MSNBC- Part 57

Joy’s fuckery is coming up…

Whatever happened to Melissa Harris Perry ?

I can't take Lawrence O'DONNELL anymore. The way he torments all the 9 pm hosts for a full 10 minutes into his show. Alex visibly hates it and tries to wrap it up, but he can't catch a fuckibg hint. It's embarrassing and cringe.

Not me

Me

Me

Me

No idea

Not me

Rashida needs to liquidate the Hamas anchors

Here comes Alex Wagner’s fuckery.

Where are the moderate democrat senators denouncing the antisemitic protests?

The Moderate Democrats do not want to be swirled together with the Pro-Israeli genocide.

It is a bunch of confused protests, and the easiest thing to do IS SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT.

R2, Andy Lack canceled her show right before MSNBC became the all Trump all the time network.

MSNBC is covering the Salvation and Redemption of America through the Prosecutions of Donald J. Trump in the Federal Courts, the New York Courts and the Georgia Courts.

The only thing missing is the Asylum of Charenton.

Lawrence does not like Hope Hicks. Not one bit. Love him.

Can we talk about how cute Adam Klasfeld is? Lawrence has had him on his show every night this week. Just adorable.

Adam Klasfeld:

He seems like a nice guy.

I wish O’Donnell had Alex Wagner’s time slot.

The only can’t miss MSNBC show is my nightly fix of all the legal issues arising from Trump’s multiple cases and nobody presents what I want to be fill-in on better than O’Donnell and his guests.

But I have to fight sleep because of its time slot.

Are they winding down their coverage of the North Face tenting of American campus quadrangles?

Lawrence’s take down of Hicks was a masterclass.

Hicks was the official whore of the Trump Administration.

She was a protected Lewinsky.

And only Lawrence is peeling off her reality from the edges.

Is there a list of all the men she fucked for Trump?

A beautiful young woman who was the Trump Administration pass-around?

I love Melissa Murray's White Chains necklace.

A visual metaphor.

While Nicolle & Chris Jansing were empathetic to a pretty girl crying as if it was a real story…Lawrence saw right through that bullshit and said who fucking cares.

Susanne Craig is a sensationalist reporter who talks about the clickbait and not the real story.

R18 At one time, Hope Hicks was known as Melania Knavs. Once Knavs became 'Trump', Hicks took over her role.

Earlier this week, Lawrence used those hand off minutes to school Alex Wagner. She had on NYT Michelle Goldberg and they were comparing the police response to the Columbia protests to the campus violence in the sixties, as if both circumstances were commensurate. Lawrence fully explained why the two were not alike and the difference in the police response, he gave perspective. Alex Wagner signed off with a chastened face.

I like him. He is not afraid to take a position counter to his msnbc colleagues and his panel guests almost always are knowledgeable and expert.

And for the love of Baby Jesus, will Rashida switch Velshi's two hours with The Weekend's two hours?

I get up at 5am to watch the weekend, go back to bed for two hours to get up and watch Katie Phang or Jen Psaki on the weekends.

Velshi is insufferable.

Getting up at 7am on the West Coast is till an abomination, but it's better than the 2hr Velshi nap.

Pardon my mixing of metaphors but Alex Wagner isn’t the sharpest bowling ball on the rack.

I think she interrupts too much, too.

Have you heard about Joy’s book?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Stephanie Ruhle is no slouch in the interrupting department. Melber is another one who consistently upstages their guests. Rude.

You are correct that Melber upstages, as he has to be the sharpest knife in the attorney drawer.

And he follows up with his insufferable wigger crap.

He needs to be replaced with Katie Phang.

He needs to do weekend recaps.

Just listened on Youtube to O'Donnell's Hope Hicks monologue. Brilliant.

Klasfeld is my type.

Looks like he’s packing, too.

^^^^ Is that a photo from his senior prom ?

Interesting Brian Williams News!

I will be highly disappointed if I don’t see Ayman’s thighs tonight.

How dare O'Donnell mansplain the protests to Alex Wagner!!!

Ayman Being Antisemitic Once Again…

Ayman’s female antisemitic 1st guest sucks.

Re R32's link, I too am a fan of Brian Williams' "rye" sense of humor.

Rachel/Lawrence & Ayman do not see these antisemitic protests the same way.

Now you know why Ayman is buried on a weekend. Lawrence even made a comment this week that there is nothing to watch on the weekends.

Wonder if Ayman is stepping out of line tonight, Mehdi style.

I haven't tuned into to Alex Wagner's show in a long time but watched a little bit last week. She looks totally exhausted and it just seems she is in way over her head for the prime time slot. Put O'Donnell in 9 pm and Katie Phang at 11 pm.

Ayman let Ilhan Omar's dumbass daughter talk about being attacked by a chemical weapon at Columbia without any push back that the chemical weapon was fart spray. A 4th grader would have done a better interview.

“ Interesting Brian Williams News!”

Extremely hard pass. I couldn’t stand his nasal, smarmy, and measured delivery. 🚫

Joy and Rachel up next!

FIRE Ayman! FIRE Alex! Get these antisemites out of here!

Joy's book is on Merlie and Medgar is wonderful. Happy that it was a #1 NYT Bestseller. Loving this program with her and Rachel.

Joy has a book? Why didn’t anyone tell me?

[quote] I get up at 5am to watch the weekend, go back to bed for two hours to get up and watch Katie Phang or Jen Psaki on the weekends.

They do have have newfangled things called DVR's, then you can speed through the commercials.

LawrenceO’Donnell shredded Alex Wagner, Hope Hicks & Dump in one week. Can’t wait to see who is on the list for a takedown next week.

Chris Hayes brother Luke is Jamaal Bowman’s campaign manager. Why didn’t Alex Wagner disclose that before interviewing him?

Antisemitism runs in the family.

r46, I cannot record streams...

People like this don't vote Democratic.

MSNBC's Barb McQuade was on BookTV very early this morning being interviewed by Joyce Vance and WOW she is an entirely different person than when she appears on MSNBC. She is animated and funny with her arms waving around, I was amazed by her demeanor. You can see the interview at the link.

[quote]Chris Hayes brother Luke is Jamaal Bowman’s campaign manager. Why didn’t Alex Wagner disclose that before interviewing him?

Of course he is. But remember, the Hayes family don't hate Jews, they just hate Zionists.

Chris is married to a Jewish woman.

Link to that R53?

[quote]I will be highly disappointed if I don’t see Ayman’s thighs tonight.

I'm highly disappointed I didn't see his cock and balls.

Alex Wagner is Antisemitic and should be fired immediately.

Plus she sucks all around with her Brown education using big words to make her seem smart, but comes off as an entitled asshole.

Does anyone else find her plethora of rings disturbing?

More than three rings = one big red flag

R56 nails it.

R57 What's the red flag ?

All is forgiven if Ayman anchors his show in short shorts.

Ayman needs to wave his pro Palestinian flag into the sunset.

Andy Shaw is Kate Shaw's father. He is a longtime Chicago journalist and was head of investigations at the Better Government Associations. He shortened his nose and his name, which was probably Shapiro. You can find his X feed at @andyshawchicago I cannot be bothered to do more.

So Chris Hayes and his brother are vile antisemites but his wife may or may not be a Jew.

A number of pictures of Chris and his kids in Andy's feed. I will modify my statement. Andy Shaw is Jewish. His daughter Kate who is married to Chris may not be but is of Jewish extraction.

Andy Shaw is known to be a good guy.

Ayman is all Palestine all day. How tiresome.

America Is Not at war with Palestinians, not at war with Israel, but IS AT WAR WITH TERRORISTS.

All those people who want America to take action against Israel are helping Hamas.

STFU and let Joe control his foreign policy.

R59 Johnny Depp levels of cray-cray drama.

Andrew Weissmann had a framed photo of a boy in graduation gear during Jen Psaki’s show.

Is he a dad for real?

Heard he is married to a woman and has a son???

So, Cassidy Hutchinson, tell us what you know about Hope Hicks providing sexual favors to the ENTIRE TRUMP WEST WING.

[quote]Alex Wagner is Antisemitic and should be fired immediately.

[quote]So Chris Hayes and his brother are vile antisemites but his wife may or may not be a Jew.

Damn near everyone on the network has been accused of being antisemitic at one time or another in recent MSNBC threads on the DL. If hiring and firing were based on that, would anyone on air now survive the purge or do they all harbor hatred for Jews and need to go?

Lawrence can stay.

[quote] "Who wants to fuck Joe Scarborough?"

Mika, presumably.

[quote] "Who thinks Alex Wagner & Joy Reid should be fired?"

Pas moi. I don't get the DL hate for either one.

[quote] 'Who thinks Chris Hayes gained too much weight?"

Weight aside: the guy means well, but he's both boring AND annoying. Sort of snivelish, and hyperactive, with an annoying tone.

[quote] "Who thinks Jen Pskai is annoying?"

Pas moi, encore.

[quote] "Who will win The Weekend cat fight- Symone or Alicia?"

I didn't know that was a thing. But from what I can tell, Symone is not a small lady.

[quote] "Who loves Daddy Lawrence O’Donnell?"

