MSNBC - Part 34

The original reporting was her contract was up "early next year", for which she negotiated the change. Daily Beast's latest reporting is that the “nightly show will cease to air in its current form around spring of 2022.” So RMS may be around in its current form for a few months.

MSNBC feels like it's in a weird state of flux.

It makes watching the channel very uncomfortable.

I wish she'd hang in with her current show at least until after the midterms, then switch to weekends.

Rachel won't stay, R3.

She's going to take the $30,000,000 and run.

If Rachel is going to do a wig reveal, she should do it like this.

Was Joe "on fire" this morning?

Joe and his idiot wife were obnoxious this morning. He just ranted about not shutting down venues in hard hit areas. He is too worried about feeding his face at restaurants. And Mika was being her usual bitchiness against Danny Deutsch. What is her problem with him? She is always nasty to him. She thinks her family is some sort of Democratic Party royalty. She is desperate to hold on to her late father's coattails and now, once again, will be all hoity toity that her brother is once again an Ambassador to Poland.

[quote] Joe and his idiot wife were obnoxious this morning. He just ranted about not shutting down venues in hard hit areas.

I agree with Joe.

At this point, we have to just trust that most people are vaccinated.

And for those who aren't, then too bad.

[quote] And for those who aren't, then too bad.

With another variant or 2 between now and election day we may be able to reduce the ranks of enough Trump anti-vaxxers to garner an edge in the mid-terms. That's if actual vote counts matter anymore. Wishful thinking I guess.

MSNBC will be in real trouble if Rachel is in fact leaving

none of their shows come close to getting her numbers

her numbers (and all MSNBC/CNN ratings) have been down since the inauguration anyway as many have tuned out

meanwhile propaganda hub Fox is soaring

Brian Williams announced he is leave MSNBC on Nov 9th, chances are he let management know before that, they at the very least should have had some idea, yet they still don't have a replacement, that is a shitty way to run a network.

Exactly, R11.

Rashida Jones should be fired

But, you know...

Mika looks like she is still in her morning robe, doing the show.

I normally do not watch Maddow but happened to watch it last night. What was up with Lawrence O’Donnell blathering on and on and on for five minutes at the top of his hour? Rachel looked seriously uncomfortable and I couldn’t blame her, it was like being cornered by your senile Aunt Shirley at Thanksgiving.

Lol R14.

I wish you had a video of that.

R15 here you go. It lasts for the first 7 excruciating minutes.

Thanks, R16!

Nice to see that Rachel got her haircut in before the Christmas break. So did I.

Rachel got a haircut, or her wig got a haircut?

Lawrence having been a staffer to a senator, loves to talk about the senate and how it works.

Actually he talks about it less than he use to R20, if you can believe that. It use to be he never passed up an opportunity to bring that up or that he was a writer on The West Wing.

Is Rachel's wig on straight tonight?

Why the hell does Rachel wear a wig? Isn't that one of the benefits of being a lesbian... to wear short, easily-styled hairdos?

Dr. Craig Spencer is a cutie pie.

Rachel got a trim. No wig.

R25 Or she had it cut really short and was wearing one until it grew.

There is no need for a conspiracy theory on an issue that is purely derivative. Rachel could be bald and wear royal blue and it likewise would have no bearing. She is no fashion plate Joy Reid. Rachel doesn't have to be.

Someone started a thread saying that Vaughn Hillyard just came out, and posted this photo.

I don't see anything here about him coming out.

lmao another couple that looks like brothers

The thread about NewsTwink coming into his own (and his boyfriend coming into him, because Vaughn is clearly a bottom):

R3, she's smart. She knows it's gonna be a bloodbath, (unfortunately).

So Vaughn Hillyard's gay now?

I can finally fantasize about Vaughn getting his tight little hole stretched by a HUGE cock!!!

Is this thread more active than the other one?

[quote] Jake Sherman 💩 (from Part 33)

Appears that the Sherman hater is a paying member.

Any chance of getting a subscriber to drop a link in Part 33 to this thread? We've had separate discussions going on for several days now.

You can just copy and paste, R35.

Here's Part 33

[quote] You can just copy and paste, [R35].

If only I had privileges, someone perhaps?

John Hielman was dropping 4:20 references to Neil Katyal today while subbing for Nicolle, yesterday he was making references to Jonathan Lemire that Lemire sometimes doesn't wear pants while doing Way To Early.

I don't think Hielman will be doing much more subbing for Nicolle, I didn't mind it but I doubt MSNBC brass will like that type of thing.

[quote] making references to Jonathan Lemire that Lemire sometimes doesn't wear pants while doing Way To Early.

That would be tough considering Lemire starts each show standing out in the middle of the studio. It was a jab following Lemire's dig that Heilemann was nearly unrecognizable in his suit and tie. Piling on with another jab about the Boston Red Sox. And yet another repeat of the pantsless joke. It seemed like a little much, even if these guys like to banter with each other.

He did have a few other jokes - like throwing up in his mouth at the mental image of Mitch McConnell showing a little leg. Slightly more like Morning Joe level discourse.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve! Now it's time for Maddow.

I can't believe that lazy Rachel is at work on Dec 23.

It's a Festivus miracle!!

R35

how do you know they are a paying member?

R42 They were able to post the Jake Sherman turd comment after Part 33 had been closed to non-subscribers.

Thanks to whoever added the link to Part 33.

[quote] John Heilemann is wearing a very sharp bright blue 3 piece PLAID suit today with an open-necked deep blue dress shirt.

Got the color of the shirt right. The suit might have some (non-bright) blue in it, but it's primarily shades of grey. Have you been micro-dosing again? I feel I'm missing out.

On my TV screen John's outfit was much brighter (pleasantly so) than your link, r44. He has great taste and style in clothes and home decor (and eyeglasses).

R45 I like his NYC home decor, esp the kitchen. I've wondered about the brightly colored ceramic figurines of woodland animals. Are they kitsch or valuable collectables?

