MSNBC- Part 60

I have stopped watching MSNBC this week, and I am a 24/7 (except for that shitty Dateline crap) watcher.

I did catch Jake Soboroff asking a Republican twinkette about her views, but he never asked he if she wanted to die in childbirth or be forced to deliver and raise her rapist's baby?

Katy Turd is embarrassing herself at the RNC 💩

I wonder if JD will send his wife and children off to the same Concentration Plantation as Nikki Haley?

Thanks, OP.

It really grates on me that Nicolle - who surely knows better - diminishes the reliability of the Fox News poll (as she did today in the context of those in favor of SCOTUS reform. Fox’s polling operation is famously independent of the news department & is highly rated.

Biden has been tested positive for Covid for the third time.

[quote] Biden has been tested positive for Covid for the third time.

Oh, dear.

Nicole Wallace was on television trashing Obama over Iran, saying that he needed to be impeached right before her MSNBC gig. She’s a con artist.

Lawrence makes me laugh "This is such a low rated convention."

Lawrence & Joy are the only rational ones now.

Ratings are going down!!!

Seated alongside Joy Ann at 7:45pm, both Ari and Jen quipped about Navarro's addressing the RNC "almost during/prior to prime time." Ouch!

Did Joy Ann ever disavow her self-acclaimed title of "first Black woman prime time news host?" Poor dear.

Her makeup looks good tonight, but I hope she's not growing out the buzz cut (her best look ever); time to see the barber, Joy.

Ugh Alex Wagner is soo snide.

She doesn’t represent the MSNBC audience.

Ugh, Alex W and Chris H; I'm outta here, and will check back in later.

Alex Wagner’s whole job is to read a teleprompter, yet she can’t articulate simple words.

Don’t want to hear this bitch talking about Biden’s gaffes.

Chris Hayes just said a few minutes ago to Claire McCaskill that we definitely know that Schumer met with Biden, we know that that happened

Now Rachel comes on and says NBC can not confirm that this happened take it with a grain of salt.

R15 Maddow said NBC can not confirm that Schumer and Jeffries were telling Biden to drop out during their meeting (as ABC reported). She never said that NBC can't confirm there was a meeting.

Wes Moore (aka 'Todd Bridges') is in the house !

Alicia Menendez has had a lot of work done on her original face. Cheek implants, nose job and I'll venture to guess those are green contacts.

R18, All paid for with gold bars.

I'm sick of Katy Tur, she's on too much. Plus, she sounds like a Republican. Ugh.

DL fave David Gura back with Bloomberg interviewing Governor Kathy Hochul.

In case you were looking for him.

Katy Tur is having multiple orgasms over Biden losing donors. How is it possible to suck so much?

Are we sure Tim Miller is gay?

He's in the studio for D:WH looking all washed up.

A black shirt with the blazer hon, so your pearls compliment the blazer.

I want to like him so bad y'all....

Joy is being especially cunty tonight.

[quote] Are we sure Tim Miller is gay?

No, but his husband is.

Can someone please give Ari some hair dye for that skunk stripe on his head ? He looks terrible.

Apparently Tim Miller was straight before becoming gay.

Weren’t we all, R27?

Can Ari make his disdain for Maddow any more obvious ? He always looks so miserable sitting at the desk with her moderating.

R29, that's because he can't stand lazy people who work 1 day a week.

[quote]Can Ari make his disdain for Maddow any more obvious ? He always looks so miserable sitting at the desk with her moderating.

I'm Team Ari on this one. She seems insufferable, her delivery is super annoying, and most of what she says is common knowledge that she feels compelled to "explain" to the audience in a condescending manner.

Joy looks like she has Vitiligo tonight.

Nicolle Wallace's random cackling outbursts are ridiculous.

The 'girls' made sure they froze Ari right out of the conversation they were having. He didn't utter a word, and he didn't laugh at Maddow or Wallace once. He's the isolated kid at school who ate his lunch at the cool kid's table, was ignored, and got up and left.

[quote] Can someone please give Ari some hair dye for that skunk stripe on his head ? He looks terrible.

I believe Rudy might have some.

Clearly Republicans are planning to have enough people not certify the election which will throw the election into the House of Reps where each state gets one vote, more states will have Republican majorities and they will elect Trump, all perfectly legal.

where’s lawrence?

Sitting with the panel. They swapped Jen Psaki out for him.

Ivanka looks to have aged ten years since we last saw her.

Little girl, please peel that piece of paper off Grandpa Sir's face.

Here's Melania looking rather flat-chested ... BPV?

I just turned on Rachel and saw this demented woman waving a microphone and thoght, why is she shrieking about the power of MAGA? Then Rachel called her "Steph" and all was clear, Going back to her roots triggered a seizure in Stephanie Ruhle. To be fair,I would have vomited if I were in that room.

I can't wait to hear Lawrence's comments on the speech.

I really like Symone, she's a spitfire. I like women like that.

Simone is the embodiment of the Sapphire racial stereotype. Sapphire Spitfire, indeed.

No one is more desperate than that loser Tim Ryan.

R29 and R31.

I’m in total agreement. She is beyond thinking she is so important. Never liked her. Preachy, pontificating, and smarmy know-it-all.

Insufferable, unwatchable, hard pass.

I’d rather listen to political commentary from people like Nicolle Wallace or Jen Psaki or even Symone Sanders who have actually worked on campaigns or worked for a President, rather than Maddow who has a fancy degree from Oxford but has spent her entire life bloviating on radio and TV but not actually doing anything of importance.

For Michael Steele.

I don't understand the Rachel backlash. She's brilliant and there's no one like her. She holds everyone to a higher standard. MSNBC gave her a sweetheart deal that's embarrassing and essentially pays her to do the podcasts she'd do anyway. But i can't hate her for having better negotiators than they do.

Let me guess that Ari is intimidated by Rachel's braininess and her failure to respond to his lame rap allusions. I like him but he's long-winded and has difficulty making points. Rachel doesn't.

The words brilliant and Rachel Maddow do not belong in the same sentence.

Yes, they do. She may not be your cup of tea but the intellect is there.

Bless your heart, R51.

She's too tentative when it comes to speaking about Trump. Joy spits it out.

Katy Tur. Again.

There is no reason Ari would be intimated by Rachel. He is a Cornell Law grad and lawyer.

I watch Rachel and don't hate her but I do find her extremely condescending at times and she is in love with the sound of her own voice and opinions. There is a reason she only normally has one guest on her show, there is no time for more when she is done bloviating. In my opinion MSNBC would have been better served by just letting her leave and not giving her $85 million do only do one night a week most weeks and some podcasts that I will never listen to but have to listen to endlessly promote. MSNBC should have have told her, either do five nights a week or none.

Hmm. Ari, a wigger who caters to Black pop culture not be intimidated by

Rachel, BA Stanford, Public Policy, Rhode's Scholar (turned down a Marshal for the Rhodes) and a DPhil University of Oxford.

Are is not only intimidated, he is shamed by her academic cred.

At least Ari is tolerable, R57.

I find Rachel more tolerable than the insufferable smugness of Melber.

At least Ari is sexy. Rachel not so much.

Ari is as sexy as a Friday blintz.

I tuned in and got a slice of the José Díaz-Balart sub for Turd, and he ended his show with a hit job on Ice, Mexican Criminals and Sanctuary Cities.

WTF, has the Military industrial complex gotten to MSNBC through ComCast NBC? Is the only liberal media outlet going to be absorbed block by block? And now Hamas Habibi is in for Nicolle. WTF?

Why is MSNBC taking election tips from Tim Ryan who lost to JD Vance?????

[quote]and some podcasts that I will never listen to

Your loss, r56.

Ari is now 44 years old and looks at least 10 years older. Yet, he believes he's still a Wigga in his 20s. He's really suffering from an identity crisis.

R63, Tim Ryan ran an outstanding race against Vance. He is blameless for having the misfortune of being an Ohioan.

Still a loser.

If Tim Ryan is a loser, so is every other ambitious Democratic pol living in a red state.

You forget Sherrod Brown is a senator from Ohio.

Tim Ryan is a manipulative asshole.

He wants to be Kamala’s VP.

Nope.

Alex Wagner is a TRUMPER!

She puts up alot of PRO-TRUMP stories and alot of ANTI-BIDEN stories.

get this bitch FIRED!

[quote]You forget Sherrod Brown is a senator from Ohio.

Yes, and he's also asking Biden to drop out.

And, R69, Sherrod Brown first got elected to the Senate when Ohio was more of a swing state. And it’s a helluva lot easier getting elected in any state running as an incumbent than running as a challenger or running for an open seat.

