On his 80th birthday, Morning Joe hails Mike Barnicle—who was forced to resign by the Boston Globe for a variety of journalistic improprieties—"as one of the greatest columnists of the 20th century."

Joe Scarborough says Joe Biden doesn't need to wait for the writers strike to be over to get attack lines against Donald Trump for his speeches. Scarborough then proceeds to tick off a number of suggestions for Biden, to make the case that Trump has mental acuity issues of his own. 

Morning Joe gloats over Rudy Giuliani's legal and financial travails. 

As Robert Mueller's top aide during the investigation of Donald Trump on Russian collusion in the 2016 election, Andrew Weissman earned the moniker, "the pit bull." But Weissman subsequently became an MSNBC legal analyst.  And on Morning Joe, he turned into a lap dog regarding the indictment of Hunter Biden on gun charges, saying, "This really strikes me as an abuse of the enormous…

On Morning Joe, Macho Joe Scarborough claims that if anyone spoke to him as Matt Gaetz spoke to Speaker McCarthy, in which Gaetz demanded total compliance with his demands, or that he'd remove him as Speaker, Scarborough would tell him to "f-o," even if it was at the Gates of Hell. 

On Morning Joe, Willie Geist says that Trump lawyers John Eastman, Sidney Powell, and Rudy Giuliani make frequent TV appearances because they "crave" attention. Meanwhile, Geist himself is omnipresent on NBC and MSNBC, with eight different gigs.

Morning Joe emphasized politics would be put aside as Hurricane Idalia roars. Then minutes later in live coverage, the very first question to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during his briefing on the state's response was: "What do you think about Trump? You know, he's a resident here in Florida, and he hasn't commented on Idalia at all yet." DeSantis said "It's not my concern."

On Morning Joe, MSNBC analyst Ken Dilanian, who had been a big promoter of the debunked Russian collusion conspiracy theory, accuses the Trump defense team in the January 6 trial before Judge Chutkan of harboring a "reality distortion field."

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough claims, "politically, I'm too pragmatic. I bend over backwards too hard to understand too many people's views."

Tuesday’s Morning Joe brought on Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY) and teed him up to play defense for President Biden after the explosive Devon Archer testimony on the Biden family’s bribery and corruption.

Goldman claimed that despite…

On Morning Joe, NBC News justice correspondent Ken Dilanian says that the new indictment of Donald Trump in the federal classified documents case "rival anything that Richard Nixon was accused of" and "reads like a Mafia case."

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, race-baiting Reverend Al Sharpton came up with an excessively belligerent and hateful reason for why Democrat prosecutions of former President Donald Trump were not affecting his support among voters in the Republican primary.

Sharpton argued that the reason why all these indictments brought by Trump’s political enemies right before the election,…

On Morning Joe, MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos was shocked by the plea deal that Hunter Biden received in federal court. He called it "amazing," and said he'd like to sign up on such deals on behalf of his clients if it's available, and calls it a "gift from heaven." He says that he's not aware of any defendant other than Biden getting pre-trial diversion in a gun case.

On Tuesday, Morning Joe ran segments attacking Israel over and new law democratically passed by the democratically elected Israeli Knesset parliament that would limit the Israeli Supreme Court’s power to strike down laws. But despite the democratic underpinnings of the Israeli system of government that brought about the law, the panel suggested democracy was dying there.
