MSNBC - PART 41

Katy Tur is acting her heart out during this queen thing.

Has Ali Velshi always used his hands so much when he talks? I don't remember him doing that. I use to one of his biggest fans from way back when he was on CNN and now I can't stand to watch him.

WTF did Steph Ruhle do to her face last night?? Hopefully, it was just some bad makeup and not something more drastic.

I wish someone would reply to Tur's favorite "how do you feel" question with:

"How the fuck do you think we feel--they've cancelled all our soccer matches for this!"

There was some scary lipstick drama going on, R3; her upper lip looked ready to peel off and fly home.

Yeah, I don't get it, r5. There was a brown line around only Ruhle's upper lip and her eyes just weren't hers. But has she been away long enough (or at all) for the healing to occur if it was plastic surgery? Such a pretty girl, why can't she leave herself be?

r1, Katy Tur needs to repeat the phrase The Sussexes at St. James's.

Saint James-iz.

It appears that Red M removed Part 40.

Hmmmmm,........why do you suppose?

R8 So odd.

Queen Consort sounds like Prostitute.

Camilla, Queen Courtesan

Senor Wences and his puppet! That's what came to mind after seeing Stephanie Ruhle last night.

R12 Well there goes Velshi's bid for that slot on CNN.

MSNBC was interviewing British people outside of Buckingham Palace on Saturday, and there were a couple of cute straight guys who started hugging each other and pretending to be in mourning.

It was weird, but funny.

How did you know they were straight, r16?

OMG it’s 9/11…enough about the Queen.

CNN is fucked up but at least they are showing 9/11 memorial. MSNBC is getting off on the royals this weekend.

Another illustration showing MSNBC is little more than TMZ with pretensions.

Love TMZ. Love MSNBC. Love, love, love.

R21 Me too. Love pretense as well. Love it.

DL fave Morgan Chesky co-anchored "Morning News NOW" on Monday.

Stephanie's eyes and lips seemed back to normal last night. So that's good.

I noticed, R23. He's a good looking guy, but he seems to be more attractive reporting in the field than on the anchor desk.

Morgan Chesky is aided immeasurably by a few opened buttons at his clavicle.

Steph is on right now with Jose and she looks like she's not wearing any makeup at all. Her hair is just casually pulled back from her face.She sure doesn't look like she's had any work done.

Garrett Haake is the one with anchor potential. I think he's on paternity leave.

Nicolle is on a roll today !!!

Morgan is all about that prodigious neck and exposed plunging neckline. Love him in profile.

I was prompted to make a hackneyed comment about cookies, but on reexamination he looks a bit like a serial killer in waiting.

[quote]Morgan is all about that prodigious neck and exposed plunging neckline.

Now if only his pants began plunging.

Morgan Chesky and Steven Romo co-anchoring! Yum!

R32 In an earlier thread there was some disagreement over what trouser assets he possesses. a snack or a meal.

What is Joy wearing?

And how did she manage to turn a short crop wig into a MOHAWK?

Jen Psaki!

Jen looks gorgeous on the show!

Hmmm, Alex Wagner showed a clip of Adam Kinzinger when he appeared on Morning Joe this morning, however she just described it as a clip from earlier on MSNBC today. I see Rachel's staff is carrying on the feud with Joe Scarborough.

I know I'm the minority here, but I like Joy Reid...but what the fuck? She needs to pull herself together, her clothes and hair are a distraction from the important stories she's covering.

Alex is growing on me, I was a little put off at the beginning, She's a little too pretty or perky, but I'm warming to her.

R39 - I wish Chris Jansing would take that Reid woman shopping; hell! I'd welcome Rachel Maddow providing her with wardrobe advice!

What. A. Mess.

R37 On which show did Jen appear?

R38 Ari likewise showed a clip of Berman being interviewed from MJ without referencing the source. Morning Joe was clearly tagged in the corner of the clip. Probably no feud involved.

Jen Psaki was on with Alex Wagner last night, r42.

R44 Thanks.

Yes she does look good, but somehow I had never noticed before how very dark her eyes are. Slightly off-putting on a redhead. Not anywhere near as disturbing as the black-eyed blond Gwen Stephani effect.

Extensive Brandon today on set opening Deadline WH, Looking much more comfortable in his skin, and even cracking a smile multiple times.

R46 Even wisecracking that he's no Neal Katyal!

I live for Neal Katyal's smirks and side eyes!

No Rachel on Monday?

Is Alex taking over the slot?

Has Rachel forsaken us?

Is Rachel attending the Queens funeral?

Happy to see my cutie Harry Litman's getting a lot of air time; he and Neal should co-host a justice series.

Stephanie looks "off" again tonight. Might there be a bun in the oven?

R48 Katyal is now also the purveyor of the extreme off-the-wall analogy. Didn't he reference Kap'n Krunch or Fred Flintstone recently.

I do prefer his to those of the unfunny John Oliver.

I ,love Neal and Andrew and Harry but I wish Glenn Kirchner would appear more often. So many hot lawyer daddies!

You can get a consistent flow of Glenn and what he has to say on his YouTube channel.

I just wish Glenn would unbutton a bit. Even on his Insta account he's usually dressed up in a suit and tie.

They pick Andrea Mitchell to anchor in London !!!

That would have been Don Lemon anchoring had the QUEEN died a year ago

The amount of coverage of the Queen's death has received is remarkable. Everything that can be said has already been said hundreds of times over, by hundreds of talking heads, everyone repeating themselves and each other. It's a nice break from the Trump wall-to-wall, but at least that has daily new developments. I suppose if Trump were to kick it, owing to a fatal stroke from all the Diet Coke he guzzles, coverage might be similarly overdone.

i’m over this queen stuff 👑💎

Walk away, r59.

[quote]i’m over this queen stuff 👑💎

R59 = Miffed Joy Ann Reid because MSNBC, in a rare instance of attention to viewer complaints, kept her tacky ass stateside and instead sent Chris Jansing to cover the events.

Watching ERII’s funeral on MSNBC… they have Michael Beschloss commenting on the BRF leaving the chapel, and my husband asks “What’s up with that one eyebrow?”

I asked him “what eyebrow?” Thinking he was talking about Brooksbank exiting. He says “That man’s eyebrow! That man talking!”

I look up and Michael has only one eyebrow “painted” or made up or whatever. He def needs to hire Andrea’s makeup artists when she retires. They never let her look as demented as she really is. And sadly, Michael is following quick on her heels.

Posting here as well as the funeral thread because shortly after I see Katy Tur pull that condescending act on Andrew ON CAMERA as is she’s Lady Gaga wheeling Liza around stage while simultaneously cleaning up dribble off Tony Bennett’s chin.

