I don't care what he says now, I will NEVER forgive him for gushing over the most incompetent, idiotic ASSHOLE in the history of American politics. On a DAILY BASIS.
Morning JERK OFF. Fuck him.

(63,926 posts)He acknowledged those who said Joe gave Trump a platform on Morning Joe. He said loudly "GUILTY!"
I was surprised, but at least he acknowledged that he was PART OF THE PROBLEM. So either he had been reading what DUers were saying, or it was something that he had to live with, he manned up to it. Cold comfort, I know, but there it is.

(63,926 posts)I don't know what her dad thought about the somewhat, um, disgraceful way they carried on secretly until they finally "got engaged" and then got married with Elijah Cummings presiding at their ceremony.

(11,760 posts)Joe did what many conservatives do when their ideology leads to acts like what the insurrectionists did and what the Republicans in Congress are doing in defending or not acting on it. He is trying to divorce conservatism from the actions taken by conservatives. Classic "No true Scotsman" fallacy.
Sorry but Scarborough supported the Republican party that allowed Reagan to get away with going behind the back of the Carter Administration and disrupt negotiations to free the hostages in Iran for political gain. The same party that sold weapons illegally to a "State sponsor of Terrorism" as a result of that crooked deal. Furthermore, the administration that funded right wing death squads illegally, in Central America. Republicans backed GW Bush when he invaded Iraq, who had nothing to do with 911, and engaged in a war based on lies.
Scarborough served with no apparent problems, under Newt Gingrich and Dennis Hastert. Gingrich being the progenitor of the recalcitrant conservative Republican we see today, and we know what became of Hastert.
Yes he is taking the current, vile model of Republicans to task, but he is conveniently failing to talk about HOW the Republican Party became what it is today. It didn't start in 2015 with Trump. It started with Nixon, Ailes, and Buchanan in the 1960's. It spread when Ford (for the sake of unity) pardoned Nixon. It metastasized with Reagan, whom stodgy blue blood GHW Bush called a fool. It continued with Bush Jr. and lead to the absolutely natural endpoint of Trump. That is what conservatives become when they are allowed to get away with their lies and their crimes.
