MSNBC—Part 69 MS NOW

Guest co-host Luke Russert floundering on "The Weeknight," trying to defend the Fed's (and middle America's) milquetoast response to donald's attempt to fire Commissioner Cook.

"Here's your hat, Luke. What's your hurry?"

Mmmmmmm, The Weeknight crew is currently interviewing lone Democratic Representative from Indiana, Frank Mrvan, who looks like a blond Sam Waterston, down to the Midwestern accent.

Hottie.

Please fill up Part 68 before posting here.

And now we are here. Please continue.

Morning Baptist needs to move to TBN.

His religious crap was disgusting this morning.

Are we in the tragedy porn stage yet?

I agree, R2. Frank is very attractive.

Please explain, R6.

R2 Frank's definitely "giving" BDF.

Yes, R9, in kind of a Brian Unger-ish way.

R8, likely R6 is referring to today's school shooting in Minneapolis.

Jen is having a mother's meltdown tonight.

She is bleeding the wounds of America.

Jen and Katie are stubbornly clinging to their makeup unlike Nicolle

R12 she’s having blood coming out of her whatever!

Baptist Joe sees no connection to Slave Owning Jesus, the profits of the gun industry and killing the Poors with automatic weapons.

Today, Friday, Morning Joe is finding no relationship between Evangelical Biology, Abortion Services and the destruction of the CDC and AMERICAN HEALTH. When you believe that personhood begins at fertilization, all the derivations are fucked. Vaccines are fucked, mRNA technology is fucked, and I am waiting for Kennedy Jr to bring back SAFE TOBACCO.

Whoever wrote Maddow's Monday only schedule WITHOUT a bump to TUESDAY was crazy.

Rachel should have gone to a Monday Friday schedule.

WITHOUT a bump to TUESDAY FOR MONDAY HOLIDAYS was crazy

Sorry, fixed it.

Slave Owning Jesus Evangelicals split from the northern Evangelicals to form the Southern Presbyterians, the Southern Methodists and the Southern Baptists. Their primary issue was SEGREGATION, but as SEGREGATION lost support, they moved to ABORTION and WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

Nothing religious about it, but a power grab that has resulted in Evangelical "BIOLOGY" fucking up our healthcare system.

Evangelical Phyllis Schlafly went to war against women's rights.

Ugh! Look What's on In place of "Deadline White House." Late afternoon extended episode if "Weeknight!"

I am so sick of sassy Mammy Symone and her fast-talking, lick-snapping attempts to over-talk everyone at the table. Such an embarrassment - she might as well tie-on an apron and a headrag and call it a day.

All this in the advanced year of 2025. SMH on behalf of the proud Black women journalist ancestors and how they would react to Symone Sanders's minstrel act. Shame on her.

^ correcting "in place" and "of" in my first paragraph, above.

All it means is that Alicia was exhausted.

Jen went too far-should have called in sick after shooting.

Jen is a mother, she is a saint.

So this Labor Day Friday Jen ran two hours, then Velshi for a hour and then an instant repeat of Chris while Stephanie took off for a long weekend. The oddball filing in of The Weeknight for Nicolle was a long wet fart.

When Trump starts WW3 it will be on a holiday weekend Friday.

Anybody here besides me have a crush on Daddy Denver Riggleman? (sorry for that horrible pic of Orange Dump on the link. Daddy Denver is in the clip).

[quote]Denver Riggleman

Denver Riggleman is no Denver Pyle.

Agreed, R27; he greatly reminds me of my favorite first cousin. They even have the same sense of humor seemingly born out of the frustration of dealing with people who are much less intelligent but who you must placate and stroke just so you can get your damn work done in peace.

I like him.

Why the fuck does MSNBC still have John Kasic on? He’s a partisan, both sider, Trump apologist who just justified federal troops occupying Chicago “because shorter life spans on the South Side.” Alix Witt just fawned over “her friend,” without so much as whimper, much less a single challenge! Sweet Jaysus, if this network is not even going to question the promoters of fascism, what is the fucking point?

I've hated John Kasick since I first laid eyes on that babbling motherfucker years ago.

His answers to questions include without fail; "when I was governor", "when I was governor", "when I was governor". Fuck you maggot.

Oh fuck, I haven't seen him since the 2016 DNC convention. He's odious in whatever context.

Kasich is MSNBC's equivalent of CNN's blowhard, Scott Jennings. Although, Jennings is much more confrontational and caustic.

They must only bring Kasich on during the weekends. I’ve not seen him on any of the weekday prime time shows in a long time (though I never watch Ari, so perhaps he’s been on that).

Is it more palatable if it is called M SNOW?

Kasich is not Jennings. Jenning’s tongue is so far up Trumps ass he can taste the KFC.

Nice earrings today, Katy Tur.

Are they Zoey Tur’s balls she had fashioned into fun drop earrings?

Stephanie Ruhl in for Nicole Wallace. I wouldn't mind her having that slot permanently.

Nice to see that MSNOW is putting all of those Wallace podcasts to good use today.

Alright, so I caught a clip of the Weekend show on YouTube, featuring the new set where they are all arranged on the sofa, facing camera with no desk intervening.

You know, I have been among those here who have dragged the annoying Ayman thigh freak. But the man does have some meaty thighs, in this case, nicely clad in snug-fitting gray jeans.

The package, on full display, looked pretty good as well.

Morning Blow still gaslighting their audience Trump style. Not since the kissed the ring. Not a single word about his disappearance from the media and spotlight for over a week now. Not even an appearance or phone call on Fox.

Baptist Joe, your advice to Chicago Mayor Johnson, to just suck Trump's dick, may have been good for Morning Joe, but not Chicago. And your horrifying overview of Mayor Johnson, as an arrogant Blackman who doesn't need help, had to have damage control done by Willie and Jonathan. Interesting, you are running propaganda for the man whose ring you fellated? Trump took police funding from Chicago and is now demanding more policemen on the street? And all this about violent crime from America's greatest white collar criminal.

Morning Joe misquoted the Chicago Mayor and JB. No one is denying a crime problem in Chicago. But it's not Beirut and the shootings are concentrated far from the lakefront and tourist areas in the South and West sides. The guard is unlikely to go there and they can't conduct arrests so what can they do short of shooting people. The issue is one of guns and poverty and Trump defunded all the crime intervention and community support programs. Not to mention that Govt Abbott's busloads of Venezuelans, whom Ice is now coming after, blew a hole in Chicago's budget.