Just saw this on Twitter. Not including the Twitter account name because I know how some of you self hating closeted. MAGA Katiy Turd ass sniffing bitches can be:

“BREAKING: At least 2 sources very familiar with the situation as it develops are say theat Katy Tur could be OUT at @MSNBC as early as this evening. During the broadcast today, she gave no indication that it would be her final appearance, but executives have had enough.”

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

R74, try English.

Stuart Stevens is brilliant:

“As legendary NY Times editor Abe Rosenthal told a reporter in a different era, “At the New York Times, when we cover the circus, we don’t fuck the elephants.”

Really surprised about Katy Tur. Is it time for a clean-out at MSNBC?

I searched around for ratings info and found this: "MSNBC’s worst week of the year, so far, came during the first week of the third quarter. During the second quarter of 2024, MSNBC averaged 810,000 total viewers compared to 1.3 million for Fox News and 618,000 for CNN."

These numbers are so pathetic. There are ordinary-people youtube channels that do as well, from the backroom of their apartment.

If she's out, I say give her daily time slot to Katie Phang. She's earned it.

R74 yes, but who's decision? She might have gotten an offer from Fox and given notice. (or was interviewing in secret and MSNBC found out about it).

I like her personality. There are quite a few that are on my last nerve, with the talons and cackles and rapping and lecturing.

Oops - I was responding to R78, the post about Katie Phang - love her. Can't stand Tur[ncoat].

If Katy Tur leaves MSNBC, she’ll be on Fox News the next day.

Make it the STEELE & SYMONE Show!

Michael Steele asking Alicia Menendez asking how this week landed for her. Had to be the most clueless question ever, since her father was found guilty.

Here's Vaughn Hillyard at another Trump rally.

Michelle Goldberg is a QUACK.

[quote]Let me guess that Ari is intimidated by Rachel's braininess and her failure to respond to his lame rap allusions. I like him but he's long-winded and has difficulty making points. Rachel doesn't.

I disagree. Rachel is the one who is long-winded and drones on and on and on for twenty-five minutes to finally make a point that could have been reached in two.

We agree to disagree.

R87 You are correct in a basic sense. However, she's entertaining when she speaks and she holds your attention while she's speaking.

Rachel has been very clear on why she does it like she does it. She's not for the impatient viewer. Details that may seem extraneous do end up being a connective part of the story.

No, she just likes to hear herself talk on and on.

Whatever blows your dress up, r91.

SYMONE!!!!!

NAILS !!!!!

TITS!!!!!

EARRINGS !

I like Rep Adam Smith on the show, and going at it with Symone. I can't believe he's only 59 - he looks a good five / six years older. He is sexy, though.

Can we have a three hour 'The Weekend' every Saturday and Sunday and dump 'Velshi' ?

Trolls hate smart women.

It's a Republican plank.

[quote]And, [R69], Sherrod Brown first got elected to the Senate when Ohio was more of a swing state. And it’s a helluva lot easier getting elected in any state running as an incumbent than running as a challenger or running for an open seat.

Yes, indeed, R73.

And it's both amazing and terrifying how low we've sunk when in hindsight Ken Blackwell looks like Rashida Tlaib.

Any more news on Katie Tur(minated)?

FUCKING KATY TUR? For this story?

The world and MSNBC has gone mad.

Fucking Cornell Belcher says that unless Kamala Harris is anointed the Dems will lose to Trump.

Now THIS is breaking news.

Why did they bring in Katy Tur? Jen was doing great.

MSNBC is covering this as if they announced Joe Biden died. Everyone calling in to 'remember him' and 'remember his legacy'. He is still alive, folks !

For many Democrats, this is as close to mourning as possible without a dead body.

Maddow in the house ! She's explaining it's a moment in history where we will always remember where we were and what we were doing when the news broke.

What are you saying to your TV while listening to Tur flap her gums.

Rachel is actually working?

[quote]...Cornell Belcher says that unless Kamala Harris is anointed the Dems will lose to Trump.

I am certain he did not use the word "anointed;" otherwise, Cornell Belcher's assessment is correct.

Katy Tur DARED to put Maddow on 'hold' to pick up the call waiting call from 'Monica' ? And then let Monica ramble on ? And Maddow stayed on the other line ?

Never thought I'd see the day.

Rachel coming back to host coverage at 7pm EST tonight.

Thanks, R113.

Joy, Nicholle and Jen will all be on tonight with Rachel as well.

Nicholle will bring nothing to the conversation except her giggles.

Oh I just love MSBNC's hen do's.

Symone's tits are in the house - along with Symone's head in the background.

Katy Tur sure has had a lot of air time lately. What's she up to?

I despise Katie Turd. Trump loving bias bitch! I’m not in the mood for her shit today.

Mike Memoli thinking, DAMN Joe, I am MSNBC's Biden expert, will I get fired now.

It gets fucking worse. Go to bed Andrea Mitchell. Was that her doing all that coughing in the background? I guess I'll have to wait until 6 PM.

That anorexic pockmarked BITCH Andrea Mitchell has some gotdamn fucking nerve to play in our faces with her "Wwwwe have uh uh been been uh uh dis..discussing uh uh President Biden's uh uh not only uh uh physical ah ah AND ccccog.. uh cognitive decline uh uh the last few uh months."

I wish to God Biden had fucking SKEWERED her at the WH Correspondents' Dinner. I mean, talking about pot and kettle.

LOL@r123!!!

Y'all said Katy Tur is getting fired/in hot water?

No, r125, we *all* did not say that.

No, Joy, the '68 convention wasn't an "open" convention. Chaotic for other reasons, but not because it was open. Humphrey came to Chicago will all the delegates he needed.

Calm yourself, Rachel. Manchin is talking about running as a Democrat - in the "open" convention - not as an independent.

[quote]Maddow in the house ! She's explaining it's a moment in history where we will always remember where we were and what we were doing when the news broke.

In other words, she’s stating the obvious and pretending like it’s some great insight because it came out of her Oxford-educated yap.

Rachel can't remember Dems coalescing around a presidential candidate this quickly. I guess she's forgotten about the goings-on in March 2020.

Joy's dress is making me nervous, she should move her mic up.

KAMALA LFG!!!!!

MSNBC drug out John Meacham earlier and now Michael Beschloss can we be expecting Doris Kearns Goodwin next or has that wig already been put to bed?

Kamala 🥥

Looking forward to the commentary today 🥥 🌴

Morning Joe’s guest list 🔥

They hauled Joe’s ass to 30 Rock this morning.

Willie’s gotta work on a Monday.

Here we go!!!!

“God bless the most ruthless, exacting, win-at-all-costs operator the Democratic Party has: 84-year-old Nancy Pelosi.”

I hope Kamala is annointed in good olive oil.

Three hours of Deadline White House today, Ari must be off doing some rapping.

It’s not rapp rapp, R140.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Good. He won’t be missed.

Rachel + 🥥🌴

God, I just love Amy Klobuchar so much.

She and Val Demings are still my dream team POTUS/VP.

Did Joy put her wigs away for the summer ? Are they in storage, or are they being steam-cleaned ?

Kamala might need to invest in some neck cream.

Wanna tweet this link at her, R146

Blocked the douche bag at R146 so I had to take the extra step and look up her butt-hurt and lame comment. R146, you’re as we call in Brooklyn, a colossal dick. NOT to be confused with HAVING a colossal dick.

“Kamala Harris’ office has had a staggering 91.5 percent turnover rate since she became vice president, an investigation from government watchdog organization Open The Books (OTB) revealed on Monday. Of the 47 staff members hired when Harris took office in 2021, only four reportedly remained in her employment as of March 2024.

The report comes as Biden’s X account announced he will “stand down” from his reelection campaign and “fully support” Harris as the new nominee. OTB utilized U.S. Senate disclosures to obtain records from the vice president’s office, including 2021 and 2024 payrolls.”

How much turnover did Dump’s entire Administration have??

. . .

Spit it the FUCK out, Andrea!

Joe S appears early in the show but never seems to stay for the whole thing.

Omg R152, that was so fucking AGONIZING to watch. Rep. Heinrich, and later Marc Morial looked so distressed; they looked the way I felt.

Joe's hanging it up; Annn...aaa..Andrea Mmmm...mmm...Mitchell should exit ss...sttt stagge left.

Hey, R151!

Do you do anything other than troll, r149?

No one is a bigger skank than Megyn Kelly flashing leg and boobs to Putin and looking like a fool. All this garbage is going to be served up by desperate MAGAs whose hopes for a fatherland have been dashed. Sucks to be you.

Katie Phang in for Ari. Is he on vacation again? Wasn’t he just on vacation a couple of weeks ago?

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, R158. Try thinking, it's painless.

r158, He's cutting a new demo.

He’s riding BBC.

Jen is replacing Chris on a Tuesday?

