MSNBC- Part 63

Continue discussion

below link to part 62

Rachel Maddow has Mark Cuban as her guest and he is wearing thick rimmed black glasses, Rachel is not wearing her glasses but if she was it would almost look like she was interviewing herself.

I'm not a huge fan of Rachel but her show has been excellent tonight, showing just how idiotic is is to support Trump because you support his economic/business policies.

Harris adviser David Plouffe: Most public polls are ‘horses‑‑‑’

David Plouffe, senior adviser to the Harris-Walz campaign, said most public polls are “hores‑‑‑” and discussed the campaign’s internal polling in a podcast interview released Sunday.

Plouffe, the manager of President Obama’s 2008 campaign, stressed how close the presidential race is and said polls showing either candidate winning by a significant margin should be dismissed.

“So I really can’t speak to the public polls. I spend very little time looking at them,” Plouffe said on “Pod Save America,” a podcast hosted by former Obama White House staffers. “I just don’t.”

“And most of them are horses‑‑‑,” he continued. “Some of them may be close, but, generally, I’d say any poll that shows Kamala Harris up 4 to 5 points in one of these seven states, ignore it. Any point that shows Donald Trump up like that, ignore it.”

R3, can you please share this with that annoying Alyssa woman on The View. She and her poll talk is annoying as fuck.

Thanks, OP.

Wasn't it odd that Rachel declined to mention Mark Cuban's name as a guest tonight in any of her promos? He didn't appear until about 30 minutes in and it wasn't until he appeared via zoom onscreen that she spoke his name. Or did I miss something?

She called him Mr. Cuban and he politely scoffed that off with a "Please call me Mark." She replied with a "Well, please call me Rachel." but he already was, lol

For a zillionaire, Mark Cuban looked like he was living in a sterilized bunker.

Stephanie looks 10 years younger tonight. Flawless makeup and hair.

Thank god, maybe she’ll leave her lips alone and stop the Botox.

Kamala to be interviewed by Brett Baer on the Fox network, "viewed by many as more friendly to conservatives." Uh ya think, Fox is the fucking propaganda arm of the MAGA Right. I wish her the best, but even if she does well, they will twist it to their own purposes. And nefarious purposes they are.

I felt her session with Howard Stern was excellent - the full version available on YouTube - and an adequate offering for any gettable "conservative" who might still be questioning. She may be tempting fate with this, for little return.

I trust their campaign, but I can't help but be nervous about this interview on Fox. The stakes are so high.

[quote]even if she does well, they will twist it to their own purposes

But they've been doing that with her appearances on The View and Howard Stern as well.

So given that, let them criticize what she says because appearing on Fox will at least give her bragging rights that she's doing this interview while Trump is too weak and feeble to appear on (say) MSNBC.

[quote]I felt her session with Howard Stern was excellent - the full version available on YouTube - and an adequate offering for any gettable "conservative" who might still be questioning. She may be tempting fate with this, for little return.

The Stern interview was good, and he has a large audience. But he also asked no difficult questions and is a big Dem supporter. She does need to do some “tougher” interviews, and Bret Baier is a good choice who will reach an audience that hasn’t heard her before.

Joe is attacking the lies of Trump surrogates. Younkin is really lousy at spin and pivot. He could not lie enough for Trump.

[quote] Kamala to be interviewed by Brett Baer on the Fox network

Reportedly the Harris campaign is in negotiations with right winger Joe Rogan to do his podcast

Mika used the phrase BS Artist. Last week, she said Bullshit Artist.

Wonder if she got a talking to from Rashida?

I prefer using the actual words that people say without sanitizing the,

Trump was called a FUCKING MORON, not a F'ing Moron, not a freaking moron, but a FUCKING MORON.

Joe gets a boner when Mika curses and she didn't want to arouse Joe.

Yikes! Did Chris Jansing book Joy Ann Reid's makeup artist by mistake today? What a botched job!

Re Brett B on Fox....I hope Kamala uses the opportunity to ask HIM a few questions, like how come Fox Viewers know more about Hunter Biden's dick size than they do about the size of the almost $900 million lawsuit Fox paid to Dominion for 2020 election lies.

It will probably be the first time many viewers even hear about it!

Is anyone else listening to Kamala's town hall with Charlamagne Tha God? It is being simulcast on MSNBC and CNN and it's great.

R19 I just wish she would go after Trump on tariffs. It's the core of his economic plan and he's either ignorant or deceptive on the topic. Baer wouldn't be expecting it, she could offer a simple explanation, with the challenge you don't believe me, look it up. Easy to fact-check, hard to deny, even for Fox. And it would royally piss-off Trump.

R20 Yes, I heard it, Kamala was great. Right now on Ari Melber two women who worked in the Trump administration are on with a male former Trump Aid and they're not taking his shit. Plus, they are voting for Kamala.

Along comes Michael Steele, R22, who's certainly taking no tea for the fever in dealing with this MAGA guy panelist.

[quote] Is anyone else listening to Kamala's town hall with Charlamagne Tha God?

I hear Charlamagne say that if Trump was elected that he is leaving. He said it talking over Kamala so I don't know how many people heard it but he definitely said it.

Here's the town hall for those who haven't seen it yet:

Lawrence is broadcasting from a VERY SHADY place tonight... Allow me to paraphrase:

"No one can explain why Donald Trump's favorite song to play at his rallies is the GAYEST song in existence"

Then he goes on to infer that Donald must have grown to love this song back in the 70's whilst he stood along the side of a dance floor watching people who KNOW how to dance really enjoy themselves.

(cut to video of Trump dancing, as how Bill Maher puts it, while jerking two guys off at the same time)

bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

I was more amused at *that* audience getting down to it, r26.

It's ridiculous that Kamala has to explain to the dumb Americans why Trump is bad for you.

Stephanie is fired up.

Yes she is, r29! I had to return to watch her tonight because she really got to me last night with her Rutgers' students. I'm sure she played it up a bit, but overall I did believe she was genuinely upset and disturbed by that one queer student asking if Trump would consider her human.

I am puzzled by the attack that Harris is dumb. I know Trump calls all his opponents stupid, she might be among the few he's broken out the r-word for. But this line of attack seems to be gathering credence and being repeated by others. Have these people seen her interrogate someone?

R31 It's called misogyny.

R26 I know we say it so often here, but Lawrence REALLY WAS on fire tonight!!

[quote] But this line of attack seems to be gathering credence...

LoL, r31, no it isn't. The woman is Vice-President, former senator and former AG of CA...she is *not* retarded.

R34. That was exactly my point. "Credence" was the wrong choice of word. What I meant is that I'm hearing the ludicrous assertion that she is dumb coming from others than just Trump and his campaign. Which is why I asked if any of them had seen her conduct an interrogation, proof of her brilliance. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify.

WHET Miles Taylor? He use to be a regular on Deadline White House and I haven't seen him in weeks.

R34 One recent example of someone who should know better, but stupidly claims that Harris is not smart, comes from this episode of The Bullwark podcast. Tim Miller takes on one of the billionaire Silicon Valley VC bros who have flipped and become Trump supporters. He does an excellent job of refuting each of his claims. Oddly enough he doesn't even bother to address the suggestion that Kamala isn't smart but JD Vance is. Listen at your own risk.

R37 To be fair to Calacanis, fwiw much of this he is explaining the prevailing perception of Harris among Silicon Valley Trump supporters, not necessarily his beliefs.

[quote] WHET Miles Taylor?

You know, that having been the famous Anonymous in the first administration, this guy is at the top of Trump's shit-list hit-list if he gets back in. Time to make a plan.

Saw on YT Rachael talking with Chris Hayes tonight about TFG trying to quieten Stormy Daniels again. Rachael has all the receipts.

Once again, God bless Lawrence O'Donnell.

Hillary Rodham Clinton was on the Last Word tonight and my thoughts went back to 2016 and she wasn't able to speak for more than two minutes without breaking into a coughing fit. She seems in great health now no coughing problems, I can't help but wonder if Putin was poisoning her in 2016, it isn't like he hasn't done that type of thing before. She seemed rather sickly in 2016 and now she seems to be the picture of health.

R42 Are you sure you weren't watching Fox news clips of Hillary back in 2016?

Hillz did seem to be in poor health back in 2016, and it was obvious she was lying about what was wrong. She was coughing constantly and passed out several times. She’s either better now or on the right medications.

Novichok in 2016 was easier to administer.

Did Mika do a dress change mid-show?

I thought Hillary looked beautiful on Lawrence's show last night.

R47, Hills was fizzing on Lawrence's show. She looks so much better with shorter hair. She seems very excited with Harris and how she's travelled these last few months.

R47 Can I add that I also thought Chelsea was looking great recently on The View. Nice to see how she has come into her own.

I'll never forget Rush Limbaugh's comment on Chelsea when Clinton came into office - "And you thought Amy Carter was a dog." Proving even back then, for the ancestral MAGA, the cruelty is the point.

Chris Hayes watchers, this evening, I played it back but still not sure I heard him correctly. When talking to the Harris campaign staffer, did Chris a) say he was surprised that housing was a campaign policy issue, and b) claim he didn’t really hear policy from Harris. He’s not a fave, so I don’t watch him regularly, and don’t know if this is a (somewhat dumb) statement he would make or if I did mishear.

R50 I didn't see tonight's show so I can't answer your question, but I just have to warn you might have awoken the Chris Hayes loon who rhapsodizes about Hayes' meaty thighs on a regular basis.

r51, the loon, has moved on to Ayman's meaty thighs.

Hon, while you're at the store, pick up some meaty thighs.

[quote]the Chris Hayes loon who rhapsodizes about Hayes' meaty thighs on a regular basis.

The Hayes loon talks about his bulging chest.

Watching him harangue VP Harris this afternoon, I'm thinking Peter Alexander is auditioning to replace Fox's Bret Baier.

MAGA man through and through.

Closet case who thinks he’s butch. Lololololol

3+ weeks to go, Kamala is still looking fresh. Trump never did, but is visibly getting worse by the day.

OMG! Kenny G is on The Beat!

R55, Alexander was no surprise to Harris as he is a regular in the Press room. She knew she could handle him, as she did.

Is Ari done with rap? I mean, Kenny G?

WOW! British Journalist Ed Augustin is reporting from Cuba today, during their electrical outage. Damn, he's one of the hottest guys they've ever featured. Damn ! Any naked pictures of him leaking out on the internet ?

R61 I'm trying to think of one on-air news reporter who has naked pictures out on the internet. Idk, were there dick pics of Matt Lauer that leaked? Maybe that female sports reporter. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the probability seems low.