TLDR Morning Joe sucks

[quote] TLDR Morning Joe sucks

MSNBC sucks more for continuing to show Joe.

Joe’s got to go and that Mika thing.

Joe is the cover for Evangelical Pedo Billionaires.

Joe is a joke.

Brandon Johnson acquitted himself quite well on The Weekend and clarified that someone serious about crime would not have shut off ATF funding to arrest the gun runners in bordering states.

Chicago has several Hispanic serving colleges and I hope to hell thet leave those campuses alone.

I think that Ari Melber's opening, after Nicolle has done a yeoman's job of hosting for two hours, Hi, Nicolle, I'm Ari Melber comes off as such a snotty little prick. Fuck him. I hope they dump his legal wigger ass and bring back Katie Phang to replace his arrogant shtick.

Just as much of a cunt as any Fox asshole. He needs to move to CNN.

Ari is not a Fox or CNN bro, he may not be your cup of tea, but he's never drifted into knee bending like Morning Blow or Jake Tapper.

R50 In case you need a fix of Katie Phang, you can check out her YouTube channel. I'm a regular viewer, and actually enjoy her podcasts way more than her show or appearances on MSNBC.

Asians were the first to go on MSNBC. Tells you where their priorities are in terms of race. Guess which one will remain to the end.

Nicolle's show with one of Epstein's survivors was excellent today. I wish she had not asked obnoxious Alex Wagner to participate, but whatever. It was still an excellent segment.

Later in the evening, Jen had the late Virginia Giuffre's brother and his wife, Sky and Amanda Roberts, on her show. I have watched Sky and Amanda speak on previous shows as advocates for his late sister who was the catalyst to go after Epstein (and Prince Edwrd) many years ago. They are powerful, articulate, and compassionate speakers and tonight they were so moving in the interview. Jen did a great job.

I'm tired of Joe Scarborough's yelling and Mika's smug face.

I preferred it when those two were off and Jonathan Lemire held the fort.

It could be the Morning Zeit with Geist and Lemire.

I thought after their rimming of the orange one, Lemire was supposed to take over part of Morning Blow, what happened? It's like they shoved him to the back of the bus.

He is a negotiating chip.

I stopped watching Morning Joe years ago. Why torture yourselves? Just say no.

Keith Olbermann went on a Joe Scarborough rant on his podcast this morning (beginning around 40:30).

Chris Matthews is making an ass out of himself today. In other news, water is wet.

Podcast at r61 seems to date from the post-election trip to MAL.

I like Nicole Wallace and her obvious unbridled hatred of trump. But I've noticed over the past several months that her up-speak and vocal fry is becoming as insufferable as that dizzy Christine from Jacuzzi Bath. Get it together, girl lose that Gen Z shit voice..

What is Dr. Faust talking about when he tells Nicolle that Bill Cassidy has to cast a vote to get rid of Kennedy? Once confirmed, a Cabinet secretary can only be removed by the Senate after an impeachment trial.

Listening to Nicolle, admittedly the lone show on the channel I've been watching in Trump 2.0, you might well think that Trump's support within his party is collapsing. Would that that were true.

why is everyone on MSNBC wearing black or black/white today? Even the guests are wearing these colors.

Death of Democracy.

R64 From Nicolle, I must be inured to it at this point. But the vocal vagaries that still irk me in the extreme are Claire's shrill, high-pitched crescendo for emphasis. And Eddie Glaude's breathy, breathy "folks" talk.

Nicolle, Claire and Eddie don't bother me.

Jonathan Capehart bothers me. I know at least a few others have mentioned this. I actually love Capehart. I find him adorable. I think he's smart. I think he's incisive. I think he's funny. I would love to have dinner with him. I might even love cuddling with him.

But the man has a speech impediment, and he's a newscaster! I don't get it! Is the entire news universe just humoring him?

R70, i’ve been saying this since he had his solo Sunday show. I had to stop watching him because of all the verbal stumbling.

Capehart is just too "happy" for that straight news role. His style is more inline with gossip news. Thomas Roberts on the other hand should be giving a second chance. He fit the part, even women swooned over him knowing he was gay. Dumb as a box of rocks, but it television, we need visuals.

loved the expression on Karoline Leavitt's face at the U.S. Open while Trump is getting relentlessly booed. she is so pissed. This isn't the briefing room bitch, nothing you can do about it but stand there and take it.

R73 There was NO booing. This is all just a big Democrat HOAX! Anyone who was hoodwinked into believing Trump was booed is just stupid, and he doesn't want your support anyway. NO booing occurred! Everyone just needs to stop talking about this. NOW!

Listening to Morning Baptist say that the Governor of Illinois and Mayor of Chicago need to invite the President to bring his police force into Chicago.

Chicago has 2.7 million people.

5 people killed? What bullshit.

Chicago averages 7 auto deaths a week. Trump needs to invade Detroit.

[quote]You know, I have been among those here who have dragged the annoying Ayman thigh freak. But the man does have some meaty thighs, in this case, nicely clad in snug-fitting gray jeans.

Holy shit, I missed it! Do you know which day it aired?

Whatever happened to Thomas Roberts? After they let him go, poof, like he was never seen again.

I don’t understand why anyone still watches MJ.

i think of Joe's show as Millionaire's Row including Al Sharpton and Jonathan Lemire and dismiss it accordingly.

If Trump is so insistent on the military invading a violent hell hole, he should keep them out of Chicago, and invade Mika’s vagina instead. That thing IS a portal to hell that needs to be stopped.

Just the thought-OMG

repost

Listening to Morning Baptist say that the Governor of Illinois and Mayor of Chicago need to invite the President to bring his police force into Chicago.

My partner was swearing about this today. He really is an idiot.

We got a new states attorney specifically because of her agreement to prosecute more retail heists.

The Loop and Mag Mile businesse screamed their heads off, insisting on security.

On the other hand, the cops are mad about the limitations on cash bail, which are statewide and the decision to get rid of shotspotter, which locates gunshots.

