But Joe spent the first thirty minutes basically laying out what an utter imbecile Trump is, how he got played, and just how utterly corrupt the administration is.

I'll take a serving of that in the morning.

...responding to Ghouliani*s assertion that the Mueller investigation "...is the most corrupt investigation he's ever seen."

Not a big fan, but I have to say, he slapped Ghouliana* and tRumplandia* nicely. I enjoyed watching.

We're it a comprehensive segment, but it was effective and infuriating nonetheless.

Hope that segment gets posted to Youtube. A nice summary, even if not totally complete (as the other poster says - could have gone on forever).

I'm sure you do. When ever I'm in a waiting room ect. I will change the channel if its on fox news when I get the chance. Usually to MSNBC, or FSTV if they have it.

The one I went and complained about, was Fox News, period. It was a Denny's. They turned it down, would not turn it off. I got a couple of evil looks because I looked at ALL close to me. And no, I don't carry a gun. I wanted to enjoy my breakfast without the RW shit filling up my ears and agitating my spirit and mind.

And don't get me wrong. BE STRATEGIC. Judge the situation. These clowns are deluded by trump and some will try to hurt one, physically. Do not respond to any RW nazi screaming in ones face with a verbal attack. I smile and look them in the eye. Let them scream I feel, it's their stress levels, hearts being negatively affected, with as infected as they are by hate. It's going be a hell of a runup to the November election.

But since MSNBC is the last thing on when I go to sleep, it's the first thing on when I get up in the morning. So "Morning Joe" is on, and I actually started listening as I get ready for work. While we're still at opposite ends politically, let's give him credit where it's due. He is at least calling a spade a spade. He calls out Trump's bullshit. The blind fealty to the boy-king is not there. With today's Trumplicans, that can be a dangerous stance. He has left the party, along with other conservatives who still have a conscience.

He and Mika will never be Rachel and Lawrence, but they're also not the RW puppets from Faux Noise.

Restaurants, gyms, health care providers, car service folk, and the like, all get their cable bill subsidized by cable companies to carry their favorite products. I used to get $150 bonus for anyone that would buy the Golf Channel. No Shit.

The world is what it is.

Lots of information, knowledgeable people & experts are on, and the like.

It's good to see a business have something on the tv besides Fox. Around here, it's alway Fox, which is irritating.

… than FOX AND FRIENDS. I don't share many views with Joe, John McCain, Nicolle Wallace, Steve Schmit etc, etc.. but, at least they are not agents of a foreign country. They prefer Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung Un.

I leave any eatery that has FOX on, and I tell them very LOUDLY.

Since the last time Mika went off on the Clintons, however, it's been CNN and The Bill Press Show on FSTV for me in the mornings.
