I listened to part of Morning Joe this morning and has he lost his mind? He was going on about college students demonstrating for #Hamas. What is his major malfunction? I know he's a conservative but yuck. The students are demonstrating against obvious Israeli gov't war crimes & their schools' various types of ties to Israel & the war. Joe Scarborough's biases make him sound like a liar or an idiot. Giving the Israeli gov't a pass isn't a moral good.
After yesterday’s shocking performance by the Supreme Court, Chris Matthews, on Morning Joe, makes an impassioned plea to defend democracy—now, Friday April 26 2024.
"#MorningJoe" co-host #Joe_Scarborough dropped the hammer on #US House Speaker #MikeJohnson (R-LA) early Monday morning after the #GOP leader announced his opposition to a proposed #Senate border bill just hours after it was released
It's obvious to me that a second #Trump presidency would destroy American #democracy - which is, at the moment, on shaky ground. We are in the throes of a global battle against #authoritarianism and #fascism, and each of us must actively choose the path we want for ourselves and future generations.
📌📌 I'll be posting relevant links in this ongoing Democracy Thread. >>
1/3 (Morning Joe, 11/13/23) Over #VeteransDay weekend, in both social media posts and at a #rally, Trump vowed to "root out the communists, marxists, fascists, and radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country," and goes on to say that "the threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within."
3/3 Tomasky: "...but it is especially associated with #Germany, the 1930's, the #Nazi regime, and the #ThirdReich...for [Trump] to use that word..it dehumanizes them and tells his audience 'it's okay to do to these people whatever we want to do to them - they're not human."
He notes that the word, vermin, was historically used to #dehumanize Jews in cartoons, etc., and Trump is using it to encompass all perceived opponents - which he considers very dangerous.
-Gaza was GIVEN to the Palestinians in 2005 to bring peace.
-The following year Hamas won a majority of seats in legislature, formed a govt and began their rule of terror upon the Palestinian people.
-Hamas is a terrorist org propped up by Iran which in turns means Putin.
-Sec of State Blinken's remarks today as amazing as #PresidentBiden's - glad he again reiterated to Bibi - to inflict as little damage as possible to Palestinian citizens
As always, I’ll live thread as best I can. As always, I read your replies but can’t reply back while live-threading, so I “like” to acknowledge. (I don’t want people feeling like I’m ignoring)

Ex-Deutsche risk manager Nicholas Haigh's testimony resumes this morning in #Trump's civil fraud case — and Allen #Weisselberg may return later. #legal
I got my hopes up that #MSNBC's #MorningJoe Let them knnow how you feel was finally starting to shift their approach when my wife brought up their discussion on how the media should handle Trump's coverage, suggesting reduced attention and live fact-checking. Intrigued, I tuned in, only to witness a contradicting reality. The very story they discussed avoiding—excessive Trump coverage—was overshadowed by consecutive segments about him. It left me wondering if they truly listen to their own advice and grasp that every bit of coverage only validates him further, a paradox undermining their own intentions to change the narrative.