Clarification: My partner is not an idiot and the swearing was about MJ

I have sufficient Cornell Belcher, thank you very much.He contributes nothing to the conversation, simply piggybacks on what the others say.

R76 Feel free to drool on yourself.

Cankles McTacoTics, Canks for expediency!

Tits* not Tics

Maddow time.

I’m here with my friend Joy Ann Reid!

Watching The Weeknight for the first time in weeks and reminded why I don’t watch regular. Symone talks too damn much.

Symone brings the outrage a lot of us feel. I like what she has to say. Tired of news people on the left always playing unaffected commentator.

Morning Baptist is ranting about Pritzker and Johnson submitting to the will of Trump while ignoring that Trump's deployment is just a camel nose under the tent for mass protests when he declares Martial Law and steals the government for the New Vought Confederacy.

Every trip to the Supreme Court is an inch in the direction of enslavement. Trump knows e has to wait to attack the 13th Amendment, so he is going after "illegal" residents who have been here 50 years+.

Step back. This Midterm is the vote where we lose American democracy.

Eddie Glaude was his usual blow heart, pontificating, poor black man self on MJ this morning. Joe did a decent job of taking him down a peg or two and it got heated. He is insufferable, and believe it or not, more insufferable than Joe. It took Mika to break it up.

Big box-headed Joe, being the spineless, insufferable blowhard that he is, isn't really in the position to take anyone down. With that being said, Eddie Glaude roundly deserves to be taken down and he deserves the ire he got (and still gets) for helping to usher in this nightmare with his "I can't vote for Hillary" shtick from 2016.

Tried to watch MJ after a year off. Joe saying how bad the DC crime is and that Black women specifically asked for help with crime, implying the DC invasion is a good thing. Mmm. Nope. Channel changed.

Morning Joke

I still can’t believe they’re leaving that garbage on!

[quote]Eddie Glaude was his usual blow heart, pontificating, poor black man self on MJ this morning. Joe did a decent job of taking him down a peg or two and it got heated

What happened, R94? What were they discussing?

Somebody must have had a talking to with Ari because he actually tried to be collegial to Nicolle during the handoff, today.

He is still a smug prick, but at least it is a beginning.

I don't blame Ari for never encouraging ManyHaHa to sit and visit awhile, she with the stupid, insipid smile plastered on her face, begging to be entertained. He has humored her over the years with an occasional minute of banter, then "here's your hat; what's your hurry?"

Oh, the jokes and yuks she and John Heilemann shared while discussing Epstein during her first hour today! The woman has serious issues. Poor Mike Schmidt.

Joe Scarbourgh vs. Eddie Glaude

What the fuck Trump’s ass eater and Prof. Hillary Hater arguing about?

They were arguing about increased police presence in metro areas. Joe said if Trump was serious about fighting crime as the reason that he was sending ICE and National Guard to cities, he should instead give money to the cities to increase their metro police forces. Eddie started his preachy, pretentious blabbering about more social workers, not cops, and how unfair it would be to black men to increase the police levels.

Have no time for Morning Blow since they went down to Fatty's house and pledged obedience . I occasionally tune into the 9 o'clock hour at the top to contemplate the ways I would make Lemire beg for it, but Joey scars is like an influencer who has been paid to not endorse necessarily but to defend Dump in subtle ways on key issues.

Vomitious

Call me Jonny, you need a new daddy

I hate Joe, but I still watch for some of the other guests. I just pretend they are like muppets of Dump and tune them out when they talk with their fake outrage of the day and it allows me to pick up other infor from guests that have real insight. I am up late until 4AM on the west coast so there is basically nothing live on TV other than that to fall asleep to. I don't want to watch a movie because they can be too engaging. Morning Joe is like grey noise and if I fall asleep, I don't care what I missed.

Stop giving him ratings.

What has KellyO'Donnell done to herself?

Wtf was that commentator on with Katy Turd in the last hour who was suggesting the political violence "typically, historically" comes from the left???

I had to turn that sh*t off....

Really? I’d say it typically comes from the insane.

R109 - she's typically an asshole.

Utah?

No doubt Katy agreed.

After the third person told me to look into my soul, I changed the channel to Guy's Grocery Games. I've never given Charlie Kirk two minutes of thought and frankly don't care.

Dr. Gupta said that Kirk was hit in the middle of his throat with a high power rifle.

If that was true, then the high impact bullet would have severed his spinal cord on exit and almost blown his head off.

He was probably dead at the scene and definitely on hospital arrival, but his death announcement was made by Trump, three thousand miles away? Trump turned the assassination into political theater.

Ken Dilanian always gives great reports.

R116 But his journalism is questionable.

1,000 dollar bet Morning Joe will go into a diatribe about how the left needs to stop demonizing the right. Ignoring every nasty thing Kirk said to gin up hate and division. Then drop just one or two words about how both sides should tone it down to pretend they don't pick sides.

For the love of God, is there no one on that show who is brave enough to site specific examples of Kirk's rhetoric to contrast the march to canonize him as a right wing demigod?

Ali Vitali loves MAGA talking points.

The MSNBC’s coverage of the Nazi’s assassination is bizarre and sickening.

Why are any of you still watching?

Everyone loves a dumpster fire r121.

They are being sold off and from the looks of it, they did not learn their lesson.

The Kirk hagiography is actually more pious on CNN.

The New Klan lost a good one.

This one was done by a pro, like Seely Booth.

MSNBC has fired Matthew Dowd for his comments about the shooting. Basically, he said hate begets hate. MSNBC did not think it was insensitive language.

OOPS! That should have read "MSNBC thought it was insensitive language." Sorry folks for the typo.

[quote] Basically, he said hate begets hate.

It’s a positively Christlike statement. Goodness me.

He was fired because he failed to praise Kirk. That tells you where the management really is at MSNBC.

The way MSNBC bent over backwards to praise Charlie Kirk, I thought I had accidentally clicked on Fox.

Why is it every chance they get, MSNBC chooses the rim chair? Fox would never talk about a Democrat who got shot like that. In fact the Fox Five would probably want them all to make statements like Matthew Dowd.

Joe apparently had a nice condolence call with Trump. How nice for Joe to call his buddy. Give us a break!