Only got limited views of his L.A. home on SHO's The Circus. Very modern, like to see more of that.

[quote] I wasn't inferring that Heilemann was gay because of his ensemble. I was inferring that he was HOT! Mmmmmmmm..........

Implying. You were implying, The other DL'er mistakenly inferred from your implication.

Jason Johnson would pick Steve Bannon for who won the year on The Reid Out. I’m so over his dark negative shit. What a miserable man.

This is how the Right is coming for Heilemann. Didn't take long for Kyle to start talking about "accountability".

Rachel is doing This Year in Global Protest.

Heilemann's ceramics look like those by Jonathan Adler.

Capeheart, PLEASE get some speech therapy. I don’t think he has a stutter. He’s just not a good speaker if he’s not reading from a teleprompter. It’s so annoying. “Uh…ah…ugh…umm…” Jesus!

Eugene Robinson is the same way, R52.

I can't listen to him, either.

It's like torture!!!

Nicole and Chris Hayes stutter often

People stutter when they get excited. MSNBC moderators are an excitable lot.

Jacob Soboroff looking gorgeous this morning while co-hosting the Today show. So adorable.

Nicolle Wallace had Tim O'Brien of Bloomberg News on to discuss the candidacy of Mehmet Oz for the US Senate seat of Pennsylvania, unfortunately for Tim he seemed to think that Mehment Oz was running for Governor and talked about Dr. Oz messing with the voting in Pennsylvania if he should be elected Governor and no one bothered to correct him. Steve Schmidt followed Tim speaking and talked about Mehment Oz running for Senator.

These hosts should correct the people they have on their shows when they state something so incorrect.

BTW, I never realized until today how much Mehmet Oz sounds like Menopause.

Soboroff is golden.

So far today, only Joy taking a long weekend.

Rachel?

No Rachel.

Ayman Mohyeldin is covering for her.

[quote] No Rachel.

It's not Maddow time!

R56? I've met the hot Jacob Soboroff. He's very outgoing and handsome.

the Rachel Maddow show lighting is amazing. Ayman looked much better on her show than he does on his own

[quote] No Rachel. It's not Maddow time!

Her dog ate her glasses.

[quote] Her dog ate her glasses.

Is that the network news version of "the dog ate my homework?"

Ayman was on an Al Sharpton "Year in Review" special over the weekend, along with Elise Jordan.

Rev. Al and Ayman were both in tuxedos, and Ayman looked SO handsome.

I was drooling.

[quote]the Rachel Maddow show lighting is amazing. Ayman looked much better on her show than he does on his own

Rachel must look horrible without a ton of special effects.

I think Ayman would make a great replacement for Rachel.

Ayman looks better on HIS show! The lighting & the camera angle. Remember, we get to see full bodied Ayman on his show and his funky socks.

The tux did look good tho.

Claire was on this morning, talking about Harry Reid.

I was so disappointed because it looks like she took her Christmas decorations down.

However, she did have a tray of cookies behind her, so there's that.

MSNBC needs to hire weather twink Matthew Cappucci, ASAP!!!

He could definitely give Vaughn Hillyard a run for his money.

Matthew works for FOX5 in DC.

He might be a Republican.

Rachel is not going anywhere. Sorry, Brandon.

Chris Jansing is an animal doing 11th Hour and then subbing for Rhule.

[quote] Chris Jansing is an animal doing 11th Hour and then subbing for Rhule.

They're giving her the Ali Velshi treatment, making her work late at night and then around and work the next morning.

Chris Jansing tweeted that she's back to anchoring from home (at least in the morning).

Why is this thread grayed out?

Someone must be very jealous of the op.

Jake the turd is back 💩

Unless they're grooming Chris Jansing for the job, I think Tom Llamas might be a good replacement for Brian Williams. He would certainly be nice eye candy to look at plus I thought he was supposed to get a show of his own at some point, most likely on MSNBC?

So far it doesn't appear the execs at NBC really know what to do with him. The only time I ever see him is when he occasionally co-hosts the Today show or turns in some random report for the nightly news with Lester Holt. He may as well have stayed at ABC.

Tom Llamas hosts "Top Story With Tom Llamas," the nightly newscast on NBC News Now, NBC's streaming service. All the networks are beginning to move some of their top talent to their streaming services. I'm not sure if it's a wise move or not, but it seems to be the direction that the networks are headed.

Interesting, R80. I did not know that. Well, perhaps it's been a good move for him after all.

I didn't know Rachel had a brother, I don't think I have ever heard her talk of him.

Clearly, Rachel and her brother share the same barber.

Tom Llamas is adorable.

He wanted David Muir’s job, but jumped ship once that was not in the cards.

Maybe he will get Lester’s job.

NBC did an in Memoriam for the people we lost in 2021 and they left out Roger Mudd who left CBS for NBC and hosted Meet The Press for NBC. That is real slap in the face.

[quote] Roger Mudd who left CBS for NBC and hosted Meet The Press for NBC

Mudd briefly co-anchored the NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, but it didn't work out, and NBC decided to have Brokaw anchor solo. Mudd was pissed and made it known that he was pissed.

I agree that Tom Llamas would be a great Brian Williams replacement. He knows how and when to be serious, and his Today appearances have shown that he has a great sense of humor.

Despite that name, Roger Mudd was hot.

According to Wikipedia:

"Mudd was a collateral descendant of Samuel Mudd (meaning he descended from another branch within the same extensive family tree), the doctor who was imprisoned for aiding and conspiring with John Wilkes Booth after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln."

Rachel's brother looks like Ted Allen, the host of Chopped.

[quote] Ted Allen, the host of Chopped

OG member of the Queer Eye cast, who Jay Leno on-air refused to believe was gay.

Vaughn’s BF looks like a DL denizen, and that he has a bad smell under his nose.

