MSNBC - Part 54

And please do not post until 53 hits 600

Part 53 is full and closed now.

[quote] Just love Lisa Reuben she needs

It's Lisa Rubin.

Why is Ari wasting valuable airtime on MAGAtt Kenneth Cheseboro's MAGAttorney?

Sic him, Maya!

I love listening to Lisa Rubin. She’s a find.

Joy's makeup is clownish, which insults clowns.

Good grief, Joy. Did you apply your makeup with a shovel in the dark?!

P.S. Your attempts to contour your nose do anything but, just serve to accentuate it. Celebrate your noble feature.

Bring Nicolle Wallace back!!!

I don't know what to think any more.......

Joy’s show always makes me optimistic. Loved her coverage of the Fani case, and Katie Phang was spot on with her comments.

Nicole is supposed to be back next month. I think Alicia Menendez is doing a fantastic job. She is whip smart, engaging with her guests, and I see that they like her.

I will really like Alicia Menendez being on Saturday and Sunday mornings, because I don't watch TV then.

“I will really like….”, R12? Alicia has been doing her Saturday and Sunday morning show for a few weeks now. Do keep up, and take some grammar lessons.

Well I don't watch TV then as I stated. I miss Nicolle.

Give busy mother Nicolle Alicia's weekend shows, allowing ManyHaHa more time at home with newborn daughter and preteen son. I actually look forward to "Deadline White House" the weeks when Alicia is host.

Team Alicia!

Unfortunately did Nicolle take too much time off for us to miss her?

WTH is going on with Joy Reid ? Does her make-up artist hate her ? That ill-fitting bright yellow wig, the yellow eye shadow and yellow make-up on her face, and those ruby red lips ?

She is a golden bronze goddess.

Nic returns next month?

R4, did Ari establish if he was in any way being paid by Trump currently?

Mika really took Alexei's murder very hard. She was on the verge of tears when reporting, and all choked up. I never saw her this emotional.

WHET Malcolm Nance?

Chris Jansing loves Trump.

Who does the hair and makeup for MSNBC correspondent Susanne Craig ? She needs to be fired, pronto !

Vaughn Hillyard would suck Trump’s dick.

Where is fucking Maddow when you need that bitch?

R25 - I thought Trump didn't like Hillyard

Katy Tur responded to news of donald's ban and $355 million penalty with an empathic "Is it fair?"

Grrrrr

DOES TONY NOT FUCK KATY TUR ENOUGH?

What happened to this soccer mom?

R22 Malcolm went to fight in Ukraine, I guess he decided that wasn't such a good idea because he didn't stay long.

I saw Peter Strzok on CNN last night. I had never seen Peter there before, I hope MSNBC didn't dump him, I always enjoyed his commentary.

I really like attorney Tristan Snell on MSNBC. He was the lead attorney in the lawsuit against Trump's fradulent Trump University. He's cute / sexy and very smart. Really enjoy when he explains things.

Alex, Rachel and Laurence on tonight at 9:00 to discuss the Trump ruling today.

Michael Cohen coming up on Deadline White House, haven't seen him on MSNBC for a while, I was wondering if he had been banned.

Twitter is roasting Katy Tur for her “Is it fair,” comment.

I would love to see MSNBC hire Michael Cohen to host a show similar to Greg Gutfeld's show on Fox, I think it would be a hit. Now I don't trust Michael Cohen at all, but still I think people would watch it. Maybe just a evening weekend show to start out.

Perry Mason not Ironside, Michael.

[quote]Now I don't trust Michael Cohen at all

He's a public figure now so there's more scrutiny now of his deeds (or misdeeds). He'd be pretty stupid to not stay on the straight and narrow.

He says amusing things about Trump.

Alicia Menendez, that forehead BOTOX!

Does Molly Jong Fast PASS on the makeup & hair MSNBC provides?

Think she is now trolling us now with that dirty look.

MSNBC brass better shit kick Tur off the network. What the hell is wrong with that woman? "Is it fair" comment is unbelievable.

I think she wants to be fired so she can wallow in the victimhood before she moves to Fox.

Trump word salad. Please die, fatty.

Blah...blah...

Trump should just put that statement on a recording and play it every time he loses. He is going to need it a lot.

Damnit Ari, why'd you cut into donald's speech?! I was enjoying his semi-meltdown.

I am sure you could find it on Fox played every hour on the the hour.

R47 It's just the same old shit, lies.

R31, I believe that Mr. Strozk is moving from commentator to plaintiff in his personal actions against Trump's FBI.

I wonder how many times they have done stuff like this?

Trump-aligned super PAC paid Melania Trump $155K in 2021

[quote] It's just the same old shit, lies.

By ignoring donald, we may be normalizing him inadvertently. I'm not saying air his each and every rally in its entirety, but we need to be kept aware of his deteriorating mental condition.

Besides, I want to be eyewitness to his inevitable, rapidly approaching, final breakdown.

It’s the final breakdown! (Casio fanfare)

Well, apparently either Joy Reid or her make-up artist reads the DL - particularly this thread !

This evening she had a better fitting wig on her head, got rid of the yellow eye shadow and make-up on her face, and ditched the Bozo-the-Clown red lipstick. She looked 70% better. If she gets rid of the janky wigs, she'd be improved 100%.

Chris Hayes has been with his wife Kate Shaw since college.

Who is he cheating on her with?

R55 Everyone knows his mistress is Molly Jong-Fast. Who could resist her ?

Chris Hayes just had a Russian journalist who was friends with Navalny on his show. Mikhail Zygar is his name. Guy is as sexy as sexy can be. I was getting an erection just listening to him talk with his Russian accent. More please !

Just researched Zygar and found out he's gay ! He married his actor-boyfriend Jean-Michel Shcherbak in Portugal in 2022. Two gorgeous guys.

Maddow’s haircut!

What about it?

Oh, man!

R59 Short on the sides, but long on top. Makes her look youthful.

She needs the 'broccoli head' haircut, like all the teenage boys have.

WTF is wrong with Katy Tur?

Get rid of the entire afternoon lineup: Andrea Mitchell, Chris Jansing, Katy Tur.

Unwatchable, Access “Journalists.”

They’re all in overdrive this morning on “The Weekend” praising Fani’s embarrassing and disgraceful witness stand performance on Thursday.

Andrea Mitchell, that crepe neck.

Time to retire.

They're all correct, r66.

Thanks for the laugh, R68.

Mike Steele brings up Ukraine and Pramila Jayapal lets the Weekend crew know she's not moving her ass because the Republicans are responsible for the Congress clusterfuck.

I love the guest Anthony Coley. He made me laugh when explained how 'Fani Willis came into the courtroom and had a can of 'whoopass' for everyone.' Imitating Oprah, he said 'You get a can, you get a can, you get a can...'

But they were all correct - despite the 'spectacle' she caused the other day, there's no evidence she or her team should be removed.

r66, They’re all in overdrive this morning on “The Weekend” praising Fani’s embarrassing and disgraceful witness stand performance on Thursday.

Fani gave a defense defeating appearance that totally showed she in no way profited from the relationship, which is apparently no big deal amongst attorneys in Georgia. Her father gave the death blow the next day, showing the Trump Enquirer investigation team were simply looking to dirty her up, and they came off as racist dirt bags. No surprise there.

r66, are you a reflex troll?

Bless your deluded heart, R72.

I would not be sad if Lisa Rubin takes over Ari’s show. I’ve never enjoyed his stupid rap lyrics which are rarely clever, insightful or illuminating. My last straw was when he went on Bill Maher and dismissed the 14th Amendment case as bad politics. Adherence to the Constitution is not optional.

They dragged out Susanne Craig this morning, after having her on most of yesterday and all day last night. She speaks so softly, I can't hear her with the volume turned all the way up. And she looked like she needed a good shampoo and rinse.

The defense presented no evidence of their allegations against Willis. You don’t get a prosecutor removed on the basis of innuendo and speculation.

Remember when Ari was on all the shows for legal matters as the Chief Correspondent.

Now Lisa, Charles, Andrew are the legal eagles everyone wants to have on for their expertise.

Ari Jealous?

r73, that is an ad hominum couched in Southern Speak.

You have proved that your opinions are worthless.

Greasefire!

R78, Dream on, R78.

[quote] Bless your deluded heart, [R72].

R66, R73, R79 must have never heard the term, "Know your audience"

Poor Symone, she looks miserable on that show.

Interesting they elevated Psaki and downgraded Sanders-Townsend.

[quote]Interesting they elevated Psaki and downgraded Sanders-Townsend.

Seems like common sense to me.

R81 She does look miserable. She has that same "why am I here ?" look on her face that Whoopi wears every day on 'The View'. Only difference - Whoopi is getting millions of dollars to be there, whereas Symone certainly isn't.