I’m amused by it all and am here for the inevitable blood bath.

Funky eyebrows.

R62: Beschloss's eyebrows have been distractions for the past year or two (see his online images). I think he has a habit of raising one for emphasis and maybe overcompensating with makeup; that, or perhaps it is due to illness.

Imagine if Joy got picked to report this royal mess.

Hats, hats, hats, HATS!!!!

When does the King get to wear a crown - or have I missed that?

After he's crowned, r67.

R63 Whoever did his makeup must have been drunk.

He probably does his own makeup, was distracted and forgot to look in the mirror before going live.

R70 Whoever did it painted a Joan Crawford eyebrow- on one side only. I love it.

What Happened To Your Eyebrow?

[quote]Whoever did his makeup must have been drunk.

Perhaps the guy passed out (or got exhausted) after doing only one eyebrow.

It's a very droogie variation on the single eyed false lashes. Next he'll be sporting a bowler hat, protective cup and walking cane.

Sam Brock anchoring with Joe Fryer on NBC News Now this morning! Hot!

The word 'potentially' finds its way into each and every sentence Hallie Jackson utters on camera.

David Fahrenthold is still hot as hell. He looks like real life Clark Kent.

I love him cause he's just so clean. super clean.

Did Harry Litman get in a fight?

With the backdrop of her kitchen and giant ceramic cupcake, Jackie Alemany has been hiding what a nice place she has.

[quote] Did Harry Litman get in a fight?

That looks like an exceptionally circular black eye. Like he got punched with a highball glass.

Senator Chris Murphy is SOO FUCKING hot 🔥!!!

R80 Even Room Rater referenced the cupcake.

R80, she comes from serious money.

Her mother:

Ellen Rose Alemany is an American business executive. She is the chairwoman and chief executive officer of CIT Group, an American bank. She is also chair, CEO, and president[1] of its subsidiary CIT Bank.[2] Until 2013 she was head of RBS Americas, a US subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Scotland.[2]

In 2020 she was included in a list of "most powerful women in banking" published by American Banker.[3]

The tenor of her speaking voice kind of oozes privilege.

R85 Very first time I heard her speak, I seriously thought she was doing some weird impersonation Ivanka Trump.

All these reporters come from $….how would they survive on $50,000 a year.

Yesterday it was mentioned Joe Scarborough had covid. Today we learned Mika is "under the weather."

Did he get covid in London?

Finally went through my Roku streaming channels, like a thousand of them, and found the NBC exile channel, NBC Now. There are TWO gay men anchoring the AM slot

Steve and Stephen

Steve Romo gets me hard. His wedding pictures get me hard.

Our dear Harry Litman's left eye is looking a bit better today.

Strzok always seems so impeccably dressed and groomed for his brief on air appearances.

Don't let the Orange One know that Pete has Top Secret and Confidential cover sheets in his office.

[quote] Don't let the Orange One know that Pete has Top Secret and Confidential cover sheets in his office.

I saw those taped to his book shelf and thought that was what they were but they were too far away to be sure.

The Top Secret cover sheets are new, he use to have a guitar there.

[quote] Joe Scarborough had covid. Today we learned Mika is "under the weather."

Right wing lies. The pandemic is over

What have they done to my Harry???

Don't make Miss Peanut and me pay a well-care visit to 30 Rock!

[quote]Right wing lies. The pandemic is over

He didn't say the disease was over.

Mr. Beschloss' eyebrows are back in order tonight, thank god. And they both look totally normal. I can't imagine what was going on the other day.....maybe the lighting in home was off?

Is Aymon getting hotter? He's subbing for Lawrence tonight and looking finer than ever. The beard suits him. Maybe he's had the services of a great dermatologist or, at least some excellent stylists/groomers?

Very handsome man!

He's definitely increased his level of confidence since beginning to anchor - as would be expected - but I think that lends to his attractiveness.

He's got such great natural skin tone, enhanced by the sun, too bad they chose to make him up so heavily with that continuous tone ochre.

Nicolle is really on fire this afternoon with a prolonged interview with Michael Cohen, who's not holding anything back, including some venom for MSNBC friend Geoff Berman. Great stuff!

So it's the same as any of the last 2,145 days on MSNBC

How bad was the fire? I hope she'll pull through!

Michael Cohen is great TV, I have a hard time trusting what he says because of his past though. Only reason I put any trust in what he says is that it will completely destroy what is left of him if he is found to be lying.

Andrew Weissmann was talking about having a conversation with two high placed retired FBI agents where they didn't think Trump would be charged with any crimes. Man I would have loved to eavesdrop on that conversation.

[quote]Andrew Weissmann was talking about having a conversation with two high placed retired FBI agents

I wonder if they were predisposed Trump employees who knew the saboteurs they left behind working at the DoJ?

Trump will skate from all of this - maybe not the GA elections meddling - but it will all end up as more fodder for his endless claims of a corrupt witch hunt.

Nicolle Wallace Schmidt looking like a fashionista today!

If you corn-rowed her hair, she would look like Bo Derek.

I like the non-uniform clumpy eyelash look. She adopted that a couple months ago. I'm no make-up aficionado but it somehow manages to look natural.

Anyone else see they had a roundtable on the 11th Hour last night? I haven't watched MSNBC closely but the energy at the table felt familiar, like all the people were too excited to be there--Steph included.

Have they been bringing the roundtable back on other shows? I missed it dearly.

Think John Heilemann was in Eataly Flatiron today. He was wearing a KN95 mask with his black glasses. If it was him—definitely tall, but not as buff as he comes across on TV.

And no ass to fill out those jeans..

Nicolle had a round table the other day with Jonathan Lemire, Andrew Weissman and a third person I can’t remember. The first one I can remember her having in a very long time.

She recently had a 3 person panel that included Vaughn, seated very closely next to Harry Litman, where he talked about fringy election officials. He was wearing a very cool black on white tie like I had never seen before.

MSNBC political contributor Dr. Jason Johnson claimed he can see a “blame game” being set up against Black voters, especially Black men, ahead of potential Democratic Party losses in the midterms.

While discussing the upcoming midterm elections and various voting groups on MSNBC’s The Cross Connection, Johnson pushed back on Black voters being blamed for the “failings on the part of the Democratic Party.”

“Black men get blamed, and Black people in general get blamed, for failings on the part of the Democratic Party,” he said, arguing pundits could say Black voters didn’t “turn out” if Democrats face major losses.

“The vast majority of Black men are still voting for Democratic candidates, but the question and the thing I hear from people all the time that’s important is, what has the Democratic Party done for Black men?”