Do we know for sure that's Vaughn's BF or are we just assuming? Is he out?

[quote]Do we know for sure that's Vaughn's BF or are we just assuming? Is he out?

He's not out. But on his Instagram he's always seen with that guy. No trace of a girlfriend ever.

How many times will Lizz Winstead refer to her dog as a rescue dog in this interview about Betty White?!

Ari is actually on tonight and in the studio. But he hasn't mentioned Betty White. Yet.

R96, check the lower right-hand side of the screen to see if it says "LIVE" down there. If not, that means it's probably something he pre-taped before leaving for the weekend.

Oh guess you're right, r97. No "LIVE"

He just did a retrospective of clips over several years since his debut and I couldn't help but notice how much sexier he was with his hair just a little bit longer, showing just the beginning of some curl. Let it grow, Ari!

Katy Tur is now making up for Ari with a huge opening tribute to Betty!

R99, this was from earlier today. Wait for the Winstead interview.

Yeah, they’ve repeated Katy Tur’s show from this afternoon about 7 times already. And Ari’s show was a collection of pre-taped segments.

It's NYE, MSNBC was not prepared for breaking news today.

Story at the link: A brief trip inside the life of an Indian-American super-lawyer, Neal Katyal

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I like Katyal and pretty much everything about him EXCEPT for when he co-signed Gorsuch's nomination to the SC at the start of the Trump years

Kendis is gone from MSNBC!

I will miss his speech impediment and good nature. I wonder what happened? So many are leaving. Miss Rashida must be a beast.

They warned Kendis that he couldn't just respond with the word "Indeed" to every single statement, but it seems it may be hardwired. He's entered into a series of reprogramming sessions, hopefully there's a fix but his days at MSNBC are over for now.

ali arouzi is hot!

Not necessarily:

"A source familiar with the plans told TheWrap earlier this week that Maddow’s schedule is not changing, but they did not specify how long it would remain the same."

R112 :: R1

Why doesn't that diminutive Chuck Todd take his booster chair and move over to Fox or one of the other right-wing outlets? He has constant attacks on the Democrats. His short man complex has gotten worse. He belongs with the deplorables (and he can take his good buddy Andrea "Call Me Methuselah" Mitchell with him.)

MSNBC is going down the toilet.

They need to get rid of this CLOWN Rashida Jones.

She is killing the network.

How so r116?

[quote] How so

Top rated Rachel Maddow: LEAVING.

Top rated Brian Williams: LEFT.

Rachel is not leaving.

Rashida is brilliantly transforming MSNBC.

She's not, R124.

R120 is just being a TROLL.

r115, I DESPISE Chuck Todd!

For the racist Rashida Jones haters, if she’s doing so bad and is so woke and pro-black, how come she hasn’t gotten rid of Chuck Todd yet? I’ll wait bitches!

R126 I don't despise Chuck Todd, but I think Chuck Todd needs to be more middle of the road than other people on MSNBC since he is also host of Meet The Press. If he is viewed as at least not middle of the road, he would never get any Republicans on Meet The Press. How could Rashida Jones dump their host of Meet The Press from MSNBC, when she only controls MSNBC not NBC News. Plus right now she has bigger problems than Chuck Todd, like filling two very huge openings, right now. Not creating a new opening.

Nope, it all went to Joy Reid and her fabulous getups.

Ari is in charge though…handling things very well. Did you notice Navarro’s hands shaking?

Yes, and also noticed how small and delicate his hands are. Ari did do a great job.

That is what Ari wanted. He gave him enough rope...

Rachel is the Cher of Cable News.

[quote] Is there no money in the budget for a hairstylist for Nicolle Wallace?

How difficult can it be? Nicolle looked fine a few days ago when they merely put her in a side part.

Lawrence O'Donnell talking about Cher excitedly was hilarious to me

and I like her but he's a news guy

Nice red tag, loony

He was thanking her for her support of his charity.

They are both philanthropic.

[quote] Lawrence O'Donnell talking about Cher excitedly was hilarious to me

I still remember his on-air tribute to Whitney Houston back when - it was quite extensive, laudatory and heartfelt. He was feeling it.

Rachel was tearing up again as she read the passage in Raskin's book about his son. She really seems like an empath

Joe S. has fhe flare for the drama.

Time for Maddow.

I LOVE Dan Goldman's NYC apartment living room. Huge with a view

I LOVE Dan Goldman, I would love for MSNBC to at least try him out hosting a show, but that won't happen.

Time for Maddow.

Conservative pundit and author Matt Lewis was on Morning Joe this morning, this guy has always been buttoned down conservative looking and now he looks like a damn hippy.

He looks like he is transitioning. He's got the tranny blunt cut.

[quote] Joe S. has fhe flare for the drama.

Joe Scarborough is a huge drama queen, and it cracks me up.

He's an Alabama Southerner, so it's even more mind-boggling when you think about it.

Look at your “source,” r149

[quote] Is Joy Reid about to go straight down the shitter??...

No, she'll have to crawl out of it.

MSNBC should hire Adam Kinzinger after he leaves Congress. He's always on there anyway, and MSNBC loves their former Republicans.

[quote] MSNBC should hire Adam Kinzinger after he leaves Congress.

Just think he could have his old best friend Aaron Schock as a regular guest. Maybe they could host a drunken NYE show for MSNBC.

I’d watch that!

Strangely, I would too R154.

It would be a total train wreck.

North Carolina voters dispute Cawthorn candidacy over Jan. 6

[quote] The 14th Amendment says no one can serve in Congress “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress . . . to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”

[quote] The written challenge says events on Jan. 6, 2021 “amounted to an insurrection” and that Cawthorn’s speech at the rally supporting then-President Donald Trump, his other comments and information in published reports provide a “reasonable suspicion or belief” that he helped facilitate the insurrection.

Wow, did Rachel just tell Trump,

WHOA GIRL, JUST CALM DOWN?

