It's hilarious watching Morning Joe freak out about Trump's abuse of power

Hillary voters saw all of this coming. It's just amazing that all of those so called patriots in the republican party have just sat back and watched him shit on the constitution.

gave trump legitimacy..fed his ego, turned him into a a viable candidate, glossed over his sexual assaults, his bankruptcies, his mafia connections, and imbued him with something he has never had...a soul...so now their creation is viciously going after Joe and the press ...I say this...you got what you wanted...ratings.. and America got screwed..happy?

What other candidate received (or even CONSIDERED TAKING) such largesse from a candidate for President???

Do they think we've forgotten?

figure that folks like you and me are a lost cause but that's OK because they have new viewers all the time so why should they care?

Some day one of their interviewees will have the balls to say "Um, you two were down at Mar a Lago, what was it like?" Then the game is up...

"so would trump still be a your party buddy if he hadn't said something about your nip and tuck?"..."do you really think you have a right to go all self-righteous on Joe Biden regarding the Tara Reade bogus sexual assault claim when in fact you two were having an affair while married to others?"..."as to your unrelenting Hillary's email non-story garbage, can you think of one moment in the last 3 plus years when your former pal didn't lie, cheat, steal, extort, humiliate, insult, threaten, destroy everything the United States used to stand for?...and as a follow up "why are you not serving penance in Hell for validating this violent abusive depraved narcissistic sociopathic sexual predator?"...cut to commercial

before I forgive your part in the destruction of my country. The majority of the people saw what Hillary saw and so did you but you chose to back the evil clown show for "some" reason. Bye now.

Nothing they (the mainstream media) do will ever make up for the harm they did to this country for whitewashing the orangeanus and vilifying Mrs Clinton.

How long it will take for this country (maybe the world) to recover from the harm brought by tRump and his gang has been debated to death. We won’t know that horrific number until it happens. But Joe and Mika played a huge role in how we got here and can’t just renounce the Republican Party and start bad mouthing tRump and think they’re clean and pure. The very least they could do is start each show with 15 minutes of apologies and self flagellation with a barbed whip. And that’s just for starters.

But seriously, there is little they can do to make up for the harm but it would be an attempt to convey real remorse. It just makes me wonder if they really feel remorse or they are just trying to ease a very guilty conscience. It is a whole easier to sleep at night if you’re not wrestling with guilt.

these outlets go with the flow. If they "can" stay right of center they will certainly do so. If public opinion moves too much in one directions, they will adjust to go with it.

In earlier years, I’d get on the treadmill in the morning and watch Keith Olberman, CNN, MSNBC, and whatever political shows of my leaning were on the television. At the time, I was just becoming drawn in to the sphere of politics.

As time went on, I found myself souring to Scarborough. I can’t stand his relentless prattling on and on, talking for five minutes just to ask a question that anybody could answer, constantly shutting down Mika like she’s a Republican or something, and more content to listening to himself babble.

If I want to listen to someone rag on and on, I’ll just do something stupid around the house and let my loving wife of 50 years take it from there. (Much deserved on my part, dear)