I've only seen a few minutes of the new "Weekend" show, but when they announced it, I thought that Michael Steele, Alicia Menendez, and Symone Sanders seemed like an odd mix that probably wouldn't have much chemistry.

R83, Whoopi barely contributes to “The View” discussions anymore.

R83, Symone has great difficulty hoisting those massive breasts out of bed so early in the morning.

Don’t be ridiculous. She has a hoist.

Won't NBC's health insurance cover Ozempic for her? She's morbidly obese.

R88, She made a beautiful bride.

R85 I know. I guess she gets paid her (reportedly) $8M per year from ABC to just sit there, look disinterested, and then roll her eyes at the audience, so they can laugh hysterically. She will even admit 'this doesn't interest me at all' when they start talking about something stupid (like 'The Golden Bachelor') and stares off into the distance while the other four discuss.

Whoopi is the new BaBa Wawa.

Don't like he, don't watch

Rosie complained about Whoopi not participating in discussions on “The View” years ago.

R92 Rosie was rather envious of her - she thought when she returned to the show, they would 'alternate' moderating between Rosie and Whoopi each week. Whoopi said 'no way'. They gave in, and let Rosie sit at the end like a lummox. Then she quit mid-season.

Overlooking the dirty aesthetic-

Molly Jong Fast went up against the Obama rich, elite, entitled, white, Pod Save America boys.

Only Chris Hayes & Alex Wagner have those PSA losers on their show, which is all you need to know.

Joy Reid, that hair.

I like Chris Hayes and Alex Wagner so I’m not sure what r95 means.

SMH.

You know why this Sunday afternoon. If not, here's a hint - grinning like a greased hyena and wearing a logo sweatshirt hawking her book.

Tackier than $400 spray-painted hightops.

What an embarrassment.

R94 what happened between MJF and the Pod boys?

Jonathan Capehart and Cicely Tyson's dress designer are gaying it up.

What is on Dasha Burns head?

[quote]Just researched Zygar and found out he's gay ! He married his actor-boyfriend Jean-Michel Shcherbak in Portugal in 2022. Two gorgeous guys.

You're right, R58. Damn, now that's a sex tape I'd gladly pay to see!

I agree that Zygar is very handsome.

Patti Regan's face. Oy. Those cheekbone implants. those rubber fish lips.

The ancient nostrils pinched

Ugh Jonathan Lemire’s Republican talking points.

The reason the media is failing us—the democratic achievements are not grtting out to the masses is because all the media talks about is trump.

Now they are more obsessed with those ugly shoes he is grifting than the actual fraud case.

Maybe Katy Tur will think it’s unfair.

Washington Access Reporters just want the clickbait story that got with Trump.

They got famous off of that shit and now they don’t get the scoops the way they used to.

Jonathan Lemire, Alexi Mccammond are lazy reporters who are crying over access and coverage. STFD.

Everything about Jonathan Lemire turns my stomach.

Love when Joe Scarborough calls Lemire out on the Republican talking points. And Lemire than kisses Joe’s ass.

Samantha Guthrie's book on God falls in the category of "A Tree Died for This." Interesting that she and Mika confessed their preteen shoplifitng.

A Tree died for This?

Meaning a tree was cut down for the paper for this silly book.

Savannah Guthrie seems to be 'the popular morning host' that everyone loves these days, and now she's taking advantage of that status and sharing 'her religious faith' with everyone, starting with this book.

I remember when Kathie Lee Gifford was in that same position 35 years ago, and she was ridiculed in the media for sharing her religious faith with everyone. Let's see if times have changed, and Guthrie gets off easier than KLG ?

Yasmin V. subbing this am and has on the troll Caroline Polisi of “Fani Willis is dead” fame (her quixotic pronouncement 5 minutes after DA Willis took the stand). Please tell me they’re not auditioning this clueless, entitled cunt for more inane appearances or as an MSNBC legal analyst?!?

R113, Wasn’t Savannah nearly blinded in one eye after her kid hit her with something?

[quote]Wasn’t Savannah nearly blinded in one eye after her kid hit her with something?

A fondue pot

The Lemire/McKinnon reparte was disgusting at the end of WTE.

I thought McKinnon left Axios to get away from the GOP talking points. But no, as a Post "reporter" she and Smirky are chewing the same cabbage twice: Biden is old, The democrats hate people who mention Biden is old, the Democrats cannot distance themselves from Biden's age, Biden is old and the Democrats do not like people bringing it up. Were bringing it up because Democrats have to address the issue.

FOR FUCK SAKE give it a rest.

When both Biden and Trump are the official nonretractable nominees of their party, this issue disappears. Both are old, but only Trump is the only Democracy Hating Rapist.

Reporters who cultivate neutrality don't realize that politics is more than a story,

Their fake even-handed and fair reporting skews far right, when Fox Entertainment skews so far right.

Is Alexi becoming MSNBC's Harris Faulner?

Lisa Rubin annoys me... especially so today. Usually she looks like she thinks she is the smartest, most important, insightful correspondent on the screen. Today she looks like all that, but also that she's trying to smell her pussy and is pissed it doesn't stink more.

More Andrew, less Lisa please.

Rubin seems to be auditioning this week. Symone better watch her back.

Ari is discussing Tucker’s testicle tanning theory. I’m intrigued.

The guy on with Ari is mischaracterizing Tucker's past. He was never a neocon, & he was not a supporter of the Iraq War. Now he's a joke.

Alexi Mccammand was engaged to her longtime boyfriend and then left him for one of Biden’s comms ppl.

She also was forced out of Editor In Chief for Teen Vogue for her racists tweets.

Oh Joy Reid, the actress.

Jen Psaki>Chris Hayes

Sorry. I realize this makes no sense, but Oy! Joy! brought this oldie to mind tonight.

Where is the Motown Finishing School, just when we need it most???

Masha Gessen and Paola Ramos are two sides of the same Lesbian.

Do the major network 7 pm news shows ever beat Fox or CNN or MSNBC in the ratings? Where do the majority of Americans watch the evening news these days?

My network news shows air at 6:30 pm EST. I'm on the east coast.

[quote] Where do the majority of Americans watch the evening news these days?

The audience for the network news ratings is still greater than that of Fox.

[quote] Where do the majority of Americans watch the evening news these days?

They don't.

Yes, that’s true, R133, but the great majority who still do consume network news over cable.

Von Hilliard needs to pick a better wiglet and stick with it. This newest incarnation looks like a cheap rug, at least the last one looked real. Come on, Von, we’re rooting for ya!

OMG, She is absolutely not.

Dear Eugene Daniels -

You are a handsome black man, no doubt. There's a sexiness about you. However, can you give up the monochromatic wardrobe from 1999 - 2000 ? And can you get rid of the black nail polish ?

I'd love to see Eugene with a buzzcut. Or a shaved head. And an open shirt collar.

It takes all kinds. I love Eugene's hair. I love his turtlenecks. I love his sports coats. I love the whole look.

I guess I just haven't gotten bored with it yet.

Please, Eugene, don't get the ubiquitous gay haircut. Though, come to think of it, I've yet to see it on a black man.

I love his hair, too. Under his turtleneck and jacket you get the impression he has a hot body. He looks like he stepped out of 2000, though.

What's the the ubiquitous gay haircut ?

[quote]What's the the ubiquitous gay haircut ?

a pixie

Some version of this.

R143

The fade. Shaved sides almost to skin.. Not always high on top. Not the same as high and tight.

I just happened on the picture of this guy - Alex Mohajer - running for the California Senate from Orange County. Even though he's from Orange County, I immediately knew he was gay from the haircut.

I live in a "gay-ish" town; 95% of the men all have the exact same haircut.

And yes, Alex is gorgeous no matter what his hair looks like.

R143

Here's another example. Unfortunately, it's considered a "gay haircut" and is, or is about to become, illegal in Iran because of the connotation.

Ahhhh - thanks ! I like those haircuts, especially if the guy can balance it with stylish facial hair like those two guys above.

Katy Tur is unbearable!

WOW! Alicia Mendez ('Deadline Whitehouse') is wearing the exact same thing which Lisa Rubin wore all day yesterday on the talk shows. Same top. I hope they laundered it before she wore it today.

Ugh Lisa Rubin is a SNOT.

I’ve seen her in East Hampton and NYC. She has no make-up which does that face no favors.

Reminded me of that dork in high school dying to be part of the cool kids crowd.

Heidi Przyblk called Alicia Menendez. She wants her old hair-do back!

I thought that Gov. Kathy Hochul's interview with Lawrence last night was impressive. Never really paid that much attention to her (NJ resident) but she was so smart and articulate and passionate about defending democracy.

I love Lawrence's show. He gives me hope.

Katy, grow your hair back.

Oh enough about Katy's hair. And Joy's hair and makeup.

Get a life, r153.

Katy Tur needs a good fuck.

Thank you, Lawrence.

