MSNBC - Part 44

Heilemann is clearly the best Deadline Whitehouse sub. Best dressed as well.

43 has been deleted...NOT FOUND.

Ari is going toe to toe with a Trump lawyer, David Schoen.

Ari is best when he makes the far right look stupid.

Ari takes no shit from hired hand lawyers.

That bald guy filling in for Karen Wallace needs to be punched hard! I want to punch him all he does is talk in word salads while say nothing

But John Heilemann is soo fuckable.

Why do all the hot guys in politics marry ugly women?

That Reid woman thinks calling herself a "nerd" somehow elevates her stature when, in all actuality, she is an embarrassment.

Joy Reid Show must be taped, because Ali Velshi just broke into her broadcast with Breaking News, Trumps taxes released. Trump was never audited while President.

Why has Fox News not made Chuck "The Appeaser" Rosenberg an offer? I was done with him years ago when he assured us that our concerns were unwarranted because he knew Bill Barr to be an honorable man. Pshaw!

Here he is tonight wringing his hands in fear of repugnicant retaliation for our holding donald accountable. Chuck, they're going to show their asses no matter what the Democrats do: we are damned if we do, but doomed if we don't

I vote "Do." Post haste. Tick tock.

Can't wait to hear the Repugs whining when every dipshit subpoena they issue for documents or testimony is stonewalled. Obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. We all can play that game.

Chuck Rosenberg was on the suspect list for a while, now he is on the GONE list.

RETALIATION!!!!

COORDINATING OF LIES!!!

DETRIMENTAL TO THE DOJ!!!

Fuck him.

Rachel Maddow to lead coverage of Zellenskyy's Congressional address, tonight 7pm ET (per MSNBC screen sidebar)

^But will she mention her podcast?

Rachel Maddow probably thought she was done for the year.

But MSNBC is going to make her earn that $30 million.

Chris Murphy soo HOT.

LMAO @Steph Ruhle giving Chuck Rosenberg THE best stinkeye combined with Scooby-Doo Doo "uh, whuh...?"-look while Chuck Rosenberg did his patented tap dance around whether Trump-appointed IRS head inappropriately gave Trump a pass on legally mandated audits.

Hope they put that segment on the MSNBC vid clips.

When Chuck Rosenberg was whining and bitching about how awful it was for the DOJ that the committee was going to release interview transcripts, I just wanted one of the others to ask him why the DOJ hadn't already done their own interviews in the last two years. Jesus Christ. So far his precious DOJ looks completely incompetent.

Why did Stephanie end the show crying? I was on here reading the Chuck capitulations.

Ari quoting fucking Jay-Z to Andrew Weissmann. What a fucking embarrassment. The whole panel groaned.

I wonder if Ari had a moment on the road to Damascus with Black rapping Jesus?

John Heilemann is such a pompous ass! Who could find fault with President Biden's Christmas Speech this afternoon? Grinch Heilemann, that's who.

Do better in selecting holiday replacement hosts, MSNBC; it's bad enough that your regular anchors are alienating us.

On a happier note, it was good to see Phil Rucker at home with his Axel Rucker dog ornament taking center stage on their Christmas tree.

R16: Tearful Stephanie had just asked her resigning, longtime producer to "sign off" the show as her final on-the-job duty.

Really? My interpretation of Heilemann's review of the Biden Xmas speech was much more benevolent. It was like JH admitted he was trying to find something nasty to say about Joe, comparing the speech to others of its kind, but he couldn't and was quite complimentary.

Is my crush on JH too big to see through his flaws?

I thought John Heilemann was simply nonplussed that he had nothing in the Christmas Greeting to criticize.

His conclusion: It was just Joe being Joe.

If anything a neutral or slightly positive response.

Google Transcribe errors included.

Giving a brief a heartfelt nonpartisan non-political entirely non-political holidays feature in the has put out word that they're going to send the president to give a Christmas speech or a holiday speech want to soon as they're speaking euphemistically. What they really mean is a Victory lap. Joe Biden has had a lot of political accomplishments in the course of the last two years. He's had extraordinarily good midterm, even President Zelinsky here yesterday something that Joe Biden could easily brag about in a fulsome way, about keeping the Western Alliance together of helping, Ukraine against Russia, none of that in the speech. Here, there's a long tradition of presidents about to head off on the Christmas or the holiday break. Joe Biden are revved up Brock Obama who would do a press conference or a brief speech? Followed by a press conference, almost every holiday season. Before he headed off to Hawaii and other presidents in the past have done a similar kind of thing. When I expected a little bit from that traps today, of Joe Biden may be taking some questions to the Press Corps. But certainly having a speech that was Themes and filled with at least some oblique references, the politics and policy. None of that here with the about the exception of Biden's frequent traditional well-known paean trying to visit aspiration that they'll partisan bitterness and toxicity be leached out of our politics that when it returned to a more forgiving politics and more pragmatic politics, a politics that lives more at the center rather than on the polarized edges. Joe Biden did say that he hoped that I would happen over this holiday season. I think he knows well enough. Even as he says that it's very unlikely to happen or this holiday season, let alone maybe not anytime anytime soon in the foreseeable future. But that is a speech that almost node American no matter what their political persuasion is, will find it very much to criticize, although you never know on Fox News. That's what we got to see from Joe Biden here today in this holiday speech. How many minutes was that guys? In the control room, how many minutes did he talk? Nine minutes only nine minutes and that. And that is it after the mangos and having made the point that I would love to have a conversation and try to see if there was any other kind of a political agenda that was being pursued here. That that eludes me but I think really that was Joe Biden really just being Joe Biden. And try to speak to and is most kind of nostalgic and heartfelt to the spirit of the season.

Does Jamie Raskin have a goiter?

The fuck, R23?

Daniel Goldman's on "The Last Word," bearing an eery resemblance to his split-screen colleague Andrew Weissman.

R25 Copied R23, with the transcription errors corrected.

It is actually very complimentary of Biden.

And that was Joe Biden giving a brief, heartfelt, nonpartisan, non-political, entirely non-political, holiday speech. When the Whitehouse puts out a word that they're going to send the President out to give a Christmas speech or a holiday speech one assumes that they're speaking euphemistically. What they really mean is a victory lap. Joe Biden has had a lot of political accomplishments in the course of the last two years. He's had extraordinarily good midterm, even with President Zelensky here yesterday. Something that Joe Biden could easily brag about in a fulsome way, about keeping the Western Alliance together, of helping Ukraine against Russia. None of that in the speech here. There's a long tradition of presidents about to head off on the Christmas or the holiday break, Joe Biden er, Barack Obama who would do a press conference or a brief speech, followed by a press conference, almost every holiday season before he headed off to Hawaii. And other presidents in the past have done a similar kind of thing. One expected a little bit of that perhaps today from Joe Biden, maybe taking some questions from the Press Corps, but certainly having a speech that was both on holiday themes and filled with at least some oblique references to politics and policy. None of that here, with the exception of Biden's frequent traditional well-known paean to his trying, to his aspiration that the partisan bitterness and toxicity be leached out of our politics. When we return to a more forgiving politics and more pragmatic politics, a politics that lives more at the center rather than on the polarized edges. Joe Biden did say that he hoped that would happen over this holiday season. I think he knows well enough, even as he says that, it's very unlikely to happen over this holiday season, let alone and maybe not anytime soon in the foreseeable future. But that was a speech that almost no American no matter what their political persuasion is, will find very much to criticize, although you never know on Fox News. That's what we got to see from Joe Biden here today in this holiday speech. How many minutes was that, guys in the control room? How many minutes did he talk? Nine minutes, only nine minutes and that is it. And off the man goes. Having made the point, I would love to have a conversation and try to see if there was any other kind of a political agenda that was being pursued here, that eludes me, but I think that was Joe Biden really just being Joe Biden. And trying to speak to in his most kind of nostalgic, and heartfelt way to the spirit of the season.

I can see how Heilemann might come across as a pompous ass to some. He doesn't bother me. He does have a schtick, that if you can tolerate is often smart and funny.

But he clearly was not being critical of Biden's speech today.

Lawrence's description about the connection between Cassidy Hutchinson and Butterfield was really moving. You could tell he had a bit of trouble keeping it together.

R27, R28: Your condescension here is just short of Heilemann's.

My opinion at DL may be worth only $1.99, but even that paltry sum affords me value, no more or no less than yours.

R30 Sorry that you feel someone disagreeing with your comment is being condescending to you. Maybe if you could point specifically to what you found objectionable about Heilemann's response, it would become clearer to others.

Has anyone noticed new White House correspondent Ryan Nobles, who joined a few months ago (used to be with CNN) ? Damn, I want him naked in my bed on Christmas morning !!!

Joyce Vance looked rough last night on [italic]The Reid Out.[/italic]

Joyce is clearly not proficient with makeup and hair and her look can vary widely from day to day. But who cares? I love hearing her views on all of it.

I adore her too, R34, but she looked like she'd just gotten up from a nap.

Vance always looks like she bought her no-brand shampoo and make up from the dollar store. I can't believe she actually goes on television looking like that. Maybe they should just have her on audio and not video ?

R32 Ryan looks like a really sweet lay.

I like Joyce, and her sister in law Barb McQuade, but they both struggle a bit with their on-camera looks. Barb is often willing to come on Way Too Early, when it's obvious she is just barely awake. I feel for her, still it's almost painful to watch.

Am I the only one who thinks SBF is adorable?

[quote] Am I the only one who thinks SBF is adorable?

I think you are the only one who knows who the hell you are talking about.

I'm loving Ryan Nobles and his deep set dimples and flawless skin, but wondering what's become of Garrett Haake. Wasn't he the senior Washington correspondent? Maybe he's in vacation with Chris Hayes< Nicolle Wallace and Mike Schmidt this week, but what a week to miss.

