Pro Political Tip For Mika Brzezinski: When praising Joe Biden, DO NOT, under any circumstances, talk about his "touch." And yet, on today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski violated that rule. Expressing her sadness at Biden leaving the race, Mika thrice extolled Biden's "touch."Mika, Mika, Mika! You say "touch," and for millions of Americans it brings to mind unsettling images. Biden's "touch" with the daughter of Dem Sen. Chris Coons, seen here, is just one of many such examples. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Ex-MSNBC host Keith Olbermann called for CNN to fire one of their most prominent political commentators for juxtaposing former President Trump and President Biden in a way that put the Republican in a positive light. In the weeks following Biden’s widely criticized performance in the presidential debate, the president’s supporters have feuded with his critics who are calling for him to step down in lieu of another candidate.

Turns out, Joe Scarborough wasn't telling the truth when for weeks and months he was talking up Biden's chances of winning, discounting any polling that indicated the opposite. We now find out that Scarborough knew better all along. On today's Morning Joe, Willie Geist told the truth. "I think what we saw yesterday was everything we'd been hearing in private. Not just, frankly, for the last three weeks, but for a long time, spilled out publicly. Which is that the polling now shows, private polling and now public polling, that we're seeing, internal polling and public polling, that this is...

Mika Brzezinski began today's Morning Joe with an apparent expression of discontent about the show having been yanked off the air yesterday, pointedly saying "It is VERY good to be here." That apparent discontent become absolutely explicit an hour later in the show. Joe Scarborough in effect accused the NBC News suits of having lied to them in saying that they'd been taken off the air because there'd be one unified feed across all their networks yesterday. That didn't turn out to be so. Scarborough ended with what sounded like a threat to quit, saying: "Next time we're told there's...

MSNBC has elected to air an NBC News special report rather than Morning Joe Monday morning, after former President Donald Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt on Saturday. The show, which features several panelists and has been critical of the former president, was not aired, but the show's X account did say it would return on Tuesday. A CNN report alleges the network pulled the show Monday due to concerns over a potential inappropriate comment about the assassination attempt by one of the guests on the show. The Washington Examiner has reached out to MSNBC for comment. This...

Joe Rogan roasted Joe Scarborough after playing a clip of an MSNBC segment in which the host claimed Joe Biden was “sharper than ever.” The podcaster and comedian played the clip of Scarborough, which started with his rant, which ended with an “F you” to the viewers, “if you can’t handle it.”

Who got to Joe Scarborough? Last Friday, the very next day after Biden's debate debacle, Scarborough strongly suggested that Biden needed to quit, pronto. Scarborough analogized that just like Goldwater went to Nixon during Watergate and told him it was "over," Democrats now need to say the same thing to Biden. Scarborough has now drastically changed his tune. On today's Morning Joe, he stressed that Democrats shouldn't rush into a decision: "it's only July 5th!", he repeatedly exclaimed. So, who got to Joe Scarborough? And what leverage did they use on him? A likely possibility: Scarborough has been bragging about...

On this past Friday's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough strongly suggested that Biden should quit the race in the wake of his disastrous debate performance. But incredibly, Scarborough was AWOL today on the show's next episode. He abandoned the show to Mika Brzezinski, who opened with a lengthy defense of Biden, saying she was not even close to calling on him to drop out, and that he was still "the man for the moment." Mika claimed that Scarborough was away on a "planned vacation." Riight. With the Democratic Party in a state of panic and the Supreme Court scheduled to rule...

Joe Scarborough—finally—had to stop lying to himself and to his viewers. The man who recently had the chutzpah to absurdly claim that this is the "best Biden ever and f-you if you don't believe it," has been forced to confront the truth. After Biden's disastrous debate performance, a shame-faced Scarborough [see screencap], analogizing the situation to when Barry Goldwater told Nixon during Watergate that it was "over" and he had to resign, suggested the time has come for Democrats to tell Biden he has to drop out.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

We recently caught Joe Scarborough humble bragging "I'm not good at this politics thing." At least, we thought he was humble bragging. Turns out, maybe Joe has plenty to be humble about. There was Scarborough this morning, now claiming that it is Trump who is very worried about the debate, with Scarborough actually suggesting that a "whining, whimpering" Trump is scared that Biden might "beat him really badly."This is a flip-flop from their earlier assertions that Trump was overconfident. Scarborough and his gang have been all over the Republicans for suggesting that Biden, with his loss of mental acuity, will...