“That’s a fair question,” Cross agreed.

Johnson argued the Democratic Party “doesn’t always support” Black voters, but they should be more focused on them.

On The Cross Connection last week, pundit Roland S. Martin made a similar argument, claiming the Democratic Party’s biggest problem is “White strategists” are the decision makers and they are ignoring Black male voters.

“What you’re seeing are Black men who are saying you’re not paying attention to me, you’re ignoring what’s happening when it comes to economics you’re ignoring me when it comes to the critical issues,” Martin said.

When John Heilemann was sitting beside Michael Cohen on Nicolle's show the other day John seemed physically bigger than Michael. Really surprised me. Great show btw.

R115

John Heilemann is definitely 6’5… super tall. He just doesn’t look as broad and buff as he comes across on MSNBC & The Circus.

Is John Heilemann as big as Chris Hayes? Chris has grown larger and stronger since he's been working out.

I had no idea about Heilemann's height!

Hayes is 6'7"

haha Chris Hayes is barely 5’10

I love listening to Cohen, he's so Jersey, sounds like he should be narrating a Scorsese movie.

^ actually Lawn Guyland, but otherwise I agree.

R114, Jason Johnson is completely full of shit. And anyway, it’s suburban women who will determine this election, not black men.

What is with all this crap about Democrats having to pay attention to this group or that group or they will spite themselves and vote Republican. Pure bullshit. That's why I think the gay community came so far and so fast because they supported the Democrats 100% BEFORE any election. Gays treated the Democrats like a pro sports team going into battle for the gays. Total support. The negotiation took place behind doors AFTER the elections. Boo fucking hoo that black men feel ignored. Lazy fuckers. Black women have been protecting them for years. And now Latinos. Fuck you for threatening Democrats before an election so that you can get some sweet public ass kissing. Assholes. You get no ass kissing if your puffed up overly expectant asses do not show up and vote for Democrats. And just like Black men, if you vote God, Family and THEN country, you are pre-fucking yourselves for disappointment. What assholes. Let me review, show up in force, donate plenty of cash, and guarantee the vote for Democrats. THEN you can negotiate, behind the scenes, for your piece of the pie when Democrats are in power.

Chris Hayes reaction to his DL MSNBC fanboy:

Seriously?

[quote] That's why I think the gay community came so far and so fast because they supported the Democrats 100% BEFORE any election.

I wish that was true and yes a large majority did and do but if that statement was true there wouldn't be an organization call The Log Cabin Republicans.

I do not consider Log Cabin Republicans part of the gay community. Isn't one of their credos, my sexuality is such a small part of who I am that I am not defined by it? Fuck them. They have exempted themselves.

1st Nicolle, now Yasmin.

Did MSNBC just upgrade the wardrobe & makeup department??

Rachel will be on Monday and Wednesday nights this week.

[quote] Rachel will be on Monday and Wednesday nights this week.

They're sweating trying to keep Trump news distracting from Biden

2022 is a referendum on SCOTUS, suck-ass GOP governors, and crackpot MAGA candidates.

[quote] They're sweating trying to keep Trump news distracting from Biden

the bad news on Trump generates itself.

Yay! Wednesday will be more Jan. 6 hearings in the afternoon so I'm thrilled Rachel will be on that night.

And it won't be the last, according to Liz.

Liz will be campaigning against election deniers and for Democrats in those races.

Not hearings. A staged mini-series

Check out a hot, younger Ari Melber:

He looks like he still has Bar Mitzvah Bonds.

Nice but I actually think he's hotter now.

Nice lips!

[quote] A staged mini-series.

Emmy-worthy. Stay tuned.

It's definitely been a lot more dramatic and entertaining than that stupid and over rated The White Lotus.

R142

Ari Melber’s ex-girlfriend was in that show!

Who is Ari's ex-girlfriend, r143?

R144

Alexandra Daddario

Handsome as he is, there's something very asexual about Ari. It's hard for me to picture him seducing a woman (or a man, for that matter). Seems like quoting rap lyrics is as far as he goes.

I see him delivering a protracted seduction, and then baling once it actually gets hot. The definition of a serious tease.

the livid-eyed Alexandra.

Oh I missed RACH !

It's Maddow Monday!

David Corn is on with Rachel right now. His facial hair nicely distracts from his lack of a top lip.

David Corn looked hot! Great styling and the haircut and beard trim really suits him.

Ari is super sexy, but he loses his appeal when he starts quoting rap lyrics.

I hate his mixing rap with the news, it's distracting...If I want to be distracted I'll tune into my cooking shows.

When Heilemann comes on with his big aviators, if you blur focus you can easily believe you're looking at Hunter S. Thompson. Especially while he's wearing that shit-eating grin. All he needs is a cigarette holder to chew on.

I think he's fully aware.

You know when Rachel starts with, "It was almost 100 years ago...".

Just sigh and settle in.

For those who don't watch Rachel's show, the reason she did that was to discuss the fascists' rise to power in 1922.

Some time after they were yanked out of power, the organization Brothers of Italy was formed in which one of the subsequent leaders declared, "We are all heirs of Mussolini."

That led Rachel to that party's latest head, Georgia Meloni, who will be Italy's next PM, and who in the past met with Steve Bannon, was invited to the National Prayer Breakfast in DC by the Republican Party, and who spoke a few months ago at CPAC.

OK, that opening was good but when Rachel was on all week, she would pound American fascists for a whole week if not more. This once a week crap is not a format for Rachel. The entire fake electors' sedition is a Rachel subject that only Rachel had, that she pounded week after week. Then, boom, it hit the J6 committee radar as a point to be connected.

Rachel can't do that once, if that, a week. Once a week is like jerking off to a memory of how good she was. OK, but not satisfying.

You don't honestly think that the J6 committee wouldn't have looked into the fake electors scheme unless RM discussed it on her show, do you?! That's laughable. They are more than capable of addressing things without the input of the blinking, pregnant-pausing, soliloquies presented by the black blazered one.

Hallie Jackson today said 'sex assigned at birth' with a straight face (in a story about Virginia schools).

r159, All I know is that Rachel beat the drum on Fake Electors, the J6 Committee picked up on it and finally the DoJ issued subpoenas. As we say, connect the dots.

Agree, Rachel once a week show ain’t cutting it

I know this will sound weird, but doing the trump years, I could see her lose her spark. So, it didn’t come as a surprise, when she cutback

[quote] doing the trump years, I could see her lose her spark

Tedium from five years of Groundhog Day would wear down anybody

Wow, I'm shocked by how much everyone at CNN at MSNBC aged during the Trump years. Except for maybe Wolf Blitzer who looks essentially the same.

