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 Mondays 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 didnt 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.

(56,752 posts)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...

(2,530 posts)...that the 22nd Amendment should be repealed so that he can have what would be a zombie third term, as demented as he is already.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.

(120,684 posts)amendment only applies to CONSECUTIVE terms.
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.

(5,655 posts)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.

We'll be dealing with Vance.

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

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.

Morning Joes 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.
Im posting the entire segment so folks can decide for themselves.
Also sharing in the thread a summary of Trumps second-term agenda

(14,383 posts)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.