Before 'revenge porn' became a legality across the country, there was always a disgruntled old lover who will send out the naked selfies of the TV journalist which were sent to him / her by these guys in the past. Then the scorned lover pretends, " I don't know how those were leaked on the internet - wasn't me !"

It's heartening to hear that a lot of even Republican voters in Arizona have a visceral hatred of Kari Lake. To the degree that they are willing to vote for Gallego.

She's *so* fucking strident, r64.

Yep, I used the right word.

[quote]presenting a point of view, especially a controversial one, in an excessively and unpleasantly forceful way.

I prefer Capitol police officer Michael Fanone's choice of words on Deadline Whitehouse, live and unedited. "Kari Lake is shit."

Sorry, correction, that was "is a piece of shit".

^Paywall, r68.

I believe you fags are talking about me…

R70 Right now we're talking about Arnie. So how big is "unbelievable"?

Ugh. Billy Porter, on with Jonathan Capeheart, was enough to spoil my appetite, as he was at his most common. I'll be having a late dinner (if then).

Has anyone seen Fanone in the shower ? Can we verify he's hung with low hangers ?

' Peter Alexander isn't gay.

[quote] —Thomas Roberts, of the juicy ass

I recall seeing Alexander and Roberts on set together, and the host remarking that they could be twins. I didn't see it.

Some cute gut from Politico is talking on MJ this morning - his name is Kyle Cheney. YUM! Sexy guy with a very slight lisp, which makes him sexier. I'd love to have him in my bed.

I'm not into guts.

R76 Cheney makes the occasional appearance on Chris Hayes' show. He's a terrific reporter. I recommend his twitter feed.

Would someone just slap Eddie Glaude? Thank you.

Ugggh… Ms, Eddie (preachy, pontificating, prentious, and exhausting-blowhard, Glaude)…. Again! I couldn’t grab the remote fast enough, and managed to break a nail doing so. Thanks for nothing, Ed.

Is "Distinguished Professor" an actual title, or is Nicolle just being generous?

Am I the only DLer who would dearly love Jonathan Lamire to suck my cock while I pull his beautiful red hair?

WHET Joyce Vance??

Rachel turning up the heat.

R83 Joyce Vance was sent to a beauty spa in Aspen back in August for a complete make-over from head to toe. They're not done with her, and she hasn't been discharged yet. They're hoping she'll be done in January.

R82 - “ Am I the only DLer who would dearly love Jonathan Lamire to suck my cock while I pull his beautiful red hair?”

Uhhh, I would say pretty much, but there are a few who fantasize about that mincing queen. I’m waiting for her to blow the hinges off her closet door.

I'd like to forcibly thrust that smirk right off his face.

With your cock, R87?

r82, is that the color this week?

I see Ari is back to the skunk top.

That stretched out tee shirt Ari had on had stains on the chest.

Nicolle Wallace reading reporting in the Atlantic that said F***ing but she actually said Fucking.

"...fucking Mexican".

Someone must have said something to her because when she repeated Trump's comment she said bleeping Mexican.

Thank you, Nicolle, for quoting, uncensored and in its entirety, donald's alleged statement regarding the funeral expenses for a young soldier:

[quote]It doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican ... Don't pay it! ... Can you believe it? Fucking people, trying to rip me off."

Lordy. Please let the October surprise come in the form of a "hot" microphone.

Red velvet cake!

Its interesting to see what language the cable networks allow and don't. Back in the "Grab 'em by the pussy" era, CNN played the Access Hollywood tape uncensored in the evening/night shows, not during the day. Never heard "pussy" on MSNBC, and prior to "fucking," the only typically uncensored I've heard there is "bullshit."

The Meme that John Kelly is a good man is bogus, he went to the White House microphones to defame a Florida Congresswoman, he lied for Trump.

She was just quoting him.

Wow I never thought I would see the day that praise came from donalds-worst-nightmare about Nicolle Wallace, I have seen everything now.

Yes, R98, we discussed at the time (and since then) our disdain for both Kelly and donald regarding their callous treatment of Rep. Wilson and the young, pregnant widow whom she represented.

Kelly is no admirable human being by any stretch of the imagination.

Good ol' Niger...

Joy didn't go there.

Joy said F-ing

That's red velvet cake, I tell you!

Oh my God, Al Cárdenas just mentioned it! Is he a DLer?

I did not know that Al Cárdenas was CNN's Ana Navaro's husband, I seem to remember some pretty despicable comments he has made about Democrats in the past, him turning on Trump is huge. Well I can't remember any actual things he has said in the past just my complete revolution towards him.

NIcolle also said shit bag yesterday on her show.

Such a potty mouth.

[quote] Such a potty mouth.

I'm mentioned this once before, but John Heilemann once said on his podcast that Nicolle Wallace has the filthiest mouth of anybody he knows.

Yikes, those black women Alex talked to are voting for Trump. Unbelievable.

I just couldn't watch them. Too stupid to live, much less vote.

There's so much hate out there it's scary.

That one black woman Trump supporter saying she wouldn't vote for Harris because she did have the education or the experience. Yet Trump was elected with zero government experience. He ran a minor real estate business has settled lawsuits for fraud multiple times, bankrupted several businesses and loves dictators and wants to be one.

I don't get how people think that the inflation the US has experienced the last few years would not have happened under a second Trump term, it hit every country in the world but it wouldn't have hit Trump? That is like claiming that if Hillary had been elected Covid wouldn't have hit the US. Just crazy.

Other than the huge gap between his two front teeth, I think Jon Favreau is adorable. I know he isn't respected here, but I think he is adorable.

What's with Favreau and that Adam's apple?

Oh wow they photoshopped his teeth for his Speaker Bureau photo.

[quote] I don't get how people think that the inflation the US has experienced the last few years would not have happened under a second Trump term, it hit every country in the world but it wouldn't have hit Trump?

There wouldn't have been inflation under Trump because Trump is a BUSINESSMAN. He would have called all the gas stations and grocery stores and said, "Stop raising your prices!"

He may use the old mortician's wax trick, ala Lauren Hutton.

Why does Obama has such a problem with people Booing? You can vote and then Boo. You can Boo and then vote. Silence about the horrible things Trump says and does makes it seem like people don't care.

Was good to see Miles Taylor is still alive. TFG and his loons haven't silenced him yet.

Eminem 🇺🇸 [quote] “I’m here tonight for a couple of important reasons. As most of you know, the City of Detroit and the whole State of Michigan mean a lot to me. Going into this election the spotlight is on us more than ever, and it’s important for you to use your voice, so I’m encouraging everyone to get out and vote. I also think that people shouldn’t be afraid to express their opinions, and I don’t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution or what people will do if you make your opinion known. I think that VP Harris supports a future for this country where these freedoms and many others will be protected and upheld. And, here to tell you much more about that, I’m proud to introduce President Barack Obama.“

From what it sounds like, I made the right decision to skip Alex Wagner tonight. I don't want to hear from thrown together panels of undecideds or people who are still on the fence and might potentially vote for Trump at this point. Don't care to hear any of it.

I wonder what Putin thinks of Trump's love of Hitler. I don't think Putin likes Trump, just considers him a useful idiot but all Russians hate Hitler, Putin can't like Trump admiring Hitler.

[quote]I don't get how people think that the inflation the US has experienced the last few years would not have happened under a second Trump term, it hit every country in the world but it wouldn't have hit Trump?

Logic is not part of the equation for Trump supporters.

R125 Just look at their willingness to believe Trump's tariffs will be a great thing that will wipe out the deficit - while even the WSJ slams them as hugely inflationary.

[quote] Its interesting to see what language the cable networks allow and don't. Back in the "Grab 'em by the pussy" era, CNN played the Access Hollywood tape uncensored in the evening/night shows, not during the day. Never heard "pussy" on MSNBC, and prior to "fucking," the only typically uncensored I've heard there is "bullshit."

To her credit, I remember Ana Navarro being chastised for directly quoting “grab ‘em by the pussy” on a CNN show and clapping back at the other woman chastising her. Something along the lines of “I’M NOT saying this, HE IS!”

In that vein I have noted that 3 cable newswomen, Ana (of course), Nicolle and Erin B. all directly quoted our previous President’s comment. I was sad to see Lawrence chicken out at 10p tonight. And yes… NOONE needs to apologize for quoting him. HE owes the apology!

r120, booing is a finite act to the event.

Obama has turned booing into a call to action.

Got that?

Said it before and I'll say it again. If MSNBC is going to insist on interviewing these "undecided" and Dump voters and supporters, make them defend their choices with some facts and reasoning.

Of course, that could never happen. So DON'T interview them!

MSNBC does these to put the FEAR OF STUPID in their viewers.

And they do it with non-confrontational Alex Wagner. The perfect bobble head to ask these questions.

The only thing that is amazing is that she does it without using the words thug or urban. Just like Ari.

Reverend Al needs to be asking, Nigga, why do you want to walk back to the plantation? Where do you get your news?

[quote] Nicolle Wallace reading reporting in the Atlantic that said F***ing but she actually said Fucking.

Last night on Anderson Cooper's CNN show Ana Navarro also quoted Trump saying Fucking Mexican and also said Shithole countries, even Anderson's colorless white face couldn't manage a blush. Cussing is now the norm on TV, thanks Trump.

Cussing is the norm, FINALLY, because it is reporters actually reporting the words said instead of sane washing and sanitizing them.

Will we finally hear the Burnett tapes of Trump saying nigger?

[quote]Will we finally hear the Burnett tapes of Trump saying nigger?

Wouldn't move the needle at all.

Alex Wagner’s panel of undecideds were probably all paid actors. She’s a dumb fraud.

The firehouse of stupid was depressing as hell.

Alex Wagner all about the clicks.

She is dying for a SCOOP!

[quote]r114 = That one black woman Trump supporter saying she wouldn't vote for Harris because she did have the education or the experience.

Did Alex tell her that if something happened to Joe that...?

The Fox trolls need to up the quality of their rhetoric. R134

Ah so that’s why Kamala spoke to the press today. Joy Reid showed the cover of the NYT and the papers in the swing states and not a mention of the Kelly comments. The NYT did the interview and they didn’t even run it. The papers and the political sites are running BS about Trump’s “punchy” final message.

I hope Kamala brings it up at the town hall and then Barack and Michelle roast him on stage this weekend. MSNBC is practically centrist this cycle, crazy.

Is Michelle going to make another speech? How fabulous! I could listen to her all day.

Yes. She’ll be out on Saturday in Michigan with Kamala. It’s the one we’re all waiting for. If it’s anything like the DNC speech it will skin Trump alive and get more publicity than his Nazi rally which will enrage him.