Hilarious.

Is this the first time Rachel played a gay car?

Strzok has been married since the mid 1990s to Melissa Hodgman, an associate director at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Rachel referred to Trump as "gurl" tonight. Is that a first?

"Whoa Gurl. Calm down. What's this about? Easy. Easy."

In another surprise, to me at least, Chris Hayes, and his guest the AG of D.C., both referred to a piece of legislation as the *KLU* Klux Klan Act. Sure, I've heard that mispronunciation before, but from a newsperson, I don't think so. I'm tempted to tweet him. It's embarrassing, almost like nu-KU-lar.

Nicolle Wallace has Symone Sanders has a guest already on her show, they just hired her the other day.

[quote]MSNBC just showed Pres Biden and VP Harris getting off the same plane in Atlanta. I thought that wasn't allowed in case the plane crashed.

Good catch, R176; if separate flights isn't protocol, it should be.

She might have boarded the plane after it landed in order to stage the scene.

Apparently it happened the last time they both travel to Atlanta and VP Harris did indeed take a separate plane Air Force Two, and then went on board Air Force One to walk off with the President.

Where is Jonathan Swan and why must we only get Mrs. Swan?

Maddow time.

Madison Cawthorn Taunts Maddow For Being ‘Afraid’ to Debate Him, Slams Her ‘Woke Dystopian Bubble’

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) has been taunting MSNBC host Rachel Maddow after one of her producers accidentally emailed his office, and shared a concern that he might want to appear on her show.

On Monday, a Maddow producer emailed an NBC News colleague about an attempt by a group of North Carolina voters to prevent Cawthorn from running for reelection this year. The campaign seeks to connect the Republican to “insurrection” with regard to his support for former President Donald Trump on Jan. 6 before the Capitol riot.

Cawthorn’s office was mistakenly copied in the email, in which the unnamed producer expressed concern that Cawthorn might request to appear on The Rachel Maddow Show if the program were to reach out to his office about the story, Fox News reported.

I'd give anything to see Cawthorn on Rachel's show! I wonder if she invited him if he'd really have the nerve to show up?

It is pretty hard to debate someone who just completely lies about everything, you have no idea what they are going to lie about, so you can't even prepare to refute their lies. Rachel would have to go on the attack and not give him a chance to start with his lies and put him on the defense trying to refute her attacks but it just isn't in Rachel's nature to just start right out attacking someone.

Who wants to bet that Rachel's dick is bigger than Madison's?

R188

Make Madison go on Rachel!!!!

I want to see that Rumble.

Mad Crawdad is just another Gym Jordan in a wheelchair.

He would do anything to make Rachel look bad.

He does not need to be given a forum when he has no policies other than a good Trump fascist swallow.

If Cawthorn were to be on Maddow's show, she'd wheel right over him.

By the end of that interview, the poor guy would end up feeling like this . . .

I hate this little bastard.

Anyone else think that email was not an "accident"? I can't imagine Wheelchair Ken's office email would be used that often by anyone at MSNBC to get copied on any internal emails by mistake. Why wasn't it accidentally copied to every address in the sender's contact list? Why just Roller Nazi? It seems to me someone actively sought out the address and "point and click" added it to the copy line, and voila! Instant Low T supporter red meat controversy!

"Big bad libtard news host won't debate our boy Cawthorne! She's afraid to face the true facts! She knows she'll lose! She's so smug and tough spouting her lies on her show! Not so tough now! MAGA! *rump 2024!" 🙄

I don't know. I could be wrong. But this smells to me like the Alec Baldwin incident. Cult followers getting into positions where they can do harm to those who speak out against dear leader.

Agreed R188 ! And Rachel's actually works!

Chris Murphy on Morning Joe this am.

He is soo handsome!

Tim Miller's on Nicole Wallace, sporting a necklace - is he transitioning?

R195

A pearl necklace…

R196 - A Demure Pearl necklace at that. And, his/her blouse is open just enough to ensure it is noticed. A bit of lip color and rouge would complete the look!

[quote] Tim Miller's on Nicole Wallace, sporting a necklace - is he transitioning?

I doubt it, he cut his hair.

Tim cut his hair too. He’ll look like Rachel Maddow before you know it. lol

I think he's kind of cute and reminds me of Dave Grohl.

Marc Caputo left POLITICO after being there 7 years to join NBC News and NBC Politics.

I really want to blow Caputo.

Love Caputo and would watch him every night if anchored an MSNBC show. We can all dream....

Happy Hump Day, time for Maddow.

RACHEL on FIRE 🔥

a dry mist…

About Tim Miller's strand of pearls...I thought the same as everyone above, then I remembered him being in Hawaii over the holidays...so maybe it's some sort of tropical puka shell necklace? Whatever, I like Tim's commentary, especially when he goes in on the evil republicans.

Programming note:

"Love and the Constitution."

Jamie Raskin documentary.

Sunday, February 6 on MSNBC.

I want to see Tim Miller slap the 💩 out of Jake Sherman.

Why is the pile of shit always linked to Jake Sherman?

I don't get the joke.

Tim Miller is the real turd. He constantly bashes Republicans, but then proudly proclaims that he is one. He and Nicolle love to reminisce about the “wonderful” Bush years.

Chris Murphy is a handsome guy. So is Jim Himes.

[quote] I really want to blow Caputo.

He does seem like he'd be into having a guy service him.

Tim Miller has a degree of hotness about him and he is also gay but he is a conservative. I remember a MSNBC host speaking of Liz Cheney saying that they don't agree with any of Liz Cheney's policies but she is right about Trump and Tim made a point of stating that agrees with Liz Cheney's policies.

Joy Reid’s hair looks great and I think she lost weight. She should keep this look.

[quote]Tim Miller has a degree of hotness about him

Joy has looked really wonderful all week. Great (simple) hair/wig, tasteful makeup and subdued flattering clothes/jewelry. I hope she keeps this up.

