MSNBC - Part 51

Prior thread

Why isn't anyone reporting that there has been a motion to televise the Trump 1/6 trial in DC.

Decision by November 10th.

I heard it reported.

Please, god!

The signer for the Lewiston press conference needs a show of her own.

So much awful news these days. One horrible thing after another.

Really hoping Speaker Johnson continues to get the MSNBC harsh spotlight on all of his depravity and stupidity.

I was surprised to hear Ari say that he'd already been on his show in the past. Johnson doesn't seem the type to allow that kind of vulnerability. I wonder what brought him on?

[quote]I wonder what brought him on?

It gave him a chance to yell at Ari for killing Jesus.

Did Ari spring any rap quotes on Johnson?

Did he quote Kathy Griffin accepting her Emmy?

No Mehdi, interesting….

The coverage of the massacre in Maine is a reminder of just how many seem to think it's actually called a "candlelight visual".

I know, hardly the takeaway from such a horrific event, but finding a bit of humor where possible.

Where is Joseph today?

Flossing the cat. As they say.

I'm tired of Kornacki's GOP presidential polls, I don't believe them.

Same here r15!

After MSNBC signed their homo statistician to a multi-million dollar, multi-year deal, they have to use him whenever they can.

Things are getting more interesting.

IDF Moving To Cut Off Gaza City From South

Israeli tanks have begun to be sighted in Gaza City, with reports that they closing in on the city from two directions.

I guess Donny Deutsch spends the money he saves on socks on trendy (and unflattering) eyeglasses.

R19 Yes, but a vast improvement on his former cringey trademark muscle tees.

Why is everyone writing a fucking book?

Are you referring to Jen Psaki? That's one I might even "read" if it's available on audio. I thought Alex did a good job of selling it.

Mika on with a black turtleneck looking like what becomes a legend...

[quote]Mika on with a black turtleneck looking like what becomes a legend...

It's a mink turtleneck?

Neocons love turtlenecks

Will Lawrence be back tonight?

Depends if Lawrence has sobered up yet

I'm curious if all these people getting COVID have had the latest booster.

I would assume, r28. Don't forget that Rachel was all over pushing her book.

Mr. & Mrs. Mike Schmidt-Wallace!

Imagine Nicolle & Mike having sexy time!

Who is the TOP? BOTTOM?

Looks like Chris Hayes will be doing an expose tonight on Rhonda Santis' elevator heels.

Joe & Mika trying to make Christie & DeSantis happen on MJ.

I wonder if Alex is shoeing uo or if we get more of the Black Gay Guy?

Lawrence 🔥🔥🔥

R32 DeSantis looks like he's melting.

I had to take a break from MSNBC for the first time since its debut. The hurricane of Hamas disinformation was too much. I switched to CNN whenever Gaza comes up. At least there’s some semblance of balance.

[quote] I switched to CNN whenever Gaza comes up. At least there’s some semblance of balance.

If you've watched MSNBC from its debut you should have known they have never offered balanced coverage on anything.

^Not my experience at all, but thanks so much for your “opinion.”

Does Lawrence have a lady friend?

Don't if they're still seeing each other but last year Lawrence was dating WEEDS actress Mary-Louise Parker. Love them both. but an odd couple if ever there was one.

[quote] I had to take a break from MSNBC for the first time since its debut. The hurricane of Hamas disinformation was too much

Then you missed Joe, Donnie and Adam Kinzinger resetting the argument and perspective for Israel’s right to defend itself. Joe’s still trying to make the tagline happen: “When an anew dies, it’s a win for Hamas. When a Palestinian dies, it’s a win for Hamas”.

Adam is looking a bit puffy these days. He must miss the Capitol gym. All the bukkake he took there really tightened up his face.

[quote] they have never offered balanced coverage on anything.

Right, they're routinely biased towards the truth.

Does anyone follow Kornacki's non-political work for NBC? Apparently, he travels around covering horse races and dog shows.

Chris Hayes is not a likeable person.

Andrew Weissmann looks great in a tux! I wonder where he was going or where he came from.

He did look incredibly dashing. I was surprised there was no mention of why he was wearing a tux.

Nicolle Wallace’s show is the Trump Show, playing Biden for abt 5 minutes.

Blame our failing media when he is back.

I will praise her when SCOTUS blocks Jabba the Trump from the ballot.

r48 = "The food there is terrible, every mouthful is poison...and they give you such small portions!

Jason Johnson. Ewww.

He’s better than that queen, Jonathan Capehart. Double ewww.

I am willing to bet Chris Hayes has had a cock in his mouth. Anyone else think so?

I wish that Rashida would stop trying to make Malcolm Kenyata a thing.

Cue up Mandela Barns in the wings.

Other people being blown to pieces by land stealers — SO DULL.

More war porn for r55!

Actually r56 I’d rather rub one out to a twink having a hands-free — I’ll leave the wanking to mass murder to you.

Pigs for Palestine^

Symone can’t do spontaneous breaking news!

Symone's got something to say, y'all.

Has Symone gained weight? She looks wider than usual.

Was she advised to go off the Wegovy?

She was unloading the junk in the trunk for a while.

Is Symone on the Ozempic?

Is Symone in NYC to run the marathon?

Jonathan Capehart is really bad at being an anchor.

I got rid of cable. MSNBC lost me in the last year. The scope of news is minuscule, the shows repeat each other with the same experts.

I got the Max/HBO app for $10/month and it has a CNN live stream beta. I can check MSNBC audio on TuneIn.

Nearly all MSNBC daily programming is available largely ad-free as audio showcasts - along with a number of additional podcast productions - including the excellent Prosecuting Trump with Andrew and Mary.

Mehdi is downgrading Biden for his support of Israel.

Fuck him.

I saw Velshi weaseling the former Prime minister of Israel over the Israeli position on GAZA CHILDREN.

Ali, he doesn't care about a million people when every Jewish life in Israel is at stake.

Medhi is a fucking moron, why do you think Rashida buries his show on Sundays.

No one is watching him, but he should just join the squad instead of being an “ anchor.”

The Palestinian guest who was just on said exactly what I’ve been saying. All the newly minted anti Israel westerners are playing into Hamas’ plan. Hamas orchestrated this all, embedded with civilians, to make Israel look wrong.

As he said, Hamas won’t stop with Israelis. They hate us too.

These young keyboard warriors didn’t live through 9/11 and various other terrorist acts by extremists.

That John Kirby is such a cutie. I'm a fan. Gives off ally vibes, says thank you & blushes when gays hit on him, and goes humbly home to his wife.

Is John Kirby the grey haired fellow with Nicolle? He was ok.

R70

Then BONKERS Rashida Tlaib is the biggest fool of all.

Maddow time.

PUNDIT CLASS.

Joe and Mika are PUNDIT CLASS.

Rachel Maddow called their asses out!!!

R73, Rashida is making the same mistake that Right Wingers make . She forgets that she was elected to represent her district. She needs to be more moderate and low key, diplomatic, and not Shida from the Strip.

Interesting Claire McCaskill.

Never heard the lame crew ask to release the hostages only pro-hamas rhetoric.

Cori Bush Jamaal Bowman AOC Summer Lee Ayanna Pressley Greg Casar Ilhan Omar Rashida Tlaib

Primary these antisemitics.

I live in Summer Lee’s district. She won the Dem primary in 2022 by less than 1000 votes against four other competitors. She could easily be primaried next year.

R53, no. Chris screams nerdy gild star straight guy.

Gold star

I see Cori Bush and Summer Lee primaried.

I live in NYC and would never vote for AOC if she goes for higher office.

Joy is Pro-Hamas.

Go Andy Beshear! I hope he wins and I hope MSNBC gets him for a one on one interview tonight!

Let's see about Virginia.

MSNBC just called KY for Andy Beshear!

EXCELLENT r87! Thanks for the update. McConnell’s Razor Bumps Coon would’ve been bad for Kentucky.

Alex Wagner is wearing a beautiful blue top tonight in honor of the BIG BLUE WAVE we'll be seeing tonight.

