... proves Red Don is shameless which we all know after intimating he's been sexually attracted to his daughter live and multiple times.

He's terrible. I caught the first few minutes and turned it off as soon as he went right to the inconsequential stuff and saying it undermines the book. They hadn't even talked about the substance of the book yet!

Stick with Rachel and Lawrence, with a bit of Ari and maybe some Chris Hayes. Forget Matthews!

The problem is that he often has good guests; at least on paper if he lets them finish their sentences. I wish that they will say enough is enough. I wish that at some point someone will get up, remove the mic and say to him: when you will let me finish what you asked me to say, I will return.

7PM Eastern..... I used to watch Matthews but I really can't stand him. The PBS NewsHour is on at the same time, and it's such a relief compared to Matthews interrupting everyone.

More more more, I say.

Trump's going down one way or another. The danger is that he will go down, and his 30%ers will go to the barricades in support of him.

But they're venal and not-very-strong people. If Trump is humiliated, they'll desert in droves. They want a "winner", not a sick and pathetic Pee-er.

Bring it on. Humiliate him. Destroy his image as a man. Show that he's a lousy businessman and not nearly as rich as he pretends, and yes, that he wears tighty-whities over a not-very=impressive package and likes to be spanked.

That is the only way his koolaid-drinkers will let go of supporting him. And we really need them to fade away in some abashment, or who knows, he'll incite them to civil war and they'll go along with it.

After Watergate and all the stories about the bathetic and pathetic Nixon, crying to Henry Kissinger (who leaked ThAT. Henry?) and talking drunkenly to the presidential portraits-- his remaining support just slinked away, and we were able to move on.

I hated Nixon, but really, Trump is so much worse. I hope story after story humiliates him. The pettier, the nastier, the better. And yeah, it's good for the country to destroy his image with these poor loons who adore him. The only way to disarm cults is to diminish the cult leader.

Yeah, I was over a pal's house helping her get ready for her daughter's wedding next weekend, and she watches Chris. I couldn't turn her television since she was watching it in her house.

I'm so sick of this "Why sink to their level" crapola. This is NOT the 1990's or before when you had far more people in the House/Senate who were civil on both sides of the isle (All except racist assholes like Lee Atwater and that GOP crowd). This is the time of lying sacs of. Of treasonous tRump, Rush Limpballs, Sean Shammity, Lou Dobbs, Faux Noose, Complicit CON-gress, ruskie bots, ruskies, Oligarchs, Alex Jones, Sinclair News, and you can't sit back and say nothing when attacked/lied on (John Kerry). You have to counter these lying, treasonous thuglicans. It's also a time When the corporate media don't fact check or check Fatso-in-chief nearly enough or call him on his LIES. He continues to get a pass with his filthy ass. Hell, Comey's not even a Democrat, but and HE should be "nice" when treasonous fatso-in-chief goes after him and slanders HIM? 2 of those reporters on Chris's Roundtable from Wednesday Yamiche Alcindor's average. Shannon Pettypiece is decent. Betsy Woodruff had it just about right IMO. I've seen Heidi Przybyla/Natasha Bertrand on Chris's show several times when he was on vacation, and I like them/their reporting a great deal. Chris is mostly a lost cause at this point

Finally, a liberal friend said that Tammy Duckworth put herself on the SAME level as tRumputin in her eyes when she called him Cadet Bone spurs. Tammy represents those with no voice, average working folks, women, men, fellow Vets, and unlike Cadet Bone spurs, and she actually served our country--both legs were blown off. This fucking purity thing HAS to stop (Thank goodness most of my friends aren't purity people). Me and my friend don't really talk politics that much any longer. Oh yeah, the same friend was also in agreement when Al Franken got thrown under the bus and then rolled over 10 times by his fellow Democrats

THESE TIMES call for actually coming to a thuglican knife fight with a machete.

There is no substance that would do anything to bolster claims that Trump is corrupt. It's more than a little childish, and irresponsible to spend time on it. This administration is busy and I think the media should be paying attention to what they are doing.

Firstly, I'd agree with you IF we weren't in THIS time and place in our nation's history, but SEX sells. However, it doesn't seem like the truth or flying high is much of a weapon EITHER in this climate. As for you saying that the media should stay reporting on what tRumputin/his administration is doing, well, we have a mostly corporate media who WILL chase sex and ratings. Remember when Andrea Mitchell hammered Hillary Clinton over HER emails day after day after day. Even after the election was done and dusted, she continued to hammer Hillary over those damn emails. I have to admit, I only watched Mitchell during the 2016 election time and not before or much after that, but from all I've read on line from her, she didn't, nor did many in the corporate media, go after Jarvanka's email scandal. It's sad that all the corporate media is interested in is sex, porn stars, huge breasts etc., but they're chasing sex which ratings which =$$$$. Too bad they're not hammering tRumputin over what he/his administration/CON-gress is doing TO this country. But that's the way it IS when you have a corporate media who chase sex and high ratings which = $$$$. The destroying our democracy, way of LIFE isn't sexy ENOUGH for a corporate media unfortunately.