I respect and admire his contributions. But that...as they say...is that.

I suppose all those dying to know what Native West Virginian thinks about all this are relieved..

Jonathan Lemire is a Sensationalist News Reader and Access “Journalist.”

[quote] Who wants to fuck Joe Scarborough?

Mika won’t let the Lá Sènatrice anywhere near him. She’s not Mel.

R57, the internet say Andrew's son is named Ben and his wife's name is Debra.

And here’s Raf Sanchez, with his daily dose of Jew hatred….Israel should expel him, like they did Al-Jazeera. Pure Hamas propaganda. I was shocked when he choked out a line about Hamas firing rockets (never mentions this despite it being a daily occurrence for Israelis) into Israel and killing 4 Israelis. .A pox…

Even as someone who finds Joe somewhat fuckable (sue me, he reminds me of an ex), come on. On her best day, Lady G couldn’t snag Scarborough.

Eww to fucking Joe. I'd fuck Willie til he's silly....

What R78 said. Team Willie!

Another vote for Willie. I couldn’t even hate fuck that GQP POS. He still has the stench of Puke Getrich all over him. He was an obnoxious Congressman.

BG on Joy!

BG presents as a bio male. That voice is deeper than most posters here in DL land.

Hers is a harrowing story and Joy is handling the interview with sympathy and compassion.

Joy Reid should hire Brittney's makeup artist.

I’ve always been a huge fan of BG’s since she played in college. I’m glad she’s doing well and I can’t wait to see her play this season.

I find it really hard to believe that Brittney Griner is a bio-woman. Seven feet tall, a voice deeper than James Earl Jones, and no breasts. If she’s intersex or something, she should just say so.

Griner is an idiot and cost another American his chance at freedom.

[quote] "I'd fuck Willie til he's silly...."

Mmm. I want him suited and coiffed as he is on air. With that bit of a Superman curl. I've crushed on him for years. I'd love to crack that shell and introduce him to a few new things.

[quote]Lawrence’s take down of Hicks was a masterclass.

Couldn't agree more, and for that matter, his previous night's recap of the trial and how forlorn Trump was, was too. I call Lawrence "The Preacher" and his sermons (A-Blocks) of late have been on fire!

There is something rich about a woman who is one of the most important voices on the left, who has reduced her work to one day a week and an $85 million dollar contract telling her audience "Now is not the time to check out" Hey Rachel.

^ Imagine all the talent that MSNBC could hire with Rachel's salary.

Fire her now for being a lazy employee.

R91

Fire Alex Wagner and get some top tier talent for 9pm.

I love Rachel but it's true.

Rachel is far from lazy. She uses the extra time to work on more detailed, focused projects like books and podcasts. They’re great.

People criticized her when she had a daily show, people criticize her when she pulled back. She’s easily one of the best news analysts on air right now.

O Donnell reminds me of the guy on Fraser that was smitten with the English woman. He is good because he gives news with a bit of bitchy snark. Joy is good, I don’t see any problems with her. Did anyone see Steve Kornacki covering the Kentucky Derby? He was very intelligent in the way he covered the stats and I was pleasantly surprised to see him.

Rachel, if you’re going to rewrite an author’s words (with her sitting right there) maybe don’t put the actual quote on the screen while you do it.

Young Lawrence

Yes, please.

I want to be Joe Scarborough's Deep Throat.

I’m still trying to figure out why Joy Reid is wearing my uncle’s toupee.

r93, typical passive-aggressive AI Troll.

I love you, but go the fuck away.

Nope, this is the place to be. Love Rachel. No one is like her.

I cannot stand Symone. Cannot. I like Stephanie Ruhle. I like Lawrence.

What did Symone do to draw such ire? She’s feisty and tells it like it is, which is actually an asset given the usual humdrum, stiff personalities (“Sleepy” Andrea Mitchell to name just one).

Interesting, because I can’t stand the both of them. And I’ll throw in Mr. Jose Diaz-Balart. Lord, is he insufferable. Zero spark, asks questions like a five-year-old with upspeak. Rashida!!

I didn’t know that Chris Jansing was such a judgmental school marm. Describing sex as “icky,” and wants all to know she is a “lady” who must clutch her pearls at this “locker room talk” regarding the slattern porn actress. I wonder how long it’s been since she has had her kitty poked. Poor BF/husband.

R105 Diaz-Balart was so obnoxious this morning. Just awful.

Diaz-Bolart almost seems retarded to me.

Chris Jansing is a moron.

Let’s start with the sex

Chris Hayes is pushing maximum density.

They should have stipulated that Rachel return for the last several months of 2024 5 nights a week in her renegotiated contract.

Alex Wagner is no longer an A-List player for Primetime.

Rachel’s Condom Talk is Must See TV.

All TV women must describe sex as icky, or maybe it is just sex with Donald Trump that I would have to agree with.

True to form, Many HaHa Wallace just described today's testimony as "icky."

Grown-assed women acting like preteen girls. Sad.

[quote] Rachel is far from lazy. She uses the extra time to work on more detailed, focused projects like books and podcasts.

Does Rachel really have books and podcasts? I had no idea! She's so humble that she never mentions them. She obviously hates self-promotion.

Ari looks like Fred Flintstone.

Shave, dude.

Joy Reid is not flinching over the spanking comment.

Seems like some of the other grown ass women anchors are acting prude.

Such a good interview that Joy conducted with Britney Griner. You could see how happy she was for BG now that she’s a soon-to-be mom.

R54, I think I’ve told this before… a friend was at U of M with Barb McQuade. They lived in law school housing, and according to my pal, Barb and her BF (now her husband) had earth shatteringly noisy sex on a nightly basis. And good for her, say I.

Chris Hayes is giggling over the Stormy Sex Talk.

Seriously these people are married with kids and act like they never fucked anyone before.

I like when Ari is scruffy. Grrrrr.

Rachel/Lawrence/Alex are at least making jokes about it.

I am a stranger in your land, says the lesbian.

Jesus, Lawrence, stop saying "the hole".

To be fair, Rachel only has experience with scissoring.

[quote] Chris Hayes is giggling over the Stormy Sex Talk.

Chris has been breaking out into giggling fits quite a bit lately. One night I was wondering if he was stoned because it was really over the top. There wasn't really anything funny going on but he was giggling his ass off.

"...a bouquet of whiskey."

Chris also referred to the sex between Stormy and Jabba the Trump as “icky.” WTF? You’re a grown ass man, married, with kids! You’re talking like a bitchy 12 year old girl.

I generally Lisa Ruben, but at this moment while she’s on Lawrence O’Donnell show, she needs to just SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

She’s way over exposed, talks too much, and can be insufferably manic.

^^^^^^^^^^

*I generally like Lisa Ruben….

I'm torn about the Wilma Flintstone necklace Lisa Ruben is wearing.

Lisa Rubin obviously hates Trump, I like her.

Andrew Weissmann and Neal Katayal are the only 2 legals I can handle plus that cute Adam Klasfeld.

Lisa Rubin needs to STFU.

Lisa's baroque pearl necklace is a classic.

She's going out tonight.

Love Lisa Rubin!

But it IS icky.

Someone finally gave Molly Jong-Fast a makeover! Sweet Jaysus! It’s not perfect, but a great improvement. At least she looks like a real, live person, not a corpse. She’s not ugly.

[quote]She’s not ugly.

If you say so. 🙄

Molly’s mother wrote one of the definitive, sexual feminist books of all time.

You thought people didn’t know? Lol. Everyone over there is a nepo baby.

Yes, Lisa Rubin really dominated the discussion last night on O'Donnell. She needs to reign herself in on explanations - particularly with having Adam, Andrew and Lawrence at the table. If I were a show producer I might hesitate to have her on.

Adam is so busy looking at his binder it takes him awhile to get his point across.

I like Lisa Rubin. I think Weismann and Katayal are much too optimistic about the legal system.

Team Lisa and Baroque Pearls.

You can't clutch those.

Lisa and her Wilma Flintstone Ba-Rock Pearls

Is it Lisa Rubin, or Ruben like the sandwich.

Where’d that Reuben woman come from? Never saw her until the past few weeks?

John Heilemann has lost weight, you can see it in his face.

John Heilemann is one of those fat in the face with spaghetti string legs that make him look so odd when they picture him sitting at the desk with Joe or Nicolle.

I don’t see antagonism from Lawrence O’Donnell to Alex Wagner.

*

But R129 imagining Trump having sex is icky. He thinks of himself as a Don Juan, Lothario, and he is a fucking joke.

Ari Melber has this fucking RFK, Jr on. Why is he giving this freakshow a platform?

Does RFK have brain damage? This dude can’t even spit out a coherent sentence.

He does! A worm eat part of his brain.

Letting him self-destruct like he did with Navarro, r153?

Did he sniff tequila?

Who wants to fuck Joe Scarborough? Not even with Mika's dick, but give me a shot at Andrew Ross Sorkin and his two different colored eyes.

Who thinks Alex Wagner & Joy Reid should be fired? I would need to know who is replacing them.

Who thinks Chris Hayes gained too much weight? Don't care either way

Who thinks Jen Pskai is annoying? Not at all.