[quote] would never vote for AOC R83

I confess I don't follow her closely, but is AOC really a twat? Whenever I've seen her in Congressional committee, she always seems to have her shit together, incredibly prepared to the degree that she puts others to shame. Usually in a very succinct manner.

[quote]Whenever I've seen her in Congressional committee, she always seems to have her shit together, incredibly prepared to the degree that she puts others to shame. Usually in a very succinct manner.

Exactly, r90. How very dare she!

It was mentioned this morning on Morning Joe that The Circus won't be returning for another season. When asked why John Heilemann said that there have been changes at Paramount. Ok MSNBC, time to offer John a show.

THE CIRCUS 🎪 is the best show!

John lost his show, podcast??

Chris Jansing, go away!!!!!!

No.

Rashida, delete an hour from Velshi on the weekend, rearrange the schedule, and give it to  John Heilemann.

Grrl.

R94 = Symone

I keep getting all the Rashida references mixed up.

Rashida was great on The Office.

Not to mention Parks & Rec.

What has Claire McKaskill done to her face? And specifically her lips?? And that new shade of blonde is just too brassy.

Claire McCaskill only botoxed half of her face.

She could have afforded much better quality with her 65 million.

Claire needs to cream that crepey neck.

R96 I'd rather they give him Jonathan Capehart's time. I have nothing against him but he's dreadful at having his own show.

I agree r105!

Get rid of Medi

Joy is anti-israel & anti-jewish

Oh goodness Chris Hayes has on tonight BONKERS Rashida Tlaib.

Chris Hayes better not pussy out.

Oh Rashida is going after Blinken now to save face.

Chris Hayes just did a puff piece story for Rashida.

There is a reason why she did Chris and not Jake Tapper.

Andrew Weiselmann (sp) was a guest on The Circus recently, talking mob convictions with John H. I love the trendy NYC restarurants they go to. The food always looks so good....

Chris Hayes excitability is annoying as fuck!

I am way over Chris Hayes. He brays to the progressives, is always trying to show he is equal to Nicolle, Ari, and Rachel and jumps around like a child. Rasida won't tell him to settle down since he kisses the progressive's asses.

Dems need to expel Hamas loving Rashida.

Evening line-up speculatively ranked by raw IQ. Which does not directly correlate to smarts or ability.

Rachel

Chris

Lawrence

Jen

Ari, Alex

Nicolle

Joy, Steph

I like (not) how some of you try to dismiss Joy by either leaving her out of the conversation altogether or by denigrating her. She is an intelligent woman who is very good at what she does and who is more interesting to watch than Sir Rachel, she of the single black outfit, poker face Ari Mix-A-Lot and monotone Nicolle.

I agree that Joy is intelligent, and a valuable voice on the network. I see no reason to disparage her. Similarly Nicolle is probably the most effective host on MSNBC, but I wouldn't describe her as brilliant. She makes up for that by being exceptionally well-informed and genial.

I'm a Joy fan too, R118. I liked her (and Rachel's) cameo in Red, White, and Royal Blue.

Joe Scarborough is also on the 4 day work week!

Do you really think he will be in tomorrow?

I have no problem with that because the Mighty Mika held her own today with the NJ Fat Bastard.

Epic.

Katy Tur has become a major disappointment. She is positively giddy today with Joe Manchin's announcement. She keeps repeating "a possible spoiler for Joe Biden in 2024," and smiling broadly. I bet her thong is wet. Fuck off, cunt.

Katy Tur is not getting fucked enough by that hot husband.

She's not been right since she cut her hair.

R124

That soccer mom hair and nose don’t mix.

Joy is anti-israel

What kind of name is Tur, anyway?

Short.

I like Katy Tur, she asks some good questions.

Joy is anti-gay, too.

Take off that stupid hat.

Everybody stop what you're doing. r130 needs attention.

R118 [quote] She makes up for that by being exceptionally well-informed and genial.

And her passion. It's easy to make fun, roll your eyes, about Nicolle's obsessive drumbeat warning of a potential 2nd Trump presidency. I've heard that done, on otherwise left-leaning news podcasts. Personally, I'm grateful to her. And so should others in the media be, who look forward to having a job after 2024.

R105, That intolerable fairy, Jonathan Lemire, is even worse.

R133 is right.

And yes, Katy needs to grow her hair back.

That Twink Jonathan Lemire

Mika & Willie on that 4 day work week too!

Daddy Joe Scarborough is at the desk!!!

Willie has always had Mondays off because of Sunday Today. I wonder what he must think of being stuck as 3rd bananna at MJ. Mika is sleeping with the boss and gets to sit next to Joe, while Willie is like the stepson everyone likes, but he knows he's not family.

Wille did not go to Mika & Joe’s wedding….

Did Willie's wedding invitation get lost in the mail?

Was MJ conceived with Willie in mind as a third host, or was he added later, and if so, for what reason?

Joe in DC today.

I think it was originally Joe, with Willie as sort of a sidekick (Robin?) and Mika as a news reader. Mika made a huge stink when she somehow found out Willie was being paid more than her. In those days, Mika was more of a contrarian to Joe, and Willie just seemed to go with the flow. So America fell in love(!) with Joe and Mika's Sam and Diane from Cheers vibe, and Mika was sitting next to him.

KNOW YOUR VALUE!!

Joe was poking holes in blowhard Leibovich having to lengthy preface every fucking statement. So funny. When it comes to thumbs, I prefer John Heilemann.

R134, Smirky Lemire isn't a fag, though.

Matt Damon

With the Circus ending, I hope MSNBC finds something for Heileman and crew. It can be once a week, end of the week whatever. Seeing people relax and eating in ritzy settings is a good change from the strum and drang of all the MSNBC hosted hour long shows.

R145, Lemire breaks my gaydar on a daily basis.

Is Leibovich the hot daddy Mr. Clean guy?

Leibovich is somehow very sexy to me, even when he's not looking so good.

Maybe it's his voice.

Totally agree, r149! Including that one funny Vulcan ear.

He's effortlessly butch...

Chris Hayes doesn't have an Adam's Apple.

He looks like he could be related to Meloni, in an Oz kinda way.

But I still prefer Heilemann in the thumb/Mr Clean category.

Maybe The Circus can become a weekly MSNBC show.

They could put it on Saturday or Sunday night.

Heilemann is a little flighty.

Leibovich looks like he really knows how to ram it home.

R156, I’d like to find out.

Heilemann reminds me of Henry...

Did Heilemann and his wife break up?

He doesn’t wear his wedding ring anymore?

Ayman in for Alex

Ali in for Lawrence

Too much Palestinian angst. Pity the Palestinians who had no idea that their reliance on Hamas would come to no good.

Sweet Jesus, I hope Stephanie doesn't spen an hour blubbering about the CHILDREN.

Actually hoping for Symone...

So nice to see Handsome Van Grack uncharacteristically cheerful on DL:WH today, while delivering some slightly negative analysis.

I guess even a mercurial beauty gets to be upbeat some of the time.

[quote] Chris Hayes doesn't have an Adam's Apple.

Sometimes attributed to excessive masturbation during the developmental cycle.

Or transsexualism.

Mehdi Hasan is anti-jewish and anti-israel.

antisemite implies antizionist

Chris Hayes spawned 3 kids, hard to do if he's trans.

A penis does not need to enter a vagina to spawn children. A turkey baster will do the trick!

Viable jizz still needs to cum from a penis somewhere.

Any penis will do...with a turkey baster.

So sick and tired of Muslim hosts pushing foreign policy over Palestinian children. Putin stole thousands of Ukrainian children and put them into brainwashing camos. Crickets.

Sweet Jesus, now Bedouins?

The enemy is Hamas.

There are no 2 sides, Mehdi is a glorified antisemite.

He hates jews and israel, he must resign from that buried sunday night show.

Joy’s hatred of israel translates to her being antisemite, she must go.

R172, She escaped retribution when her past homophobic tweets were revealed.

MSNBC Rashida did not bury Ayman & Mehdi’s shows on Sunday nights because they are good.

Ayman deserves to be back in the weekly line-up.

Mehdi needs to stay on Peacock & never show up in primetime.

Joy is the only weekday host whose show I watch from start to finish.

