The Dam is Bursting...they are talking about Russia on Morning Joe and it is not defensive

[Frogg]

The repugs on Morning Joe this morning are talking about Russia and dRumpf. Think it was Scarborough who said if these Russian connections are true (duh) then it will we insurmountable for him to overcome! Oh thank you sweet Jesus!

1. Unfortunately, I don't trust Joe - he can turn on a dime. He could be adoring Trump tomorrow.

If he and his panel really stick with it, it means Trump is really in trouble.

[Sherman A1]

3. Agreed

This is at least a start

[riversedge]

4. well said.

[Hortensis]

7. Yes. Coffee seems a little strong, stir in a little cream.

Another day add some sugar, or put in less.

Not to make too much of it, but local TV here in Florida just reported that a local congressman tweeted and made statements of support for Trump's Russia bias. Coverage wasn't of people who didn't like it picketing his office, but that he made the remarks. Interesting.

[Scarsdale]

18. Phone calls

Exactly, tRump just needs to make a call to Joe Schmo and he will be all smoochy once again with Agent Orange. It is all about ratings, guys.

[whathehell]

24. I don't think so..

Not this time..He's been pretty consistent anti-Trump for awhile.

[Raster]

25. Everybody and I do mean everybody was already of aware of the rumors, and frankly...

...baked into the mix that there was probably some degree of truth to talk of a Rump*/Russia/Putin connection. I think Joe and Make-ah indicate that the rethuglican high command has decided that the point where Mad King Donald* has exceeded his Presidential shelf life may have come just a tad bit early. Most of the rethuglicans *in power (mcconnell, ryan, etc)* see Rump* only as a life-support system for the hand that wields the signing pen, nothing more, and have resigned themselves to doing everything they can to avail themselves of the Congressional benefits of a rethug POTUS, before the Rump* circus has to fold their tents and flee town.

Rump* has three types of supporters: (1) the true believers, ardent fans of Rump* whom they view as the Political Apprentice President, whom they will never fire; (2) Not fans, not believers and Not Hillary; and (3) the *upper-crust* --heavy emphasis on crust-- of the rethuglican political and financial/business crowd who are embarrassed and appalled by Rump*, but hey, an opportunity not to be wasted. These are the peeps that already knew Rump* was damaged goods, and quite frankly, a goodly portion are surprised that he made it this far. They are the ones starting to circle the wagons.

[sunonmars]

39. by the tone being used from places, info is leaking and its freaking them out.

Its run for the exits time....

[riversedge]

2. Joe actually said that under Obama, we have made great progress against Is. Of course he added "unde

Trump: also!

[mindfulNJ]

5. crossing fingers

Something coming re Comey's Friday meeting? Let's hope so.

[mfcorey1]

6. I saw it briefly. I thought it was a wake, really somber.

[Frogg]

8. The rats are jumping ship...

I think from the tone this morning, they know it is crumbling. I loathe this show, but I am forcing myself to watch just to take the temperature of repug reporting. Can't take a moment of fux news...my head would explode.

[Rhiannon12866]

22. They often have some pretty good guests, Gene Robinson and Howard Dean for example.

I'll watch when they're on...

[WiffenPoof]

9. Joe even said...

...in passing, if Trump can finish his term.

[Cha]

10. Which begs the question.. after all the water carrying I've

read that joe has done for drumpf.. what does he know that changed his tune so drastically?

[Sienna86]

11. I think the Republicans will use him a bit more first.

They must have some legislation to move through that the president needs to sign.

[MrModerate]

13. Pence will sign anything they want signed . . . and probably read it beforehand!

They don't need Trump.

[n2doc]

33. Agree

Ryan and the Turtle Man will want to gut medicare/medicaid and SS to pay for massive tax cuts for the rich, and they want to pin it on Trump, who will then be impeached. Clean Slate!

[Frogg]

12. Yes, they are talking about how long the investigations will take...

Drag em out and pas a bunch of evil shite in the meantime. Yuck

[beachbum bob]

14. writing is on the wall...conservatives will be facing choices now or in 2018

of course I rather see them hem and haw until 2018...so democrats can take back congress easily

[thbobby]

15. Joe & MSNBC

Before the election, Joe was supportive of Trump. Improved ratings to support him.
Now being honest about Trump is good for ratings.
Seems like Trump worked out very well for improving ratings.
Just maybe if Joe and MSNBC did honest journalism and let ratings be of secondary concern I would still watch them and perhaps respect them.
MSNBC is a money making machine, not a news network.
I still have great respect for Rachel and Joy. Real journalists.

