Seems to me that Joe and Mika have really jumped the shark this time. They sound like pompous asses stating that their anti-Trump coverage didn’t work? Their viewers were/are Harris/Walz voters and they are now feeling quite betrayed. Their hypocrisy is astounding. @morningjoe.bsky.social

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.
You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Not exactly the landslide Trump's people keep claiming...
Donald Trump is now (1) below 50% popular vote and (2) has a margin of popular vote victory roughly HALF of Hillary's victory in 2016. They believe the left has to lay down and shut up because of this "landslide" victory.