Marc Caputo looking immensely hot in a tight polo with Chris right now! BDF all the way. Boy, I hope he gets an anchor slot.

Maddow time.

"Pod Save America" ditched Tim Miller as a contributor in 2018 when it was revealed that his PR firm helped organize a campaign to discredit Facebook's critics by trying to link them with George Soros.

RACH!

No Rach!

I want to see more of Ayman Moyelhedin on my tv.

R223 AYMAN MSNBC SATURDAYS 8PM ET AND SUNDAYS 9PM ET

Ayman is apparently prerecorded, because they preempted his show Saturday with Richard Lui to cover the Jewish Synagogue hostage situation in Texas. After the situation was resolved they went back to Ayman who said nothing about the hostage situation.

Also last night they were talking about the hostage situation as ongoing while the breaking news chyron said the hostages were free and the gunman was dead.

Tsk.

If you don’t want to run a 24-hour news channel, don’t pretend you do.

A new week, a new MSNBC.

I hadn't seen him on TV in a while, but Clint Watts was on Morning Joe this AM, and I'm definitely not liking the new large eyeglasses he wore nor did I like that beard.

Another 4 day weekend for Rachel?

We'll see...

She should just resign already, R229.

And stop pretending that she actually cares about her job.

Her job has changed, and she's probably grooming her audience for the changes ahead.

I predict Rachel will say this is a very busy news day or something to that effect. Since she says it every day.

OMG Black folks are on the rampage today.

Biden should have move voting rights before the infrastructure bill.

Biden should have moved voting rights before BBB.

Biden should not have let himself get dicked by S'enema and Manshit for so long.

Poor Biden, being eaten alive by a key constituency.

I love my Joey.

Rachel is here.

Tim Miller is wearing his pearls again tonight. At least he's not clutching them.

Check out the hot beard on Miles Taylor...but his hair is way too high.

“We have a lot to get to tonight, so let’s get started right away.”

As opposed to . . ?

Mika loves to promote herself.

Reporter Marc Caputo (on Morning Joe earlier) has classic BDF.

`I picture Caputo sitting there naked from the waist down while he is on-screen.

R240 - How about Caputo wearing shorts?

R236, I also thought that Miles looked quite fuckable in that appearance.

I see what you're saying about Clint Watts' new glasses.

Clint was on Katy Tur's show on Monday, and his glasses seem to make his nose appear larger. Almost like Groucho Marx.

Otherwise, he's a handsome daddy.

Did you see Chris Jansing announce this morning that Garrett Haake and his new wife are expecting? He said it is a girl due in July.

[quote] Chris Jansing announce this morning that Garrett Haake and his new wife are expecting? He said it is a girl due in July.

Chris Jansing is a female.

[quote] Biden should have move voting rights before the infrastructure bill.

[quote] Biden should have moved voting rights before BBB.

R233, it didn't matter when voting rights came up, it was never getting any Republican support and Manchin and Sinema were never going to support it, you get the easiest stuff done first and then tackle the harder stuff.

MSNBC needs to hire Boris Sanchez to boost ratings.

Kendis Gibson says he wanted to leave 'hyper-partisan' political news

Lester Holt needs to lose some weight, or buy some larger suits or just leave the button undone because that belly is about to bust that button right into the camera.

This video of from last year and the belly just keeps getting bigger.

Garrett Haake announced his imminent baby girl himself on Instagram. Fans here should follow him, he posts a lot of personal photos and shit.

[quote] Kendis Gibson says he wanted to leave 'hyper-partisan' political news

Kendis is dead to me.

If he's even open to Republican talking points, then he can go fuck himself.

Kendis was an embarrassment.

R245, "he" meant Garrett. He was on the live shot when Chris (who I know is a female) announced it. He...Garrett...is the one who stated the gender and due date.

Garrett Haake seems desperate to prove that he's straight.

Just saying.

Madow time.

Ummm, Garrett was never gay to begin with.

Did Rachel have a lot to cover tonight?

She talked about her pants at the end. Her hair was different than Monday. A bit combed over to the side.

Will Rachel make an appearance at 30 Rock to do special coverage with Nicolle Wallace today?

Or phone it in…

I don't know why Biden has to schedule news conferences at 4PM when Nicolle's show is on, that is my favorite news show of the day, No one is going to care if Chuck Todd or Hallie Jackson is interrupted.

At least he isn't interrupting General Hospital. We have to see if "Hat Guy" lives or dies!

When is Maddow’s last week?

r260, 4pm EST makes the nightly news without too much anti-spin on the East Coast.

JEOPARDY! airs at 4:30 pm CST here in St Louis. If he cuts into that, people will go APE SHIT.

[quote] When is Maddow’s last week?

her programming change is reported to begin in "early Spring". If she's not taking any time off, mid-March?

The way Yamiche Alcindor talks really annoys me and she’s long winded.

Rachel is in the cabin.

[quote]The way Yamiche Alcindor talks really annoys me and she’s long winded.

She’s just nasty.

Love Yamiche!

Ashley Parker sucks.

Is she LEZ?

Rachel is back in the barn.

lmao Rachel Maddow in her cabin tonight and guest Suzanne Craig in her wooden kitchen was peak lesbian energy segment talking about Trump's NY fraud case .

[quote] she’s long winded.

and short of breath. My only complaint with Yamiche is that she needs to just take a breath. No one's going to cut her off or shut her down if she pauses to breathe. It's probably a habit developed when she had to fight to be heard.

Proof that Rachel’s “studio” is in Western Mass.

[quote] Suzanne Craig in her wooden kitchen

True to character, Suzanne once had a chain saw in her shot. In the kitchen.

surprised no one here has mentioned how Ali Vitali decided to dye her hair red. I think she looked better with her previous color

R274 Which I've been trying to tell people for the past year.

Rachel shouldn’t work when she is in that barn, it was distracting and embarrassing.

