OMFG - the Morning Joe Scum crew is having a ball destroying

[malaise]

the biggest crowd ever at a Christmas Tree lighting.
Mica says people are disgusted and moves on with the Con's attempts to stop the investigations.

[dewsgirl]

1. They really are, and I'm loving it.

[kydo]

2. They are slamming him and the rethugs hard with everything

Orange man will have a sad this morning. Poor little baby.

[PearliePoo2]

3. That was great! Actually the lack of a crowd IS truly stunning!

Mika said no one wants to be in attendance or anywhere NEAR him! Normally the ceremony is packed! The weather was good, so what's the reason no one showed up? "It's HIM, that's the reason.

But the Press Secretary will be sent out to lie and say it's the BIGGEST FUCKING CROWD EVER!!

[Demsrule86]

15. I would walk a mile to avoid seeing him. He makes me sick. I never felt this way about any

not even Bush or Reagan... I disliked and opposed them,but I despise Trump.

[PearliePoo2]

19. I know what you mean. I loathe him. But this makes me especially sad because...

This is what it's come to. This is where we are.

This is where he has taken our country. He's destroying everything he can and blowing it all up with no end in sight.

It makes me profoundly sad and actually near tears.

[Demsrule86]

44. It won't last. We will get rid of him in the end...He won't destroy this country.

[oberliner]

4. Probably the dumbest possible thing to attack Trump about

(The tree lighting, I mean)

[GulfCoast66]

11. totally agree...with a normal president

But this will get his goat more than any other criticism. Which is why it is being done. For the reaction.

If he is president this time next year you just know the Christmas tree lighting is another tradition he will abandon.

[mreilly]

21. Exactly, and plus...

... his supporters are equally frantic to deny the reality of his tiny crowd sizes, deliberately lying or posting fake pictures since they're just as desperate and insecure as the Asshole-in-Chief.

[hatrack]

18. True, but satisfying, and guaranteed to piss him off . . .

.

[LanternWaste]

22. You confuse mocking and attacking.

You confuse mocking and attacking... purposefully or not.

[Kingofalldems]

43. I'll say.

[Kingofalldems]

42. Oops. Flynn.

[disalitervisum]

5. Did anyone see the picture of the tree lighting ceremony

It's hilarious in a very depressing way -- there's almost no one there. i don't do Twitter, so I hope someone her finds the pic and posts it.

[machoneman]

8. Where can one see the vid? n/m

n/m

[PearliePoo2]

14. I haven't found a video (yet) but here's a still photo comparison.

[PearliePoo2]

13. I don't do twitter either but here's a link to a web page that...

has the side by side photo comparisons of last year (Obama) and this year (BLOTUS)

https://shareblue.com/trump-draws-embarrassingly-tiny-crowd-for-national-christmas-tree-lighting/

[PdxSean]

30. Thats not a side-by-side comparison.

The Obama pic is zoomed in and the Trump pic is zoomed out. Side-by-side means from the reasonably same distance, angle, etc.

[Ilsa]

40. They also showed a late-night bit and when the tree was lit,

the tree had a lit-up face of DFT and "Merry Christmas Losers" on the face of the tree. The MoJo panel commented that it might not necessarily be fake! LOL

[mdbl]

6. And don't bring your young daughters near him

with all the firings from sexual harassment claims, why hasn't the congress fired trump? Oh yeah, greedy pigs all stick together.

[tavernier]

7. I have forgiven Joe.

He just played cuts from my favorite movie, Love Actually, where Hugh Grant as the British PM disses the nasty president of the USA.

[dalton99a]

28. That was good

[Ilsa]

41. Yeah, and he made the producer go back and replay

it with the "best part" where Hugh Grant says we may not be a big country, but we are great, the land of Shakespeare, Harry Potter, David Beckham's left foot, etc and about NOT BEING BULLIED.

Joe Scarborough and I have that in common: its a great Christmas movie. I cant believe Mika has not seen it.

[avebury]

9. They had just as much fun poking fun at Lindsey Graham too. nt

[malaise]

16. Missed that - went for our walk

but Chris Hayes and CNN also tore Graham a new one with his own clips

[RandiFan1290]

10. The embedded trolls are trying to defend the dumpster klan

as usual

[kcr]

45. It's got to be a pretty rough day for them.

Going to be really hard for them to keep up the appearances today. Just imagine the torture seeing all the gloating. They want to show their true colors soooo bad.

[Achilleaze]

12. republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is now being dodged himself...

by decent, honest people everywhere. The stench of the "republican family values" role model is overwhelmingly foul.

[malaise]

17. Nicely put

[Achilleaze]

20. U 2 much !

keep on keepin on...

[nycbos]

23. I think Joe sees what he is doing now as his penance for what he did during the election.

[PJMcK]

26. Then he better keep it up for a long time

Scarborough has much to atone for.

[nycbos]

32. Agreed

It is just a theory.

[hatrack]

35. As in the rest of his life

.

[PearliePoo2]

34. He was a call in guest on Stephanie Miller's show (yeah really, pigs are flying) and...

She asked him about that (giving BLOTUS all the air time). Stephanie asked him something like if he had regrets because people accused him of helping him get elected.
Scar said that they should have done some things differently and made some mistakes. He didn't say what those were (that I can recall).
He also said they had a standing invitation for ANYONE (who was a candidate) at ANYTIME could call in or they would book them. He said that donald always took them up, but few others did. He didn't say why Clinton didn't accept their offer.

[samnsara]

24. they are onna roll this morning...ooooo donnies gonna be pissed....

[BumRushDaShow]

25. Youtube of segment and tweet with pic shown on the segment

The National Tree Lighting ceremony was beautiful this evening - but hard not to notice the empty seats. #Christmas #DMV #USA
6:00 PM - Nov 30, 2017

[Cary]

27. I would never go to see that grift weasel

I am so sick of his name being in the news every second. He is trash.

[moonseller66]

29. Donny, Donny, Donny

Donald Trump...
The kind of guy you don't like at first,
then grow to hate.

[Siwsan]

31. Even the trump* loving Daily Mail is having fun pointing out the differences

They even brought the inauguration crowd comparisons into the story.

Today's story headline:

Believe! Hundreds of empty seats are pictured at Trump's Christmas tree lighting ceremony in DC compared to Obama's first switch on where there was a packed house

[dalton99a]

37. People, Whiten Up Your Holidays

[Cary]

33. I always cringe when I agree with mealymouthed Mika

Ok so I don't know if people are that disgusted with #fakepresident but I sure am.

It's not that hard to fill an event when you have 40 million or so cult followers. My experience with cult followers is that they will often go to prison for their cult leader and still not get disgusted.

[SayItLoud]

36. Where's Sean Spicer?

They need to make a call to him and get his view on this huuuuuge non crowd.

[world wide wally]

38. He'll probably brag about having bigger crowds than Jesus at the manger

[left-of-center2012]

39. Trump as the Grinch - and the tax bill

[niyad]

46. I wonder how they feel, knowing that their adulation and unending coverage of the orange

madman is partly responsible for where he is today?

[Gothmog]

47. Look at this comparison
