Is anybody here still watching Morning Joe? [View all]

I ask because I have a question: we said that Joe and Mika went to Mar a Lago twice to "kiss the ring, bend the knee" and was thus allowed to keep their show. But I am watching the show closely and I see them slamming Trump every day. I am not seeing what we expected: lots of explaining away Trump's incessant march towards destroying our democracy and installing his own autocracy.

What happened between their visits to Mar a Lago and now?

My guess is that recent events show just how forcefully J and M's original rationale for bending the knee have backfired and now they see that they are in a different ballpark they weren't expecting. Trump has proved "unmanageable" to them. They are figuring that it is better for them to oppose Trump than go along with him. They helped give him power and now they are desperate to see it controlled.

I kind of enjoy the irony as guest after guest slams (rightfully) just about everything Trump is doing.

What on earth were they thinking? Were they THAT stupid?
