MSNBC—Part 67

Part 66 is up to 550.

See you back here in 50 posts.

Part 66 should be closing shortly.

Michael said “You’re watching the Weekend.”

Tsk.

Rachel is in 30 Rock with a new haircut.,

Lawrence is explaining foreign trade to Trump.

Lawrence just verbally slugged Trump for thirty minutes.

MSNBC’s New Daytime Lineup Is A Prelude To Network’s Post-Comcast News Division Plans:

Stop trying to make "Donny Two Dolls" happen, Lawrence.

Rachel’s greys are more prominent with this new ‘do.

Where did Chris Hayes go?

Did they even mention that Chris was not on tonight?

Odd if not.

He's no longer on Mondays, and hasn't been in a year!

My understanding is that he hasn't been in on Mondays for many months, ever since Jen added her Monday edition of Inside, which now goes away, replaced by the Weeknight.

Jem Psaki took over Mondays at 8 pm from Hayes nearly a year ago. Now that she's taking over the 9 PM slot from Alex Wagner (thank heavens!) her Monday at 8 slot is open, so they gave the extra hour to 'The Weeknight' (and not Wagner).

Pete Buttigieg will be on Jen Psaki’s show tonight.

First of the tariff's ripple effects that I've seen so far - only one overly ripe avocado remaining in the supermarket this evening.

I heard Katy Tur proclaim yesterday, “I’m not a Democrat, I’m an Independent…”

🙄🙄🙄

Ncole told her panel today "You all made me smarter. Thank You". They all (should have) responded : "Easiest thing we've done all week."

And then she boosts the panel's ego even further by adding; "I don't say that every day".

Which ALSO somewhat infers is that she's pretty smart herself. Interesting choice of phrasing while also stroking her own ego.

But in all seriousness, I find her one of the more in depth, educated, pointed, and interesting anchors, unlike Ms. "but what about the Democrats", Tur and that skanky party girl, Stephanie Ruhle. Uggggh

Another Nicolle fan. Katy Tur’s bothsiderism is beyond irritating. She is slowly becoming her “dad.”

Nicole, Rachel, The WeekNight and Lawrence. That's all, folks.

Lawrence is going to drive this president to drink.

Hit the gas, Lawrence! Floor it!

Symone and Rep. Victoria Spartz ... how many screens did their combined voices shatter this evening?

How come most of the highlighted Met Gala fashions were worn by the Blacks? Somebody didn't get the message that DEI is over.

Are the Met and AW Government Contractors, r24?

What's going on with Jen Psaki's hair this week? On the first 2 nights of the Briefing, and when she was on with Rachel Monday, it's looked kind of squared off and flattened on top. Doesn't frame her face as usual, not flattering.

As I think R24 knows, the theme was black style, and specifically the history of dandyism among "the Blacks".

And not one set of elegant, glittering chains and shackles.

Arrivederci, Claudio.

Scott Galloway for president!

Tim Miller just echoed my sentiment.

Can Miguel Diaz, former US Ambassador to the Holy See, please fuck me up my ass ? He's one hot daddy. Chris Hayes should have him on more often.

R30 I'd prefer Kara - the limp dick jokes were funny for maybe the first 7 or 8 times, until you realize he doesn't really have a second act.

Love that Lawrence hates trump as much as I do.

Jen Psaki on night 3 of white suits & flat hair.

R26 R35 New show, new stylist?

Lawrence is going to have a ball tonight! 🔥🔥

Wow, Lawrence! The thought crossed my mind earlier while admiring his lovely complexion! Life imitating art in conclave surprises!

I am delighted. All is right in the World.

I love watching Lawrence's hour long tirade calling Trump stupid, pointing out the stupid in detail and calling him stupid again.

Lawrence is pissed Trump is killing children and babies in Africa.

I have watched multiple clips of Chris Jansing announcing in an orgasmic eructation WE HAVE A POPE!

They must have had the stagehands peel her off her chair. Ultimately, it was cringe.

They scraped her discharge off her ass and Chris is on MJ Friday.

Really enjoying NJ rep Bonnie Watson Coleman! What an elegant, intelligent woman speaking against the President and MAGA. We need more like her.

Which program was she appearing on?

Agreed

Weeknight

This is the reason that we need Rachel on Mondays and Fridays.