Something is wrong with Ms. Tur way beyond huh hair. Hard to believe it’s just the kids, or estrangement from her tranny dad. She does not even vaguely resemble the reporter who followed Twitler on the 2016 campaign trail then wrote a good book about the experience.

Where is Chris Hayes this week??

Lawrence vs. DC Press Corp= delicious

Lawrence calling the DC press corp a bunch of racetrack reporters.

Hopefully Jonathan Lemire is watching Lawrence O’Donnell tonight.

R158 - “ Where is Chris Hayes this week??”

Hopefully filing a claim for unemployment. He’s exhausting. Always was, always will be.

I wonder if Lawrence was talking about Bill Clinton fucking over poor women on welfare.

Hopefully Andrea Mitchell/ Chris Jansing/ Katy Tur were watching Lawrence tonight.

“Stop the hammering!”

[quote]Something is wrong with Ms. Tur way beyond huh hair

Yep, I noticed that too. I think her personal life is bleeding into her work. That "is it fair" comment sounds more like it came from something she's going through than anything about Dump. Although it may not be her personal life, could be shitty corporate office politics at work. Or maybe she wants out of that marriage, or having kids not what she thought it would be cracked up to be. I miss the old Katie who was forced to fallow Trump and was a scrappy young journalist on the road instead of the boring soccer mom she has become.

R158 a lot of schools have winter break this week. Hayes is probably somewhere warm and sunny with kids wife and kids.

^ how the hell I ended up with “kids” instead of “his” I’ll never know.

Edit feature! Stat!

Tur was horrible yesterday with the Alabama IVF couple. I'd already accepted that she was a Republican, but I see ehe is also a horrible person.

[quote]Alabama court ruled frozen embryos are children. Experts explain potential impacts to IVF treatment.

I'm paraphrasing, but she asked the couple, who had just that day been denied the ability to have a viable embryo implanted, "Why are you doing this?" Meaning why are you doing IVF. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? Is Tur purposely evil?

I wanted to scream at the TV, "To have a child, bitch, like you have and maybe no longer want."

Tur is GOP by her commentaries.

I can't imagine Katy isn't bitter about getting demoted from that prime hour hosting before Ari to the graveyard known as 3 pm. I guess the shakeup happened when she was on her first pregnancy leave?

Joe's show should be renamed Grumpy Old Men.

They’re clearing grooming Jen to take over someone’s slot.

And a good thing, too. They have so many clunkers.

I like Jen a lot. She is whip smart and knows her stuff. But someone needs to tell her to stop talking over her guests All.The.Time.

I'm starting to think she's now convinced she's the smartest person in the room. I hope her success has not gone to her head.

R175 maybe she’s being mentored by Joey S?

I think with Jen it's that she's just nervous to have a few seconds of empty space and so comes back with a response to her guest before the guest has barely finished talking. It's not rudeness, just fear. She'll get better with all that very quickly.

Chris Jansing just laughed-off this morning's ongoing AT&T outage nightmare. How disappointing! She is usually so sane and levelheaded. We need calm assurance during an emergency, not lighthearted banter.

Looks like I'll be making up with CNN.

It seems the lighthearted banter is ubiquitous across networks and shows.

In my naivete, sometimes I want to scream at the screen "What are you all laughing about?" But I imagine they are all already aware that their hair should be perpetually on fire, and that there is a limit to our collective misery.

I've been told all my life that I should lighten up. Though all the people that told me I was overreacting in 2016 have lately been quiet.

So if Tur is a GOP asskisser does her husband also kiss fascist ass?

Even though they removed the Morning Joe Channel from Peacock, The 1 Hr MJ recap is still better than the entire MSNBC morning program between MJ and DWH.

I watch the MJ recap and the check into to Nicolle/Alicia (@ 4pm ET) to get the first analysis on what happened TODAY. If the first block is Gaza, I move to NBC Now for 20 mins.

MSNBC needs to stream in its entirety on Peacock. I will pay whatever single channel, single user fee cable pays them.

How far to the extreme left do you have to be to think Katy Tard is a Republican, let alone a Trump partisan?! As if she’d be a MSNBC regular if she were.

Not that far. You just have to watch and listen to her.

Sometimes she's not fair.

[quote] As if she’d be a MSNBC regular if she were.

Umm

Good for Joy that her book on Medgar and Myrlie Evers is a #1 NY Time Bestseller. I’ve bought the book and am seeing her on her book tour.

i'm watching fox news and jesse waters is talking about how biden's brother had a diamond from china or something. sounds like the biggest scandal in presidential history.

[quote]biden's brother had a diamond from china

He has something far more treasured.

Again, Lawrence...thank you.

R187, Wrong brother.

Steve Kornacki Has Big Dick Energy

I hear Steve gives amazing head and always swallows.

Kornacki has to strap his long dong to his inner thigh to avoid VPL in those khakis

R184, Joe Scarborough & Michael Steele are clearly no longer republicans. Just as the majority of white working men are no longer Democrats. It’s called the Great Realignment. You really should look into it.

Steele recently considered running for Governor of Maryland as a Republican. It is true that Scarborough left the party, but that was long after he started working for MSNBC. The Great Realignment is indeed a fascinating topic to look into, but completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

[quote] Just as the majority of white working men are no longer Democrats.

That is bullshit as only HS educated have moved to Republican to preserve their white privilege.

White working class men are getting in line for Biden's union jobs.

R195 - I think you mean college educated, not HS.

Joseph Scarborough has said on MJ that he is an Independent now.

On Tur:

A poster upthread reminded me she did used to host the Meet the Press daily hour from time to time and that's when DL all loved her. She got the demotion after her *second* pregnancy leave where she's been bitter ever since. I do think she is Repub also thinking about her time during those days.

They'll let her fossilize in the 3pm hour a lá Andrea Mitchell.

Oh poor Katy Tur.

She is a massive CUNT.

[quote] White working class men are getting in line for Biden's union jobs.

And the hope is that Biden can peel some of them away from Trump, but one must be living under a rock to be unaware that this demographic has been mostly lost to Democrats the last few cycles.

Every Republican may not be dumb, but every dumb person is a Republican.

And this is a [bold]very[/bold] dumb country.

`

Can we have Peter Alexander all the time?

There are dumb Democrats. Sheesh.

It’s not so much that this is an especially dumb country. It’s that this is an especially poorly educated country that allows too much local control over public schools, and has allowed people who don’t want their children to be taught anything they find “offensive” to opt out of public schools entirely into “religious” academies and even home-schooling.

We have an entire section of the country that wants to cling to any justification for slavery rather than confront its past. They even created a religion to defend slavery. And we let them wallow in their own ignorance as some kind of right.

Dumb Democrats aren't a threat; dumb Republicans are.

What was your point, R203?

R202, I agree. Peter has that square-jawed handsomeness and drips with BDF.

[R195] - I think you mean college educated, not HS.

No, it is the undereducated HS-only graduates who have moved to Trump. They need to preserve their white privilege social bias to compete.

College educated whites can compete in a multicultural America.

Chris Jansing 💩

Yes, to more Peter Alexander!

Vaughn Hillyard should just go lick Dump’s balls already.

^ Another - the same (?) - poster who thinks MSNBC is MAGA Central. It's like Fox viewers fleeing to the safer confines of NewsMax & OANN.

I got this insider poll from MSNBC:

Hello -

Today we have a short survey about a few MSNBC anchors.

This survey should take less than 5 minutes to complete.

Please click below to share your feedback:

It was three questions about Nicolle returning NEXT WEEK!

These viewer polls are sneaky, and the main question was who do want to greet Nicolle back during her first week, and it had us rank the entire afternoon/evening hosts.

As a person with a master’s degree, that required stats and rankings this was not about greetings but ranking viewers preferences in hosts as they exempted Rachel.

I think this was a screw job on Alex Wagner and ranked Melber and Rhule last.

Anyone else get the survey?

Nicolle Joins Us!!!!

As much as I love and respect Alex Wagner there's just something sad and depressing about her show. It just seems to regurgitate everything and every guest from every show that day and she always seems exhausted and deflated to me, like she knows and she'd rather be anywhere else. I won't be at all surprised if she's replaced by Jen Psaki in after the November election or certainly by the new year.

Huh, r214, I don't get that at all. I really like her.

Nicolle is trending!!!

I agree with R214. It's not a pleasure to watch her show each night - it's more of a chore. I usually tune out after twenty minutes - just not feeling it with her.

They need to replace Ari Wigger-Attorney with Katie Fang, if they need to rearrange space.

To each his own, r217.

No to Alex Hamas. Virulent anti-Semite.

Ugh of course Alex Wagner would have that Antisemite, AOC, on her show.

Tonight's "The Beat With Ari Melber - Jeffrey Wright was brilliant in describing his character's dismissive novel in "American Fiction" saying "... he decides to write a street novel, Ari, a novel that you would appreciate." The smile remained, but the light went out in Ari's eyes.