Mental Midget Kristen Welker - made to look a fool by Radaswamy during the Republican debate the other night - completely blew her interview with Ronna McDaniel. Soft pedal doesn't even begin to describe it.

Welker knows that her Republican interviewees are there voluntarily.

If she pushed them to be truthful, she would eventually only have Democrats to interview.

And if you are adhering to a fake "balanced" reporting, the more powerful the person, the more softball the interview,

Chuck Turd only got aggressive with his Republican stooges when he knew he was out the door.

Tough call.

🔥Senator Chris Murphy 🔥

Too bad he married a political spouse he doesn’t love, but is stuck with her since he wants to be president.

[quote] Chuck Turd only got aggressive with his Republican stooges when he knew he was out the door.

Not entirely true, he was capable of good follow-up, and called out obvious falsehoods - "alternate facts". And on occasion, he could go after hypocrites hard, like the scorchings he served idiot Ron Johnson. Still, the pressure to appear even-handed did muffle a lot of opportunities to expose lies.

I enjoy the special panels they have at night when there's big political news. I hope they do them every evening during Trump's federal trial in March.

Mehdi had the crazy dude from Justice Democrats on his show. They are both anti-Biden now due to the Middle-East war supporting Israel.

What fucking antisemitic assholes. The alternative is Dump so good luck with that rhetoric.

Mehdi is anti-Biden? What's he going to do? Vote for Trump? Not vote but trash talk Biden so that others are persuaded not to vote for Biden, either?

Talk about 'Can't See the Forest for the Trees.'

He's too smart to be called stupid, but he needs to parse out what he's thinking and and saying and be clear that. it's about policy differences.

Mehdi spewing shit about polls, which last week showed polls aren’t realistic.

Andrew Weissmann in a black turtleneck on Nicolle's show. Hot!

R184, He’s still a fag.

Sew?

Jonathan Karl + Jen Psaki 🔥

Fire Chris Hayes permanently and give Jen Psaki this time slot all week.

That aint happening.

Loved Maddow tonight.

Maddow actually worked?

I missed the beginning of the story about Gabe Amo, RI's new Congressman. Did he replace an old Dem?

Did Stephanie Rhule jack up her face with botox??

She looks very lifted this morning.

Yasmin + Ali Vitali 🔥

Ohhhhhh, Tim Heaphy! How I'd like to put a big smile and that handsome face.

Jesse Kirsch. newbie?

Does Raf favor the boys?

R197, I sure do.

[quote] Does Raf favor the boys?

Apparently not.

I never would have thought that Raf eats pussy.

Raf has a twinkish figure.

Raf annoys the shit out of me.

Boundary stated.

I initially liked Raf, he was intriguing and oddly attractive. When he started editorializing about the Hamas-Israeli conflict I was repulsed. To discover he was het was the end of my infatuation.

OK so now we've established Raf belongs in the trash heap.

What's the story with Jesse Kirsch?

Jesse Kirsch is adorable!

Yes he is r205!

Tim Miller was on with Alicia Menendez in Nicolle's spot.

Did anybody ask that queen about Tim Scott's failed campaign? What's the tea?

The NYT mentioned his "girlfriend." It had shade written all over it.

Asked Tim Miller about Scott's campaign, I mean.

Adorable Jesse looking (sort of) rugged

Does Jesse like pussy or dick?

I'm tired of all of it. Just more distraction to the crap that's happening here: easy access to guns, families living in cars, American super-billionaires doing nothing to help ANYONE but aggrandizing themselves. Don't get me started.

And Jared Kushner paying Mexican-funded media to promote Trump

Joy Reid is Pro-Hamas & Pro- Palestine.

MJ is very watchable these days.

In the interest of full disclosure, will Santos's donors be informed as to which OF subscriptions their contributions paid for?

Ick...just...ick.

Omg. This bitch used campaign funds to pay for OnlyFans? Stick an Ozempic syringe in her, she’s done.

Aren't most OnlyFans accounts between $10-20/month? He must have scores of those accounts to need that much money to pay for them.

Where is Nicolle Wallace?

I was waiting for Lawrence to explain to his viewers what OnlyFans is.....

Nicolle seems to have taken a half week off.

Funny, but I am liking Alicia.

Like them both.

We all need to be nice to Alicia.

Nicolle is on MSNBC’s new 2-days-a-week employment plan.

Um... She is looking good. R222

Alex Wagner is a shill for Hamas. I can no longer bear to watch her disinformation. Raf Sanchez is no longer a reporter, inserting his pro-Hamas opinions into every news piece he does now. There are very few programs left on MSNBC I can tolerate due to this overt and widespread bias.

I agree R225. I am over the bullshit progressive attitude of many on MSNBC. I only watch MJ and Nicolle Wallace (though I get tired of her obsession with Trump. Raf Sanchez shoots his mouth off, and the pearls just fall out of it.

R225, I have been watching MSNBC for years, I know the blocks. If Palestinians are in the A block I know it will last until after the commercials. I flip to Antiques Roadshow UK until 20 after. Then I go back to MSNBC to check out the shorter B block. There are decades of Roadshow, so it rarely repeats. I only watch what I want to watch.

Nobody on MSNBC is pro-Hamas. Stop the fucking hysteria.

Stop yours, Cuntface. In the tunnels for Hamas.^

If they're rooting for Palestinians, they're pro-Hamas and pro-terrorists.

Santos is apparently pro-Hermes, spending $4K of campaign funds there, along with $6K at Ferragamo, $3K on Hamptons getaway AirBnB, plus incidental spa days, including Botox treatments. Honeymoon in Vegas and trips to Atlantic City, the boy likes to gamble. and those casino ATMs are a godsend. And yet somehow I think he'll adapt and do very well in prison.

JOY REID is ANTISEMITIC too.

Joy Reid is an intelligent black woman, which people like R232 hate.

While I thought the brightly colored frames looked kind of ridiculous on her already multi-colored look, the ever-trending chunky black ones aren't doing Molly JF any favors. I'd like to see her in some retro aviators.

Molly Jong Fast has a face for radio.

r232 is retarted.

I only believe anchors who are pro Hamas release of War Prisoners.

This is a war against Hamas. To reframe it otherwise is Pro-Islamic State.

Palestine will only exist if it is a democratic state free from jihads.

Until Israel sees that it has killed enough people to guarantee this, they will keep killing.

Easy peasy.

R235, Jennifer Palmieri has a face that should never be seen on camera.

JOY REID IS PRO-HAMAS.

Will any of the people with evening daily shows on MSNBC show up for work next week?

At best, Monday and Tuesday.

I would bet thaat Ian Bassin is a complete freak in bed. Don't know why I think that. He gives off a heavy nerd vibe, but the things I would do to his tight little body.

The MacArthur Foundation chose Bassin as a genius grant recipient. Chris Hayes had Ian Bassin on the other day and said to him. Wow a genius grant, I know that guy but a genius. You could tell Ian was annoyed with Chris but he held his tongue. Would have loved to know what he was thinking.

R242 I dig his veiny shaft, er neck.

Next week is another Velshi/Capeheart/Moyelehidin(?) week. Will they venture to feature the anti-Israel, Anti Hamas Hasan Show?

And Velshi in for Lawrence...🤢🤢🤬

Velshi is looking chipmunk in the face.

Palestinian fressing?

A documentary on women and their periods?

It is something every 9th grade male needs to see.

Symone just sais Mew-cellini.

What is Symone’s cup size?

[quote] A documentary on women and their periods?

I was initially a little stunned by Naomi Watts describing her vajayjay as being "closed for business, but open for pleasure". During her period? But then relieved that she's talking about being post-menopausal.

Yes, R248. They will be showing Jill Learns About Periods.

Most men that are with women know enough about it. R49 I doubt they watch MSNBC.

That was for R249. More coffee please!

Alex Wagner drinks the good tequila.

So much Jen Psaki this past week. It just feels right.

I like Jen.

Mehdi Hasan's theme music sounds like something you'd hear in a gay dance club.

Mika will be mourning Rosalynn big time tomorrow morning, since her father worked in the Carter administration.

