On Morning Joe, Jeremy Bash, a former chief of staff to Leon Panetta in the Obama-Biden administration turned MSNBC security analyst, says Biden "deserves a lot of the credit," is doing a "phenomenal job" in dealing with the potential Russian invasion of Ukraine, and is handling things "absolutely perfectly."

On Tuesday morning, MSNBC finally got around to covering Special Counsel John Durham's latest filing that revealed Democratic operatives obtained internet data from the Executive Office of the President and other Donald Trump-related entities in an attempt to spin the Russian collusion narrative. Unfortunately, both dismissed it with MSNBC's Morning Joe treating it as a…

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, MSNBC contributor Elise Jordan says it is "shameful, shameful" of Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi telling US Olympians not to protest at the Olympics in China. Richard Haass and Al Sharpton are more tempered in their remarks, saying they "respectfully disagree" with Pelosi's position. Mika Brzezinski makes no comment other than a "wow."

While claiming that he wasn't comparing Joe Biden to Neville Chamberlain, Joe Scarborough says that Chamberlain was so "desperate for peace" that he appeased Hitler, leading to WWII. Scarborough suggested that Biden might also be "desperate for peace" in suggesting at his press conference that Putin ordering a "minor incursion" of Ukraine wouldn't merit a full-blown US response. 

In a speech on voting rights to be delivered in Georgia on Tuesday, Biden boasts, "I will not yield, I will not flinch." He also implicitly accuses Republicans of being domestic "enemies." Stacey Abrams has announced that she won't attend because of a "scheduling conflict,' leading Joe Scarborough to joke about Abrams having an appointment for a car tune-up and tire rotation. 

As Christmas approaches, the network “news” divisions have showered the Bidens with gifts, both NBC and CBS. You didn’t even have to win the presidency to be handed a shiny platter of publicity. On Sunday Today, NBC’s Willie Geist offered 12 minutes of softballs to Hillary Clinton.

On Wednesday, NBC’s Today show swooned over failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton living in an alternate reality where she won the election and delivered a fantasy “victory” speech. The bizarre display was part of the former Secretary of State’s upcoming MasterClass seminar and clips of it will be exclusively featured during a fawning interview with Willie Geist for the…

Singling out Josh Hawley and Mark Meadows by name, on Morning Joe Joe Scarborough accuses Republicans of having their "testicle" in a Donald Trump lockbox.

Morning Joe condemned "progressives," "permissive" prosecutors, and "latte liberals" for their soft-on-crime philosophy. The panel harshly condemned the low bail that led to the release of Darrell Brooks in Waukesha, Wisconsin, just 11 days before he allegedly killed five people and injured scores of others. The panel expressed similar outrage for the lax policies in cities like…

Morning Joe recognizes that the admission by a prosecution witness that he drew first before being shot by Kyle Rittenhouse represents a huge blow to the case against him. First came reporter Gabe Gutierrez, who said that: "especially during cross-examination, the witnesses bolstered Rittenhouse’s claim of self-defense." Next was Mika Brzezinski, who said that Rittenhouse "…

On Morning Joe, Willie Geist stopped short of stamping his feet. But he was clearly miffed that the Virginia governor's race is close--with one recent poll even showing Republican Glenn Youngkin with a lead. Pinch-hitting for Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, Geist demanded of Democrat VA Sen. Tim Kaine—Hillary's failed 2016 running mate—to know why the race is close despite…

On Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle, says he wants to "see Steve Bannon—in handcuffs—brought to the Capitol and forced to testify under oath [before the January 6th committee.] Period!" Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough promptly second Barnicle's suggestion. 

Appearing on NBC’s Sunday Today, Meet the Press host Chuck Todd desperately hoped that Donald Trump would somehow take the media “spotlight” off of “the Democratic Party’s problems” leading into the 2022 midterm elections. He gleefully referred to the former Republican president as “the single greatest asset the Democratic Party has right now.”