Snap.

Hamas=Genocide

Where is AOC’s engagement ring???

Is AOC Fat or Pregnant?

Would yo ask Melania that?

Alex Wagner is a Socialist Asshole.

AOC looks much better tonight than she has in a long time. She also is a great speaker - knows how to get her points across (though she can get a bit loud when she's passionate about what she's talking about). I'm glad she is in the Dem party.

No one would ever say a man was a bit too loud when he was passionate about what he's talking about.

AOC is Anti-Jew, FUCK THIS FAT CUNT.

R229 Howard Dean ruined his presidential candidacy 20 years ago because he was too loud and passionate over his third place win.

And America lost a great President, r231.

^ lost a hot daddy president.

PYAHHH!!!

[quote]Howard Dean ruined his presidential candidacy 20 years ago because he was too loud and passionate over his third place win.

So does Howard appear as an MSNBC analyst on anyone else's show other than Ari's? And why is he never in studio? He's always only on Zoom and the picture is always so grainy you can barely see him. They could at least send him a decent camera.

R235, Horrible Wi-Fi in Vermont.

R232, Not really. The American people never would have warmed up to that kooky wife of his, especially after their appearance together with Barbara Walters.

Then, there was his wayward son.

R228, She’s now getting heckled at nearly every public appearance.

R238

Like all crazy Antisemites, AOC should be heckled everywhere she goes, especially NYC.

[quote]TRIPPI: The problem was that it was a unidirectional mic he was speaking into, which is meant to make sure that television stations can hear him and not have the crowd roaring so loudly the people back home can't hear the candidate. But that, of course, creates a situation where the CNNs of the world and their audiences hear a guy yelling over a crowd that they can't hear.

It wasn't what people thought it was, and he got screwed. But I think something else happened, because you'd think he'd be on MSNBC a lot more. I'm paranoid enough to think the Democratic elites don't like him and wanted him gone, but not smart enough to figure out why.

And why did Obama dislike him enough to disband Dean's organization that had a great deal to do with Obama's success?

R240, It wasn’t just the scream, it was his appearance. He looked like he’d just come from a keg party.

Is the Dean son hot? A lot could be forgiven.....

R242, He got married in 2012.

Not hot.

AOC is the next-gen of the Democratic Party, as much as people think we should skip to Gen Z.

Chris Hayes finally gets to lead the coverage.

Maddow wasn’t coming to the studio on a Saturday.

[quote] Maddow wasn’t coming to the studio on a Saturday.

Maddow explained that she's not in the studio because she got COVID.

Sure, Rachel.

Chris is a great Moderator as he keeps things going. Ari is all about Ari. Stephanie is all about Stephanie.

Stephanie Rhule is comedy relief.

Ari Melber is not happy to be working on a Saturday.

This has got be the end of Nikki Haley. Half of Dump's votes in her own fucking state!

Yes, Ari would rather be at some stupid rap comcert.

^concert

Today was Ari's Sabbath Day - he shouldn't be working.

And yet Haley peeled off 30% of Republican Never Trump voters.

They will become Republicans for Biden.

Most Jews don’t avoid working on Saturday. Generally only very observant Jews are strict about that.

[quote]Joseph Scarborough has said on MJ that he is an Independent now.

Yes but he still considers himself a conservative. And while there used to be "conservative Democrats", part of that Great Realignment has also transformed that alignment to basic old school Republican. It's his way of saying of saying he's still a Republican without being called a Rhino.

Yeah on more than a few occasions Joe said he didn't leave the Republican Party; the Party left him.

[quote]Yes, Ari would rather be at some stupid rap comcert.

I really wish Ari would drop the Rap quote routine. He thinks it makes him sound more hip or that he's spreading the insights of Rap lyrics, but it does nothing but make him like like a wannabe Rapper who went to law school instead. His guests play along because, well they have to.

This is not my projection, one of his favorite Rappers mentioned his name in one of his song lyrics. Ari almost came with excitement, talking endlessly about it, played a segment of the song on his show, how humbled he was with his brush with greatness.

Ari loves BBC.

Still would, Ari, *eyebrow waggles*

Totally agree about the rap lyrics. They never offer any insights into the topic at hand, and rarely have any inherent value as poetry. It’s like a sad party trick. I’ve stop watching Ari because of this.

I just turned off Ali Velshi when he started in on period poverty. Someone needs to tell Rashida that their anchors need at least one uplifting, upbeat story per show because Gaza Trump Ukraine needs five minutes of relief.

[quote]but he still considers himself a conservative.

Joe is desperately trying to save Southern Baptistery from White Nationalism.

He needs to get an appology from The Southern Baptist Council for moving from pro choice, supporting the sinner, to pro-life anti-women, in the 70s. Only when the Southern Baptists rebuket their power hungry political mover will they again become a Christian sect. rathern than a white nationalist front.

Oh, and Southern Baptist Convention, do you still have "retirement" accounts for Mike Johnson to subvert the public reporting requirements for lobbyist "contributions"?

AMEN r260

Southern Baptism owes its very existence to the defense of white supremacy. It will never give that up.

And right fucking there is Joe's problem.

Joe needs to become an original American Christian and convert to the Anglican/Episcopal Church. The Church that remained intact after we got rid of KG3.

The Southern Baptists are too far gone. Too far corrupt.

[quote] Dumb Democrats aren't a threat; dumb Republicans are.

What was your point, [R203]?

My point was that the statement “ Every Republican may not be dumb, but every dumb person is a Republican.” is bullshit.

Not every Southern Baptist is corrupt and evil.

But, every Evangelical Republican in Congress is corrupt and evil.

Most of them band together under The Freedom (for White Supremacists) Caucus.

And if you are wondering why the fuck we see so much interviewing of Byron Donald's, it is because he seems to be the only BLACK person who is a member of the White Freedom Caucus.

Byron is the ONLY House Nigger in The Big House and, in all likelihood, the next House Speaker after they put Moses Mike in the basket and sail him down the river.

Leave Susanne Craig alone! She's a no nonsense lesbian who lives in a log cabin, wears flannel shirts, and chops her own wood. She has no time for makeup because when she isn't chopping wood, she's going through DJT's tax records. And she has great hair! What's not to love?

Does she really live in a log cabin?

Does she invite Rachel and Susan over for nutloaf?

I love how Susanne Craig, wonderful Lesbian, has distanced herself from Mary Trump, wonderful Lesbian, ever since Mary gave her all the confidential Trump documents Mary requested from the Trump Org as a TRUMP RELATIVE (they were in cardboard boxes decaying in a storage room in NYC) that Susanne investigated and received awards and accolades for?

Is Mary's $350M lawsuit for illegal settling her father's estate still active?

^^^ Any chance you might translate the above?

r274,

1] Mary Trump asked the Trump Org for her father's documents on the settling of his estate.

2] Mary sued for the documents and found out that her mother had been screwed By Uncle Donald.

3] They were partial documents that she gave to Craig to further investigate.

4] Because, up to that time, no Trump Docs were ever revealed to the public, Craig ran with them.

5] The rest is Trump Org tax record history.

6] Is the Mary Trump estate suit still active.

Mary Trump was on Lawrence O'Donnell's show the other night. I haven't seen her in a while (or as the horrible saying goes - 'it's been a minute!' ). I can't get over how much she has aged (looks far older than her reported 61 years) , and she looks more and more like a Trump. Her speech seemed a bit off, too. I wonder if all this legal stuff with the family is wearing her down ?

Damn Ayman, those thighs!

But is there a reason for animosity between Mary T and Susanne? That's what I'm missing.

What is that particular accent of Susanne's? I can't quite place it.

Susanne Craig is from Calgary, Canada. Hence the accent.

I have to say Susanne has grown on me - especially when she was on MSNBC the weekend of the 'half billion dollar fine'. She explained everything so clearly so even the viewers who have not been following have a sense of what this is all about, and how the fine is going to wipe Trump out. She really knows her stuff.

Ari, know your and MSNBC's audience.

There should be animosity between Suzanne and Mary as they both are enabling the other's best work, plus, Mary is in line for a Trump windfall. I hope Melania doesn't get in line before her.

Should or shouldn't, r283?

Thanks for the clarification request:

There should be NO animosity between Suzanne and Mary as they both are enabling the other's best work, plus, Mary is in line for a Trump windfall. I hope Melania doesn't get in line before her.

Happy Nicolle Wallace Day!

^ Not to those purist DLers who will never forgive her for her past transgressions!

Happy Nicolle Wallace Part-Time Tease Day!!!!

When does she return full-time?

[quote]Damn Ayman, those thighs!

Those are called Persian Thighs. Even when those guys are fit, they have kind of a wide hip thing going. When they put on a few pounds, the thighs get huge. It's not muscle, sorry to burst your bubble.