R162 She said Chris is taking some time off to spend with his family. I understood that to mean he's on vacation the rest of the week.

FYI: Rachel will be on Stephen Colbert’s show tonight.

Thank You R164 - just set my DVR.

Alex Wagner had on Minnesota Gov Time Walz, I knew of him but don't think I have ever heard him even speak before. He is a pretty impressive speaker, not much to look at but he delivers the message effectively. Main draw back in my eyes is he is 60 years old, which will mean he will be 68 at the end of two terms if that happens and here we go with another old guy then.

Harris turns 60 in October, so she will be 68 at the end of two terms, too. What's the big deal ?

Exactly R167 - she just aged better/looks younger.

I’m rooting for either AZ Governor Mark Kelly or PA Governor Josh Shapiro for VP candidate. Strategically, they’re both great choices but Josh is quite the cutie.

[quote] Harris turns 60 in October, so she will be 68 at the end of two terms, too. What's the big deal ?

because at the end of two terms Harris will be done running for political office, I want a VP that can step up and run for President. Not another candidate who is too old but still wants to run.

R164 here -- I guess Rachel couldn't make it or else my guide was mistaken. Either way, the show just started and she wasn't announced as a guest, so perhaps she'll be on another night. Apologies for the confusion.

r169, Josh also made a name for himself when he flew into action when the Interstate collapsed.

He is a man who defies the Regan excuse to fuck over the Middle Class:

I'm from the government, and I am here to help.

He has shown to be a results oriented Democrat.

A good choice and definitely NOT a Lieberman.

Lieberman was in the Senate, fucking up the Affordable Care Act.

Josh is a Governor in a Swing state that has delivered for Democrats before.

Josh could help move OHIO, with the Hillbilly dimwit dumbass couch-fucker on the ticket.

Josh appeals to moderates too. He won by significant margins in PA when running against a pro-Trump MAGA candidate.

Morning Joe has Elise Jordan conducting focus groups in Wisconsin. The Trump voters on the panel were morbidly obese lumps. The swing voters knew nothing about Kamala but some think she's untrustworthy because she didn't tell the world Joe's health was deteriorating.

The Trump voters thought Kamala was dumb and unqualified. She threatens every value they hold dear.

These were good segments illustrating what goes on in these peoples' heads.

Elise needs to understand that Trump voters are also RACIST voters.

The only thing missing from her segment, which is being rerun on morning MSNBC, id the Benny Hill soundtrack.

Mostly a bunch of dumbass white people who are neither Urban, or suburban, but that lovely type of rural racist.

Elise needs to find non-racist rurals if she wants to find anyone movable.

The racists are baked.

Hey Elise, ask your sample if they want to give up Social Security, and Medicare first.

Then ask your dumbass questions.

The SM formerly known as Twitter hates Elise Jordan more than Katy Tur. They think her questions were leading and her undecided panel too unrepresentative.

Katy Turd "how convenient" that Kamala not there to listen to Netanyahu's speech. Turd is such a MAGA troll at this point, it was announced ahead of time Kamala wanted to meet with him in person, you know like a future president, to have a back and forth conversation not sit and listen to a speech. But I guess Ms. Turd forgot to mention that part on the air.

Katy Turd - Mother, Frau, MAGA Light yellow journalist 💩

Katy Turd *and* Chuck Toad...oh yay.

UGH Eddie Glaude 💩

John Heilemann is yummy.

Voting for Kamala Harris could support policies that affirm and protect the rights of transgender individuals, including toddlers who are exploring their gender identity. Harris has consistently advocated for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion, emphasizing the need for comprehensive healthcare and supportive environments for transgender people. Her support for such policies aligns with efforts to provide resources, counseling, and protections for young children undergoing gender transition, ensuring their well-being and affirming their identities from an early age.

R181, To be more succinct, you should say "Voting for Kamala Harris could support policies that affirm and protect the rights of every American." Be proud and cast your vote with dignity for VP Harris in November. I know I will.

[quote] These were good segments illustrating what goes on in these peoples' heads.

They were indeed, and the illustrations of what goes on in these people's heads was quite frightening, at best. How in the world do these people function in society ?

Where be Ari Melber? Contract dispute? Illness in the family? Has he wed or had a baby? Jumped ship to the dark side? In short, I miss my 6 o’clock mister following hours and hours of MSNBC femmedom. In these historic times, I want to know if his rap bros still cling to the alarming notion that Trump is their “nigga President”when given the option of Queen Kamala. And I don’t see way into the evening Lawrence O’Donnell broaching that question.

Oh, my. To be fair, these ladies look pretty much like they wouldn't be inspired or hopeful about much of anything except, well, the obvious. It's almost cruel to put them on TV.

r185, they would probably be inspired by all Ozempic.

Kamala needs to support free Ozempic for all Americans, she will win over all those fat bitch and win in a landslide.

Those ladies have an average BMI of 44, which is also their average IQ.

Joy just said that Rachel is under the weather, so perhaps that’s why she was not on Colbert’s show last night.

Joy with her big chance to host a panel and she flubs it right off the bat saying Nicole Wallace is the only one on the panel to work in the White House with Jen Psaki right next to Joy.

Uncle Joe’s speech was short and (bittter) sweet.

I’ll miss him in politics. Hope he can enjoy his retirement and his family. He deserves it.

For the three women who are uninspired Wisconsin Trump voters:

"Teeth and bras, ladies - you're on national TV! Teeth and bras !" I've told them a number of times - do they listen ?

My god, I just adore Jen Psaki. She brings so much to that MSNBC table.

I think Ari is not getting the attention he thinks he deserves. I'm fine with his absences.

If it's out there and you can find it - Maya Wiley tonight on Deadline spoke beautifully - and it was heart-wrenching - about race and the fight to break through - as a follow-up to Kamala Harris' talk at the AAPI event in Washington, D.C. about kicking the door down.

I can't do it justice. See if you can find it.

R190: There is more than a hint of tension between Joy and Jen this week, so thick that you can scoop it in a spoon.

The rift began with a disagreement on Monday afternoon, the details of which I don't remember. However, I recall Joy forcefully disagreeing with something Jen had said, to which the host (Tur? Jansing?) promised to let Jen respond after the break, but the issue was dropped and Jen never given her say.

Nice/nasty, those two. Stay tuned.

Yes, R194, Maya's soliloquy was brilliant, leaving Wallace and Heilemann speechless. Earlier, John Heilemann had sprouted some of his inane expertise on being Black in America and Maya had no choice but to take him to school. Eddie Gaude was also praiseworthy in his input.

(Heilemann actually said [among other pearls of racial stupidity] "... be you brown-skinned, black-skinned or whatever ... ."

Black-skinned? WTF?!)

Ari Melber has been out every other week this year.

Elise Jordan is a Crazy Republican and it shows!

Where was Sarah Longwell?

Puck News is a bunch of elites.

I have always liked Maya Wiley. Smart woman, and every time she talks I learn something from her. I hope Harris has a place for her on her new staff - press sec would be great.

I recall NYC DLers didn't appreciate her very much when she ran for mayor.

But, r201, many did, considering the freaky ranked choice balloting in NYC

[quote] I have always liked Maya Wiley. Smart woman, and every time she talks I learn something from her.

🤣

Maya Wiley is a piece of shit.

Yeah, I lost respect for Maya once she defended the NYT to bash Biden.

I think the Greenbay Republ.ican voters gave us a good look at MAGA--failures who do not read the news and desperately need the myth of white superiority to feel centered. For them to call Kamala unintelligent and unqualified is an article of faith. I'm sure they never set foot in Madison or Milwaukee.

I don't like Elise Jordan but she accomplished something quite sly.

Today she showcased Madison progressives. Normal BMI, not happy about Joe getting pushed out through a backroom deal but enthused about voting for her.

Claire got a Toni!

R171 Rachel is sick, she was suppose to host the panel after Joe Biden's speech last night but she is too sick, she did call in to the panel and sounded pretty bad. Probably why she didn't make it on Colbert.

Wow - the humidity really did damage to Claire's hair. It looks like a powder puff.

Boy is Ari boring.

Still there, Symone? A watched phone never rings.

R181, sex transitioning for children should be banned nationwide, not praised. It's child abuse, forced sterilization, and anti-gay.

I won't be watching much MSNBC while the Olympics are on.

Well, r212, you know best.

R210 Ari has been boring and looks bored for some time now. Every time I see him on TV this summer, I get the feeling he will be out after the election. I don't think he wants to be there any longer - especially with the spotlight on Rachel, Jen, and Joy.

I'm seeing the same, r215.

God, I LOVE Lawrence O'Donnell. Brilliant opening tonight!

Dump is backing out of the debates like a scared pussy.

Senator Bob Casey, please get some energy!