R141 Kalamazoo rally between 3 & 8 pm, on Sat. local time. And again on Tuesday from Atlanta.

I have to say this:

I know how much he is disliked here, but I would love to have John Kelly fuck me -in a hot shower. I do find him sexy and think he's a powerhouse top (no I don't like his politics). As for regular talking head Tim Miller, I know he's not liked here (either) but I'd love to top him. Rip that shirt open and rip his peals off from around his neck. He's sexy to me, too.

Ok - back to our regular programming...

R143, you'd snap Tim in half mate.

OMG Lawrence says he will be working the next two Friday nights.

Ari seems to have given up the harsh black dye job on his hair after a day or two. Much more handsome with the natural salt and pepper and the hot white patch on top.

Hilarious that Lawrence called out "Donald Drumpf" while running him down for his Hitler admiring bullshit.

I’m convinced it’s a wiglet, R141

[quote] you'd snap Tim in half mate.

Right, Tim Miller in person is waif-like.

Apparently, the mood is all cheery at Mara-Lardo, thinking they've got it in the bag. Shades of the RNC convention. Just wait, they'll be shitting themselves when Harris walks away with it.

^^I agree that Kamala will walk away with a handy lead in votes. It doesn't mean she'll walk away with the election.

For the week starting the day after the election, it's gonna be brutal! We can't assume. We can't become complacent.

[quote]For the week starting the day after the election, it's gonna be brutal! We can't assume. We can't become complacent.

I can't believe this is an election is one where violence wouldn't be surprising and one of the least likely things to happen is Donald Trump losing and conceding defeat without accusations of rigging.

[quote]For the week starting the day after the election, it's gonna be brutal! We can't assume. We can't become complacent.

Trying again without errors:

I can't believe this is an election where violence wouldn't be surprising and one of the least likely things to happen is Donald Trump losing and conceding defeat without accusations of rigging.

I may be crazy, but I disagree. I think the severe punishments and jail time of hundreds (thousands?) of Jan. 6 insurrectionists will be a warning against physical violence in the outcome of the election.

And, oh yeah, Kamala will win by a landslide.

Wow, Springsteen is doing a lot of songs.

^Three but they went on for awhile.

In 2020 I went dark on election day, no media at all until my family texted me when the race was called. It worked surprisingly well, I was able to distract myself but it was a very long week. I'm debating whether to try it again this year.

I love it when Obama talks about Trump, nobody does it better.

[quote]In 2020 I went dark on election day, no media at all until my family texted me when the race was called. It worked surprisingly well, I was able to distract myself but it was a very long week. I'm debating whether to try it again this year.

You sound like me, R157. I did my best to avoid the news channels that evening and checked online once before going to bed, but was relieved when things were trending Biden's way. I'm planning on doing that again and just hope it isn't a repeat of 2016, which was awful.

These races will all depend on how much white women and non-racist men hate Trump.

I'll be up until a winner is declared. Of course, when Trump loses he'll insist he won and it will become a shitshow.

[quote]Why does Obama has such a problem with people Booing? You can vote and then Boo. You can Boo and then vote.

My take on this is that Obama probably feels it necessary to not encourage "impolite" behavior from his audience (no matter how justified), particularly given the (rightful) criticism that Dump received from the left for not stopping the MAGA morons from chanting "Lock her up!" about Hillary Clinton.

Fair or not (and it isn't), Democrats always have to take the higher road even when the lower one is more than warranted.

No, he was simply pointing out that the boos didn't actually help. but that voting did.

Harris's closing argument at the Ellipse is permitted for 7500. You know Trump is going to piss on that, and tout his 01/06 crowd size. I'm wondering if they can even get that many on a Tuesday with short notice. Maybe. Either way, it's kind of another ballsy move on her part.

President Obama is not attempting to placate the attendees, he is merely reminding them that "actions speak louder than words." Don't waste energy booing; put it to better use volunteering, donating and voting.

He is the surrogate, not the candidate, and is more politically astute than to patronize Vice President Harris' followers by seeming to parent their behavior, as suggested upthread.

"Don't Boo. Vote!" is a mutually calculated call-and-response.

[quote] No, he was simply pointing out that the boos didn't actually help. but that voting did.

I don't remember which recent rally it was but people started Booing and instead of his " Don't Boo, Vote" he said in a rather stern fatherly tone, "I am going to break you of doing that" that was when I posted wondering why Obama has such a problem with Booing.

Lawrence is actually working tonight instead of taking Friday off as usual, it will be funny if his show is mostly preempted by the Queen Bee and Kamala rally.

He's working next Friday as well, r167.

And Rachel never works.

Really R169? Do Podcasts, books, documentaries not mean work at MSNBC?

All the networks are belt-tightening wrt on-air talent salaries. Speculated as one of the reasons for Hoda's departure. Even Rachel is unlikely to renew her sweetheart contract at $30mil

There’s no excuse for that dumb bitch making $30mil for one hour a week. Her commentary is stupid anyway.

Right, I'm with you. She's just so dumb. And a bitch too. Plus she says stupid things.

[quote]There’s no excuse for that dumb bitch making $30mil for one hour a week

[quote]Right, I'm with you. She's just so dumb.

I adore Rachel. To each their own. Where did you two get *your* doctorates?

MSNBC has some of the crappiest broadcast engineers. They play the wrong sound and video clips waaay too many times, along with the wonky camera movements. This is a major cable news station. WTF!?!

R174 Keep forgetting my sarcasm will be taken literally, thought it was obvious. R173

Meant to say that the trolls here seem to be challenged.

Yes, Rachel is now a lazy bitch.

I am confusing the sarcasm from the definitive statements.

Please use a sarc emoticon or other signifier that you are not making a definitive statement.

Rachel is the dumbest PHD, Rhodes Scholar on the MSNBC bench. [sarc]

Republicans are down to only Evangelical White Racist MEN as not only their base but their entire FUCKING PARTY.

The rest of us are the Garbage Can.

In White Jesus we White Racists Trust [sarc]

The Garbage Can is E Pluribus Unum for idiots.

Despite the makeover Elise Stefanik still looks like an earthworm with a face.

Some sort of...squares, Claire?

So I guess Ian Bassin is married? He was just on Nicolle's show and appeared to have on a wedding ring.

I noticed the wedding ring also, I had tried to see if there was one on previous interviews and couldn't see on, Bassin is nerdy but he is sexy nerdy.

Nicolle must have had the law laid down to her, now she won't even say shit, which had become a regular on her show.

Oh right we got a bullshit from Nicolle.

You got a RIGHTEOUS bullshit from Nicolle!

Ari back to that jet black wiglet. It’s a harsh look, Ari. Bring back that gray spot wiglet. It’s authentic looking.

Nicolle cried "bullshit" just today!

What R172 said. She’s overrated, and beyond overpaid. Enough of the oooh Rachel, oooh Rachel adornments.

Sexy (and smart!) Kamala Harris Communications Director MICHAEL TYLER on with Jenn Psaki tonight! He sometimes wears a low-cut dress shirt showing magnificent cleavage but, sadly, not tonight.

I came upon some awful comedienne with Ari doing a terrible Kamala imitation tonight. She sounded more like Molly Jong-Fast than Kamala.

Ari is desperate for Indy cred

R189, that is why I no longer watch Ari's show. I just could not take him seriously anymore. It's so obvious he has little interest in covering politics and would instead prefer to be an entertainer, which is fine, but he should go get himself a talk show over on the E! Channel where he belongs and let someone else (like Katie Phang) have his time slot on MSNBC. Everybody wins.

Muthah Daniels is only missing huh Sunday church hat on Jen Psaki’s show. 🙄Hard to take Miss Thing seriously with huh green Lee press on nails and quiana blouse.

R192, I know that bitch has a good friend out there who has told her to do something about her fashion sense.

Mika amps up the blonde by several notches. Too brash for even me, said Pamela Harriman.

Chasten was on DeadLine White House, man that hairline is receding fast. He will be bald by 45.

Ari has the skunk wiglet back on, thank gawd.

Ari is not bald.

OOOOH, yes, Mr. Michael Tyler is at the ellipse with Kamal. Open another shirt button, Michael!

You’re blind R197, it’s obvious. I’m certainly not the only one here who thinks he wears a piece.

What *is* that under the dome?

I am not balding r195! My hair is falling out from the stress of being a working single mother!

Children take EVERYTHING from you! If I had known it would be this challenging I would have told Peter to get me a cat!

[quote] I’m certainly not the only one here who thinks he wears a piece.

That's true, you're not the only one, and that makes you not the only one who is wrong.

Take comfort in that.

I'll be watching MSNBC on election night. They'll be happy and I'll be happy when Kamala wins. It will be historic!

Is it the make-up? How does Joy suddenly look like she's a member of the Staple Singers tonight?

Thank you Lawrence for mentioning Teri Garr. She was a treasure.

Stephanie Ruhl is a very attractive woman. The best looking of all the women hosts.

She's also very sharp.

She used to be a taxi dancer.

R206 I know she's not very popular on this thread, but I think that honor goes to Alex Wagner. I think she's absolutely striking!

R208, is that anything like a private dancer?

Is the 11th Hour pre-taped, how come there’s never a handoff from Lawrence to Stephanie (he never did one for Brian either)?

I noticed Lawrence went a minute over tonight. He was a total bitch to Ayman a few months ago, when Ayman was:subbing for Alex Wagner and did that to him. I didn’t hear an apology to Stephanie Ruhle tonight.

The word on the streets is that Lawrence can be a total bitch.

I'm not surprised about Lawrence's bitchability, but I was surprised at how well Chasten carries himself and communicates. I had never seen him commenting live before

Both Chasten and Pete are excellent representatives of why Lawrence and Obergefell were rightly decided.

I am not sure how to feel on election day, the last thing I want to do is be all pumped up for a Harris win, watch all the MSNBC folk getting excited, then some possible turn for the worse. I still remember Rachael Maddows face and tone of her voice when it suddenly hit her Trump might win in 2016. By the same token I dont want to deny myself true happiness if she wins. And on top of that we have to deal with election count surprises you just know MAGA is already geared up to do.

r215, MSNBC is set up for a fierce battle on election night and will only be satisfied when Fox calls it again for Biden/Harris/Walz.

To the Ari Melber Wears a Toupee Loon, please watch him on Morning Joe this morning as the camera zooms around his entire head in closeup and then come back here and try and make your idiotic claim once again.

I'm no particular fan of Ari but he clearly has one full head of hair.