She should have called off rather than broadcast from that barn. She’s always out anyway, nobody would have noticed.

What is with this poster who frequently says Rachel is rarely there?

Ashley Parker is gross & a disgrace!

She misses Dump for press…

He's the Maddow hater, r280. A piece of shit stinking up the MSNBC threads.

there should be an MSNBC Haters thread, for the Maddow, Joy, jake Sherman and newly spawned Ashley Parker haters, et al.

Here for the Sherman & Parker Hate Threads!

So much for Robert Costa appearing on MSNBC anymore. He is going to CBS to report on politics there. What a waste.

[quote] So much for Robert Costa appearing on MSNBC anymore. He is going to CBS to report on politics there. What a waste.

We still have Phil Rucker!

R285 He'll be missed. Speaking of former fatties, why don't we ever see Josh Barro? He used to be something of a regular.

Yamiche started speaking fast because of Chris Matthew's Hardball show. Chris would interrupt her if she even took a breath to pause.

Not only did Costa leave WaPo, so did David Farenthold, who went to the NYT:

Ari looks hot af tonight.

Why, R290?

r290, he looks about the same. The way you’re going on, you would think he was wearing a tank top and daisy dukes and sporting a ponytail.

[quote] Not only did Costa leave WaPo, so did David Farenthold, who went to the NYT:

Wonder if their departures have anything to do with the WaPo owner, Jeff Bezos? or are they just chasing the money?

I love David Fahrenthold. He's hot.

Yes, David is quite hot. And a good reporter, too.

[quote] Yes, David is quite hot. And a good reporter, too.

And so clean. and fresh looking.

Ari was full wigger in the company of another wigger. How come M&M hasn't been on?

Maddow time. Also Chris Hayes just sneezed.

What is going on with Tim Miller, he was on Nicolle’s show earlier, his rats nest hair is back, and he was wearing pearls. Is he about to transition or something? He seems mentally unstable.

R299 Transition hair.

Has Andrew Weissmann been back on MSNBC lately? I haven't seen him in a long time.

When I stare at Frank Figluzzi he transforms into a humanized version of an Area 51 extra terrestrial. I think it's the eyes. Maybe he's amongst us.

I wish we could see young pics of Frank. I bet he was hot in the 80s and 90s

did you all enjoy the whiteboard lesson Katie Porter gave us on Lawrence's show tonight?

Jonathan Lumerie got that Early show because he sucks Joe S’s dick.

MSBET.

I'm going to start watching networks where they don't hate white people.

Nicolle with that chic flat-ironed hair!

For you Jonathan Swan fans, Which Jonathan V Swan are you today?

R308

Jonathan’s wife is on with Nicolle right now.

Girlfriend is not cute.

A few threads ago, I starting touting Mehdi Hasan as a suitable replacement for Rachel. I think he could becaome as big as she is. Maybe someone read my posts. He is filling in for her tonight.

I've always loved Mehdi and find him oddly sexy. And smart. So smart!

[quote] MSBET. I'm going to start watching networks where they don't hate white people.

RIght, I'm fucking sick of them shoving Critical Race Theory down our throats every minute of the day.

And for god sake, ban any mention of Toni Morrison.. That bitch's heretical shit has got to go.

R312 Intended to be in the special sarcasm font - for the hyper literal.

[quote] did you all enjoy the whiteboard lesson Katie Porter gave us on Lawrence's show tonight?

Love Katie Porter, but I fast forwarded through it for some reason. Worth reviewing?

Who is this hot beefcake DUSTIN STOCKTON, one of the Jan.6 insurrectionists who is now very regretful and apologetic, on with Ari Melber right now? He says he would never vote for Trump now.

Love her.

The only ex-Brit I would watch in Rachel's spot is John Oliver. Thanks on the heads up on Rachel taking Saturday Eve off. Back to broadcast.

Haha.

Chris Hayes has been hitting the dye pot....Unless I miss my guess, that's Ashley Madison's "Summer Mink".

R319 Hiyoo.

R319 When do the dye-pot users figure out that it's not the color as much as the monochromatic uniformity that looks so thoroughly fake.

[R321] Exactly. The monochromatic uniformity combined with the flatness is a dead give away. That was one way to tell when Nicole stopped live streaming from the basement and got back in the studio... Whoever did her hair said...."Gurrrlllll, we need to get you some highlights"!

Joe was on fire!

My Boo Steve Patterson was on this morning. Alas, he’s currently engaged to some tilapia.

Joe was on fire about football.

Did dishes.

Is Mike Schmidt in Nicolle’s house???

Tim Miller wearing his demure string of pears again, she’s probably got pumps, and an apron on too.

R324 For some reason I've thought of tilapia as a fish originating in South American waters, or if not then perhaps Asian, but they were in fact farmed on the Nile by ancient Egyptians.

[quote] Tim Miller wearing his demure string of pears again

Maybe he's a fan of Amy Schneider.

Senator Chris Murphy on All In.

His grey beard, Soo HOT!

Rachel is back in 30 Rock tonight. Complete with her 30 Rock pinstripe blazer and 30 Rock hair.

loved Rachel describing the stolen Harry Truman swords

R332 she excels at the tangential backstory.

“We have a lot to get to tonight, but we begin with . . “

I remember a PBS (?) show that took the history of science and wove it with small, incremental breakthroughs to make major changes to society. It was fascinating. Then there is Paul Harvey who would spin a story of seemingly unrelated and inconsequential actions until the GREAT REVEAL: the brain infection was a result of the plucked nose hair!

Rachel weaves a story just as good as those examples. She answers the question, "Tell me how this happened", every night.

Cory Booker-yum 😋

Brian Williams Reportedly Turned Down 'CBS Evening News' Job

CBS is a bunch of fuckers. They got rid of Jim Pelley when he actually reported on fucked up Trump. Nora is lame. Anthony was lame as well.