[WiffenPoof]

16. Did you hear John Hidleman (sp) call...

...what is going on as "combustible concoction of chaos."

Love it.

[luvMIdog]

17. I hope it might do some good but I'm skeptical

Donald Trump , his cronies , and followers are the kind of people who believe the end justifies the means. They have thrown away any ethics or conscience towards reaching their goal. Their goal is to turn America into a theocratic regime where they can bully and terrorize all into submission. That is exactly why they could care less what Trump has done or what he will do. He has promised to deliver them this racist version of a theocratic regime. They will back him no matter what he says or does. People like Pat Robertson with his tv pulpit and biased news programs on his show have paved the way for this for years. They have spent years brain washing masses from their tv pulpits. It wasn't illegal to spread fear and paranoia and they have been doing that work for years. If it ends up being proven that Donald Trump is a pedophile who raped young girls they will not care. They will still say he's doing God's work. These are people who think the end justifies the means- ANY means. They have thrown out mercy, ethics, and conscience for the sake of the end result they are hoping for.

[Scarsdale]

19. Sad

Too bad the gop scraped the very bottom of their barrel for a "leader" who is not fit to lead this country. The democratic side of the aisle puts the best and brightest forward, and the gop refuses to work with them. They are afraid of INTELLIGENT people since their followers seem to be uneducated, bible thumping, gun humpers. Putin recognized a puppet when he met one. The gop saw opportunity, but hopefully this fiasco will bite them - HARD - next election.

[KingCharlemagne]

20. Does that make the shitstain an enemy of the people? - nt

[RKP5637]

21. Trump, was a useful tool to get others into office. Trump, will be dumped by the regime and

Pence will be installed IMO. Not a happy thought either.

[shenmue]

23. I'll be shocked if Joe has come to his senses

[NewJeffCT]

26. Trump is a regular watcher of Morning Joe

expect some unhinged tweets soon - Joe & Mika having an affair; Morning Loser with Low Ratings; Fake News;

[VaBchTgerLily]

27. Oh Lord-lets hope!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. I read the first four words and thought of California. Be safe. . . . nt

[m-lekktor]

29. I did as well, an unfortunate metaphor considering the CA situation. nt

[Opbrg]

30. The Republicans aren't done using Trump yet.

They need his chaotic confusion and the media's obsession with hm to keep eyes off of what they are doing. Once they get done what they want they will dump Trump for Pence but this way they have a scapegoat if their constituents don't like what they have done...Blame it on Trump.

[bucolic_frolic]

31. Financiers, global hotel chains

where could roots lead? tax evasion? smuggling? foreign influence peddling?
corporate slush funds? oil and resources?

A dummy could connect the dots, but is it more than #fakenews? Who knows.

The press has its work cut out for it. If any are still working in Russia.

[vlyons]

38. I'm betting Russian mob money

from drugs and illegal gun sales money-laundered into his businesses

[Guilded Lilly]

32. Scarborough is a fair weather f*ckwit...

And I agree that the party of anti-humanity isn't quite done trying to destroy the country and the earth.
But the insanity/Cretin damage is almost beyond their control now.

[Botany]

34. Too late Joe and Mika you own that turd

Hot Mic Captures Trump Asking ‘Morning Joe’ Hosts For No ‘Too Hard’ Questions
**********

***********
“You don’t want me to do the ones—with deportation?” Brzezinski said.

After some cross-talk, co-host Joe Scarborough said, "We really have to get you some questions."

“That’s right, nothing too hard Mika," Trump interjected.

"Okay," Brzezinski said.

[Cary]

35. What happens to Trump cultists if Republicans impeach?

As for Scar I find him unwatchable even with Howard Dean and Eugene Robinson.

[Johnny2X2X]

36. Trump and his group aren't stupid

They know how they got elected. They also know that Republicans want to use him and then get rid of him. They are planning and scheming and have surprises up their sleeves that no one will anticipate.

Do not underestimate this group of monsters. And if it does look like they will get removed, put nothing past them, they will do anything to stay in power, including using nuclear weapons.

[oberliner]

37. What are they talking about on Fox News?

MSNBC does not really represent much of anything.