Baron Trump has really aged as well.

Congress is going on recess again.

Seriously do these ppl ever work?

It is election time, normally they aren't in session this much with an election just around the corner.

Now that today was postponed, have they announced yet when the next Jan. 6 hearings will be?

Any tight-fitting, unbuttoned-shirt sightings of Morgan Chesky from the hurricane zone yet?

No, he's been bundled up, in a ball cap looking rather butterfaced.

Andrea Mitchell is the last person you want to have broadcast during a catastrophe; her response to the field reporters was pretty much "I don't know what to say, so I'll just blunder and giggle."

And, as always, Katie Tur and Nicolle "yuck yuck" Wallace could barely contain their laughter while covering the hurricane. WTF is the latter's problem?

Give those three imbeciles the day off tomorrow and have Chris Jansing takeover the afternoon time block. She and Ali made quite the impressive crisis team today.

Surprisingly, Yasmin Vossoughian does well during crisis reporting. She was reporting live from the Capitol grounds on Jan 6th.

[quote]Katie Tur and Nicolle "yuck yuck" Wallace could barely contain their laughter while covering the hurricane. WTF is the latter's problem?

Republican.

Sam Brock in a quilted jacket and cap loses all his sex appeal.

Chances Lawrence does Hurricane coverage?

[quote] WTF is the latter's problem?

She was chuckling at all the morons in Naples FL who would leave their cars parked on the street one block from the beach.

That's certainly laughable! I was listening to a woman on the news this morning that left Florida. Everyone was telling her the hurricane was going to miss Florida she was like F' that. Was Dump perhaps at the "weather map" again?

Was Mar-a-Lago hit by the hurricane?

And if not, why???

Because the gods of weather don't care about your obsessive hates and masturbatory fantasies ?

Florida's hurricane season runs through until Nov. 30th. There's still hope.

On the other hand it would just be another opportunity for Trump to grift off the Federal gov't.

My daughter in Fla says their property was unharmed but the power has been out since late last night. And the kids are really pissed the internet is unavailable.

Why isn't muscular buff Chris Hayes in a tight shirt out in Florida covering Ian?

Saw DL favorite, Chuck Todd, on the Sunday show.

R182 The dad-bod Chris is more comfortable in relaxed loose-fitting garb.

Sam Brock looks much better wearing a cap than without.

I wasn't surprised to see Ali Velshi in the hurricane, they tend to send him to catastrophes. Storms, war, you name it.

Joy Reid cut off Ron De!

Ali Velshi lost those LBS!

Looking like a trim, fit snack.

Ryan Nobles Joins NBC News as Capitol Hill Correspondent

What happened to Garrett Haake?

Opps forgot the link

Perhaps Garrett is out on paternity leave? His Insta is all about his new born baby.

Any guesses as to Rachel's hot topic tonight?

Please lord, just don't let it be about Ian.

I hope Rachel will spend some time discussing the disparity in response and recovery efforts for Puerto Rico and Florida.

[quote]The dad-bod Chris is more comfortable in relaxed loose-fitting garb.

He is dad bod doesn't match his boy face. I wish I could find the clip but there was a show once where they put him in a blue and white strip t- shirt and a blazer. He went on air with Rachael looking like a little baby dyke. Even she couldn't resist and saying or almost laughing "you look adorable".

And so he never wore a t-shirt again.

Chris Hayes has beautiful eyes and hair but everything below is meh.

Chris Hayes has a bloated face and a doughy bod. If he really works out a lot, he must be eating like a pig.

I hope Rachel spends the whole hour on Ginni Thomas

Oh Ryan Nobles was a big deal at CNN. All the CNNers are getting out of there fast!

Rachel needs to talk about Coco Chow!

What has Joy done to her eyes? Her upper eyelids don't fold any more.

Rachel Maddow is wearing shimmer lipgloss.

Such a fashionable lesbian!

Ameila Earhart -> Rachel has a new podcast -> Sedition court case

You never know what you're going to get when you watch.

I wonder if Morgan Chesky's parents named him after Chesty Morgan.

Twins!!!

Gotta to hang?

Hayes has some big muscular arms in that picture

Such a handsome couple!

Where, R206?

My 58-year old arms are more ripped than Chris in that pic.

Twins

Alex Wagner interviewed MAGA Maggie Haberman.

No bueno, chica.

How long before Alex Wagner is back on The Circus with John Heilemann?

Between Chris Hayes' upspeak and "like" and Wagner's vocal fry, I'm annoyed with both.

Replacing the second-biggest star on prime time cable news is where Alex wants to be. The Circus? That’s on her rear-view mirror.

Has Heilemann appeared on Alex's show yet? I haven't been watching consistently enough to know.

She has aired a few casually dressed in the field interviews that she's done mostly of candidates. I assumed they might also be shared content with the Circus.

So the stupid bitch is now laughing uproariously while discussing donald's racism and GQP promises of violence.

Get some help, Nicolle.

Run for your life, Steve Schmidt!

Chris Hayes is reasonably buff but would have more definition if he gave the carbs a rest.

Tim Miller has got to ditch that strand of pearls. I can't take him seriously with that look.

Nicolle loves all these NYT Reporters because they work at Mike’s company. And they back up her shows.

You think she would have liked Maggie Haberman in the Bush years???

[quote]You think she would have liked Maggie Haberman in the Bush years???

Yes, because Haberman (and the NYT) steers increasingly right of center.

Chris Hayes seems like the type of guy whose diet consists mostly of pizza, wings, burgers, and fries washed down with lots of beer.

Even Claire McKaskill knows, if you want to be taken seriously, you don't show up in a strand of pearls.

Maggie Haberman's reporting that Trump thought a classified photo he tweeted should be left marked top secret, because that's what makes it "sexy" - that just about says it all.

Would ❤️ to top Tim.

Tim Miller and Vaughan Hillyard together at the Blake Masters rally in AZ was such a weird segment

I thought that footage looked CGI, R224. Strange.

How come no one mentions the sexy Ken Dilanian ? Am I the only one who has taken notice of how gorgeous this guy is ?

Tim looked all gawky awkward and sweaty, giving a N.Bates vibe. While Vaughn was cool and almost macho by comparison.

[quote] How come no one mentions the sexy Ken Dilanian ?

They're fawning over either of the Chris'es - the buff and studly Chris Hayes, or the drop dead dreamy Sen. Chris Murphy. We're still pondering an explanation for that.

Adding Ken to the list. Personally I think he really needs to get his teeth whitened.

