Here we go again! "Say it aint so, Joe"?

Scarborough has turned back to the right! He was pleased with Trump's speech last night! On many occasions, Scarborough blasted Trump for many things that wasn't presidential, but since war is looming, Joe slips to the side of Trump! Lord, give us a break!

in this instance it isn't just the "deplorables" who unwitting dupes.

They were doing this song and dance LONG before 45.

Childish fits of righteous indignance spattered between prototype right wing hypocracy and absurdism.

Like a lot of people, he seems glad they're where they are.

I am too, for the most part (they clearly have experience and don't wish to tear down our institutions) but on this issue, I'd be opposed to anyone wanting to extend this war.

Trump could barely read the TelePrompTer. Out of breath and mis-emphasizing all the wrong words. It seemed like he was seeing the speech for the first time as he read it. No points.

Absolutely. He is often noticeably surprised at what he reads off the TelePrompTer and makes little side comments, or something like, "oh, and isn't that the truth, I'll can tell you that!" He's a moron.

Republicans love war, and Trump just gave him a huge war hard-on. Not sure why this surprises you.

So as long as it's a bunch of other people's kids, ramping up hostilities is great for footage of explosions, dead brown people, and the achievement of meaningless undefined objectives.

...he makes no bones about being conservative. That's been his political orientation all his life, and would be unlikely to change, no matter how alienated he may be from the current circus.

But, if he says a single thing that the left doesn't agree with, he gets brutalized on DU. All in all, Joe has been more critical of Chump than any Republican that I have seen. You will be left very unhappy if you think that you will hear only what you wish to hear on television.