I look forward to it. Mika in the Mourning.

When Joe retires one day and Willie Geist takes over the show will the name change to Morning Willie?

Madddoow!

Cue the second string for the next ten days.

Alicia Menendez, unlike the missing Minihaha Wallace for whom she's filling in, is the consummate professional. Not once have I hurled my shoe at the screen in response to inappropriate peals of laughter.

Make the four o'clock anchor desk Alicia's.

^Wait! What?! Now there's a sidebar reading "Coming Up: Nicolle Joins Us."

Where's my shoe?

Nicolle had a baby

Well shut my mouth!

Mike Schmidt is a Daddy.

Congratulations Mike and Nicolle.

Nicolle said she is taking a couple of months off to be with the new baby.

Pretty baby.

Isabella Sloan Schmidt looks just like her father.

Did they adopt? I had no clue she was pregnant.

Nicolle is 51!

birth by surrogate

Yeayh, yeah, we know what Rob Reiner's done.

[quote] Nicolle is 51!

Good Lord Nicolle will be 69 years old when that daughter turns 18.

Mike will be 58 then.

I swear she said she's taking "months" off.

[quote] I swear she said she's taking "months" off.

She did, I rewound to make sure I heard her correctly, well she said a couple of months off.

[quote] I rewound to make sure I heard her correctly

During which program was this announced?

I need to watch that MSNBC special on women's plumbing. Can they still harvest eggs from a menopausal woman?

Dead Line White House at about the 5:45 hour Eastern Time.

Lovingly named Isabella - so they can already start referring to her as Izzy.?

Did Nicolle Wallace freeze her eggs or do IVF?

Nicolle Wallace host of Deadline White House calls in to share the news that her family welcomed Isabella Sloane Schmidt into the world

Those of you who didn't watch it happen live can watch it here.

She might have been doing egg harvesting during that year when she completely neglected her hair.

Is this the first time she's ever publicly acknowledged being married to Mike Schmidt?

[quote] Is this the first time she's ever publicly acknowledged being married to Mike Schmidt?

No Nicolle has acknowledged Mike Schmidt as her husband a couple of times on the show, but then the next time he will be on she acts like he is just another guest.

Was the egg hers?

She said she wasn't pregnant.

Did they rent an incubator?

Yes, she said MONTHS.

I predict she is coming back for the actual bloody 2024 Campaigns in March.

Do they still care about sweeps? If so, maybe she'll be back in February.

She didn’t name her Whoopi?

r290,

I wonder what kind of a father Mike Schmidt is/will be. He doesn't exactly seem to be the warm, loving, nurturing type.

She will be Daddy's girl, I have no doubt.

Will Alicia be replacing Nicolle in her absence? Or will Jen Psaki?

I'm fine either way.

Jen = Eve?

God bless Lawrence.

Team Alicia.

They should give it to Alicia.

No shade to Jen, but Menendez has put her time in on the weekends. Move her up. I too appreciated her calm demeanor with the same usual suspects on DLWH.

Where's the Ratings troll? How's Jen pulling in? Compared to say Symone, Alex Wagner, Joy Reid, etc.

Excited to see Joy talking about her upcoming book about Medgar Evers. Glad to see she's doing a book tour for it.

Does Joy mention her past homophobia on her book tour? That will drive up sales.

You white gays will never leave that woman alone about some supposed history of homophobia, will you? A woman who is wholly supportive of her lesbian daughter and who constantly has members of the LGBTQ community on her show.

Good god, the support for marginal candidate and Black gay Nelson Kenyatta is repellant.

The same goes for nondisclosing Senate Candidate, Mandela Barnes. When you have a wacky, old, white MAGAt, you have to run a sane, old white dude. It is the Biden Rule. No wonder, Cray-Cray Ron Johnson was reelected. Needed s solid, OLD, WHITE person. Hell, that newly elected Wisconsin State Supreme Court Justice Protasiewicz could send Moscow Ronnie to his retirement dacha in Putinberg. I hope she challenges him.

Joy had a couple of cameo spots in Red, White, and Royal Blue. Just saying...

R301, many of us are men of color, oncluding me. We're not afraid to call out homophobes.

Mika said this morning that Nicolle Wallace had a baby. Adopted, right?

R292, Her former husband, Mark Wallace, was quite dishy.

[quote]many of us are men of color, oncluding me

Until you learn how to spell, I will take anything you say with a grain of salt.

^ This idiot doesn't realize that the i and o keys are right next to each other and can be accidentally pressed.

Here's more food for thought for the idiots like R308 who keep defending Joy.

Yawn, r310.

[quote]^ This idiot

That’s rich, coming from a moronic asshole who can’t spell.

[quote]accidentally pressed.

Sure, Jan.

R310, your link is paywalled, but I agree with R311.

Clint Watts is looking so hot right now, on with Katy Tur. His beard and new eyeglasses really turn me on.

Oh, is he talking about the mysterious crash at the Canadian border??

[quote] This idiot doesn't realize that the i and o keys are right next to each other

I'm not sure how, but Grammarly inserted itself into my DL text entry. Frequently a little annoying, but also picks up on stuff like this.

I believe people, including Joy, can change and evolve - and it's to my own benefit to give them 2nd and even 3rd chances.

After a few weeks with the kid, I'll bet Nicolle will be aching to get back hosting from her home studio, if not for the full show, at least making appearances. As with Schmidt, even if he's officially taking parental leave, you know he's going to continue working.

PRIMARY the LAME FRAUD SQUAD.

You mean Jordan, Boebert and Greene?

Patience.

Watching the Rachel Maddow/Chris Hayes special as I type. Chris is looking nice and thicc walking around onstage with his smart phone jammed into his front pocket.

I thought I heard that Chris was something like 6'5" but when Rachel was standing next to him, she was only a few inches shorter. Is she very tall? She is wearing some thick heels on her boots.

R321 Rachel is 5'11 or 6'0

Chris Hayes always has bloat face.

So this is basically just Rachel reading us a book? Pass.

Chris’s crotch/bulge is looking nice.

R321 Chris Hayes is 6'0 even.

Good discussion.

R320 Belies the troll(s) here who always attempt to stir up some bad-blood feud between the two.

Say what, r328? Chris totally has a crush on Rachel.

[quote] Chris’s crotch/bulge is looking nice.

It appears to be obscured in part by his gut.

Not fat shaming. I enjoy suckling in the shade of a hairy paunch.

Yeah, Chris must keep his suit coat buttoned when he's normally at his desk because the unopened jacket tonight really revealed a seriously big gut. Which I doubt is hairy at all. Just a guess, but I don't think he has much body hair.

Judging by his crotch, it looks like he has huge balls.

Katie Phang is the queen of "I appreciate you." Ugh.

Chris Hayes is a Chunky Boy.

R334, He’s also extremely fugly.

David Noriega is 🔥

I like Chris’s big blue owl eyes.

Chris Hayes seems to work out a lot, so he must eat a ton of carbs and booze and junk food to maintain that gut and bloated appearance.

Ali Velshi is married to a Jewish lady, but is Anti-Israel.

April Ryan citing polls, like all the clickbait journalists.

Chris’s tummy is pleasantly hairy.

That pic was from a few years back. He’s the rare type who was in better shape during the pandemic.

OOOOOH, I am very pleasantly corrected! Thank you, r341.

Yes, thank you. I could definitely work with that.

I think Rachel got Chris the gig at MSNBC, right? Chris pulls no punches, and he's excitable. Over Thanksgiving I saw a friend who is media savvy saying after Jan 1, Biden is going to get negative media coverage that will gradually cause him to drop out of the race and Newsom become the obvious heir apparent. Whether Harris can stay on the ticket - 2 California liberal dems - is a legal issue(?) he claims could stick us with Stacy Abrams, and sorry she's damaged goods I just can't see that. My friend has worked for a former Ohio governor (Dem) and he would personally love to see Hillary(!) back in the discussion, but knows that would be posion.

[quote]Biden is going to get negative media coverage that will gradually cause him to drop out of the race

Naaawww. Biden is going to wait till the campaigns are active after both conventions. THEN Dark Brandon id going to campaign against the rapist.