[quote] Personally I think he really needs to get his teeth whitened.

Ha! You're so mean.

He needs to lose a good 40 pounds.

Lap-band candidate for sure.

R228

HOT CHRIS MURPHY for the win!

His only flaw is that he married an ugly, older lady he can’t stand to be around!

In September, on evenings “Alex Wagner Tonight” aired, MSNBC saw a stunning year-over-year drop from 2021, when Maddow hosted. In the key 25-54 advertising demo, Wagner’s show lost 50% of Maddow’s audience, sinking from an average in 2021 of 304,000 demo viewers to 151,000 in 2022. And in total viewers, the numbers were down 34%, from 2.4 million to 1.6 million.

at this point most people only tune in when there's some really big breaking story

calling developments to existing stories "breaking news" every night just won't cut it.

I think it's important to watch news every day but sadly most don't.

R232 If I were making a case for HOT CHRIS MURPHY, I would certainly work to find better photo than that.

It looks like an unflattering age progression of Jared Kushner.

Someone here mentioned that Ken is married to an Asian woman. We know what that means on the DL.

[quote]Vaughn was cool and almost macho by comparison.

Vaughn macho?

No surprise that Wagner is faltering in the ratings. Has she or anyone at MSNBC seen her show ? It's horrible.

She speaks in a monotone voice with no emotion whatsoever. Most nights I'm falling asleep just 15 minutes in. They really couldn't find someone more dynamic to fill that hour ?

R238

Also her set seems so informal for 9pm primetime anchor.

Seems like she wants to reach Gen Z & not a serious anchor like Lawrence, Maddow & Steph.

When I tuned in to Chris Hayes the other night he was armwaving and emoting like he was in a Broadway show. If that's the alternative, I'd rather have her. (But actually I rarely watch any of these people and would rather just read a newspaper, so I guess I'm not the target audience.)

I've been keeping MSNBC on mute, I can't deal with the hysterics.

[quote] When I tuned in to Chris Hayes the other night he was armwaving and emoting like he was in a Broadway show.

Clearly you don't watch Joy Reed, she was waving her arms around so much the other night I thought she might actually levitate out of her seat.

"Also her set seems so informal for 9pm primetime anchor.

Seems like she wants to reach Gen Z & not a serious anchor like Lawrence, Maddow & Steph."

That's just it - I don't think she's focused on a target audience. Exactly who is she trying to grab as viewers on weeknights at 9 ? I don't think it's the Maddow audience, that's for sure. There's no alternative at CNN in that hour, and sometimes I'm tempted to switch over to H-H-H-H-H-H-Hannity, which lasts 30 seconds before I catch him in a lie and click away.

Chris Hayes always uses his hands. When he has a guest at the desk he often reaches over while making points. I don't mind but it's a funny quirk

Rachel is now shilling another podcast. I love her show but am annoyed she is only 1 day a week (and special occasions). It's like she doesn't want to be there anymore but still wants to use her platform to make even more money

Chris Jansing would have been a better choice for the 9pm hour; Alex Wagner's voice, demeanor, and habit of interrupting her guests are too annoying for that time of night.

Politically, Ken Dilanian appears to "dress right." Ack!

Alex has that somewhat smirky, sometimes sarcastic delivery - and we're in on absurdity of it all attitude. Set design is over the top. Her ratings suck. She looks fine. I really like watching her. I hope they keep her.

[quote] Her ratings suck.

R246 on what do you base that comment?

Friday Sept 30 the first day I could find Alex Wagner had the highest rated show on MSNBC and higher than anything on CNN.

[quote] Vaughn macho?

His forearms looked positively beefy next to Tim's matchsticks.

Eeks Alex Wagner !

R247 Thanks for the correction. I was simply conceding to the claims of the naysayers here, despite my favorable feelings for Alex and the show. Hopefully she'll be given the chance to establish a wider audience of loyal viewers.

Wouldn't Ari have been the best choice for the 9 pm slot?

And btw, he also is always flailing with his hands.

R232 Hot? WTF?

John Heilemann for 9pm !!!

Or, may I suggest Alex Wagner and Heilemann co-host?

Heilemann needs a show on MSNBC, I don't even care if he shares with Alex.

I can take or leave Alex Wagner. I don't think she's long for that slot. However....Ben Rhodes....Oh god, I wanna do dirty things to that man. You know, in your heart of hearts, that he is a mean, dirty f**k that could go on for a very long time without any protest from me. He could ride my smile for hours!!!

Bets on how long Wags lasts?

I like Alex but was surprised she landed Maddow's hour.

Alex needed a soft launch. Like a 2pm or something…build the audience and then primetime. Rachel built an audience on Air America and guest hosting before being given the prime slot.

No love for Andrew Ross Sorkin who regularly contributes to 'Morning Joe' ? Man, that guy makes me 'stand at attention' every time he's on TV. Sexy and smart with the bluest eyes.

[quote] Sexy and smart with the bluest eyes.

Andrew Ross Sorkin only has one blue eye. I am surprised you haven't noticed, I can't seem not to notice it.

I noticed the eye thing yesterday when he was on Morning Joe.

You KNOW Joe wanted to talk about it!

[quote] Alex needed a soft launch. Like a 2pm or something…build the audience and then primetime. Rachel built an audience on Air America and guest hosting before being given the prime slot.

Alex had a 4-year "soft launch" from 2011 to 2015, when she hosted "Now with Alex Wagner" on MSNBC in the afternoons. (She also co-anchored CBS's Saturday morning news show for a year or two.) She's not exactly an unknown quantity.

I think anyone who landed in Rachel Maddow's slot is going to struggle. Rachel is Rachel - and she brought a different show that few others could bring. Otherwise, the 9pm hour is just another talking head among already known and established quantities already there.

[quote] I think anyone who landed in Rachel Maddow's slot is going to struggle.

Especially when Rachel is still occupying that slot one night a week.

Indeed, R265!

R258 They did need to find someone with Maddow and TRMS team approval. I'm guessing that narrowed the list of viable candidates by a lot.

Ewww. It’s always a nasty surprise when you tune in expecting to see a favorite and familiar face… and there’s Jason Johnson.

I like Alex, I hope she stays in that slot.

[quote] Andrew Ross Sorkin only has one blue eye

Isn't it just the size of his pupils that's different;

I don't watch CNBC any longer, but when I do catch sight of clips on YoutTube, I'm amazed by the longevity of some of their anchors. Some must have been there for 25+ years by now.

the hard-ons some of you have for the most basic looking men...