All is right with the world.

Three minutes in, and Many HaHa is yukking it up already. Alicia offered such relief from Nicolle's nonsensical laughter!

Back to the West Ham match, for me.

Omg, this is all so funny!! Hahahaha. Lolololol!!

Yeah, yeah, r291, how many times do you need to complain about her laughter?

For as long as I pay for cable and my Datalounge subscription, R293 and, short of blocking me, there's not a damned thing you can do about my expressing an opinion.

r294 =

That restaurant is horrible, every mouthful is poison...and they give you such small portions!

I like Nicole and her never ending hate for Trump, but I wouldn’t have a problem swapping her out for Alicia Menendez. In Nicole’s absence, I think Alicia did a fantastic job. She’s whip smart, engaging, and her guests seemed to really like her. Too bad her Senator father is a lying, corrupt scumbag, who’s going to get his ass handed to him soon enough.

JB Smoove whining about the price of truffles and proving that without Larry, he's not funny. Sheri Shepherd had every part of her nipped and tucked.

As soon as I heard Smoove and Shepherd were coming up next, I grabbed the remote.

Ari the Wigger

Same here E298. I nearly broke a nail grabbing the remote.

Why is Michael Steele so much better than Joy Reid ? Can he replace her permanently ?

^ I'd prefer the return of Chris Matthews.

Harem pants were invented for Persian thighs.

R302, They’ll need a spit screen.

Sheri complained about low-lit steakhouses where you can't tell whether you have a tomahawk or a ribeye. Both were super relatable.

[quote]When they put on a few pounds, the thighs get huge. It's not muscle, sorry to burst your bubble.

Bubble not burst, dear. I like Ayman's meaty thighs, muscular or not.

Who the fuck does Ari think he's appealing to among his audience with Sherri Shepherd and whoever the fuck that dull rapper was? I mean, what was that all about? Certainly not the news.

[quote]Why is Michael Steele so much better than Joy Reid ? Can he replace her permanently ?

Oh, puh-lease. Michael is ok as a guest, but as a host he is lacking. He's not great with the teleprompter and he's never quite as sassy as when he's just a guest. Weekend mornings are where he belongs. The 7 o'clock hour is Joy's, and she does exceptionally well in it.

^ You're forgetting that Michael Steele is terrific eye candy. Joy, not so much.

^To who, you? You're speaking like a gay man. The news isn't for your ogling, particularly in these perilous times.

JB Smoove is a comedian, not a rapper.

R310, 98 percent of us are gay men. You sound like a frau.

Well, he sure wasn't funny, r311. You'd never know.

In what universe is Michael Steele considered eye candy?

—donalds-worst-nightmare (R291)

needs to changer her authenticated name to

cacklecackle2

R296 I agree except I’m just embarrassed for poor Alicia with that father and step monster. Makes it hard to watch her.

Alicia is strong! I wouldn't worry about her.

Good for Jen Psaki for calling out the men in the former Trump Administration for not speaking about how unfit Trump is and to not leave it up to the young women who worked in that administration who are warning people. Shame them, Jen!

Really? Is *nobody* watching Rachel?

Purses really do fly out of Schlapp's mouth, don't they?

[quote]You sound like a frau.

Sounds can be deceiving.

[quote]JB Smoove is a comedian, not a rapper.

To some of them, all black men are either rappers or athletes.

Ari mentioned that Smoove, along with Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock, was beloved by rappers and then talked about the similarities between rap and comedy. Smoove was not even remotely amusing so I see how one could mistake him for someone other than a comedian.

Barb put on makeup for Rachel.

And here she is getting it put on.

And here’s Joyce and Barb

Love those gals…

Vaughn Hillyard is out and gay.

I love Barb and Joyce so much. They make me wish I'd gone to law school and had them for professors.

[quote] Vaughn Hillyard is out and gay.

Vaughn & his husband Devan.

And he has been hit with the Shinola today and is resplendent in black hair.

Is it a toop?

The Trump supporters that Vaughn Hillyard interviewed are not living in reality. Yikes.

Those supporters were damn scary ! THAT is what Trump is attracting ? THAT is MAGA ? Yikes !

I read an article describing some of their common traits - racism, feeling deprived and fear. Not a healthy bunch.

Those clips of Vaughn interviewing MAGA deplorables were beyond scary. Truly revolting what we're up against.

The thing is that they've always felt that way but we didn't have a president before that pushed those buttons.

How come FOX never shows those people on their programs ? Are they ashamed of them ?

Just showcase these freaks 24/7 until the election.

Mark this comment on your calendars, DLoungers!!!

Joy Reid, I think your perfectly applied makeup, and you, look beautiful tonight.

Michelle Goldberg really needs to update her hairstyle. She's had the same cut for years.

I think Joy's makeup was awful. It looked like someone painted on a beard.

Primary coverage is not the same without Maddow. Hayes and Wagner are nothing short of dull and boring. Kornacki is doing his best to stay excited and enthusiastic tonight.

They'll all be on deck Super Tuesday - March 5th.

Ugh Super Left Fringe Alex & Chris in the Chair!

As a Jew I am disgusted with MSNBC tonight, FUCK HAYES & WAGNER.

Same, R345. How long are they going to have these Pro-Hamas dumbasses blather on?

Also - why are they pretending the 'Uncommitted Vote' is so significant? Michigan is a big state and the large majority are NOT pro-Hamas.

R346

Lawrence will talk some reason instead of these Bernie Assholes.

So Biden wins over 70% of the vote and yet MSNBC shows interviews with a Muslim woman and a purple haired they/them on their 'uncommitted vote.'

I am weary of the progressive slant that Hayes and Wagner always blather about on and on. Where the hell did they find these two? They need to put Jen Psaki in Wagner's chair and escort Wagner out of the building.

Chris Hayes is such a progressive cliche, it's like he was created in a DSA lab.

Another vote for ejecting Punch & Judy.

Alexi M.’s lips are looking injectable this morning.

I think Alexi M has dropped in my esteem. When she left Axios for the Post I gaver a second look. Butin the meantime, MJ-F has outpaced her for serious reporting and commentary.

A victory of function over form.

[quote]So Biden wins over 70% of the vote and yet MSNBC shows interviews with a Muslim woman and a purple haired they/them on their 'uncommitted vote.'

The agenda of ALL television news is to compel the viewer to keep watching and not change the channel. Period. The only way to compel the audience to stay glued to the screen is to create anxiety. When the facts alone do not create anxiety or sufficient curiosity, news media will use or create " stress points " around the facts in the form of negative conclusions or outcomes that could occur as a result of the event or that the event portends) A narrative emerges that they can use over and over again. Election cycles are peak times for this, but its constant no matter what is happening. "Breaking News" runs as a chiron non-stop because they know that even when the viewer knows they are being manipulated, their anxiety will compel them to look.

The news is not the news, its a mini action movie fashioned out of the facts on the ground. Save yourself and ONLY get your news from print media which is just as manipulative but it doesn't have the same impact on your biochemistry and you can at least get some perspective.

My advice is to work like your life depends on it to get Biden reelected (because it does) All journalists know that Dump is far, FAR worse than even what the general public knows about him but the news business is show business and a good show needs suspense

Save yourself. turn off the TV and VOTE. Vote for Democrats only, the Republicans are planning the autocracy as we speak, and they are fine with it. There are no good Republicans left. They will all fall in line

Kornacki looks much better in black trousers. Is that a brown belt?

No package and a pancake ass.

Has he been hit with the same Shinola bottle that Hilliard was hit with?

I accidentally posted this on th MJ thread. But it also belongs here, because I was also set off by this:

[quote]So Biden wins over 70% of the vote and yet MSNBC shows interviews with a Muslim woman and a purple haired they/them on their 'uncommitted vote.'

They're not on our side. It's business.

They all wash each other's backs. It's disappointing, but not surprising.

Take some of the time you spend (rightly so) trashing trump and trash some of their fellow enablers.

Peter Baker from the NYT is a great example of cheap shot both siderism always at the expense of the Democrats. But there are many more in clear sight.

I'd love to see a roundtable of mea culpas, talking about what they did to enable, why they did it, and their part in the ascendance of trump.

Willie's sibilant "s"'s are too frequent to ignore.

Alexi is a ditsy sorority girl with a University of Chicago degree. She's not a serious journalist. Her job is to sit on a sofa, look pretty, represent multiple communities and recite conventional wisdom.

Just what the world needs. More Mehdi Hasan.

Ex-MSNBC Mehdi Hasan Launching His Own Media Company to Fill Progressive ‘Gap in the Market’

Alexi fucked that guy in Biden’s administration while engaged to her fiancé.

r357, so true about cheap shot multiple faces Peter Baker.

Why is he back?

Peter Baker (NYT) & his wife Susan Glasser (NYer) are among the brightest journalists in DC.