Brandon who??

Are you headless? Dark Brandon.

R341, Dreadfully unattractive, seriously.

Newsom is never going to be the nominee. Whitmer, Bashear, or Shapiro have far better chances of winning.

Mehdi Hasan is a Justice Democrat.

He should just run the campaigns for the Lame Fraud Squad.

Time for Rashida to cut Mehdi loose.

He is a liability to MSNBC.

R349 or Wes Moore. As with Obama, the naysayers will be, "It's too early". I'm not a Newsom hater, just don't see him getting the independent and POC votes.

Interesting Mehdi is not on tonight.

Interesting Ayman is on all the shows talking about the Middle East, not Hasan.

2028 Harris/Buttigieg

2032 Harris/Buttigieg

R339, Beshear should run in 2028. He was just re-elected.

LOL Harris as lead on the ticket will NEVER happen. Her negatives are worse than Biden's. It will be Newsom. WHY do you think HE's debating DeSantis? You loons don't see how this is to play out.

Santos: You're not getting rid of this "It Girl" that easily.

R356, check back in 4 years.

George Santos spill the 🫖

Want to know who is cheating on who with whom!!!!

Sweet Jesus, new daddy Schmidt is on MJ in a white shirt and tie!

Nicolle, get him some collar stays for those curled collar points. Nice knot, though.

Mike broke Paternity Leave already!

He doesn’t have any other kids, probably had no idea what a screaming baby is like.

Ali Velshi is filling in for Nicolle Mondays & Tuesdays.

I loved that Lemire made a hurried reference to the baby, but basically congratulated Nicolle. Mika chimed in with Aww, Isabella! But Mike didn't seem to acknowledged it. Glad no one asked him if he was sleeping well these days.

Aren't Mike and Nicolle still keeping both of their original residences? Mike continued to appear remotely from his attic room with all the bare shelves behind him long after the marriage. Maybe that will change now that there is a baby but maybe not if he needs a sanctuary to get away, I doubt he wants to do remotes with a screaming baby in the background.

Think Nicolle said they are staying at the NYC apartment now since her apartment was on the Thanksgiving Parade route. Also has a Connecticut house she used to share w/ the ex-husband.

R354 I'm all for that. If they won, it would be fun to see the GOP's heads explode.

Mike Schmidt was the proud, beaming, personable papa telling Ali about Baby Izzy this afternoon. awwwww🥰

Izzy...sounds like a skank who'd knock your mascara brush in the sink.

The name Izzy makes me think of this cunt…

CNN's former business correspondent Christine Romans is now at NBC/MSNBC. I have always just loved her, glad to have her at NBC/MSNBC. Horrible picture of her, she looks better than that.

I wonder if Joe S will ask Christine if the carpet matches the face?

Who is this BITCH?

I am Ali Velshi’s only TV WIFE !!!!

[quote]she looks better than that

One would hope.

Stephanie Rhule, you were still at Deutsche Bank processing Donald's fake loan application when I was Ali's first TV Wife.

They found out that they can't run Mendez into the dirt.

I can skip DW Mondays and Tuesdays as long as Katie Fang subs for Melber.

Surprised that Rashida hasn't had Snoop Dawgg sub for Melber.

JOY, girl what is that on your head?

[quote]CNN's former business correspondent Christine Romans is now at NBC/MSNBC. I have always just loved her, glad to have her at NBC/MSNBC. Horrible picture of her, she looks better than that.

She used to host the 5am hour along with Laura Jarrett, competing with Jonathan Lemire. Interesting that they’re all at MSNBC now.

Kasie Hunt now hosts that hour at CNN, she previously hosted it on MSNBC prior to Lemire.

JOY, girl OMG those BROWS

So Christine Romans was brought over to be NBC News Senior Business Correspondent. Stephanie Ruhle, you in danger gurl.

Joy's a blinker.

Mr. Nicolle Wallace is all over MSNBC today.

Yes he was all over the airwaves today, R382, and with good cause.

Mike Schmidt and his NYT colleagues published a major investigative article this weekend exposing donald's flagrant misuse of the presidential pardon power.

Mike Schmidt now has another mouth to feed, plus a nanny to pay for in the future, private school and college, he needs all the work he can get, plus I am sure he is already tired of a crying baby.

Georgia Supreme Court blocks law that could lead to the ouster of Fani.

Plus Nicolle can afford childcare, but can Michael?

Watch it Stephanie Rhule…Symone is coming for that CHAIR!

EUGENE D. is a CHUNKY BOY!

[quote] Watch it Stephanie Rhule…Symone is coming for that CHAIR!

I hope it's a very sturdy chair!

Eugene looks like shit. I hope he’s ok, that everything at home is ok.

In Eugene’s case, some people look better on zoom than in person.

I suspect Mike makes a pretty good salary at the NYT.

Mike Schmidt does not make MSNBC Anchor $$$.

Stephanie Rhule is on vacation again and then probably for the December holidays. No one at MSNBC takes off more than this girl. She barely works, give Symone or Ayman the 11th Hour for people who would actually do the job.

Are you all suggesting that there;s something wrong with the wife out-earning the husband?

[quote]Stephanie Rhule is on vacation again and then probably for the December holidays. No one at MSNBC takes off more than this girl

Hold my beer.

Isabella is a terrible name. You gotta think of the nicknames people: Izzy, Bella, just yuck.

Nicolle has already called her daughter Izzy. Apparently they like it.

Nicolle wanted to call her daughter Ka’zizzy Izzy, but Mike wouldn’t let her

[quote] I suspect Mike makes a pretty good salary at the NYT

I couldn't make out exactly what Jen was saying by way of a compliment to Mike on her show, but it sure sounded like - when people in Washington see a call from Mike Schmidt come up on their phone, they start shaking in their boots.

He demurred

.

I want to know if Izzy is a Nicolle egg baby and they rented a womb.

Alex Wagner is a Justice Democrat.

I no longer watch her. Her “coverage” of Hamas’ attack on Israel was a bridge too far.

What's a justice Dem?

So happy to see Alicia back in for Nicolle!

Mara Gay is so pretty! She finally seems to be over her long bout with Covid.

It appears that Alicia is subbing for Nicolle for the duration of her maternity leave, but Rashida couldn't run her ragged seven days a week with American Voices on Saturday and Sunday. So for the duration, we have Velshi on Monday and Tuesday on Deadline White House. Pity Katie Fang is not an option. Plus, with all the Holiday vacations coming up, get used to seeing SYMONE!

MSNBC is going to be a shitshow until after Kwanzaa.

STEPHANIE RHULE fucking rocks!

I was hoping Heilemann would be subbing for Nicole.

Alicia said today that Nicolle will be back next Tuesday.

Nicolle is already leaving the baby?

I would love to see Mike Schmidt sub for Nicolle even if just for one day.

The other day my sister and I were discussing Jen Psaki's show, and we're both mystified by all the "Oh, she's so great; she'll be the new Rachel!" drumbeat.

She's a lovely young woman and we generally like her POV, but she's as interesting to watch as old pre-reno drywall. And we're not even the types who watch news/analysis/commentary for its entertainment value. Her jokes are corny, and there's nothing particularly incisive about her takes.

Aside from her large number of well-placed contacts, what exactly is so fresh about her?

r413 = Dee Dee Myers

Huh, R414?

What's Clinton's former PS to do with Jen Psaki? Haven't even heard her name in 20 years.

Same job, different outcomes?

An accurate comparison to Jen Psaki and what makes Jen superior?

Experience?

Are you a critical thinker, r413?

.

r414

Huh?

I think the execs are trying to find a viable replacement for Rachel. Which is impossible. No one can replace Rachel

They’ll need to find a brilliant newcomer that shines from a fresh perspective

Rachel needs to be moved to Two Hours on Sunday night opposite 60 Minutes.

[quote] Rachel needs to be moved to Two Hours on Sunday night opposite 60 Minutes.

Rachel could do two hours on Monday since Chris Hayes now has Mondays off, she could go from 8-10 PM

I am warming to Alex Wagner. She is well informed and shows up. Rachel's meandering Mondays lose me within 5 minutes of watching her. Get to the fucking point! I guess next year she'll be back in a big way for the primaries, conventions, etc.

