Talk about having a potty mouth! With Joe Scarborough leading the [dis]charge, the Morning Joe crew mentioned "toilets" no fewer than 14 times in its six opening minutes today. We've talked before about Scarborough getting on his "hobbyhorse" and riding a favorite phrase into the ground. But this morning, it's more apt to describe Scarborough mounting his . . . commode. Morning Joe was making…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough summoned up  sympathy, if not for the devil, at least for Vladimir Putin. Scarborough's argued that we need to respect Russia's need for secure borders, and that "Ukraine is a knife that cuts right into the heart of Russia!" He suggested that we consider how the US would feel if Russia signed a mutual security pact with Mexico.

On Morning Joe, Washington Post editor/columnist says of a potential invasion of Ukraine ordered by Putin: "He's also going to face a guerrilla warfare, extended partisan warfare in Ukraine. There -- I counted 400,000 people who've received some kind of militia training. There are a million guns floating around Ukraine. I mean, it's a place where it’d be hard to subdue the population…

MSNBC launched right out of President Biden’s speech at the United Nations with praise from “objective” newspaper journalists about it hit the “all the right notes,” that “you couldn’t get the words, the sheet of music much better than this.”

Morning Joe defended General Milley this morning. Promising to tip off China to any attack ordered by President Trump? Why, that's "helpful." Milley "didn't do anything wrong." In fact, "we owe him a debt of thanks!" The only "problem" is that Constitution thingy!  Said David Ignatius of the Washington Post: "The problem is, and I think every single thing that was done by those three people,…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough uses the great work of the American military, invokes the spirit of 9/11, and the generosity of Americans welcoming Afghan refugees, to deflect criticism from President Biden over his Afghanistan fiasco. Scarborough says he is "really proud" of America, and offers not a word of blame for Biden.

Appearing on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday, Washington Post columnist and associate editor David Ignatius sympathized with “shell-shocked” White House staffers for which the catastrophe in Afghanistan has “been really, really difficult.” The concern for the emotional well being of top Biden aides came amid discussion of the President’s disastrous ABC interview in which he…

Despite his multiple gaffes at the G-7 summit in Cornwall, UK, Morning Joe bills President Biden as "calm" and the "strong leader" of the alliance. 

Apparently shocked and saddened by Thursday night’s breaking news that President Trump tested positive for COVID-19, leftist media hosts began seeking some sort of silver lining in which to take comfort.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough alleges that if President Trump loses re-election, he might sell the "crown jewels" of US intel in order to pay off his business debts. He based this on a chat with his brother-in-law Mark Brzezinski, a former Obama campaign adviser, and Biden fundraiser!
