Joe Scarborough going to bat for Trump this morning

[oberliner]

Has a legal expert talking about how this isn't actually a Muslim ban. How the public has got it wrong. Judge isn't going to be persuaded by a hashtag. That sort of thing.

[Trumpocalypse]

1. Joey and MEka have always been Trump sychopants

Nothing new here.

[PCIntern]

2. He's probably got their hotel records and photos nt

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

3. You should watch Chris Cuomo on CNN

He's excellent.

[Cha]

4. What's he talking about? Ty

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

7. The legality of Trump's muslim ban and Steve Bannon issue a couple of minutes ago

eom

[Cha]

9. Thank you.. so it's un-Constitutional, right?

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

16. Yeah

Chris Cuomo is a lawyer too, so he always has really good, honest, fact based discussions.

[Cha]

22. I would think he would be exponentially better

than the joe&mika show

Thank you.. I stopped watching in Nov 2002.. all m$m

[Lochloosa]

14. illegality...you misspelled it.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

18. I copied exactly what the banner heading was on the TV

eom

[Lochloosa]

21. I was being sarcastic. Get's me in trouble all the time.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

24. Probably because it didn't come across as you intended it to

If I'm being honest with you it just came across like you were insulting me and I was very tempted to throw some shade your way.

When using sarcasm online it's good to end your comment with /sarcasm off or something.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

29. It was funny. And pretty easily interpreted.

No trouble by you.

[oberliner]

5. CNN gets on my nerves

As does MSNBC for that matter.

But I know people who think highly of Joe Scarborough, so I try to keep abreast of what he is saying.

To be honest, it's hard to watch/listen to any of these stations, especially with all the commercial breaks and insipid advertising teasers.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

8. A lot of people on this site switched to Chris Cuomo instead

Because he is consistently a really good journalist and he doesn't piss them off, lol.

[oberliner]

13. I'll check him out

Thanks for the recommendation.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

20. You're welcome

I think you will find him far less frustrating. Now they are talking about how Trump didn't mention Jews in Holocaust Rememerance statement.

[oberliner]

23. The not mentioning Jews in the Holocaust statement has Bannon's fingerprints all over it

Part of the alt-right white supremacist playbook.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

25. Yep, I agree

Congress really needs to get that clown out of the White House. He has no business there.

[Alpeduez21]

28. Title 50 of US code 3021

No one can serve on the NSC without the advice and consent of congress. Trump is in clear violation of the constitution as Bannon has not been vetted by the Senate.

[Ilsa]

26. They are all irritating, but

CC in the morning is much better than JS. Keep remote handy for muting.

[Mike Nelson]

6. They always try to help...

...Trump. Good soldiers at Morning Joe & Mika. They always give progressives a little sugar with their rat poison, too.

[Cha]

10. LOL.. a little sugs with their shit sammich

[dem4decades]

11. Why get your blood pressure up

That early in the morning watching those shills. At less Fox is honest in their bias.

[oberliner]

12. Now they have moved on to defending Bannon

And the role he has been given.

[PA Democrat]

15. I refuse to give Morning Joe any help with their ratings

Word is they have horrific ratings. Hopefully they will be cancelled and replaced by someone who reports FACTS and not Trump's lies.

[oberliner]

17. Their ratings have been strong

Not sure where you heard otherwise.

[Ilsa]

27. Posted on DU a few days ago that their

ratings were slipping badly. Too many don't want to hear him aplligizing for trumputin.

[FSogol]

30. I saw that posted on DU also, but it isn't true.

America. Morning Joe blows.

[boston bean]

19. Turn them off.

[UTUSN]

31. Yeah, he framed it as "MANAGEMENT" problem, not "POLICY".

The Morning SCABS crew are WITH him all the time, despite crumbs of mealy-mouthed quibbling. They started out every segment, “LEAVING ASIDE the (totally unAmerican and unConstitutional parts)...” while going on to spend the rest of the whole segment JUSTIFYING all the DRUMPF crap. So there was NO discussion of the unAmerican and unConstitutional parts.

And Jonathan TURLEY has been on all shows backing up the legal side for DRUMPF.

[Adrahil]

32. Looking at their ratings, you seem to be the only one watching.

SAD!

[dalton99a]

33. +1. Scarborough is scum.

[tavernier]

34. I'm surprised those two egos can coexist.

They both are smarter than anyone else on the planet according to themselves.