Lawrence working a Friday????? holy shit wow

I have no idea how to link it but for the Glenn Kirschner fans, he posted a photo today on his Insta account, lifting weights at the gym and.....he did not disappoint!

If only James Kilpatrick and Shana Alexander had instagram accounts to show off their toned bods.

Which one is the lesbian in that pic r216?

[quote]Heilemann needs a show on MSNBC

But I love seeing the backdrop when he's broadcasting from his home. It's super high end design. Not the normal dorm room straight guy look or 90's house Frau kitchen.

r274 - Shana, you ignorant slut.

r272 - That's because he wasn't there last night.

I think there's a pic of when Glenn played college football decades ago

he's a handsome older guy

I wish there was video of the time Tiffany Cross did his makeup

[quote] It's super high end design

More like mid-range modern with a kitschy flair.

Jealous much R279? That stuff in Heilemann's house is not cheap. Is a 5,000 chair mid-range? Kitschy flair? Let me guess, you home is stuffed full of antiques and swag curtains. A modern day Liberace who thinks his style is "classy".

5000.00 is upper middle range, certainly not fine or investment quality.

No one said his furniture had to be "investment quality". High end design does not equate to investment. You are talking art pieces at that point. A chair that no one would be allowed to sit on because it's one of a kind. At that point you cant really call it furniture, more of a museum piece.

I'll take a basic looking guy who's smart, fun, and with whom I actually have chemistry over an Insta'ho or other high maintenance hottie any day.

I like Heilemann's collection of quirky brightly colored ceramic woodland creatures.

I'm sure his must be ultra high end limited edition pieces, but I liked them enough to search for more affordable versions. Sure enough several offerings available right in my price range. Will look great next to my knock-off Marcel Duchamp urinal.

Jealous much [R280]?

If you meant "Envious much?", yes definitely, really like Heilemann's decor. In his NYC apt/loft, but even more so in his home in L.A., which we rarely get to see, but has made a few appearances on Showtime's The Circus. He's got good taste and an interesting personal style for sure, just wouldn't peg it as super high end. Didn't mean to come off as critical.

[quote] I'm sure his must be ultra high end limited edition pieces

You're probably right, to the extent that Heilemann's collection likely includes some of Jonathan Adler's trendy ceramic and stoneware animals.

Yes, lots of expensive Jonathan Adler tchotchkes! Is Heilemann's wife the arty type? Is he married? I wouldn't have thought Adler would really be to his taste.

Watching Ayman tonight - dressed in a blue jacket and a white tee shirt underneath. Damn, this guy is hot. I think the full beard just makes him sexier.

so Thomas Roberts turned 50 and has located back to Baltimore....what else?

R288 He looks fine for his age, but if you told me he was celebrating a milestone birthday, I would just have assumed it was his 60th.

So is on local news in Baltimore?

he currently hosts Daily Mail Tv a gossip show lol

interestingly I don't think it's even listed on his IMDB (is he ashamed?) but if you look on tv he's always the host on that show

Thomas Roberts is still incredibly handsome and sexy. I can't believe MSNBC couldn't find a place for him on their schedule. Or CNN, or ABC. What is wrong with these network execs ?

R286

John Heilemann is married. His wife is not cute but they seem to mesh together. No kids, which is respectful since they live in Tribeca.

Heilemann has an odd yet hot quality.

r292, He's not remotely hot and he needs to stick to making mayonnaise.

anyone with insight into Thomas Roberts career decisions.....greatly appreciated

[quote] Thomas Roberts is still incredibly handsome and sexy. I can't believe MSNBC couldn't find a place for him on their schedule.

In Puritanical America posting nude pictures of yourself is a career killer in most fields but especially in the news business. It shows poor judgement.

That's too bad, r295...

I wonder if the likes of Joy Reid, Tiffany Cross, and Al Sharpton are secretly outraged that they have to spend their shows ragging on a successful brother like Herschel Walker.

I'd spend my time wondering about more important things if I was you, r297.

And yet nude selfies are not what brought Adam Kinzinger down - it was speaking the truth.

[quote] a successful brother like Herschel Walker

You must be referring to his COVID killing mist.

Did Thomas Roberts get divorced? His husband Patrick Abner seems to be out of the picture

R297 hi racist!

Sorta off-topic, but am annoyed with CNN and their highly promoted series on “The Murdochs”. The Murdochs own competitor Fox.

What is CNN’s motive?

[quote] What is CNN’s motive?

Exposing peddlers of disinformation.

[quote]In Puritanical America posting nude pictures of yourself is a career killer in most fields but especially in the news business. It shows poor judgement.

Thanks Joshua Johnson. Pot meet Kettle. Oh but you are black so you are forgiven if you are on MSNBC or NBC.

White gay guys on the other hand are held to a higher standard. That's why there can never be an openly gay hot white man on MSNBC, the "gay" part must always be rolled into another minority or be a lesbian.

I'm not getting your post, r305. Are you saying that Joshua Johnson (who is Black) also posted new pictures of himself on the internet? Wasn't he fired form MSNBC? Was it because of that?

R305 Steve Kornaki thinks you are an idiot.

Not surprised I have R305 on block.

[quote]I'm not getting your post, [R305]. Are you saying that Joshua Johnson (who is Black) also posted new pictures of himself on the internet?

There are pics out there, yes. They seem to have scrubbed them from the internet now. Thomas Roberts did not post any nude pics from what I know. Someone else did it calming it's him from behind but you cant even see his face. Jealous trick probably. But again no proof its him.

[quote]Steve Kornaki thinks you are an idiot.

Steve Kornaki is not a news anchor. Does he have his own show? Of course not.

He's the token white gay allowed to be on TV for his mastery of election results. Like the pet gay they all pretend to love.

Mark Hamill on MSNBC talking about his support for Ukrane and got to meet with hunky Zalinsky in person.

Luke Skywalker meets a real life kick ass leader who's not a little green baby Yoda. Finally something I can get behind.

R303 it's actually very interesting. It's not glorifying or praising the Murdoch family. It's telling how they rose up and all their dirt.

I didn't know for example that it was Reagan admin's fault we ever got a Murdoch-owned right wing network. There was previously a rule that you couldn't own a tv station and a newspaper. That would have stopped Murdoch in his tracks. Now sure maybe some other right wing asshole would have launched something like Fox but it would have taken longer since no one else was doing it at the time. Fuck Reagan forever

[quote]Thomas Roberts is still incredibly handsome and sexy. I can't believe MSNBC couldn't find a place for him on their schedule.

I think actually you need to have some better qualifications for getting a place on the schedule than being "incredibly handsome and sexy."

I assumed that John Heilemann was gay when I first started seeing him on TV.

