read more in-depth about it here, but Republicans aren’t happy, saying Hunter Biden got nothing more than “a slap on the wrist” because he’s the president’s son.“Just putting it out there, Ivanka and Jared, like, worked in the White House. They worked for Donald Trump,” Mika Brzezinski interjected, as she and Scarborough discussed the matter.
“Billions have come in from Saudi — there’s so many [questions]. We’re gonna talk about kids? Do we even want to talk about kids?”At that, Scarborough piled on, getting into more specific actions taken by Trump’s daughter and her husband.“She got licenses in China to sell her goods around the same time Donald Trump was meeting with President Xi,” he said.
“And Jared, a guy I’ve communicated with an awful lot, $2 billion from the Saudis. $2 billion! And, again, I mean, that’s a lot of money.”He continued, “We haven’t said much about it here.
Bestie, wake up, new Trump tape just dropped!
In addition to promising pardons to those involved with the January 6 attacks on the Capitol, Donald Trump has now promised to donate to the legal fund of the defendants still awaiting their fate. But the hosts and panelists of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” are a bit skeptical on that promise, considering it would mean the twice-indicted former president would have to “give away any of his own money.”In discussing Trump’s latest pledge on Monday morning, host Mika Brzezinski called it “pretty twisted,” but Jonathan Lemire was largely unsurprised.“The bottom just keeps getting lower.
column, published Saturday, McCain called out President Joe Biden for inviting “America’s disgraced First Son” to this weekend’s White House State Dinner, calling the President’s son “an elitist scumbag,” among several other flashy titles.“Mr. President – when will you realize that your nepo-baby scumbag son doesn’t deserve to be an honored guest at the People’s White House?” McCain wrote in the opinion piece.
Joe Swash has shared a hilarious video of wife Stacey Solomon the morning after the night before as she battles a hangover after drinking alcohol “for the first time in 20 years”. The loved up couple, who are known for documenting their busy family life at Pickle Cottage, jetted to Austria earlier this weekend without their children to attend a friend’s wedding and have been soaking up the celebrations. After stepping on the plane yesterday, 33 year old Stacey joked that Joe was “trying to get me drunk” as she tucked into a gin and tonic over her more typical choice of a soft drink, admitting that it was her first alcoholic drink in “about 20 years”.
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” blasted Elise Stefanik for introducing resolutions to formally expunge the impeachments of former President Donald Trump.On Thursday, Republican Congresswoman Stefanik and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced two resolutions that would erase the Dec. 18, 2019, and Jan. 13, 2021 impeachments of Trump as if the “unconstitutional” articles had never passed the full House of Representatives.“It’s totally unclear if such resolutions are even legally possible,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said.
Joe Scarborough has some advice for Republicans running for president: stop trying to be Donald Trump. According to the MSNBC host, the strategy he used to win in 2016 is “never gonna work again.”Scarborough’s advice came on Friday’s episode of “Morning Joe,” as he and his colleagues discussed someone who “really kind of modeled herself after the Trump blueprint,” Kari Lake. The former Arizona gubernatorial candidate — who, like Trump, lost her election and then baselessly claimed for months that the election rigged and she actually did win — is facing a new lawsuit in Maricopa County for defamation of an election official.In discussing Lake, Scarborough noted that just about everyone he ever talked to about her during campaign season thought she was incredibly skilled, and added that “if she was a mainstream Republican,” she could’ve won.
TikTok is overhauling its executive ranks, with Chief Operating Officer V Pappas leaving the company and longtime Disney communications chief Zenia Mucha joining in a newly created role.
Taylor Greene called Boebert a “little bitch.”“It’s far more important for MTG and Lauren Boebert to fight each other on the floor and call each other bitches, because now they’re having a race to impeach Joe Biden, over what?” Scarborough said.“Nothing. More gesturing, more — this is what we warned about if they put insurrectionists, weirdos and freaks in charge of the people’s house! And they have put weirdos, insurrectionists and freaks in charge of the People’s House.
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough couldn’t help but laugh at Donald Trump’s confusion over his own policy.In an interview with Fox News’s Brett Baier that aired Tuesday night, Baier tripped Trump up by deflating his recollection of Alice Johnson, a woman sentenced to jail for selling marijuana. The former president said he used his pardon powers to commute Johnson’s sentence in 2018, but Baier quickly pointed out that Johnson would face the death penalty under Trump’s proposal of imposing the death penalty on convicted drug dealers.“That’s a perfect example of just how clueless Donald Trump is on policy.