And yet Russian drones are invading Polish airspace.

Trump's failures are like an onion.

Release the Epstein Financial Money Laundering files!

SAVE Willie Geist!!!

R132, Fuck Willie Geist.

Fuck MSNBC or MS NOW or wtf.....Matthew Dowd fired?!?!

They can't be serious. Why watch MSNBC when you can just watch CNN....THAT'S why they're losing voters.

Boycott this horrid fucking network.

R133,

*viewers. Although Democrats are losing voters too.

Katy Turd’s lionizing of the Nazi was truly disgusting. I’m sure she was fingering herself, giddy during her bothsider frenzy. A new low. 🤮

Turd should have been fired a year ago.

Carol Leonnig has had some major work done since she left the Post. If it weren't for her voice, I wouldn't have recognized her.

I think she's just had the benefits of a session in the make-up chair, and a good blow-out. Normally you see her from her home studio, on the sofa in front of her big open-concept kitchen.

R123 The Utah governor led the way, practically calling Kirk a national hero. Followed by Trump's nationwide flags at half-staff. Expect a flyover at his funeral.

Maybe so, R139, but that was some transformation. I really did not recognize her.

True. By comparison, Mary McCord always manages to have her hair monolithically crafted.

And yet nothing can be done with Joyce Vance and her last minute trip to the cosmetic counter at Macy's.

I was somehow blissfully unaware of Charlie Kirk, except as a name swimming in the Tucker-Fuentes-Shapiro-Kirk-etc MAGA mire. Now that I see who he is/was, I've gotta say, he is one weird in-bred looking MF'er. Much in line with the Trump spawn. Such incongruous exemplars of white supremacy.

What’s the deal with Jacob Soboroff’s hair?

R133, I'm really pissed about MSNBC dumping Matthew Dowd. First of all, he didn't say anything that inflammatory, not to mention he was just telling the fucking truth. And why fire him over it? Why not just suspend him for 30 days and leave it at that? But oh yeah, I forgot -- Jesse Watters demanded he be fired and they must do whatever Jesse Watters wants, so there you go.

Fucking cowards.

R145 I totally agree. First thing I thought....wtf did they do to Jacob's hair?

R146 I totally agree. Matt told the f'king truth. It only makes MSNBC look bad to everyone. What f'kn cowards they turned out to be. they completely abandoned us.

You mean Ms.Soberoff's coiffe. I can't with that one. Never saw an attraction.

Matthew should have just said gays were gross and nasty and lied about it. They would have kept him on the payroll for years.

[quote] Katy Turd’s lionizing of the Nazi was truly disgusting

Katy still can’t get over her dad is her mom. She’s very damaged.

[quote]The MSNBC’s coverage of the Nazi’s assassination is bizarre and sickening.

R120, no offense to you, but ever since I heard the first talking head call it an "assassination," I've wished for a Chris Rock button to push every fucking time it's uttered. To paraphrase:

[quote]"Assassinated??? That cracka got SHOT."

MSNBC died last November. I’m quite surprised anyone still watches this garbage.

[quote] Guest co-host Luke Russert

🤣

Was there no kegger that weekend?

R149 Or he could have supported Kirk's claim that no black woman has the "brain processing power" to get a job without affirmative action or DEI assistance, taking it away from a white person. He seemed to have a specific problem with Joy Reid.

In death, Kirk is getting all this credit for his willingness to debate. Who gives a fuck when he is arguing for blatantly racist, homophobic, crypto-fascist garbage!

If Dowd really got canned based on the provocations of Watters, I'm done.

Carol Leoning had a face lift and lasering

She looks great.

[quote] Carol Leoning had a face lift and lasering

The last time I saw such a change of appearance post-plastic surgery was probably Betty Ford.

She looks great!

Was Carol again on today?

Looks like some well-applied bronzer to me.

Great job, Kash. We'll take it from here.

After tomorrow, MS NOW should treat Kirk as last week's story, move back to the Epstein Files.

Totally agree, R162.

I'll 3rd that! Enough of this demented cock sucker. His "free speech" killed him.

Who was the cute baby bear they had on yesterday? He lost weight and beard go a lot more filled in? I know he's gay but cant remember his name. As I was watching I had an epiphany, all 3 men on the news were gay. I think that's a first for a news cast. + one Hag.

This Emma person is a CUNT.

So, on Morning Baptist, Joe went on and on, that the violence needs to stop ON BOTH SIDES.

The killing of Kirk was MAGA on MAGA violence. It was Kirk MAGA vs Fuentes MAGA.

Then Joe went on to list all the political violence in the past 8 years and conveniently left out 1/6 or the fact that the fake Trump assassin was a republican.

NOT ONE PERP WAS A LIBERAL.

I saw that R167, AND as he went on to scold Americans and politicians for not toning down the blame game, the one person he left out was Trump who just 2 minutes before, as pointed out by Johnathan Lamere is still publicly blaming the "radical left".

Thanks Velshi.

Stephanie Ruhle (with her new fucked up mouff) and Morgan Chesky repeating disinformation that the shooter was a leftist in love with a tranny.

Morning Baptist is just letting this roll by. It seems that this was not a Fuentes MAGA killing Kirk, but it was EXTREME LEFTISTS.

All the extreme leftists I know, want universal healthcare, sane gun laws and women's reproductive ri8ghts.

This is QAnon Next Gen.

Release the Epstein VIDEOS AND FINANCIALS.

Funny how Kirk's own language is not being attached to Kirk.

Joe is some special Trump cum guzzler.

Hey, Joe, explain what The Groypers, sometimes called the Groyper Army, are. They are a group of alt-right, white nationalist, and Christian nationalist activists led by Nick Fuentes. Groypers are a loosely defined group of Fuentes's followers and fans. After him, there is no clear second in the Groyper hierarchy.

Just like the Charlie Kirkers.

Just another Evangelical wing.

Release the Epstein Files, videos, financial records, and USERS OF PEDO ISLAND.

Not celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.

Not celebrating the life of Charlie Kirk, either.

I wonder how Nick Fuentes feels?

The internet is the problem, Katy Tur says. No no more liking Pomeranian pictures for me.

How about Fox?

[quote]as pointed out by Johnathan Lamere

Oh, dear.