I'd love to find Ryan Nobles lying naked with a stiffy under my Christmas tree this Sunday. Oh please let it happen !!!!

Dr. Vin Gupta is on a special edition of '11th Hour with Stephanie Rhule' tonight. Talking about the 'tripledemic'. Damn is he cute despite his over-done tweezed eye brows. I'd love for him to be my 'proctologist' because he definitely pings gay for me.

R43 He's an acquired taste. At the beginning of the pandemic, he was way ambitious and eager to impress, and to get maximum air time. He'd always show up in scrubs, or a white doctor coat, and would pose in front of a whiteboard with indecipherable scribblings. It was all sort of too much.

He seems to have relaxed, and is much easier to take. As of 2020 he was married to a woman with a 3 year old son.

Alex Wagner looks like she's lost weight since she started her anchor gig and her skin looks rather sallow. I worry about her.

Dr. Vin Gupta is married and a breeder ? Wow - that guy screams 'flaming queen' on television. I thought for sure he was gay - and probably a cross-dresser with his 'pretty looks'.

Yes, R32, I did notice him. And I would enjoy trimming the, er, tree with him.

Call me crazy, but he looks like a hot mishmash of NASA head and former FL Senator Bill Nelson, SD Senator John Thune, and CT Senator Richard Blumenthal.

I've always had a thing for long, lean angular faces/heads.

[quote]I think you are the only one who knows who the hell you are talking about.

Do you people only watch MSNBC for the cute reporters and pay no attention to what they're reporting on?

SBF = Sam Bankman-Fried. (No, he's not a commentator.)

Happy Birthday to Stephanie Rhule who turns 47 today !

Barbara McQuade got some sleep FINALLY!

What a trooper.

But did Barb manage to apply some lipstick before the cameras turned?

rolled.... not turned!

I hope Barb and Joyce got a week's vacation at a spa resort with full beauty makeover for Christmas from their families. Lord knows they each need it.

R48 Thanks for explaining. After the response to my query, R39, and following a whole month of daily news on SBF and FTX, I figured it wouldn't be worth bothering.

It's been kind of fun to watch the biggest crypto bulls do a 180 on regulation, and start squealing like little piglets only once they've lost money.

Maybe with all that time on house-arrest, SBF will take up Mom & Dad's Peleton. Definitely want to be leaner and meaner when heading to prison.

Barb McQuade is the real life Peppermint Patty.

WOW! MSNBC's NY correspondent Jesse Kirsch ! Yummy !

John Heilemann wasn’t wearing his wedding ring this week on DWH 👀

R56 Cute. But that picture makes him look like Pee Wee Herman.

I never watch Tucker Carlson but Friday evening I was so bored that I tuned. Am I the only one to notice that Tuckums has an insane asylum laugh? I wish someone would cut a bunch of his insane laughs together. This guy is out of his fucking mind.

John Heilemann’s wife looks butch.

R59 His voice gets all high and squeaky when he's excited or trying to be emphatic.

I think one of the more apt of Tucker memes is his host of Scooby Doo expressions.

Jesse Kirsch is much cuter than R56's photo shows.

The meme of Tuckums with that chubby guy of the 3 Stooges (Curly? Joe?) was much more apt.

Good Lord Hugo Lowell's is not a face I can cope with seeing first thing in the morning. I know he's with The Guardian and not MSNBC but he might as well be.

Nicolle Wallace is obsessed with 1/6 and the committee.

What’s she gonna do when its game over in Jan?

Nicolle Wallace is a true patriot. The report was released Friday, a 800+ page report with a 150+ page summary.

AND INDICES!

If she is obsessed, it is with the VOLUME OF CRIMINALITY.

Raf Sanchez !!!!

Such a sexy reporter who needs a nice hard cock in his mouth (mine).

Yes, Raf is cute. Gay?

[R68] I'll let you know for sure after I spend this weekend with him, welcoming in 2023. I wonder if he's a top or a bottom ? I'll be versatile for him. I bet he gives great Bjs.

Jonathan Lemire is so unlikeable.

I love the quality and the overall, fact-based & yet also speculatively looking forward content of Nicolle's show and her reputable guests but really she gets on my nerves with her constant use of , "I mean.." to start a sentence.

"I mean..."

"I mean..."

Girlfriend, one doesn't start a new spiel with "I mean" unless you are explaining something you've just said.

I refer to Nicole Wallace as "the Queen of 'I mean...'" and have heard her say it as many as 3 times in less than a minute!

Last night she was again on a really ferocious "I mean..." tear and I was glad to have had the repeated excuse to escape and run downstairs to check on dinner cooking away in the kitchen so as to repeatedly get away from it!

r70, Smirky has that begrudged look of someone who gives their all to be a number 4.

Nicolle has until Jan. 3 to talk about the Committee.

And then she switches to what DoJ is doing with Committee evidence.

Nicolle subbing for Alex tonight.

Since when is Nicolle Wallace a sub?

[quote] Since when is Nicolle Wallace a sub?

She used to sub for Brian Williams on 11th Hour fairly regularly.

NYT's contributor Susanne Craig has the ugliest kitchen from 1952 in all her Zoom interviews. It really needs an update.

YAMICHE!

Is Susanne the lesbian in the knotty-pine kitchen? If so, yes, r78!

[quote] NYT's contributor Susanne Craig has the ugliest kitchen from 1952 in all her Zoom interviews. It really needs an update.

Room Rater loves her knotty-pine kitchen.

Ryan Nobles is hosting the morning shows on MSNBC this morning - yum! He's so cute and fuckable.

Hoping Yamiche Alcindor will replace the ridiculous Reid woman in the new year. Just remember to breathe, Yamiche.

Out with the old, in with the new and professional.

Slow down, Yamiche; speak slowly and distinctly. Focus on content, not words-per-minute.

Breathe.

Yamiche should have a show, I love her

Yamiche needs to replace Andrea Mitchell.

Yamiche would be great hosting a round table discussion type show. I'm not sure she's anchor material.

[quote] Yamiche would be great hosting a round table discussion type show.

She's doing that now. She's been hosting "Washington Week" on PBS since Robert Costa left the show in 2021.

[quote]Yamiche would be great hosting a round table discussion

Isn't this what each of the MSNBC news hours are? Zoom to one group, zoom to another, and now, back to those in-studio.

More like Blocks A, B, C sprinkled with next group set up.

Yamiche is not comfortable with a teleprompter and clearly has all of her questions scripted for her.

She does have great presence, though.

She is one smart cookie if she can navigate Trump Racism.

LOVE HER

R90: The majority of all readers' delivery is scripted. Have you never realized the role of the index cards/pages on the news desks?

P.S. And there is always a producer in the reader's ear to provide answers and prompts as needed.

By "round table" I meant something more in the Morning Joe vein of news program. Something more conversational, with strong opinions, some bitchy humor, and live guests (no zooming).

I am in love with David Farenthold.

That is all.

[quote] By "round table" I meant something more in the Morning Joe vein of news program. Something more conversational, with strong opinions, some bitchy humor, and live guests (no zooming).

Again, Yamiche already hosts a weekly roundtable show (Washington Week on PBS), which is a high-profile gig and one that carries prestige. Granted, there is no bitchy humor on Washington Week. And she reports for NBC News. She probably reaches a larger audience in those roles than she would hosting an hour or two during the day on MSNBC. Not sure why she would give up either role, unless MSNBC offered her a prime-time slot.

I agree about David (the gorgeously handsome & sexy!) Farenthold and was thinking the same thing as you as I watched Farenthold on Deadline White House tonight where the Queen of "I mean.." was interviewing him.

Anyway, Dame Wintour, your comment is duly appreciated!

I'll take my news without humor, bitchy or otherwise, thank you very much. Very little of the deadly serious shit confronting us today warrants an entertaining delivery.

And I am in love with hottie Italian lawyer Renato Mariotti. What is it about him that just drives me wild?

^^^ Nor does it warrant the Ari Melber specialty that's the delivery of news and opinion mixed in with rap references...

p.s. Does Melber wear a wig?

Renato Marriotti makes me rock hard every time he's on camera.

Yes, Renato is a cutie. Any gossip?

I hate hearing Yamiche talk. She sounds like a fucking machine gun.

[quote] I hate hearing Yamiche talk. She sounds like a fucking machine gun.

A Ya-machine gun!

But they don't do roundtables as heavy as they used to Pre-Covid.

Everyone is working from home! Sure they also did remote interviews precovid, but one can only tolerate Zoom audio quality for so long....GET THE BOOM MIC!

[R104] I agree. I'm sure they're saving a lot of money by having guests do interviews remotely on ZOOM (no travel expenses for them to come to NYC and into the studio) but I'm done with the poor audio quality and watching the 'Brady Bunch' grid on my screen.

Can't believe I didn't notice Matt Bradley reporting from Ukraine and his gorgeous blue eyes before. Nice!

Meant to mention earlier that Gadi Schwartz was the anchor for the NBC Evening News last night.

Joy's hair (or wig) is perfection tonight. Don't change it, Joy!!

It was such a short pixie, perfectly framing her face. Was the hair from Chick Todd's ass. It looked so fine.

RACHEL!!!!!!!!!

Rachel's guest Brendon Buck - yum!!!!!!!

Symone acting like a crazy lady on twitter tonight.

Damn - am I the only one who gets hard whenever former Republican David Jolly is on MSNBC ? Loved hiwm with his beard, love him more without it. Bet you he's wild in bed.

Silver fox David Jolly

You're not the only one, r113.

Tres Jolly!

Jolly laid?

Tara Setmayer! It takes balls to put a prettier black woman on your show, Miss Joy!