[quote]I still remember Rachael Maddows face and tone of her voice when it suddenly hit her Trump might win in 2016.

You would think for a political “expert” who has a PhD from Oxford and makes $30mil for working one hour per week, she could be expected to have more of a fucking clue about politics.

I watch Ari every day. It’s obviously a piece. Do fuck right off, R210.

R215 Unless there's a landslide (unlikely) it'll be days (weeks) before a decision. Take Tuesday off, do something fun (possible last chance). You know Trump will be declaring victory regardless, who wants to stick around for that shit. I'm taking a day trip down the coast, and then getting soused.

R219 Okay, dear.

You had some issue with Stephanie as a private dancer? R210

Thanks R220, I might do that but I am kind of a night owl, up till 4am when all that new breaks who finally won or some dramatic shift in direction. When everyone wakes up to their surprise, I already know about it. Honestly we will kind of know before that, even if their are dozens of legal challenges or rouge voter officials gumming up the works. Democrats wont stand for that if it's a clear electoral win for Harris.

But isn't PA pivotal? They take days to finalize.

Yeah, but it may not be as close in PA as some people think.

Taxi dancers aren't "private" dancers, r221.

Is Stephanie’s bra strap showing on Deadline White House?

She was a taxi dancer, r226, so probably.

I fucking despise SCOTUS!!!

I do too R228, but Mark Elias just said that the current SCOTUS decision in Virginia won’t affect the election at all. It’s just their awful governor, trying to appeal to the MAGATS.

Jane still doesn't have old lady voice.

But she looks fucking AWFUL.

Eyebrows, dentures (or very bad implants), the hair, the makeup, the overdone PS--it's just a LOT of look to process. Detracted from whatever she was on to discuss.

Imo.

Yeah, I love Jane, but I was very disappointed that she had to be so slathered up with makeup and god know what else to appear on a news program. She honestly looked inhuman.

Like *you* bitches couldn't use a couple coats of greasepaint.

That was acrylic latex, not greasepaint, r233.

You, r234, could use a couple cans of Krylon.

Still one of my favorite ever DL OPs was that Oscars night when Jane did the ponytail.

The pic and post:

[quote][bold]Girl, NO![/bold]

^ See, I still think she carries it off.

R194. Finally someone else who remembers Pamela Harriman! Now, who can name her husbands?

Leland Hayward was one! And Averell Harriman (duh!) was another. And was there a Churchill or a Roosevelt somewhere in the mix?

Definitely a Churchill. Winston’s son. There’s a new bio that I want to read. When I have more time once this election is over.

That bitch Pam’s husbands-

Randolph Churchill (she fucked Averell Harriman behind his back)

Leland Hayward (she stole him from Slim Keith, and his stepdaughter wrote “Haywire” to reveal what an evil bitch she was)

Averell Harriman (married a month after his wife died)

She also fucked Gianni Agnelli (who set her up with a fabulous Paris apartment) and Aristotle Onassis. After Onassis died and Jackie was fighting with Christina over the estate, she said, “Jackie should have known better. Greeks never share their money.”

She used Averell’s money to set up PACs to support Democrats in the 80s, including Bill Clinton, who made her Ambassador to France. In France she had a young lover, and fought her Harriman stepdaughters over the family fortune she squandered on bad investments.

She died in the swimming pool of the Ritz in Paris.

Colorful life, but keep your husband away from her.

R241 Thanks for the thorough and colorful rundown. What's that bio called?

I know she has some detractors on this thread, but I just love Nicolle, especially here....

R242, the newest one is entitled, “Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman’s Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction and Intrigue.”

R243 Love how she stakes out ownership of her corner of the desk, then catches herself, then continues using it. Don't think I've ever seen a guest do that. Comes with the job I guess,

Molly Jong-Fast’s makeover is impressive. She may no longer look like a Methadone Clinic client, but she still looks like a corpse. Much has been said about the low quality make up people @ MSNBC, but I’d like to add the lighting folks. C’mon, you a re NATIONAL tv network. This is the best you can do?

I want to bear Andrew Ross Sorkin’s children. Hubba hubba.

I agree Sorkin is attractive, but he's a little too pretty for me.

Could mean he is an animal in bed. His wife is much more flashy than one would expect.

Anyway, that discussion yesterday with Nicolle, Andrew, and Stephanie was excellent. I wish there would be more of that type of "round table." You can learn so much just listening to all sides of the argument, and learn what they REALLY think.

Stephanie Ruhle loved that discussion so much she replayed it on her show later that night.

R246. Molly has done well with her make over. She still looks wild, but toned down enough for a regular on MSNBC, and of course she is smarter than most everyone else. Andrew Ross Sorkin is dreamy, and he's a bigger guy than I used to think and clearly hits the gym. Joi occasionally has had some really bad makeup efforts, but lately those have faded away. I'm glad she doesn't try the half bald with a braid topper look she was doing for a while. Keep it simple. Nicolle needs a haircut. She's too old for that long hair look that is so popular. Though she did catch a new husband with it. (Shades of Joe and Micka!) And he's ten years younger, too.

r250, have you seen photos/video of Nicolle with shorter hair prior to her time at MSNBC? She has a big head and a long skinny neck, bit of a bobble head effect. I don't think she'll be cutting her hair, probably her best asset, anytime soon.

I love Joy's simple short blonde Afro. But I wish she'd still tone down her makeup and wardrobe. It's distracting and she's too smart for distractions.

I wonder if Andrew Ross Sorkin has ever done a tinted contact lens in one of his eyes. I find the difference in his eyes scary.

Molly Jong Fast - is there something weird about her hands and fingers? I can't stop focusing on them when she's talking.

How bad is Cecille Richards' cancer? Tuesday morning she was on MJ with Mika handling the interview, and she sounded so unlike herself. I thought she'd had a stroke or Parkinsons. I couldn't see her since I was on my SiriusXM app, and I was getting my old Dad ready for a doctor's appointment so I hadn't time to turn on the TV. Did a quick lookup and saw she has cancer.

I absolutely love her like I adored her mother, and I so hope she recovers 100%.

R251, Molly looks like she's got Rheumatoid arthritis. (I'm no Doctor mind you).

Nicolle is such a patronizing, laughing fool, Rosie Perez, and no "friend" as you well know. I don't blame you for using her show to get your message out, just sorry that you have to tolerate her presence.

How is she incredulous at the Puerto Ricans' not being numb, but lashing out, at the negative comments about them? And to actually ask why?

Poor Mike Schmidt.

Well, it looks like Joy not only took my advice but overdid it. Tonight, she appears to be wearing no makeup (except, of course, for her usual heavy base) and a stark black top. Simple hoop earrings.

You need a little color, gurl!

Chris Hayes is on fire tonight!!

He really is. Loving tonight's rant about Dump, vaccines, RFK Jr, etc.

Did Chris Hayes just imply that Jessie Watters is cheating on his wife? by saying

[quote] Not sure Jessie Watters should be throwing around his takes on infidelity on Television but that is just my opinion.

He’s likely referring to the fact that Jessie cheated on his last wife with the current wife who is 15 years younger, left the ex wife high and dry with a few young kids and now has the brass balls to pontificate.

Molly's hair is unattractive. Pick one of the colors and be done with it.

I would eat Andrew Ross Sorkin’s, no doubt, immaculate ass, until it evaporated.

Anna Cabrera standing next to Jose Diaz-Balart looks to be at least a foot shorter than him.

[quote] Molly's hair is unattractive. Pick one of the colors and be done with it.

It distracts from her unattractive face.

NBC News and MSNBC’s Election Day Gameplan: Data Is the Star of the Show:

Nicolle’s hair.

Steve Schmidt has returned to MSNBC!

Steve Schmidt is back!

[quote] Nicolle doing her best to shame Dubya into doing the right thing.

Bush isn't a respected person by MAGA or the left, there might be a handful of people he could influence but I would be hard pressed to identify them.

I am equally unimpressed with Michael Ludig, while I agree with his message I don't get this notion that he is suppose to be this impressive legal scholar. All these conservatives have been pushing this anti abortion message for years, calling Democrats baby killers and electing more extreme right wing politicians, we are reaping what they have sowed for year and years now. This is on all of them.

[quote]Steve Schmidt is back!

And telling it like it is!

[quote] This is on all of them.

And don't forget all the Berniecrats & Jill Stein supporters who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary!

I hope we see more of Steve Schmidt over the next several days. His informed passion is needed now more than ever.

Michael Steele, Alicia Menendez and Steve Schmidt hosting would give me reason to watch two days of The Weekend; take the weekend off, Simone, and tend to your talons

Is Steve Schmidt making any predictions about next week’s election?

He believes Harris will win.

Comcast which owns MSNBC is considering spinning off its cable broadcast business, which means that NBC News would no longer be affiliated with MSNBC

[quote] A big one for Comcast’s plan involves CNBC and MSNBC. While CNBC has historically been run as its own news organization, completely separated from NBC News, MSNBC has long leaned on NBC reporting a a complement to its opinion shows.

[quote] If the spinoff goes through, MSNBC may need to build out its own news organization, cut some sort of deal to continue using NBC News resources, or abandon newsgathering altogether to focus on opinion.

R281 “Michael Steele, Alicia Menendez and Steve Schmidt hosting would give me reason to watch two days of The Weekend; take the weekend off, Simone, and tend to your talons.”

I’d like to make one tweak….Have that preachy, pontificating, blowhard, former RNC chairperson Steele, help Simone tend to her talons way off camera. I can’t stand that phoney fucking guy. You wait and see; the next time a “somewhat tolerable” repug runs for president, Steele will do a 180, and will glue his tongue to that person’s asshole.

Steve Schmidt:

[quote]I expect the Vice President will become the President-Elect next Tuesday. I also anticipate, and we must gird ourselves for the possibility, that donald trump will appear before the cameras and declare himself the victor prematurely, early without any basis in reality, and that will set in motion chaos.

R250: MSNBC's DL Intern appears to have delivered your message regarding Nicolle's hair, and she is exploring new looks (wearing it up today).

R285, Michael Steele is needed because one always needs a hot daddy.

Bush isn't going to say shit because Trump probably has his WH visitors logs

What was the name of the gay for pay guy?

[quote] I also anticipate, and we must gird ourselves for the possibility, that donald trump will appear before the cameras and declare himself the victor prematurely,

Prognostications like that are the reason he gets paid the big bucks.

There was a mystery WH reporter/visitor named Jeff Gannon, but my memory is foggy.

Ari seems to be wearing red, white and blue striped neck ties every night.

I’m listening to Ari on Sirius, so don’t have the video. This Connie Chung interview is AI, right? It sound like a goof that Howard Stern would have spliced together from clips of her.

