Joe Scarborough - Morning Joe - "My party is going to straight to Hell!"

[SharonAnn]

I woke up this morning, turned on the TV and it was still on MSNBC. It was just at the beginning of Joe Scarborough's righteous rant and it shocked me that even he is saying this at the top of his voice! Wow!

I don't normally watch this but maybe I should. Scathing about the NATO visit and T's failure to to participate in even the appearance of mutual support. Noted his obsequiousness to the Saudis. A few minutes later he went into the most righteous rant about the GOP (Mulvaney esp.) lying about the impact of the budget, the incredible tax and estate benefits to the super-wealthy (esp. the Waltons). The cuts to Medicaid injuring the "poorest of the poor" and saying over and over that the GOP was lying! He said if this is what you intend to do, embrace it! Don't lie about it! Stop lying!

Maybe I should watch Morning Joe after all!

I could've thought I was watching/listening to Bernie Sanders except I think that Joe was even more angry.

What a wake-up moment this AM.

1. Too little, too late, fuck you Joe

Who cares? You built this.

[Miles Archer]

4. NO difference between Jimmy Fallon playing with Trump's hair and what Joe & Mika did.

For MONTHS they giggled and cooed and nuzzled up to Trump's hind teat.

They did this. They own this.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

7. Yup, Joe can go straight to hell too for helping create this mess... what an ahole!!!

[RKP5637]

2. Joe, should wake the F up and realize his cherished party has changed over the years. n/t

[ananda]

3. I saw this.

Boo fucking hoo.

Joe S was a total enabler for years.

Too little too late.

[beachbum bob]

5. Joe is wrong...that aint going to hell, they are already in hell and serve the dark lord

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. Good point!

[tavernier]

6. I'm all for the truth telling.

Wish he had done it sooner.

[ginnyinWI]

8. GOP completely sold out to billionaires and corporations.

They don't even try to hide it anymore. If Donnie can con his way into the White House, they reason, they can get away with anything! They are emboldened like never before.

[beachbum bob]

10. money power and why we need liberal versions of the Koch brothers and an action plan

to take back our state and local govt. Sitting here whining about this and that serves no purpose. We need a plan and need people to step up

[Blue_true]

19. Actually, we don't need a version of the Koch brothers.

Rich Democrats have values that cause them to shy away from trying to deform government. Why should we copy anarchists? What we need to do is identify and field the brilliant people that we have queuing up to run for office and stop beating the hell out of them when we disagree with a mere 10% of their policy proposals. We need to accept that a Democrst from a deep red state will not see things like a Democrat from a deep blue state, but accept that both have the very same core values about protecting the vulnerable, elderly and well thought out military spending that doesn't just throw money around. We need to field ethical candidates who clearly articulate their policy proposals and campaigns hard, hitting every region of the area that wil vote for them.

[beachbum bob]

33. Koch brothers have dominated in gaining control of state legislatures...

Idealism doesn't win.....money does...and we need liberal versions to fund retaking our country

[JHB]

11. Thank Newt and his 1994 "freshmen"...

...including a guy from Florida named Joey Jojo Shabadoo Scarborough.

This. Is. The. Party. YOU. Built.

[eShirl]

13. THIS!

[OnDoutside]

12. Yet he still got to call both Clintons, liars.....

[DURHAM D]

15. Yep.

Joe just proved he is completely schizophrenic.

[Blue_true]

23. Look, I love Hillary and Bill.

But, we need to accept that both had baggage, much of it completely unearned. When we evaluate out candidates in the primary, we need to pay attention to whether a guy has a problem keeping his pants up, or the politician has lied about something in his or her past or tends to try to keep secrets.

Republicans will NEVER be able to elect another completely gross and incompetent person like Trump, but I am afraid that we will never to elect a competent and effective person like Bill Clinton, who had allegations of sexual predation hanging over his head when he ran. No one can be perfect, but the people that we field need to not have difficult skeletons in their closets.

14. In other news, walking in the rain without an umbrella makes you wet

[radical noodle]

16. Then Joe finishes with Rumsfeld

who is totally up trump's ass and thinks he's doing great.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

17. Screw you, Rumsfeld.

He's on Morning Joe. Needs to go back into the hole he crawled out of and basically giving 45 a pass. Not that I'm surprised.

Also, he's talking about military service and people valuing it. He's got some balls. End of rant.

[NRaleighLiberal]

18. They created hell in America

[spanone]

20. ...and then he has rumsfeld on.....🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

[NightWatcher]

21. When the guy who killed an intern he was screwing says you're going to Hell, listen to him.

[Orsino]

22. "Everybody's finally nticing that my party went straight to Hell!"

Fixed it for him.

[lisa58]

24. Which is why it shouldn't be his party...

Can't watch anymore- thanks for posting

[Trumpocalypse]

25. It has been for years

and with Joe's help. From his vote to impeach Bill Clinton to his lying support for congressional GOPs total obstruction of Obama to his fawning coverage of Trump during the election. He helped build this.

[GeorgeGist]

26. Joe chipped in for the ticket.

[GeorgeGist]

27. Good for ratings though ...

isn't it, Joe?

[oberliner]

28. He helped get Trump elected

Without question.

[IADEMO2004]

29. Followed by GOP ad for AHCA giving "Americans the health care they deserve"

On Directv here. Pay no attention to the numbers just support the smiling lady in the ad and the GOP.

[workinclasszero]

30. You made it all possible Joe Scar

Fuck you republican!

[GoCubsGo]

31. Hey, Dimwit!

Your party has been headed to hell since the late 1880s. You come from a long line of robber baron thieves and traitors. Crack a history book, you idiot.

[Progressive dog]

32. Joe is just worried that Trump wasn't devious enough

and now the GOP won't be able to "save" enough cash for the tax cuts and defense spending that they yearn for.
Joe kept slipping in the digs against the Democrats, including the Trump was a Democrat story. No one is going to believe that the Presidential candidate of the most RW Republican party since Harding and Coolidge ever favored keeping medicare, medicaid, and social security intact. Joe just needs to look at his actions and his budget.
Trump is trying to increase defense spending, like every Republican does, He is even working to chase away our NATO allies so that we can fund everything.

[Quixote1818]

34. If Joe were still in congress he would be right there with them.

He says whatever can get him ahead.