Susanne Craig is clearly renting. Nobody would spend their own money on that Altima Place apartment stove.

R117: I was shocked and saddened to see full body footage of the beautiful Miss Tara recently; she is morbidly obese.

Stephanie is about to talk to that gun toting bimbo Lauren Boebert!

Stephanie was 🔥🔥🔥Boebert needed 🧯🧯🧯🚒🚒🚒 to put out her torched ass.

When Stephanie is good she is magnificent.

Stephanie's hair is LAIDT tonight!

Stephanie is usually an impressive interviewer and master of the follow-up question, but I thought her interview with Boebert was weak.

She let Boebert drone on too long and didn't drill down into the specifics of what this Taliban 20 want.

Granted, interviewing Lauren Boebert is like interviewing a plastic bag in the wind, but Stephanie seemed a bit out of her depth tonight. Not a look I'm used to seeing from her.

Let Joy Reid take a crack at Lauren BooBoo the Fool. I know a lot of you self-hating gay racist bitches don’t like Joy but we all know that she would drag the fuck out of Lauren.

Hell, yes, R124, and I would be here for it.

Lauren Boebart on with Stephanie Rhule….interesting 🧐

r123, couldn't disagree more. Watching it on the West Coast replay, and Bobert uses a lot of words to say nothing.

Rhule gave her enough rope to hang Boebert. It was beautiful.

Brian Williams is trending on Twitter, because the Twitter consensus seems to be that Ruhle was too soft on Boebert and they want the former 11th Hour host brought back.

She didn't go for blood, but remember, NO Republican has been on MSNBC in ages.

The idiot might be back.

She was on 'Hannity' at 9 pm - and he (credibly) was putting her in her place. He's pro-Kevin, and wanted to know what the 20 thought they could achieve by blocking the vote. Bo-Bo pulled a Palin and filibustered (which he kept asking her not to do - and just answer the question) but she wouldn't. He grew frustrated with her and finally ended his waste of ten minutes.

Or, better yet, have that Reid woman interview Byron "the prop" Donalds. That would be interesting and even I would tune in.

Andrea Mitchell just sounded like she was coughing up a hairball live on air.

I heard that, too, R132. Gross!

Truth be told , she is looking more like an aged alley cat every day.

Poor Andrea. That was rough.

Garrett has been particularly smarmy and a bit off-putting throughout the speaker coverage. I usually like his reporting.

Joy Ann Reid looks more like a polished professional tonight. Now, get rid of the bright white Chiclet press-on nails.

I didn't notice her makeup as I switched to my CNN 7pm viewing.

Former NY Congressman MAX ROSE is a guest on Chris Hayes' show tonight. The guy is hot ! Any tea spilt on him ?

[quote]but remember, NO Republican has been on MSNBC in ages.

Hahaha. I can’t stop cackling!!

Lol, R132/R133.

As a cat person who's seen/heard/cleaned up behind hairball hacking/vomit, I concur.

Brendan Buck, former press secretary to John Boehner and counselor to Paul Ryan, just called the Gang of 20 "performative loons" on Alex Wagner's show.

Brendan Buck is VERY cute. I saw him on CNN once and ran to social media to follow. Crushed to discover he's a Rethug.

Brendan seems excited being on TV

I saw Max Rose last night on All In, too. Looks like the type of guy you can have fun with in the steam room after a workout at your gym. Good catch !

Chris Jansing (nicely) to Andrea Mitchell this afternoon during the 1:00 handoff: "Andrea, stay on your lawn."

And Andrea responded, "Don't tell me where to pee. I've been here long enough to have a choice of lawns to pee on."

Crying as Biden presents Presidential Medals, to Fanone, Lady Ruby, her daughter Shaye Moss, the family members of stricken officers and all the other Jan. 6 heroes and sheroes.

That was a heart-wrenching ceremony for me, too, R145. President Biden could barely conceal his anger over the events of that day and those responsible.

I hope Garland and Smith were watching it on split-screen with the Speaker fiasco.

I bet you FOX News didn't cover this today, and the bouncing chuckleheads won't review it tonight on any of their broadcasts. Nor will they review the SotH fiasco for more than five minutes, or the great economic news which came out of the Department of Labor for December.

But they will devote their whole show to 'Terror at the Borders!' like they've been doing for the past few months as well as 'Hunter's Laptop'.

Confused by Nicolle’s hair today.

According to Nicolle Wallace, only one republican attended the gathering on the Capitol stairs this morning, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania.

Incredible!

Yeah, what IS going on with her hair?

NY Times Jan. 6 reporter Luke Broadwater looks SO HOT with Nicolle today. But some days I notice he looks less hot. Wonder if it's a zoom lighting thing? I wish she'd get him into her studio for a better look. I think her hair looks cute today btw.

Rep Eric Swalwell is on 'Alex Wagner' tonight, looking hotter than hell with his facial scruff. I'd love to swallow Swalwell.

i ❤️ Nicolle Wallace Schmidt!

"I mean...."...

Can someone get rid of Katie Phang from the line-up ? I never saw anyone with as much undeserved self-importance as this woman.

Katie is NO Connie Chung ! She's not even Julie Chen for that matter.

Katie Phang is a treasure.

She is smart while not inscrutable.

Her self-importance is well deserved.

I like Katie Phang.

Katie Phang > Symone

Guess what? I love Symone. I think she always brings a fresh point of view to her appearances, whether on her own show or guesting on others.

I'm now in love with Cristobal Alex - political analyst who's on Ayman's show tonight. He worked for Biden's campaign. Cute guy with sexy voice.

There was Luke Broadwater zooming in with Steph tonight and destroying my sexual fantasies about him. He really seems to morph with each appearance.

Broadwater seldom gets me excited in terms of his looks or his presence but he does have the ability to occasionally come across somewhat appealingly.

I think that variance is due to the lighting and also his proximity to the screen in front of him.

Stephanie Ruhle had Guga Chacra , the Brazilian journalist, on her show tonight. What a cutie he is.

Nicole needs to practice her enunciation.

alex wagner is an embarassment.....geezz

We adore garret haake ! (sp?)

nicole wallace married the guy from the ny times who squints ??

R167: If you mean Mike Schmidt, then yes.

Alex is a bit long in the tooth i must say.

nice to see an elder person working.

JOe and Mika.....nice enuf....thoughts? better than goddam fox hosts

POWERFUL ENUF TO ELIMINATE SKUNK ODOR.

I think the Poopf (sp?) guy is hot!

lol

It's Pooph.

Joe Scarborough is a guilty pleasure fantasy.

Why does Mika wear shawls all the time?

Do you think that they get tired of being around each other practically 24/7?

I'm tired of Mika dressing in a black turtleneck every morning with a 'vibrant' color shawl around one shoulder and draping around her other arm. First she was wearing hot pink, now it's that electric blue.

their in their lil rich couple bubble, seem happy, but together all the time? dont blame joe for goin to his uh....music gigs.

Jake Sherman 💩

Is everyone current with their anti-troll medication? Looks like we're experiencing a mild infestation.

I'm sure Karin Jean Pierre is a lovely person and know her to be a smart pundit but, at this point in his term, President Biden needs a "wartime" Press Secretary to communicate with the media.

No Presidential Press Secretary will ever compare to Jen Psaki. MSNBC should give her her own hour.

Fuck! Aides now reporting a second batch of classified documents was discovered at yet another Biden location and turned over to the Archives.

We need a Rachel Monday tonight.

No matter how you try to dress yourself up or attempt a personality by chuckling yourself up, Jake Sherman, you're still a 💩.

As much as I no longer like her on 'The View', I have always thought Sunny Hostin would make a great press secretary for Biden. She's camera-friendly, and knows how to hold a press conference and control the room (all her experience in the legal field / court room comes in handy).

R182, she was supposed to be in works. But si far they've inky brought her own as an analyst. What gives?

ALEX WITT is a hoot, she stumbles over words and lord them crazy eyes.

[quote]she stumbles over words

And that's a bad thing?

hell no, its fun as fuk to watch her plow onward....power to the elderly !

And yesterday Andrew Weismann graced us on air once again with his horrible vocal fry...

R186 - I'm not 182, but I have read up on JP at MSNBC. Seems they are still 'developing' a news show format for her, and it should be ready for the Spring. No word on when or what time slot. Until then, she will keep making 'appearances' on different shows - get the audience familiar with her.

Andrea Mitchell and Garrett Haake simply do not "set horses," do they? She just questioned his use of the phrase pro-life, and he snapped right back in defense saying he was quoting Nancy Mace. Nerves are on edge at noontime, and not for the first time.

MeeeOw!

Andrea really stumbles a lot in that noon hour (EST) broadcast.

If catching a noon tv news feed, we generally alternate between her program and Jon King's much more incisive news show on CNN. The differences between the hosts of the 2 shows are glaringly obvious.

Too bad Barbara Wawa is no longer around to tell Mitchell to her face, 'You are a drunk!'

Can’t imagine Nicolle & Mike having sex.

^^^ I hate thinking about it...

Schmidt comes across as an odd duck but I think that quirky persona situation is likely rooted in his being somewhere on the spectrum.

Joy Reid's new look is very attractive--age appropriate and polished. So glad that finally she is taking our advice. Now please ditch the tacky, bright white chiclet press-on nails.

love that garrett haake, a cutie pie. bet his cock is thick.

On his show tonight, Chris adapted the famous Ginsberg Howl quote, "I saw the best minds of my generation..."

Harry Litman acknowledged it, but seemed to think he was quoting William Butler Yeats.

Chris's rephrasing, "I've seen the best minds of my generation destroyed by Fox News."

Has the persistent Jake Sherman scat troll revealed its alternate DL identity?

R179 == R184

R200

Jake Sherman has many trolls.

