15 seconds with Joe Scarborough about an hour ago. That was all I could stomach.

He was shaking his head and talking about what a tragedy the shooting of Ms. Good was.
FUCK YOU Joe you helped to make this all possible with your work on bush v Gore in
Florida 2000. No bush v Gore means no stopping the count and Al Gore would have
been rightfully made President. No President w would have meant no Supreme Court
Justices Roberts or Alito which would have meant no President Trump either time and
no President Trump would have meant no ICE agents in Minneapolis yesterday and no
ICE agents would have meant that Ms. Good would not have been MURDERED driving her
car in her neighborhood.

Btw no President w would meant no:
9-11
War in Afghanistan
War in Iraq
Ohio 2004
huge refugee crisis in the Middle East
creation of ISIS
Dick Cheney becoming a billionaire off of the Department of Defense no bid contracts.
and so on.

It took me seconds to find the remote as Joe was acting all upset and shaking his head
over Good’s murder.

Zero tolerance for either of those magats.

Maybe designate a place for your remote so you aren't subjected to this again?

Let us all remember that Joe let DJT on his show (over the phone usually)lambast Obama and various others in government endlessly because NBC wanted Trump promoted and his show promoted. The people (including Stern) who gave this deplorable excuse for a bag of excrement a soapbox to help their ratings, his ratings are enablers. Lifestyles of the Rich and Infamous includes human trafficking. Who'd thunk?

Joe S. came on when I turned the set on this AM to watch the weather channel. I only saw
about 15 to 30 seconds before I found the remote to switch it to the weather channel. Joe’s
act bothered me so much that after an hour and half I felt the need to post about it.

for sure
Maybe more comprehensive healthcare
Still have RoevWade
Ukraine victorious
A million or so more Americans surviving Covid
Someone doing something about the income gap

This only scratches the surface

Mika told him to get over to the table and sit down. He did it after the third request.

2 reasons:

1) They Cheat.

2) 35 % of Americans are sexist, racist, anti intellectual, Christo Fascist, and generationally/
societally stupid. Example …. millions of Americans support that Trump had the portrait of
Robert E Lee put back up @ West Point. The man who led the violent insurrection in order to
to end the United States so human beings could be kept as slaves because God made them
black so they were inferior to white people.

Two ass kissing Trump humpers playing around as being Dems or at least middle ground.I read the other day he was mouthing off about what a huge mistake it was not to steal Iraqi oil and we shouldn't make that same mistake with Venezuela.

Those two should have their show taken off the air by MSNOW.........

People change, and it's usually alright to accept that at face value.
Should we still shame Liz Cheney, Former rep Joe Walsh, and George Conway, or accept that they're now fighting on our side against a brutal dictator?

I myself voted for Ronald Reagan the first term but realized my error before his 2nd year and never voted for another republican. Is all this mess my fault? Should I be sentenced to the back pew with the other sinners, or are we all on the same side now?

It's obvious Scarborough has been influenced by Mika and changed his views. A spouse can do that to a person.

If they took the time to explain how the last 25 years tie to the present day, they can't shorten American attention spans to the point where people automatically forget who to hold responsible for the present condition.

They were so popular, so I tried to watched the show a few times:
but the bashing/by her and the pontificating/by him.
I remember thinking, they are so bad and
wondering, who are they to have a show.