I wish I could share the above enthusiasm for Steve Schmidt. I was once a huge fan! He's a brilliant speaker, much of what he has previously spoken (and is probably saying now) is accurate, important, and should be heard!

But he's a fucking grifter! Almost as bad as Trump himself. It's why we haven't seen him in awhile, (so I'm wondering why we're seeing him now).

Too tired to google links at the moment, but, for starters, he took a substantial amount of Lincoln Project funding - and instead of putting it towards Democrat Candidates in 2020 and 2022 - candidates who could now be serving in The Senate and Congress had they not lost by a slim amount - he used donation funds towards his own $4 million dollar estate in Utah.

Showtime did a documentary about The Lincoln Project and it's founders. A documentary that Schmidt himself first heavily promoted, then became suddenly quiet about when he viewed it in its entirety.

Joy Ann Reid had Julio Vaqueiro from Telemundo as a guest and I just kept thinking, Me and Julio down by the school yard.

When Rosie Perez was on Nicolle's show this week I yelled at the tv to her that she should have won the Supporting Actress oscar for Fearless. Too bad she couldn't hear me.

OMG, I was screaming at Julio, Take me now!!!!

What a doll. That smile! MSNBC should give him Alex Wagner's slot right now.

Goodness! When did AOC's boobs get so large? Is she pregnant?

LoL, r295, I noticed them as well.

I'm watching from afar but have watched some of Steve's U Tube channel. 'The Warning' for a monologue it's very choppy. He must do his own editing. I don't know anything about him but he seems passionate about telling the viewers how it is. He certainly looks better in a dress skirt and jacket.

I have a crush on pollster Tom Bonier. He is has an adorable face and has baby blue eyes.

But is Tom bonier?

[quote] All these conservatives have been pushing this anti abortion message for years, calling Democrats baby killers and electing more extreme right wing politicians, we are reaping what they have sowed for year and years now. This is on all of them.

Has Nicolle Wallace ever addressed this? She (rightfully) calls out Trump and the Republicans for overturning Roe and denying women their reproductive rights, but neglects to mention that her buddies George W. Bush and John McCain held similar views.

Tom Boner

Point me, too, in the direction of Telemundo, R295 and R297.

Hola. ¿Can Julio come out to play?

[quote] It's why we haven't seen him in a while, (so I'm wondering why we're seeing him now).

Schmidt was fond of appearing remotely from various rooms in his Montecito trophy home. Maybe the Jersey boy just got himself a little overextended.

Thought this must be AI. But it's not. Trump decompensates, Unfortunately, it can't be unseen.

some context

The Weekend will have an hour long evening show tonight at 9PM EDT.

We've been waiting in vain to hear all these reformed Republicans on MSNBC to at least talk about, much less admit, their participation in this debacle. That it's been going on for years and their acquiescence over the years led us here. Their hands are not clean.

To my knowledge, David Jolly is the only one that has. And while I enjoy listening and learning from people like Michael Steel, Sarah Longwell,, and Tim Miller, I fear they will go right back to their old ways once the stench has lifted. If it ever does.

I should at least read Miller's book, "Why We Did It: A Travelogue from the Republican Road to Hell." Maybe he mea culpa's.

[quote] We've been waiting in vain to hear all these reformed Republicans on MSNBC to at least talk about, much less admit, their participation in this debacle. That it's been going on for years and their acquiescence over the years led us here. Their hands are not clean. ... To my knowledge, David Jolly is the only one that has.

Stuart Stevens also has renounced his old Republican ways and admits that Trump is just an extension of what the GOP had been pushing for years. He wrote the book "It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump."

For many of the other Never Trumper/Bulwark/Lincoln Project types, I wonder what they will do if Harris wins and Trump finally starts to fade from view. Will they continue to support Harris? Or will they turn on her and accuse her of being too extreme and not "reaching across the aisle" enough?

Symone and all her “Uhmm. Uhmm.” Is nerve wracking. She’s not a good speaker and not ready for TV.

[quote] I wonder what they will do if Harris wins and Trump finally starts to fade from view. Will they continue to support Harris? Or will they turn on her and accuse her of being too extreme and not "reaching across the aisle" enough?

No chance the Republican Party would ever welcome these prominent heretics back.

I trust you feel the same way about all the progressives who let Hillary down.

R314

I do.

R314 I've felt that way about Ralph Nader since 2000.

YAMICHE!!!

JESSICA DEAN!

I love Yamiche Alcindor.

Molly Jong-Fast said on 'Morning Joe' the other day that she's 47 - the same age as the actress Nicole Scherzinger from the new revival of 'Sunset Blvd.' I almost spit my cereal out - they're the same age ? I would guess Molly had a good ten years on her.

Molly just said on twitter she's 27 years sober. I think she's about 60.

She’s at least 65.

They are boarding up the Post Offices and McDonalds in D.C.

I'm wondering if the threat intel is predictive of an outcome.

If Dump were winning, they wouldn’t be boarding shit up. It’s his supporters who will riot and be violent.

Can you imagine having Erica Jong as your mother.

Kamala Harris will appear on SNL tonight. according to The Weekend evening addition.

I wonder if she'll go nose-to-nose with Maya?

Maybe Kamala will do a Maya Rudolf impression.

HS Symone morphed into Leslie Jones?

MSNBC needs to fire its overweight, unattractive anchors and hire good-looking people. It's TV, not radio.

Ayman needs to be replaced with Romo.

Why am I somehow feeling better about this race? It's got me concerned.

Because you have realized that every MSM and Trump outlet are hiding a Harris/Democrats landslide. None of the pollsters wants to be WRONG, so they hedge their bets on being NOT RIGHT. Now that we are seeing actual voting data, it seems that this election can be subtitled:

The Triumph of The 19th Amendment.

If Iowa is flipping, it isn't because of Trumpers, it's because of Iowas women and their Nikki Haley supporting FEMALE governor.

Funny, as Kimmie is still a Republicunt, but she knows that she's on a Trump grievance list.

Wow, Maddow on Velshi!

She must be staying in the city this week.

Are they all in the studio tonight or remoting it in?

[quote]Because you have realized that every MSM and Trump outlet are hiding a Harris/Democrats landslide.

Exactly what I've been telling my family and friends. I don't think the polls are close at all - I think Harris is comfortably ahead in the race, but the MSM is not sharing this. They need viewers to tune into 'breaking news' every minute of the day - and they get it by saying it's tied.

Maddow has completely taken over Velshi's second hour this morning.

[quote] I think Harris is comfortably ahead in the race, but the MSM is not sharing this.

You know that sounds as nuts as the people on the right who think Trump will win in a landslide. The MSM just isn't reporting the Trump landslide because they are all liberal, sound familiar? Don't be like them.

r338, thank you, Rashida!

I could do without Nancy Pelosi on air now or anytime this week. Same goes for Chuck Schumer. Correct me if I’m wrong but I have not seen evidence that either have done anything to advance the Harris/Walz ticket.

Rachel's live tonight from 7-9pm.

[quote] Per the reported terms, she’ll stick with the company through the 2024 election.

When Rachel signed her $30 million a year contract it was to stay on until after the 2024 election. Rachel's contract apparently expires at the end of the year. Will she stay on, will her staying on depend on the outcome of the election? Will we gain a Madam President but lose the Queen of MSNBC, sorry Joy you ain't the Queen, you neither Mika.

I feel like they’re groomingr Jen Psaki to take Rachel’s place.

I hope not R344. I would much rather see Nicolle Wallace take Rachel’s place, if necessary.

I have a feeling, a good feeling, that there will be a big shakedown of most of the MSNBC lineup after the election.

I'm manly hoping and expecting Jenn Psaki will be given a nightly hour.

If COMCAST is considering spinning off MSNBC (see R284) and their other cable channels I doubt we will see many wholesale changes just before hand, you don't immediately make a bunch of changes and then hope someone else sees the wisdom of your changes and is willing to buy an unproven lineup. You hope they see the value in an established lineup of hosts that has a faithful audience.

Get these 3rd Party Assholes off the TV.

'Pod Save America' has DL fav Steve Kornacki on their latest podcast. (Elder gay unable to download video)

I prefer Jon Favreau and his gap tooth.

The election is Rachel's Super Bowl.

I'm watching Rachel's Sunday night special which so far seems to be all about predicting Kamala's big win. Please God, let this happen.

VOTE!!!!

[quote]I feel like they’re groomingr Jen Psaki to take Rachel’s place.

I think MSNBC wants people who have “been in the White House” or “worked on campaigns”.

That’s Nicolle Wallace. That’s Jen Psaki. That’s Symone Sanders. That’s Michael Steele.

They’re done with academic blowhards like Rachel Maddow.

Nicolle Wallace on the Iowa Poll: She also said don't sleep on men and I have been saying this

Rachel Maddow: I have been saying that my whole life

[quote]They’re done with academic blowhards like Rachel Maddow.

That “academic blowhard” gets the highest ratings on the network.

So Rachel didn’t fuck guys in High School?

[quote]I could do without Nancy Pelosi on air now or anytime this week. Same goes for Chuck Schumer. Correct me if I’m wrong but I have not seen evidence that either have done anything to advance the Harris/Walz ticket.

I kicked Biden out on his ass, what more do you want?

I really like all the hosts on MSNBC covering this election tonight - a really informative evening. However, I must say - Michael Steele, by far, is the most intelligent and most informative. This guy knows his stuff inside and out. And he explains things very clearly and concisely. I hope they make a lot of use of him over the next two days and nights.

I love how feisty Ruben Gallego is.

I wish I was in bed with him right now. In pajamas!

What a night! Mandy Pantinkin AND Billy Eichner!

[quote]Correct me if I’m wrong but I have not seen evidence that either have done anything to advance the Harris/Walz ticket.

The Harris/Walz ticket would not exist if not for Pelosi. You’ve been corrected.

What has she done since they became the candidates to help them win, R361?

No one watches for Rachel anymore. We're tired of her hogging the spotlight.

Picking Walz was a bad idea.

R362 You think Pelosi would make a winning campaign surrogate for Harris out on the trail? No, she's been doing what she's always done best, working behind the scenes, and helping with the down-ballot races. What do you suggest she do?

Norris recently resigned her position as a columnist for the Washington Post in protest over Bezos’ decision not to endorse in the presidential race.

Did anyone catch that comment about them being handed showers in a bag? What, did the cheap ass Rishida hand them one of those wet wipe shower things so they never can leave? You would think they would have an executive shower or suite somewhere in that tower.

They can always go to the local Y for a shower.

