(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

On Monday's Morning Joe on MSNBC, co-host Joe Scarborough laughed at and mocked the mainstream media's treatment of the Jill Stein-Hillary Clinton recount, holding up copies of the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.

He asked: "Has Dana Milbank now said ‘Hillary Clinton is threatening to undermine the democracy’ in The Washington Post today?"

"I am sure he will," he said sarcastically.

"This is why, by the way, you’re all going out of business!"

SCARBOROUGH: [laughing] --- I’m sorry, okay hold on – [laughing]…. Hold on, that’s funny! All right, so he's threatening our democracy if he does exactly what she's doing on [sic] September 28th, which he said ‘I'm holding open my options and all legal rights to challenge anything.’ I mean they’re going to try to move this around, but you take what Donald Trump said,

BRZEZINSKI: I got a headache…

SCARBOROUGH: All he did was leave open the option to do exactly what Hillary Clinton is doing. I haven't checked -- have you checked? Is Dana Milbank today –

BRZEZINSKI: You’re giving me a headache, Joe…

SCARBOROUGH: I haven't checked The Washington Post, Dana Milbank writing today. [Turning to Mark Halperin]

SCARBOROUGH: Mark Halperin, because I know he said you were a ‘lackey for Trump’ for saying ‘Trump had a chance to win....

Joe. When she says “you’re giving me a headache,” that’s a signal. OK Joe? It’s a signal. A message of something to come. Or should I say not come.

Well Joe, you yourself, should have been a bit more fair toward Trump during the election.

You started out real good, but totally lost it when the race really ramped up.

Just my opinion.

Pretty funny, worth watching even if you have the transcript. I remember watching him being interviewed once when he was a congressman, a great hilarious interview (and I mean that in a positive sense, he was trying to be funny). Reminded me of Tom Hanks at his comedic best.

I saw that yesterday. It is one of the few post election videos that truly delivers the goods. The mockery is astounding. And dead on.

There is a very interesting article from politicsusa that I was going to post but FR doesn’t allow the source.

It is an article about Joe helping Trump. It has a passage from Trump’s book

And it has an interesting quote from Megyn Kelly that says some media are helping Trump but pretending to dislike him.

Yes, but please remember that we need to tiptoe lightly around the hurt feelings of the losers.

I wholly agree with what Ann Coulter said:

"In fairness, we Trump supporters don't want to be sore winners, so we ought to set a time limit on our gloating. I propose three years."

Her column came out 11/23. So please mark on your calendar that you will stop gloating at midnight 11/22/2020.