@chrislhayes: The ritual humiliation of Hunter Biden—a mainstay of the right-wing media—is an attempt to wage a sort of psychological warfare upon the president. Joe Biden has no control over the actions of his adult son—his sole surviving son—who he obviously loves deeply.
It’s been YEARS of investigation into Joe Biden‘s son. Now we finally have answers in the form of criminal charges, and they’re… frankly pretty underwhelming.
President Joe Biden‘s son Hunter Biden has been charged with failing to pay federal income tax and illegally possessing a weapon.
Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, plans to plead guilty to tax and gun charges following a Justice Department investigation.
“very busy” and never had a chance to go through the boxes to take out his own personal belongings.On Tuesday morning, Joe Scarborough marveled that Trump “keeps putting himself one step closer to jail” with every “rambling” interview, before turning to McQuade for her input on the situation. “You know, any lawyer would tell him to just stop talking about this matter.
Ethan Shanfeld Hunter Biden has been charged with illegally possessing a handgun in 2018 as well as two tax misdemeanors, for failing to file and pay taxes on time in 2017 and 2018, according to a court filing by the U.S. Attorney in Delaware. According to the filing, the 53-year-old son of President Joe Biden has agreed to plead guilty to both tax charges and will enter a probation agreement relating to the firearm offense. If violated, he would be prosecuted for illegally possessing the gun while being a “user of or addicted to a controlled substance.” The deal is contingent on Biden staying off drugs for 24 months and agreeing to never again own a firearm, according to The New York Times.
As the fallout from Donald Trump’s second indictment continues, the “Morning Joe” crew is still amazed that it’s even happening. Not because the twice-impeached former president doesn’t deserve the charges, but rather, because he could’ve avoided them entirely had he just cooperated with authorities.During Friday morning’s discussion, MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan joined the panel, discussing Mitt Romney’s reaction to the indictment with Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough.
William Earl Donald Trump has arrived at a federal courthouse in Miami, where he was placed under arrest and booked on federal charges prior to his court appearance, where he will be arraigned in front of a magistrate judge, according to the New York Times. He is not expected to be fingerprinted or made to take a mug shot. The former president has been accused of mishandling classified documents in an indictment that was filed on June 8. Trup’s attorney Todd Blanche told press that his client would be entering a “not guilty” plea. Alina Habba, a lawyer for Trump, spoke to reporters at the courthouse, explaining why he was given different treatment compared to other defendants. “President Trump is in a very unique position where he does not need to be given a mugshot, obviously,” she said. “He’s not a flight risk. He is the leading candidate of the GOP at the moment. He is going through a process that has been coordinated with the Secret Service and it will all be handled seamlessly.”
his second indictment on Tuesday, Donald Trump remains in the race for president in 2024. But, at this point, former senator Claire McCaskill doesn’t think he’s actually running for president — he’s just “running for pardon.”McCaskill’s thoughts came on Wednesday morning’s episode of “Morning Joe,” as Joe Scarborough and his team applauded a Republican congressman from Arizona for adding his voice to the few Republicans who are condemning Trump’s actions.
As presidential hopeful Donald Trump prepares to be arraigned for an indictment on Tuesday (his second indictment so far, if you’re keeping score), House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is still staunchly defending him. But, for the hosts of “Morning Joe,” any attempt at getting McCarthy’s opinion on the situation at this point is “like fighting with an idiot.”The hosts of the MSNBC talk show were particularly irritated on Tuesday morning by McCarthy’s glib response to a reporter who asked if it was “a good look for the former president to have boxes in a bathroom,” after pictures were released in Trump’s latest indictment showing that, indeed, he kept piles of boxes of classified documents in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.In response, McCarthy attempted to deflect to President Biden, sassing back, “I don’t know, is it a good picture to have boxes in a garage that opens up all the time? A bathroom door locks.”“It’s like fighting with an idiot,” Joe Scarborough deadpanned after watching the clip.
Joe Scarborough was on a tear on Monday morning, raging over those who are still defending former president Trump amid that second indictment. Among those on the receiving end of Scarborough’s ire was The New York Post, after they ran a headline ending in “What About the Bidens?” on their front page.In full, the front page headline of Monday’s New York Post read “Trump was indicted but … WHAT ABOUT THE BIDENS?” It featured images of both President Biden and his son Hunter, and opinions from House speaker Kevin McCarthy and Post columnist Miranda Devine, complaining about a “double standard” (despite the fact that there is in fact an investigation ongoing into the classified documents found at President Biden’s homes).“Listen.
