On AM JOY now on MSNBC.

Trump apologist Pastor Mark Burns is completely losing it on AM JOY. He is having a total meltdown.

Joy confronting him with Trump's words and conduct. He refuses to answer a question and only wants to talk over her.

It is so pathetic. She should just cut the feed.

Yay! She threw him off the show. Bye-bye.

Joy Reid is personally incensed over Trumpy's racist comments, and she has a right to be incensed. But indulging in her own animus toward Trumpy should not be her job on the air. She doesn't need to hoist her own flag by degrading Trumpy's apologists. Yes, we should know how the apologists use rhetoric to promote ambivalence and distractions, but those tactics should be addressed as metacommunicative news items rather than have them be indirectly addressed by slamming apologists.

Let's have a better discussion of what the Dems want to do to create a more compassionate, equitable set of policies that address urgent national needs.

they keep yelling over you, you need to end the discussion and kick the jerk off.

We've been too nice. For a decade, we have tried and tried to reason with these people, only to be shouted over because they cannot defend their positions factually or morally.

It is time to call and write Representatives and Senators EVERY DAY, sign petitions, demonstrate, march and otherwise resist these fucks. And, when the time comes to vote, ROLL OVER THEM.

They are a racist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic, anti-intellectual minority. I'm tired of trying to reason with them. We need to take back our country and drive these assholes back under their rocks where they were until the birth of the so-called Southern strategy.

from the reputation that FOX has of being an extension of the Party. Joy usually controls them much better than she did this morning. Of nothing else, he reinforced the fact that ALL Repugs are idiots!

Not to mention, she must work 22 hours a day with a brief power nap sometime in the middle. I see her morning, noon and night! Hardest working woman in the news business! Being smart is a plus, too!

One of the participants (a woman) even said she was concerned that even Obama did not do more before the election
to alert the American public about the Russia-Trump connections. In retrospect it seems ever more mysterious to me
as well. She said we very well wouldn't even be having these discussions right now had something been done.
I feel cheated and very angry myself. I donated to the Clinton campaign both in time and money. It was all in vain it seems.
She was cheated out of the presidency by a criminal corrupt campaign (not hers!).

There would be constant Republican cries of stolen election any attempts to investigate Trump and his Russia connection would be labeled Political revenge. No matter the outcome we would still need to get rid of Trump it may be easier with him in office.

and republicans trot out people of color to defend Trump and to lie to the public and tell us Trump is not racist. Honestly these people need to be ignored instead of given a platform on national television to lie.

Now there's a blond lady saying that the President running his businesses from the WH is fine because A: "The people knew this and voted for it" and B: He's doing what the Constitution requires and has Congressional oversight.

A: I seriously don't think the majority of his voters understand the concept of "emoluments" and why it's bad for a businessman to have the serious leverage of the Presidency at his fingers to abuse, even with the best intentions. Joy interjected over her something to the effect of "three million more voters didn't vote for it!"

B: As Joy stated, Congress isn't overseeing him because Ryan wouldn't bring the issue to the floor.

Need to stop inviting these apologists. We’ve got enough toxicity in this country than to have to witness it on the news. Theyre just spreading rw propaganda.

Rational, moderate republicans fine...but keep the extremists off the damn news.