[quote]Rachel's meandering Mondays lose me within 5 minutes of watching her. Get to the fucking point!

She doesn't meander, r420. She makes things extra-clear for those who may not be as up on things as you are. Those are the people she needs to reach.

Alex and Ari are having a tad too much fun this evening. The MSNBC holiday party could be verrry interesting.

Nicolle has obviously had enough of being home with a baby. A 51 year old woman is too old to be dealing with a newborn 24/7. Menopause happens for a reason.

Swallwell was looking tasty on Joy. His hands looked massive next to hers, too.

[quote]Alicia said today that Nicolle will be back next Tuesday.

Nicolle will interrupt her parental leave for one night only on Tuesday for a special assignment: the Liz Cheney interview.

I love how Ayman wears a tie on other people’s shows but never on his own. He’s the sexiest Muslim at MSNBC.

Ayman is a sexy gentleman and scholar; the guest who always brings his best.

Ayman hit me in the head with a fondue pot.

R420 And Trump's trials. As I've said before, I like the evening panels which she leads.

R423 Caring for a baby is a full time job in itself and she's not a young woman who can run around all day and not get exhausted. I don't know what she was thinking.

Nicole probably has a day and night nanny. Maybe two for each shift.

Plus housekeeping/mgmt, food prep/shopping done, and a nanny dedicated specifically for her older kid

She ain’t doing any of the heavy lifting

When Nicolle's kid is 16, she'll be 67. I can see it now - she goes to a school function and the other mothers ask her Are you the grandmother?

KISSINGER DEAD???!!!

Yep, r433...still dead.

The Hand-off from Chris tonight occured after Chris had a contentious interview from an IDF spokes woman. Was Chris sent screaming from the studio?

Alex was a trooper as the michegas went down off screen and ended with a sweet side eye. On the replay, they cut to the side eye.

Chris Hayes is a horrible interviewer and can’t ask the hard questions.

[quote] She doesn't meander

My only issue with Rachel's style and delivery, is this thing she always does mid-sentence, - "eh eh" - as if struggling for the right way to express something. Frustrated with her own ability to phrase it best. When it's obvious she knows exactly what she's saying, and where she's going.

Totally performative. Not convincing and just unnecessary.

Alex Wagner self sabotages with her Asian-American Ivy League Lockjaw vocal fry. Hate it.

Chris Hayes’ narcissism will not allow him to let others speak. He thinks he’s always the smartest one in the room (unless it’s Rachel). It was good to see someone else (especially a woman) take him on. The blind loyalty to Hamas is breathtaking, even @ MSNBC.

Rachel spends a lot of time “explaining” things to the audience that are already widely known and mostly common sense. She uses a lot of words and speaks performatively, but basically says nothing new.

Rachel is a comparative historian.

Chris Hayes is a Bernie Bro therefore he loves the Pro-Hamas Fraud Squad.

He landed an interview with that slob Rashida Tlaib & didn’t even push back on her BONKERS answers.

I always love how Rachel will spend a half hour introducing a guest (with lots of her own opinions) and then ask the guest if she got everything right. The guest ALWAYS agrees. It would be fun if just once the guest demurred.

Well damn! MSNBC said fuck Medhi’s “anti-semitic” ass!

The best is when breaking news occurs during Rachel’s scheduled show and she acts irritated and rants the whole time about having to “throw out” her show.

MEHDI is losing his show!!!!!!

I'm happy we're getting more of hot daddy Michael Steele. I wish he had a weekday (or nightly) show.

Yasmin deserves better, give her one of Chris Jansing’s hours.

YES 🙌

Rachel knows her audience is mostly older people who have either forgotten historical events or are from some ignorant flyover state where they were never taught those events in school. These people were taught: go to school, get out of school, get a job, work till you die to earn your keep. What's going on in the rest of the world has nothing to do with you.

So when Rachel starts talking about past events, she is either reminding these people or teaching them something they never knew in the first place. "This thing happened a long time ago and we have this thing happening now. They're the same. This isn't new. It's happened before." She knows how to break it down in simple terms and make it interesting so her audience can understand and know. (So does Kornacki for that matter, though he sometimes muddles it with unconnected facts.) That's why Rachel has such a huge following. Remember the old lady who lost her shit when Rachel wasn't on?

Rachel needs one of these.

Mehdi is now out, do JOY next.

^Joy stays, you racist piece of shit fuck.

Keep your eye on the fucking ball-

JOY REID hates the GAYS & JEWS.

If you go PRO-HAMAS, Rashida will cancel you.

Joy has a gay daughter and consistently has LGBTQ people on her show, championing the cause and speaking up for the rights of the community. Nevermind the fact that she is highly intelligent and keeps it 100 on all things Trump and MAGA without the tongue-biting that plagues some of her colleagues. Anyone who wants to see her go based off of some decade-old rumor about something she "supposedly" said against the gays is just a racist in sheep's clothing.

A day ago, I watched CNN’s Jake Tapper diss MSNBC in a discussion about Trump, if he is elected in ‘24, he’ll take revenge on certain media. Tapper stated he didn’t like MSNBC, indicating their reporting is biased.

Tapper the yapper is opinionated as any broadcaster. He may be a Republican. He talks like it.

I think Tapper IS a ReTHUGlican. It just took Chris Licht to bring it to the forefront.

[quote] Rachel knows her audience is mostly older people who have either forgotten historical events or are from some ignorant flyover state where they were never taught those events in school.

If you seriously believe this is Rachel's prime demographic you must be from Mars.

Mehdi is the odd man out in a uniquely Muslim male heavy network.

He is a better guest.

R459 Agree.

Intelligent? Perhaps, R456, but to declare Joy Ann Reid "highly" intelligent stretches credulity. A ridiculous caricature whose very appearance is offensive to Black women's dignity, she is little more than a charlatan.

Iimmigrant Blacks such as Joy Ann consider U.S. Blacks inferior due to our ancestors' enslavement. Colonization doesn't register with these first and second generation hypocrites, and she is their media darling. How will they vote in 2024?

^Immigrant

R456 Joy may have evolved but she was rightly and truly a troglodyte troller of all things gay. And she went to Harvard so what's her fucking excuse. SHE DIDN'T HAVE AN EXCUSE. It was her true, ugly, pre-evolved mindset. Joy isn't that smart. Her cockamamie lies and evasions were laughable and pathetic. AND SPINELESS.

Mehdi was on the Daily Show last night.

We all know why Joy Reid is still employed at MSNBC.

Joy Reid is HIGHLY intelligent, and much to R466’s (and others’) chagrin, she will continue to be employed by MSNBC because of it. Bitterly holding on to things she allegedly said eons ago, when she clearly does not hold those views, says more about many of you than it does about her. And she’s a much more interesting watch than Nicolle, Ari and Rachel, that’s for damn sure.

Fuck you, R459 and R460 . Who are you to make that judgment? Or are you just judging me in particular? 🤔

R468 Yes.

Who's show, AM or PM do you think is the weakest link? I find Chris Jansing for two hours is too much.

Yasmin and Ayman need to come back to weekdays.

They need to can Tur, and the two god-awfuls; Andrea Mitchell and Jose Diaz-Ballart. Get on it, Rashida!

Could not agree more on all 3, r472!

Replace them with Michael Steele, Alicia Menendez, Jen Psaki or John Heilemann.

You poor, pathetic soul, R467.

Get rid of Chris Hayes.

Aside from Morning Joe, MSNBC steers clear of panel shows. Is there one I'm missing, I don't watch daytime after the 1st hour of MJ? I guess there was Velshi & Rhule at one time.

Seems like a logical alternative to lessen the tedium of mediocre singular hosts.

R475 Let me guess - he's a BONKERS Hamas lover.

MSNBC should revive The Circus for Sunday nights. Especially for the coming year.

Joy is a-ok. I loved the AA Texas sassy House rep she had on the other night. She was funny, cute and sassy. Her take on Rethug House members was spot on.

Michael Steele is one handsome daddy.

