MSNBC and Joe Scarborough think screaming is how you make a point. I just think it's how you make comedy.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Tuesday on his show “Morning Joe” that Fox News and former President Donald Trump were “obsessed with trashing America.” Scarborough said, “Donald Trump keeps talking about how America sucks. Before he got elected, America sucked. Then he got elected, suddenly, America was great. Then he lost, and now America sucks again. You’re voting for a guy like that? You live in the most powerful, greatest country on the face of the earth, and you’re voting for a guy that tells you every day that America sucks? What’s wrong with you? Who raised you? What history...

UConn has notched a notable double: back-to-back NCAA men's basketball championships. But that achievement pales in comparison to the quintuple-header that Joe Scarborough has pulled off. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough slammed, for what he called their radicalism on abortion: "old, fat, white men in Mississippi."Let's see: in one phrase, Scarborough managed to engage in ageism, fat-shaming, racism, sexism, and negative Southern stereotyping! Even for the liberal media, that could represent a landmark first! Somewhere, Joy Reid is dying of envy! Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Joe Scarborough is notorious for his incessant Trump = Hitler analogies. Now, for purposes of smearing Benjamin Netanyahu, Scarborough has devised an analogy to another mass-murdering dictator. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough began by claiming that Netanyahu "had a plan to force famine on the Palestinian people, on the Gazan people."Scarborough then upped the ante, claiming that Netanyahu's plan is "calculated, and let me say, it's calculated just like Stalin's starvation of Ukrainians was calculated. This is calculated by Benjamin Netanyahu."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Joe Scarborough dug deep into his bag of Trump-Hitler analogies on today's Morning Joe. Scarborough began by analogizing the January 6 riot to Kristallnacht, the 1938 anti-Jewish pogrom led by the Nazi SS. Kristallnacht was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Jews, and the damage or destruction of hundreds of synagogues and thousands of Jewish businesses. It is seen as the precursor to The Final Solution--the Holocaust. To in any way equate this riot to a pogrom is wildly inaccurate and repulsive. Later, Scarborough boasted to George Conway: "You and I were conservatives, and are conservatives, but we were...

It wasn't enough for Mika Brzezinski to declare that Ronna McDaniel would never darken Morning Joe's doorway. On today's episode, Mika, on behalf of the show, called on NBC to fire McDaniel. Or as Mika couched it, "we hope NBC will reconsider its decision," to have hired former RNC chair McDaniel as a political commentator. MIKA: To be clear, we believe NBC News should seek out conservative Republican voices to provide balance in their election coverage. But it should be conservative Republicans, not a person who used her position of power to be an anti-democracy election denier. And we hope...

Joe Scarborough: not just a TV talking head anymore. Now, perhaps the world's greatest military strategist and oracle. On today's Morning Joe, "General" Joe repeatedly called it a "lie" that Israel needs to conduct a ground invasion of Rafah. Why? "Because that's the lie right now that you hear. Oh, if they don't go in and kill another 10,000 civilians, Hamas is going to come back to power. It is a lie. Hamas will never regain power in Gaza, ever. That's over."How many Israeli lives is Scarborough willing to bet on his prediction? Get the rest of the story and...

VIDEOThere are a lot of ignorant blowhards in the mainstream media. However, for the early morning hours it is hard to top Joe Scarborough in the ignorant blowhard department. In the latest idiocy from Morning Joe, Scarborough piously proclaimed that "I've never really heard people discuss macroeconomics in terms of bloodbaths." Really Joe? Because as you can see in this video, "bloodbath" is a word quite frequently used in discussing macroeconomics.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is defending former President Donald Trump on Sunday after multiple establishment media outlets ran headlines stating that the former president warned the U.S. would see a "bloodbath" if he is not reelected. Although Trump did use the word "bloodbath" during a speech in Ohio on Saturday, outlets such as NPR, Politico, The Hill, NBC News, The New York Times and others used the term in headlines without context. Musk said the headlines were "legacy media lies" and he made multiple posts Sunday criticizing their use of the term and stressing the need for context. Musk responded...

WASHINGTON — The White House is considering options for how to respond if Israel defies President Joe Biden’s repeated warnings against launching a military invasion of Rafah without a credible plan to protect Palestinian civilians, according to one former and three current U.S. officials. The discussions are taking place amid growing concern in the administration and frustration among congressional Democrats that the president’s pleas will simply be ignored. Israel this week inched closer to initiating an incursion into the southernmost city in the Gaza Strip. The Biden administration set a March 24 deadline for Israel to provide written assurance, followed...

(New York)The hacktivist collective Anonymous has launched a campaign against Donald Trump this weekend, through a video, and website(OpTrump2016.com), which they are using as a public countdown to??? This past December, in response to statements made by Trump regarding not allowing Muslims to enter the United States, Anonymous launched a similar attack against Trump by taking down the website for Donald Trump's trademark New York City skyscraper. You can read what CNN had to say about it here. Though Anonymous hasn't said specifically what they intend to do if Trump doesn't drop out of the race for presidency, some are...