He is just that unlikeable 💩

Nah, more like one troubled individual.

[quote] I'm tired of Mika dressing in a black turtleneck every morning with a 'vibrant' color shawl

She has really been working that look for the past few weeks. Initially she seemed to be applying a little more finesse to it. I was seriously getting Kim Novak & Dusty Springfield vibes from her on some mornings.

R202

Nope, multiples.

Mika is shawl-less (and Joe-less) this morning.

be nice, they read this site religiously.

[quote]Joy Reid's new look is very attractive--age appropriate and polished. So glad that finally she is taking our advice.

This look won’t last more than a week. She’ll be cruising the dollar store wig bin on Saturday for next week’s piece.

Is the Alex lady with loong blonde wig have a permanent show? i thought she was merely the fill in when a host was to hung over.

Alex Witt has a regular few hours on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Before it became universally used by all the hosts, Alex was one of the first to refer to most on-air guests as "my friend".

I can't stand the hosts now thanking viewers 'for their time' . So phony !

It's hard to believe that Chris Jansing is 4 years older than Alex Witt (65 vs. 61) but looks at least 10 years younger.

Chris Jansing's show just expanded to 2 hours. Hallie Jackson coming off MSNBC and her slot at NBC News Now is expanding to 2 hours.

OOPS, not quite yet, but the changes are coming in February.

Hallie J is leaving MSNBC ?

Sounds like she is going to be shifting her focus more to the mothership at NBC News.

Alex Witt has been on MSNBC since the day the network premiered.

What’s happening with Katy Tur? Is she moving to 3pm?

Yes, R218.

What’s Jonathan Capehart’s Saturday Show going to be called?

Capehart's show will be titled "BBC" . His gay fan base suggested the title (unanimously).

Working on Hallie Jackson's production crew would be stressful. She would just have no time for me, "Ya know, he seems like a nice enough guy, he just can't keep up. I think he'd be happier elsewhere."

If you're a fan or a hater of Nicolle's grinning & guffawing, you may(not) enjoy this episode of Hiking with Kevin. It was posted 2 days ago, but looks like it was recorded last Spring - on a Manhattan area trail rather than his usual L.A. canyon locations.

Half the time she looks like she has lockjaw, We also learn she's comfortable peeing in the woods.

time has been horribly unkind to ms witt.

did symone lose some lbs?

Anyone remember Eli Stokols formerly of the LA Times and a once regular contributor as part of Nicolle's in-studio guest list?

I saw him on CNN this a.m. and it wasn't pretty as his looks are continuing to deteriorate.

Stokols has bottom teeth that were always a problematic mess and now his lower face has widened more than it already had when I last saw him well over a year ago.

As seen at the link below from 2018, he used to be what I'd call a hot daddy!

His wife had a baby last year, r226. I think that’s when it started.

He looks like a suburban dad desperate for a blowjob.

[quote] He looks like a suburban dad desperate for a blowjob.

I volunteer. Desperate daddies are my thang.

Sorry to hear that about Eli. I used to pine for him, too, at MSNBC.

226 here...

Take a gander at his University of California athletic profile page where he looked kind of dorky in a cute way in the pic there and was listed as 6'3" & 200 lbs! With him normally seated on cam, I never realized how big he was!

But I'm glad to see that I was not the only one who appreciated Eli.

R145, the Dems are milking the attempted coup for all its worth. They use these events to fundraise. . These events annoy the Rethugs but enough already.

[quote]Dems are milking the attempted coup for all its worth.

I wonder why? Another Fascist regime gets voted in?

R229 Another who has seemed to have lost some of his pre-Congressional hotness is Dan Goldman. Although less specifically so, I'm hoping he can rebound.

Hot Congressmen who settled on safe, basic, loveless marriages that suck the life out of them.

Prime Example: Senator Chris Murphy.

No, R200, I am not the "persistent Jake Sherman scat troll" (if one indeed exists), but simply agreeing with the DL consensus that Sherman would be a welcome addition to the fox din.

R235 That's reassuring. You however seem to be the only ones on the long series of MSNBC threads who share a fondness for the poop emoji.

I guess Nicolle's hair and makeup peeps have Martin Luther King Day off.

Nicolle Wallace traded her obsession of the 1/6 committee & Liz Cheney for George Santos.

I'm George Santos...

...I'm George Santos...

...I'm George Santos...

Santos only fills a part of a Republican fascist block.

She is focusing on Russia being a terrorist state in this block.

Rachel!!!

Rachel on a HOLIDAY MONDAY!

I wonder if Rashida had to take off her earrings.

I dub nasty olde thing R236 the DL "Turd Tabulating & Tasting Troll," and relegate it henceforth to the Ignore Hut.

Begone and befoul in peace, R-236; bon appetit.

Rachel's hair looked differently styled.

[quote] Mika is shawl-less (and Joe-less) this morning

Are those two still together in real life? I'll never forget the time he got annoyed with her and said, "Mika, you don't have to blurt out every thought that comes into your head." Good times.

i saw Joe on air this a.m.

You must have sen a block or 2 of discussions in which he was absent.

[quote] I guess Nicolle's hair and makeup peeps have Martin Luther King Day off.

You can usually tell from her "Whitehouse" backdrop the days that she's working from home, definitely not in her usual studio, in which case I think she fends for herself as stylist.

.

R246 - I posted that @ R205 on Friday.

Hmmm.. Got it.. I was reacting to a quote of your post and the quote came much later than your original one.

On a related topic, morning Joe really misses a beat or 2 or 3 when Joe is absent for the entire program. He really is vital to and at the heart of the success of the show.

Why don't we talk about Willie and his masculine jaw here more often?

Oh please r249, the show is so much better when you don’t have Joe and his humongous ego interrupting everyone all the time.

Masculine jaw and soft voice - Willie's fun. Does he have a show to himself like the louder mouthed one got, who used to (maybe still is) on Nicolle's show? I've gotten so lax in watching when in the height of Trumpdoom I was watching all of them every day.

Just looked it up: John Heilemann is who I was trying to think of. I'm not sure I'm a fan of his presentation style - too manic.

Did John Heilemann’s podcast & The Circus get cancelled?

Is Matthew Dowd in our tribe?

Why can’t Nicolle’s husband wear a jacket instead of a zip-up hoodie on her show?

Literally can’t picture these 2 together…Nikki is definitely the dominant one.

Does anyone else find it odd that Nicolle never introduces Mike as her husband, esp. as she's hawking his book?

And, r256, Mike actually wore a jacket and tie the other day. I guess it was on Monday. Also, that's not a hoodie, there's no hood.

Heilemann announced he's taking a hiatus from his podcast, Hell & High Water, to be back "after the holidays", reruns in the interim.

Don't know about the Circus - I thought they geared their seasons up to be in advance of elections. I'm sure they'll return once the 2024 campaigns begin in earnest.

As far as I know, Nicolle has never declared their marriage on DLWH. I would think the network would require it, in order to be transparent about any possible conflict of interest. Plus it's nothing to be secretive about.

R258

Where/When did Heilemann announce the hiatus?

R260 The lead into his podcast, he goes into a bit of detail on how he really needs a break.

I heard it at the beginning of the episode with Kara Swisher as guest, released on 12/27.

I've written here before that Mike Schmidt's onscreen persona is so odd to my sown sensibilities that I suspect that he may be somewhere on the "spectrum." His wardrobe choice, almost silly in how it reminds me of a required school uniform, is a part of that oddness factor.

And, as has already been said here, I cannot picture him together with Nicolle!

Speaking of Schmidt, what was up with his hair yesterday? The part was out of it's normal place and the texture of the hair was somehow different; i.e. more course.

You sound utterly obsessed with Mike Schmidt, r262. Better have that checked out with your therapist soon.

^^^ Not so much obsesses with but rather in seeing Schmidt on air 3 or 4 times per week, his oddness is hard to overlook.

Schmidt stands out single-handedly among the range of guests seen on MSNBC as perhaps the most awkward and stunted in his manner and delivery of speech.

FYI: Don't bother providing me with your therapist as a favor though, as they've obviously not done you any favors.

I don’t know, I think he’s kind of cute but was shocked when I read about him and Nicolle.

R259, I, too, am surprised that they are not required to disclose the fact that they are married whenever he appears on her show, at least when he’s on to promote a book he’s written given that she as his spouse also benefits from its success.

I don't find Mike particularly odd. He may not be as polished as a lot of their contributors but he is a great reporter, constantly breaking news for the NY Times where he writes. I guess he's a better investigative reporter/writer than on camera speaker. But I think he just looks like an ordinary (somewhat) handsome straight guy. And I know thousands of them who wear those zipped sweaters...no big deal if he doesn't wear a tie and jacket on air. What difference does it make?

All that said, it is peculiar that Nicolle doesn't disclose he's her husband in her introduction.

I like Mike. He seems uncomplicated. I think he definitely worked on the school newspaper, and took it very seriously. To his credit.

[quote]All that said, it is peculiar that Nicolle doesn't disclose he's her husband in her introduction.

I don't know why, r266. I think it's pretty clear they want to keep their on-camera careers separate. I don't think they have an interest in being Joe and Mika or Tex and Jinx.

Maybe they announced it after the wedding? Having to announce it every time he appears on the show seems excessive. I think anyone that watches the show knows they are married by now.

How cute ! Chris Hayes sneezed while talking about MTG tonight. He has a cute sneeze.

That's nothing to sneeze at, Chris.

Tim Miller is a guest on Chris Hayes. He's wearing a double strand of pearls tonight against a black tee. Somehow, the guy gets away with it and comes off as sexy.

[quote]Chris Hayes sneezed while talking about MTG tonight.

It's probably Covid.

Yup Michael Schmidt w/ a Tie and a Zip-Up is back!

