What history...

This Christian nationalism, they’ve invented a religion. It keeps getting more extreme every week. IVF now is, I guess, the devil’s playhouse. Mike Pence had kids through IVF. So now what, is he a heretic? Are they going to hang him? They wanted to. Is his wife...

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Tuesday on “Morning Joe” that Republicans who support former President Donald Trump are in a “death cult for American democracy.” Scarborough said, “These are attacks on America.

You have these freaks, weirdos, insurrectionists, radicals on the far, far right. They are...

Long-time Democrat strategist James Carville told CNN's Anderson Cooper that "left-wing academic Cornel West seeking the Green Party's presidential nomination is a threat to the continued constitutional order in the United States. I say this because it was Ralph Nader's third-party run for president that enabled the vile George W. Bush to narrowly defeat Al Gore in the 2000 election. It's very clear that the only thing that Dr. West's candidacy can do is help elect Donald Trump. I don't think any of that is arguable. Rather than sit idle and let this disaster happen President Biden should issue an...

On Friday, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said “Morning Joe” that former President Donald Trump’s motive for keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort was “all about money.” Scarborough said, “We’ve said from the beginning, and today’s the eighth anniversary, people tell us of Donald Trump coming down the escalator.

Again, just mind-bending, that he sends this information to somebody who...

Don’t criticize leftist billionaire George Soros’ agenda to overhaul the criminal justice system or you’re an anti-Semite! At least, that’s the ridiculous pejorative that MSNBC host Joe Scarbough hurled at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R). Scarborough railed at DeSantis’ tweet signaling that he would not be cooperating with “Soros-backed” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in the extradition of former President Donald Trump following his vendetta to indict him on dubious legal grounds. Scarborough, apparently ignorant of the fact that Soros himself made his agenda to elect leftist prosecutors across the country widely known, set up a strawman argument by arbitrarily...

On a potential indictment of former President Donald Trump, DeSantis tweeted, “The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It is un-American. The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent. Florida will not assist in an extradition request...

Lindsey knows what a bad man Donald Trump is. Lindsey is one who said if we make him our nominee, he’ll destroy the Republican Party, and...