Maddow time.

[quote] CBS is a bunch of fuckers. They got rid of Jim Pelley

Who's Jim Pelley?

[quote] Who's Jim Pelley?

Scott Pelley's less famous brother.

I think it meant Scott Pelley.

I liked Jeff Glor, but I might have been the only one.

Glor is cute and yes I meant Scott

Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson, who was on Rachel's show earlier, has major BDF.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

can you believe the journalist Kurt Andersen who was on Lawrence's show tonight grew up across the street from Ginni Thomas? crazy how they turned out so differently but started in the same place

R346 I think a lot of people who have trouble making it through Thanksgiving dinner with family members they were born and raised with, are well acquainted with this phenomena.

Ned Price looks like he is sunburned!

Nicole should retire the favoritistic soundbite about "our favorite reporters and friends".

R349 or include friends and bed buddies.

JFC Rachael, what’s the point?

Rachael just needs to stop with the long-winded stories. If I watch her, I fast forward through her monologue.

The 11th Hour with Stephanie Rhule. The 9am Rhule show is going to be absorbed by Morning Joe.

Steph gets 11th Hour!

I like her. Hope she got a big raise for working late

wait they're giving Morning Joe a fucking extra hour? why? Is it really that popular?

[quote] Rachael just needs to stop with the long-winded stories

I don't mind her stories so much, but it's when she starts reading extended passages from a text that it gets weird. Like tuning in to one of her audiobooks.

[quote] wait they're giving Morning Joe a fucking extra hour? why? Is it really that popular?

The real talent is baling out, Rashida's attempts at remaking the line-up have failed, you go with the camera whores on the payroll who at least have an established audience?

OMG Joe & Mika-4 Fucking Hours 😛

Stephanie seems more like morning person.

She's going to hate staying up so late.

Ruhle is a business correspondent. What's she gonna do in the 11 pm slot - dissect the Asian market?

[quote] OMG Joe & Mika-4 Fucking Hours

Well they only show up about half the time.

[quote] Ruhle is a business correspondent. What's she gonna do in the 11 pm slot

She does have the ability to get her Jersey fired up - in her maybe they trying for something less sedate.

I agree Steph is a morning person, but I will be tuning in now because I actually like her. It'll be interesting to see how she handles the late night vibe.

She's only a "morning" person because she's appeared to us the morning. I'm happy to give her a chance. At least it's not Ali Velshi.

I'm glad they added another woman to the nighttime lineup

think about it-until 2 years ago we had

6 PM Ari Melber

7 PM Chris Matthews

8 PM Chris Hayes

9 PM Rachel Maddow

10 PM Lawrence O'Donnell

11 PM Brian Williams

much more balanced now adding in Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle

RACH MADDOW is on fire tonight 🔥

love how she just addressed the feedback on the Irish fishermen planning to confront the Russians' upcoming wargames story lol she even trended 2 nights ago on twitter because of it

Is Rachel Irish ???

R369 Her mother is half Irish/half English. Her father is half Russian Jewish/half Dutch

Gotta love the Murphys!

I have to thank Rashida Jones for curing my addiction to MSNBC. I can't stand the crooked-mouthed, smug, racist Ruhle (the last harpy who should be signing-off nightly) and gave up "Morning Joe" under new year resolutions.

My new viewing schedule begins at 1:00 with Chuck Todd; then Nicolle Wallace at 4:00, followed by Ari Melber at 6:00; and ends with Chris Hays and Rachel Maddow at 8:00 and 9:00, respectively. I might hang in with Lawrence O'Donnell on occasion.

I free! I free!

R371 you watch that much msnbc every day?! How can you stand it?

Why us Ruhle racist?

[quote] Why is Ruhle racist?

She's not of course. And let's also put to bed the silly conjecture that Chris and Rachel are secretly feuding.

imagine 4 hours of this shit…

If you haven't shit canned Chuck Turd you are really a MAGAt looking for Fox Light. No love for Andea?

I avoid that weekday 11 AM to 2 PM block (Craig, Andrea, and Chuck) like the plague. None of them are worth a shit. Craig’s cocky as fuck, and not in a good way, Andrea’s stuttering old ass needs to retire, and Chuck is, well, Chuck, a barf face Republican in sheep’s clothing.

[quote]R371 you watch that much msnbc every day?! How can you stand it?

I was thinking the same thing when I read that.

I watch (DVR actually) the first hour or so of Morning Joe, and then don't return to MSNBC until Rachel at 9 - although not when she has the evening off. And that's it.

When I'm home, I'll watch any number of other things I've recorded - a news broadcast, a movie, an episode of a series - or an my next episode of The Edge of Night on Youtube.

But to sit glued to one network reminds me of my grandmother, knitting in her living room, watching whatever was on CBS after dinner.

IF they are giving Morning Joe four very long hours, I am really surprised they haven't added a POC to the Morning Joe group. Yeah they have plenty of POC guests but still, someone feisty to push back at Joe would make that show much more interesting. Just not someone who will sit there and agree with all Joe's BS.

Watch Ruhle and her interactions with Black men, she can be condescending, at best.

MSNBC is my weekday "background music."

r379, they probably will add a BIPOC to the panel in the new version of Morning Joe. Give 'em a chance.

[quote] Ruhle and her interactions with Black men, she can be condescending

True. She can be condescending, slightly snarky to anyone. Even those she calls "my very special friend".

Melber quoting Hill is giving me ass cramps. From the richest to the brokest my ass is bleeding.

Stop calling it the STIMULUS..

It IS the American Rescue Plan Act.

Joy is wearing a bright pink zipper-hoodie type sweater tonight.

I just can't.

R385 is some sort of weird troll. Tonight, Joy is wearing a yellow-green blouse with big shoulders and sleeves on her show. She’s not wearing a hot pink hoodie.

WTF?

Belarus gets the shows 2 days late.