No matter how you spell it, he'll always be a big KKKAAAWWWEEENNN!

KT Turd and her crocodile tears would be better-suited over at Fox.

Can the MAGA bitch, move Stephanie Ruhle to the two-hour afternoon slot and offer Jim Acosta the 11pm show.

TIA

Stephanie is a business reporter and needs to own the hour after Morning Baptist.

Looks like Sam Stein has a hairy chest. Hot.

Excellent idea, R181!

Steve Schmidt is one if the named defendants in Madness vs. The New York Times.😢

Love him, but can take his spouse only in teeny tiny doses.

Who is his spouse?

Nicolle Wallace, R285

^ R185 Sorry

Though she used to work with Steve, Nicolle is married to Michael Schmidt

It would be fun to see Michael Schmidt and his lawyer deposing Donald Trump.

Katy Turd should have been canned once Michael Cohen revealed she was a key contact for him to plant pro-Trump stories in the media. She is in no way unbiased. Her show should be called "Katy Turd Reports Lies."

Morning Baptist went off on an Altar Call this morning

Why did he lighten his hair AND flip his part?

Trump loves his blondes

Did Joe switch his hair part because Trump went to the Department of War?

Stephanie playing dumb tonight. “There’s no proof Trump and FCC pressured ABC to fire Kimmel.” She said this to Von Hilyard. 🙄 Then in the next block: in a challenge to West Coast states forming their own CDC, “it’s not like the CDC has become a bunch of anti-science kooks, whom do we believe?” Jaysus, Stephanie, you’re not that naive or stupid. Really? Are you that worried about being canceled by Trumptards?!? If so, just quit, this act of being a stooge for MAGA is pathetic, and beneath you.

As I understand it, the FCC has very limited control over streaming and cable channels. But Brendan Carr contributed to Project 2025, so perhaps they've devised some dastardly plan to censor speech there as well. Of course, none of that matters if all media outlets are owned by MAGAT oligarchs, very nearly the case already.

That's how it worked in Russia and Belarus. You get loyal oligarchs to buy up all the press, then shut down decent and pretend it's just business as usual. Then the media becomes the propaganda arm of the state and is rewarded with more money in doing so.

Kimmel said nothing offensive or misleading about Kirk, he merely said that MAGa tried to distance themselves from the shooter to score political points. Totally accurate. He doesn't owe Kirk's wife an apology, although he'd probably gladly offer one as he knows how to feel empathy. Kirk thought it was a bogus new age concept.

Fags!

Sam Stein is a sexy guy.

But is he sexier than Amen's beefy thighs?

There are few things more disheartening than watching KT Turd and Jake 💩 Sherman "mock-commiserate"with the country's concern over the state of freedom of speech today.

Oy!

Unless Sharpton knows something we don't know, Trump will not be out of office in 2.5 years.

(R200)

R202 Has the Jake Sherman scat-o-phile finally come out?

[quote] Sam Stein is a sexy guy.

In a Pauly Shore kind of way.

Pauly Shore was never sexy.

Kind of my point.

What is the source of the image behind Ari Melber? It looks like it must be a composite with the Jefferson Memorial in the foreground. But with what looks like the Berkley Campanile and Foothills behind - features which resemble them, which AI claims do not exist in the DC area. Odd.

R198 I like his collection of shirts. That he displays on the Bulwark podcasts.

[quote]But is he sexier than Amen's beefy thighs?

Fuck no!

I kind of missed the Ahmed Beefy Thighs Troll.

Dude, I even asked about you awhile back. Did you see that?

None of these meaty thigh fans seem to be able to get Ayman's name right.

R210 I like Ayman's thighs okay. I can't speak for my spellcheck.

How is it that it takes the Dutch to get this all so perfectly right?

It's worth turning on English CC for the subtitled brutal take-down of Trump & Brendan Carr, but if you just want the entertaining, incredibly spot-on Disney parody portion in English, skip ahead to 04:45.

r211, iy is because i hate having to look it up every time I want to reference Amen.

They're even thicc when he's standing up...

But is he tall or stubby with those beefy thighs?

He's 6' 2".

As my former boss pointed out as we were both looking at guys, She said Persian guys are always more rounded in the middle compared to other men even when they are thin. I never noticed that before but I think she was right. That said, she said she would still date the guy we were both looking at.

That is tall. He seems like a very nice man.

R218 Can you provide an example we would know of? I believe Ayman is Egyptian.

I thought he was a Turk.

^Nope, he’s Egyptian. And THIQUE!!

So, was it Mhedi who was Persian?

Any gossip on Jason Selvig, a frequent guest on the weekend primetime show? He's very cute.

^I actually meant any info, not just "gossip."

Yasmin Vossoughian is Persian.

MSNBC has not treated purple legs with any consideration.

Poor Yasmin and that nose job though.

Whatever happened to Yasmin? I don’t see her anymore.

Why is MSNBC showing Kirk’s memorial service? Do they really think their audience wants to see this?

They are probably scared of being criticized for not showing it.

Why is the Widow wearing white?

The grieving widow and her alligator tears. I watched her speech (muted, because I'm enjoying a bullshit-less weekend) and didn't see a single teardrop in the half-hour she preached. "What, and ruin my makeup?"

Surely Maybelline Vance would have suggested a streak-free mascara.

Ayman's family is beautiful. They look so happy!

[quote]Why is the Widow wearing white?

Seems disrespectful.

Is MSNBC really showing it live? Aside from that looking like the capitulation it is, it's also a really stupid business move. Who's gonna watch? Fans of Kirk will watch Fox, and the few MSNBC viewers they have left will shut it off.

The executives have totally fucked up their business model.

Not afraid of a little PDA on the red carpet.

My neighbor's cat is Persian.

How do I most effectively demonstrate my outrage publicly on the now official October 14, National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk? Hopefully, in a way that violates Pam Bondi's new interpretation of First Amendment protections.

Is this most disgusting action by Congress a fucking annual thing? It's getting to all be just too much.

MSNBC IS HATE FUCKING a corpse showing regular Americans what bullshit Kirk and Co. are .

It's like watching an updated version of the George Wallace funeral with all the Klansmen in suits, showing their faces.