Who will win The Weekend cat fight- Symone or Alicia? Michael Steele

Who loves Daddy Lawrence O’Donnell? Like not love.

Ari will interview anyone. I suppose he is newsworthy. I switched it off. Can’t listen to that voice or what it’s saying.

Lisa Rubin tries to dominate every segment, particularly those "outside the courthouse updates" shared with the grey-haired woman whose name escapes me. The male attorneys see through Rubin's act, while the women are slower on the uptake.

Meanwhile, Neal Katyal apparently has sufficient, and seems depressed. I hope it's only temporary, as I'm Team Katyal.

What's under Claire's glass dome? Is it pink?

Answering my own question at R159: Susan Craig

No Lawrence tonight, Capehart is covering. I'm going to bed.

r159, time to cue Chuck Rosenberg...

Susanne, r161.

Thanks, R164.

Stephanie Rhule coming at Molly Jong- Fast.

Hillary and author of "Suffs" on. Hillary had good surgery.

No surgery, Hillary is a jolly old grandmother who was never aged by the presidency. Like Trump.

Nicolle has prairie hair.

r49 stop this silliness. get Sling TV which includes a cloud-based DVR. Will help you get some more weekend zzz’s.

Andrew Weissmann’s face during the spanking comment.

He might need a safe word soon.

Deadline White House: Time to settle-in for a rousing laughfest featuring Andrew Weissman, Lisa Rubin and Susanne Craig. Nicolle Wallace degrades everyone she touches.

[quote]Nicolle Wallace degrades everyone she touches.

She’s a typical Republican.

Many HaHa Wallace might be an idiot savant whose talent is political science. Seriously.

Ari makes anything ponderous and boring including rap.

Antisemitic Mehdi go away.

Take a drink every time they say Necklace.

Lisa has the evening baroque pearls on again.

Girl is going out.

NBC has one very bad courtroom artist and one OK one. The bad one does a lovely handsome Trump, and an odd lumpy Stormy.

One needs to be replaced.

Those sketches are awful.

Jake Tapper does courtroom sketches, too. They're pretty good.

Chris Hayes is EXTRA tonight.

They had Lawrence on today while the trial was on break and he looked 20 years older than he does on his show. Kudos to the show's makeup crew. They work miracles!

Lawrence had titties in his face???

Amy Lumet in photo at R184: daughter of Sidney Lumet; granddaughter of Lena Horne; and former wife of the late PJ O'Rourke.

Fuck Kasich

me me me me Symone me

Stephanie Rhule is in Paris with her daughter for Taylor Swift.

This woman takes off soo many working days, just give her show to Symone already.

Symone has exceeded my expectations. I just wish she wouldn't wear form-fitting stripes.

Stephanie Rhule likes to show off her privileged, rich lifestyle.

Damn Al Sharpton on Deadline White House is looking a rough 69 years old, I thought he must be in his 80's but no he is 69.

^^Black Do Crack

Remember when MSNBC loved having Michael Cohen on their shows & now….

He’ll be back, R193, after he testifies.

Stephanie Ruhle reminds me of a drunk at a honky tonk.

Ruhle is probably a very sloppy drunk.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed upthread but do you think Stormy Daniels will guest on any MSNBC show soon and, if so, which one? Is she legally allowed?

She sounded so sharp and bright in the court transcripts I'm almost expecting to see her soon as a regular talking head on Morning Joe.

R193 I believe he's testifying on Monday. He sure knows how to press Trump's buttons.

Symone: wearing white onscreen is discouraged because of the solid light strain to the viewer's vision. When you're thrice the size of the average tv personality, that glare can be downright blinding! Remember, too, the camera adds ten pounds, and white is not known for its slimming effects.

Take notice of your colleagues - no sensible woman among them wears a solid white top or dress on air.

Ruhle in white

Psaki

My using the word "sensible" was deliberate.

Next up: Joy Ann Reid.

Adam Klasfeld is such a cutie but his halting delivery pales next to ramrod Lisa Rubin.

Lisa's a flood of information and Adam has a hard time putting his thoughts together.

I don't think Andrew Weissman likes sharing segment time with them on O'Donnell's show.

Where can we buy Michael Cohen's cute Trump in Jail tee-shirt?

Joy...white

Is Lawrence still dating Mary-Louise Parker?

She IS bright and articulate (which we often see, AREN'T the same thing). She graduated from a Baton Rouge magnet school at a time when that school was top-notch. It's just too bad she had shit parents, because someone so pretty, with the quick intelligence she has, should not have had to put her tits and ass on full display just to make rent.

Nicolle is right; there IS such a difference in how Stormy has been treated/perceived compared with Hope Hicks and that other Trump aide who testified earlier this week.

She was fucking GOLD back when the reprobate David Vitter was vying for the Louisiana GOP nomination for governor.

I love Alex, and Chris is super-jacked. Laurence needs to retire after the election.

[quote]and Chris is super-fat.

Fixed.

It’s Lawrence, and fuck you.

^Hi Lawrence!

Suzanne Craig talks too much.

[quote] Suzanne Craig talks too much.

Hold my beer.

Maybe they read Jen Psaki's new book, SAY MORE.

“ Suzanne Craig talks too much.”

- Lisa Ruben

Andrew + Ari hate Lisa Ruben??

Hugo Lowell. Exotically handsome.

He's the Brit substitute for the Arab they got rid of.

[quote]Andrew + Ari hate Lisa Ruben??

She bulldozed into their lane.

Ayman is Antisemitic & Misogynist.

Shame on Molly Jong Fast as a so-called feminist kissing up to Ayman’s misogynistic comments about Hillary Clinton.

Symone + Michael Steele are a team.

Alicia is their plus one.

I am not much of a fan of Alicia but her role is hurt by being in a different studio than Symone and Michael Steele. Alicia is in New York and Symone and Michael are in DC,

Alicia looks like she’s pregnant. Anyone know?

[quote]…and Chris is super-jacked...

Chris who…?

R226, I think the poster was referring to Chris Hayes.

Would you people stop plugging each other's books?

I wouldn’t mind some plugging. It’s to be expected. But I don’t want to see each MSNBC author on every other MSNBC show with entire segments given over to their book promotions and every other host slathering on the praise, not to mention shilling for book tours. It’s disrespectful to the audience.

I'm sick of Jen Psaki. Talk about special treatment. MSNBC treated her like she was superior to every other host from day one and I'd hate her if I were one of the longtime hosts. But she's like an amateur compared to the special treatment Rachel gets.

I'm sick of Andrew Weissman too. He's on EVERY fucking show and his voice drives me up the wall plus it seems to me he often just says what he knows most people want to hear. I'd much rather watch Lisa Rubin. Adam is cute but they don't really need him.

I can't stand Molly Nepo-Baby. Most annoying voice on the planet and eyeball searing hair.

r230, unlike you, most people don't sit at home watching MSNBC all day and all night so they don't see those guests recurring all day and all night.

I think most people who watch MSNBC watch more than one show a day

Says R231 who spends all their time on Data Lounge ROFL.

r230, I sit at home watching MSNBC all day and all night so I see those guests recurring all day and all night.

It depends on the plugger and the plugged.

Joy's book is kinda singular and her plugging it is a one note that even Rachel and The Apollo couldn't breathe life into.

Every book written by Rachel and Andrew and Melissa are destined for Poli Sci classes for decades. They are foundational.

Jen Psaki held a unique position and her book is revelatory while being a Biden warrior. Her access to the Biden WH is incalculable for MSNBC.

The Velshi book seems uninteresting.

Plus I am on the MSNBC high watcher list that gets polled all the time. The last proctoscope was about Capehart. He needs to be moved up earlier on weekends, Velshi and Ayman needs to be sent to oblivion.

More Psaki, less Symone.

Take a drink every time Jen Psaki says “I’ve worked for two US Presidents!”

Take another one every time Nicolle says “I was working in the White House on September 11th.”

R230 why do you watch MSNBC if so many people annoying you, I love all the people you seem to hate except for Molly horrible hair Jong-Fast.

If they stopped watching, R237, people like R230 would be deprived of the the opportunity to bitch about it here. They're not about to give that up.

[quote]More Psaki, less Symone.

I don't think so. Symone livens up the joint, and she worked side by side with Kamala.

Get off your sanctimonious high horse, R238. YOU bitch about me so who the hell are you to scold anyone else about bitching.

Did Psaki get a nose job?

[quote] Symone livens up the joint, and she worked side by side with Kamala.

Working with Kamala is probably not going to be the golden career highlight one might wish

How much work “with Kamala” did Symone actually do? She was in that position less than a year.

Alicia’s dad’s trial starts today.

IT IS TOO EARLY FOR CHRIS JANSING!!

Mika looked Iike shit today. Must've had a busy weekend.

Too much Starbucks sugar...

[quote] Alicia’s dad’s trial starts today.

It is going to be interesting to see how this trial is handled on MSNBC especially on Alicia'a show The Weekend.

Well considering that most of MSNBC is 100% Trump trial, it’s no mystery to me. They won’t cover it much, if at all.

r249, fine with me.