R386, I am seeing Joy in a bright pink zipper-hoodie type sweater not yellow-green.

You’re right - she is now, R388. The yellow-green blouse must have been in a pre-recorded segment (focusing on Cosby).

I was watching “The Happening” (which is awful by the way) to check this out. Not sure I’m going back to the movie.

That Reid woman is wearing a bright pink chenille hoodie. Think "bedspread."

Who dresses her? Mike Schmidt?

[quote] Joy is wearing a bright pink zipper-hoodie type sweater tonight.

[quote] Joy is wearing a yellow-green blouse with big shoulders and sleeves on her show. She's not wearing a hot pink hoodie.

Is this another one of those optical illusions? Some people see Joy in a pink hoodie. Others see a yellow-green blouse.

No mystery R391. There was a prerecorded segment with Joy wearing a lemony yellow brocade(?) frock. During the live segments of her show she was clad in the chenille pink hoodie.

It was a battle of god-awful garments.

Regardless of when or where, this girl's taste is abysmal!

Ayman!

That’s Mike Schmidt in the background.

It’s starting….

Ben Collins is so beautiful.

Several weeks? She’ll be back in April (that’s at least 8 weeks) and then will take another break at some point.

Can't someone from MSNBC drop off or send Rachel a monitor or a green screen to put behind her so that when she has to anchor from her cabin, it doesn't look like a bad public-access show from the 1980s?

Nicolle & Mike Schmidt’s puppy made mom smile on her show today.

Drop off? She’s in Western Mass. long trip.

Why doesn't Rachel just leave already, if she doesn't want to be at MSNBC any more.

It's kind of annoying, to be honest.

$30 million per year.

That’s $2.5 million per month or $577,000 per week or $115,000 per show.

[quote] That’s $2.5 million per month or $577,000 per week or $115,000 per show.

And for doing what, exactly?

Pfft. They'll save money once she's gone.

Meanwhile, nice work if you can get it.

Maddow time.

[quote]They'll save money once she's gone.

They just renewed her contract for several more years.

$115,000 assuming she works 5 days a week for 52 weeks. In reality, she may be closer to $150,000. And that’s without adjusting for her “sabbaticals.”

jake sherman 💩

Ugh Jake Sherman part 2 💩

How many threads do we have? There’s this and at least two Part 35s started by cheapskates who are locked out.

Nicolle’s hair today is supermodel worthy.

Here ya go.

There is nothing like a scat troll.

Evil shitstained cunts.

pay the $ trolls 💰

This is a pay walled thread. The scat troll is a paid member. If I were a disgusting piece of filth, I would definitely pay to be here spreading feculence.

Last Maddow tonight.

Weeping...

MSNBC should just fire Maddow for not living up to her contract.

[quote]MSNBC should just fire Maddow for not living up to her contract.

But she [italic]is[/italic] living up to her contract:

[quote]The TV star’s new contract will give her a wide range of opportunities across NBCUniversal's news and entertainment divisions as she looks to develop podcasts, documentaries, and other types of multimedia projects.

Rachel Maddow is fucking INSUFFERABLE. Get to the point, bitch. Like this: GOOD RIDDANCE.

RWNJ trolls are so tedious. I don’t get why they have taken residence here. Surely they cannot be getting paid for this “work.” They stick out like sore thumb and are a tiny minority here. Whatevs. Head over to the Andy Cohen threads I say. The net results will be the same.

Rachel OWNS MSNBC. She can do as she likes with her numbers.

Yasmin talks out of one-side of her mouth.

I am a long-time Rachel fan, but I think the writing is on the wall. Remember her show pre-2016?

She really did some good work then: uncovering Fat Christie’s Bridgegate Scandal, the Flint Michigan crisis, and going after Republicans like John Boehner, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney, even the missing MH370!

Guests also would come to the studio.

*sigh* The good ole days….

Who’s filling in for her tonight?

Ayman already filled in for Nicolle.

Is it The Velshi?

Here we go!

Stephanie Ruhle is replacing Brian Williams on "Last Word," but who is going to be MSNBC's main anchor when big breaking news happens? Brian Williams used to show up to anchor when there was live coverage of a huge news event. He also was the main anchor for political events, like presidential debates and election night, joined by Rachel, Nicolle and Joy. I can't see Stephanie serving as MSNBC's breaking news anchor, and it seems that Rachel is gradually reducing her responsibilities to focus on other things like podcasts. MSNBC needs someone in its weeknight lineup with the gravitas and anchoring experience of Brian to be available for big, breaking news.

Rachel's "sabbaticals" are going to be the death of Ali Velshi. My God, it seems like he works around the clock. I hope he's getting paid fairly for all the abuse he is put through. Rachel needs to fuck off. MSNBC always runs on a skeleton crew. It's not fair and as stated up thread, she clearly doesn't want to be there. What the fuck do she and Susan do with all that money anyway?

Rachel is never going to return to a daily show. Give the time to Velshi. He’s good.

I think they ought to go for the Williams charm offensive and use John Heilemann. I just wish he had hair.

Have we seen Clint Watts on this network??? Who is this handsome man on my television?? Oh what I would pay to Eiffel Tower with him and Ayman…..

Nicolle Wallace turned 50 on Friday 🎉

Wonder what Mike Schmidt is doing for her to celebrate this week…

R432. Oh yes, we know who Clint Watts is, we’ve discussed his BDF a good deal, he’s DL’s boyfriend.

Well, Watts is [bold]one[/bold] of DL's boyfriends.

Jim Himes is FINE!

Nicolle is POZ.

Nicolle has lockdown remote hair!!!!

Next time Nicolle and the Debutantes (Katie, Stephanie and Halle) start whining about Covid exhaustion and wanting to go out to dinner and on vacation and returning their children to school, please remind them of how sick Nicolle was this time around and how she returned to the airwaves looking like lukewarm shit.

Mask up and shut up; this bitch ain't done with us yet.