He always looks like he's cold, r274.

r272, Tim Miller is not sexy. There’s always an unbathed look to him.

Agreed, r276.

So young...

Tim is not unattractive, but as has been mentioned here before, if you think Steve Kornacki has twiggy forearms, Tim's are Biafran waif-like.

Kornacki's chinos are so baggy in the crotch, he looks FTM.

His crotch isn't baggy, r280, it's pouchy.

pouchy yes, but unfortunately not owing to his pouch it appears.

Desiderio on Way Too Early has lovely lips that I could picture around my cock.

Dimpled chin.

Sweet.

A nice aspect of Morning Joe is the camerawork povides views of panelists in profile, from the back, even the tops of their heads. A bit of visual interest.

While Eli and Daniel may be aging out, Danny Cevallos is still looking quite fine, from all angles.

Give me an hour or so with Danny Cevallos. Please and thank you.

Mika vs Stephanie?

Any beef there?

I'd love to see the many angles of Renato Mariotti on Morning Joe.

Speaking of Danny Cevallos, I saw him on air yesterday for the first time in ages.

And for that, I was "glad", to put it mildly.

MSNBC/ NBC scooping up all the CNN-ers fleeing the new management.

Nicolle just can't help herself - laughing in the face of every news story affecting the well-being of this country.

Michael Steele and Ally Vitale are not laughing "with" you, but "at" you, Nicolle, a clueless, privileged white woman who has nothing to lose regardless of how the political winds blow. You disgust me.

Mike Schmidt settled in his choice of a life partner and deserves better.

Oh pish, r290, she laughs out of disbelief. It may annoy you, but for it to disgust you is...what's the word...odd.

Ali Vitali (correcting my error at R-290, above).

I cannot wait to read your reaction to Nicolle's "disbelief" when reporting the discovery of the DeSantis camp sites, R291. But you just keep your head buried and you will be fine.

What's the bird? Ostrich?

Now you're choosing to double down on the odd, r292.

Nicolle Wallace was not so nice to Laura Jarett today w/ the SC report. Laura left from CNN to NBC to take over for Pete Williams & is Valerie Jarett’s daughter.

She is very pretty & Nikki probably felt threatened.

I thought Nicolle was adequately cordial towards Jarett, even a little solicitous considering all the other guests' positions disputed her analysis of SCOTUS's motives and reactions to the report.

Jarett is very poised and pretty, with lustrous hair. A child of privilege.

I love when white people (I can smell you r296) call black legacy kids that they are children of privilege.

Glad you love it because she is. And both her parents are multiracial.

Sarcasm is such a tricky color, r298.

.

r297

Besides I don't smell, just ask my Senegalese husband.

Mika is back in black and working a shawl.

Unintentionally funny line this morning: Mika saying, "Joe, I cut you off. Sorry."

The past few weeks of Morning Joe have been boring - so boring, I've been changing the channel to Don Lemon & Friends. If they have nothing new on Trump, Mika & Joe fail miserably. I'm not interested in Biden's docs, I'm not interested in Alec Baldwin, I'm not interested in much they're covering the past two weeks. I can't believe they devoted a whole five minutes to 'Roger the Parrot' the other day.

Andrea—Spell it the FUCK out !!!

[quote]And both her parents are multiracial.

Nope. That bitch is completely black.

Nicolle just admitted she is married to Mike Schmidt on air!

She said it!

Nicolle to Mike "...in the interest of disclosure we're married and read it at the same time"

NOW a warning?!?!

Which of you bitches is the MSNBC intern who reads here?

Did Nicolle and Mike send love and congratulations to Meghan McCain and her husband Ben while on the air ?

Nicolle has the chief investigator for the J6 Committee on today.

Blockbuster narrative weaving of Trump, his inner circle and evidence of criminality. Highlighting what the DoJ has and the extra tools the DoJ has.

Trump is fucked. Hinted at all of the evidence of criminality conduct by Trump's "Republicans in Congress" as well. Delish.

Oh I so hope Trump is fucked when it comes to 2024. But... the devil you know or the devil you don't?

God this country is in deep do do.

What do you call that coif? Finger-tousled tendril tresses?

The J6 Committee chief investigator Mr. Heaphy was quite delish, too! Daddy!

Melissa Murray subbing for Ari today. Has she ever hosted before? She’s doing a good job.

r313, I am content driven, but that too!

.

r310

r314, is she a'rappin the legals, like a queen regal, Not only heard in the seat of the weird, but SEEN?

Go Mistress Melissa Murray, go 3M!

LOVE seeing Melissa Murray at the anchor desk! More, please.

Melissa much better than Katie Phang.

DoJ to Jim Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee: "Longstanding DoJ policy prevents us from confirming or denying the existence of pending investigations in response to congressional requests or providing NON PUBLIC information about our investigations."

r319, hopefully that means “Shitty Pants Gym Jordan, you in danger gurl.” 😂

R320 He'll probably get more whiney and irrational. How does someone who himself has defied a congressional subpoena, think his chest-thumping demands will get others to comply?

When is George Clooney's documentary/expose about Gym Jordan and his college locker room shenanigans going to be aired?

nicolle laughing at every story is very weird, but so is her choice of hubby, mr schmidt seems more uncomfy than a repug at mar a lago.

^^^ As I've noticed and also said here...

"Odd duck" =Michael Schmidt.

(I did see him show his teeth in a smile of sorts as he was introduced at the start of Nicole's show yesterday. I had to grip at that moment!)

"I mean..."

Why would a repug be uncomfy at mar a lago, r323?

was being oxymoronic.

[quote]Melissa much better than Katie Phang.

Melissa > Symone.

[quote] Melissa > Symone.

Everyone > Symone

(unless, of course, we're talking about weight)

Melissa Harris-Perry is back??

[quote] George Clooney's documentary/expose about Gym Jordan

The series has been picked up by HBO but I can't find a projected release date.

Should be juicy.

[quote]Should be juicy.

It better be, r331, or why bother?

Broadwater's bio said he was a college wrestler and used to coach wrestling. Yum!

HBO is probably waiting till he drops his chimp pants and throws feces at witnesses appearing before House Judiciary.

Timing is everything.

I hope international lawyer, Amal Clooney, narrates.

Was Nicole flirting with Heaphy? I caught the tremulous smile and could hear the palpitations.

R335 His eyes, that silver hair against his bronzed skin. Only feet away. Don't know how she held it together.

R334 I was thinking when he's up for re-election, and announces his bid to be re-elected (probably some time this year). I think he's up in 2024 ?

R337 All House members are up in 2024, and every even-numbered year thereafter, if they decide to run.

Joy Reid is liking tweets of a guy saying we should start calling all white people colonizers.

Interesting 🧐 that she keeps her job and Tiffany got fired.

MSNBC protecting the Primetime Weekday talent.

Nicolle and Daddy

nicole's hubby is one funny feller. omg the eyes....joy reid is hella fun.....alex wagner ....why??

Will Nicolle have her hubby on again to help him promote his book?

Nicolle has on the delicious Brandon Van Grack. MSNBC should seriously be looking into giving him his own show. He definitely gives off gay vibes. So damn sexy.

I am SO over Frank Figliuzzi running interference for the government. No matter Dem or Rep he has a justification for the corruption coming from the government.

I wanna be tied up in Brandon Van Grack's attic!

This Friday is National Big Wig Day/Wear Your Wig To Work Day. Even though Rachel is only on Monday, here's a flashback from 2010 where her then senior producer, Tina Cone observed.

Will Joy be wearing a different wig for each segment on Friday?

I'll get shit for this, but when I hear Claire McCaskill speaking without listening to what she's saying, I get intonations of Jennifer Coolidge. Nowhere near as halting or breathy, but a lot of the same inflections and pitch for emphasis.

Rachel is back, but the first five mins she is phoning it in, calling news that is not breaking, BREAKING.

Then she shifted to promoting her podcast, Schmultra.

Then to Sedition convictions, and then to Oleg Derepasca and his purchase of high level FBI agents.

Her show, once again, is boring tonight. She's lost her MoJo - especially when there's no new Trump shit to report.

She's going to report on Santos's shenanigans after the Deripaska segment

But Rachel’s makeup looks FLAWLESS tonight.

donald mugged George Santos on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 55th Street and stole his shoes.

Can't say donald didn't warn us.

Yeah, Rachel's just regurgitating all the news we've heard all day. Doesn't she usually prepare a lengthy lecture on something interesting we don't know much about?

R352 She wears false eyelashes and Chap Stick. Hard to mess that up.

Lawrence and Sheldon...

R354 True, she doesn't bring much value add. I wonder if it's a strategy.

I find Sheldon Whitehouse incredibly hot!

R354, her staff probably has given notice.

I think Miss Lindsey has a secret crush on Sheldon, despite his relentless search for the truth about Kavanaugh. He was probably all aflutter at the chance to spend some alone time on their trip together.

I must be watching a different Frank Figliuzzi than an earlier poster who wrote that he "..runs interference for the government..."

I'm calling b.s. on that totally out-of-reality earlier claim!

I...can't...get tickets...to Taylor Swift...

Andrea Joy Campbell

MSNBC is so serious

MSNBC columnist and New York University professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat opined that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was “so dangerous in every way” and “authoritarian” after he recommended that students be prevented from using their phones during class at a press conference.

“Why are these kids on their phones during class all the time?” asked DeSantis, before suggesting that schools have students “leave their phone in some cubby or something, go sit in class and learn” before returning the phones at recess.

“They should not be on their phones being distracted from the lessons,” he concluded.

Ben-Ghiat said this was further evidence of his “authoritarian personality,” prompting mockery from a number of conservatives, including DeSantis’s deputy press secretary Jeremy Redfern, who said he hoped she could “find peace during this difficult time.”