VIDEOIn his own words, Joe Scarborough has been exposed by history as a FOOL and useful IDIOT. Here we see Scarborough bloviating in October 2020 while smearing the New York Post for publishing the Hunter Biden laptop story. Yeah, a story that has been proven TRUE to the extent that the prosecutors used Hunter's laptop as evidence against him in his recent gun trial. But, of course, Scarborough has not learned even a smidgen of humility by being so incredibly wrong. Instead he is again smearing the New York Post for publishing stories about videos revealing Joe Biden's loss of...

With Joe Scarborough leading the charge, today's Morning Joe mounted a furious attack against yesterday's Wall Street Journal article, "Behind Closed Doors, Biden Shows Signs of Slipping." The article really was nothing much more than a recapitulation of what is obvious to anyone who has observed Biden in recent times. Although he has his relatively cogent moments—notably during this year's State of the Union—Biden suffers "senior moments" with such regularity that the Free Beacon has been cataloging them every week -- now at Week 96 and counting. Joe Scarborough, soccer fan that he is, committed an horrendous own goal in...

VIDEO Joe Scarborough has become a used car salesman. And when he sells, he sell HARD. As you can see he goes to extreme lengths to try to sell us an old broken down used car. Sure the car no longer works but time has smoothed over its rough edges and this version of the old broken down used car is the BEST version ever!

The conservative talk show host called out House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan of Ohio, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer of Kentucky and House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana for not doing enough to help the MAGA cause. "Once again. I beg of you. Where is Jim Jordan, where's Comer, where's Polly Pockets Johnson. Where are the subpoenas? Where is an investigation? Why are people not being held accountable? Why does it take [conservative activist] Mike Davis and [former Trump aide] Kash Patel and the same people over, and over, and over again. [Former Republican Nevada attorney general candidate]...

It's not just Joe Scarborough's phone buddy Joe Biden with troubling issues of memory loss. It's also 61-year-old Scarborough himself. Concerns continue to mount over the Morning Joe host's apparently failing memory. [snip] Now, more troubling evidence has emerged of Scarborough's apparent memory loss and declining mental acuity. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough mocked Rudy Giuliani for creating his own eponymously-named brand of coffee. It obviously escaped poor Scarborough's memory that Rudy is not the only one in the political/media world to have his own coffee brand. There's also . . . you, Joe! Perhaps the image here will refresh...

Muy Macho Joe Scarborough has once again proven himself the toughest hombre this side of Nantucket. Among several past displays of his sizzling manliness, Scarborough once boasted he'd force a tourist to eat his camera if he found him snapping pics inside the Capitol somewhere Scarborough didn't approve. [snip] Scarborough then trained his macho sights on Trump. Joe said that Judge Merchan has shown "restraint" in the face of Trump "going out and, and attacking him personally, suggesting that he's corrupt, suggesting that the court system is rigged, making it extraordinarily personal toward him and members of his family." Scarborough...

Evidence? Joe Scarborough don't need no stinkin' evidence. On today's Morning Joe, the Biden phone buddy and informal adviser felt entitled to make a very grave--and entirely evidence-free--accusation against Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Thus it was that in a segment devoted to a New York Times story skewering Alito for permitting the flying at his home of an upside-down American flag, Scarborough accused Alito of having leaked the draft of the Dobbs opinion [which Alito wrote], overturning Roe v. Wade. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

As we've noted in the past, Mika Brzezinski has expressed concerns over the fragile psyche of her husband and co-host Joe Scarborough, at one point ordering him to take an extended break from the show. Mika might be inclined to give Joe another long time-out after his disturbed and disturbing performance on Wednesday's Morning Joe. Scarborough absolutely freaked out [see screencap and Mika's stone-faced reaction] over a New York Times/Siena poll showing Trump leading in five out of six swing states. Scarborough was dead serious when he accused the Times of rigging the polls against Biden in order to write...

Regular Morning Joe viewers are all too familiar with Joe Scarborough's annoying habit of working the fact that he used to be a congressman into conversations. But for a bragging change of pace, Scarborough somehow managed to slip into his Mother's Day reminiscences that in high school, he apparently was a multi-sport star. In baseball: "I played baseball. All-Star, had a high average, all this stuff."In basketball: "I was scoring like 30, 35 points a game."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

You might think of a presidential election as a choice among candidates. Not to historian and occasional Biden speechwriter Jon Meacham. He will brook no dissent. There is no choice. You MUST vote for Joe Biden! "What I would say to anyone who says, 'Yeah but. Yeah, Trump is awful but, whatever," is there is no but. It's got to be, "Yeah, Trump is that, and, I'm going to vote against him."There is no but? It's "got to be" a vote against Trump, i.e., for Biden? And the liberal media accuses MAGA of disrespecting democracy?Get the rest of the story...