R205, would you prefer the NYT to have kept silent in the face of Biden continuing to stay on the ticket?

Ari is going to anchor a BET political show.

R217 Really? GTK - will watch it later!

[quote]Boy is Ari boring.

Most good looking men are.

He was a vanity higher back in the day. Handsome young lawyer. But now he's older, his obsession with RAP and RAP STARS is boring and he really does not know how to be entertaining or likeable. It feels like MSNBC is only a vehicle for him to hang out with more RAP STARS. He's a wannabe who is easily impressed. Legal skills are long winded and meh.

I hate when Ari does that shit with old white people who have no idea who he’s talking about. It’s like an SNL skit.

Put him on weekends and he can interview musicians and get their take on politics. Give that timeslot to someone more se.

*more serious.

r223, I totally agree. I can’t take him.

I would be shocked if SNL doesn’t spoof The Weekend and more specifically Symone Sanders when the show starts its new season.

Michael Steele talking about the excitement surrounding Barack Obama in 2008... Wasn't he a Republican then working against Obama??

[quote] Michael Steele talking about the excitement surrounding Barack Obama in 2008... Wasn't he a Republican then working against Obama?? ' Well, so were about two-thirds of the current MSNBC contributors.

[quote] Michael Steele talking about the excitement surrounding Barack Obama in 2008... Wasn't he a Republican then working against Obama??

Well, so were about two-thirds of the current MSNBC contributors.

Isn’t Ari supposed to be MSNBC’s “chief legal correspondent” or something like that? It seems like every time there’s a legal issue to discuss, they bring on Lisa Rubin and Katie Phang now. What purpose does he even serve??

Damn! Willie Geist looks like shit!

John Meechan questioning Pete Buttigieg on Morning Joe, what's the story, now that you have been Mayor, now you've been in a big job....

Is that called shade?

While Mika and Joe are taking time off (again) for another vacation, they should've chosen Michael Steele and Symone to anchor the show each morning. Jonathan Lemiere is doing a terrible job today, and with Geist covering the Olympics in Paris, it looks like he will be here for the duration of their vacation (which will probably end the day before the DNC).

Michael and Symone would be SO much better each morning.

R233 get your silly ass out of here is you think this girl is working seven days a week. Slavery has been abolished.

R232 No, not really. They made it clear that he was not their in his current Federal position - he was there as an individual citizen, so they couldn't reference his current position. There's a fine line (Hatch Act) they didn't want to dare come close to, never mind cross.

Pete is doing a lot of on-air campaigning this past week for the VEEP position. Can he be more obvious ?

R235 - Pete made the same point when he was on Bill Maher's show recently re what he was able to discuss on the show.

John Meecham comparing Mayor of South Bend and now you're in a big job, Meecham could have said current position instead of big job and Pete can't get in trouble for what other people say just what he says. Meecham is a word smith, he knew what he was saying.

Why are they calling him MAYOR Pete? Shouldn't they be calling him Secretary Pete even if it's he is just speaking for himself? Or conversely, then just don't use either of those political titles. Just Pete.

[quote]John Meechan questioning Pete Buttigieg on Morning Joe, what's the story, now that you have been Mayor, now you've been in a big job.... Is that called shade?

He also addressed him as “Mr Mayor”. I know others are saying that’s because he wasn’t speaking as a member of the Biden Administration, but it still didn’t come off well. It seemed to be an insult, as in “you’re always going to be thought of as a mayor, and that’s it.”

Does Mrs. Meechan’s know her husband is a flaming closeted queen? I can’t stand that pretentious twat. (John, that is)

I also think Ari is channeling his father, a professor. That must have been a fun dinner table.

Ari has had a billion views on Youtube so I doubt if they'll be pushing him out the door but they need to. Compare his energy level to Katie Phang's.

Katy Tur must go. Nothing is sadder than a former hot chick begging to be acknowledged.

Meacham is a historian apologist for the Southern Baptist Convention. He is forth generation plantation owner. You have to peel the onion when he questions Pete.

John Heilemann filed for Divorce!

He is a Single Man!!

Katie Turd slammed the Biden Harris Campaign as lackluster. Fuck her

"Lackluster"???

Katy Tur has big tits. She really just needs to move over to Fox where they can dress her in slutty outfits and let her trash Democrats.

Katy Tur 💩protecting her boo DUMP.

They're holding El Mayo.

Stop watching Katy Turd so her ratings can take a nose dive and MSNBC can fire her. It’s not rocket science.

Ari was boring and had an unusual air of desperation about him.

Steele in for Joy was fun and interesting.

Ali in for Chris, don't know, watching ATK on Pluto. I chose not to be afflicted with Hamas terror, as Bibi is going to do what Bibi is going to do.

Alex looks like she is addicted to opioids lately, back in two hours for the dignity and sensibility of Lawrence, then beddy-bye.

[quote]Katy Tur has big tits.

She didn't get those from her father, I mean mother, I mean father or whoever Chopper Pilot Bob is calling him/herself these days.

Thoughts and Prayers for Zoey Tur

Why Steph Rhule & Nicolle Wallace have Eddie Glaude on?

After he voted against Hillary Clinton and got us Dump, how dare he comment on the election?

R253 Why ? Because on the next episode of 'The View', Sunny Hostin will call them racists for not having him on. Who wants to defend themselves against her ? No one has the energy this summer.

Stephanie Ruhle has stopped having her Friday night recap in studio are they worried about Covid, I like them being around a table better.

Eddie Glaude voted for Trump? That explains a lot. I was wondering why Morning Joe fawns all over him.

Steph likes having those Summer Fridays at her vacation home.

Steph sure knows a lot of people, they all seem to be her good friends.

Steph's Zoom panel is sus.

Why is Eddie Glaude on all the shows now?

💩💩💩

[quote]Why is Eddie Glaude on all the shows now?

I know. He's getting more camera time than the potential VPs making all the rounds this week. Is he being considered as VP ? He's angling for something in the Harris administration, and he wants her to notice him.

Eddie Glaude and his son infamously did not vote for Hillary Clinton.

Now he is on the soapbox about Kamala.

We are voting for her bro, the question is where you gonna vote for Biden if he stayed in?

I don't think he's angling, but who knows. All MSNBC has to do - whether or not they will is up for question - is run Glaude's statements that "he could not vote for Hilary Clinton."

[quote]PRINCETON, N.J. - Dr. Eddie S. Glaude, Moss Point native and current Chair of the Department of African-American Studies at Princeton University, recently penned an opinion column for TIME discussing his unwillingness to support Hillary Clinton in the upcoming presidential election.

That's when I stopped listening to anything he said. He did apologize at some point. And he was great today on "The Weekend."

But he still bothers me.

Eddie Glaude is the New James Baldwin.

He voices the historical political grievances against Black people.

He reframes the discussion, like Whoopi, through Black lenses.

And he was great today on "The Weekend."

Tish James is killing it on "The Weekend".

We need to listen to our Black brothers. We would not be here if had listened sooner.

Letitia James has been making the rounds this week, including 'The Weekend' this morning. She's obviously auditioning for the AG position once Harris gets in.

I didn't read his opinion piece, but what was his reason for not voting for Hillary in 2016 ?

If not Sally Yates, James would be excellent.

The Last four years for her were prosecuting Donald Trump.

The NEXT four years should be her prosecuting the Trump Administration.

They sent gorgeous 45 year old Tom Llamas to Paris to cover the Olympics ! I hope he puts on a Speedo and jumps in the water...

Here's the famous Glaude opinion piece, now eight years old. You certainly can't call his prescient.

He's never apologized or admitted how wrong he was. " What I did wrong in 2016 is I overestimated white people. I didn't think white people would put Trump in office."

He's a fool who needs to fuck right off.

Jesus! Symone is so long winded. I love her but she needs more polish.

Kamala must be glad Symone is no longer her “chief spokesperson.”

R269 Thank You for posting that. I never read it before.

Morning Joe does like to surround himself with losers. Mike Barnicle who, i think, was a plagiarist. Donnie Deutsch whose opinion is interesting to no one. Peggy Noonan. Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Plus Mike Barnicle & the Charles Stuart case….

Donny Deutsch is a hot daddy!

Until now, I think I always believed Peggy Noonan and Doris Kearns Goodwin to be the same person.

Symone needs more than polish, R270.

She put on a spectacular display Saturday morning by actually braying like a mule, flashing her large mouthful of gums and teeth. It was positively disgusting.

If she's waiting for a call from Vice President Harris, she's wasting her time; Kamala Harris wouldn't touch messy Symone with a ten foot pole.

I agree r276. It was pretty bad.

Alicia’s reappearance changed the whole dynamic of The Weekend.

Should be The Symone & Steele Show.

