Morning Joe regarding 'Cadet Bone Spurs' and his NEED for a military parade of weaponry.


and his insecure NEED to be saluted, "If we SURVIVE this (as a nation), we'll look back at this time in history and....cry.

Mika is shaking her head and has a look of total disgust and fear on her face.

the panel pointed out that he doesn't read.

So Joe then suggested that '5-deferment donald' take the millions that it will cost for his unneeded parade and use it to help Veterans who are struggling with PTSD issues.

is if he was chasing a golf ball, and even then walking would be out of the question. Would have to use a cart.

as the Commander-In-Chief.

He said 'Five-deferment-donald' should think about how many U. S. troops died in Viet Nam the VERY day he graduated from school.

He does not even briefly think, he reacts. Also he does not appear capable or interested in learning. Walking through Arlington would be exercise, too. Come on, he does not think, learn or exercise, he just needs to go sit somewhere and lie to Mueller. That is our only hope.

The first thing that would come to his head would be, "Look at all these losers who got in the way of a bullet. They were all too stupid to find a way to get out of the military. I'm a genius. I faked my way out."

... it would be a big mistake. He'll probably turn it into a new golf course for the visiting Russian dignitaries.
There's no way to redeem this guy, we have to get him out of there. The sooner the better.

Who would have imagined that I'd be on the same side as Joe Scarborough?? But some of these Republicans - Steve Schmidt comes to mind - articulate the horrors of Trump the most vehemently. I turned on Nicolle Wallace's show one afternoon and heard Steve Schmidt give the best anti Trump rant that I've heard so far!

When Steve Schmidt so articulately and passionately laid out this entire calamity for what it is, and what it means, my jaw dropped in astonishment and tears filled my eyes.

When I hear he (Schmidt) is going to be a guest on a show, I stop what I'm doing, tune in and listen intently!

Cadet Bone Spurs seems to forget this is a republic. There will be protests, and I suspect they will be HUGE.

from the damage that heavy tanks and artillery will inflict on the roadways will be HUGE.

This entire idea of "Bone-Spurs' is so repulsive, unnecessary and transparent, it makes me sick.

The people will be in the streets in record numbers and I will be one of them!

He completely flipped on Trump once he attacked Mika. He also got really pissed when Trump insinuated that Scarborough had something to do with the dead intern. Plus he probably feels guilty about kissing up to Trump during the campaign. They helped create the monster that is attempting to destroy the world.

This past month alone has been radically different.

You cannot keep viewing things as they once were. You have to look at it in the here and now and draw from the past. Otherwise you'll be further and further out of touch.

And even if they are, they're saying things that no other conservatives with that size audience are saying, so it makes an impact.

I'm open to that possibility. To me it just feels a bit stage-y. And I especially remember how much grief they gave Hillary throughout the campaign. The sense I got is that they knew Trump winning would be good for the show - and it has been.

I heard him denounce donald as a racist on his show because of that. He said then, that he would NEVER vote for trump. Joe won't say who he voted for (if anyone) but he said it was NOT for trump. Mika said she voted for Hillary.

More fuel on the racist fire was his attempted Muslim Immigrant Ban. Joe was truly disgusted.

Another incident (that they refer to over and over) was an on-air interview when Joe pointed out to trump that Putin KILLS political opponents and journalists. trump's response was, "You think this country is so innocent? We kill people too." Joe and Mika were (and remain) aghast and appalled about his defense of Putin (the murderer).

Several months after the election, they were asked by a guest if they thought it was going to be this bad (DJT's win)
Both Mika and Joe immediately and simultaneously said, "WORSE!!"

Joe called in to the Stephanie Miller show a few months ago and she asked him about all the time they gave donald on their show. Joe said he should have done some things differently but he stressed that EVERYONE was welcome to call their show at any time and they would have them on. He said the only people that regularly took them up on the offer were trump and Lindsay Graham.

Personally, I can't stand Joe Scarborough. He's an arrogant, loud-mouthed bully. Mika is making a big mistake (imo) to marry him. But I believe he's turned the corner big-time on trump (and most Republicans) and there's no going back for him.

I don't watch the show either, but I read most of the DU threads about them. They got more 'concerned' as the GOP primary went on and then he pulled his little stunt threatening them with a National Enquirer story and he was no longer their favorite call in guest.

This is a huge waste of money, and we don't need to inspire nationalism and militarism in our country. The veterans need the money for other help.
