It seems so long ago that Donald Trump was warmly favored by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the duo hanging out at Mar-a-Lago over the holidays and hailing him as a "masterful politician." Now, every day, Scarborough rips into Trump in the most personal terms, and even rips his wife. In a remarkably bitter attack on Wednesday morning, Scarborough savaged Melania Trump as "shameless, absolutely shameless."Scarborough was incensed that in her speech last night at the RNC convention, Melania criticized people who are mean on social media, but had not criticized President Trump's tweets about poor Joe and Mika, as...

Gag me with a Shining City! On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough slobbered over Joe Biden's acceptance speech at the DNC convention last night. Scarborough had the chutzpah to repeatedly refer to Biden's address as "Reaganesque." Scarborough failed to recognize the glaring irony in two of his statements: 1. "The focus wasn’t on a flurry of policy prescriptions from the 1984 Democratic convention." Of course not! Because if Biden had exposed his far-left positions—from pro-abortion extremism to support for the economy-destroying Green New Deal—it would have been unpalatable to most Americans.

Last week, we caught CNN anchor John Berman and South Carolina Democrat Bakari Sellers denying there were any politics involved as they gushed over Joe Biden's pick of Kamala Harris as his running mate. Today it was MSNBC's turn to negate any notion that, heaven forbid, politics could possibly be involved in expressing support for Joe Biden. Willie Geist, normally the less-politicized voice of the Morning Joe crew, made a heartfelt plea for Biden, all while denying politics were in any way behind his words.Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Mika Brzezinski recently expressed concern for husband Joe Scarborough's mental health -- asking him during the course of a show if he wanted a time-out to listen to favorite music to calm himself. She later ordered him to take a two-week break from Morning Joe, presumably to rest his frayed psyche. Joe took Friday morning off, but hopefully he was watching and will return the concern for wife Mika. Because the poor woman seemed to be teetering on the verge. Her voice cracking at times, Brzezinski said that "everyone should be very, very worried." An emotional Mika said "I beg"...

VIDEO Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe reacted in a very strange way to polls showing that Joe Biden is winning in the battleground states. You don't have to be a body language expert to see the oddity of Mika revealing her deep sadness over this to the point she seems to be on the verge of crying. It could be she is having flashbacks back to 2016 when the polls guaranteed a Hillary Clinton victory. Mika is also upset that the post office can't seem to handle millions of possible mail-in ballots. Hey, Mika, it's the Post Office! It's...

On a day when the new Harris/Hill poll shows Biden's lead cratering to three points, the liberal media might want to focus on trying to push poor Ol' Joe over the finish line. Instead, on today's Morning Joe a seemingly cocksure Joe Scarborough, riffing off the executive orders that President Trump signed over the weekend, predicted that for "quite some time" there will be a "line" of Democrat presidents, explicitly including "President Kamala Harris." For good measure, Scarborough also foresaw Republicans being in the minority for a "generation." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Does anyone believe Joe Scarborough has the best interests of the Republican party at heart? This is a guy who quit the party in 2017. And while he claims to still be a "conservative," how often do you hear him criticize liberal policies or politicians? Just this morning, he was lauding Barack Obama's partisan attack in the guise of a "eulogy" at the John Lewis funeral as "extraordinarily appropriate and moving." So Scarborough's advice to Republicans should be taken with a grain of salt the size of Mt. Rushmore. But for those who might conceivably care what he had to...

Morning Joe might well have renamed itself "Schadenfreude Central" today. The show opened with an extended segment devoted to the news that mask-skeptic Republican congressman Louie Gohmert has announced that he has contracted the coronavirus. To be sure, Joe, Mika, and Willie bent over backward to let you know they really, really, really hope Gohmert "is okay," with each of them putting their pious good wishes on the record. Except . . . someone should have told Scarborough not to laugh, smirk, and smile as he introduced the segment, saying, "Louie, Loui-e-e-e, Louie."Get the rest of the story and view...

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Thursday suggested there was a “money connection” in President Donald Trump’s continued push of the drug hydroxychloroquine to help treat the coronavirus. According to Scarborough, “it makes no sense to continue to push” hydroxychloroquine when “every medical professional says it doesn’t work.”

We are now inside the 100-day window until the presidential election on November 3rd.  But the outcome of the vote is increasingly deemed inevitable by hysterical media types: every poll, all on-air commentary and every single one of their daily Op-Ed rantings on the 2020 Campaign all march in lock-step as they anxiously seek to brainwash Americans into thinking Joe Biden is assured of being sworn in as our 46th president. But as CNN and The Washington Post and Mediaite and the New York Times all work overtime to crank out stories about public opinion polls showing Joe Biden crushing...

