I literally knew that Morning JoeScum would start with the Con saying that the

[malaise]

'1917' pandemic ended WW2 - he's ignorant of history, he's ignorant of government...

[Nexus2]

1. Morning JoeScum?

[jayschool2013]

16. Didn't you know

It's cool around here to demonize "the media," aka "M$Greedia."

Join the club. It's fun to call names!!

[niyad]

19. Soooooo. . .acccurately describing, in a clever and witty way, is "demonizing"? Got it.

[jayschool2013]

21. I guess

We'll just have to disagree on what's witty and clever.

Malaise is certainly a more popular and prolific poster on here than I am.

Peace.

17. Welcome to DU. Joe Scarborough, on msnbc. Republican, but nailing the traitorous murderer.

[lunatica]

33. Yes.

He’s had that nickname here for years. Most of us agree with it, though he seems to have seen a glimmer of light with Trump. Probably because Trump once said Mica had blood dripping off her face from a facelift and that it was gross.

[avebury]

2. Did Trump really say that? nt

[Ilsa]

4. Yeah, he did.

During an eventful press briefing on Monday, President Donald Trump incorrectly claimed that in 1917 the Spanish flu "probably ended the Second World War."

World War II began more than two decades after the pandemic.
The president probably meant to refer to World War I, the final months of which overlapped with the deadly spread of the flu, which also began in the summer of 1918, not 1917.

The deployment of troops during World War I most likely contributed to the spread of the 1918 flu because of crowded conditions and intercontinental movement, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

3. Nice cut to Animal House too. "Don't stop him he's on a roll"

[Botany]

13. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Prelaw vs premed .... old school

[malaise]

22. LOL

[brewens]

5. I knew the difference between WWI and WWII by the second grade. My grandfather served in WWI,

my dad WWII. Of course Trump never had any family serve in anything but the KKK. That was my reply to a FB post about this.

23. Then ear sis he would seal his

bird beak shaped mouth

[underpants]

7. I hadn't heard about this until this morning

I thought it was going to be him being swept away by Secret Service.

1917 I was just shaking my head and then I thought I heard WWII. What? Did he just...then the young Senator Blutarsky speech.

[Voltaire2]

8. It was a factor in the end of WWI.

Not a huge factor, but it helped.

[SMoss]

12. Factor in ending

It wasn't a factor in ending the war. I studied WWI. However it caught hold in the atrocious trenches and hospitals. Then the soldiers returning home to places like S Africa, Australia, and the US took it with them and made it a pandemic.

[Voltaire2]

32. Approximately 900,000 German soldiers

were sick from it at a point in time when Germany’s war capabilities were collapsing from multiple resource problems including of course, troops. Let’s put it this way: it didn’t help.

[quickesst]

9. Using someone....

....you think of as scum to validate the OP. How.....ironic.

Personally, it pleases me that people like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Claire McCaskill, Eric Swalwell, Al Sharpton, and I could go on, do not share your characterization and appreciates the platform Morning Joe provides for the Democratic Party and it's spokespersons.

I think quitting the Republican Party, becoming an independent, and spending 5 days a week, 3 hours a day, over the last almost four years surgically eviscerating don the con is more that enough to atone for his past.

[SMoss]

10. More than ignorant

I don't understand the Joe Scum reference.
MF45 is more than ignorant. He can't learn. He made this stupid mistake several weeks ago. His stupid point was that the pandemic that killed 5 million did something good. He thinks it ended a war. Wrong, it came at the close of the war. In a way the war made it a pandemic. But he didn't learn from his ignorant statement. Several weeks later he repeated the mistake and made it worse.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. He held the Bible to his head, like Karnak

and the info just flowed into the vacuum

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. That could've caused a brush fire.

[rpannier]

14. I thought Frederick Douglass' Battle Victory at Bowling Green that ended the war

Or was that the American Revolution? War of the Roses?
I'm certain he rode a Harley into battle

[Gidney N Cloyd]

18. He rode a Harley with George Washington when they took over the airports.

[rpannier]

28. That's right

One if by land
Two if by sea
Three if by air

[Ligyron]

20. Yup, more and more people are recognizing him for all that as we ponder his next move ...

[malaise]

25. You win the thread

[niyad]

24. Dear Goddess, I nearly spit out my coffee reading your OP.

[malaise]

26. Hey you

[niyad]

27. Good morning and how are you? Your OP is the first thing I read this morning. My head hurts!

[malaise]

30. That should hurt all heads

He's dumb as a rock - a raving lunatic

29. "Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had."

I've noticed over the many years that I've been listening to your program that you're always ready to slap the terms "moron" and "idiot" on each other. What occurred to me was that, although many people use these names rather wantonly, few actually know what they mean. So, I took it upon myself to enlighten society with a Treatise on the Difference Between the Moron and the Idiot.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines "moron" as "a person regarded as very stupid," and "idiot" as "a foolish or stupid person."The difference should be quite apparent at this point. An idiot actually is stupid, while a moron is just thought of as stupid.

The question arises: can a person be both? When you call someone an idiot, you are saying he is stupid. But this also conjures up the moron part of things, which requires that you regard someone as very stupid. It appears that a person, having been called an idiot, has also inadvertently been called a moron. And from this, it seems that it would be impossible to call someone an idiot without calling that person a moron. But let's come in from the other angle here. If you call someone a moron, you are just saying that he is regarded as very stupid. You are NOT saying that he is, in fact, stupid, but just that he is regarded as stupid. So, in calling a person a moron, you can rest assured that you are not inadvertently calling him something which he may not be. From this, it appears that the answer to our question is yes, a person can be both, but only if the primary assumption is that he is an idiot. All idiots are morons, but not all morons are idiots.