Ruth Ben-Ghiat really wants students to have their phones so that they can continue to be groomed by the cabal of online gay predators, storytelling drag queens, cos-play Disney characters, asylum-seeking Venezuelans, CRT advocates, ex-felons attempting to vote, and the woke demi-monde who want children to feel uncomfortable about their white heritage.

joy is the only fun freakazoid on dat channel, tho mika is amusing.

Alex Wagner loves to hear herself talk. Needs to shut up so guests can answer the fucking questions.

Jonathan Lemire and that access journalist smirk this morning.

Lemire has the best sideways/crooked smile/smirk going at times that I can think of.

I don't mind it at all really but wonder how he manages to get his mouth so sideways.

R369 - He probably practiced a lot in front of a mirror.

^^^ I had the same thought. LOL!

I am Andrew Weissman. I will say something that provides or adds valuable insight or context to a story but in so doing, I'll make you listen to my vocal fry.

I apparently do not know how to speak without sounding like a frog!

At least with my poof of teased up hair in place, everyone will know that I'm not a frog...

Also, I will try and position myself in a different place in my fabulous Soho loft each time I zoom in so that you can take in all of my incredibly ironic art and tchotchkes.

I've loved glimpses of Weismann's apartment. Do we know it's in Soho? We used to see his dog regularly. Hope its ok.

John Heilemann went to Andrew’s apartment on The Circus. He lives in Brooklyn.

Was his wife at home?

Gotta be Brooklyn Heights.

I love Smirky Lemire.

R375 It's his open railing-free minimalist flight of stairs that always catches my eye. In private residences do building codes not apply?

Nicolle Wallace + Santos + Jet Packs

...oh my.

What is with Stephanie Ruhle's voice? Geez, she sounds harsh.

You're just noticing, R382? I like her but find her difficult to watch because of her voice. I aways want to give her a cough drop.

I'd like to see Gadi take over for Steph on the 11th Hour. Naked of course.

[quote] I'd like to see Gadi take over for Steph on the 11th Hour. Naked of course.

I want to see Gadi and Ben Collins co-anchor naked. C'mon, MSNBC execs, make it happen!

I always assumed that what looked like a bannister-less flight of stairs in Andrew's loft was just another piece of his ironic art collection.

Can we add Joe Fryer as a frequent contributor to the show? He'd be standing naked at the anchor desk with Gadi and Ben.

No comments about adorable mimic/comic Matt Friend who tickled Ari so mercilessly last night? Is Matt gay?

Ilhan is so pretty.

For Gadi fans: He was just named anchor of an hourly evening news show on NBC News NOW (the streaming service). Sadly, it appears that he will be clothed during the show.

I find myself liking NBC News Now better than MSNBC. So much less bloviating, and more actual news.

[quote] Can we add Joe Fryer as a frequent contributor to the show? He'd be standing naked at the anchor desk with Gadi and Ben.

And how about Steven Romo and Morgan Chesky, reporting naked from the field?

I understand MSNBC will be debuting "The News: Top to Bottom" with Gadi Schwartz and Vaughn Hillyard later this year.

Don’t forget me! I want to be naked, too!

I totally agree, R391. They are doing an excellent job building a line-up. They are giving the news with the same talking head contributors that show up on MSNBC, just a little less often. IF you have not checked out the channel, I strongly encourage you to do so. This is what I thought CNN+ was supposed to be.

Yes, R392. Steven and Morgan have already been signed as naked reporters in the field. They understand that all shots from the field will be full-body images

Also "Kornacki: Without Khakis"

Nicolle Wallace always sounds like a depressed valley girl

Clearly, NBC News needs to add an R-rated streaming network to showcase all their hot male talent: NBC Nudes Now.

Doesn't anyone want to see me naked?

Andrea, even old Mr. Greenspan doesn't want to see you naked.

NO Andrea. We'd actually like you to begin wearing a veil to cover your face effective immediately.

Matt Friend is adorable. At 24 he has quite a future ahead of him. I wonder if he went home with Ari after the show and stayed the night ?

[quote]Clearly, NBC News needs to add an R-rated streaming network to showcase all their hot male talent

I'd like to add Jacob Soboroff, Sam Brock, Jesse Kirsch, Raf Sanchez and Matt Bradley to the list of names given above.

I don't care about the flubbed words - Andrea has a gorgeous voice.

She does, R405. It is kind of raspy but soothing at the same time. It is an unusual combination.

Socialist Jamal Bowman taking credit for DEMOCRAT wins that he voted against.

#fakecongressman

No love for Garrett Haake?

For reasons that are known to him, r408.

Does this lack of interest mean that towering dreamboat Tom Winter is mine, all mine?

Ari is getting old and scruffy looking. He's going to be 43 in March, yet he looks like he's nearly 63. He needs to clean up his act for the cameras.

More Nick Confessore, please!

Does anybody call Lawrence, Larry?

Nick Confessore, like Eric Swalwell and DL fave Adam Kinzinger, would look so much handsomer clean shaven. There aren't many good-looking men that don't rock beards but those are three of them.

[quote] another piece of his ironic art collection

Entitled "The Treachery of Ironies (Ceci n’est pas un escalier)"

[quote]Ari is getting old and scruffy looking. He's going to be 43 in March, yet he looks like he's nearly 63. He needs to clean up his act for the cameras.

Ari has been lying about his age for years.

Jamal Bowman has no idea what he’s taking about & zero pushback from Alex Wagner.

Stephanie Rhule must have vocal nodules. Generally, people with voices like hers stay away from careers in broadcasting.

Disagree, r414!

The handsome Richard Engle is on Morning Joe today - wow! The guy just keeps getting sexier as he ages. If only he would take his shirt off when he's reporting...(sigh)

Ashley Parker is one unattractive person.

Always wonder about how she & Phil Rucker were on MSNBC all the time back in the day and now they are barely on.

Nicolle & Brian Williams had them on all the time and then poof gone.

Yay! Suze Orman was in the house today speaking with Mika. They were talking about women over fifty and preparing for a recession while preparing for retirement. I love the dig Mika gave her (paraphrasing a bit) :

"You started your dream when you were over fifty, and here you are - DECADES LATER - and you became a success. Did you ever think you'd be where you are at this age now ?"

Poor Suze gritted her teeth and stuck out her jaw as she tried to smile. She's only 71, yet Mika made it sound like she's 90 when she says 'decades later' from when she was in her fifties.

BTW - Ormon suggests everyone invest in T-Bills right now, for three months or six months. She said the interest is very good on them, and they are more reliable than the stock market these days. She does not recommend more than a six month investment - three months is ideal, and then you can re-invest for another three months.

r422, that is the same advice as put it all into cash, that I got excoriated for.

The debt ceiling crazy can last until June, and that would be a six-month window.

Again, she agrees with me.

R423 Buying T-Bills is the same as putting it all into cash ? How so ? (Seriously, I'm not following this.)

It is better because if you park cash and put it in a non-interest bearing account that is just treading water, putting it in a Treasury Bill is 100% safe at 4%.

Has anyone confirmed that Vaughn likes dick?

Yes, Vaughn has a bf, he's come out on Insta and shows photos of them together all the time, r426. Try to keep up.

Mxyzptlk ("Mxy")

^Oops! Wrong thread.

I'm horny.

[quote]Yes, Vaughn has a bf, he's come out on Insta and shows photos of them together all the time

Strictly speaking, this just means he's gay, it doesn't mean he "likes dick." He could be frigid.

r431 Oh he likes the Big D

They were engaged in August.

If he doesn't like dick, his future husband will probably be disappointed.

Are you suggesting that Vaughn will be legitimately wearing virginal white to the wedding, R433?

Their commitment bracelets symbolize the mutual vow to remain chaste until marriage.

Bristol Palin has been providing spiritual guidance and abstinence support. .

I bet Gadi, Vaughn and Steve Kornacki make the EXACT same surprised facial expression when they get rimmed.

I find Guad Venegas sexy.

Here's hoping this week's gushing fangurls will have grown past their arrested development in time to participate on thread "MSNBC Part 45" responsibly.

I miss the good old days when Muriel offered sections here according to interests, e.g. Politics, Gossip, Lesbian, etc.

That was pre-Muriel.

Those were the days of Webby (Webmaster).

Thanks, R439.

No. That was The Editor!!!

Editor…F&F and redtag Rxxx!

You just know Gadi has a big swinging cock.

Mine is big too!

Gadi is a hottie. But he's turning into a frau. Ever since he and his wife had a child, his Instagram is all pictures of their daughter and the joys of fatherhood.

Vaughn is a total bottom.

BIG, Vaughn? Compared to what? A baby carrot?

r445 Bottoms can have nice cocks too

Tori Spelling looked like Miss Piggy on Morning Joe.

Brittany Packnett Cunningham is aggressive on the defund the police plot. Never going to happen sister.

Another weekend of hour by hour rehash of one incident that was covered thoroughly on Friday.

The thing I like about Rachel's reporting is that she ALWAYS had a different angle.

Like if she were on, on Monday, she would compare all the CIVIL SUIT PAYOUTS for all of these Professional Black Lynchings.

She would do a deep dive as to WHO PAYS for the payouts.

[quote]She would do a deep dive as to WHO PAYS for the payouts.

That's her biggest problem. She's always doing a deep dive into stuff that everybody ALREADY KNOWS.

How about the difference between police departments that are self insured and those that have insurance?

How about the history of payouts and how it affects local budgets. Are we shorting teachers to pay for the sins of police officers?

Things people do NOT know.

At this point, honestly we could do without Rachel if she is going to show up and do a half-assed job. And it isn’t fair to Alex Wagner.

If MSNBC wants to keep her so bad they should make her the host of Meet The Press or give her a contract to only do historical specials, which seems to be her passion.

