On Morning Joe, lamenting Biden's departure from the race, Mika Brzezinski three times extols his "touch." For millions of Americans, a mention of Biden's "touch" brings to mind unsettling images.  Joe Scarborough speaks of the Democratic establishment having repeatedly "shit" on Biden.

With President Biden’s Wednesday Covid diagnosis and growing questions about his competence taking top billing over the Republican National Convention on Thursday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC didn’t mince words in burying Biden by observing this “coordinated” push by other Democrats to force him out was reminiscent of a famous scene from A Few Good Men and deployed a term they’d repeatedly…

Morning Joe knew "for a long time" that Biden was losing, but it continued to claim that he was doing well, discounting any negative polls. It does put a final nail in the coffin of any pretensions Joe Scarborough might have had of being anything other than an all-in Biden lackey and hack.

Joe Scarborough scolds the NBC suits, essentially accusing them of lying, for having yanked Morning Joe off the air on Monday, July 15th, the first scheduled episode of the show after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Scarborough ends by saying that if the suits try that again, "they can find someone else to host the show."

On Morning Joe, MSNBC reporter Ali Vitali twice uses the d-word, for "despair," to describe the mood of congressional Democrats over the dilemma as to whether Biden should remain the nominee or step aside.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough says that Dems are saying that behind the scenes, Barack Obama is orchestrating the movement to push Biden out of the race. Willie Geist cites a Politico column saying that George Clooney gave Obama a heads-up on his NY Times op-ed calling on Biden to get out, and that Obama didn't object. Mika Brzezinski suggests that Obama actually put Clooney up to writing…

On Monday of this week, in the wake of Biden's disastrous debate performance, Mika Brzezinski repeatedly claimed, as we noted here, that she wasn't close to calling on him to quit the race, and to the contrary, believed that he is still the "man for the moment." But what a difference two days make. On Wednesday's Morning Joe, Mika didn't make a peep of protest in response to an avalanche of…

On MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele calls the New York Times "ignorant" for calling on Biden to quit in light of his debate debacle. Co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend says, "If I was the Biden people, I'd be keeping a list, honey, because it was way too many people ready to jump."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough stages a counterattack on a Wall Street Journal article suggesting that Pres. Biden "shows signs of slipping." Scarborough claims that Biden is "light years ahead" of other leaders on foreign policy, ignoring the fact that Biden in just the past months claimed to have spoken with two foreign leaders who had been dead for years. 

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough displayed religious illiteracy by declaring an evangelical leader guilty of "depravity" and "straight-out blasphemy" for his support of Donald Trump. Willie Geist agreed it was "blasphemy."

On Morning Joe, Macho Joe Scarborough says that if he were the judge in Trump's hush money case, he would jail Trump for contempt and bring him in and out if court in shackles.

On Morning Joe, in the course of a segment devoted to criticizing Justice Samuel Alito for permitting an upside-down American flag to be flown at his house, Joe Scarborough accuses Alito of having leaked the draft Dobbs opinion, which overturned Roe v. Wade.

Morning Joe mocks an NFT superhero series card of Donald Trump in a bomber jacket, ignoring the fact that both Joe Biden and Barack Obama have made public appearances in bomber jackets.

On Morning Joe, MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos says that Stormy Daniels' testimony in Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York state court could be a major basis to appeal and overturn any possible conviction, because it was too prejudicial to Trump.