After Rachel, who's the biggest star on MSNBC? Lawrence? Chris Hayes? Joy Reid? Joe Scarborough?

Kristen Welker is embarrassing as a sycophant journalist.

Welker is another Cuck Choad.

She was persistently bitchy to Democrats and was perfunctorily coddling to Republicans on MTP yesterday.

Jen Psaki needs to give her a quick kick to the cunt.

Welker & Peter Alexander are part of that DC access journalism. They miss the old days of WH reporting. They love the gotcha clickbait headlines. Just keep calling them out on all their bullshit.

Any ☕️ on the adorable and dewy-eyed Ben Collins?

Tim Miller was on The Circus last night. Is he replacing Alex Wagner?

Ben Collins is HOT!

[quote]I think actually you need to have some better qualifications for getting a place on the schedule than being "incredibly handsome and sexy."

Oh ? Like what ? I think handsome and sexy are 80% of the requirements. Reading off a teleprompter is the other 20%.

R319 yaas, dewy doe-eyed even.

[quote] Someone here mentioned that Ken is married to an Asian woman. We know what that means on the DL.

Sorry I am not in the loop on this. What does it mean?

That he's a closet case? That he has a small dick? Both?

[quote]Sorry I am not in the loop on this. What does it mean?

It means that in an hour he'll want to marry another one.

all msnbc hosts say “my friend.”

it’s highly irritating.

You're easily irritated, r326.

Rachel Maddow was a California Blonde!

[quote] all msnbc hosts say “my friend.”

hmmm, Nicolle never calls Michael Schmidt my friend. Curious that.

Welker is a wannabe white woman. Gurl, we all know that you're Indian.

R330 She's biracial. Her father's white, her mother is African-American from Philadelphia.

OK, she is biracial, but why is she such a cunt to liberals?

She seems to threaten Andrea Mitchell in some way. Without being there, her name was mentioned wrt a story she had done, Andrea was visibly stricken, whatever blood that was left drained from her face. She was stunned and had a hard time commenting.

Although I have seen them interact together and they both seemed perfectly fine.

[quote] why is she such a cunt to liberals?

She just wants to avoid death threats form the MAGAOTS.

disappointed with Rachel and Lawrence tonight. I am a big Rachel fan but it was annoying how she opened her show by shilling her new podcast and then annoying how Lawrence gave her the second block of his show to promote her podcast further. The subject is very interesting but her new attitude of not wanting to work much turns me off from wanting to listen. I'll just watch her MSNBC show.

I don't mind promoting what you're doing but it shouldn't be the top or second top story with all the important news going on and especially if you're just working 1 day a week (and special occasions like this Thursday)

Ok I don't really watch MSNBC all that much but tonight I happened to see Philip Rucker on that Stephanie woman's show (I'm not going to learn her last name until she fixes her hair). I was thinking he must have entered a monastery (he's certainly never in the Post anymore) - has he been back on a regular basis? And my real question: does he have braces on his teeth?

Wasn't Thomas Roberts's hosting donald's Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow the final nail in the younger man's career coffin?

R337 Notably just about the time that Putin was amping up his anti-gay agenda. No reason to let principles get in the way of a paying gig.

I was shocked to see Rachel on her show on a Monday. I expected her to be gone again. I have replaced her in my mind and no longer look forward to watching her. I feel so sad.

When was Rachel gone on a Monday?

She was not on Labor Day Monday.

She is not on when Monday is a holiday and one other time she was just gone. Personal/sick day? Either way, the anticipation is gone.

Rachel should just give up her slot and just do specials. It is totally unfair to Alex or any other replacement.

Another hottie was on 'Morning Joe' this morning - Marc Caputo. He always looks like he had a sexual encounter in the locker room with another guy.

She had a podcast to hock, she would have been there if it had been National Lesbian Day.

R341 - IIRC neither was anyone else from MSNBC's usual evening lineup.

[quote] Andrew Ross Sorkin only has one blue eye. I am surprised you haven't noticed,

I’m too busy paying attention to his “one brown eye,” making sure it’s fully tended to.

[quote] She is not on when Monday is a holiday

Guess she doesn't celebrate Columbus / Indigenous Peoples Day.

[quote] paying attention to his “one brown eye,”

brown and always dilated.

so today Rachel was on Nicole's show, she'll appear tonight with Alex and then she's hopping over to Andy Cohen

she can't work 4 nights anymore on her show but has time to shill her new podcast all day long. Got it

I love Rachel and her work but this recent behavior is such a turnoff

I love Rachel but this Rashill is a bit hard to take.

Didn't she win enough awards with Bagman?

Andy Cohen + Rachel Maddow!

Wait its Melissa Etheridge+Rachel Maddow+ Andy Cohen tonight….

I hate all of the ass kissing the hosts are doing for Rachel. They remind me of Miss Lindsey puckering up to Dump's fat ass.

Chris Hayes has been doing a podcast for quite a while now, hasn't he? Did they make such a brouhaha about his?

Like Jon Stewart did, I feel like she's leaving us in the lurch when we need her (midterms, 2024 - and how dire things could end up)

Rachel's fine...

Dasha Burns is scum.

A gotcha clickbait sensationalist. In the realm of Jake Tapper.

so Andy asked Rachel if she'd ever return to her fulltime MSNBC gig and she said "never". He pressed why and she said "I almost kill myself" meaning that doing the show for a full week takes so much out of her she had to stop. She later said when asked about Alex Wagner taking over her time slot Tues-Fri that part of her advice was "you have to kill yourself every show" for it to be good. So I guess Rachel got burnt out.

I don't know the process of making a podcast but maybe the fact that her topic is history and not something happening right now makes it easier for her mentally to fixate on? I mean obviously she did her current podcast because it directly correlates and parallels to what's happening now...

ugh I'll miss her but at least she'll be there on special occasions like this Thursday

[quote] doing the show for a full week takes so much out of her she had to stop.

trumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrumtrumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrumtrumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrumtrumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrumptrum

An hour a night, five nights a week, four weeks a month, twelve months a year. For five years. What's so hard about

Just a reminder of her stellar track record when stacked up against the competition.

It seems pretty condescending that nobody at MSNBC could rise to the Maddow level of perfection.

Well, smell her...

Dasha Burns is a Hack.

Dasha Burns fails to give a fawning interview with Fetterman

That arrogant bitch was constantly phoning it in.

Hey Andrea Mitchell, you read a fucking teleprompter everyday & we still don’t understand you, boo.

By relinquishing her "breaking news" pressures temporarily, Rachel is wisely protecting her mental and emotional health; it wasn't that long ago when we learned of her bouts of anxiety.

