The opening on morning joe is chilling. He outlines how Rosentein and drumpf

[mfcorey1]

manipulated a meeting with Comey to find out what was happening with the investigation. Finding he was too close to the truth, they decided to fire him and make up an excuse! DAMN!

[get the red out]

1. Joe

I hope he sticks to his guns this time, he keeps going off on Trump then going back for figurative make-up sex.

[NewJeffCT]

19. agreed - Joe seems to blow with the wind

one day shocked and outraged at Trump over the latest craziness.... then, fawning and awed the next.

[lastlib]

24. Nah, he doesn't blow--he sucks........

(which reminds me of the old joke line: "SUCK, dammit--'blow' is just an expression.&quot

[rzemanfl]

30. It was a cartoon and used the words "figure of speech" not "expression."

Many, many years ago.

[lillypaddle]

31. I don't know

I think Joe is totally over trump.

[NewJeffCT]

36. I've seen him "dump" Trump on numerous occasions

his insult to McCain, his claim he's smarter than the generals, his various other insults... but, he keeps going back for more.

[keepthemhonestO]

22. LOL

right on!

[eShirl]

2. "What we're talking about is a President that is subverting the Constitution of the United States"

Joe just now

[bucolic_frolic]

3. A Republican is waking up to the truth?

Imagine that.

Have the strict constructionists weighed in yet on how Trump was part of original intent?

[grantcart]

7. "The clown car parked, the door opened and clowns just started pouring out of it, who knew?"

[BumRushDaShow]

9. !!!!

[NewJeffCT]

20. There are several Republican pundits out there

that have spoken out or written strongly against Trump. However, they're not in Congress, so are not beholden to Koch Brothers money and not fearful of Trump's Deplorable brownshirts. Unfortunately, other than making Democrats feel good, "See, even a Republican agrees with us!" it hasn't amounted to much of anything.

[dem4decades]

26. I don't know if he's concerned about the Republic or the Republican Party"s future.

[itcfish]

37. Trump is not subverting the Constitution

he has no clue what is in the Constitution let alone how to interpret it.

[PearliePoo2]

4. This show is kicking White House ass from one curb to the other.

No one is spared. Scar repeatedly referred to the entire White House occupants as pathetic sycophants.

It's really 'must watch' TV.

[RKP5637]

12. Saw that, and it's great to see a republican saying this on national TV! Maybe the idiot factor of

the US including congress will take notice.

[Dustlawyer]

14. They went around the table and everyone of them said this was done as a

cover-up. Joe even said his fellow Republicans need to step up to the plate and call Trump out.

They all agreed Pence was lying as well!

I don't like Joe, my elderly mom has it on every morning, but I will take what I can get!

[Volaris]

15. He knows what's coming for his beloved Party of Greed when Trump goes down.

[pnwmom]

5. I wonder who the sources were. That stinks about Rosenstein. I was hoping

Rosenstein wasn't as bad as he seemed.

[grantcart]

8. WP: Rosenquist threatens resignation

[coco22]

6. Joe just got frightened

Oh my! this mfker has help him get this far, its all about Nancy Pelosi for SCAR,he is full of shit!

[PearliePoo2]

10. "There is a COVER UP going on."

Mika, "This presidency is OVER".

Joe, "Can this (firing of Comey) be obstruction of justice"?

[onetexan]

38. thank u for posting these comments

i dont watch cable having gottwn rid of it yeara ago, & i didnt particularly like joe & mika but glad to hear the msm finally calling a con what it is.

[PearliePoo2]

11. Joe, "Mike Pence is a LIAR."

"He owes Congress and the American people an apology...NOW!"

[RKP5637]

13. And Well Said! It's great to hear a republican calling out this scum! n/t

[pangaia]

23. An apology? HUH!

He needs to be in jail !!

[MelissaB]

16. Thank you all for the direct quotes. I slept in and missed it.

It makes a world of difference to see the actual quotes.

[Achilleaze]

17. k and r

[skip fox]

18. Best 15 mins. of Joe yet!

[Ligyron]

21. I agree.

This may be the best MJ I've ever seen (for a change) and when Trumpy sees it he will go ballistic.

[safeinOhio]

25. Some are looking ahead so as to not

be in the republican pool of appeasement.

[PearliePoo2]

27. Joe is beyond pissed. He held up the front pages of newspapers all featuring the same photo.

Which was: Trump at the White House posing and smiling with two top Russian thugs.
He pointed out that Trump took Putin's advice by EXCLUDING U.S. media and only allowing Russian journalists to attend their meeting!

Mike Barnicle said that Putin actually scored SEVEN, not six, goals playing hockey yesterday. The SEVENTH goal he scored is THAT photo on newspaper's front pages all across the U.S.

Also alarming to the panel is the fact that Russian cameras and recording equipment was allowed in the Oval Office!
Could this be a security breach, they wondered?

Basically, all their minds are blown...it's like "WHAT THE FUCK"?

[CincyDem]

28. Request: Could someone do a 2 second overview of how they "manipulated a meeting" ?

Don't have TV. Did they actually learn anything directly from Comey about the investigation. Or did they conclude by his evasiveness that he must be close. ?

Sorry - I don't usually ask for clarification but this chit is driving me f'ing crazy and I hate not keeping up.

[PearliePoo2]

34. I don't have TV either. I watch with my laptop here:

http://www.livenewson.com/american/msnbc.html

or here: http://www.livenewschat.eu/politics/

[Scoopster]

29. Rosenstein

It's really starting to sound like he was pressured into signing off on this shit (tho his memo stops well short of actually saying Comey should be fired)

He isn't happy about it either. I'm seeing reports all over that Rosenstein threatened to resign.

[zentrum]

32. Call the DOJ 202-353-1555

Call foul! Don't be passive.

202-353-1555

[democratisphere]

33. This entire administration must be removed from their offices.

[OnDoutside]

35. I loved when Joe was almost on his knees begging his Republican Congressmen and Senators

to come to their senses and stop Trump NOW, or the "Republican Party will be hammered in the Midterms, Nancy Pelosi will be speaker with a whole lot to spare, and it will take a long, long time for the Republican Party to recover"

At that point, Mika sticks her head across and says "Not that that matters right now" ..... Loved it !

[Tom Rinaldo]

39. A number of things to say about him

Scarborough is a narcissist, but not crazed like Trump. He actually is bright and he thinks very highly of himself. He is clearly a Republican, who is to the right of the old Bob Dole school of Republicans, which makes him somewhat moderate by contemporary Republican standards. However "Moderate" Republican vote with right wing Republican 90% of the time.

Joe's value as a political commentator come from all the inside connections and sources he still has within the Republican Party. He can only stray off the reservation a certain amount of the time or he burns important political bridges. So he swerves back and forth drunkenly between mouthing the party line and challenging it.

But he doesn't have to run for elections anymore and fund raise to do so, or make deals to get support for pet legislation, so he is more free to sometimes be critical of Republicans than other so called moderates in that Party who hold office. He was once close to Trump and rode that connection to big ratings. He therefore has blood on his hands and is defensive over that.

He remains a political creature but I do think he understands that Trump is now undermining our Democracy and I believe he has genuine concerns over that. He is also smart enough to know that Trump is leading the Republican Party down a rabbit hole to an election massacre.

[Pluvious]

40. Very helpful info on Joe's history, thanks for this n/t
