(CNN)How much longer President Donald Trump continues waging battle over an election he lost remained in question Thursday as more of his advisers voiced doubt his gambit to contest the results would succeed. One person who spoke to him called him "dejected" over the ordeal. Trump himself was waffling by the hour and day between a pugilistic desire to keep fighting and a more resigned attitude that his efforts will ultimately fail, people who spoke to him said. None said they believed a full-blown concession was imminent, or likely to ever materialize. Some people close to the situation pointed to...

A New York City police officer used his squad car loudspeaker to chant “Trump 2020” at passersby in Brooklyn. A uniformed police officer walked into an early voting station in Miami wearing a “TRUMP 2020” face mask. And the country’s biggest police labor union used a photo of a Philadelphia police officer holding a toddler to peddle the false narrative that police had rescued him from “complete lawlessness” amid the city’s protests while urging people to vote for President Trump to promote “law and order.” The series of incidents in the final days of the presidential election have led some...

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Monday decried the recent New York Post bombshell report which alleged to have email correspondence showing Hunter Biden, son of 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, getting help from his father to obtain a “lucrative” relationship with Ukrainian energy company Burisma. This reportedly happened as the elder Biden was serving as vice president.

Guest host Tiffany Cross claimed that, while awaiting the conclusion of negotiations on the new stimulus package, Americans are "starving." Other than people who have fallen off the grid due to addiction or mental illness, perhaps Cross could tell us how many Americans have starved during these negotiations. Even more egregiously, the Rev. William Barber, a poverty advocate and regular MSNBC guest, offered up some statistics that can only be called insane.

Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline,” MSNBC’s Jason Johnson accused President Donald Trump of “raising an illegal white nationalist terrorist army” to intimidate voters at the polls. Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “I think what the foiled plot against Gretchen Whitmer maybe makes real is that the tweets are acted upon sometimes. Whether they’re cause and effect, I think that’s a question only law enforcement can answer, but there are dots that can be connected between the things he says and the things bad people do. I want to read you this from Politico. ‘Trump campaign ready to unleash thousands of poll...

How vile are the Never Trumpers? Take Rick Tyler, former Ted Cruz campaign aide turned such a nasty Never Trumper that it earned him a "political analyst" gig with MSNBC. After Al Sharpton on his MSNBC show this evening congratulated himself for offering prayers for Trump -- "Yes, you heard that right. Sympathy from me to this president' -- Tyler unleashed this ugly analogy blaming Trump for every single American death attributed to the coronavirus: "I appreciate your gracious tone . . . I don’t have that kind of sympathy . . . I look at this as a drunk...

For someone as infamous as Hanoi Jane Fonda to exploit the devastating West Coast wildfires to sell the Green New Deal (GND) is just par for the course. She’s used to pushing propaganda. Fonda joined MSNBC blowhard Joy Reid on the September 17 edition of The ReidOut. Reid shifted her fawning over Fonda’s climate activism to questioning Fonda on how to use the wildfires to get people thinking about implementing the GND. Reid asked: “How do you get from knowing what [the GND] is and talking about it in theory — even with the fires burning — to get people...

Former CIA Director John Brennan opened up about various inquiries into the Russia investigation during an appearance Thursday on MSNBC. After the Senate Homeland Security Committee voted to authorize the use of a subpoena against him in its investigation, Brennan shrugged off the implications of the vote. He said the chairman, Sen. Ron Johnson, and another top Republican conducting a separate review of the Russia investigation, Senate Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham, "don’t have the — ."

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow used powerful images on Tuesday of immigrant children sleeping on a floor to make a point that the Trump administration has “deliberately” hurt families -- but a pair of key photos used by the liberal host were actually from the Obama era. “In terms of permanent damage done to humans, in terms of the severity of the damage deliberately done to humans, the Trump administration, no matter what else they do, they will never ever get out from the shadow of the fact that they really did, as a policy and a deliberate practice, they really did take little kids away from their moms and dads,” she said to open "The Rachel Maddow...