Where are all the MSNBC Anchors supporting Mehdi 🧐

Good riddance to that Hamas supporter. Down the toilet he goes.

What's your problem with me R469 ? Still butthurt a year later over what I said about the nut job "My Little Pony" dicktucker with the pink hair who got a woman he had never met fired from her job because what she said on Twitter hurt his mentally ill feewings? Aww!

You feel it necessary to track my posts and come into every thread to pick a fight by criticizing my post? You think you're going to force me to stop posting on DL? BTW, stop agreeing with yourself. You're a typical Loon. (I think you know what deranged capital letter is missing there.) Go whine with your friend Dylan; he found out the hard way just how unpopular his agenda is too this year. This is not going to be a repeat of the Star Trek thread. You're the one who needs to get a new life. Get professional help or die in a grease fire, troll!

[quote]You poor, pathetic soul, [R467].

Says you whenever you cross a mirror.

Where are Mehdi’s supporters at MSNBC?

[quote] Aside from Morning Joe, MSNBC steers clear of panel shows. Seems like a logical alternative to lessen the tedium of mediocre singular hosts.

It's about money. Shows with multiple hosts means paying more money to more talent. However, the new weekend morning show will have multiple hosts with Michael Steele, Symone Sanders, and Alicia Menendez. Not sure what the chemistry among the three of them will be like.

I love when there's a panel but it doesn't need to be composed of MSNBC "hosts" just MSNBC contributors/talking heads and just smart people.

Eugene Daniels and her the sky is falling overly dramatic bullshit about President Biden. Bitch please! 🙄

I wish they would give David Jolly a show. Former FL Republican congressperson that now believes and espouses the only way to fix this mess is to vote for Democrats. His take-downs on the current crop of Republicans are epic.

He is smart, decisive, pulls no punches, and eloquent.

(Doesn't hurt that he's oh so easy on the eyes.)

Can MSNBC snatch this contributor from Lachlan’s Fox?

Peter Baker and his wife Susan Glasser were both on The 11th hour with Stephanie Ruhle last night at 11PM, it was kind of cute, Susan would say something about I agree with the person upstairs and Peter would say something about the his wife down in the living room. I wonder if they have two internet service providers to be able stream two videos out without problems when people often can't stream just one video out of their homes without problems.

Then Peter Baker shows up on Morning Joe at 7AM guessing he doesn't get a good 8 hours of sleep.

Completely agree, R488.

Poor Yasmin.

Lots of secrets at MSNBC.

With Alicia Menendez hosting six hours weekly of Deadline White House until Nicolle returns which is expected to be a couple of months plus her own show, what happens if there is major breaking news with her father. Will some other host break in to carry the breaking news while she just sits there and then ignore the breaking news about her father and carry on with the show, this could get very awkward.

Katy Tur seems mentally unstable.

I believe that Rashida announced that the changes were in anticipation of the 2024 Campaigns and will be instituted the middle of January.

Interesting they squashed Yasmin’s show instead of splitting the time between her & Alex Witt?

Another Middle Eastern face being cancelled….

She’s a Christian who is ethnically Armenian. I haven’t been a fan since she was cunty on air to people who she obviously considered beneath her station.

[quote] I wish they would give David Jolly a show.

I stepped out of the room. I heard a voice. I said, I know that voice. I like that voice. I returned. Ah, that's Mr. crisp-white-shirt David Jolly.

Give that man a show.

[quote]She’s a Christian who is ethnically Armenian.

Her parents are Iranian Muslim immigrants. She was born in the US and may or may not be a Christian.

Isn’t it MSNBC policy to be cunty to those who are deemed less-than?

Thats what my new-hire booklet said!

Remember when Lawrence went off to his staff and they secretly taped him.

This is sort of black and white as they say.

Who rules MSNBC— Joe Scarborough, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Lawrence O’Donnell.

That group could make a statement and Mehdi/Yasmin would have their shows back in an instant.

Question is why aren’t the powerful anchors supporting them?

R503 Their egos.

Maddow has never taken an honest stand about the diversity staffing driven decisions at MSNBC. The hundreds of times she chose to play nice with the Rev Al "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton turned my stomach.

That Keith Olbermann podcast shares the secrets. Rachel was his protege and she fucked him over.

Maddow ain’t going to risk her 1 day work week for $30 million/year for Mehdi & Yasmin.

POWER is the most addictive drug.

Not for nothing, but neighbors and locals don't think as highly of Maddow as her MSNBC viewers do.

Maddow has never been one to make waves or challenge her bosses. Remember when she insisted she was thrilled that MSNBC had hired Greta Van Susteren? Rachel called Greta "one of the single most decent and genuine and honorable people I have ever come across in this business." (Greta is now at Newsmax.)

I don’t buy the “i’m a fisherman in rural massachusetts story.” Maddow likes to give so she seems normally displaced from her 9-5.

She is more NYC than what she portrays.

R508 Along with being one of the lawyers that worked to get $cientology their tax-exempt status.

I check in to MSNBC to find out if the wars are over - Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine. Nope. (unsure as to who should get top billing.)

Vossoughian is an Armenian name, and she’s no Muslim. There are at least 500,000 ethnic Armenians in Iran.

Yup!!

R512, she identifies her parents as being Muslim in this article.

[quote]Being a minority myself, being Iranian-American and growing up with Muslim parents and being from a small town,

Velshi with that chest hair poking out his top...😍😍😍😍

The Squad is groveling already-

Summer Lee on w/ Velshi probably fighting for her political life.

Now the Squad socialists won’t condemn the rape of Israeli women and girls.

They are fucking disgusting, vote these assholes out!

Summer Lee is in her first term and should be primaried.

R503: I think Andrea Mitchell wields more power than we know.

Does Jen Psaki’s carpet match the drapes?

Banner: "TRUMP RECIEVES OVERWHELMING SUPPORT AT IOWA STOP" (2:35pm)

Oh dear, MSNBC

Does Jen Psaki act out news reading?

She is a Pat Oliphant Dance to Politics.

She never twists in midair.

[quote] Does Jen Psaki’s carpet match the drapes?

Her frequently untouched-up roots certainly don't.

Her untouched-up roots probably do match.

Based on her complexion, aside from the dark eyes, I'm guessing at a younger stage she probably was a natural ginger. Trying to find a photo of her pregnant, wherein most women forgo the usual hair coloring/lightening routine.

Mehdi is such an antisemite he got downgraded to fill-in host.

Must do wonders to his out of control ego. These socialists think they are untouchable.

Nicolle Wallace will be there tomorrow to interview Liz Cheney. Why? Rachel is interviewing her tonight.

With the publication of her book, Liz Cheney is this week's very busy media darling.

Always remember: "He's making a list and checking it twice, gotta find out who's naughty or nice -- to his daughter, Liz."

I can't wait to learn what Dick Cheney & Co. has in store for donald; a bull elephant never forgets! Heh heh.

Hadn't thought of that at all, R528. I forgot about Dick Cheney, somehow. I wonder what he [bold]does[/bold/] have planned? What could he possibly do that he hasn't been able to do thus far?

So, will Rachel spend 45 minutes introducing Liz tonight and then ask her if she got everything right in the remaining 15 minutes?

Liz is all-business. I hope she tells Rachel to get to the fucking point.

[quote]What could he possibly do that he hasn't been able to do thus far?

Who knows what lurks in the heart of Dick Cheney, R529?

I'm really into Ali Velshi's baby blue socks tonight.

On Chris Jansing a couple of hours ago, the chyron said, "Trump, Biden point fingers, accusing each other of being a threat to democracy."

Bothsiding.

Supposedly the first time Rachel has talked to Liz Cheney, but I remember her interviewing her sister Mary, who is lesbian. It was a somewhat icy and snide interchange.

[quote] What could he possibly do that he hasn't been able to do thus far?

R528 Dick Cheney could take Trump hunting.

Nicolle will leave Baby Izzy for Liz Cheney 🙄

[quote]Nicolle will leave Baby Izzy for Liz Cheney 🙄

She'll do anything for a fellow Republican.