Yes, I am sure I could spot Ari there with all his body hair.

Meanwhile on the Faux News Network they had a guy in the field at a Trump rally in a small wedding tent and some local restaurant. That dude was not just talking to the crowd he was actively cheer leading them, pumping his hands in the air like he was a star at a rock concert, at and got them shouting Trump, Trump, Trump. Of course he was black and he interviewed the only 2 other black people in the entire room out of maybe 100. Faux diversity.

The only thing that concerned me is he asked how many have voted by mail already and I would say it was close to 90%. So this early turnout of voters might be a lot more Trumpier than what we thought.

R370, there's been commentary about how the Republicans are now turning out for early voting in numbers closer to those of Democrats than in 2020—Trump has stopped discouraging early voting. Depending on the area, this might just mean that the Republicans are "cannibalizing" their vote, i.e. that then there are fewer Republicans left to vote on Election Day. I don't think it's likely that Democrats are turning out early in lower numbers. In PA the early vote returns have registered Democrats almost 400k ahead of Republicans, which means that—combined with the likely D vote among independents—the Democrats already have a cushion of roughly half a million or more. Fingers crossed!

Nancy Pelosi, more than anyone, understands that she can be divisive. So, staying out of the picture once Kamala and Tim (make no mistake, she was involved in that choice) were in place, was yet another wise decision on her part.

R364 is JD Vance.

What will JD do if they lose? Corporate BS job again? Niki will have egg on her face, Tucker will be caught with underage porn on his hard drive with spanking videos. Trump in jail maybe? Melania headed for a divorce? Don Jr OD on a coke? Gargoyles lips explode?

JD is a United States senator until at least January 2029.

CRAP, forgot about that. I want him to go away.

Prof. Jon Meacham is so handsome!

Can you imagine taking class with him?

^ and he has that sexy Southern drawl.

R372

Gavin Newsom has disappeared too.

Probably sad it wasn’t him.

Kristen Welker’s Quest for ‘Meet the Press’ to Survive, and Thrive, In this Moment:

R377 That's interesting. To me Meacham always reminds me of a Muppet. Beady/buggy eyes, rubbery nose, flappy mouth. Seems like a nice guy though.

I’m staying away from the news in general until election night at MSNBC. I’m sooo over the poll talk and predictions, even when they favor VP Harris.

Nicolle looks better without all of that hair hanging down.

Tim Miller looks "special" in his flannel shirt with the top button buttoned. Are we sure he is a gay man?

Aw, I love that look on Tim Miller! I wonder if he's being tested to get his own MSNBC hour.

Rosie Perez is wearing Nicolle's old wig!

Is Rosie sitting on a low stool??

"And I dealt with Sarah Palin."

I like Rosie.

Oh please! The unattractive Tim Miller screams bad hygiene and those tired pearls doesn’t help.

Where has Governor Josh Shapiro gone ? I have not seen him campaigning in PA since the Dem Convention. They need him - he's a great speaker.

Nicolle just showed a clip of Josh Shapiro assuring viewers of safety at the PA polls.

Are we in agreement that we might experience another 'red mirage,' where the election day votes get counted first and give Trump an initial lead, so its probably best for the anxious among us to avoid the media right after the polls close and check in later?

Middle America will probably vote for Trump. The northeast and west coast will not. Less people live in the middle.

[quote]Middle America will probably vote for Trump.

The Iowa poll suggests otherwise.

Meachan and Alberta are part of JoScars rehabilitation of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Can't wait till it is discovered that the SBC has been laundering money for decades for elected Confederates.

Joy's outfit reminds me of curtains.

Kamala to speak soon from Pittburgh.

What R395 said. And this sentiment is carrying over into the ruby red states.

Not saying, Kamala’s going to win these states, but these Midwestern fuckers are starting to wake up.

I don't know who does hair and makeup for the hosts but they never seem to look different. No aging? Give me some of that. Good work, gang.

Tim Miller heard your criticism and changed his shirt and opened the top button. But he without his pearls tonight.

Simone's softened makeup is very becoming; she looks pretty tonight. Now if she'd only .... ahh shit! She just brayed. Never mind.

Stepanie Ruhle does sleeveless a lot and it's November. Hot blooded, check and see it.

Simone's buzz cut is great on her. Molly, do something different with your hair! Even purple would be better.

R402, “brayed” is the perfect description for what Symone constantly does.

R394 Of course none of that matters thanks to the brilliance of the Electoral College, which permits minority rule, unless the majority also jumps through a series of regional spinning hoops.

I can't look at Morning Joe frequent guest Sam Stein without thinking - young Pauly Shore. Unfortunately, It even colors how I think of what he has to say.

Ask Tim’s husband, R384.

It’s Game Day!!!

R407, Sam Stein is so cute, especially when he smiles or laughs.

Here comes Doris!!!!

What R382 said!

Is Steve Kornacki sending us all a sign with his blue khakis and tie?

I miss Kasey Hunt at CNN The last two days. Did they pull her because of election night coverage? I like her loud braying voice in the morning. I also miss Alex Thompson. Is hers the only show he appears on?

MSNBC needs to swap CNN Hunt with Tur.

Rachel gets the last word in.

R354 here, thanks for the news flash R416 you said it better than me with graphics

[quote] Tim Miller heard your criticism and changed his shirt and opened the top button. But he without his pearls tonight.

I noticed the wardrobe change, there is a reason they had Tom Hanks wear shirts with the top button always buttoned in Forrest Gump, it screams "special".

I have always wondered if Tim Miller is a DataLounger.

R416, Rachel has never experienced a good fucking in her life.

[quote]r411 = Here comes Doris!!!!

When? Where?

[quote] I have always wondered if Tim Miller is a DataLounger.

I thought the same thing… there was something he said the other day that screamed like a DL Thread title.

Hi Tim! Thanks for losing the pearls today!

Oh Andrea, pls STFU!

Katy Tur is obsessed with only 7 machines!

R414 Alex shows up on Way Too Early from time to time. He's also on, sounding very much like a gurlfriend, with Tara Palmerii on her podcast Somebody's Gotta Win.

Is anyone going to watch the special live election coverage with Brian Williams on Amazon Prime?

That is crazy people having to wait two hours to vote in Philly, most the people in the line seem to be very young.

Actor Paul Rudd handing out water to voters waiting in line.

[quote] Is anyone going to watch the special live election coverage with Brian Williams on Amazon Prime?

Brian wanted to retire so as far as I am concerned he can stay retired, I would rather watch the whole MSNBC team than Mr Williams.

Young people often wait until last minute to do things they dont want to do so no surprise there. On the plus side, they are young, used to waiting in long lines for concerts, clubs, college events, movies, etc. It's not that big of a deal to them.

John Heilemann!!!

[quote] Actor Paul Rudd handing out water to voters waiting in line.

Not in Georgia?

John Heilemann did something that Nicolle never does and that is identify Mike Schmidt as Nicolle's husband.

Did she shush him?

R424 Alex is on with her today, after you get beyond her beef at being banned from Mara-Lardo.

Are we going to have an official MSNBC 'Election Night' thread in real time tonight ? Coverage starts at 7 pm.

[quote] John Heilemann did something that Nicolle never does and that is identify Mike Schmidt as Nicolle's husband.

It's rare, but it has happened.

“I think the new album is a... what do you call it? A collaboration... and a wonderful mix of a lot of people’s talents. And certainly Quincy Jones’s expertise and... I mean, I love that man. And at a time when I was pregnant and feeling very insecure perhaps, and very nonmusical, very unproductive, I mean just pregnant. When you have to be professional, and musical, and be creative, and you just want to ... all you want to create are baby clothes. You know, you want to paint the room, and you want to do this and you don’t really want to get into music. It can be very hard. And I find that... I found that Quincy was a disciplinarian in a time when he really needed to be for me. And I think that really helped me to get through the album. And thank God for that.”

- Donna Summer (Good Morning America Sept 8, 1982 promoting the release of the album "Donna Summer" )

^^^^^^ sorry - WRONG THREAD !

I started a separate thread for live coverage on MSNBC for election night...

Trading on Trump Media was stopped 3 times today due to the massive sell off on election day. Wonder if the stock for the makers of Adult Depends went up?

Wow! Those long Philly lines, still filled with college students interviewed by cute Jacob Soboroff make me smile and cry!

And remember the 2026 Midterms begin tomorrow.

r439, why?

Nicolle was on Heilemann’s podcast today.

Tim Miller is trying to look like Rachel. (Check out his hair!)

I didn't expect to see only Rachel doing the election, I thought there would be a team. I guess they'll be on once there's a winner.

After I saw the first 3 states called for Trump, I got such a pang, even though they are deep red, I decided I can't do this. I'm out until tomorrow.

Did Maria Teresa Kumar have trout lips reduction?

Virgina is already called for her. WTF are y’all dooming for? Did you expect her to win Florida, rural Georgia and Indiana?

Who has called Virginia for her?

Virginia is not called.

Michelle Goldberg:

[quote] I mean, the aftermath of the pandemic has voters angry and dissatisfied all over the world. Incumbents are getting tossed out all over the place. That’s one reason this was always going to be such a steep climb for Harris.

Sweet Jesus, I can't watch Konacki on MSNBC.

IT'S LIKE FUCKING A BOTTOM WHO WILL NOT SHUT UP.

Steve is doing a great job, he knows his stuff. I like all his micro detail of each county.

Ari Melber just did Janice Joplin lyrics that ain't rap.

This is scary.

Well there goes Joe an Mika in hiding. They are defiantly on Trump's target list.

I thought the country had enough. But no, we now have 4 more years of Mika and Joe playing clips of Trump doing/saying horrible things. Followed by a monologue where they have to call him out and put some sense into the chaos. Only now there is little hope. The country is full MAGA. The next election could be an anointing of Jr and Jr could win NY and NJ. Tbh, in their shoes I’d quit. Same for the Never Trump movement. Lincoln project, Bulwark. 9 years of work, all for nothing. How do you get up tomorrow, sit in front of a webcam and find the will to go on.

Joe is going to be BONKERS this morning.

These charlatans are now irrelevant.

Holy Fucking Shit.

What is wrong with the USA???

Tim Miller’s side eye for the win.

Ugh Katy Tur.

For some (no doubt masochistic) reason I have an endless loop playing in my mind of the aftermath of Biden announcing he wasn't going to run and Joy Reid reacting with tremendous indignation to the idea that ANYONE other than Kamala should get the nomination. Joy also reacted angrily to anyone calling it an "anointment," although of course that's exactly what it was.

Trumper Katy Tur must be happier than a pig in shit this morning.