Me, too.

is Lemire trimming down?

Katy Tur doing her best to trash Michael Cohen and prop up Trump.

Is anybody else unable to set this thread for watching? The eye is gone for me but ONLY on this thread.

LISA RUBEN TALKS TOO FUCKING MUCH!!

She’s the monopolizing Queen of rambling commentary.

I LOVE Lisa RubIn, but she does need to reign it in. I hope someone speaks. to her.

Katy Tur is trying real hard today…

Lawrence took Katy Tur down too.

He’s having too much fun basically telling Alex Wagner & Katy Tur how unsmart they are.

[quote] Is anybody else unable to set this thread for watching? The eye is gone for me but ONLY on this thread.

OMG really dude? What did you do to piss off Muriel, you in big trouble now.

It bugs me when people pronounce Michael Cohen's last name as Cone.

Everyone thinks they're a lawyer. I had to switch to CNN during Jasmine & Jansing's 11AM mouth frothing barstool litigating.

[quote]It bugs me when people pronounce Michael Cohen's last name as Cone

Tell me about it.

r256, only a queen can reign it in.

Katy Tur signing off their broadcast and saying goodbye, Chris Jansing says good to have you back, and Katy Tur instead of saying thanks, say, "Yes"

This trial is on fucking loop.

Where’s the Biden news?

You caught that, too, R264!

I used to adore Katy, but since that second child she's been doing way too much extra.

Katy Tur is jealous and gonna burn it all down.

She wants to sit at the table at 8pm, but instead has to babysit Andrea Mitchell.

What did Katy Tur say today that got her trending on twitter?

Katy Turd is obviously auditioning for a spot on Fox News.

Sad to see Katy decline. I think it’s the tranny dad, two kids, and Tony’s cheating. She’s floundering as Andrea Mitchell’s babysitter. She really needs a break, or to just take a deep breath and slither over to FauxNews.

Imagine you are Katy Tur and see Alex Wagner & Jen Psaki climb into Primetime. While Turd has been there forever trying to get the big promotions.

Unlike other anchors, Katy never seems to guest on anyone else's show.

Ari’s wiglet isn’t sitting in its usual place today.

[quote]Sad to see Katy decline. I think it’s the tranny dad, two kids, and Tony’s cheating.

Sorry, Tony's what?? Details, please!

Hah.

Clearly, Rachel does not see Michael Cohen as any kind of hero.

Rachel acting her heart out tonight.

Are there really no better courtroom artists than those whose work we see on MSNBC? Most of the drawings are like badly observed cartoons.

Is Chrissy Hayes working on a Monday night?

Nice to see Rachel, Lawrence, Katie Phang, Nicolle & Chris Hayes for tonight's analysis of Cohen's testimony.

Be a Katie Phang, not a Lisa Rubin.

But where is Joy?

I like the tie Chris Hayes is wearing.

[quote]Unlike other anchors, Katy never seems to guest on anyone else's show.

She seems like she could be a real bitch when the cameras are off. Nobody else probably wants her on their shows.

Chris Hayes wife is an attorney, and he is posing legal questions that he claims "he has been wondering about" why not ask your wife.

Chris needs to go see someone better for his hair. That's an atrocious cut.

He's got (seemingly) good hair; he needs to find someone that knows how best to cut it.

R285, Chris’s wife may not be a criminal lawyer or even a litigator.

One of the drawings of Michael Cohen doesn’t look anything like him. It’s kind of amazing.

[quote]Unlike other anchors, Katy never seems to guest on anyone else's show

Same could be said about that Reid woman; does no one ask that she cover in their absence? She would jump at the chance to host during the actual prime time, 8:00pm to 11:00pm.

R288, I agree. Cohen is way sexier.

Some of those courtroom drawings are very overwrought with lines and swirls that age the faces of Cohen and Stormy and even lovely Hope Hicks.

Uh oh, the "unreigned" Lisa Rubin has just joined the panel. Ari and Catherine Christian, you may as well just go home.

Yes R286, that haircut is awful.

Why do they confine the luscious Danny Cevallos to only the morning hours?

That may be what Danny wants.

Chris Hayes is very extra. I'm not sure what he really brings to the table.

Lisa Rubin has done a much better job tonight of giving concise analysis. Agree about Chris Hayes being extra -- he's a bit of a drama queen waving his hands around.

They keep seating poor Adam Klasfeld practically in Lisa's lap so whenever she on camera talking, he's in the shot, too, having to nod and nod and nod, when he's probably desperately trying to think of what to say that she hasn't already said.

Adam Klasfeld sometimes gets so excited when called on to speak that he seems to get tongue tied and can't express his thoughts.

[quote]Why do they confine the luscious Danny Cevallos to only the morning hours?

I've sometimes seen him on the NBC Evening News, although not frequently.

Maybe he works at his non media job.

Cevallos is Chuck Rosenberg lite. He has taken over "the prosecution has not made its case" Debbie Downer legal commentator.

It appears that Danny wants a video of Trump signing a contract with Pecker and Cohen, declaring he is paying off women before the election to defraud the election laws and will not pay them after as it would save cash and be unnecessary. And that Cohen is a sworn liar. Like Cevallos would have problems with the corroborated testimony of Sammy "The Bull" Gravano against John Gotti.

I much prefer the temperate Cevallos/Rosenberg/Honig (CNN) model to the uniformity of opinion otherwise seen on MSNBC.

Watching Lisa Rubin yesterday, I was wondering who at MSNBC reads Data Lounge, because she was definitely a little more low key.

Or more likely, no one reads Data Lounge, and TPTB also thought she needed to be REINED in.

(Not reigned - sorry about that - how did I escape an "Oh, dear"?) .

Who thinks Alex Wagner & Joy Reid should be fired?

I do.

Alex Wagner's voice is like nails of chalkboard. Inexcusable that she feels we must accept that voice with no effort by her to be pleasant.

Joy Reid because she is a duplicitous lying cunt.

While awaiting the cross-examination to begin, fucking Katy Turd is pressing Michael Steele to define the word "media?" Bitch, you are barking up the wrong tree.

The fact that the word media is plural for medium, seems to escape most of those working in the media.

SMH

Watching MSNBC's coverage this afternoon, the segment they were interviewing Chris Hayes on the street. In the studio, who's the good looking guy sitting next to the black dude with the gray beard? I don't think I've seen him before. 🥵

R288 I said the same thing when they showed that drawing. He looks more like Rock Hudson in his sad last days.

R304 I like Joy’s enthusiasm for bashing Trump and MAGA fuckfaces when they’re caught being assholes and dicks - like, every day, so she can stay. Alex, on the other hand… You hit the bullseye about that awful, grating voice. I can’t watch her show because of it.

There's a Rachel panel tonight at 8.

I really don't like this L shaped panel table for MSNBC coverage, people have to learn forward to talk to the host. A round or oval table works much better, the conversation seems to flow better in the round.

[quote]Joy Reid because she is a duplicitous lying cunt.

It's called a life. Seek one out and grab it.

FIRE KATY TURD.

Interesting to see critical post-Access Hollywood reaction by Molly Hemingway. Since Trump's election, nary a contrary word about Trump has this worst of the worst pundits uttered.

WTF with no Reid Outs this week. Fuck Ari and I don’t mean that in a good way. Joy’s capable of talking about Trump’s court case and getting law experts as guests.

I hate that red and black set. It looks like it was made with licorice.

Totally agree, r315! And what are all those XXX supposed to represent?

What's with Chris Hayes, Alex Wagner, and Rachel Maddow...three non-legal blowhards hosting this roundtable to discuss the trial?

Rachel's hair looks great tonight

Seriously MSNBC has 24/7 coverage of this trial minus Morning Joe who only does a segment.

CNN is even reporting other stories at times. Media is failing us because where are the Biden stories???

Symone is calling this out on X, but why isn’t she bringing it up louder and to the bosses.

Because this is ratings and the bosses want it.

That dress makes Lisa Rubin look "big as a house."

Why are all the panelists shouting?

Chris Hayes, tell us one more time you where in the courthouse today.

Charles Coleman is yummy.

Lisa has what we used to call a "Junoesque" figure and would do well with some soft tailoring to give her some straight lines and angles.

[quote] Seriously MSNBC has 24/7 coverage of this trial minus Morning Joe who only does a segment.

MSNBC's only mission is to attack republicans and campaign for democrats. News is only incidental if they squeeze it in at all. It's called MSDNC for a reason.

Joy is probably on vacation.

Not only are they 100% Trump trial, but they all have the same basic take: The case is solid and the prosecution is winning. There is a more diverse set of reactions available on CNN.

Apparently, Fox had been ignoring the trial until recently. Their attention corresponds to the sudden interest of GOP politicians showing up. Not sure why the change.

^Yes, Fox is all in on the cross of Cohen.

And they call Fox News Faux News, R324. And if you think MSNBC is merely the Democratic version of Fox News, I have 780 million ( and counting) reasons to disabuse of that notion.

