"Let's sort through that," Scarborough said. "'Mr. President, you've been treated worse than anybody in history.' Let's start with a couple. Jesus Christ was crucified, little worse. Joan of Arc burned at the stake. That's two we can notch above there. Abe Lincoln assassinated. Martin Luther King assassinated, Bobby Kennedy assassinated, JFK assassinated – that's a little worse. Black Americans, let's see, did anything happen to them? Yes – ripped from their country, ripped from their homes, put in chains, dragged across in slave ships to America where they were slaves from 1619 until 1860 -- that's a little worse. Yeah, I think that's worse than what Donald Trump is going through."

Even worse, Scarborough said, were the former president's supporters who revel in Trump's self-pity.

"These sad, sad people who are so freakish to try to elevate this -- you know, he plays like a strongman, [but] he's such a poor, pathetic, weak, snowflake," Scarborough said. "He's a snowflake. I want Dr. Evil to start talking about his father and how all the things his father did to him, and Donald Trump will next take that on board. 'He accused chestnuts of being lazy.' But it's just so insane that he is -- here, you have this billionaire, was president of the United States, and he's just such a victim, he's so weak. Everybody is picking on him, everybody is trying to play right into the victimhood."

"Listen, we Republicans used to -- I mean, when I was a Republican, we were like, you know what?" Scarborough added. "Don't be the victim, don't be weak, you know, the pull yourself up by your bootstraps type nonsense, that's what Republicans used to be about – personal responsibility. Now it's all victimhood. Look what they've done to me. They're such babies– such whiners."

1. Gawd Joe likes to hear himself speak.

Only thing I can't stand about their show. How he hogs the time. Takes him 5 minutes just to ask a simple question with his extrapolating. Why do they have so many guests on at once when he takes up most of the time? Ughhhhh.

2. Joe takes "loving to hear himself speak" to unimaginable heights

I can't stand it and I think he has gotten worse over the years. I think Mika ought to be able to cut his mic.

8. Well, it *is" his show.

I think he yammers on too much, too, but he gets top notch commentary, particularly Eugene Robinson, Claire Macaskill, Katty Kay, and a few others, so I put up with that.

They are also a collegial group, which I appreciate.

9. Yes, the perogatives of being king of your own show

I agree that many of his regular guests are worth hearing from. I just wish that when Joe has 4 guests he would take up only 1/5 of the time talking. I would even be willing to concede him 25% or 33% of the time if he is laying down a righteous rant.

3. I just read it ... and glad he called out TSF for being a weak little shit for brains.

12. Agree. Thanks to LetMyPeopleVote for posting the words.

Joe spouts and drivels on. I think Mika is a much better presenter but he'll interrupt her constantly.

4. Poor whiny Tiny

Classic paranoid narcissist - I'm not to blame, ever, for anything! I'm just a victim of everyone, all the time, and always have been!

5. Dostoyevsky said it better

I doubt these political shows would ever quote Shakespeare or Dostoyevsky.

From Brothers Karamazov.
(from Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky translation)

A man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point where he does not discern any truth either in himself or anywhere around him, and thus falls into disrespect towards himself and others. Not respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives himself up to passions and coarse pleasures ... A man who lies to himself is often the first to take offense. It sometimes feels very good to take offense, doesn’t it? And surely he knows that no one has offended him, and that he himself has invented the offense and told lies just for the beauty of it, that he has exaggerated for the sake of effect, that he has picked on a word and made a mountain out of a pea—he knows all of that, and still he is the first to take offense, he likes feeling offended, it gives him great pleasure, and thus he reaches the point of real hostility …

10. Thank you for reminding me of the greatness of Dostoyevsky

It has been a while since I read any of his works. He seemed to have a keen insight into the human character and really revealed the inner thoughts and feelings of his protagonists.

6. But Joe, it's benn my experience of 48 years that...

... republicans have NEVER been about 'personal responsibility' and always blame scapegoats for their problems, and have ALWAYS played the victim card when accountability and consequences for their actions came their way.

Donald Trump is just the epitome of actual republican values. Joe's just pouty because Trump has made their hypocrisy so obvious.

[Redleg]

11. Excellent points

Likewise they have never been about "fiscal responsibility." Such terms are just talking points to make the rubes believe in GOP magic.

[canuckledragger]

13. Yup, I remember Bill Clinton balancing the budget...

...en route to eliminating the debt within 10 years due to his fiscal policies...and then bush came along and wiped that out completely, adding trillions based on his tax cuts for the obscenly rich.

Obama fixed what bush broke, and then Trump broke all records adding 8 trillion on account of HIS tax cuts for the same obscenly rich that never needed them.

It's the same deal in Canada whenever the conservatives lie their way into power, they add so much and then try to scapegoat the Liberal party for trying to fix what the conservatives broke.