I can’t turn on the news. My house is in complete silence

How long before Trump makes a fool out of Dasha Burns and calls her "fake news"?

[quote] an "anointment," although of course that's exactly what it was.

Good luck having a primary 100 days out and starting from 0 with a new team and 90 days to go. The cunt would have flipped the whole map because nothing we could offer was going to be accepted by the Latino men and Gen Z men who tipped the scales this time.

Good point, R458. I guess the blame belongs to Biden, who was clearly declining mentally but that knowledge was kept from the public. And didn't Biden originally pledge to be a one-term President?

He never affirmatively made that pledge, R469.

[quote]I can’t turn on the news. My house is in complete silence

I blocked out all media outlets around 6PM and went along with my nightly routine and didn't check the results before going to bed. I just found out about the outcome and I'm disgusted. I'll never look at the country the same way again. I'll try to make the most out of the time while Biden is still in office.

Nicolle will calm us down and Rachel at 7pm will scare the shit out of us.

Rachel is not gonna work a third day this week.

I didn’t stay up late last night. Knew it was over by 10:30

How did the panel react when it was obvious rump won?

Jen Psaki almost cried at 5am this morning making the announcement.

In the industry, MSNBC is known as DEM -SNBC.

And Fox is known as Faux News…and the conduit for Kremlin propaganda in this country.

Katy Turd and Symone yelling at each other.

Delish! Lololol

I’m severely limiting my news intake to The Reid Out with Joy Reid because she’s the only one I trust to have fair and balanced post-election analysis, including this question of a possible missing 20 million votes.

Eugene Robinson holding their earrings as Katy Tur and Symone Sanders sound off over allegation of Black men supporting donald.

Beat her Trump loving ass Symone!

Katy also suggested earlier that Biden should pardon Trump for all crimes.

How many times will Nicolle have an uncontrollable laughter outburst today?

Joy is right.

[quote]Katy also suggested earlier that Biden should pardon Trump for all crimes.

On what legal grounds exactly?

Maybe Katy would feel differently if she didn't have to protection of the police from the MAGA mob the first time she was in the crowd and Trump turned on her verbally.

The Three Stoogettes (Andrea, Chris and Katie) had poor Cornell Belcher wriggling in the hot seat yesterday as they "Miss Annsplained" racism to him, but Symone was not having it today!

Nicolle Wallace had best keep herself in check following Vice President Harris's speech at Howard University; Joy Reid, John Heilemann and Claire McCaskill comprise her panel. Laugh, bitch!

It's going to be a long day of programming

Will Lawrence be doing his show tonight?

[quote] I’m severely limiting my news intake to The Reid Out with Joy Reid because she’s the only one I trust to have fair and balanced post-election analysis

Not to mention the rampant homophobia.

R489, Oh God, will you dumb, more than likely white, bitches let that go. I’ve never heard Joy say one homophobic thing on her program AND she apologized more than once for things she had said IN THE PAST.

She did not apologize. She denied that she ever said homophobic things.

R491 Exactly. She’s like OJ searching for the real killers.

Gay men kissing is icky! 🤮

Didnt she say she was hacked at first.

I was hacked! My 15-year-old blog that nobody read was attacked to frame me!

Ask my fag friend Jonathan Capehart. I was framed!

Joy's "rampant homophobia" just another birtherism lie that is repeated and repeated every time she is brought up just to slam her.

There is no dumbass like a Log Cabinet dumbass.

Ari just asked a great question - Who will now emerge as the leader of the Democratic party in the coming year?

The coalition of American oligarchy and extreme right-wing have won. But unlike in Russia, our "leader" is such a manipulable dunce they are the true winners. The damage will not be undone for ages.

[quote]I’m severely limiting my news intake to The Reid Out with Joy Reid because she’s the only one I trust to have fair and balanced post-election analysis, including this question of a possible missing 20 million votes.

What's this about, R480? I'm seeing people on Twitter talking about missing 20 million votes too.

"Who will now emerge as the leader of the Democratic party in the coming year?"

Why not Kamala Harris? Because she's a woman? Black? Indian? married to a Jew? Many of the reasons y'all think she didn't win?

Even if those were the reasons, THEY ARE FUCKING WRONG!!!!

I stand by my vote, and so should most of you! Or y'all don't fucking belong here!

I bet those fags stole those votes!

[quote] Why not Kamala Harris?

Were Mike Dukakis and Al Gore unavailable?

[quote] Ari just asked a great question

Said no one. Ever.

MSNBC was rendered irrelevant today.

Time of death:

Did you know fags stick their tongues up each others anus?

Nasty!

I like how Joy apologizes for her homophobic comments then denies she ever made any homophobic comments. Such consistency!

You’re a profile in courage, Joy!

Those butt-munchin’ fags know I would never say anything homophobic.

Do you smell AIDS?

Claire McCaskill cried for all of us today.

Trump wins, and this thread devolves into a homo-suctional bitchfest.

I love Steph Ruhle. I want to have cocktails with her.

r507, what 2018 bullshit. Obama was not pro marriage equality until Biden brought him along. Blacks are very skittish about gayness because their Black Church minds always goes directly to dirty anal sex. Like, all of us immediately think of straight people and their disgusting, and boring sex.

Leave Joy alone. Any member of the anti-Gay Black church who changes their mind, LET THEM.

Asking from Downunder...how many registered voters did not vote? Watched Jimmy Kimmel on utube tonight and was surprised how many dumbass people in California didn't vote and didn't know what day it was. (I assume they don't think it matters being in Cali).

R513 A lot. I haven’t seen the % the out yet but Dems got 15 million less votes than 2020. I’d like to see more stats on that - did people in blue states think she had this in the bag and stay home? My friend in Europe was 100% certain that she was going to win because he could not believe that anyone would vote for him after the debate and Springfield and the threats and MSG. He says he won’t visit next summer because he’s so disgusted.

R513 Thank you.

*R514

Kamala Harris will be as relevant going forward as was Dan Quayle post-1992.

[quote]Why not Kamala Harris? Because she's a woman? Black? Indian? married to a Jew? Many of the reasons y'all think she didn't win?

Because after January, she’s unemployed in government and no longer relevant in Democratic politics.

Looks like MSNBC is censoring themselves this morning. Not surprising Hitler 2 has happened . I think Mika and Joe divorce is sooner than later.

R513, it’s not that surprising that a Californian - or any other resident of a so-called non-battleground state - would not vote in the presidential contest. Under the US’s Electoral College system, their vote is not consequential.

Joe trying to make a point how Democrats are out of touch by quoting his friend about the price of butter being 4 dollars and group bust his chops because it's around 7. Then he tried to paper over the obvious fact he's out of touch and Mika tells him it's 9 dollars at Whole Foods. Out of touch indeed Sir. Oh yes, it's only the Democrats that are out of touch.🙄

[quote]Kamala Harris will be as relevant going forward as was Dan Quayle post-1992.

Mr. Potatoe Head wasn't relevant pre-1992.

People are exaggerating the cost of everything. Gas is at $4 and butter is only $5.

And Democracy is only 100 Million.- Elon

[quote]I haven’t seen the % the out yet but Dems got 15 million less votes than 2020. I’d like to see more stats on that - did people in blue states think she had this in the bag and stay home?

Many people (independents, moderate Republicans) don’t like either candidate and didn’t cast a vote for President.

There was a tweet a few weeks ago that went viral. Showed a small basket of groceries and claimed they cost $175 with no evidence. Guess who posted it? A woman who spent 2 months in prison for her role on Jan 6.

The disinformation is staggering.

We have to counter that somehow but it will be difficult because people prefer lies and conspiracy because truth hurts.

Gas on the Jersey shore has been around $2.79 or even lower for a while now. We have quite a range for food staples from Wegman's ($$$) to Shop Rite ($$) to Aldi and Trader Joe's ($).

Y'all need to move down to the Jersey shore.

Will Gavin Newsom be relevant after his Governor term ends in 2026 to run in 2028? Feel like a California progressive politician is not what USA wants.

He is handsome though.

I like what he stands for and when he speaks he makes sense as to why California has such a robust economy.

The reality right now is Newsom or some other young WHITE successful Democratic politician is our best hope for 2028, assuming we have an election.

[quote] I'm seeing people on Twitter talking about missing 20 million votes too.

What’s the latest on this?

I will take Pritzker on Wegovy for a thousand, Alex...

Newscom cannot run if the it's going to be close. If Trump screws everything up so much that the country is begging for change - okay. But if it's a close race Newson will have to answer only for CA's problems and will get no credit for its many successes. A moderate Republican would hammer him on homelessness, costs, addiction, sanctuary cities, transgender rights, taxes blah blah San Francisco has been used as rage bait on Fox News and Joe Rogan for so long that a lot of the leg work has been done to convince middle America that all of CA is a horror.

[quote]I like what he stands for and when he speaks he makes sense as to why California has such a robust economy.

There is an extreme anti-California sentiment in the country, especially in the western states that have significant numbers of ex-Californians and among red states that act as though it is a failed state due to "Democrat rule." It doesn't matter how well California does economically, they are accused of trying to turn every state they move to into 'liberal' bastions, even when the people are politically conservative. It is irrational, but its out there. If we have another competitive election, that would be a challenge for Newsom.

Plus, a strong economy wasn't enough to win in 2024. The economists who said Trump's 'plan' would likely trigger a recession didn't matter. Americans voted for more tariffs that will cause higher inflation, endorsed a deportation scheme that will negatively impact the economy and destroying the "enemy from within" (aka anyone opposed to the cult of Trump) and they got it. That's our lives for the next four years (or longer).

I have to quote this because I don't think this has sunk in yet. I think most of us want to find a reason. We're hoping we'll find something that we can easily fix. Or one interview that may have changed everything. This time Trump told them ^^^^^^ over and over and over the people said 'yes, please.' There is no longer any truth. Half of the country now operates from alternative facts.

I'll always say the worst thing to ever happen to this country was the birth of Fox News. It's nothing but a 24/7 right-wing brainwashing tool that has successfully radicalized half of the population of this country, hence the result on Tuesday night.

R533 has never been to California, and couldn’t afford to live here. Stay in Alabammy, retarded redneck. We’re not interested.

What r536 said!

The biggest problem our country has is Faux News. No doubt about it.

Ugh! Don't encourage Many HaHa, Ari; let her hand-over the hour and then be on her hilarious, laughter-fueled way.

Poor Mike Schmidt.

Still feels like that Twilight Zone episode, waking up to realize all the people around you are quasi-humans with pig-snout faces, and Trump as the leading pig-snout.