Keep well, Rachel.

r359 in the *BREAKING: Hunter Biden to Be Charged* thread:

[quote]If Hunter is ever actually charged with anything it will be a petty slap on the wrist matter so they can say justice was done and close the file. All without every addressing the bribery, influence peddling, and international graft that might endanger the "big guy"..

Yikes! The usually staid Adrienne Elrod was wearing a pair or three of those ridiculous Simone Sanders/Janice The Muppet eyelashes on this morning's "Morning Joe."

The look on Chris Matthew's face as he tried to avert his eyes from Eugene Daniel's garish manicure was priceless.

MSNBarnum & Bailey. The network is becoming quite the freak show.

Lawrence O’Donnell roasted that cunt Dasha Burns too 🔥

We really don't need her. All she usually does is condescendingly state the obvious.

Ben Collins is clean-shaven tonight on Chris Hayes. So pretty. 😍 He looks Middle Eastern, like a twinky Omar Sharif.

Gorgeous Senator Chris Murphy on with Chris Hayes tonight!

......crickets.......

Hi, DataLoungers! I'm just popping into this thread to let all of you know that I have a new podcast called "Ultra." The first two episodes are available now!

[quote] I'll miss her but at least she'll be there on special occasions like this Thursday

If hosting a one-hour show five nights a week was "killing" her, you would think that hosting breaking news or special events for several hours at a stretch would really "kill" her. Funny how covering big special events just doesn't seem to have the same effect on her.

Entre nous, r377, she's doing all of that just to annoy you.

r363, Burns did card tricks for blind people. She is evil.

I think she was having to do the nightly show AND do long hours during special events. Now, she'll have more energy when those occasions arise.

I'm coming around. I was the complainer about Jon Stewart and her. I guess when you rise to the top, your money and ambition situations are settled - why wear yourself out?

At least she didn't flame out with some scandal or drug problem, etc. We've still got her, and won't be as bitchy about her reading verbatim court transcripts for 20 minutes at a go.

I watched today's Committee hearing on CNN; the promise of two hours of Andrea Mitchell's rambling will do that.

Is it safe to tune in MSNBC now?

Nicolle is there, r381.

R382, is she cackling like a hyena?

Thanks, R382, I popped in and Yuckolle is holding joker court. See you at 6pm.

Gross Mary Katherine Ham protecting that DYKE Dasha Burns.

I really have grown to like Nicolle, so I am a bit torn to ask this:

Can someone photoshop her as a Skeksis please?

R261 Neither eye looks blue.

Alex Wagner liked to talk on that panel. Think she likes to hear herself talk?

But Maddow still acted like Queen around there.

Ashley Parker looks like a hot mess.

Those under eye bags, girl.

John Heilemann was on recount twitter podcast.

That dude stuttering and can’t annunciate his words this am.

And talking about Fetterman’s problems too 😛

[quote] That dude stuttering and can’t annunciate his words this am.

I'll bet he knows the difference between annunciate and enunciate, though.

While MSNBC frequently references LG and gives her the added coverage from anchors and reporters, she won’t appear on MSNBC and CNN. Her Senate colleagues that are Democrats won’t bother confronting her yapping. There is minimal coverage of her continuing to defy a subpoena to testify before a Georgia grand jury.

None of these MSNBC anchors are exceptional as they continue to help enable LadyG with her anti-democratic rhetoric and allegedly criminal behavior in trying to overturn the vote in the 2020 presidential election.

Jake Sherman was on with Nicolle last week 💩

He is a republican apologist & got called out for it.

Let’s bring back Jake Sherman 💩

He has been out of the spotlight for a bit, but have a feeling that ass-kisser is going to be on the prowl for some scoop!

I'm watching Nicolle and Claire M. has the most delicious looking pound cake behind her.

Was Claire a calculating politician?

I don't know, r396, but she has a pretty cake stand.

Claire knows how to stage her edibles, better than an Amsterdam window prostitute.

Nicolle Wallace Schmidt is joining Ms. Maddow night!

Rachel had a poignant closing to her show. A very quick pass off to Lawrence.

Stef just applauded Claire's lemon bundt cake.

Is Stef a DLer, r401?

Jesus, Matt Schlapp is a bloody stool.

Rachel was on Joy Reid's show tonight to shill the next episode of her podcast. Is she going to keep appearing on every MSNBC show every time a new episode drops?

Well, I'm sure she won't be on Morning Joe

I don't know why that bothers you, r404. The parallels are both fascinating and scary.

Could Rachel be "moving on up to the big league" (major management position)?

Something's up.🤔

R407

whaaaat?

Claire has abandoned her kitchen and Heilman is a vision in black and taupe.

Chuck Todd is there to be “dishy” and captivate the horny viewers.

Is Todd on Morning Joe?

Michael Cohen was absolutely ON FIRE with Nicolle and Neal Katyal tonight! Give him the 9 pm slot!!

I like Michael Cohen in spite of his Trumpian past.

I laughed to myself watching the end of Ari’s show tonight. It was him, Ayman, and some “New York jew” comic doing the “Fall Back Friday” segment. They all had that short beard thing going on, and dark hair and strikingly looked related to each other. Or more like one of those skits where there are two imposters trying to look like the third.

I’m sure there are quite a few DL’ers who are still fapping to the thought of a bukkake party on that set. I know I am!

Three Jews in a room bitching.

Watching Jonathan Capehart this Sunday morning and, sorry to say, he is still a disaster at interviews. Maybe he has hearing problem? He always seems to hesitate in responding to an interviewee's response.

Jen Psaki's *evening* make-up is so glamorous!

NBC Now - gay male anchor team this morning - Joe Fryer and Steven Romo.

My fave combo.

Love Romo. Don’t know about fryer. Anything interesting?

Ben Collins is on MSNBC often now. Smart, articulate reporter.

Joe Fryer is openly gay, R431. Joe and Steven had Ben Collins on this morning (could have been yesterday morning)...what a wicked thing to do to a gay guy trying to get ready for work.

I have had sufficient Steve "team trump cheerleader" Kornacki, second only to the loathsome Jake💩Sherman in hack journalism.

There! I said it.

Agree with your assessment. R434

Michael Fanone was on Nicolle's show today and called Kari Lake a piece of shit. Love him.

Fanone made an accurate description of that Lake thing, r436.

Steve Kornacki “talks up” Republican changes a bit too much for my preferences. I don’t see him as a Democrat. Maybe I am wrong, but I don’t think so, I have listened to his messaging for a long time.

Neatly tucked into those baggy khakis of his is a Log Cabinette tutu.