Does Eugene Daniels wear a wig ? That fro of his has the exact same five curls falling on his forehead ever time he's on TV. And his from has that shiny look to it - as though it's made of nylon, with the lighting hitting it.

R47, It’s the most ridiculous shit on TV now.

Alicia’s brother, Rob, is hot.

ICE strikes again, this time Newark. Mayor arrested, don't know why.

ICE are the modern Nazis.

Ras Baraka (who's also running for governor) has been pretty vocal about that detention center in Newark for a while now.

I don't understand what the point was in arresting him.

I agree R49. Smoking hot. Move aside Ms primpy and preppy boy, Danny Cevallos.

I like Jen Psaki but she always seems very uncomfortable on-camera and frankly I don’t know what they think she brings to this hour that Alex Wagner didn’t. If she’s more popular with viewers than Wagner, then okay, fine, but otherwise they could have just given the time back to Wagner and let Psaki stay on Sundays.

Jen Psaki’s Botox!

Jen's fielding questions from today's WH press briefing is brilliant.

Psaki always comes across to viewers as "Remember, I'm faster, better and smarter than you".

[quote]Psaki always comes across to viewers as "Remember, I'm faster, better and smarter than you".

Which she obviously is.

R54 Psaki always appears quite calm and confident to me. But I'm also a Wagner fan. I say team them up.

They are two categories of host. Jen is a prior administration executive branch employee, like Simone in a Campaign way, and Alex is a journalist more like Hayes.

A Chris/Alex show makes more sense. This would have been brilliant.

R58 If it was obvious, she wouldn't have to try so hard to prove it.

What happened to the new female host who was there last week for 'The Weekend' ? Did she have enough of the Two Black Queens and quit already ?

Anyhow, I was flipping between MSNBC's newly remodeled 'The Weekend' and 'FOX and Friends' this morning. Despite it's flaws with the new trio, 'The Weekend' is far and away the best programming on weekend mornings, still.

R62 she said she decided to go on family leave to spend time with her newborn and would be back in a few months.

R63 WOW - she didn't decide to be with her newborn before she accepted the job ?

Daniels and Capehart on the same weekend show? Oh No - that’s who Rebecca Kutler is replacing fired anchors with? What a joke.

r61, she appears to do it effortlessly.

She was a phenomenal Press Secretary.

She ended the 1st Week of The Briefing with her assuming her old position as Press Secretary and giving honest answers to the fake questions asked by the Propaganda Press.

It was seriously brilliant. If she had played it for laughs, it would have killed on Comedy Central.

She really does it effortlessly.

It’s important to hear from people who have real-world political experience like Jen Psaki and Nicolle Wallace and even Symone, as opposed to just people like Rachel who have spent her life in academia before her media career.

That is the journalism parallax. Both are respected positions. Both are needed.

It sets up liberal media in opposition to the "Fair and Balanced" propaganda of Fox Nooze.

There is only one Rachel . She can tell stories and make history relevant. I wish Alex Witt would go to QVC.

Alex Witt is the only reason I tune in on weekends. Miss Capehat?…no.

R69, you sure you didn't mean Alex WAGNER?

[quote]She really does it effortlessly.

We must be watching different shows. I'm not seeing 'effortlessly' at all.

[quote]Oh No - that’s who Rebecca Kutler is replacing fired anchors with? What a joke.

Huh? Who was fired from the previous 'The Weekend' team ? Those three got promoted to primetime with 'The Weeknight' (M-F). No one got fired from the show.

We all have our favorites of course but I really can't stand Symone and Lawrence. I thought Kathie Phang and Alex Wagner were doing a great job and was surprised when they lost their shows. Psaki I find too bland, Chris is a yeller and I find annoying. I like Michael and Alicia but am baffled that Jonathan Capehart was kept on the air. I use to like Katy Tur but less and less. Another one that drives me nut is that Pablo Torres on Morning Joe. If he's on I will switch channels. Dial it down please...Anyone knows what happened to Danny Deutsch ? But my queen is Nicole. I just love her !

R74, how do you feel about Stephanie?

[quote] Chris is a yeller and I find annoying... Dial it down please... But my queen is Nicole. I just love her !

And then there's the DL'ers who swear they consistently have trouble hearing Nicolle - just her, everyone else on show is perfectly modulated.

I'm not here to judge, but when these peculiar audio or auditory problems arise, it might be wise to consider them as possible issues with the receiver.