There are other personalities on that network who should be amplified and given a chance instead. Stephanie Ruhle is loud, give her Rachel’s timeslot to compete with the Fox assholes and make John Heilman and Alex Wagner cohosts of the 11th Hour.

No no no r453. I can't deal with Stephanie Ruhle

Put Gadi and his big swinging dick on for an hour in primetime!

Gadi just got a primetime hour on NBC News Now.

Who’s the bald black Roman with the red mouth? She’s a commentator with limited insight.

r457 Limited insight? That includes just about the entire pundit lineup on MSNBC.

I tuned out when MSNBC adopted the current "all Trump all the time" format.

[quote] when MSNBC adopted the current "all Trump all the time" format.

Always the same day in day out year in year out

I would love for Rachel to take on 'Meet the Press' and get rid of that current jackass who's hosting. Wasn't it rumored the past summer he was on the chopping block - and his days were numbered ?

R459 Same. I'm much better informed after switching to the Biden Crime Family network.

What losers still use the word woke?

r462 I know. I don't think anybody watches cable news for actual information anymore, but instead for confirmation of one's priors.

R463, closet White Supremacists who are in for a rude historical AWAKENING.

Ron DeSanctimonoius

HIMBO

It appears that Individual One is about to get his nuts in a vice. I wonder if Weisselberg is going to want to have his prison sentence extended?

Does anyone else like Maya Wiley when she's on the network ? She's so smart and well-spoken. I enjoy her immensely. I wish they would give her a show on weekends - she deserves one. Very attractive woman, too.

I was fully expecting Stormy Daniels as Rachel's surprise guest tonight, not that inarticulate NY Times reporter. Rachel spoke of how well Stormy is doing these days - nice to hear. I wonder if Rachel doesn't trust Michael Cohen. He would have been a logical guest tonight.

Totally agree on Maya, r469.

That NYT reporter put me to sleep. If his book is as boring as he talks, there' s no wonder why it didn't grab any one's attention (Rachel).

Both NY Times reporters were boring!

R469 Maya's fine. I just can't look at her. My scalp hurts.

[quote] Both NY Times reporters were boring!

I need to go back and re-watch, I must not have been paying attention.

The only book I remember being mentioned is the one soon to be released by the prosecutor who resigned in protest over the dropping of the case against Trump. He will be RM's guest next week. That sounded like it should have some good inside dirt.

I DVRed Rachel's show (because I had gone out) and started watching around 10:00, but fell asleep when the reporter came on.

I presumed it was because I was tired, but coming here made me realize it was that damn reporter.

I can't believe I don't remember but before the pandemic, did guests ever zoom into MSNBC shows? I guess not, but it now seems astounding that the money and complications of travel would be expended to have on air guests, all the time.

R476 You're correct. Pre-pandemic it was more usual to have guests sit across from Rachel in the studio and go face to face with her. Now they've stuck with the zoom-to-zoom, probably realizing it's more cost effective.

I think Rachel's trying to kill her own show so she won't have to do it anymore.

Doesn't Rachel's wife have cancer? If so, maybe that's why she's changed so much.

And she and Chris - maybe all of them - came up with the podcasts, maybe seeing the writing on the wall for continued ratings declines for tv.

Her wife had Covid that scard the shit out of Rachel.

If Rachel no longer wanted to do her show, she should have just broken it off completely with MSNBC. Instead, they're trying to have it both ways and it's not working.

I thought it was Rachel who had skin cancer?

Nicolle’s nose contour.

Nicolle is looking particularly dewy today. She laughingly referred to herself as a "political actor" earlier. Some DL posters will agree.

How is the dreadful "Alex Wagner Tonight" doing in the ratings, six months in ? Is it on 'the bubble' of being canceled?

Give 9pm to Ali V. or John Heilemann.

If either Heilemann or Velshi focused on investigative journalism, like Melber, ok.

But it is easier to move Attorney Melber to Maddow's slot (ewww, Maddow's slot) and put either Heileman or Velshi in the Melber position.

[quote] Nicolle is looking particularly dewy today.

dewy and bronzey.

Is she in D.C. today? The set looks different, and many of the guests who typically zoom in are in the flesh. David Fahrenthold, first time I've seen him in profile. Miles Taylor, cuteness. And Peter Strzok, revealing his bald spot.

Maybe she can take the make-up person back to NYC.

Give the 9 o'clock hour to Michael Steele, who might be able to book some repugnicant guests.

Maya Wiley should be sitting in NYC's City Hall, instead we're stuck with dumb-as-a-brick Mayor Adams. Thanks Rank Voting (which few voters fully understood)!

Melber did an epic interview with Gates.

What happened to John Heilemann’s show The Circus?

Not a bad idea, R489. I was impressed with Michael Steele the few times I heard him fill in as a host.

I think Steele is a wonderful choice. I also like Ron Reagan.

And those women - Winebanks, Barbara somebody (Alabama lady) -- oh I can't remember but there were several really smart female commentators during the worst of the Trump times (assuming they're over)

Barbara McQuade.

Now I need to figure the other one.

Joyce Vance !!!

R494, make that the fabulous Joyce Vance!!!

The Sisters in Law!

I would not mind a weekly show of them dishing the current world!

There is the audio podcast, but they also have appeared altogether on Jonathan Capehart's show recently. Zoomed in of course.

Alex Wagner is a good reporter but she’s not a STAR! She would have been better at 4pm and move Nicolle to 9pm

Anyone taking (most) of Rachel Maddow's slot has an uphill climb.

Joy Reid has bad skin.

Exactly, r500. I'm just fine with Alex.

Alex rocks. Although her ratings probably aren't stellar. I'm a little surprised that the TRMS team does not seem to be producing more in-depth pieces for her, ala Rachel. Many nights she ends up rehashing the stories of the day, albeit very proficiently.

That is Alex's biggest problem. By the time 9 PM comes around I don't want to see just another rehash of the news I've been watching since 4 PM.

Even Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'D are able to give a somewhat fresh spin on things, but Alex always seems to be spinning wheels already spun. And I like Alex! Just wish she had better producers/writers.

r504 News? I haven't seen much news on MSNBC in years now.

R505 That troll bait is getting old. Doesn't even make sense.

On come on, r506... you have to admit r505 has a point.

Waiting for the "at least MSNBC isn't as bad as Fox News" line.

Like I said, it's getting really old.

Not everybody has to like every MSNBC program or personality, R509.

We ignored you the first time you said it upthread, R505.

R510 The hackneyed and repetitive "haven't seen news on MSNBC in years" nonsense, speaks nothing to that.

I know, R511. Reading opinions that differ from your own can be difficult. You'll get better at it.

If McQuade and Vance were ever to get their own show, please let them have some make-up artists and hair stylists in the budget. They always look like they just left working a 24 hour shift at Family Dollar.

R514 ouch.

I wish they'd get rid of Nicolle. Not sure what the fascination with her is.

r516...

[quote]Not everybody has to like every MSNBC program or personality, R509.

I think Andrea is the best, sexiest anchor currently on MSNBC.

Thank you for sharing, Mr. Greenspan.

I’d like to see MSNBC promote Willie Geist to bigger and better things. He’s handsome, personable and knowledgeable. He’s not wasted on Morning Joe because he’s a welcome break from the hosts. He was a frequent guest on Watch What Happens Live. He was so relaxed when Cohen flirted with him.

[quote] I haven't seen much news on MSNBC in years now.

MSNBC's 𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑑 𝑒̂𝑡𝑟𝑒 is wish fulfillment. Not news.

[quote] I can't believe I don't remember but before the pandemic, did guests ever zoom into MSNBC shows? I guess not, but it now seems astounding that the money and complications of travel would be expended to have on air guests, all the time.

Pre-pandemic, you would sometimes have remote guests, but they were usually at local NBC stations' studios or sometimes at their work office (like a NY Times reporter live from the NY Times newsroom). It would have been considered bizarre and inappropriate for someone to appear live on air from their bedroom or kitchen. Now, thanks to COVID, that's considered perfectly normal.

What up with Lawrence tonight, his skin color is bordering on Trumpian.

That's weird, r523, because Nicolle's skin also had an orange glow today.

Who's been fuckin' around with the Max Factor???

Perish the thought of fucking around with Barbara McQuade's and Joyce Vance's hairstyling and makeup! That disheveled careless look they both sport is so much a part of their realness and accessibility. If I want a beautifully groomed lawyer I can always gaze upon Jill Wine Banks.

I love all three of them and what they each bring on camera.

Btw, McQuade, believe it or not, has a very hot husband. No time to link now but look him up!

Willie can never completely avoid the stench of his former job as sidekick to Tucker Carlson.

Ari Melber needs to shave.

[quote]Ari Melber needs to shave.

Every four hours.

[quote]I haven't seen much news on MSNBC in years now.

To a certain degree I would say this is a fair statement, at least where it comes to any news not related to Trump. Last night when I got home and my phone was just starting to blow up with alerts about Cindy Williams, they made no mention of it at all on MSNBC -- Joy Reid was on at the time followed by Chris Hayes and neither said a word about it; however, I switched over to CNN and Anderson Cooper was reporting on it as did my local news channel at 10:00. This is not to suggest that MSNBC was obligated to say something about the passing of a sitcom star from long ago, just that it's a prime example of how they don't pay much attention to anything that doesn't involve the former guy.

Who the fuck is Cindy Williams?

When it first became a thing I could access - I guess early 199s - I became obsessed with BBC News. Now, not so much - but I'm really into France 24 and Deutsche Welle (both have English versions on youtube.)