I wonder if Angela from 'Big Brother' would dare call Symone 'crazy eyes' ?

Totally disagree r278. Alicia is a welcome balance to the loud and constantly interrupting tomfoolery we get from Symone Sanders and I say this as someone who likes Symone. She just does the most sometimes. Wait until SNL spoofs her. You know it’s coming.

Michael Moore is an Antisemite!!!!

Ali, cut him the fuck off!

Can someone please tell Symone those sharp pointing 2 inch claws are scary and need to go. So distracting all I think about is how does she wipe that ass without scratching the F out of herself.

I dont mind glamming it up, but those long nails are trashy girl.

Elise Jordan and her fake focus groups.

Jen Palmeri shut it down this morning!

Heilemann in for Nicolle today

Now watching MJ this week without Joe and Mika.

Where's the dome, Claire?

Did Claire get a body wave or is she just letting her hair air dry?

Humidity

I like Claire's curls!

Air dry. .Claire says it's her vacation hair. I just think it's not blown out.

And it looks different - but great!

Who is this bald stranger in for Nicole Wallace? He understood the assignment. Say less, bro, he ate and left no crumbs, according to the tea in my era, sus?

[quote]Who is this bald stranger

New to MSNBC, r291?

John Heilemann, a regular guest & substitute host, R291.

R291, he's newly single.

John Heilemann is SEXY & SINGLE!!!!

Does he still have his big dogs?

YES, Joy! Bring those Project 2025 receipts!

R297, I love that she's doing this.

^Me too. Every news outlet should.

Support Rachel Maddow’s ‘90s Smokey Eye.

I just posted in the Treason thread. Rachel scared the shit of me. I saw this article earlier but couldn't get thru the paywall. It's in Timothy Snyder's tweet.

Jen Psaki helping the Pod Save Douches rehabilitate.

All these former Obama staffers need to let it go.

Chris Hayes is still out? Long vacation?

Hayes is out the whole week.

Tim Miller, double pearls night.

I missed Joy Reid's special breakdown on Project 2025 last night. Does anyone know if it's being repeated ? Is this going to be a multiple-part special or just one episode ? I heard she explained it all very well.

r306, she plans to cover it every night this week. Now she may have to skip it tonight because of Madam VP Kamala Harris’ phenomenal speech but if so, I’m sure she’ll pick it back up tomorrow.

Why can't Alex Wagner take a week or two off?

Or a year or two?

All of MSNBC Primetime is off this week.

Thank You, R307. Something tells me they may repeat it all on Saturday night, too.

I loved Joy’s breakdown of 2025.

R311 So mad I missed it ! I bet it's on YouTube.

Michael Tyler, Kamal Harris Campaign Communications Director, OMG. I can only hope we a lot of him, communicating with us.

Is he gay (please?!)?

The line-up of guests hosts tonight carrying prime-time...they really went with the JV team.

[quote] The line-up of guests hosts tonight carrying prime-time...they really went with the JV team.

It's because they know everybody (except DL eldergays) is watching the Olympics. They probably encouraged all their prime-time hosts to take their summer vacations during the Olympics.

I think Alicia in for Alex was the only sub improvement. The rest...meh.

Oh, and Michael Steel was great in for Nic.

He knows he shit.

Pod Save Douche Bros are the worst kind, but Psaki/Hayes/Wagner seem to keep platforming them.

Mika & Joe were right:

“Dear Former Obama Staff:

We know you miss the limelight of the WhiteHouse, but your time in the sun has passed. We do not care what you have to say. Our POTUS JoeBiden has picked KamalaHarris his VP as his successor.”

Do not need Chris Matthews on my TV ever. Do need Keith Oberman on Maddow but all before and after Katy Tur.

[quote] Do not need Chris Matthews on my TV ever.

I like Chris Matthews, but he's out of touch and totally misread this year's race. Remember a couple weeks ago when he insisted that Biden wouldn't quit and would enjoy a huge comeback in October?

Matthews is an old relic who needs to be put out to pasture with Andrea Mitchell.

I love Symone, but her Pro-Hamas bullshit is too much sometimes. She sat in for Stephanie last night, and she challenged General Barry McAfree that Israel had attacked a hospital in Beruit in order to take out an architect of the October 7 attack. No acknowledgment of the fresh deaths of 12 Israeli children from a Hezbollah rocket in the Golan Heights. Nothing, not a word. She’s not as extreme as Chrissy Hayes, Alex Wagner, or Joy Reid, and her positives soar way past the Hamas 3, but I’ve never seen her so cold…about children!

Fuck that fat and undoubtedly smelly (down there), switchblade fingernailed, screaming-harpie, Symone!

She was a progressive and clearly still is one. She needs to be challenged.

What a fucking asshole Triump is at the NABJ.

What a fucking asshole.

He was a JAW-DROPPING, HILARIOUS Fucking Asshole.

Negresses, you have failed to greet me appropriately.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Those women journalists onstage with donald today shouldn't be expecting accolades, either.

They were ill-prepared for such a predictable subject. donald used them to impress Dee and all the other Plorables ... and even more than a few undecideds. Fait accompli.

[quote]and even more than a few undecideds

Yeah, r328...no.

I've got a huge crush on Shawn Fain.

Sally YATES on with Nic!!!!

So MSNBC is rooting for Sally over Tish?

Can listen to both of them. I will be Team Sally for US AG until Tish is sworn in.

Sally Yates is doing a GREAT job.

Yates is smart and pretty. She would eat Trump again and spit him out in court.

I’m looming forward to Joy’s take on Trump’s performance today.

No one looms like you do, r334.

Omg r335! I need to get a bigger phone or use my ipad to post here.

So Joy agrees with me that the Black journalists got played by donald this afternoon.

I loved Joy's Olympic baton-passing analogy to the way that different groups of people have been coalescing for Kamala.

You must feel *so* validated, r337.

Ugh! It's so messy having to search the sewers of Ignore to respond to a banished vulture.

I don't need anyone endorsing my opinion, R339; I am just glad Joy, unlike you, saw through donald's bullshit this afternoon.

Now, don't you have some trump excrement to collect and munch on before tonight's hunt?

R338, so did I! I thought that that was very clever.

I haven't watched MSNBC since the Olympics have been on. Priorities. I'll go back after. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the fun of the games.

Andrea Mitchell just said “Mikhail Gorbachev.”

FIRE HER

Andrea doesn’t want to retire and get stuck feeding her 98 year old husband pudding and wiping the drool off his chin.

Eddie Glaude is an asshole.

Be happy for the release.

Is Nicolle on vacation? I haven't watched all week and thought I'd tune in for a bit. Ali Velshi is on, ugh.

I like to think Many HaHa is interviewing.

Fingers crossed.

Nicolle was on yesterday.

Long weekend

Mara Gay on. Biden needs to thank her for giving him more time to negotiate the Russian Prisoners release

Has Trump turned B'lack into the new nigger?

[quote]Andrea doesn’t want to retire and get stuck feeding her 98 year old husband pudding and wiping the drool off his chin.

Are you sure it's not the other way around ?

She’s married to 98 year old Alan Greenspan. 77 year old Andrea is the Anna Nicole in that scenario.

Are Velshi and Capehart the entire B team this week? So boring. Unwatchable.

Florida Evans sat in for Joy Ann tonight.

When they said Simone would be competing in gymnastics at the Olympics, I mistakenly assumed they meant Symone Sanders.

Of course you did, r355.

I'm changing my name to Squeaky Cheese Curd.

Senator Chris Murphy is yummy 😋

Can someone please explain why Jonathan Capehart is so TERRIBLE at handovers? He doesn’t even try. It’s so rude.

Ari is downright cunty to Nicolle when she has the better show, but he is the more arrogant host.

A Bum's Rush with a door slam.

Can someone please explain why Jonathan Capehart is so TERRIBLE and has a show on MSNBC?

I wonder what kind of underwear Ari wears.

Can someone please explain why the terrible _______________* has a show on MSNBC?

*(Ana Cabrera, Andrea Mitchell, Katy Tur, Nicolle Wallace, Joy Ann Reid, Alex Wagner, Simone Sanders-Townsend, Jonathan Capeheart)

Can someone please explain why the terrible Nicolle Wallace and Joy Ann Reid have shows on MSNBC?

Nicolle is an ex-republican who excoriates Republican bullshit with superb experts.

Joy Ann is a pissed off B'LAK woman who is tired of decades of Republican bullshit.

Nicolle shares JoeScar's universe, but she isn't a country lawyer.

How do you define B'LAK, r364; I am not familiar with that apostrophized term..

It is the pronunciation Trump used as his version of SAYING nigger at the NABJ conference.

B'LAK! She was Indian before she was B'LAK, in Trump translation

@ 4:12

Carol Leonnig has lost weight.

