New York
CNN — The news was so shocking that some “Morning Joe” viewers probably spit out their coffee.

MSNBC co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski “went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally” with President-elect Donald Trump, Brzezinski revealed at the beginning of Monday’s show. The Friday rendezvous was “the first time we have seen him in seven years,” she added.

In a back-and-forth that the husband and wife co-hosts scripted ahead of time, Scarborough said, “we didn’t see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues, and we told him so.” But “what we did agree on was to restart communications,” Brzezinski said, suggesting that their behavior should be a model for others.

Really? Mika and Joe, what do you hope to gain, or were you concerned he would come after you.

It's a betrayal of your current audience. Of course, if you don't fall all over yourself kissing his ass and report honestly and critically, then ...... well we'll see.

1. Disgusting fluffers.

And calling them fluffers is the most polite word I can think of.

[Magoo48]

8. My first thought was, Why?

[Blue_Tires]

22. ACCESS! GLORIOUS ACCESS!!

Donnie's Freakshow Circus is going to be must-see TV and no cable news channel wants to be left out in the cold and miss out on fat ratings from the endless discussion of his daily scandals... It wouldn't surprise me if NBC executive brass personally told Joe and Mika to go kiss the ring...

[get the red out]

29. Absolutely

Big media has to bend the knee and kiss the ring.

[Bengus81]

39. Just like CNN,I will never view their POS show again.

[Nictuku]

2. I was a daily viewer

I have not tuned in since the election. Now I'm really glad I didn't. MSM is Dead to me.

[Magoo48]

10. I gave it up over ten years ago, haven't missed it at all.

[Cha]

33. It was Dead to me in Nov 2002...

and I know from reading DU it's only gotten Exponentially Worse.

I never looked back.

[Littlered]

3. I took their explanation at face value.

Made sense to me. This is our new reality. He can’t run again.

[republianmushroom]

5. True, but, there are work arounds.

He can run on a ticket as Vice President with a presidential candidate such as Mike Johnson, Matt Gaetz, hell, even Jr. and then have that persons step down after he is sworn in.

[Polybius]

16. He's probably ineligible to be VP, according to the last line of the 12th Amendment

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

But even if I'm wrong, he's aging fast. 82 year old Trump may be too far gone.

[republianmushroom]

17. Who owns the supreme court ?

It will be his age and, health both physical and mental. Thankfully.

45 months and counting

[Bengus81]

40. We have a Constitution right now. SC is not mentioned to help Trump served more terms.

[republianmushroom]

42. We had the same Constitution when trump tried to over throw our newly elected President.

For his efforts he was granted impunity for his actions by the Supreme Court. That same Court that is suppose to protect and defend our elected Constructional govt..

[keep_left]

19. Trump has even floated the idea...

...that the 22nd Amendment should be repealed so that he can have what would be a zombie third term, as demented as he is already. No chance of that happening, of course, but it shows the level of arrogance and ego that Trump possesses.

[Bengus81]

37. Good luck with that one Trump,think Dems are going to side with Republicans letting you serve multiple terms?

Not going to happen....

[niyad]

20. You obviously have not been paying attention to the claims that the 22nd

amendment only applies to CONSECUTIVE terms.

[Bengus81]

41. Nah....

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

[JoseBalow]

26. He will absolutely run again

He will never give up the grift, it is too lucrative for him to walk away from.

And when he gets sued over it, he'll fundraise on that too.

This fucker will never go away on his own.

[hadEnuf]

30. He also wants to stay out of jail. He'll burn the whole country down for that.

Yeah, he'll run again.

[Intractable]

44. I really don't think he'll make for four years.

Between the ever-increasing dementia and his desire to not actually do the job, I think he'll drop out.

We'll be dealing with Vance.

[Demsrule86]

43. I didn't ...they are dead to me...took all of MSNBC out of my DVR and cancelled all recordings.

[johnp3907]

4. Bootlickers.

[SupportSanity]

6. Obeying in advance.

Any other MSNBC hosts meeting with Trump?

