“…When Hillary Clinton deserved to be praised, we praised her. When Donald Trump did, as well, we did that, too. How much more could we prove?”

What has Donald Trump said or done in the context of his campaign for Presidency that merits notice as especially deserving of praise? Anyone?

“It’s not fair,” Brzezinski told Vanity Fair in an interview published Thursday night. “No one has been tougher on Donald Trump than Joe and I.”

***I remember the morning I heard Joe and Mica tell it like it is, really laying into Trump:***


Think of Donald Trump's personal qualities, the bullying, the greed, the showing off, the misogyny, the absurd third grade theatrics. We have long referred to him as "The Donald." He is the only person in America to whom we have added an article before his name. It wasn't because he had attributes we admired.

Now imagine your children and your grandchildren acting the way he does. Will you welcome that? Haven't we seen before what happens when people in prominent positions fail the basic responsibility of honorable conduct? We have, and it always injures our families and our country.

We will only really know if he is the real deal or a phony if he releases his tax returns and the tape of his interview with the New York Times. I predict that there are more bombshells in his tax returns. I predict that he doesn't give much if anything to the disabled and to our veterans. I predict that he told the New York Times that his immigration talk is just that: talk. And I predict that despite his promise to do so, first made over a year ago, he will never ever release his tax returns. Never. Not the returns under audit, not even the returns that are no longer being audited. He has too much to hide. Nor will he authorize the Times to release the tapes. If I'm right, you will have all the proof you need to know that Donald Trump is a phony.
Here's what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.

His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.

***Yeah, they were hard on the man. Harder than anyone else in the public sphere. A blistering critique..........................***

Waaaahhh, it’s not fair. Are you serious? Let me tell you what’s not fair, Mika. It’s not fair that because of lying cheerleaders like you and your cohost, minorities, Muslims, and so many others are going to have a harder life, a tougher existence in this country. But tell me how it’s no fair that you’re being justifiably criticized?

"In our most recent conversation, I told him I want him to do something big for women. I said that on the air this morning. So I’m not sure why this is being translated by our competitors, and the narrative they want to create as dirty.

I want you all to know that I’m being very restrained and respectful as the jokes write themselves here.

Well, I’ve heard from a lot of people that he’s making America great again. But I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

But Brzezinski argued to Vanity Fair that the regular conversations with Trump do not result in slanted coverage on “Morning Joe,” and she said that she and Scarborough have only met Trump in person a few times.

I’m not going into the TPM archives or the Google machine for those ‘Joe n Mika meet Trump’ moments.

First we all know Mika just follows Joe’s lead. Second, if Joe would stop cutting off every guest who begins any criticism of Trump and then stopped touting how frequently he has private phone conversations with Jared and the Donald he may have more credibility…or nah he’s an apologist.

I wonder if VF asked Mika about this allegation.

Hey Joe & Mika. Here’s a tissue. Wipe that stuff off your faces. Ewwww!

Anyone who watches this horror show gets what he deserves.

Yes, of course, those almost daily phone interviews where you corrected the Trumpster with, “Don’t you really mean to say…” are nothing.

Oh … they would spend ten or twenty minutes calling out Trump for asking someone to assassinate Hillary or put all Muslims in a death camp, then they would have Kelley Anne or Rudy on after the break to explain it all away for a half hour, and then spend the rest of the show talking about Hillary’s emails.

FUCK!#$(%#$(t9-0!!! AS$(#%&(@#$%&@#$)*%^(&HOLE press so screwed us so bad this time around … When Herr Trump does comes for these assclowns at MSNBC and CNN, don’t look to me to raise a fuss.