Mr. Nicolle Wallace talking about Baby Izzy.

My point is that how he - Baker - presents stories - and they do tilt, if only because he both sides everything - yet MSNBC continues to promote him as being a neutral commentator. He is not neutral.

It doesn't matter how smart Baker and Glasser are - how they write and present the news is what matters. And if they're so smart, why are they not reporting the news in an objective manner - because they do not. They write for clicks just like almost all the rest. Or write for their employers.

If they are so smart why isn't every article they write clear about the dangers that trump represents instead of - looking at you, Peter - filling his precious column inches with bullshit about Biden's age? Smart people know that when we're dealing with Biden vs Trump, Biden's age doesn't mean fuck-all.

[quote] My point is that how he - Baker - presents stories - and they do tilt, if only because he both sides everything - yet MSNBC continues to promote him as being a neutral commentator. He is not neutral.

They're both OPINION analysts.

I'm not sure if you're explaining them, or excusing them. I may be misunderstanding.

They don't write for the Opinion pages. Their output is presented as news, not their opinions.

[quote] They don't write for the Opinion pages. Their output is presented as news, not their opinions.

Maybe I'm at a disadvantage in this discussion, but I subscribe to both the NYT & the NYer. It's inarguable that Glasser is an opinion writer. Baker, maybe not entirely, but his byline often accompanies analysis pieces.

Lisa Rubin pushing back against Katy Bear Tur.

You're right, and I should have been more specific. Glasser would be considered an opinion writer, and it doesn't matter how smart she is. Baker's byline may accompany analysis, but our point is that Baker's analyses always both-sides everything. And there aren't two VALID sides to every argument about Trump.

And if you're writing about Hunter Biden's access to Joe Biden affecting his role as the President, you better the fuck mention the failsons and how they affected Trump's presidency as well as how they might affect a possible second Trump presidency.

And if you're writing about candidate Biden's age, you better the fuck mention the age of the other candidate.

No audio for the first few minutes of Nicolle’s show. Then they went to commercial.

Baker would make a perfect beady eyed Goebbels in a permanent Trump Dictatorship.

Michael Schmidt takes a break from babysitting in the Green Room to appear on Nicolle's show,

Good grief, R372, Baker & Glasser are both very liberal.

Many HaHa Wallace to poor Mike Schmidt this afternoon: "It's hard to pretend not to know you after we've shown baby pictures."

That girl ain't right. Run away while you can, Mike!

You don't understand the context for that comment, r375?

Mike Schmidt, in contrast to Peter Baker, IS a "straight" news journalist.

I always take Peter Baker's "criticism" of Biden (and Democrats in general) as waking us up to fight harder and do better.

Most journalists are liberal leaning, the job though, is to keep the ball in the air. You can't reassure your audience and keep them, you have to keep them scared and on edge to be engaged with your outlet/platform/ etc.

Having said that, no matter how liberal you are, as a journalist you get bombarded with calls from republicans pushing their agenda, and it does have an impact even on the most liberal leaning reporters. Lemire is often criticized here for his both siderism with Biden, but he has to keep his sources alive and active by throwing them something. Lemire and his wife are both liberals but the JOB is getting eyeballs and clicks and you don't do that by being a slave to the obvious truth. Also keep in mind, most of these reporters get death threats, 90 % are from the right very few from the left. That tends to temper your reporting like it or not

Rachel, Laurence and Chris H on at 8:00 PM to discuss Supreme Court's decision to take up Trump's immunity claim.

Is Giggles back full time, or is she doing a Rachel and getting on the once a week plan??

Hope springs eternal, R381, for your latter option.

Andrew and Neal are not pleased with the Supreme Court today.

Ari Melber just asked Ellie Mystal to “cut through the Scotus bullshit”, and speak to what’s really going on. Ellie blew his top and made no bones about saying the quiet part out loud. Simply put, “the conservative Scotus majority is in trumps pocket, hence the delay”. Nice going Garland, you useless piece of dog shit, for not moving on Trump 3 years ago. Andrew Weissman and Neil Katyal are very worried about whether this trial is going to be heard before the election.

Lawrence will be beside himself tonight.

Yay, *two* Lawrences!

R385, “Stop the hammering!”

Joy is WILD tonight!

Joy was spot on about McTurtle’s destructive tenure, a far better retrospective of that demon than the “Whether you think he’s controversial or not…” claptrap bullshit from Ari.

Rachel Maddow looks like she was gonna cry.

Love when Lawrence breaks it down.

Whereas Al Franken appeared to have taken a sleeping pill before chatting with Joy. How does he make money these days?

[quote] How does he make money these days?

Al Franken has a weekly podcast. He also tours, doing comedy.

Aymin is Egyptian, not Persian.

SEXY Lawrence O’Donnell.

The Dems need to clean house. Throw out any Hamas supporting people and politicians.

Who's supporting Hamas exactly? Palestinians are not Hamas, could you be any more one sided?

R397 - maybe the protesters screaming about intifada and 'fuck the Jews' - those people.

It was funny to see Jonathan Martin look so goofy when Mika introduced him and he got bitch slapped in the ear piece and his face fell. Jackie Alemeny had the gravitas and they quickly cut to her from the split screen. Talking about the Hunter fraud.

^ In the political media world, JMart is among the most revered political reporters.

Anyone calling for a cease fire is supporting Hamas, whether they realize it or not.

But certainly anyone who says Oct. 7 was “resistance” or justified is knowingly supporting Hamas.

Certainly some Palestinians support Hamas.

Many were cheering in the streets as Hamas dragged dead bodies through. They are also living in a religious dictatorship and are indoctrinated.

The Middle East is fucked up, stay away from it.

That was the Biden approach, R405. Then 10/7 happened.

If there is a Democratic Super Majority in the senate with a regular majority in the House, Democrats can impeach Trump a THIRD time and remove him before inauguration day.

This is why the Republican VP may be important.

^what?

R407, in all likelihood, there will be a Republican majority in the Senate next year, one that will be difficult to dislodge for many years. In what world are you imagining a “Democratic Super Majority” there?!

Keep on thinking that r409, no beets for you!

I just watched a full hour of Ari Melber being as much as or more than the usual asshole. (And it was stiff competition of who was the bigger asshole since Carville was on.)

Can someone explain Melber to me, please? What is it he brings to the table? Why does he have his own show?

I don't care how smart he is, he's generally an asshole and a buffoon, negating whatever his smarts could provide.

What's the story?

That color Joy is wearing is beautiful.

R411 Years ago, when he first got started, I used to watch Ari all the time. He was handsome, sexy and smart. Over the years, he's aged terribly (he looks ten years older tan his 43 years) and looks grubby looking - no longer sexy. His smartness has become smugness. I usually tune into him for about five minutes or so, but inevitably change the channel. I think he's done - they need to replace him.

He has a tragic case of middle-aged white guy trying to be hip while letting us know how he's no intellectual lightweight. I haven't watched him in about three years. Does he still quote rappers' lyrics relating them to whatever topic at hand? The cringe factor was off-the-scale.

Yes to the rap lyrics. Many of the guests, including rap artists that he's trying to impress, look at him like he has two heads

I'd almost be embarrassed for him, except for his being. generally repulsive.

Thank you, Madame Speaker...

Joy and Toure had an interesting conversation about black rappers - and their support for Trump. He mentioned 'sexy Red' and openly said she didn't know what she was talking about when she gave her reasons for backing Trump (stimulus checks, which was the product of the Dems). They called out another rapper (Big Mike?) who said he dislikes Trump but loves sneakers - so he did a Tik Tok video of 'unboxing' the sneakers. I'm glad they had this discussion. Joy did say only 14% of black men support Trump, so it's not as bad as it seems.

Fat Joe unboxed the sneakers, and he’s an idiot.

Fat Joe is a regular on one of the FOX shows - Guttfield.

Mika, Joe, Willie on the Lawrence/Chris Hayes 4 day work schedule.

Mar-A-Lardo documents hearing adjourns without trial date.

4 day work with 15 minutes on the weekends. They re-hash the weeks videos like it's new content with a 1 minuted per-recorded clip of "stay tuned for more this weekend". Mika probably getting paid for 2 extra full days and over time. Nice gig if you can get it.

But then I would never suck Joe's cock so there is that.

Brandon Van Grack is cute but he always looks like he’d rather be someplace else.

He'd rather be in my bed. Can you blame him ?

No, Ari, Rachel didn't call it BS, she called it BP.

Did I just hear Byron Douglas say "IVF ... helps them breed great families?" Oy!

Well bred ... I mean well said, Black Florida Man.

He just put it right out there, r426.