[JohnQFunk]

7. "Mr. and Mrs. Vichy Quisling"

Keith Olbermann FTW!

BREAKING NEWS: I TOLD YOU SO. With hostage-video like cowering, Scarborough and Brzezinski resume being Trump collaborators

Not a word Mr. and Mrs. Vichy Quisling say can ever be trusted again - not that those words ever should have been trusted. They are confidence tricksters - and grifters

15. I remember well the Morning Joe of 2015-16. Joe and especially Mika seemed to loathe Hillary.

Mon Nov 18, 2024, 10:34 AM
Every time I tuned in either Trump was on a call or they were talking about Hillary's emails and private server.

I never forgot. I still watch them because I really like their guests, pundits and journalists. Joe can really hit the nail on the head as far a Trump goes, but he fails to convince me that he is as much against the MAGA cult as he pretends. I am sure that since Trump is President elect he and Mika are fearing what might be instore for them at the Network.

I have made up my mind that if MSNBC continues to search out the truth and gives the facts they will be my only cable new source. If not, why should I bother. I will keep searching the Internet and reading the Guardian and Philadelphia Enquirer for my news.

[Deuxcents]

9. I don't watch them. Ever since they were all in for him years ago, I never watched again.

I usually don’t watch any MSNBC in the mornings n now I’m only watching Lawrence O.
I feel much better 🤗

[Joe_Gadway]

11. Appeasement....

Just when we needed Joe and Mika to be Winston Churchills, they turn into little Neville Chamberlains.
OK!
We will continue the struggle for America without them!

[City Lights]

12. Ick. I stopped watching that show years ago.

I won't be going back.

[Miguelito Loveless]

13. There will be a steady stream

of pundits making the trek to suck up to 45, including a lot of journos.

[berksdem]

14. So now they are

going to be sane washing for the Dotard? Unf'ing believable....

[ZonkerHarris]

18. Welcome to Quislingland

[SallyHemmings]

21. I'm done

I usually give them a hour during my workout. Sportscenter here I come!

[tanyev]

23. Whee! Now they'll get to go to parties at Mar a Lago again!

[cstanleytech]

24. Like I said if he can serve as President down there he can server in prison in NY.

After all just like a convicted felon can run for the Presidency as the Constitution does bar it the Constitution also doesn't bar him from serving time in prison for something he's already been convicted for.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. I am very disappointed in Mike and Joe

Link to tweet

WOW! And so it begins:

Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski normalizing Donald Trump after meeting with him at Mar-a-Lago on Friday. This is how we got President Trump the first time. They learned nothing.

I’m posting the entire segment so folks can decide for themselves.
Also sharing in the thread a summary of Trump’s second-term agenda

[hadEnuf]

31. Cowards who stand for nothing.

Screw them.

[LiberalLovinLug]

27. Its sickening but somewhat understandable.

I hate it, but just like world leaders, top news media personalities will have two choices:
Suck up to him to get any access or become another declared enemy.

I'm Canadian, and I am loathing the next four years where our PM has no choice but to lick Trumps shoes and tell him he's the best. Still probably won't be enough to stop the Trudeau hatefest. And if Poilievre the conservative wins the next election, he'll have to do the same. And that goes for all world leaders. Macron seemed to find a sweet spot with him. While I'm sure privately gagging about it.

[rickford66]

28. The monicker "Morning Scum" seems more apt than before.

[RandiFan1290]

32. Did Meeka mouse do her table dance?

I can't believe anyone watched that garbage.

[niyad]

36. That sexist image still makes me sick.

[grockri]

34. Kiss ass Bastards

Joe is just an opportunist. He has always been a work. Mika is too. What ever makes them part of the uppercrust. They are both pieces of crap!!!. I never watched them much at one point they were against frump. Now they are kissing his orange ass.

Disgusted!!

[turbinetree]

35. This say everything about the cable media and why this country is screwed...............

[Bengus81]

38. When does Liz Cheney do the same?

[Emile]

45. After an alert and discussion with the hosts, locking.
