The opening segment of the December 23 Morning Joe was one — interminable — tongue bath for Joe Biden. On everything from the omicron variant to the supply chain, to inflation, the panel lavished praise on Ol' Saint Joe. The praise reached its absurd apotheosis with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski twice -- joking-not-joking -- speaking of a "Christmas miracle." Scarborough ended…

Suddenly so forgiving, that Joe Scarborough! On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough admitted that last week, he felt the Biden administration had "terribly botched" things regarding Covid testing. But on second thought . . . nope! Don't blame Biden for botching the availability of testing. Because . . . testing isn't necessary! Opined "Doctor" Scarborough: "You don’t need a test! We have just…

Morning Joe was in no mood today to give Donald Trump credit for his vigorous advocacy of the COVID vaccine during an interview with Candace Owens. Nope: it was just a nefarious ploy, with an eye to 2024, to win back the suburbs.

Joe Scarborough was back on his anti-social-media hobbyhorse again on today's Morning Joe. He and the panel were reacting to items in the news: the testimony of Instagram's CEO yesterday before a Senate committee, and an advisory from the Surgeon General warning about a mental health crisis among young people. Scarborough's solution was to hold social media companies like Instagram liable for…

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…

In the aftermath of Democratic Senator Chris Murphy putting on the spectacle of accusing Republicans of hypocrisy in response to the school shooting in Michigan, several MSNBC hosts seized on the speech and used it to peddle anti-gun misinformation.

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.

When Donald Trump was president, Joe Scarborough ceaselessly mocked him for his overly-optimistic predictions at the beginning of the pandemic as to when Covid would be gone. Among other things, Scarborough endlessly repeated Trump's erroneous forecast that Covid would be gone "by April." Scarborough's repetitions of those lines became such a running joke on Morning Joe, that the show devoted…

Morning Joe to the rescue to lift Democrat spirits! Today's panel went out of its way to praise Nancy Pelosi as one of the "most successful" Speakers ever. This despite the prospect of her presiding, in 2022, over the loss of Dem House seats counted in the dozens. And Biden's catastrophic poll numbers? Happy days will soon be here again, assures the Morning Joe panel. Covid and inflation will…

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 "appears to…

Morning Joe was baying for Steve Bannon's blood this morning, demanding that the Justice Department prosecute him for refusing to testify before Congress.

Ten, fifteen years from now, if people get away with this now, we're…

While Democrats try to dig out from their electoral disaster on Tuesday, Morning Joe has come up with an explanation for Biden's unpopularity, which dragged Dems down across the country: it's Trump's fault!