R426 I couldn't believe my ears when he said that. Then again...Florida.

r425, and to quote George Carlin, shoot is just shit with two O's

Joy Reid is interviewing Roan Wade, the idiot who went on a 12 day hunger strike to protest Dartmouth College's 'approach to Israel-Hamas war'. Poor thing looked like she was going to collapse on camera, but she said she was in 'good health' since being released from the hospital (but some of her other hunger strikers are still in the hospital). I wonder if a Big Mac meal was waiting for her off-camera ?

Wait, so are there Kornacki dong pics here or not?

Katie Porter needs to wax that mustache.

Katie Porter and Chris Hayes looked like twin siblings on the split screen. Who told her that Vera bradley blouse was a good idea to wear on TV tonight ?

Katie Porter is AWESOME!!!! She's going to be are next senator in CA if she wins.

Yes, she looks like a school teacher because she is one or was. But she's also a lawyer, don't be fooled by her schoolmarm image, she knows how to put kids in their place and most of what's in Congress is childish behavior so there you go. Hopefully she give Marge a time out.

Team Schiff

WOW! Alex Wagner was so far up Bernie Sanders ass tonight, she could see his tonsils.

Oh how terrible that Alex actually takes it a bit to the left from center right. Just shocking, how could MSNBC do such a thing. Next up, AOC just to see your head explode.

Which is one reason why I cannot watch Alex Wagner.

R434, I think Katie needs to give you lessons on the rules of proper English grammar.

Symone’s smirk when Alicia introduced them.

They need to add George Conway to 'The Weekend' permanently. He has great chemistry with Symone and Steele and adds a lot of common-sense knowledge to the issues at hand. I didn't like him too much a few years ago when he made MSNBC appearances, but he really cleaned up his act and is interesting to listen to these days.

R441, A man who plunged his dick into Laura Ingraham and then Kellyanne Conway.

I doubt George wants a regular gig.

Symone is great. Love her and Michael Steele and George Conway is a good fit.

"The Weekend" is much better than I ever thought it would be. I really enjoy it - they have great energy (though Alicia sometimes falls behind), great chemistry and know when to change gears (if an interview goes too slow, etc.). I hope this sticks.

Mary McCord needs that JCrew contract!

I only want to see George Conway on a show about parenting and happy marriages.

I wish Peacock would show The Weekend on delay.

Why are they making a big deal about trump “winning “ GOP Idaho and Missouri? Who else would have won the GOP?

It is the first GOPrimary where Nikki didn't challenge him. Pure red states.

The Biden Campaign is charting states he is weak in as an incumbent.

Katy Tur normal on podcasts, not on MSNBC.

R449, Why did they make a big deal about Biden “winning” the South Carolina primary?

Alex Wagner & Chris Hayes are the worst primetime hosts.

How do we get those 2 morons fired?

^Agreed. How about a combined petition, then compromising photos? Full documentation of their Fox like promotion of Hamas propaganda couldn’t hurt either.

If Joe Scarborough is paid $30,000,000 per year, what is Mika paid?

What about Willie Geist, how much does the third wheel get?

[quote][R449], Why did they make a big deal about Biden “winning” the South Carolina primary?

It showed Biden running as a traditional unopposed incumbent and Trump as a loser who hhas ALREADY lost a third of his party.

The Big Deal is that Nikki is stress testing Trump as a Republican candidate for all the TRADITIONAL non-MAGA Republicans who may still exist.

For the Biden Campaign, it shows where Republicans for Biden can be cultivated.

Thank you, Nikki.

R457, Biden did not run unopposed in SC and Nikki’s campaign ends on March 5th.

Those Republicans not voting for Trump in the primaries will however vote for him in November when the alternative is Biden/Harris.

r458, true, but the final SC total was Biden 100% of the Delegates.

That is how a solid incumbent runs.

As opposed to a weak Trump who is winning with a significantly smaller majority against a Never Trumper Nikki Haley.

Biden is keeping his powder dry until Trump is a lock.

The words “solid incumbent” and Joe Biden do not belong in the same sentence, especially in SC(aka Clyburnville).

Trump will be unvanquished when Nikki goes bye-bye after Super Tuesday.

Let’s be honest, Biden is day to day. No one would be surprised to hear that Joe passed in his sleep during the night.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump’s head exploded.

How is Nikki Haley a “Never Trumper”? She worked in his administration and said she would vote for him again.

Nikki is a politically expedient opportunist.

There’s some speculation, R480, that Haley, who just repudiated her pledge to support the GOP nominee, is considering running as a third party candidate.

Fucking Chris Jansing--how the hell does this woman warranted one hour, let alone TWO.

So glad Cornell Belcher shut that bitch down... and like the prissy little bitch she is, she CUTS HIM OFF mid-sentence, to go to what, exactly? Oh, VP Harris is speaking...like they ever really cover her anyway. Gimme a break.

Jansing: "Would Democrats be wise to panic [about Biden], at least a little?"

Belcher: "*snorts* Look...uh, well, just...no. That's just an absurd sort of thought--...

Jansing: "Sorry, if I can interrupt for just a second...VP Harris is speaking...." *proceeds to throw to VP Harris speaking...then almost immediately cut right back to studio*

CUNT!

James Clyburn take that bitch Chris Jansing down.

Chris Jansing typifies the mediocrity that is conventional journalism training.

Chris Jansing makes Katy Tur look good.

Oh great Antisemitic Eddie Glaude is here today.

Who is the woman with long grey hair?

Sue Gordon

Joy - SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! Speak so that your audience (and guests) can understand you.

Does Sue like girls or boys?

Susan Gordon and Mary Trump could pass for sisters.

R471

Lawrence doesn't suffer fools gladly. Sometime ago there was an MSNBC panel covering either primaries or the actual 2020 election. Nicolle Wallace, Rachel Maddow, I think Joy and perhaps Ari, Lawrence and Donny Deutsch.

Deutsch has ahead of steam about himself in general, and he went off with some kind of opinion presenting it as political fact. Lawrence looking very unruffled immediately responded by saying that contributes absolutely nothing to the discussion because it has no basis in data and no real meaning (effectively letting Deutsch and the audience know what he thought of him as political commenter).

Omg, Donny started to splutter and defend himself, no one cared. Camera cut away. I will see if I can come up with the clip.

Better than remembered

Thanks, R493. When I see that blow hard Donny Douche, I can’t grab the remote fast enough. He’s so self-important. John Heilman is another one. Team O’Donnell!

I love those guys.

They make Mika roll her eyes.

"Well, then." God, I miss Brian Williams.

Thanks, R494.

^"Now, then"

Rachel Maddow made an appearance at 30 Rock.

She has to work 3x this week.

RACHEL IS ON FIRE TONIGHT!!!!!

Actually, I think Donny held up very well against Lawrence (and I love Lawrence).

Rachel is SPICY tonight!

I remember Lawrence saying, in the aftermath of 9/11, that if the war on terror lasted very long it would redound to the detriment of Bill Clinton’s legacy,

I bet Lawrence will be on 🔥 tonight.

Rachel had one of her BEST shows in a very long time.

r499, it makes it worth her wile to work from her Manhattan apartment...

Has Rachel always been so squinty?

R500, I agree. Rachel had an amazing show tonight. And Nick Corasaniti from the NYT is hot.

Rachel Maddow brilliant A Blocks makes you realize what a downgrade Alex Wagner truly is.

Anybody is a downgrade compared to Rachel...except for Lawrence.

MARY!!!

MSNBC makes your skin crawl

I think Deutsch was actually correct and Lawrence was being a blowhard. Trump would have eviscerated Warren.

Thanks for that, R513. I feared I was not seeing the obvious.

I love (hyperbolic) Lawrence, but I thought (perennial douche) Deutsch had it exactly right, and the actuality of what transpired proved Deutsch was right.

They've been having "live coverage" from some of the major polling locations across the country today. I'm pretty shocked that here it is late morning / early afternoon, and so many of these places are empty. There are more workers than there are voters.

That's because millions of Republicans are now turned off by Dump and don't care to vote.

People tend to vote before or after work, not in the middle if the day. Besides, there is not real primary any more.

[quote] I'm pretty shocked that here it is late morning / early afternoon, and so many of these places are empty. There are more workers than there are voters.

"Shocked"?! It's not as if there is any doubt who the nominees will be.

I know a lot of people who don't bother voting in primaries when they're for an incumbent like Biden, who doesn't really have anybody strong running against him.

Unless there are local issues, of course.

R517, There was also early voting and vote by mail.

R518 They've been saying on MSNBC (and other channels) the 'downvoting' in the primaries are just as important. There are some Senate primaries going on, as well.

Jacob Soboroff was on with Katy yesterday. Good Lord, he is gorgeous and seems to have a great personality. Too bad he’s straight.

For you, r522...

R523, thank you!

Soboroff and Tur were high school pals. I wonder if he's noticed she's become an annoyed GOP-like frau.

Soboroff is one hot Jew.