Cannot believe they’re showing CK’s “funeral.” They really are turning into Faux-lite. SMFH

Will Morning Joke pretend this was kumbaya funeral, "cant we all get along", and OMIT the hate filled "one side did this" comments from Trump and Steven Miller?

Who knew David French was a CK apologist?!? Morning Joke still deifying Charlie Kirk. 🤮

This highlights that Slave Owning Jesus was about immigration.

Slave Owning Jesus imported immigrant labor that they thought would never gain citizenship, and Trump's Immigration Roundup is nothing but the same policy. They used to be welcome here, like under the German system, where immigrants AND THEIR CHILDREN are given work permits but NEVER citizenship. That is why birthright citizenship has to be dismantled by Slave Owning Jesus. Same with residential due process, only citizens, everyone else is a RESIDENT COMBATANT? Klan Project 2025 is a perfect extension.

The first thing the new Senate must do, after DC is made a state, is GIVE CITIZENSHIP AMNESTY TO EVERT DACA RECIPIENT.

Listening to the Klan memorialize Charlie Kirk is disgusting.

His last political thrust was:

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

And Charlie's last words to me were "Sir. Stay the fuck out of Chicago. They hate you and they truly hate your hotel sign. And get rid of Joe and Mika."

Boy, the widow Erika really looks like she has love in her heart... for no one. She's a seething mess.

Joe, I don't care about your Baptist boyhood.

Well the Southern Baptists, the Southern Methodists, the Southern Presbyterians, the mish mash of Churches if Christ, all the Pentecostals and Snake Handlers, and the modern Klan, have all lost a son of Slave Owning Jesus.

Mrs Kirk is more Eva Braun than Coretta Scott King.

R246, coming from a Slave Owning Jesus Church, I find Joe unbelievable until he converts to the Episcopalian Church.

Real Christians, better music.

Lord, I pray for Molly Jong Fast to grow out her hair and for Katty Kay to find a vaguely human looking face.

Real forgiveness takes time. Performative forgiveness is easy.

If Jesus is watching, he see’s right through these hypocrites.

What’s wrong w/ Sue Gordon?

Symone looks gorgeous today.

Carol Leonnig is back at home - and recognizable again. If just a little bit red. Was it all smoke and mirrors?

I record but rarely watch Katy Tur (d - for the haters). But I tuned in today on news of Kimmel's return.

And what to my wondering eyes should appear? Eli Stokols, Jeremy Peters, and Kevin Baron! As if back from the aging hotties convention. Damn, are they regulars on Katy's show?

Everybody watching?

Execellent interview by Rachel. Can’t wait to read Kamala’s book.

Jaysus, Steph, leave your mouth alone. You look like a drag kaween tonight…and not a good one.

This is not a look you should strive for, Steph.

A lengthy hand-off...

Fuck me I'm weeping. Kimmel is back. He just better burn Trump & Carr to the ground.

Dr. Vin Gupta was on 'Morning Joe' today. He's turning into a drag queen right before our eyes. WTF is he doing with eyebrows ? He used to be an attractive guy.

Mika has zero interest in the interview with author Ken Follett - and does nothing to hide it. She's bored as hell.

R260-ditto. If Jimmy doesn’t burn those assholes I don’t care what dump and friends do to him-This is war not a garden party!

I like the commercia with the elderly pharmacist whose memory is impaired. Instead of taking a stupid supplement, retire.

And all those Oak Street Health commercials.

One would think that only elderly people watch MSNBC

Who besides me really didn't think Kimmel would be back? I'm concerned he might self-censor. Will we be able to tell?

R265, the Sinclair and Nexstar ABC affiliates won't be bringing Kimmel back - that represents 66 ABC affiliates - this includes my local ABC station. The station owners are censoring for their viewers too. Hard pass for me!

I never watch his show. His monaloges are on YouTube a short time later as with most of late night monaloges.

I haven’t watched a late night talk show in years & hadn’t realized how low their ratings are, especially among the prized under 50 demographic. They look to be following the lead of magazines to extinction.

Haha, R257!

Last Friday (or Saturday?) my sister and I were watching [italic]The Wizard of Oz[/italic] on TNT (or AMC?), and all of a sudden I burst out laughing.

My sister asked what was so funny, so I rewound it and said "Watch the Lollipop Guild dude on the left; he looks just like Steph Ruhle, from the crooked mouth to the eyes."

[quote]One would think that only elderly people watch MSNBC

According to the WSJ last year, the median age of MSNBC viewers is 70, older than both Fox (69) and CNN (67).

Nicolle, Newsom has tried to turn the script on redistricting on Trump but please don't suggest it's a winning battle.

It is a PART of the battles.

[quote] One would think that only elderly people watch MSNBC

During the day? Pretty much.

Angelo Carusone - who used to be hotter than hell - is on Nicole's show today. He's taking grooming lessons from Vin Gupta - barely has any eyebrows left. What's with these guys ?

About 30% of Americans under the age of 30 are getting their news now from TikTok.

Is that any better then network news?

It's basically CLICK BAIT with ZERO fact checking or accountability. More like a cross between gossip mixed with a generous helping of propaganda.

[quote] Angelo Carusone - who used to be hotter than hell

Exaggerate much?

[quote] About 30% of Americans under the age of 30 are getting their news now from TikTok.

In the hands of the MAGA-opoly, TikTok will join X as tools for the radical right. In collaboration with Faux News, they can control the demographic spectrum.

Will MS NOW and Bluesky even stand a chance?

Give 'em Hell, Larry (O'Donnel!

"Hand over the Homan Files"

[quote] Will MS NOW and Bluesky even stand a chance?

Absolutely not. Tik-Tok, X and Fox News use dubious information to manipulate emotions and gain engagement.

Actual information is not match.

For everyone who likes people who do not have their heads up Trump's ass...

Morning Joe, how Baptist is this?

Hillary looked thin and tucked this am.

Morning Joe actually praised Kimmel's return and statement. I was actually surprised.

But he lost me after Kimmel said there were people on both sides who also defended him. Joe fixated on that and blew off the fact that it was only a hand full of Republicans that supported the right to free speech. Then Joe tried to white wash it by saying but, but, but Ted Cruise is on a important committee so that's more important. Except that 99% of the Republicans still did not back up Kimmel's right to free speech.

