Joe scum back to being joe scum

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

Blabbing about budget office saying the economy will grow WITHOUT covid relief. Then onto "working together"

I switched to cartoons.

[XanaDUer2]

1. Yup just saw that nt

[malaise]

2. Nearly started the same thread

Switched back to tennis

[hlthe2b]

3. I'm always amazed at these threads because it comes on at 4AM here & though I have just gotten up,

I guess I never actually "HEAR" the first hour. So, I guess I miss a lot before I finally am awake enough to absorb it.

[malaise]

4. They repeat the first part at 8.00am

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

5. I recommend it if

You have leftovers that need emptied from your stomach

[AmyStrange]

6. Who's Joe Scum?

[malaise]

10. MorningJoeScum

[AmyStrange]

13. Crap, I should've figured that out...

-

Just got up. sorry, but thank you.

[wnylib]

21. Might be good to identify the Joe Scum in the OP title

since we now have a President Joe.

[cwydro]

25. There are usually two or three of Joe Scarborough hate threads a week.

Not sure why the same people keep watching, but at any rate, you'll soon see how many people post about him.

[Nexus2]

27. Joe Scarborough, Host of the MSNBC show: Morning Joe.

I enjoy the show and like Joe Scarborough but I was a little put off this morning by his attitude (must reach out and make compromises to the GOP to demonstrate 'unity', etc) when, frankly, he and most folks likely know that if this was some huge tax cut or other proposal, the Republicans would all ready ramming it though, likely working long weekends to do it as fast as possible.

But I expected it or something close, Scarborough is a Republican and doesn't try to hide his leanings but he comes across to me as one of the sane ones.

[AmyStrange]

29. Thank you

[quickesst]

31. Joe Scarborough is a conservative....

.... but he is no longer a republican. He is now a registered independent.

[Hotler]

43. aka Joey the Scar. nt

[AmyStrange]

44. Heh heh heh

-

It's obvious that no one here likes him very much, but thank you for sharing.

[Sugarmaggie]

7. I just shouted at tv

Switching to cartoons probably better alternative.

[Dem4Life1102]

8. We need to remember that

Never Trump republicans are still republicans.

[mucifer]

9. Some actually became democrats. Not Morning Joe.

[Bucky]

12. Michael Steel has been impressing me

He'll never switch, of course, but there are days when he sounds just like one of us.

[Dem4Life1102]

17. No

He may have left the Republican Party but he is still a right winger who attacked Obama for years.

[DeminPennswoods]

19. Exactly

The only part of the Trump administration they hated was Trump. The immigration and Russia policy they seemed not to like, but overall, they were fine with the other policies put into place.

[Bucky]

11. But with Mika there, you already HAVE cartoons

Even when I agree with him I find his bloviating annoying

[brooklynite]

14. Good thing you were watching in the first place...

How else would we know?

[CentralMass]

35. I take it that you are a fan.

42. I'm not a "fan" of any news personalty...

I watch shows with good news and political coverage. What I don't do is decide I don't like a show and then keep watching it.

[barbtries]

15. i tried to watch it yesterday for a minute.

they opened the show by asking whether President Biden was going to keep his promise of unity. jeez

fuck that shit. people are hurting.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

34. Agree. All Dem spokesmen should remind people that we

are in the bottom level of Maslow's pyramid of needs. Large swaths of people jobless, hungry, homeless, sick, dying. So I'm not too surprised when people ask about higher level needs.

[barbtries]

40. the media needs to stop ignoring history.

republicans have not acted in good faith at least since 2008, but probably long before that.

[GeorgeGist]

16. These guys?

U.S. unemployment rate to remain above pre-pandemic level through decade, CBO says.

18. He's back to judging economic growth by the rising stock market and how much richer his wealthy

friends are.

[gab13by13]

20. I have seen a shift

in CNN and msnbc to right wing talking points. I rarely watch them in the morning. I wait until Nicolle comes on, then wait until Chris comes on.