Can Michael Tyler (of the Biden campaign comm director) please take all his clothes off and massage me now ? Wow - what a great looking guy. You can tell he has a great body under his clothes. Lucky Nicolle Wallace for having him on the show.

I feel bad for Alicia M. She filled in for Nicolle W during her maternity leave, and did such an excellent job every single day. Now guests are coming back on the show and gushing over Nicolle, telling her how much they've missed her, etc. It's kind of a slap in the face to Alicia. It's fine to welcome NW back, of course, but to gush all over her and let he know 'how much she was missed' really borderlines on insulting Alicia and all she did at the table holding down the show.

Alicia’s father was indicted for the fourth time today. Once is unfortunate. Twice is embarrassing. Three times is a real problem. Four?

They hired the daughter of the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but they got someone who can’t cover a major news story.

Tim Miller, even complete GOP control in DC next year won’t bring about a national abortion ban … unless the filibuster rule is repealed.

They would repeal the filibuster. All restraint is gone.

So sick of Tim Miller. Gay Republican apologist.

Maybe, R531, but at least McConnell, for all his faults, resisted Trump 1.0’s strong pressure to repeal the filibuster rule for legislation.

Tim Miller, R532, left the GOP in the Great Realignment.

Tom Snyder was on Nicole’s show. I love listening to him speak

Oops Tim Snyder, not Tom

I'd love to see Tom Snyder back on TV! I wonder what he'd make of it all.

TOM SNYDER DEAD??!!

R522, I met Jacob at Politicon. He is indeed hot. Very outgoing.

Alex Wagner is a fucking joke.

I agree R540. Wagner is indeed an embarrassment.

Alex Wagner, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid are obsessed with Uncommitted.

Step aside assholes, The actual real anchors know better.

I really like Alex.

WTF is NBC talking about? Trump "allegedly" tried overturning election?

Jacob Soboroff is developing a hunchback.

Joy Reid wants to be white so bad.

R545 It's that big heavy cock between his legs which pulls him forward.

Will Rachel, PLEASE tape Alex's mouth shut!! What a Squad member wannabe! Who hired this moron? Rachel and Nicole look at her with such distaste. And Stephanie Ruhle just took her dumb shit ass down!! Go Stephanie!

Alex Wagner always seemed like a normie Dem on The Circus. Don't know what happened to her.

Kornacki just said that Haley is winning 25,% across the states. That 25% is enough for Trump to lose the General Election in a landslide.

In 1980 the pendulum swung to the Capitalists.

In 2024 the pendulum swings back to the people.

Porter and Lee are getting trounced in California.

Lee is 77. Time to lecture at the Kennedy School of Government.

If Biden gets in, Porter will run a federal agency.

I had to laugh at Rachel talking about Lee's future in politics, like the woman isn't already almost 80 years old. She shouldn't be running for anything after this.

R551, Now, Katie will have time to address her mustache issue.

Steve Garvey is 75 looks 95. The Steve Kornacki board had me scared there for a minute. I cant imagine a hard core Trumpeter sneaking in by a split vote to become our state Senator. He has ZERO experience running anything but his get off my lawn mouth.

Katie Porter is a fucking tool!

Ugh Alex Wagner is exhausting.

I love Katie, just not for that job. She always call Repugs out from their own game.

r551, Katie Porter will make an excellent Secretary of the Treasury.

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

Alex Wagner needs to STFU.

Jake Sherman 💩

Does MSNBC pay Rachel Maddow by the word?

Joe is on fire this morning.

Ratner killed it.

Loved yesterday when Joe took the Southern Baptists to the woodshed for leaving being pro choice for pro life on POLITICAL grounds. Read Jerry Falwell for filth. I live for a Mika eye roll.

Talking about Mika's brother the Ambassador to Poland and traitor Trump, beautiful.

^ Traitor Trump should definitely be on the agenda. Juxtaposing JFK’s & Reagan’s inaugural address & tear down this wall speeches, respectively, with Trump’s various pro-Putin, anti-West pronouncements. And throw in 1/6 & Trump’s other anti-Constitution utterances for good measure.

I never get tired of former Senator Claire McCaskill on MSNBC. She should get her own show.

From her kitchen.

A different baked good every day!

They could call it

"Under the Dome with Claire"

That's an excellent name for her show, r569.

“Bored to Death with Claire”

No, r571

That is perfection R569

Today, under the dome...

bundt or bear claws?

How dense are you, Nicolle, not to know what donald means when he says he doesn't like Nimarata Haley's complexion? SMH.

Run, Mike Schmidt! Get away while you can!

Hans Nichols was on with Stephanie. Now there's a blast from the past; I haven't seen him on MSNBC in years. I suspect they're getting the band back together for the arduous election season. It's good to see the return of old favorites.

[quote] Hans Nichols was on with Stephanie. Now there's a blast from the past; I haven't seen him on MSNBC in years.

He was a Pentagon and White House correspondent for NBC News, so he used to appear all the time. But he left NBC in 2020 for Axios, so he stopped appearing regularly.

And we know what a flaming success AXIOS became (sarc)

Another great example of Jake Sherman's bias and both-sides cheap shot writing...

Yesterday he was on talking about how raucous State of The Union speeches have become. What he neglected to say to put it in context - or just speak the truth - is that it all originated and continues to be a problem because of REUBLICANS.. One side. Not both sides.

It took me less than 30 seconds on the internet to find this explanation. Too bad he can't find the time to do the same, from his vaulted position.

(2023)

[quote]When South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!” during a 2009 speech President Barack Obama delivered to Congress, the breach of decorum quickly became the evening’s most notable moment. Members of both parties condemned the outburst, which was a response to the President’s claim that his health care plan would not apply to undocumented immigrants. After being booed by his colleagues, Wilson issued an apology and expressed contrition to Obama’s chief of staff.

[quote]Fourteen years later, heckling, booing, and yelling at the President has become the norm.

[quote]During this year’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday, Republicans shouted at President Joe Biden on-and-off throughout the address. Though they were occasionally met by shushing and calls for order, those efforts didn’t end the interruptions.

[quote]At the beginning, things seemed to be going smoothly, with Democrats whooping, cheering, and applauding many of Biden’s points and Republicans clapping politely or, most of the time, remaining pointedly silent. But that changed when Biden moved on to the debt ceiling and accused Republicans of wanting to sunset Social Security and Medicare.

[quote]Biden’s suggestion led to one of the loudest reactions of the evening, with many Republicans booing and shouting “No!” in response. “Liar!” yelled Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who sat in the back of the chamber wearing a white fur outfit almost as loud as her outcry. But rather than becoming the defining moment of the event, the remark just opened the floodgates.

[bold]The media is killing us.[/bold]

What's become of Jonathan Swan (speaking of Axios)? Does he appear on MSNBC and I just keep missing him? Does he appear somewhere else? And yes, I know his wife Betsy appears on MSNBC.

R580, He pops up occasionally on FOX News Channel.

MJ is depressing. Any alternatives? They don't even bother to survey the news.

Jonathan Swan is now regularly seen on the pages of the NYT. Often sharing a byline with Maggie Haberman.

Thanks. But I wonder why Swan, who has a face for TV, is not on it more.

Joe replaying the Trump brain thaw where he ends his word salad with a sad aawwwwwww was hilarious. Wait I was on the phone, play it again..

Joe was brutal.

R583, R584, Can you not see R581?

Part - 55 is set up when we hit 600 here.

Who is the Black bald Democratic strategist Steve who was just on jose Diaz Balart?

I am answering my own question above. That was former Columbia, South Carolina mayor, Steve Benjamin, now a Biden advisor. So

R586, yes I saw R581’s link. But that was from a September (not clear if that was 2021 or 2022) episode of Fox’s Special Report, at a time Swan was still at Axios. I - painfully - watch Special Report everyday & Swan, who was once a rather regular guest, has not been back on in a long time, certainly not since he joined the Times in January 2023.

I don’t even see Betsy that much. Only rarely.

Steve Benjamin, bald Democratic strategist for Biden, must have some worth to the campaign, but he's useless on TV. Nicole and David Jolly were pressing him to answer a question about how the Biden campaign could/should reach out to.Haley voters.

He's a robot without a bit of nuance. David asked the question and got a robotic prepared answer, and Nicole tried asking the same question twice trying - by changing a few words in the same question - to elicit the answer, or any answer. All three times he gave the same robotic answer talking about Biden's accomplishments. It was ridiculous. And he's clueless about the state of the election. Jolly, a former Republican who frequently says the only way out of this mess is to vote for Democrats, was legitimately probing for what the answer might be for Biden to reach Haley undecideds. Benjamin couldn't get passed his canned response, which didn't come close to really answering their question.

They gave up and Nicole, who made some comment about the answer being the same day by day, ended the interview while she and David smiled and repressed laughter.

As always, Democrats need some serious help in getting out their message, and Benjamin is useless at it.