Joe still hanging on a wing and a prayer that the Republican party he left is going to make a come back. NO IT WONT JOE, IT'S DEAD JUST LIKE KIRK.

I haven't seen legal commentator Joyce Vance in a long time on MSNBC, but she's on 'The Weeknight' tonight talking about Comey. Congratulations to Joyce - looks like she washed and brushed her hair, and has decided to use make up before going on camera - lipstick, mascara, and eye shadow. She probably brushed her teeth, too. She's come a long way.

For now, I am going to stay optimistic and say that when this is all over, Joe and Mika we’ll deservedly get the same energy that those female French collaborators got at the end of WWII when they were shaved bald and marched through the streets of France.

Joyce is a world -class knitter, chicken raiser and master chef. She's okay in my book.

Joyce appeared with Heather Cox Richardson and she’s hilariously sarcastic. Okay in my book too…

I like the reaction she gets when she explains to people that she's actually a SoCal girl, coming of age in 70's Monterey Park.

Who? Joyce Van Ark?

Joyce Van-ce. No relation to the couch-fucker.

Chris Hayes such a doofus. Just referred to dump as ‘’the king’’. Won’t be surprised when he heads over to FOX.

?????, R290?????

No. I don't even like Chris Hayes, but that is NOT what he said, or what his intent was.

I forgot Hillary was on Morning Joe this morning, dammit.

[quote]Chris Hayes such a doofus. Just referred to dump as ‘’the king’’.

Apparently you have no concept of sarcasms. I am not a Chris Hayes fan, I find him boring, but that guy is as solid liberal as you can get. He's like Rachael Maddow's little baby brother.

Ken Dilanian has aged a few months before our very eyes this past week! He's one of the hardest workers in the business, and it's been a one-story-after-the-next news week.

The job's about to get even more strenuous, Ken; take naps throughout the day.

Dilanian's reporting on the Comey case is excellent as all of his reports are.

I didn't miss Nicole Mumbles Wallace today, however, Alicia Menendez has excellent diction.

Whenever I see Ken Dilanian, I think dutiful altar boy. Him in those black and white vestments.

"Ken, gather your things, and follow me to the rectory. I have a special task you can help me with."

"Yes, Father."

Have we discussed this? With MSNBC losing access to NBC News' foreign correspondents, they've now signed a deal to use Sky News for international reporting. MSNBC already switches to Sky News during the overnight hours when there's a big breaking international story. But now, it appears they're going to use Sky more regularly for international news.

Armenians by and large belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church, which allows its priests to marry.

I'll miss Keir.

r298, the fucking joy I get from MS NOW shit canning that crappy filler, Dateline NBC, is wonderful.

Where does Kier Simmons end, on all of this?

Ken Dilanian looks like he's got a tight body under that suit.

[quote] Where does Kier Simmons end, on all of this?

Keir Simmons is an NBC correspondent, so he probably won't appear on MS NOW once the separation from NBC is complete. Same story for Richard Engel, Matt Bradley, and Raf Sanchez. Instead, MS NOW will use Sky News correspondents for international reporting.

I will not miss Ms. Sanchez!

Me either.

Velshi seems like he really enjoys taking on the correspondent gig, when called upon by events in the news.

Alex Wagner just joined the Pod Save America crew as a sort of reporter on the ground. I don't know what that means for her role at MS NOW.

Isn't Sky News that right wing Aussie version of Fox?

Reverend Al just had Eric Adams on his show. Rev. Is so very tolerant but I am not and couldn’t listen to that Trump sucking criminal lie and pontificate.

Is Kamala Harris using Gavin Newsom’s lines?

Is Morning Baptist going to expose Southern Baptists Incorporated for the illegal money laundering business masquerading as a "church"?

Funny how Morning Baptist is talking about the Violence against the LDS church.

Totally ignoring that it is MAGA on Mormon violence. Is the Mormon Church about to find out that they are the New Jews? That they have been used by Slave Owning Jesus Evangelicals?

Hilarious.

I had no idea that Trump posted a disgusting and racist AI video of Harkeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer over the weekend until Lawrence O'Donnell mentioned it. Why hasn't other media reported this?

It was just posted in the hour before Lawrence’s show.

I've only seen still photos. He seems to think Hakeem Jeffries is Mexican?

Is there a link, r312?

Jeffries posted this in response to the AI generated video.

Good come back.

"Disaster in Chief" - Lawrence O'Donnell is ripping them all new assholes tonight, from donald to Dershowitz and all perianals in between!

Catch it on 1am replay if not now.

I really like Lawrence, he doesn't mince his words.

Not sure why Stephanie has a sudden flirtation with Senator Dusty Wiglet (Rand Paul 🙄), but she needs to learn how to confront his false equivalencies and misinformation instead of letting him hold forth.

At every venue, Trump keeps repeating, " The U.S. is the hottest country anywhere in the world." "Last year this country was dead, and now we're the hottest." What the hell is he talking about? Like we're fucking Ibiza, and he's a demented Paris Hilton.

As much as I like Nicolle, I just can't with her repeated cherry picking of the worst of Trump's polls, i.e., those showing him with approval ratings between 36%-39%, ignoring his better polls, including the most recent one from The Times. It's what I expect from Fox.

FOX has set this standard since Obama took office in January 2009, so why can't MSNBC and Nicolle use it ?

Because Fox's dumbfuck audience is in a bubble; I don't want MSNBC's audience in a bubble, too.

Yes, Miles Taylor! Trump doesn't support the men in blue. He supports the brownshirts.

Brown shirts -ICE got unprecedented 74.85 billion on top of annual 10 billion

I had to turn it off. I couldn't take it anymore.

MAGATS hate bad numbers.

Hold on, those numbers are going to get worse

"Dateline: White House" went *there* this afternoon, describing how new behind-the-scenes questions have emerged, concluding the commander in chief is not okay.

Following his address to the generals and admirals donald is more openly being referred to as unwell, unhinged, unnerving and bizarre.

Going back to his first term, people are remembering questioning his fitness then, but felt that those close to him would keep him contained. His staffers shared pacts to assist each other. Mattis, Kelly, Mille and others tried to warn us.