John Heilemann is tearing it up going against Trump and Republicans with hard hitting reporting.

Brings Marsha Blackburn's opponent to the forefront in the 100 Senators plan.

Hard on the 10 million dollar bribe to Trump direct through Egypt's version of the CIA.

Genuine, YUGE BAGS OF CASH.

I hope DLers are smart enough not to normalize B'LAK or any other race-baiting dog whistle Trump may use between now and election day.

[quote]I wonder what kind of underwear Ari wears.

You should have included your guess to start things off, R362.

John Heilemann should have his own MSNBC show.

R362, my guess would be boxer briefs.

Black Calvin Klein boxer briefs that some ex girlfriend convinced him to buy in his early 20s, r362. Before that his mother probably bought him Hanes or Fruit of the Loom boxer shorts.

Granny panties

Ari Melber wears black bikini briefs, of course.

Ari probably wears black lace Victoria Secret ladies panties...with a pouch.

That's Victoria's secret.

[quote]Can someone please explain why Jonathan Capehart is so TERRIBLE and has a show on MSNBC?

Trump probably says he's a DEI hire. Same with Joy Reid. Then he says he has no idea what DEI means.

Marc Caputo, so sexy in coat and tie on with Alex Wagner.

Is he doing a JoeScar imitation?

Ari wears a thong.

Ari wants to be black so bad it's kind of telling.

Does Ari have any kids? He was married and divorced once I believe. Has a brother he posts on IG, but he's pretty private about his private life.

I just know Ari has a hairy ass, crack and taint.

That's not rocket science R383

[quote]Does Ari have any kids?

No.

His kids are still swimming in his hairy sac.

I bet Ari is a big time porn addict.

^I think the same about him.

R383, which is why he probably wears regular paid boxes. Where the pubes poke out the slit while he's sleeping.

Ali is on discussing a book in which all white people wake up with brown skin.

Time to do meal prep.

[quote] which is why he probably wears regular paid boxes

Ari doesn't need to pay for his boxes.

I think Ari is a secret perv with a porn stash big enough to run a rental store and a penchant for wearing nipple clamps and cock rings under his suits.

Total perv

Where was Alicia this morning ? She was missing from 'The Weekend'.

And Symone toned down her makeup and false eyelashes - she looked so much better.

Any love for Jake Traylor and his big teeth covering the Trump rallies for MSNBC ? Cute guy, but I'm afraid his teeth would bite my cock while blowing me.

He's so...so...eager.

Those ARE some big choppers on Jake!

At least they gave Vaughn Hillyard a day off from covering Dump rallies.

Chompers…

Jake also covered the attempted assassination at the Trump rally three weeks ago. That's when I first noticed him.

He does have a future in toothpaste commercials, or 'AspenDental'.

Where has Alec MacGillis been all my life?

I don’t think Ari is geigh. I do think he is hot as hell and has sucked more than one BBC though. I’d guess boxer briefs on the undies question.

Where is Alec MacGillis now?

When this thread has devolved to Ari Melber's underwear, I am sure waiting for the return of Joe and Mika.

Here for the Symone & Steele Show!

Lose that dull Alicia, such a different vibe without her!

Alicia needs to go back to her weekend American Voices show and cohost, Ramos.

Rashida, are you listening?

And put it on after Phang/Psaki.

R401, looks like he’s been sitting in the lobby of that building all his life.

I haven't seen much of The Weekend, but Alicia seems to be the type who is more suited to anchoring solo than trying to be chatty with co-hosts.

Alicia is buttoned-up anchor type, she doesn’t even chat during the handoffs.

Symone & Steele can have a fun conversation while still clapping back at guests.

Drop Alicia, S & S are the perfect duo.

I think Alicia is quite charming and very much like the dignified, smart Latina she is. Symone is sloppy. Michael has earned his sloppiness.

But if you don't think the rules are different for Alicia, on a Black run network, you need to ask why they haven't fired Wagner or Ayman.

R402, why would a straight guy suck cock? Do you eat pussy?

r411, because any sex with a straight man is, by definition, straight sex.

It is a claim that makes the statement true. A virtual sexual tautology.

He got fucked up his straight ass by another straight man.

Ari, has probably heard this many times, as Jews can be down low with the best of 'em.

[quote] I think Alicia is quite charming and very much like the dignified, smart Latina she is. Symone is sloppy. Michael has earned his sloppiness.

I totally agree regarding Alicia but I don’t think Michael Steele is sloppy. I actually think Michael is pretty good. I like Symone but Symone needs to be a little polished. Her verbal, stumbling, long, ass, questions, and interruptions need to be worked on.

R413 I think it's a nice contrast between the two. Steele is the professional, well-spoken anchor while Symone is very animated and goes for histrionics.

OK, then he is GETTING sloppy.

I don't watch that Weekend drivel because I really cannot stand Michael Steele....

Rashida set poor Alicia up!

Jan opens with Carville and Rev Al.

Zzz..

Sure, Jen

Symone and her sloppiness belongs in the 10pm or 11pm slot.

I’m fairly sure Ari has done his show a few times while having a butt plug in place.

I feel a bit ashamed that Symone's talons bother me so much. And like most women with those things, she uses her hands much more as she speaks (to show them off, I guess). That's all I see and I just have to turn her off, even though I'm a big fan of Michael's soothing style.

Still waiting for the phone call that isn't coming, Symone? A watched phone never rings.

[quote]why would a straight guy suck cock?

Curiosity?

[quote]I’m fairly sure Ari has done his show a few times while having a butt plug in place.

I agree. AND a cockring.

Do not like talons but I assume the ornamentation is supposed to make up for the shaved head. As long as the female reporters do not shove their cleavage in my face, I'm fine.

Did anyone see David Hogg today talking about reaching young voters who've lost faith? Poor dear is losing his hair.

Anyway, I wish Joe Scarborough was there to say "Are they nuts? Are they waiting for an engraved invitation to vote?" Hogg said they were demoralized about Dobbs. What a good reason to sit this election out.

David Hogg is a washed up little dude.

People want logical progressive legislation, not left-wing fringe burn the house down shit.

It's very refreshing to see Symone on TV - a black woman who doesn't feel the need to wear a dollar-store hairpiece on television. She's comfortable in her own skin, and her shaved head. Sunny Hostin needs to take note - and toss her collection of 1986 Whitney Houston wigs in the garbage can.

I concur, R427. Symone’s low cut is likely because she prefers not having to fuss with long hair (as opposed to Ayanna Presley, who has alopecia). It looks good on her because she has the head shape to pull it off.

Eugene Daniels is NOT easy on the eyes. That afro(?) and his all around fashion sense is ATROCIOUS!

MSNBC has more than its fair share of "Glamour Don'ts."

WHET the "Motown Finishing/Charm School?" Man, does MSNBC need a similar program!

Rest in Peace, Miss Maxine Powell.

[quote]David Hogg is a washed up little dude.

As a survivor of a Mass Shooting, Mr Hogg will never be washed up until the 2nd Amendment is corrected.

They are re-running the Sally Yates segment of Nic's show.

Love a woman who forced Trump to fire her instead of expecting her to roll over and resign.

I noticed Kamala Harris and Eugene Daniels dress alike these days: Open color pastel blazer, silk collar-less blouse which drapes across in folds, and a pin or pendant. They each pull it off.

But not well in Eugene's case.

Where has Ayman been for the last couple of weeks????

Negotiating his election over the Gaza strip.

Capehart is quite the nelly fegela.

John Heilemann is sexy.

Look up BNWO, R411. Straight white guys sucking BBC is a whole (its own) thing. Way beyond curiosity. The regular rules don’t apply. Unless you’re a Frau, then just drop it, you’ll never understand.

Sure, Jan.

R438, John is single now.

R441

Wonder why John and his wife broke up.

He is 58 and was married for over 15 years…

R442 He fell in love with Ari. He was attracted to his wigga personality.

I thought John had a crush on Nicolle.

John Heilemann and Cornell Belcher both stutter, as does Jonathan Capehart.

Yamiche! Slow the fuck down and stop gasping for air like you're having a panic attack!

Damn, are we stuck listening to you hyperventilate for the duration of the election?

Bet John Heilemann is a dirty fuck.

Speaking of hyperventilating , grandma Andrea Mitchell, while interviewing two reporters over in Gaza said “oooff, I have to catch my breath there…”

Leave Mitchell. Get the fuck out!

Claire has gone back to blow-dry.

[quote]Yamiche! Slow the fuck down and stop gasping for air like you're having a panic attack!

She’s out of breath because she’s too fat.

Ari had a sweaty upper lip before the commercial break. They must have blotted him.

I hate listening to Yamiche. She's ridiculous. God help us if MSNBC set her up with her own show to host.