[quote]We all have our favorites of course but I really can't stand Symone and Lawrence.

r74, those are the two vocal Trump haters right behind Joy Reid. But, both Joy and Lawrence fall in the government gravitas insiders group.

Not going until fired by the new owners of MSNBC, or whatever they will be called.

And Joe was at it again, recruiting Incels for the Evangelical church because nobody will fuck them.

Poor babies, poor uneducated babies who lost out on white privilege, and education and learning that real women need a partner not a "Husband to Submit to". While women, who will not fuck them, went to college and got great jobs.

Ultimately, Evangelical recruitment of Incels is just an extension of Rape Culture for Incels not smart enough to learn Frat Boy Rape Culture in college.

Their salvation is not having a personal relationship with the mythic Jesus, but to actually learn how to eat pussy. Eat pussy like a lesbian. That is what independent women need, today.

Julie Sirkin is a snake in the grass. A both sider in the mold of Kateless Tur. She’s done this type of thing before: sanewashing Twitler and the GQP. She reports GQP talking points as fact, without fact CHECKING them. She did it this am again on Jansing using GQP propaganda on “Medicaid Reform,” instead of the 880 billion in cuts that the psychopaths plan for the medically indigent. Btw, the 880 billion in cuts comes from AP reporting! WTF

Poor John Tester.

[quote]Their salvation is not having a personal relationship with the mythic Jesus, but to actually learn how to eat pussy. Eat pussy like a lesbian. That is what independent women need, today.

OH MY!

Jon Tester, R80. MSNBC's newest consultant.

r81, imagine if Phyllis Schlafley had a secular husband who ate pussy?

Michael Steele was talking and they cut away to Symone who was cleaning her teeth.

The Tech Booth doesn't seem to like her...

Someone should tell her that all-white outfits aren’t flattering to obese people.

Why the hell does anyone need to clean their teeth in the middle of a broadcast? Was she eating during the breaks? Wouldn’t surprise me.

Why does Tur have to relitigate the Democratic loss in 2024?

Whattacunt

It’s really hard to take Matt Dowd seriously anymore after he was so (publicly, at least) confident - & so wrong - about Harris winning. And no Matt, no one who voted for Trump -certainly not the “poorly educated” he so claims to love - cared a whit about Trump infringing on anyone’s constitutional rights.

Past two days just happen to see David Ignatius telling the truth about criminal president as that fucking clown Joe Scarborough defends the orange turd.

Author Omar El Akkad wears a pink sweater very well. Makes him more sexy and masculine. I'd love to bend over for him.

Jenn is wearing pumpkin garb tonight.

I love watching Lawrence's call Trump an idiot and then go on to prove it in detail.

Lawrence, singlehandedly, keeps me grounded and sane.

Stop it, Lawrence; you're killing it!! Have mercy on President Scrooge.

Tonight's beat-down is Pulitzer-worthy. Classic O'Donnell.

There is no mercy for President Lime

Lawrence is brilliant AND savage.

Thank you, —donalds-worst-nightmare

Last night audio...

I like to put on an audio rebroadcast and listen to it in the background as I surf.

R89, R96 As both of you might recall, Lawrence was just as certain of a Kamala Harris victory.

So was I.

Yet both refuse to acknowledge even the possibility that Elon got his hands into our voting system and disappeared 10 million votes across every single swing state.

THANK YOU R98!!!

We don’t have a “voting system.” Voting is decentralized and locally-controlled. No voting system is connected to the internet. How exactly do you suppose Elon “disappeared” ten million votes across multiple states?

The results were consistent with polling.

You’re just the left’s version of the 2020 lie.

If you went to any suburban areas in Pennsylvania, you would have seen there were 10 Trump yard signs for every 1 Harris sign.

R100 Thank you for your contribution. Fuck you for your closed-minded attitude. One of MANY links below, just for you!

As for the 2020 lie, it WAS a lie. So that when THEY then do what they've accused US of doing, we can't come forward because it's true??

R101 I recommend you stay out of suburban Pennsylvania.

R98 Thank YOU !!!

Hey, R100, you can also check out the video below. Give it 5 minutes and report back, that is, if you can pull yourself away from jacking off to John Fetterman videos!

That’s quite odd, r101, considering how they actually voted.

Bucks County: Bucks County, a key swing area, went to Trump by a narrow margin of a few hundred votes.

