Joe & Mika are actually criticizing Trump today, calling his behavior & rhetoric stupid & autocratic

Joe referred to autocrats starting with undermining the press and judiciary.

They both mentioned Trump's constant lying, how it would lead people to be skeptical of everything they hear.

Mika said she hoped Trump's behavior was "only stupidity" because otherwise we're in real trouble.

And Joe was asking why Republicans aren't stepping up to criticize Trump more.

I suppose, Joe, because they're as afraid of Trump as you've appeared to be, most of the time. especially since you and Mika were summoned to Trump Tower last fall after he tweeted what looked like a blackmail threat.

Every day is a new horror and as far as I can tell just a handful of Democrats are speaking out/forming a plan. Joe and Mika are partly responsible for the election of this ass and they better start criticizing him.

I know who "Joe and Mika" but I have never watched their show Just reading comments about the show paints a picture to me of program that is designed to imitate serious political commentary

Joe says this, Mika says that--it doesn't seem as though there is really anything of substance going on or that the two main characters really have any deep political opinions. They seem more like actors.

They do seem to be good at making themselves the story.

I do know that Mika is a legacy celebrity due to her father and that Joe had a checkered history as a member of congress-got in on the 1994 Newt Gingrich Contract with America election when Democrats lost the house enormously. (the 1990s version of the Tea Party.

I guess they make a lot of money with their shtick.