The Times noticed

The "straight-news operation" ended when Microsoft sold its interest in the company

I don't know why John Heilemann puts up with joe's rudeness to him over and over. Joe went after him as if Heilemann was responsible for the NYT poll being discussed. I think elitist Joe overestimates the impact anything from NYT has on the majority of voters. Again, the east coast does not influence many of the nation's voters outside the beltway and NY demographics. Just my opinion. I may be wrong.

Since he's been more visible (again) lately, what's the story on John Heilemann?

I don't mean the standard question. of straight/gay (he reads as very straight to me.). Where's he come from? What's his political background? His personal background? What's with the tat on the back of his hand? How'd he end up on MSNBC?

Okay. I will ask. Has anyone seen him shirtless?

I hope MSNBC stays leftist/progressive. With Fox News, we desperately need a counterbalance. And it should be in its DNA. Phil Donahue was supposed to be an early anchor, but supposedly Chris Matthews managed to bump him off. Then Keith Olbermann became King - and Ed Schultz was very labor/left oriented until they dumped him - and he went to RT! Oh what crazy days but it was the beginning, and imo, the only hope for this drifting to theocratic-fascist country.

Maybe MSNBC simply needs to change its name - and drop the "NBC" part, to appease red state affiliates and such.

Fuck red state affiliates.

Did anyone see those two Georgia MAGAs just now--the blonde who said Trump is a billionaire and doesn't have to run but he's running because he has the biggest heart in the world. How can anyone be so deluded? Fuck her with Lindsay Graham's dildo.

I want to see Biden and Trump debate just a little more than I'd like to have a foot fungus. Re-elect Joe, make the other one go away, flip the house, and leave us in piece.

[quote] I want to see Biden and Trump debate just a little more than I'd like to have a foot fungus.

From link below:

Jason Selvig: What do you think are more dangerous to children, drag shows or guns?

Trump supporter: Drag Shows

Janson: How many people do you think have been killed in a drag show?

Trump supporter: Un, I don't know but the long term affects are detrimental.

Jason: How many people you think die every year from Guns?

Trump supporter: I have no idea.

Jason: 48,000

Trump supporter: 48,000 well okay there are probably a 100,000 that die from drag shows.

^The sad thing is he actually believes that

Trumptard trash.

George Conway is on Deadline White House trying to goad Trump into testifying by saying Trump was scared to testify. He looked right into the camera and said Trump won't testify because he is scared

Many HaHa Wallace is having a rollicking good time today; the laughs just keep coming!

Sick bitch really cannot control herself.

You just watch Dead Line White House to you can bitch about, don't you?

I hope Many HaHa is noting Charlie Sykes' lecture on the media's trivialization of democracy; he's talking to you, Nicolle.

Wow! Now Mark Elias is piling it on. Good on them.

I wish MSNBC wouldn't show so many closeups of Trump's face. When I see them I feel like I'm going to lose my lunch.

I love Nicolle and her interview with Whoopi is gold.

Now on YT.

[quote] Interesting to see critical post-Access Hollywood reaction by Molly Hemingway. Since Trump's election, nary a contrary word about Trump has this worst of the worst pundits uttered.

Here it is. Starting at 3:57.

What did Katy Turd do today?

Marc Pitzke, German journalist. Has a gay hair cut.

Anybody know anything about him?

JJ in for Joy. They’re currently discussing Angela Alsobrooks’s primary Maryland win.

Alicia in for Chris.

Well Chris did work Monday his usual day off, you can't expect hosts to work a five day week.

Alex Wagner is a DISGRACE.

R354, don't know if Alex Wagner is a disgrace but she is in way over her head. I just can't figure out how she got this time slot - she is unable to provide unique insight into the issues of the day. She looks exhausted this year.

She always looks exhausted. I'm going to bet that Alex sees the big picture and offers to leave before she's fired. Though perhaps that won' t be before the election.

Alex Wagner had a show on MSNBC once before it was called Now with Alex Wagner (2011–2015)

Lawrence loses points for shilling for Luke Russert, still milking his father's death.

Lawrence has known Luke since Luke was a kid and both Tim and Lawrence worked for Senator Moynihan. He gets a pass.

The men on Morning Joe this morning loved torturing poor Mika. Joe, Willie, Lemiere and Heilman kept up the Tom Brady talk and Mika was losing her shit. Poor Joyce Vance just weathered the storm.

For Gawd’s sake would someone over there learn how to light walking corpse Molly Jong-Fast?!? Also, she got a brief makeover, and had a better look for a few days, but she clearly doesn’t take her anti-depressants and is determined to look like a Methdaone Clinic client. If you’re determined to have her on, at least make her presentable for tv. Sweet Jaysus.

[quote] He looked right into the camera and said Trump won't testify because he is scared

A double dog dare breach of protocol. This is only to be used after the initial dare has been refused.

I agree R344 . Judging by the results of hitting the ignore button, I believe the same poster bitching about Deadline White House is also thread OP. They took over the MSNBC threads awhile ago just to bitch and complain with their nicknames I'm sure they think are clever and witty (they're not). Beyond that, they have nothing to add. Probably a MAGA troll.

The DL MSNBC threads use to be for fans and level-headed critique, not deranged elementary school playground name calling. I noticed the same thing has happened with the "Treason" threads. We had the same OP over there for a long time, then someone else stole it. I used to follow both, but have lost them since they've been usurped.

What difference does it make who OPs the continuation?

The thread used to deal solely with the hotness of men on MSNBC.

Yes, and there is a bonanza of men on MSNBC that one can fantasize about. It's unreal sometimes.

Is OP the one who came up with the stupid nickname “Many HaHa” for Nicolle?

The Ford pardon of Nixon wasn't controversial, Lawrence?!

Yes, R357, and it was AWFUL.

My middle sister loved that show, as well as the one with Dylan Ratigan (who, to me was sooooo ADHD I couldn't listen to/watch him), and that roundtable one with Toure, Krystal Ball, and one other (to me) non-entity. She even loved the weekend show with Kornacki.

Though she can buy and sell me 1000x, that shit really made me doubt my sister's mental competence.

She was so happy when Alex got that new gig, but even she has acknowledged Wagner has been a disappointment.

Catherine Christianson is a fucking star ⭐️

Cohen says Tur was a favorite Trump reporter to plant positive stories about Trump

Katy, how could you? You're on my shit list now.

FINALLY, the truth about Katy Tur's shadiness.

Nancy Pelosi has had this bitch’s number for a while, of course.

#TurnoffTur is trending on Twitter.

What did Katy do? What did I miss?

She was outed by Michael Cohen as a key media contact he used to plant positive stories about Trump.

Mama Nancy Pelosi will cut that Katy Tur bitch.

Sucks to be you, Katy.

Joe has “when I was in congress” and now apparently Nicole has “I was a juror twice”.

I guess everyone needs a catchphrase.

Lapsed viewer here watching a lot this week while house sitting. My take: Rachel is the best teacher; Lawrence is the best speech writer; Nicolle is the best interviewer. (SHE should have Meet the Press.)

Ari is a piece of work drilling down into the weeds of Cohen's veracity.

How truthful was Sammy The Bull?

But otherwise, Ari has 60 mins of silence to fill.

I find I just can’t listen to Ari anymore. He’s boring, in addition to often being irritating.

Ari spends so much time trying to prove he's a renegade, that all it proves is that he is a fool.

Katy Tur can’t even try to claim that this is just some nasty rumor. Cohen testified about it under oath in court.

Sexy Lawrence!!!!!

[quote]Ari spends so much time trying to prove he's a renegade, that all it proves is that he is a fool.

On the bright side, at least he's staying on topic without showing off his extensive knowledge of hip hop.

MSNBC’s corporate parent, Comcast, staged a rare intervention over the left-leaning network’s rampant criticism of Israel during its coverage of the deadly Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas, 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝒀𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔.

MSNBC anchors Ayman Mohyeldin, Mehdi Hasan and Ali Velshi, who are all Muslim, interviewed guests who suggested the shocking Hamas cross-border invasion — which slaughtered around 1,200 Israelis, including women and children — was the result of “failed policies” by the US and Israel.

The tenor of MSNBC’s coverage that Saturday morning prompted Comcast president Michael Cavanagh to convey his concerns to Cesar Conde, chairman of NBCUniversal News Group, the division that includes MSNBC, NBC News and CNBC, according to the New York Times.

The NBCUniversal News boss then issued a directive to his subordinates at MSNBC to focus on the facts and give less weight to opinions and commentary, the Times reported.

Time for Ayman to go to Mehdi land.

Was that Mika's other brother?

R388

Hope Alex Wagner/ Joy Reid/ Chris Hayes got the fucking memo.

^they did not.

I was watching MSNBC on the morning of October 7. I found the coverage off-putting and unbalanced, especially putting Diana Buttu front and center to basically excuse away Hamas before the bodies even stopped bleeding. A while later. Ali Velshi travelled to Israel and was surprised by the damage inflicted by Hamas’ everyday bombing. Maybe it was my imagination, but his tone seemed to change.

But these perspectives are valuable. I support Israel, just as I support America, but that doesn’t mean either should be free from criticism, The NYT is rolling out a three part story on how Israeli settlers in the West Bank (and previously in Gaza) persecuted Palestinians with the tacit or explicit support of the government and the military. Told by Israelis, not just Palestinians and Arabs. Is this anti-Semitic just because it’s unflattering?