The MSM is right wing. The narrative that really pisses me off is that, it is inevitable that Trump is going to be acquitted. The more they say that the more they "normalize" it. Yeah I believe he will be acquitted but I follow that up with "it is disgusting, our Republican Senators are voting to kill our democracy. The cable news anchors don't do follow ups.

Carry on watching morning cable news, I can't stomach any of it.

[Dem4Life1102]

24. True

Now that the Trump is gone, right wingers in the media are returning to their natural habits. Carrying water for republicans and attacking democrats.

[My Pet Orangutan]

22. You don't hear the Lincoln Project people attacking Democrats.

That's the difference.

[The Blue Flower]

23. I changed the channel

Been doing that a lot in the last few weeks.

[NRaleighLiberal]

26. entertainment, not news. they just needs as many eyeballs as possible

for ads.

yuck. never watched.

[bullwinkle428]

28. Translation : "My stock portfolio will be looking AWESOME by the middle

of the year, so who really gives a fuck about the 'little people'??"

Yeah, I nearly drove off the road in anger when I heard that on the way to work.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Can't you have both? Millions of average people are seeing

their 401k 's grow AND concentrate on helping those who have nothing?

[Sloumeau]

30. Some Republicans are moronic, ignorant, spineless, and evil all of the time.

Others are that way only part of the time.

[oasis]

32. Joe Scar slying nudging Biden to go along with GOP "moderates" now

for a slimmed down recovery plan. Scar is assuming Biden can always get more later on.
Yeah Joe, we've been there, tried that.

[bucolic_frolic]

33. He's a Reagan conservative

He thinks there's something beneficial there. He's just anti-Trump.

But MSNBC gets high marks, across all its programs, for avoiding kooky, fringe perspectives.

[gab13by13]

36. The only reason that Joe Scum turned on Trump,

was because Trump said a bad about Mika.

[quickesst]

37. first off....

.... I like Steve Schmidt, and I am glad he is now pretty much on our side. The thing is, he is also the person who brought us Sarah Palin, and almost single-handedly destroyed John Kerry's campaign against George Bush, yet now, he is a darling of Democratic Underground.
Joe Scarborough who had Trump as a guest on his show several times, and did have a relationship that ended in 2016 is now demonized as though he single-handedly got trump elected. For the past 4 years, 5 days a week, 3 hours a day most of his time has been spent eviscerating trump, and his enablers. A good portion of his Morning Show has been a democratic platform for the likes of people such as Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, and the list goes on and on. Why do they appear on his show if, as many people here insist, he is scum? Because they appreciate his contribution of the last 4 years, and have moved well beyond the petty animosity many here at Democratic Underground feed upon. If there is anyone here at Democratic Underground who has done more in the last 4 years to promote Democrats, and help get Joe Biden elected please step forward. I would personally like to thank you, and give you a virtual pat on the back.

What he stated about the budget office is simply a fact, and if I'm not mistaken, Joe Biden's campaign was based upon "working together". If that is such a bad thing, how did Joe Biden beat out so many other candidates for the nomination overwhelmingly, and then stomp trump's ass into the ground? I for one back Joe Biden 100% because giving a little to gain a lot, plus an easier path to legislation is the logical thing to do.

[Turin_C3PO]

41. 77% of the country

wants this stimulus bill to go big. That’s unity. Bipartisanship is not necessarily synonymous with unity. Repubs can come on board but I trust that Joe, Schumer, etc. are going to follow through on the current version of the bill.

[quickesst]

45. I understand that

I never stated, nor insinuated otherwise. Unfortunately, this is not the only bill that will arise. Some form of bipartisanship will be a part of Joe Biden's presidency. It is inevitable. As far as what Scarborough said, unlike a lie, no rational person would condemn someone for stating a fact.

[SlogginThroughIt]

39. These talking heads have a job to do.

They are there to grab people’s attention and hold it. That you turned it iff is a good sign! Congrats!