When it comes to President Trump's handling of the coronavirus, good news is bad news—for the liberal media. Joe Scarborough proffered a perfect example of the phenomenon on today's Morning Joe. Yesterday, President Trump gave a measured press-conference performance on the coronavirus. He struck a notably candid and somber note in warning that "things will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better." You might have thought that Scarborough & Co. would have welcomed President Trump's serious tone. But no. To the contrary, it enraged Joe, sending him into a table-pounding, screaming fit. "One day! One day!," he bellowed. Scarborough...

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” network national affairs analyst John Heilemann said President Donald Trump would use unidentified federal agents like the ones he sent to Portland to use force “to try to steal this election.” Heilemann said, “This is not just performative authoritarianism. This is authoritarianism. These are paramilitary units. These are the things we have seen in authoritarian regimes in third world countries throughout the second half of the 20th century. This is not a mystery what’s going on here. I think to look at this through the prism of symbolic politics, the law and order campaign, Trump...

Yesterday, we reported the disturbing news that Joe Scarborough's two-week-long break, ordered by wife Mika Brzezinski, hadn't ameliorated his terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Returning to the show, Scarborough exhibited the same symptoms—extreme commentary and behavior—that had sent him into what was hopefully going to be a soothing retreat. Today, sadly, comes further evidence of the failure of whatever therapy Scarborough underwent during his time away. On live TV, Joe suffered a severe relapse of one of his worst habits: getting up on a verbal hobbyhorse and riding it into the ground. We've witnessed poor Joe fall into this...

Joe Scarborough needs to return to the rest retreat. Two weeks wasn't enough to cure an apparently late-stage case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Last week, after Scarborough had been missing from Morning Joe action for several days, his wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski tweeted that the reason he was taking "a week or to [sic] off" was because "I told him to." Mika didn't specify why she told Joe to take a break, but we can offer an educated guess: she was concerned about his state of mind. [snip] Joe returned to the show this morning, and it was quickly...

New polling confirms Americans are not as crazy and clueless as their mainstream media. Despite all the media BS about peaceful protests, Americans are not so willing to go along with ripping down all the statues of heroes and saints, burning and looting the business districts and threats to abolish the police. According to a new poll by Democracy Institute the fallout from the Black Lives Matter protests and riots will win President Trump his reelection.

President Trump on Monday took a shot at MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough – calling for “Concast” to probe him for a cold case involving the death of an intern in his congressional office in 2001. “‘Concast’ should open up a long-overdue Florida Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough,” the president said, referring to NBC News’ parent company Comcast, in a tweet shortly after the “Morning Joe” host reported bad polling news for Trump. “I know him and Crazy Mika well used them beautifully in the last Election, dumped them nicely, and will state on the record that he is ‘nuts’. Besides,...

Could Joe Scarborough be on the verge of one of those later-in-life, dramatic, personal transformations? Working through his personal history, and consumed with hatred of Donald Trump, could Joe end his days in a state of religious fervor, transforming from TV personality into unordained preacher, roaming the country, declaring and repenting for his life of sin, and bidding others to join him in his search for redemption? Get the rest of the story and view the video here. The possibility is posed after Scarborough opened today's Morning Joe wtih yet another of his quasi-religous sermons, complete with table-pounding, and needle-pinning...

VIDEO Look at the smug smiles on the Morning Joe crew today as they yet AGAIN celebrate what they seem to think is a certain Trump loss in November according to the polls. You would think that after being so horribly humliated by their experience in 2016 when they also celebrated what they thought would be Trump's certain loss that they would be wary of ever relying so completely on polls ever again. Instead they are hilariously going down that same garden path again without even a flicker of self-awareness of any possibility that they could be repeating their...

Joe Scarborough believes the Trump administration is lying in saying the president wasn't briefed about a reported Russian bounty on US soldiers in Afghanistan. But if indeed the president wasn't informed of the reported Russian plot, on today's Morning Joe Scarborough offerered two execrable explanations for the omission: President Trump is either too "addled," i.e., demented, to make informing him worthwhile. Or, the president is a Russian "source," who couldn't be "trusted." That is tantamount to accusing President Trump of treason, of being a Russian spy.

Some psyops from the Morning Joe crowd today. When the goal is to undermine the enthusiasm of a candidate's supporters, try to convince them that their guy actually doesn't want to win! And that's exactly what Joe Scarborough attempted in today's opening segment. With Al Sharpton chipping in, the pair postulated at least six times that President Trump does not want to win re-election. [snip] But there is one thing, according to Mika Brzezinski, that the president does want to do: murder Joe and Mika, given the opportunity! In the context of discussing whether President Trump was joking when he...