For my sins, over the years I've suffered through countless Joe Scarborough rants. In recent times, Donald Trump has, of course, been Scarborough's favorite target. But for sheer anger and vitriol, it would be hard to match Scarborough's tirade against Benjamin Netanyahu at the opening of today's Morning Joe. Scarborough attacked Netanyahu for purposes of defending Chuck Schumer's shocking speech on the Senate floor yesterday, calling for regime change in Israel and the ejection of Netanyahu as Israeli Prime Minister. Scarborough had the chutzpah to depict himself as the virtual True Defender of Israel, a veritable modern-day Judah Maccabee. He...

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough told a tale of attending a family gathering for his last birthday, and that his family members there were "all Republicans. All pro-life. All evangelicals." And yet, were they really "pro-life"? According to Scarborough, 30 minutes into the gathering, one relative raised the anedcote of a woman in Texas who was bleeding out because the doctor wouldn't perform an abortion. And that in turn led to "these people, these Republicans, these pro-lifers, these Southern Baptists, these evangelicals, had one horror story after another horror story about what terminating Roe v. Wade was doing to human...

Joe Scarborough says this is the "best Biden ever"—and "f-you" if you don't believe it.At the end of his mind-boggling rant on today's Morning Joe, Scarborough swore: "if it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it." The only thing that would be worse than Scarborough lying about Biden's mental state, would be if . . . he was actually telling the truth. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough was dragging out the old DNC talking point that hey, the Republicans have lost the nationwide popular vote in seven of the last eight elections. This is how Electoral College Deniers argue. Eugene Robinson, MSNBC's chief political analyst, who is also an associate editor of the Washington Post, was responding to Joe Scarborough's question as to what Republicans should do, given their popular vote record. Here was Robinson's description of the Republican strategy to win the White House despite losing the popular vote: "Well, the first thing you do, is you gerrymander the hell out...

Macho MSNBC host Joe Scarborough continued to expose his troubling obsession with outward manifestations of masculinity. Macho Joe was back at it Tuesday during Tuesday's Morning Joe, twice referring to the Republican Speaker of the House as "little" Mike Johnson.We've documented his multiple boasts about his own toughness, as when Macho Joe threatened to make a Capitol tourist "eat" his camera if Joe found him snapping pics somewhere Scarborough didn't like. And then there was Scarbrough boasting he'd never let anyone "emasculate" him the way Donald Trump supposedly did to J.D. Vance. Just to name a couple of examples. You'll...

"A district the Republicans should have won." That's how, on today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough described yesterday's special election in New York's 3rd district, won by the Democrat, Tom Suozzi, who represented the district from 2017 to 2023, and so was the virtual incumbent in the race. He won the district in 2018 by 59-41 percent, and in 2020 by 56-43. The election was held to fill the seat vacated by serial fabulist Republican George Santos, only the third person since the Civil War to be expelled from the House. There was surely significant voter sentiment wanting to punish Santos...

When Joe Scarborough's time at MSNBC comes to an end, perhaps he could get a gig at a smaller Vegas lounge doing impressions. The notion arises given Scarborough's penchant for imitating the accents of people he seeks to denigrate. Thus, as we have noted, he has put on a heavy southern accent to mock James Comer, who does have a southern accent, and has done the same re Mike Johnson, who doesn't. In doing so, Scarborough propagates the "dumb Southerner" sterotype. Not only false, but odd, coming from a born-and-raised southerner like Scarborough. Today, Scarborough not only made up a...

On today's Morning Joe, a screaming Joe Scarborough [see screencap] harshly condemned Speaker Mike Johnson as a liar and phony Christian for endorsing Trump's opposition to the border bill. Scarborough repeatedly imagined Johnson speaking in a heavy southern accent, though he has none, and made multiple snide references to Johnson's Bible. This, from the quondam conservative who, it was recently revealed, has turned into a Biden phone buddy and frequent adviser. You might call Scarborough a Biden flunky par excellence.As supposed proof of the border bill's conservative bona fides, Scarborough read at length from the Wall Street Journal's editorial board...

Joe Scarborough—recently revealed to be a frequent phone buddy and adviser to Joe Biden—was hard at work on behalf of his man this morning. Morning Joe waited till the end of its first hour to breathe any mention of a new NBC News poll. But even then, Scarborough only discussed the poll's findings showing Americans still dissatisfied about the economy, and expressing much more confidence in Trump's ability to deal with it. There was nary a mention of the headline number of the poll: that among registered voters, Trump is beating Biden by 5 points, his largest lead yet! Get...