With a bit of Poltergeist thrown in.

Anyone else think MSNBC's evening lineup ratings will go way down for a while? We all feel so betrayed!

Of course, after the Inauguration, they'll be right back up.

The idea that Harris will likely certify on Jan 6th, and then attend with Biden the inauguration, while Trump and all of MAGA gloat, just turns my stomach. Why is it always one side that's expected to stand up for decency and norms?

You know what runs my stomach?

Gay people putting things up their butt!

Nasty!

I totally agree with you, r542. I can't imagine what it took for Kamala to make a phone call to Dump to concede and congratulate him. Actually, it may be the only thing she did in this campaign of which I disapprove.

And they still came for her because she didn't concede that night. We literally cannot do anything right in their eyes so I am all for giving tradition the middle finger and sitting out the inauguration.

[quote] Of course, after the Inauguration, they'll be right back up.

I don't think so. The Inauguration will be poorly attended. He'll lie and say it was the biggest ever. Dems will not watch. MSNBC ratings will be on the floor that day.

And they will remain low until closer to the mid terms. I don't think many viewers have the stomach for whats to come. We've seen the show. We know what we voted against. We don't want to see his face or hear his voice.

STFU joy Reid. Segments like yours corrupt the minds of the electorate .

Enough already. Nobody gives a shit

Why was Tim Miller wearing a fake-ass toupee on 'All In With Chris Hayes' tonight ? It was so damn fake looking - did he think no one noticed ?

[quote] We don't want to see his face or hear his voice.

Did a quick search online for Trump blockers, only found a couple Chrome extensions from back in 2016. This seems like a ripe area for app development, something that will block all content involving the Execrable One.

R548 He must have borrowed it from Ari just to fulfill your delusion.

[quote]Segments like yours corrupt the minds of the electorate .

Wait a minute, that's our job and Tuesday was your proof.

You fags are so racist! Plus the butt stuff.

Nasty!

Bring back Keith Obermann. He had balls.

They need an angry firebrand. Enough with the pussy stuff.

Tim Miller doesn’t wear a hairpiece.

They need strong Dem firebrands. No more never Trump republicans. The “liberal” media, took in so many of the people fired by Trump or insulted by Trump. Gave them all jobs and then told us that they represented a loud minority that we could win over with Liz Cheney. Ha! We got the usual 5% of Republicans and now we’re stuck with lame ass people who still call themselves Republicans. We are too nice.

And it’s not a preference, it’s a real need, it’s an emergency. The top 20 podcasts - 17 are MAGA. The top 10 political donors this year - 8 are Republicans donors.

The lie is exposed. We are not the elite. We are just working schlubs with college degrees. We do not control the media. We do not dominate the airwaves. We are not controlled by billionaire donors like the other side. Time to act like this and stop acting like a guilt majority.

Ari Melber should be bringing in Dem governors to give them national exposure. Not MAGA types who will sit there and sanewash and deny election results.

Is Ari single? I’ve narrowed it down to him and the guy who refills the hot dog spinner at the 7-1.1.

Joe S. is now going to attack Democrats for 4 years now?

Morning Joe going on the same TIRED rant about how Democrats are out of touch. Hey Joe, you are also just as out of touch if you think your talking point that you have been using for the last 20 years is still relevant. It's not. America has change. The Trump voter, 50% of America is now perfectly OK with a convicted felon, rapist, fraudster, misogynist, liar as the best man for the job.

MORALS DO NOT MATTER. CHARACTER DOES NOT MATTER. BEING EDUCATED DOES NOT MATTER. Is that what you want the Democratic party to become so they can relate to the part of America you say they are out of touch with? That's who America is. The only way to get to them is to become them. And guess who did that? TRUMP.

Or you can just put up a mirror. Tell your Christian mother that it may just be you, but you can’t vote for a pussy grabber. Tell your libertarian coworker that you and your partner are shopping around for where to get married because you have to. Tell your sister that you can’t travel to her state for Thanksgiving because of its gun laws.

And then be silent. Repeat what you said but don’t argue or attack them. They love it when we get self righteous and impassioned. I’m not giving it to them.

The only way Joe Scarborough's advice would work for Dems to get more in touch with the middle of America is to talk to them in their own language, racist, homophobic, misogynist, selfish, bullies. They do not care about logic, facts or statistics. Stop pretending Dem's just need to focus on table kitchen issues. That's not enough for them.

It’s ALWAYS about the economy. If people feel like they have extra money in the bank and can afford what they want…the incumbent party gets re-elected. If not, time for a change.

[quote] Morning Joe going on the same TIRED rant about how Democrats are out of touch.

Interesting how Joe just a few days ago thought the Democrats would win. Ergo, it seems that Joe is also the one who’s out of touch.

Exatly, just a few days ago it was Joe who was screaming about all the things Trump was saying at the convention and everywhere else. Now all of a sudden Dems should and "elites" need to stop focusing on media events?

[bold]The problem with Joe is he really does not think as a college educated lawyer and former congressman with a million dollar media show that somehow he's not part of the elite.

He's so full of crap too. Joe's rant last night about how only 31% of Americans identify as Democrats as the reason why they lost the election, because they are out of touch with Americans? Well he conveniently left out one big fact. Even LESS, 21% of Americans are registered Republicans. So his whole premise is false.

Yes, most people are choosing to be non-party affiliated, but if he was intellectually honest, it makes no sense that with only 21% Republicans, they should be doing even worse relating to the rest of the country.

Or in the vein of DailyKos, Nigger, rich people be taking your money.

And once again Joe Scarborough totally wrong. His own guest Katty Kay pointed out that out of 10 other countries in the world that had an election, ALL voted out the incumbent politicians. Not because Democrats were out of touch, all they wanted was to kick anyone out in power and blame them for the price of eggs.

And, in the end, the price of eggs was just an excuse to vote racist and misogynist.

True, I guess that is the subtext of the price issue. At least for MAGA.

Have they gone back and interviewed that Iowa pollster who guaranteed a Kamala win?

That woman said it could go either way and said she was wrong once before so she was OK with however it would turn out. All she was saying is what her data was showing without weighting it like most pollsters do.

Joe S. is going BONKERS!

Crazy Joe needs to search his own Baptist soul for the racism and misogny of his racist and women hating church.

[bold]In public:[/bold] "Oh, no, no R574! Don't you know the Southun Babdist Church has turned over a new leaf? They no longer hate N****uhs, K*kes, sp*cs, or f***ots; that was a long long time ago and Glory be, we have SEEN THE LIGHT!"

[bold]In private/voting booth:[/bold]"MAGA!"

I have a sneaking feeling the the the entire Southern Baptist Convention is a vast money laundering bank that provides funds to Evangelical electeds.

Very much like the COLDS of Utah.

Just money laundering banks hiding behind the shredded curtain of the separation of church and state.

I just can't with Prof. Eddie Glaude lecturing us. Not after voting for Jill Stein in '16.

Did the fags vote? Or were they too busy having gross anus sex?

Nasty!

R563 Time for a change, even though the WSJ estimates Trump's economic plans will cost the average family $4k more a year, and he will bankrupt Social Security years earlier than projected. It's not the economy, stupid. it's the lazy ill-informed stupid American electorate, stupid.

R579 You've likely seen it but there has been a massive spike in people search 'project 25' and 'tariff' over the past 2 days. People paid no attention, voted for him, then heard about policies after he won. Madness.

Joe and Mika better have their passports handy and get ready to move to Switzerland.

She’s post-menopausal and a mouthy broad so she has no value in the new world order.

Don’t be surprised if DeSantis suddenly reopens the case of the dead woman in Joe’s congressional office. The one Trump claimed he killed.

There’s no statute of limitations on murder.

Those two will be lucky to be cleaning the toilets in Palm Beach. Mika’s best chance at survival is being sold to some half-blind Middle Eastern oil sheik..

Whether he actually does anything or not, there will be lots of slimy people around him who go on Fox and say that they are coming for Joe and Mika and Jimmy Kimmel and Michelle Obama blah blah Just saying it in the most vulgar terms is almost as effective as doing it. It will dominate the news cycle over and over. Lawrence O'Donnell is the only person I trust to tell it as it is right now.

[quote] Lawrence O'Donnell is the only person I trust to tell it as it is right now.

May he rest in pieces. 🪦

Haven't watched the news, including MSNBC, since the polls closed. I'm debating how I can get through the next 4 years, remain informed, but shield myself from the daily Trump shit. It does seem that at the moment people are busy pointing fingers and trying to place blame. AFAIAC, it's all on the American voters, the majority are an embarrassment to their country.

It does not matter if you turn off MSNBC. Trump will be EVERYWHERE you go. MAGA now has a mandate to be rude, crude, in your face and they will be for the next 4 years or more. Have you forgotten the daily Trump Tweets that grabbed even local news? As president everywhere on the internet will now be posting that again.

Might be a buy signal for Netflix.

He's going to change all music on all government phone lines from elevator to Trump's greatest quotes that made America Great Again. You will not be able to escape him.

R585, I've tried to slowly ease back into MSNBC. Maybe five to ten minutes of Lawrence or Joy, but when the talk gets too Trumpy, I switch to a non-news channel. Someone said in another thread that they expected MSNBC's ratings to drop until Trump is back in office, then they will rise after he inevitably starts to fuck up. I can agree with that.

R586, Its already starting with him and his Truth Social posts. I remember when he got banned from Twitter after January 6th and the relief of not having the news tracking his every bitchy remark and here we are today, prepping for round #2. It won't be long before voters' remorse sets in, but the election results showed us that America needs a swift kick in the ass for ever wanting to flirt around with a wannabe dictator.

R588 Thank you. That's hilarious!!

I am surprised that the shares of DJT - the Truth Social, Trump Media Group stock - did not spike much following his win. I know it's inherently worthless, but as a meme stock it had been tracking his movement in the polls, and as the primary shareholder it's still worth billions on paper to him, even though it's back down to where it was before election day.

Once Trump is in office, Andrew Weissmann and Neal Katyal will have full time jobs on MSNBC.

While MSNBC still exists.

R592, I think Neal will still present cases before SCOTUS. He's very good at it and it pays more than MSNBC.

The smarter you are, the tastier it is for the corrupt justices to ignore you.

Where's the Datalounger who gets a thrill out of starting the next MSNBC Part # thread? I wouldn't want to deprive him by doing it myself.

Your services are requested, dear sir.

I do not get a thrill, but I have been the OP/caretaker for many MSNBC threads.

I have been FF'd and was on sit out.

But thanks for the kick, the Part 64 is here.

And here

we

Go!

Off to Hell.