Chris Hayes did an extremely balanced interview with an Israeli dissident on his podcast. Calling him an anti-Semite is way out of line. But that seems to be what people do now (see; “genocide!” and “racist” and “colonialist”) to feel righteous.

Chris Hayes went on a tirade about civilian deaths in Gaza and concluded that it was entirely up to Netanyahu to stop the war as if Hamas had no responsibility for the war and the hostages were immaterial. I haven’t watched his show since.

Was this the story, r394?

I don’t know, and I’m not going to listen to it.

Well, that’s the point. He explicitly holds Hamas accountable for the friendly fire deaths of three hostages in December. He then asks why Israelis would shoot people waving a white flag and surrendering. Which leads him to argue that Israel needs to stop the war to protect the hostages and the Gazan civilians.

Personally, I disagree (stopping the war would just set up future conflicts that take more lives). But it’s not an anti-Semitism to say that the civilian casualties are tragic.

I didn’t accuse him of antisemitism.

I accused him of blaming Israel alone for the war as if they were just bombing civilians out of vengeance and not fighting an enemy force that was still holding hostages.

I used to follow Hayes on Twitter. He would regularly repost stories that show how the Israelis in a bad light, like the one below. His allegiance is clear.

The level of Jew hatred @ MSNBC has made me question why I watch it (as I have since it’s inception) at all. The most bigoted remarks go unchallenged. I no longer watch Joy Reid, Chris Coughlin-Hayes, or Alex Hamas. Haters all and quite the distributors of Hamas disinformation.

Sam Harris just published a piece about why American youth are siding with Hamas. In it, he points out that the ruling family of Qatar are flowers of the Muslim Brotherhood and have donated billions of dollars to elite western universities to fund Middle Eastern Studies departments and that through this route progressive ideology on campuses has incorporated a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel bent which, of course, is passed on by the faculty to the students.

This is one reason why “progressives” are anti-Israel. Their allegiance has been purchased with oil wealth.

^followers

Watching MSNBC with Tur and Black outreach to Black men.

What a bunch of dumbasses.

They don't understand politics and how politics moves policy.

Saw this Trymaine Lee report this morning on Morning Joe about outreach or lack there of to the Black Community, I don't get it.

I don't expect Democrats to reach out to me, I don't think they ever have except for donations. I vote Democratic because their policies align with mine and Republican policies definitely don't. I don't need to be reached out to. Can anyone enlighten me as to why some blacks won't support the party that supports them without outreach?

If you’re so obtuse that you can’t see what Twitler actually is, or how extremely racist he has always been, perhaps consider that you might be too stupid to vote. Biden has appointed more Black judges than any other POTUS, His running mate alone should tell you what you need to know. Morons.

R390 Matt Brzezinski is Mika’s cousin

Alex Wagner needs NYC lighting.

LA ain’t doing this Antisemite any favors.

Atlanta DA Fani Willis will be be Rachel's guest interview Monday

IMHO Fani Willis has no business giving interviews right now, her job is to prosecute, not interview. This will only cause Fani more problems.

You think the case she’s been working on for years can’t afford a day off?

I wonder if Fani will have another quickie before the interview and come on wearing her dress backwards again

Symone looks ridiculous with those claw-nails. It’s completely unprofessional.

[quote] You think the case she’s been working on for years can’t afford a day off?

No I think every time Fani makes public appearances and talks about the case it complicates the case against Trump.

NYC makeup artists are kinder to Symone than those in DC.

R411 - “Symone looks ridiculous with those claw-nails. It’s completely unprofessional.”

I agree. And seriously, how does she properly wipe without making her vage and butt hole looklike a julienne salad. I think I’m gonna puke.

uhoh

Only 39% of Black Protestants say Israel’s fight against Hamas is “justified” compared to 74% of white evangelicals and 69% of white mainline Protestants.

Those black voters at R415 are complete fucking idiots if they are not voting/supporting Biden. The modern GOP is basically the 1920s KKK.

I'm looking forward to the day when Black voters overwhelmingly support Biden again and all the articles predicting the "drastic shift" of the Black electorate towards Trump and the Republicans are proven to be nothing more than sensationalist bullshit. Every damn election cycle, we hear some variation of this and as a Black man, I'm sick of it.

Just pathetic mind games by yokels who have never met a Black person.

Ayman is a fucking ANTISEMITE!!!

Of course. He's a Muslim.

Does Rachel Maddow get BOTOX?

Did Ayman get fired? They're running this Maddow program in place of his regular show?

Ayman just went off. His show is Sat/Sun 7-9 EST.

I don’t like the new set up on Ayman. When a guest is on set, he needs to be out in the middle at that round table, not up against the screen, so we can see those big thighs and legs.

Good Lord. The nails.

If they are going to keep Velshi, then Ayman needs a single evening weekend hour a day to spew his veiled pro-Hamas bilge.

And for the love of all media, Rashida, move The Weekend to open for Katie/Jen on Sat/Sunday and move Velshi to AFTER Katie/Jen. I would rather not watch Velshi than not watch Alex Witt. Ali and Alex are insufferable.

I like Lawrence, but Lawrence is getting more and more hyperbolic in his opening monologue. I keep telling the TV, "Okay already, Lawrence. Move on." But he doesn't listen.

Alexi McCammond. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz,

I agree with the above poster, R428. Lately, Lawrence O’Donnell is chewing the scenery. Just get to it, Larry. But consistently winner is Ms Maddow. She’s the Queen of a rambling, pontificating, self aggrandizing, and insufferable know-it-all. Nicole Wallace gives a decent and concise opening monologue, without the drivel.

Lawrence is the reason that lawmakers, and I use that term loosely, have started showing up at Trump's Trial. For days Lawrence mocked Trump for having no friends, no one even relatives showing up at his trial. Lawrence went at it heavily the day Lawrence claimed that Trump noticed him in the audience and had an angry look on his face that Lawrence was there. Lawrence claims Trump watches his show all the time but I am sure Trump watched the day that he saw Lawrence in the audience to see what Lawrence would say.

Biden is giving the Morehouse graduation address now. I only see one asshole so far in the audience with his back turned.

[quote] I only see one asshole so far in the audience with his back turned.

Great speech. Great delivery. Trump eat your heart out.

[quote] But Trump watches Lawrence.

Or so Lawrence claims

Lisa is going in for the Trump kill on Jen Psaki.

She said it all.

Pecker told the truth.

Cohen told the truth on all corroborated points.

Stormy said she fucked Trump.

Trump said he didn't.

Trump is the only uncorroborated liar.

Trump guilty on all counts, both charges.

4 hour morning deliberation.

How does Judge Merchan move on to SENTENCING?

Will Trump go to jail for the contempt charges first?

And what about Naomi?

Who's Naomi?

r438, And what about Naomi - was a tag line on a Carol Burnett soap opera skit.

For me, it sums up the Trump Clown Show.

Put Trump in jail ASAP to get through the riots before the heat of the summer.

I like Symone a lot but she’s very long winded and tends to dominate the conversation. Also she tends to verbally stumble a bit. No where near as bad as Jonathan Capehart, which is mainly why I had to stop watching him, but hopefully with more experience, Symone will get better.

The trial team is taking us to new heights of boredom today. So grateful for their Trial Advocacy 101 wisdom.

Does MSNBC know we don’t care abt this Trump 24/7 news blitz?

I am so sick of the media's appeasers who are all but pleading that donald not testify because he is an uncontrollable hothead who would damage his own case.

SO WHAT?!

This trial could be our last shot at toppling donald before the election. If he wants to testify, let him fucking testify!

I understand your angst R444, but 'the media's appeasers' have nothing to do with Trump's decision whether or not to testify.

He does NOT want to testify. He wants to pretend that he wants to testify.

😂 Who is the red-tied trumpketeer with the jet-black Elvis wig? What a rogues' gallery showed up to support BLOAT* today!

Cevallos gets paid because he is pretty.

The three harpies were unnecessary this afternoon; Vaughn, Andrew, Katherine and Danny could have held down the moderator and consultant roles quite satisfactorily.

I used to find Chris Jansing relatively tolerable, but she has been working my last nerve during the trial. Perhaps her contract is up for renewal and she's fighting for her professional life.

It's funny about the endless "He/They're being ANTI-SEMITIC!" "They're being ANTI-PALESTINIAN!"" screaming fits.

I'm not emotionally tied to either faction, so here's what I've seen: On 10/7 and throughout the first two or three months, MSM coverage was OVERWHELMINGLY pro-Israel/Israelis, with hosts and guests repeatedly talking up the rapes and sadistic treatment of the hostages, and how we should be OUTRAGED on their and their families' behalf; to do otherwise is to be inhuman, evil, and anti-Semitic. And to me it seemed like the foreign correspondents worked from that same script. And Israeli dissidents were given short shrift.