Poor Juanita Tolliver. She's been sitting with an industrial strength fan on her right side all day, and didn't have time to fix her hair before she went on The Reid Out.

If Ari’s upper lip was sweaty, then can you imagine how moist his hairy in-betweens were?

LOVE Yamiche. She is a warrior. A very compelling narrative. Lol @R453. Juanita needs to change out that weave. She’s been rockin’ that same weave a few weeks too long.

That is not weave. Juanita has a lovely, thick wash & go style, a popular ‘do among black women who wear their natural hair.

^She’s giving 1985 Rae Dawn Chong realness.

Well, I LOVE Yamiche and Juanita!!!

[quote] I hate listening to Yamiche. She's ridiculous. God help us if MSNBC set her up with her own show to host.

She hosted Washington Week on PBS for about a year.

Any Black Journalist who can dog Trump with simple and honest questions and follow-ups, to the point that Von Shitzenpants called her nasty, is doing her job.

Rachel should cut back to zero shows per week.

Rachel is rambling again…

Time for that sexy beast, lawrence o’donnell.

John Heilemann + Lawrence O’Donnell= 🔥

Check out photos of young John Heilemann with hair. Scary!

R460 I remember that, I cheered her.

That’s a weave. I’ve seen many other hair styles on her. She doesn’t change them very often. There’s no way her natural hair is that long.

Errin Haines has an ever-changing cast of weaves and wigs. Glad she's found one she likes.

[quote]That’s a weave. I’ve seen many other hair styles on her. She doesn’t change them very often. There’s no way her natural hair is that long.

It’s not a weave. She occasionally wears long braided extensions, but when her hair is out and curly, it is a wash and go with her own hair. Let me guess, you’re a white guy?

Let me guess, you are. Show me the roots. This weave never shows any roots. If it’s all her, show the roots.

Wash and go ain’t that dry. Her “hair” is dry.

Show you the roots? You don’t have to dig in her head to be able to tell it’s her hair, sweetie.

Part of it, maybe sweetie, but not all. Check her IG. The texture doesn’t line up. She’s got a great system, and is beautiful, but that is not all her. Look at the history. Thanks for playing, sweetie.

Sorry, those aviator retro style eyeglasses got to go. Not flattering on her. She looks much better with contacts.

Nancy P on MJ now looking so beautiful, extolling the virtues of all the VP candidates but especially Tim Walz!

Love Mama Nancy P.

Jeffries might be the Leader, but Nance is still running the show.

John Kasich needs to just shut up.

Right, R477?

He's useless, and I am so happy Michael Steele handed him his ass.

I literally have never heard Kasich express one original thought or insight. So why do all the daytime shows have him on? He's a Never Trumper, so what; there's a ton of them. Why do we never see Richard Painter anymore?

Tim Walz reminds me of Robert Pine of CHIPS, Chris Pine's dad.

Whatever happened to Phillip Mena?

Lol, R479, I saw him and thought "Philip Pine IS Tim Walz."

We need to start casting for the inevitable biopic. With lifts in his shoes Austin Pendleton could play Joe Biden.

More importantly, whatever happened to Philip Rucker?

He's the one who goes undercover for Loenig.

I love that Tim Walz named a highway in Minnesota after Prince and signed the bill in purple ink. That makes him so fucking cool in my book.

MOMALA!!!

DADDY WALZ!!!

That shade of pink is good on Nicolle, she looks good in bright colors.

Joy Reid's make-up artist must be on vacation this week, so she decided to go with a recent drop-out from cosmetology school.

This Clay Masters from Minnesota is adorable!

Drink everytime they say “My Friend.”

It's only cause they can't remember each other's names.

Good to see Al Franken, I thought he got a bad rap for a juvenile joke.

Guest columnist Michelle Goldberg looks so much like 'Ms Swan' from MADTv.

Michelle Goldberg in Starbucks

Where are Tim Miller’s pearls?

Damnit bush league reporters! Stop describing Democratic rallies as raucous! Misdefined, much like how you dumb asses misuse the word "rhetoric." Try consulting a thesaurus before test driving a "new" word you stumble across without knowing its meaning.

WTF are they teaching in journalism schools nowadays?

Here’s to the demise of Cori Bush! 🎉🥂🍾

Shut up Symone! or up your Adderall you fucking siren-screeching-screaming harpie! (my ears are bleeding watching Morning Joe)

Same to you Mike Barnicle. Shut the fuck up you utterly uninteresting blowhard. Your quips are not funny, they’re smarmy and cringey. Stay home, and don’t come back. Ever!

Keep waiting for that phone call, Symone. Maybe get a manicure in the meantime ... and a vocal coach ... and a mirror.

P.S. Stop giving Joy Ann Reid style tips; she does bad enough on her own, thank you very much. Oh, to hear the quips when you two leave the break room! You bring it on yourselves.

Andrea Mitchell and Nancy Pelosi seem to genuinely like each other. Girlfriends. I like it.

Fetterman is jealous of Shapiro.

Something about Fetterman and his wife Gisele scream FAMEWHORE BACKSTABBERS.

Don't care about in party squabbles.

Fetterman could hate Mary See for all I care.

Why soo much of that asshole Eddie Glaude on MSNBC lately?

He is the new James Baldwin. He is the great Black Amrican thinker.

Eddie Glaude 🤢

Did Glaude actually compliment Many HaHa on her "infectious" laughter? WTF is his problem? Wallace's laughter is a mental defect of some sort.

Do not encourage that deranged woman's hysteria. Do the powers that be want us to take her (and MSNBC) seriously?

Seriously.

I’m never sure if Eddie Glaude is saying what he truly believes or if he truly believes it’s what he’s supposed to say.

All the earnestness comes off as performative.

Please tell me that isn't Stephen Miller being interviewed by Ari Melber!!

WTF?!

Die, MSNBC. Die.

Yep, it is.

I couldn’t believe it, either. Ari, do better.

It reminds me of how Cuomo would always have the scourge of the RePUGlican party on his CNN show before they shit-canned him.

Did this MFer just try to placate Stephen “NAZI” Miller by saying “You might be back in the White House?” Ari, you’re coming thisclose to being persona non grata on my TV screen.

I turned that shit off. Listen to Fox if you want to hear nonstop lies.

Oh, Stephen. He does these interviews intending to appear reasonable & they always end in a meltdown.

They are reaming Ari on Twitter and he deserves every bit of it.

Incredible.

Ari, you should be ashamed in your far-off head. You cannot reason with Evil, or control it; the creature is doing nothing more than screaming inanities at you and foaming at the mouth.

SMH.

I don’t like when Ari gives the liars airtime, and while he seems to know his viewers don’t always appreciate it, he still believes it’s important to get these monsters on the record.

Miller lost his cool (red face, higher and louder voice, etc) from the slightest push back from Ari though, and Ari wouldn’t let him go off on any weird tangents when the heat was on. Not a good look for Miller, but he still got some of his lies through.

Joy giving Jew hater at large (still shocked he left MSNBC) Mehdi Hassan a major megaphone for his newest Hamas Projecr. Both express shock that Israel defends itself and ask why the US still funds Israel. Their performative coyness is old and stale. Rashida Jones should be ashamed for promoting Jew-hating media. Joy knows better.

I'm making a habit of watching the Harris/Walz rallies on C-SPAN. You're always welcome to join me there for cocktails. Rum and Zero Pepsi tonight; (I misread the six-pack label and Coke was sold out).

Anywho: Remember how Rachel Maddow used to end each Friday night show by mixing a cocktail? Has she yet created a signature Harris/Walz drink?

Must we do everything? Share your suggestions for this election season's drink. Cheers.

I feel that Rachel need to teach a class, work on her podcasts and books.

This is just my opinion, but she’s lost her luster and spark.

Opinions are like assholes, r519.

Ari makes sure he has plenty of Melber video for when Steven goes to jail...

Is that prick Jonathan Martin trying to score a contributor role on MSNBC?

Jonathan Martin ("JMart") is revered by his fellow political journalists.

JMart is a fucking loser.

Shawn Fain is so homely/hot.

and I bet he throws a mean fuck.

Alicia is a fabulous fill in for Stephanie.

I agree R519. I miss pre-2016 Maddow.

It's probably a commination of: orders from up top to keep coverage focused on Trump, and able to have the writers do the work and just collect the check since it's mostly Trump most of the time.

Bridgegate, more interviews, reporting on local Republicans wreaking havoc, and she even covered missing MH370!

Karma at its best - space age interference on Kasich's audio feed shuts him up on Diaz-Balart's show today.

It was a thing of beauty.

Great to see Lucas Kunce on MJ blowing Josh Hawley out of the water.

Trump is on. Turn this fucker off or I will.