And Mussolini made the trains run on time . . . On today's Morning Joe, Adrian Wooldridge, a columnist at The Economist, said that unlike the United States, China passes the "good government" test. Wooldridge made his comment in the context of discussing the way various countries have dealt with the coronavirus pandemic, but offered no qualifier as to his "good government" praise of China. To the contrary, Wooldridge said that the advantage of good government is moving from the West "to the East. We have to wake up to this fact that government matters, and that we’re falling behind...

“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough began his segment this morning, by asking Al Sharpton what his message to the “25 million peaceful protesters” about the remarks by “those people, who were chanting “they hope that they died?” Al Sharpton, the guy who openly called for killing cops in 1992, told Scarborough that the message of the BLM agitators is, “We are not anti-police, and we are certainly not for killing or shooting police.” He quickly switched gears, making himself and BLM the victims, saying, “We are there saying police should not be wrongfully shooting or killing civilians, particularly in the...

MSNBC host Joy Reid gave a full-throated defense of Black Lives Matter, insisting demonstrators pushing for racial justice don't riot and blaming President Trump for the violence she said is being fueled by "white nationalist mobs." Reid on Saturday shared a local Seattle report from June, suggesting that Black Lives Matter isn't responsible for the unrest because of the 81 arrests that were made at the time and included race in court documents, 32 were White and only eight of them were Black; in addition, more than 70 percent of those arrests were from outside the Seattle area. "Let me...

Mainstream and liberal media pundits went weak at the knees for former first lady Michelle Obama's Democratic National Convention speech on Monday. Obama's primetime address skewered President Donald Trump and urged voters to choose Democrat Joe Biden like their lives depended on it, and it made an impression. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow said she could not breathe during Obama's speech, ABC's George Stephanopoulos called it a "sermon," and left-wing comedian Stephen Colbert simpered, "I’ll be honest with you. My job is to have a joke for every time somebody says anything in public. After watching Michelle Obama’s speech, I have never...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) reacted to National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) Director William Evanina’s statement on threats to the 2020 election coming from Russia, China, and Iran by stating that “They are truly trying to conflate threats, I believe, to protect the president.” Host Joy Reid asked, “What do you make of the fact that there’s all this other information too about Iran and China. Do you worry that that information is being included in order to get it past Donald Trump, meaning, have something in there to both-sides it so that...

You might have thought it was surprising, shocking, perhaps even inappropriate, that retired military brass, particularly those like James Mattis who served as aides to President Trump, have spoken out in criticism of him. You might also have thought that Trump-hater par excellence Nicolle Wallace would have been thrilled by their statements. But Wallace is apparently a tough person to please. On her MSNBC show this afternoon, Wallace expressed her "burning rage" that the military leaders didn't speak out sooner!Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

President Trump sounded off on the ousting of NBC News chairman Andy Lack and other members of the media while taking questions from the Oval Office on Thursday. When asked by a reporter how much influence Fox News has over his thinking of the coronavirus pandemic, Trump responded by saying it's "no different" than other media outlets, referring to himself as "well-versed." However, the president quickly took aim at several other networks. "Some are fake. If you look at CNN, it's fake news. If you look at MSDNC -- I call it MSDNC, you know what that means, right? Democratic...

In a new interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, billionaire investor and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban argues Biden has been “too silent” in the coronavirus era and “is not really offering solutions in a way that builds confidence.”

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville claimed Wednesday that Republicans were so intent on maintaining power that they would literally “kill people” in order to do so. “My kind of mission in the short-term is to sound the alarm to say [that] Mitch McConnell and the Supreme Court — they’re going to do everything they can to hold onto power,” Carville said duing an appearance on MSNBC. “This thing in Wisconsin was one of the most awful things I’ve ever seen in my life,” Carville added, referring to the controversy over whether to postpone the Badger State’s primary elections due to...

Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Howard Dean has taken a stance against MSNBC, vowing not to appear on the network unless it skips President Trump's daily coronavirus press briefings. There has been a growing chorus of critics who are calling on media outlets not to air the White House briefings live, accusing the president of "misinformation" and "lying," and condemning his attacks on reporters, as well as his ongoing praise for the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the virus. Dean took to Twitter on Tuesday to challenge the network and urged others to join him. "I just...