Since January, it seems MSM coverage has become overwhelmingly pro-Palestinian with hosts and guests repeatedly talking up the thousands and thousands of Palestininian/Gazan bombing deaths, sadistic treatment of the refugees, and how we should be OUTRAGED on their and their families' behalf; to do otherwise is to be inhuman, evil, and anti-Palestinian/Islamophobic. And to me it seems like the foreign correspondents are working from that same script. And explicitly anti-Hamas voices are given short shrift.

Everyone seems to be talking past one another, preferring to give thought and voice to !!!!OUTRAGE!!!!

Nicolle W. + George S.= 🔥

Rachel definitely gets BOTOX in those 11 lines.

Maddow Monday.

R455 Her forehead lines are visible, as are her grey hairs.

I can't take her bloviating anymore. She should cut back to zero days per week.

I agree, R458. Resign already.

I'm glad she has Fani Willis on, I like her.

R458 and R459, her "bloviating" is 100% warranted this evening. The treatment of DA Fani Willis has been SHAMEFUL, and is worth exposing *in detail*.

Deserved treatment. Fani jeopardized the prosecution because she wanted some dick.

No, R462.

Like you'd really give up a chance at some dick thrown your way, R462. Sure, Jan.

I thought Fani Willis was spectacular with Rachel tonight. An incredibly brave and smart woman. America doesn't deserve her.

R464, I'm not desperate, unlike you and Fani.

Katy Turd.

[quote] America doesn't deserve her.

Both sides would agree

Joe Scarborough loves saying Bullshit.

She fucked up. Royally. She put the prosecution of Trump into jeopardy. Her judgement is questionable. Her ego is unrestrained.

If she couldn't control herself in a situation like this, she wasn't the right person for the job. She put herself in this position; she should step aside.

If you write off her "treatment" as misogyny or racism, you are weakening the argument when those factors really apply.

R470 they are going after her for any reason they can find or make up. The sex part of the investigation is over. They are on to other things now.

R471

I understand that, but she provided the ammunition. It may not be fair, but we've all learned that "Democrats" need to be squeaky clean, because "Republicans" - and the media - will find a way to crucify you if you aren't.

That's not news; it's the way of the world and we should have already learned that lesson.

"Democrats", on the other hand, are stuck in a rut of taking the high road, thinking still, that we're going to change the world for the better. A lofty goal for us, but in this firestorm of politics - right now - that's like trying to put out the raging inferno with a glass of water.

It shouldn't be that way, but we ignore those facts at our peril.

Leaving this for Andrea Mitchell lovers.

Except what did Fani do wrong? Date a man she was also working with? Since when is that a crime or even a misdemeanor?

Nothing wrong with getting some dick, but when you know they’ll be coming after you, why give them ammo?

I greatly admire Fani and she committed no crime but I agree with r475. Knowing what was at stake, it was bad judgment pure and simple.

[quote] Nothing wrong with getting some dick, but when you know they’ll be coming after you, why give them ammo?

Maddow mentioned former GA Gov. Roy Barnes was approached by Willis to work on the case in the role Nathan Wade (Fani's former BF) held. He turned her down saying he "didn't want to live with bodyguards for the rest of his life" This suggests to me that staffing this prosecution team was difficult and possible that many qualified lawyers possibly turned the job down out of fear for their physical safety.

I like Fani Willis and whatever you think of her, this bitch wakes up to death threats, goes to bed with more death threats and keeps going.

Fani thought she was lining herself up to become governor or even higher

Fani has a sense of vocation

The only thing Fani did was live like a normal Black woman. Trump's herd of investigators went through her past and gave her a colonoscopy worthy of Trump himself. Pity it is in fascist Georgia that lynched Fani.

On the flip side, Tish James must be a fucking saint.

Yikes! ^

STFU Katy Turd.

My yikes is for Andrea

[QUOTE] Fani thought she was lining herself up to become governor or even higher

Is that you, Katy Turd?

Katy Tur is radiating when talking about Dump.

R485 she’s acting like a schoolgirl with a crush. Honestly disgusting. Can she be fired??

R473 and all DLers, did you SEE Andrea Mitchell at the top of her show today? She was reporting from court, and.... WOW! And EGADS! As my Appalachian foothills relatives would say, she couldn't find not nair word she needed. Which is not unusual for our girl. But the accompanying CHIN shaking and head tremor? I was gobsmacked.

Does she have Parkinson's or other movement disorder? Because it wasn't a fleeting moment; it was a full 90 seconds MINIMUM, and quite disconcerting.

From this day forward, heffa better not let the words "Biden" + "old" + "diminished" pass her trembly lips.

[quote] better not let the words "Biden" + "old" + "diminished" pass her trembly lips.

She isn't Joe thinking he was Vice President during the pandemic

Standards and practices at NBC loses on MSNBC.

JoScar has permanently made bullshit uncensored.

The women at MSNBC have made A-hole, not asshole, A-hole legitimate.

Waiting for fucker to be released.

[quote]Fani has a sense of vocation

r479 - Indeed she does, ElderLez. As I posted on the Treason thread - she's a true patriot. We have some incredible women on our side who are meeting the moment.

Relax R489 it's cable, and I love that Joe does it to irritate Mika.

Do you ever *not* troll in your posts, r488? You should be a lot better at it by now.

Her courage is inspiring R490.

r493 - I *wish*, ElderLez. I kept thinking how un-noble I am.

Once again, Nicolle does not report on Biden.

It’s a choice.

She does it just to annoy you, r495.

Ugh it’s Tuesday so Alex Wagner is back 🤮

The person who books guests for Lawrence sure has had it easy lately, Andrew Weissmann, Lisa Ruben and Adam Klasfeld. I am not complaining about it just noting it.

Andrew Weissmann did not seem all too impressed today with Ari's questioning. I almost expected a queeny eye roll from him. Lawrence did a much better job with him in tonight's interview....actually letting him answer his questions.

Katy Tur is a Trump Whore.

“Katy tur must of double dosed her meds today. She is wild and rude today. Another reason to give her to Fox. There she can be comfortable shilling for trump.“

r499, Andrew does Ari for the cash. Ari is all about Ari and his multicultural show. Rashida keeps him around for the Blaxploitation into the Black community. Pity it is the Kiss My Ass wing of the Black community.

Katty Kay is particularly voluptuous this morning.

Katty and Mika are in DC this morning, and it seems that Mika's Birkin is open and ready for service on a chair next to her.

Know your value!

Joe is outdoing himself this morning.

I think he’s upped his interruptions to every 9.5 seconds.

R501, she was exceedingly pushy, rude, and supercilious yesterday. Between my house TVs and SiriusXM car radio and mobile app, I was listening alllll day yesterday. And I have to say (and shocked to think it), but on court days I'm starting to prefer the Ana Cabrera/Jose Diaz-Balart block.

No wild cackling, no one-upsmanship among hosts, minimal overtalking--just a couple of professional hosts treating the subject and their reporters and guest experts with the respect and gravity they deserve; we are, after all witnessing the once (and maybe future) POTUS [bold]BEING CRIMINALLY TRIED[/bold] for illegal business practices *while he was PRESIDENT.*

The Mitchell-Jansing-Tur block, for all its constant "My dear friend Katy Tur," "My esteemed colleague, Andrea Mitchell," and "NOBODY does it like you, Chris Jansing"- ing has become so tiresome.

Frequent MSNBC panelist and noted podcaster Emily Bazelon - another one with a HORRID, EARDRUM MELTING voice.

I love how Katy Tur knows that people fucking hate her now. Fuck her.

Mika’s hair looks good.

The Super Bowl of Upspeak: Nicole Wallace vs. Minnie (NARAL) Timmaraju! Irritating AF. I guess Minnie defeated Christina Hall (Jacuzzi commercial) in the playoffs. Sweet Jaysus, are there no more professional standards? I love Nicole, but it is so unprofessional. I guess when it is commonplace to have those with diagnosed speech impediments on tv, an entire program of Upspeak is meaningless. SMH.

Former FBI Director Jim Comey was Nicole's guest on Deadline White House and she asked if he saw Rachel Maddow's show last night and to my surprise he said he did.

R511? You'll have to include me? Chris Hayes? A dude? Who upspeaks worse than a 14 year old? Girl, I mean? Like, high school girl? Or maybe, a, like, middle school girl? Who is like, 100% sure she's always right? Plus? Have you heard me, like, pontificating? Like, about how awful Joe Biden is? And, like, really, really awful? And how he's like... SOOOO old? And, like, out of touch? But now that it's like six months away from the election? And now I might've like, talked so much shit about him, and so he might lose to Trump? I mean, like, *really* lose?

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tuned in for the Nathan Wade interview, only to be assaulted with stereotypical "Sapphire" jive fast-talking. Poor Maya Wiley and Tim Miller, having to share screen time with an idiot.

Lemme know when Wade is on; I will mute Joy Ann's inane yapping.

Joy looks nice in white.

Joy Reid insisting on continued use of Hamas’ discredited casualty numbers (by the UN!) is journalistic malpractice. This makes MSNBC look as bad as Faux. Joy has never looked better than today though: excellent hair and make up & flattering wardrobe colors. Rashida will go down with the ship if she doesn’t stop with the Hamas disinformation.

Lawrence calling Trump the stupidest man to run for president is so refreshing. And he says it soberly yet gleefully.