Montgomery County: Montgomery County, the most populous Philadelphia suburban county, favored Kamala Harris, though by a slightly smaller margin than Biden in 2020.

Chester County: Chester County also favored Harris.

Delaware County: Delaware County voted for Harris, but Trump narrowed the margin compared to 2020.

Why wasn't I surprised by Trump's win? Why I don't think it was "stolen"? Because, as R100 notes, the polling. Trump's polls in '16 & '20 consistently undercounted his vote total. I think it's forgotten by many how bad his polls were in the run up to the '20 election. I was supremely confident of a Biden blowout because of the polls in the Blue Wall states. The actual state results were much closer than any of us anticipated. We were assured that this problem had been corrected for the '24 election. I had my doubts. And when the polls in the summer & fall showed Trump doing better than polls in the prior two election cycles, I was most apprehensive.

R105 Anus Mouth's numbers were the same as 2020. The Dems just didn't show up.

Many people just didn’t vote, or skipped the Presidential box on their ballot, because neither candidate was appealing.

Talking about his poll numbers, R106. His pre-'24 election poll numbers, particularly in Michigan & Pennsylvania, were much better than they were in either '16 or '20.

[quote] Elon got his hands into our voting system and disappeared 10 million votes across every single swing state.

Why did he stop, then, last year?! As heavily invested as he was in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, why didn't he flip that race, too?

Two bald Black women at once.

As of last night, Lawrence was still claiming that Trump will not get his Palace in the Sky plane, but who's going to stop him? Does public shaming work with Trump? You'd think he'd be embarrassed to accept something 13 years old, that the Qataris have been trying to sell since 2020.

13 years old and a few BILLION in renovations. BILLIONS.

Lawrence is correctly calling IT AIN'T HAPPENING.

WTF is wrong with Claire?

Is she on steroids?

Her face ain't right.

R112, I noticed that, too. Something was definitely different about her. Her voice didn’t even sound like it usually does.

By the way, has anyone else noticed how Basil Smikel is looking thinner these days? Hope he’s okay and that it’s his choice, not because he’s ill or anything.

Claire has had too much work done…all of it bad. Now, she can’t fix it. Jocelyn Wildenstein here we come!

Why is Jonathan Allen so red tonight?

The Weekend gang this morning is like a laugh out loud fest and they are all talking one over the other. Folks it's 7 am please dial it down. In need of a strong and calm moderator.

Eugene Daniel is particularly grating today. Stop yelling and calm yourself down

Today? Just the sight of that bitch any day is grating.

Listening to Ms Eugene Daniel and Ms. Jonathan Capehart is the equivalent to listening to a nessssssssst of ssssssssssnakes in a basssssssssket.

🐍 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

I still can’t believe they gave those two snow queens their own show, and on a Sunday morning at that. Eugenia is especially bad with that horrific Afro.

I came across Alex Witt yesterday- that peasant blouse she was wearing really made her look like a blowsy old drunk, like the type of bitch who drinks the Franzia right from the spigot.

I’m not watching. As a guest in the last I thought Capehart was interesting, though not host material and Daniels never added anything beyond conventional wisdom.

Daniels is supposed to add gravitas with his White House Correspondents crap, but he comes off as an MSNBC Billie Porter knock off.

Mush-mouthed baby hippo Yamiche Alcindor praising this president's "collegial" tweet to President Biden.

I can’t stand her.

R124 It's time to finally call it. As the designated protégé of the truly great Gwen Ifill, she's not cutting it, and does not deserve the deference afforded her on that account. Bye.

R123 Yes-An Un-funny Billy Porter.

When did Alex Witt transition into Madonna?

A really rough looking Madonna, I may add.

Alex WItt always had the 'drag queen' look to her. She has very masculine facial features beneath all that makeup.

R128 She founded her own female rock/pop band, Mrs Robinson.

There is something smug about David Gura that makes me want to slap viciously.

Glad to see Claire’s face looking non-carnival like again.

Yes, R131, I also find Gura smug. Very slappable face. Reminds me of that other smug and pompous ass, legal contributor, Chuck Rosenberg.

It appeared to be a cake under her dome today, r132.

And paper whites.

OMG, the cameraman and the booth are scanning Symone for a good angle in that funky dress that looks like a black hole sucking time, matter and gravity into it.

Twinned black holes. They can only shoot her straight on.

What an embarrassment.

Maddow!

Yeah, I've slapped it a couple of times to Mr. Gura.