He's giving a press conference and announced that he's agreed to three debates.

Kamala back on and My Honey Shawn Fain is right behind her.

[quote]He's giving a press conference and announced that he's agreed to three debates.

And we know he's good for his word. He'll definitely be at all three - count on it.

How does handsome David Jolly make a living?

[quote]r533 = How does handsome David Jolly make a living?

He's a rancher.

R533 He shoots buckets of cum on OF.

Really MSNBC? The full DonOld dump presser? I turned the channel. Do better MSNBC.

Ari, take the popsicle and shove it up your ass.

Lawrence = prescient

Lawrence is going OFF on the news media's Dump "coverage" -- including his own network! He saying it's "2016 all over again".

Thank you, Lawrence.

GOD BLESS LAWRENCE O'DONNELL!

R537 Lol, Ari was so damn proud of himself for that popsicle metaphor. I thought it would never end.

Yup.

I deeply appreciate that Joy has been dedicating a large portion of her show every day to teaching the audience something new about Project 2025. Today was all about its promise to entirely eviscerate nearly every federal labor law and employee right we've gained in the last century.

Velshi is making a huge point about Palestinian/Gaza and comparing it to DREAMers.

What a nasty fuck he is when Harris says that If you want Donald Trump to win, keep going.

Harris is right, in a DEMOCRACY you fight for your side, get them reelected and THEN you negotiate.

Velshi makes me want to vomit when he suggests that losing voters upfront by capitulating to protestors is not a good thing to do. FUCK HIM.

I see Rashida has cut back all of the other assignments for Hamas Habibi Moyelexadin.

She needs to start cutting back Velshi, or send him back to Ukraine.

More of this Velshi shit. Funny how Trump would just shoot them.

No, Michelle Goldberg, go talk to Serns that were bombed back to the Dark Ages.

If you are an American citizen, you have to deal with American foreign policy. It doesn't matter that our families were killed. That is the nature of war. Shut the fuck up Palestinians, either turn out Hamas or deal with the effects of Hamas rulership.

Serbs^^^

Ali Velshi’s laughable attempt to tie Hamas to the Dreamers with the Queen of Self-hating Jews was disgusting. Lost major respect for him. Funny how the “Progressives” love to question everyone else’s values over the war in Gaza. THEY need to be held to account for supporting forced genital mutilation of the majority of women residing in the Palestinian Territories. They need to explain their silence over the ongoing executions of gay men (roof party anyone?) in the Palestinian Territories. They need to explain their silence over the threatened genocide of 200,000 Black Israelis when they claim to support BLM? Why the sexual assault of Israeli women is ok? Why the murder of 1200 innocent people is acceptable? No one questioned the US response to 9/11, but the Israelis are not allowed respond to the October 7th Massacre (that included 40 infants burned alive)? You have no credibility and definitely do NOT have the high moral ground here. Own your hypocrisy!

I agree, R544. Joy is doing a great service. And bravo to Lawrence for eviscerating the press over their timid handling of the Orange Vomitbag.

Laurence calling out MSNBC. About Time!

Lawrence was ON FIRE last night! It was a thing of beauty. Too bad the media is in the tank for Trump. It will never change.

If he wins it will be with their help.

Lawrence O'Donnell giving us MUST SEE TV. We thank you, Lawrence.

Michelle Goldberg is a Leftist Quack.

Zionist

Mark MacKinnon is "earth father" Nicolle Wallace's newborn.

^ to Nicolle Wallace's newborn.

It's Brazilian air crash time and a reprieve from "Why won't Kamala do a press conference?"

Kamala telling a reporter that she doesn't have time to comment on Trump is a valid press response.

She said she is busy running for president.

She gives more information in 2 minutes than Trump dribbles in 90.

Has Michelle Goldberg changed her hairstyle in the last twenty years?

I adore Nancy Pelosi, but with all her money can’t she get a pair of dentures that fit properly?

R555

John Heilemann is the Devil Uncle to Isabelle Wallace Schmidt.

Heilemann + Wallace.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson is on Joy's show promoting a documentary about the resistance to drag story hours at libraries. Neither can imagine why this would be a problem or acknowledge that libraries are publicly funded so telling people to stay away from drag story hours if they don't like them, as Joy just did, is problematic.

Personally, this is not the hill I'd die on but reasonable folk can disagree.

Nobody is dying on any hill, r563.

[quote]or acknowledge that libraries are publicly funded so telling people to stay away from drag story hours if they don't like them, as Joy just did, is problematic.

In what way is this problematic? Drag story hours don't utilize the entire library.

I respect your opinion and don't want to debate you. I think public library story hours should be themed so every child can attend. Every child needs to be encouraged to read.

In my city, many DSH events are held at private bookstores and other venues, which I think is great. If you disagree, that's fine. My city library only does DSH during Pride Month so it's never been a problem or subject of debated.

debate (corrected)

[quote]In what way is this problematic? Drag story hours don't utilize the entire library.

I'm very curious - if the publicly-funded library offered children (and/or adults) one hour of 'Bible Study', would anyone see this as problematic ?

I believe the problem lies when it's in a publicly-funded building, with publicly-funded employees.

Kamala!

[quote]I believe the problem lies when it's in a publicly-funded building, with publicly-funded employees.

So, r567? What does funding have to do with story hour?

R569 Looks like you don't understand the web of public funding, and I don't have the time nor interest to explain it you. Maybe someone else can.

Bible study as a government-sponsored activity violates the Establishmet clause.

.

They aren't reading the bible.

R572 Hence, the word IF in R567.

Thank you for playing.

Stephanie Ruhle says no more couch jokes.

NOPE, SORRY, I AM GOING to CONTINUE to make them until Trump is defeated. She tried to make an argument that Dems should not do that since it's no different than the lie of stop the steal. Basically "they go low we go high" light version. "we would be just like them, repeating things that are not true and we don't need to do that"

WRONG. First of all, the JD Vance thing is funny, it's humor, no one takes it seriously. Secondly, "stop the steal" was a thing that had serious consequences if true and it was litigated in court, that's a very different kind of lie. Third, it's time to get in the mud and wrestle the pig. Do we want to win, or just lose with the claim of moral victory?

We will continue to make couch jokes as long as they are fun. I support our future VP when he said he would debate JD Vance.... if he could get off the couch!.

Agree. I think a big part of the Harris/Walz successful launch is that they aren’t doing that Obama “we go high” bullshit.

That might have worked with adults 20+ years ago, but you have an electorate now whose critical thinking skills have been destroyed by social media and The Real Housewives. The only thing that works these days is mudslinging.

[quote]critical thinking skills have been destroyed by social media and The Real Housewives

JD Vance is a PROSTITUTION WHORE!!!

[quote]Stephanie Ruhle says no more couch jokes.

She’s a fucking idiot. That’s why they moved her to a time slot when nobody’s watching.

I loved Joy’s methodical fact-checking of Dump’s helicopter story. She obliterated it lie by lie.

Alicia looks fetching this morning with Black Shrek off for the day.

r579, thanks for the good news. We needed a break.

R579, tell us you’re racist without telling us you’re racist.

[quote]Stephanie Ruhle says no more couch jokes.

Maybe she’ll cry about it.

The couch jokes are just as relevant as when Gore got skewered for his "Lock Box".

WHERE IS SYMONE???

Love Symone

Symone is at the all-you-can-eat brunch buffet at Cracker Barrel. Then she heads to CVS to pick up her Wegovy to take her weight-loss shots, and her Pepto Bismal for the flood of diarrhea she's about to encounter.

It would be fun if Tim Walz called JD Vance a prostitution whore at their debate, then flipped the table

Symone is off while she's competing in the Olympics in Paris.

Making fun of Vance and the couch is no different than people making fun of Dan Quayle for years over the potatoE incident.

R579 - “ Alicia looks fetching this morning with Black Shrek off for the day.”

Yes, totally. Alicia looked gorgeous this morning.

"The Weekend" presented a polished, class act today.

Wonder why?

I sat in on a Dan Quayle press conference when he was veep, experienced his "deer in the headlights" expression and confirm he deserved every bit of ridicule he got. A true mediocrity that "merit" proponents failed to acknowledge was dangerously in over his head..

Part 61 continues

JoScar is on a tirade to save the dignity of the Baptist Church.

Plantation say no.

r592, everyone back in DC said that Marilyn was the smarter politician and lawyer.

Not surprised.

Where is Ayman?? This is, what, his third week off?

You do realize people in America take vacations in the summer, correct ? And if they have enough money and vacation time saved, they take multiple weeks in the summer, correct ? So it makes sense Ayman has taken some time off and is on vacation with his wife and kids, before the election season goes into high gear after Labor Day. Same with other media personalities on MSNBC, CNN, etc.

Let's

finish