However, the people around him today just don't care. There is no collaboration among them to keep tabs on Burnt Orange. They are either true believers or opportunists.

The major concern is a president's having sole authority to use nuclear weapons. Many haven't known this or thought much about it. Nixon once said "the president can walk out of the room and 15 minutes later 100 million people are dead." Harrowing!

Don't shoot the messenger.

I don't know, he seems as demented as he's always been.

Elder Gay here. I knew that fucker since the 70s, when I lived in NYC. He is the absolute definitive textbook example of a cockroach. Can't kill 'em, and will fester and wreak havoc till the end of time. We hated him and his grifting antics then, and are beyond apoplectic that this degenerate prick has the reins. TWICE!

Ditto, R331. Born, raised and still in NYC. We tried to warn the world about the short-fingered vulgarian, but nooooooo!

Oh, Jen will be having a discussion at that MS NOW thing with Jennifer and Pumps.

ICE is out of control. I'm glad Nicolle showed that clip.

R334 Truly. Even if/when Trump is gone or out of power, how do you roll back an ICE that is swollen with MAGA moron recruits, violent goons who worship the Orange One? Attempts to thin the agency will just result in rabid spin-off ex-ICE militia, looking for revenge. This is looking worse by the day.

All true. All scary. With or without the small hand convicted felon the fascist march is on.

And for all the people who scream that only old people watch Legacy News, I'd like to remind them that Fox Analytics moves the INFORMATION to other affiliates, podcasters and "influencers".

Murdoch has a news cycle orgasm and the splooge is sprayed on all of Right Wing Infotainment.

Happy Birthday Reverend Al Sharpton! He didn't seem to pleased this morning when Mika pointed out he was the birthday boy.

Danny Cevallos is so damn cute and sexy. He looks like the models who used to pose for PLAYGIRL in the 90s to pay for law school.

R339, he’s also full of shit. Never liked him.

⬆️

Second that on tv pretty boy Cevallos.

[quote]He looks like the models who used to pose for PLAYGIRL

You mean a big dicked Ken doll?

R342 That's exactly what I mean. They all mostly looked like him, had the toned waxed/shaved bodies, with a small tuft of hair around the cock - which was nice and big when erect. And they were ALL in law school.

Ari Melber has cleaned up his act. I haven't seen him in a while because he always looked like a homeless aclhy on his program, which I found disturbing. Tuned in tonight, and he really got his shit together. He no longer has 'skunk head' (he uses hair dye), he's clean shaven and his clothes are not rumpled. Did he enter AA ? Whatever changes he made, I hope they stick.

R341 I'm not sure why he gets so "negged" here. He seems quite measured and neutral in what he says - is that the problem? Isn't he usually brought on to report rather than opine? I just view him as a cuter version of Eli Stokols.

He lost me at “Up next—Everything you need to know about Taylor Swift’s New Album.’

Good thing MSNBC is devoting time to important, under-covered stories, and understands why its audience tunes in.

Nicolle let the "F word" fly today! She is one pissed off woman when it comes to anything related to Orange Man.

Thanks. I thought I misheard.

[quote] Nicolle let the "F word" fly today! She is one pissed off woman when it comes to anything related to Orange Man.

She's not only lost her country, but her party, too. That's gotta doubly hurt.

R347, I was in the car when I heard the F bomb and swerved out of lane! I think another commentator also said it (a woman… maybe Carol Leonnig? Ruth Ben-Ghiat?) about a minute later.

Meanwhile, I was with a group of seven gay men last night and some of them REFUSED to believe that Brian Tyler Cohen is straight.

I had to disabuse three of them of their poli-wonk sex fantasies.

Ali Velshi was fumbling over his words today and accidentally called Steve Schmidt "Steve Shit." He quickly corrected himself.

[quote] Meanwhile, I was with a group of seven gay men last night and some of them REFUSED to believe that Brian Tyler Cohen is straight.

I was quite surprised to hear that as well. The man gives off major gay vibes.

The progressive podcast circuit is full of men who seem to be cookie sniffers but are apparently straight: Brian Tyler Cohen, David Pakman, Jon Favreau.

The other night, Lawrence O'Donnell said that Trump is the first President to have no control over his use of profanity in public, especially talking to reporters from around the world in televised interviews. Because he broke that barrier, now cable news shows (such as his) can use profanity, and replay his interviews in the broadcast unedited - Trump dropping the 'F-bomb' throughout his statements and speeches.

O'Donnell said that will never happen on 'Last Word'. He told the audience he will never use profanity on his own show, even though he can. He has decided to keep his show 'clean' and edit out profanity in Trump speeches, such as the speech he gave to the military on Tuesday. The 'Last Word' audience has come to expect better, so no need for profanity according to him. (I'm curious if he can keep this promise until the end of Trump's term).

I guess the other shows on MSNBC and CNN (I'm looking at you, John Berman in the mornings) think otherwise.

Russ Vought is clearly a sadist. And HE needs to be traumatized.

R353 I was wondering about Favreau…

He was hot in Swingers.

Emma Vigeland looks lovely.

I love Rosie.

Emma is a spiteful socialist. Clearly does not like Gavin Newsom. She better not fuck it up for the dems.

Doris, I haven't seen your name in a thread in ages. I thought you had left DL.

Oh, I'm here, r361.

I like how Alicia is apparently moderating the Weeknight .

She's at noon with the other 4 seated from three to nine..

Symone, girl, stop flapping your arms like a pissed off chicken.

Oh my! Who did Ankush's makeup today?

Yikes!

It will never happen but I dream of Lawrence O'Donnell interviewing Trump. I'd buy a bottle of champagne for that.

I enjoy General McCaffrey's appearances. He can put down Trump and his administration in such a way to sound profession while turning the screws.

Professional. My mind works faster than my fingers.

r365, it will be a prison interview.

Ken, golden, glowing, sun-kissed Ken.

*

We are living through a dry run of the midterm election, where Trump sends the military to protect the vote.

Like Stalin said, it's not who votes, it is who COUNTS the votes who matter.

Wow, Morning Baptist is on fire throwing shit around with abandon.

Pam Bondi, you show up with your shit and look stupid.

Stop this shit Republicans.

Plus, with all the premium increases, thing if how much tax rebates Republicans can give themselves.
