Morning Joe Scum begins with Obama's speech when he introduced the Recovery Act

Then they mention the rage tweet from the Con last night. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Great troll Obama - you got to him with the truth. Joe Scum is now discussing the fact that Obama's economy for the last three years is so much stronger than the Con's.
This is too good

Six of the last ten presidents have had stronger economies, etc. and they then pointed out that the Con is in the last half of the class

the media needs to fact check tRump as he speaks. Why not put the truth right on the TV screen as he lies in real time? Too many people believe what he says, so he keeps on lying.

Is it possible to stop calling the guy "Scum"? I think we can do better than that, let the name calling to people like trump.

Joe Scarborough will always be a conservative, but like democrats, he loves our country. And I think Mika has had a modifying effect on him.

Media people are loathe to admit their mistakes, JS has made plenty. But I think he's trying now.

from him - I don't plan to forget that.
And he never forgets to tell us that the Con is really a Democrat.

I don't think he affected the outcome one bit. The fix was in.

His show has been in trump bashing mode for years now. Or is it a joke I'm missing?

https://apnews.com/77f037f710ff48d4b0a7ef1a9c9bf106/AP-FACT-CHECK:-Scarborough-staffer-death-not-a-%22mystery%22

THE FACTS:

The 2001 death was investigated after Klausutis was found dead in the office. It isn’t considered a mystery.

An autopsy revealed that Klausutis had an undiagnosed heart condition and a coroner concluded she passed out and hit her head as she fell. The coroner said the head injury caused the death, but she wasn’t struck by another person.

The death occurred a month after Scarborough announced he was leaving office. Scarborough was in Washington when Klausutis died.


If you google just her name, the first dozen or more sites that come up are all the exact kind of conspiracy sites that we mock conservatives over believing.

BE BETTER.

....but Scarborough was remarkably cagey at the time.
As for the conspiracy buffs?
Just compare and contrast Gary Condit with Joe Scarborough.

You might want to leave out the insult.

Otherwise you just pretty much negate the compliment you wanted to give.

Just sayin’.

.... in my opinion has atoned for any advocacy of Trump in 2016. If Joe had never been born, and had never spoken a word in 2016, Trump would still be president today.

If anyone here has done anywhere close to what Joe Scarborough has done in the last 3 years to eviscerate Trump, get out the truth about Trump, and sway public opinion against Trump, please stand up and take a bow. I want to know who you are so I can give you a proper thank you for your work.

Even sadder? If Joe Scarborough launched a campaign that was solely responsible for getting a Democrat elected in 2020, and that campaign carried through and was solely responsible for the election or re-election of a Democrat in 2024, there would be people on the left who would be hovering over their computers telling themselves "I know he has a hidden agenda." They would then ask themselves " what's he up to with this long game he's playing?" 🤔😔😔😞
