Who you gonna believe: Joe Scarborough or your lyin' eyes? The opening segment of Morning Joe was devoted to the panel making the collective claim that, the evidence notwithstanding, Joe Biden is not just "sharp," but in the words of Eugene Robinson, "sharp as a tack."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said that he spoke with many Democrats after the indictment of Donald Trump on Tuesday, and "every Democrat was disappointed" by the indictment that DA Alvin Bragg had put together. Scarborough then switched to a long riff about how Trump could and should be threatened with jail for contempt of court in light of his statements about Bragg, the judge in the case…

On Thursday's Morning Joe on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough blustered that Ron DeSantis could not hope to win the GOP nomination unless he skips all debates with golden-tongued Donald Trump. 

Just prior to and after Monday’s late press conference from Nashville law enforcement on the deadly school shooting at Covenant School, MSNBC’s Deadline: White House was running on all cylinders and fueled by a disturbing penchant for incitement on their part of their audience against conservatives. Among the charges leveled, panelists blamed conservatives and Republicans for the shooting,…

John Heileman was reduced to parroting "Non-responsive!" over and over again when he was shocked that Russell Brand could provide examples MSNBC's bias.

In a discussion of presidential health, on the day after Joe Biden got a "clean bill of health" from his doctor, Joe Scarborough mocks Ronny Jackson, Donald Trump's White House doctor during his presidency, for saying that genetics explain Trump's good health despite his poor diet and lack of exercise. John Heilemann, a confirmed liberal and Trump antagonist, surprisingly sticks up for Jackson…

A babbling MSNBC analyst with a history of Trump Derangement Syndrome is in no place to throw the word “addiction” at legitimate concerns of government reaching into American kitchens.

Morning Joe gleefully devotes its opening segment to the exposure of the multiple resumé lies of Republican Congressman-elect George Santos. The show highlights a New York Daily News editorial calling on Santos to resign. Joe Biden has told a multitude of lies about his background. But naturally, Morning Joe never suggests that he should resign, instead chalking the Santos…

On MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, fill-in host John Heilemann and guest Kurt Andersen teamed up Tuesday to ridicule former Vice President Mike Pence as a “wimp and a pussy” after Pence uttered the objectively true statement that an indictment of former President Trump would be “terribly divisive in the country at a time when the American people want to see us heal.”

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and John Heilemann agree that the prospects of a Republican 'red wave' in the midterms are "gone" because of the 'political poison' of Donald Trump. 

On Friday's Deadline: White House, MSNBC analyst (and long-ago chairman of the Republican National Committee) Michael Steele dramatically warned that Sen. Chuck Grassley demonstrated the Republican "infection" when he objected to a much more aggressive Internal Revenue Service marching out to audit small businesses.

The pen ink wasn’t even dry on the so-called Inflation Reduction Act that President Biden signed into law before MSNBC started hyping the legislation and praising the Democrats’ “marketing branding genius.” Moments after Biden signed the bill into law, on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House frequent MSNBC guest Maria Teresa Kumar gushed over how smart her party was for the name they chose…

Instead of throwing continued temper tantrums over the overturning of Roe v. Wade and other recent SCOTUS decisions, the crew of Wednesday’s Morning Joe wanted to continue distracting Americans with the political soap opera currently in production by the House January 6 Committee. And how desperate were they? Well, to the point that co-host Joe Scarborough engaged in some…

With the push for gun control still going strong and January 6 hearings coming up, there are a lot of hot topics of discussion going on in the political world. In addition to that some things just never change, and MSNBC verbally bashing the GOP is one of those things. “Crazy, MAGA, mania!” is what MSNBC contributors John Heilemann and Donny Deutsch ever-so creatively came up with on Friday’s…
