipping up people’s anger or yelling “fire!” in a crowded theater.

to warn others just like you would do with other dangerous people delivering dangerous messages.

Or we could just pretend that ignoring propaganda like America did with Fox news for decades. That worked so well.

Please, keep missing the point and rearing that ugly tone of superiority.

It’s everything you intentionally implied, were called out on, and now wish to pretend you didn’t say.

Just apologize for you rudeness. OR continue to stand by your lame excuse and pretend you were just giving a soul relaxing suggestion. 😂
Your choice.

He may blather on about how he dislikes Trump. Whatever. He enabled GWB to the utmost and still lies about it, saying the Repigs "wanted to count all the votes." What utter horseshit. And I don't trust his wife either-- whether she comes from a strongly Democratic family or not-- I don't care. She married the "Moaning Ho" whose show I have no use for.

I find I don't agree with what anybody says 100% of the time. But I know who the TRUE ENEMIES are.

You obviously don't watch since you think he is on some sort of rump train. Please stop watching if you find it so abhorrent. It's worth it to not hear these repetitive comments day in and day out.