Suddenly my TV remote is telling me it doesn't recognize MSNBC when I speak to it. But if I click in the channel 603 (I have Fios/Verizon) it comes on.

Wtf?

Jen Psaki is a pleather dominatrix.

What the fuck is that outfit Jen is wearing? Looks like she got dressed in a meat packing plant.

R541 We need a link.

[R541] We need a link.

R543 Hideous.

Rachel is going on and on about how much she, and her dad, hate the Cheney's.

Liz, did I get that right?

Well R545 I have to make it all about me or it isn't any fun for me. I don't do this just for the $24 million per year, it has to be fun also.

Has Jen been shopping the bins of 7-Eleven's "Joy Ann Reid Fashion Collection?"

Is Liz stuck in traffic?

Well now we see why Nicolle needs to interview Liz tomorrow, so we can get Liz answering some questions.

Maddow yakked for 25 minutes. Get RID of her, she's a waste. She's supposed to be a journalist, yet she opines on the sins of Cheney and how that makes HER feel. Just fucking get to the point.

That might just be the longest Maddow has ever talked without promoting one of her books or podcasts.

Jen will be on w/ Lawrence tonight.

Wonder if the pleather will make an appearance?

I'll have you know that's vegan leather, R552!

I wonder if she got the matching hood and horsetail fly whisk?

R539 Speak a little louder, that's what I do.

I don't agree with many of Liz Cheney's policies but I must admit she does deserve admiration for having brass ones. She's speaking out and doing the right thing.

If Liz Cheney knew about all the plans Trump and the congressional Republican had to overturn the election before it happened, which she said she did and it sounds like all she did was go to the House of Representative Parliamentarian why didn't she do more? She should have been screaming to anyone who would listen.

It would be great TV if Liz takes up Rachel's invitation and comes back to discuss all those issues they disagree about like abortion rights, gun laws. torture, etc. etc.

Do you think she will?

I doubt it.

Curious, I don't see many regular MSNBC viewers buying Liz's book, I might if it ends up in the Dollar Tree $1.25 book bin, but no way am I going to buy it now. Any of you planning on buying it?

Raise your hand if it was the first time you noticed Rachel's father's class ring on her finger!

r560, why would I buy Rachel's book when I just heard Rachel reading me all the juicy parts?

ooops, I mean Liz's book ^^^^^^^^^

Joy noted earlier on her show that Liz, on some program this morning, refused to say whether or not she would vote for Biden over Trump. That sort of tells you all you need to know right there.

Liz Cheney says she regrets voting for Trump in 2020, assuming Liz still votes in Wyoming it really doesn't matter who she votes for. Now if she votes in Virginia where she has actually lived during her entire congressional terms that might matter.

I don't think Liz could have made it any clearer tonight that her vote wouldn't go to Trump.

Hasn't Trump said Bill Barr should be arrested for saying bad things about him, and Barr still plans on voting for Trump.

Stephanie is wearing one of her Little House on the Prairie meets NYC dresses. I love her, but it’s hideous. Looks like she just got some Botox as well. I can barely see her eyes.

I agree we need Ayman’s tight pants and tree trunk thighs Mon-Fri.

^Yes, we most certainly do!

[quote] I wonder if she got the matching hood and horsetail fly whisk?

The color of that pleather outfit does look like it would be attracting flies.

As Wanda Sykes has pointed out, Liz Cheney kind of does have great hair.

His seam is about to burst at R570!

I honestly didn't recognize Liz Cheney in that early video (2010?) Rachel showed of her approaching Liz. But Liz didn't seem rude to her back then, more like she simply didn't recognize who Rachel was.

Ayman is a Muslim. Ayman may use your flattery to advance his career but at the end of the day…he is not your friend.

Did any catch who Nicolle Wallace said she had jury duty with? I couldn't understand what she said.

ManyHaHa Wallace is back, laughing her way through John and Claire's discussion of the dangers the trump trial jurors could face. Hilarious!

I hope Liz Cheney takes advantage of any opportunity to ask Nicolle "What the phuck is so damned funny?"

Geesh R577, we get it you don't like Nicolle Wallace, she laughs are inappropriate times, some people stutter, some people constantly say uh every few words, Joe Scarborough repeats small words multiple times for some reason. None of these people are going to change these habits. You can either adjust or stop watching them, they are not going to change.

So is Nicolle going to take off for a few months now?

I haven't seen a thread here on Liz Cheney so I'll leave this here.

I was not really very knowledgeable of her before Jan. 6, but I do greatly admire her for taking a brave stand against Trump and speaking out.

But after watching her in Rachel's and Nicolle's interviews and hearing how intelligent and clear-sighted she apparently is, I just can't imagine how she got through those trials working so closely with Dem colleagues she says she respects and admires, like Jamie Raskin, Zoe Lofgren and Nancy Pelosi, and STILL remain a Republican. How at least some of their liberal views could have not rubbed off on her. I know....I'm naive.

You are. She said here that she supported most of Trump's issues/causes. If Trump disappears, she'll go on opposing gun control, abortion rights, lower taxes, etc. Not sure how she is on LGBTQ rights, given her sister.

[quote] So, will Rachel spend 45 minutes introducing Liz tonight and then ask her if she got everything right in the remaining 15 minutes?

Essentially, that is what happened.

It needed to have been 3 minute's to introduce Liz; 45+ minutes conducting the interview. Who cares when Liz spoke in passing to Rachael at a social gathering many years back.

Nicolle's interview today was much better than Rachel's.

And on a side note: have we determined whether Nicolle used a surrogate or not? Anybody know?

She was NOT pregnant.

The question is did she use a harvested egg.

No one has posted part 52 yet? Hmmm, seems DL is slacking...

Get right on it. Thank you for the alert

When we hit 600 please move to Part 52

I forgot that Nicolle was guesting on her own show today and picked up the last 15 before Ari.

This is the reason, besides the Morning Joe Channel, that Peacock is a bargain at $5 a month.

I will watch Nic tomorrow in her entirety with Liz.

Wait, when was Nicolle on jury duty? I thought she’s been out because of the new baby.

Did Mike “watch” Izzy while Nicolle was at work today?

[quote] Wait, when was Nicolle on jury duty? I thought she’s been out because of the new baby.

They were talking about jury duty today on DeadLine White House because apparently the jury questionnaires were received today by some DC residents for what they believe is the Trump trial because the dates matched up and the questionnaires asked that you be available for 3 months. Nicolle said something about she got called for jury duty and didn't get out of it. John Heilemann told that all you have to do is say you are a journalist and they will dismiss you. Nicolle said she did and then said someone else got called at the same time and they went together but I didn't catch the name, closed captioning didn't either. I listened to it again and I think she said Phil Griffin Former president of MSNBC, but Heilemann and Claire were both talking at the same time as Nicolle and it was really hard to hear.

Yes Nicolle is out now because of the baby, this happened a long time ago before Rashida Jones became MSNBC President.

[quote] Did Mike “watch” Izzy while Nicolle was at work today?

Her son Liam is ten years old, about time he started contributing, he can baby sit.

She probably got into the MSNBC car with her nanny, and the nanny watched Izzy in Nic's office for the two hours.

It's not like Nic was wearing a breast pump.

Liz Cheney was on Morning Joe this morning, but I didn't hear a single other host inform their viewers that Liz was going to be on Morning Joe like I did with her being on Rachel and Nicolle. Wonder why.

Joe announced it at the end of his Monday show.

Any word on whether Cheney is making the rounds on right-wing outlets? Is she still welcome on Fox News?

That's the audience that really needs to hear what she has to say.

[quote] Any word on whether Cheney is making the rounds on right-wing outlets? Is she still welcome on Fox News?

I'm sure the right-wing outlets have no interest in giving her airtime or promoting her book. Their viewers wouldn't even give her a chance if she did appear. And I'll bet all the people buying her book are Democrats and never-Trumper Republicans who already know that Trump is a danger to democracy. Cheney is preaching to the choir. I don't know if there's any way to change the minds of the MAGA crowd. Maybe, though, her book can help fire up Democrats and never-Trumpers so they turn out to vote instead of staying home.

R592, thank you.

And we move to part 52
