All that was missing was Joe Scarborough looking into the camera and saying—à la his recent claim that the current Biden was the best Biden ever and f-you if you didn't believe it—that Jimmy Carter was the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.
Today's episode Morning Joe engaged in some world-class revisionism in praise of Carter. Incredibly, citing supposed Soviet views at the time, Scarborough credited Carter [and Mika's dad Zbigniew Brzezinski] more than Reagan, for the fall of the Soviet Union.

No thanks. I just had breakfast. And do not wish to see it again.
ROTFLMAO!
He had a lot to do with it but he was one of the original globalists and didn't know when to stop. The WOT, the WOUkraine and the plethora of color revolutions are part of that cancerous vision.
What about those of us who were alive during that period. Who do we “blame”? RONALD WILSON REAGAN! “Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!!!” I was stationed in Germany at that time.
“Jimmy Carter won the Cold War” said no one ever.
I mean without Carter we would never have got Reagan. So by twisted lefty logic he is kind of right.
Wow...the left rewriting history...SHOCKING!
That’s laughable. It was Reagan and Pope John Paul II.
I would also include Poland, I can’t remember the guy’s name but their strikes.
I think that a conservative news organization should devote an entire hour to highlight the stupid lies Scarborough has said over his career at PMSNBC. And they need to cover the intern Scarborough murdered.
Joe is just a whore for the rats. He is paid very well to say the preposterous things he says
WT#!!!!!
That’s so DISGUSTING!
The Great One is my favorite president and I consider him the Best POTUS of the US ever!
He was a model for my formative years..I was 12 in 1980..you’d think I would have turned out better :)
When HE gave that tear down this wall speech, I thought “oh brother, this guy has such courage but it will NEVER happen...but nice photo op”
Before Rudy reminded me that NYC COULD be safe (that’s long gone though) and Trump reminded me that almost NOTHING is impossible, Ronald Reagan taught me that sticking to one’s convictions (if they are good ones) makes a man.
Whether Trump or Reagan will have been the best president is subjective and I respect both views.
That they are I and II in whatever order is NOT disputable to me.
Well, there is George Washington :) Oddly enough, I don’t know much about his policies.
I know he won the country for us, but I’m leaving him out of this equation to make it easier :), Reagan and Trump...two of the greatest presidents to ever live.
God Bless both of em!!
BTW, so their is no confusion...anyone picking George Washington as first certainly has a credible argument!
Russia invaded Afghanistan and Carter’s response was to boycott the Olympics. Reagan began arming the (radical) Afghans and finally the Russians left.
No Carter had nothing to do with it.
Neither did Reagan.
The Soviet Central Bank at that time was constrained in its money printing to never create more money than how much aligned with the Interior ministry’s 5 year plan. This was a concrete locked down rule. It was a bad mistake. They made the mistake of believing money actually meant something and had to conform to whatever equations.
If they had printed money for domestic use and use throughout the USSR’s other member states, they would have survived and still been there today — because what brought it all on was a fall in oil prices in the early 90s. They could have weathered that storm. But they were foolish enough to insist that money had to mean something.
The US, and rest of world, of course faced the similar disaster in 2009 when capitalism failed. ATMs were going to stop having money. People were going to literally starve.
Bernanke did not make the Soviet mistake. He declared a new phrase — Quantitative Ease — which in willy nilly fashion he created 10s of billions . . . trillions of dollars from nothingness and per his college dissertation . . . dropped it from a helicopter into the system.
Who would complain? He saved the world. It revealed the meaninglessness of something created from nothing, but economics academe knew their own jobs depended on manufacturing reasons why this all made sense.
Anyway, THAT is why the Soviet Union fell. They could have, but did not, create money from nothingness. The current Russian central bank is not similarly constrained.
Little-known fact: It was Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinski who convinced Emperor Hirohito to surrender in 1945.
Why this is not taught in every American History class is beyond me.

Mika’s dad hated the Russians. A professor of mine was his student. She told us that.
Suuuuuure they do. The arrogance and hubris of that douche
Don’t worry, you will see it again later, you’ll just think you are looking at Mika and Joe.
