Morning Joe

It’s no secret that Democrats are very disappointed that the Mueller Report did not give them the smoking gun that would finally end the Trump presidency. Instead, they have been forced to expand their search in the continuing efforts to remove the President from office.  

Last Friday, President Trump announced via Twitter that his administration reached an agreement with Mexico in an attempt to stem the tide of illegal immigration through the southern border. This rescinded the administration’s threat of tariffs if the Mexicans refused to take more concrete action to prevent influxes of migrants from illegally entering the U.S. through their country. All told, it…

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough jokes about Paul Manafort being incarcerated at the infamous hellhole of Rikers Island in NYC. And thus it was that on today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough joked about Paul Manfort being confined at Rikers Island, which has been described as a "hellhole," as here, here, and  "the most notorious jail in America."

On Thursday, Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden flipped like an Olympic gymnast. Speaking at an event in Atlanta, the former Vice President reversed his decades-long support for the Hyde Amendment, the federal law prohibiting use of federal taxpayer money to fund abortions. It was a stunning reversal that came just 24 hours after his campaign reaffirmed his support for the amendment…

Thursday is the 75th anniversary of D-Day, which was one of the most consequential military victories in world history. MSNBC, overall, took a break from its daily crusade against the Trump administration in order to honor the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Morning Joe, however, just couldn’t help itself.  

NBC correspondent Heidi Przybyla was on the Wednesday edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe to talk about her article detailing former Vice President Joe Biden's record on abortion. The newsworthy information contained in her article was that Biden has flipped back to supporting the Hyde Amendment after saying "It can't stay" a couple of weeks ago.

Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Willie Geist offer surprising praise of President Trump's speech on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of D-Day, calling it "really good, terrific," and the "most powerful speech" he's given as POTUS.

President Trump has spent the first part of the week on a official state visit in the United Kingdom in anticipation of Thursday’s anniversary of D-Day. His bilateral meeting today with outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May has sparked many journalists to comment on the state of affairs between the two countries, with some arguing that what has been called the “special relationship” is dead…

Guest hosting Morning Joe, Willie Geist suggests that the Democrats' decision to call John Dean—former star Watergate witness against Richard Nixon—to testify at next week's House Judiciary Committee hearing "add[s] to President Trump’s argument that it's just a big a clown show." 

You may remember Claire McCaskill as the Senator from Missouri who lucked her way to re-election in 2012 by having Todd Akin as her opponent and whose final pitch to the voters in her 2018 re-election campaign was “I’m not one of those crazy Democrats.” She would go down to lose to now-Senator Josh Hawley by six points in 2018. Well, the former Senator has now found a home as an NBC News…

President Trump is visiting the United Kingdom and France this week to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Instead of focusing on the events honoring the heroes who died liberating Europe from tyranny, MSNBC is using the occasion to hurl insults at President Trump for his tumultuous relationship with the British government and the royal family.

On Friday's Morning Joe, director and actor Rob Reiner claimed that there were "piles of evidence of collusion" in the Mueller Report.  Yet in the video for Now This that Reiner directed there is not a word about collusion in the Mueller Report. In fact, it focuses solely on obstruction of justice for a crime that neither Reiner nor the Mueller Report provided any evidence even happened.

An entertaining catfight among Trump antagonists broke out on today's Morning Joe over the best way to go after the President. Branding maven Donny Deutsch said Dems should drop talk of impeachment, calling it a losing term. Instead, he recommended that they rebrand the matter as "criminal activity," and constantly talk about "Trump criminal." In the other corner, championing impeachment, was…

On Wednesday night, controversy broke over President Trump’s Memorial Day Weekend visit to Japan when Wall Street Journal White House reporter Rebecca Ballhaus tweeted that the White House wanted the U.S.S. John McCain “out of sight” for Trump’s visit. She also reported that “a tarp was hung over the ship’s name” and that sailors “who wear caps bearing the ship’s name were given the day off.” It…