Secondly, I applaud folks like young David Hogg who fought fire WITH fire vs Laura Ingraham. You actually had some thuglicans saying that he was thin-skinned for fighting back against her. Oh, but it's OKAY for righties and the Alex Jones types to trash liberals/Dems? Uh, no. I'm PAST ecstatic that David didn't just say to himself, "Oh my she's childish and rude," and let it go at that. I hope David stays HAMMERING her into the damn ground night and DAY calling for boycotts of her show I hope she continues to hemorrhage sponsors. She's as rotten as they COME, and deserves it. Flying high in THIS climate will get you killed. You see tRumputin & his CON-gress don't care if people lose access to health care who could possibly DIE because they don't have any. tRumputin/Con-gress are murderers, who don't care if folks lose their lives due to a lack of health care. Alan Grayson was heavily criticized by thuglicans and a few Dems in Florida for saying that, but he had it RIGHT: Republicans don't care if you have health care, nor about you dying if you lose it. Republicans attitude is die quickly if you don't have any health care. They're STILL trying to go after Obamacare to this DAY.

Finally, tRumputin is a treasonous, rotten, racist, grifting, a moral, sexually assaulting DEVIL. SO are his family members. He has swamp monsters in his cabinet who are destroying the agencies he appointed them to. A treasonous, greedy, power-hungry CON-gress/McConnell/Ryan (Whose leaving) are allowing him to get away with destroying our country/world, and he's doing that because he's being threatened by his puppet-master putin because of his indebtedness to him/oligarchs/other mobsters/criminals. Yet, there is more than enough evidence on the surface to prove that that he's guilty of obstruction of justice, collusion, possible campaign finance crimes and God knows what else he and Cohen are guilty of or what Mueller have ON him. He'll probably start something in Syria next week as Comey's book drops to draw attention away from it. We know that he's going to fire Muller. The CON-gress doesn't care and too many STILL in the corporate media CONTINUE normalizing him. I have friends who continue watching CNN, MSNBC and other "tRumputin normalizing" television shows/stations who call me and complain/whine to me about this, and that they're tired of all the "sexual stuff." I tell them to STOP watching those hosts/shows who normalize him and who keep going on and on about the "sex stuff" (I watch/listen to Rachel/Lawrence/Joy/Randi Rhodes and several others on their pod casts who don't normalize him/family/swamp monster cabinet/administration). Find alternative printed media/other news outlets/television shows that DON'T drive you insane. Stop giving "them" ratings/ad $$$$. Nope, they still watch Mitchell and the like in this mostly corporate media who continue normalize tRumputin and who obsess over SEX. SMDH @ my friends.

There is nothing unique about it that anyone should believe would be effective. It accomplishes nothing but making the participants come off as participating in high school level social media smearing.
I got rid of cable news long ago and the format and the fact that people watch is how Trump got elected in the first place.

We'll agree to disagree, because I reiterate that I'm ecstatic that David Hogg chose to fight fire with fire against thuglican Laura Ingraham--that he didn't let her get away with mocking him, even though he could have. That he didn't just let it go, which is what too many people on the left do. Hogg hit her were she LIVES (Her show's sponsorship), and I hope he keeps it up. Long after John Kerry lost in his bid to become president in 2004 that he wishes he had fought back against the swift-boating he endured, and that allowing swift-boaters like John O'Neill get away with lying about him/his record to the American people was not his best moment, or words to that effect. It sure wasn't. I have friends who while they voted for Kerry, they told them that they held their nose and voted for him because they BELIEVED in what the swift-boaters said about Kerry. And, these same friends 15 years later, feel even worse that they fell for that swift-boating crap.

book , it sounds like, and giving him a bit of his own medicine. Didn’t bother me at all. Things like this get under Trump’s skin more than anything else. They’re treating Trump with the total disrespect he deserves.

using Trump's proven techniques.

Comey didn't write this book to stick a pin in Trump, he did it to style his image and possibly to save his ass. The massive protection most media are colluding in could still collapse.

Is it okay if if THE FBI decides to join the Koch types and Russians to influence our elections?

How about the midterms? Okay if THE FBI makes sure the Repubs retain control of congress?

How about 2020? Okay if THE FBI helps elect a Repub president? Maybe Pence?

Sorry, but our entire attitude toward this is currently far below PETTY. We need to take FBI subversion of democracy seriously and make sure it doesn't happen again.

And his drooling, brain-dead worshippers loved it.

This is a "man" totally undeserving of respect on any level. He deserves whatever mocking and ridiculing and pettiness that can be tossed at him.

The Marquis of Queensbury is long dead.

Ditto Jeanine Pirro (times a thousand).

the way he screams and his face reddens.

I know that on these pages Steve Kornacki is being dismissed. But he filled in for Matthews a few weeks ago. Yes, low key but he let his guests talk! Did not interrupt them.

They have a whole hour, why not have fewer guests and let everyone talk? Matthews have so many and often each has an opportunity to say only one sentence. I want to hear what Ruth Marcus says; I want to hear what Brett Stephens has to say, or Susan Page, David Corn and Howard Fineman.

I think that even Joy Reid sometimes interrupts here guests and she has a couple of hours!

about him, they wouldnt keep going on his show otherwise.

Matthews/Hardball is something people either love or hate.

While I often disagree with Tweety's opinions, I've always liked him, because he's intellectually curious and tries to see angles outside of the typical left/right box... he tries to see it like a regular voter would, himself being from the working class Philly area.
