Trump won't say poo poo about Deutsch. Deutsch and him go back decades, and he probably has tons of dirt on Trump's salacious past that he would leak.

Good lord.

quote:

The president’s unhealthy obsession with our show has been in the public record for months, and we are seldom surprised by his posting nasty tweets about us. During the campaign, the Republican nominee called Mika “neurotic” and promised to attack us personally after the campaign ended. This year, top White House staff members warned that the National Enquirer was planning to publish a negative article about us unless we begged the president to have the story spiked. We ignored their desperate pleas.

They'll never do a "repeal and worry about replace later" it's something they are completely unwilling to do.

Morning Joe didn't say much of anything that wasn't in the op-ed, but I expect that the show was geared toward an audience of one.

Scarborough did relay a story from "a senior member of Congress" who called him after Trump went on a "twenty-minute rant" in front of multiple legislators about Morning Joe and Mika specifically. Scarborougha further claimed that White House aides had warned him that the president was "increasingly agitated" by Mika and talked about "blood coming out of her eyes and ears."

They also claimed that when they visited Mar-a-Lago, Trump shuffled them into his bedroom. It is a weird detail.

Even Trump's lizard brain understands that would open up a whole new can of worms that he would rather not deal with. I think even his surrogates will be instructed to at best point out how "Deutsch" took the low road in criticizing him so people shouldn't criticize Trump for doing the same.

As expected we will get staffers tweeting random snippets of stuff Trump has referred to in the past (like shootings in Chicago), and on Wednesday morning, when everyone is slowly returning to work, Trump will lash out at Mika again.

I know people love today's dunking on Trump, but Morning Joe is a good show. You don't watch it for the hosts, you watch it for the guests. With the exception of Mark Halperin and Harold Ford Jr., you get a lot of knowledgeable people talking about the news in a setting that is not a contest against a talking head in the opposite corner of the screen. Morning Joe also gave us Nicolle Wallace, who is a national treasure.

Not only that, but in every interview he gave about repealing Obamacare during the campaign, he constantly shot back against every question with something like "Not just repeal! We're not kicking people into the streets and leaving them without anything! Repeal AND replace! Repeal AND replace!"

Of course, when has he ever kept a campaign promise?

I'm familiar with the show. I just typically watch it when I happen to wake up around 6:45 instead of specially getting up on time for it.

That was the original plan, they didn't have the votes, and I can't imagine the last 6 months got the republicans who weren't down with that plan on board that replace would totally be great. Sounds like just a way to put repeal up for a vote and have it die.

It's good to stay informed about current events, especially if you're going to make an actionable effort in response to them. At the same time, if you're just an observer and don't plan on being involved, there's no reason to keep up and let it destroy your well-being because it doesn't make a difference anyway.