JoScar is brilliant, going toe to toe with Israeli politicians.

I'm certain she would

Claire M. loves to show off her wealth.

R517, STOP THE HAMMERING

. . .

r520, she feeds a large family that assembles near her.

Must you be so petty?

R520 = MAGA

Remember when young Vaughn Hillyard first started to appear on MSNBC, he looked like some hick still wet behind the ears. Now he is a really fine looking young man who has really grown into his looks.

^^^^

Amy Klobuchar attended Vaughn's Wedding.

[quote] Amy Klobuchar attended Vaughn's Wedding.

I hope she didn't throw a stapler at the grooms.

Whoa! Where'd Many HaHa Wallace go? Suddenly, Alicia is hosting.

If you were listening while you were watching, Nic thanked Alicia for the middle of show handoff so she could get to her kid's school program. I love them both.

Gag me, R530.

Ari Melber has a huge ego. Andrew Weissman was a polite and patient guest while suffering Ari's "nice guy" arrogance and interruptions. At least he shaved today.

I think Andrew's "wicked smart" comment was his tribute to Ari's commonness.

Beautiful.

Well, if you hate on Joy because you think she is anti gay, you are going to have a harder time after her incorporating Gay Pride into the Black Civil Rights movement with such fervor today.

Andrew Weissmann was on CNN the other night on the Laura Coate's show and I was like WTF he is a paid MSNBC contributor and that normally means he is limited to MSNBC but he was plugging his book so I guess it was all kosher.

R535, Stephanopoulos was on Moaning Joe the other day.

"Vote for Joe Not the Psycho" billboard posted in Mar-a-Lago by George Conway!

I detest Ari Melber with his hip hop references. He sounds sooooooo pretentious. If he would cut that out, I would watch him at 6pm, but he’s desperately trying to be “hip” and “with IT”. As for Katy Tur, I used to love her. I agree with what has been previously posted - the 2nd brat ruined her. Now, we find out she’s Dump’s willing lapdog from Michael Cohen. I agree, Rashida should fire her. I think that’s coming, but maybe 6 mos. down the road….they can blame falling ratings for the time slot. Who replaces her though? And for the love of Baby Jesus, if we must have Chris Jansing every day, why two hours?

I understand Joy's righteous indignation over the Supreme Court's racial gerrymandering decision, but I need a calmer news reader. I'm ill and her rage level isn't good for my health. PBS News Hour is a good substitute. It's bland but it covers more news.

It seems that Princess Leia is filing in for Alex Wagner

Symone’s pearls.

[quote] you are going to have a harder time after her incorporating Gay Pride into the Black Civil Rights movement with such fervor today.

She is an actress paid to read her scripts just as Ed Schutlz did on MSNBC before he went to broadcast on Russia Today. Recalling her blog posts se is only sincere about her black racism.

Stephanie Rhule loves herself some Charles Coleman 🔥

hugo lowell is a quack, katy tur style.

Stephanie Rhule was on Joy Reid’s show today with no make up. Oooh, GURL! 😳

The “B Crew” this morning is spinning the shit out of Trump’s Bronx rally, with one lie on top of another.

Could Joe have mustered a crowd that large?

Hell, no!

Katty Kay is up to the task.

I loves me some KaKay

Despite the fact her face is pulled so tightly I’m afraid it might break, I love Katty Kay.

I don’t need some Limey cunt on my television screen at 6:00 AM.

Oh no, Katy Turd in for Nicolle. 🤮

Fuck, I watched a few hours of ATK on Pluto and was hoping that Alicia was in for Nic. But nooooo, the TurD is there. Today is all fucked up on MSNBC.

Back to the ATK Blondies.

[quote] Could Joe have mustered a crowd that large? Hell, no!

Umm—it was not a big crowd.

He got about 8,000 to show up in Jersey and called it 100,000.

ATK Spatchcock chicken and quick gravy!

Wherever Biden shows up, there’s an echo.

Pity.

R553 - They said the same thing about the underwhelming Bronx crowd size on Morning Joe this AM.

Lemire said Trump was cleared for several thousand people, and given there were no issues from the police re it being really overcrowded, it's probably what he got.

He also said even if it were as many as 7,000 attendees, that's a really tiny percentage of the 1.4 million people who live in the Bronx.

Joe Biden couldn’t get 7,000 people to attend his funeral.

R557, NYPD estimated the Bronx crowd at 8,000 - 10,000.

I would trust them over that prisspot fairy Lemire.

R557

FF/Block the asshole at R558 and just like that, the thread becomes sane once again.

And R558, his inauguration was so much different from Trump's

Nic is back for Hr2.

Dental work. Heilieman too!

I would gladly give up fresh peach pie and butter crust on ATK.

Is the number of people who show up at a rally the new yard signs?

I am a reliable Democratic Voter and I wouldn't go to any rally regardless of who is holding it. I can think of few things more boring than listening to any politician speak. I shut them all off including Biden, I would listen to Obama for a few minutes but even he bored me, but I voted for him and Biden every time.

[quote]I would trust them over that prisspot fairy Lemire.

So being a fairy is a bad thing?

R560 - here's another take on the rally size.

[quote]Who loves Daddy Lawrence O’Donnell?

I do, I do!

It's my favorite show on MSNBC. Lawrence is so smart.

Alex Wagner is a Trump apologist.

Get her off MSNBC, take Katy Tur with her.

Katy Tur filling in for Nicolle was like Tokyo Rose filling in for Cronkite.

Nic was effusive in her praise for Tur during her medical emergency.

Eddie Glaude & Charles Coleman both have awful rhetoric against the Dems, Biden.

Big Picture you can’t get everything you want. Biden has done a great job & they are complaining they didn’t get 100%.

Good luck with that 🍀

^^^^^^^^^ They gave Biden a 50/50 split in the Senate with Sinema and Machin as part of their 50 Senators for the first two years when the Republicans can block unless there is 60 Senator for any legislation.

Then Democrats didn't vote enough in 2022 to keep the House. Then SOME Democrats complain Biden hasn't done enough. The Voter haven't done enough, you want Democratic policies give Democrats a super majority.

Eddie Glaude is also infamous forever for telling everyone he couldn’t vote of HRC in 2016, because she was the same as Trump.

Never mind the Supreme Court and roe vs Wade getting overturned.

Never mind the insurrection

Never mind the needless deaths to Covid -19

Never mind Q Anon

Unfortunately, R571, he had lots of company in 2016. And their comrades on the far left may well be responsible for Trump 2.0.

“Oh, I just don’t like Hillary. There’s something about her….” - ARE YOU CUNTS HAPPY NOW? SCOTUS is now a joke, among other irreparable damages the orange turd did to this country.

Pardon me - *damage*

I've me her many times and words I'd use to describe her are formidable, brilliant but not likable. That was enough for my vote . The "guy you'd like to have a beer with" nonsense netted us Trump, Reagan and George W.

I voted for Hillary, I thought she would be a good President and it is damn time we had a woman President. However she needs to let it go, I voted for Gore but didn't much care for him and didn't like his VP selection but I have to admire him, he got screwed in the election but he got over it or at least doesn't keep talking about it. This whining about the past isn't going to win us, the Democrats any votes. At this point Hillary would be best to be a grandmother.

Lemire is doing a great job doing a MJ two hour fill in. He's like Nicolle in the morning on Memorial Day. Greatly appreciated because MSNBC holiday programming usually sucks smegma cock.

I would rather undergo open heart surgery than suffer through two hours of Jonathan Lemire solo.

Anyone know if Rachel is on tonight?

Rachel's doing a special on Tuesday night. Trumpy thing.

[quote] Trumpy thing.

How unusual for her

Should have put the date: Tuesday, May 28, 2024.

Thanks!!

Closing arguments!

Tonight from 8-10 is "Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow Live at the Apollo."

Tomorrow's 8-10 Rachel show is "Trump on Trial."

[quote]Jonathan Lemire solo

Oh the thought that went through my mind.

[quote]"Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow Live at the Apollo."

Can anyone explain this? Why is this a thing?

^Because they are two MSNBC anchors. Chris Hayes hosted Rachel when she was promoting her book, and Rachel hosted Joy several weeks ago when Joy was promoting her book.

And if there’s one thing that’s better than two hours of air time promoting Joy’s book, it’s four hours!

Thank God for three days of SVU on Ovation and USA.

It’s no doubt just a repeat of the live show.

Like Colbert—“live on tape”

That's why Lemire live this morning was so refreshing for MSNBC Holiday programming.

“Lemire” and “refreshing” in the same sentence?

Seriously?

He’s about as refreshing as an anal wart.

MSNBC Holiday programming is usually an anal wart.

Jen Psaki is in for Nicolle today.

Do we have a Part 598 yet?

WOW, that's quite a typo. Meant to say Part 58.

We ain’t got no time for deferring to “the creator.”

Wacky Jen Psaki was busted for lying in her book about Biden “not” looking at his watch while coffins of killed soldiers were returning.

Lying for Joe was her job. And now she is at MSNBC not much has changed

Attacking Joe is the job of a Trumptard, or a Russian troll/bot. Not much has changed.