However, at the height of my nervous breakdown due to Donald John Trump, I was glued to MSNBC every night and it was a kind of therapy - and about the only thing that helped me stay sane. That there were talking heads who could HELP me through what felt like a Hitler cum Bolsonaro cum Duterte cum Kim Jong Un nightmare. I've needed time away so back to France and Germany...

But with the Supreme Court and R House takeoever, I have a feeling I'll be needing that therapy again soon. Nice to have a a reprieve though. What good is factual news when you're country is almost literally imploding?

* early 1990s

Senator Chris Murphy looked sexy and casual on w/ Lawrence tonight.

Yup Chris Murphy looks intensely attractive.

I lived through Trump. I'd rather not spend every waking hour hearing about him.

Jill WIne-Banks is always impeccably accessorized.

R531, I hope comedy isn’t your day job.

Barb McQuade always looks like peppermint Patty and Joyce Vance looks like she’s just smelt pig-pen.

Mika did a nice tribute to Cindy Williams around 8:30 am on "Morning Joe" Tuesday morning - about 12 hours after we learned the news.

Barb McQuade and Joyce Vance look like they both smell of BO and stale cigarette smoke. They are just not 'camera friendly'.

Joyce Vance is horrendous looking.

For actual news, I'd start with NBC News Now or CBSN

I think what gives Vance and McQuade a worse camera presence is the fact that they speak in that sleepy southern drawl; they have no emotion in their voice or facial expression.

I think they're great and love their intonation as well. Guess I'm weird.

I hate that perky bleached blonde shit like Megyn Kelly or Mika whoever the dingbat is...

Is Lawrence O'Donnell a hottie? Wolf Blitzer? Why do women have to be judged so harshly on their looks and voices?

We do the exact same thing to the men on MSNBC as well as male celebrities, politicians and athletes in general. Just read the 500+ posts above yours.

[quote]Is Lawrence O'Donnell a hottie?

His Playgirl centerfold was pretty hot.

It's 70 degrees, Michael. Wouldn't you be more comfortable without the jacket?

[quote] I lived through Trump.

No you haven't.

And it's that dismissive head-in-the-sand attitude that will ensure you haven't.

Maybe R549. But watching MSNBC sure as hell isn't the answer.

[quote] MSNBC sure as hell isn't the answer.

The only answer is voting. MSNBC provides a constant stream of information as to why that is critically important. They've clearly got a mission. But you can't say they don't deliver news.

If you don't find it interesting, if you need more pop culture coverage, there are other options. It's very simple.

If you like NBC/MSNBC personalities and want news, turn to NBC News Now. Unless there is something dramatic going on in the world, that is where I go now.

R551 If MSNBC devotes 90 percent of its coverage to Trump, that means a lot of news goes uncovered, and not just pop culture stories. They cover Trump so much because a lot of viewers apparently like getting stirred up. Like Fox News, MSNBC thrives on stirring up the base. The Trump presidency created enough anxiety for me, and I could not wait for them to move on to other important stories. They never did, so I moved on.

Yes R552 NBC News Now and CBS News Live are both great!

[quote]If MSNBC devotes 90 percent of its coverage to Trump...

They don't, r553.

R555 I never did a study. But every time I tuned in, the pundits and hosts were discussing Trump. I think Nicolle led with a Trump story for years on end.

I'm so glad Chris Hayes stopped yelling at his audience.

We had Trump in office for years on end and he still won't go away, r556. He's still going to be in the news whether you like it or not. There's also Ukraine, Tyre Nichols, McCarthy and the House, etc. Sorry if the ongoing investigations and lawsuits and counting down to indictments annoys you, but...it's legitimate news that people are and should be interested in.

R558 But the media bears some of the responsibility for Trump not going away. Trump drives ratings. If the media had treated him like any other former president and stopped covering him, he probably would have faded away a long time ago. You can cover important Trump stories without the constant endless breathless coverage that has come to define MSNBC.

Agreed, r559. Though I wouldn't call the coverage breathless at this point.

The Kia K5 and Hyundai Sonata are rated highly on Consumer Reports.

You get a loaded K5 with all wheel drive and a sunroof for under $32k.

Beware though-Kia and Hyundai dealers are notorious for being assholes. If you choose it, I would suggest using a buying service like Costco or AAA.

sorry wrong thread

My hour is always breathless.

I think Chris has a bit of a crush on Ta Nehisi Coates. Seemed to be actively flirting with him. Rewatched the interview with the audio off, his facial expressions and cues were so clued in.

AOC went into drama queen territory.

Alex Wagner talks way too much.

Racist cunt @ r565, she was ENRAGED.

She was justified as the White Supremacist House majority has only taken actions against women of color.

Smirky has the morning off and Katty Kay is in full formal Brit news reader mode. Very low key. Almost restful. Very likable.

Nicolle is OBSESSED w/ 1/6.

Given that they were just normal tourists, r569, it does seem odd.

[quote] Nicolle is OBSESSED w/ 1/6.

Hallie Jackson ended her show by saying that Antony Blinken was about to give a press conference about the Chinese spy balloon and his cancelled trip to China. She said Nicolle would pick up the live coverage. Cut to Nicolle, who says nothing about the balloon or the press conference and instead spends the first 30 minutes of the show on the latest Trump and 1/6-related craziness with her "favorite friends" Carol Leonnig and Tim Miller. I like Nicolle, and I'm glad she's holding Trump and the GOP accountable, but must she begin every show with the latest news from Trump land?

Doesn't bother me, r571.

Everything Nicolle says: A noun, a verb, and January 6th.

I want to hear about the Chinese spy balloon!!!

I'd rather listen to Nicolle talk about Trump than to hear Mika go on about Know Your Value.

Hard pass on both, R575

R571 She eventually covered the China story in the first hour. She had her panel of guests lined up for discussion of election denialists (not really 1/6). Only one of those guests was scheduled to remain and comment on the China story. I imagine those logistics along and her production team determined in what order the topics were covered.

I'm very glad that Nicolle and MSNBC in general are obsessed with saving democracy in this country - for which what happened on 1/6 was only the wake-the-fuck-up moment.

r573, I Donald J Trump plead the 5th.

A noun, a verb, and the 5th.

Ashley Parker is UGLY.

Can’t believe a guy married & impregnated her.

Low Standards.

R579 I have compassion for her. She's got that dead-inside resting face. Probably a victim of child abuse.

I agree R571. I routinely watch Nicole, but today I had enough of her obsession with 1/6. She has become obsessed with throwing Trump's fat ugly ass in prison. Now as thrilling as that would be, she needs to spend more time on non-Trump news. She says that too much press is given to Trump and his followers in Congress then turns around and repeatedly opens her show with MAGA stories.

R581

When other events occur - the war in Ukraine, police brutality, mass shootings, general election politics, a football player having a coronary - then they take precedence.

The show has an agenda. They prioritize news according to it. That should be clear by now.

It's also what her audience (including me) wants to see. It's not going to change unless her ratings do.

[quote] She eventually covered the China story in the first hour. She had her panel of guests lined up for discussion of election denialists (not really 1/6). Only one of those guests was scheduled to remain and comment on the China story. I imagine those logistics along and her production team determined in what order the topics were covered.

It was just a very awkward transition when Hallie Jackson said Nicolle would be continuing MSNBC's coverage with Antony Blinken's press conference, and then Nicolle didn't air the press conference live and didn't even mention the China story until 30 minutes into her show. (CNN aired the press conference live.)

So...blame Hallie, r583.

R583 Got it, thanks. I'm never streaming live, so I missed the context.

who can watch/ listen to old lady alex wagner??? is she married to a big executive ? wtf? why she on the fukin air ?

R586 You must be new here. Her old man is Sam Kass.

[quote] old lady alex wagner???

You sure you don't mean Alex Witt?

Alex Wagner is 45, same age range as many of the MSNBC hosts.

Finally the end of the Dateline hegemony on the weekend.

Mornings Joe from 3-4am this morning before Phang. YES!!!

Ooh! Thanks for sharing the photo of Sam Kass! He's a handsome, shaved-head hot hunk!

Lucky Wagner!

I'm not a fan of Nicolle Wallace at all. Whenever I watch her she sounds like a high school senior cheerleader who took over the PA system in the principal's office. I can only tolerate so much of her in the afternoon.

That said, I don't mind that she starts each show with coverage of the Janaury 6 insurrection. Let's face it - Trump and his MAGATs caused an insurrection, and is still a danger to our country. He's now running for President again and has his millions of followers. Kudos to her to remind Americans every day of that horrific attempt to overthropw our government on January 6 - and she should cover it every single day until he's brought to justice.

Michael Steele was covering for Joy the other night. He needs a show in a decent time slot - he's smooth and fast on his feet.

Totally agree r591!

[quote] Mornings Joe from 3-4 am this morning

I just noticed that, my DVR recorded "Morning Joe Weekend" as an episode of "MSNBC Specials". Haven't watched yet, new content or re-caps of segments from the week?

It was the Best of The Week Segments.

I watch it 3-7 every morning, but if I have to leave the room, i miss stuff.

Saw a few things I missed. Really liked it.

Mostly because it isn't that fucking, droning, murder fest called Dateline that MSNBC uses as filler. I think it is brilliant that Rashida is hi lighting the Weekly Best of Morning Joe and not paying NBC for the Dateline crapfest.

GO RASHIDA!

I remember when it used to be Lockup : Raw.

Rachel would say - Now it's time to go to prison!

Noun. Verb. January 6th.

Just looking at the comments on here, it's easy to see why MSNBC's ratings have been poor. Half of the people can't get enough of Trump. The other half want to hear as little as possible from him. In the end, one side will be unhappy.

DL fave Marc Caputo has left NBC/MSNBC. Apparently he was fired because of disturbing Instagram posts in which he bragged about evicting a tenant.

Caputo is such a hot guy - too bad he's an idiot.
