I have never seen both Mika and Joe team up so aggressively against Trump.
They are striking at the core of Trump's incompetence and lack of leadership ability.
I hope this continues.

Hot Mic Captures Trump Asking Morning Joe Hosts For No Too Hard Questions
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/morning-joe-hot-mic-trump-conversation
After some cross-talk, co-host Joe Scarborough said, "We really have to get you some questions."
Thats right, nothing too hard Mika," Trump interjected.
"Okay," Brzezinski said.

(70,567 posts)If i happen to land on it (Morning Ho) I am never on it for more then a few
minutes. I remember Joe's work in Florida 2000 getting w into the White
House and I have read about the 28 year old intern who just dropped dead
in his office w/skull fractures.

(2,678 posts)I never watch that "trash tv." They, and so called journalists/pundits, are a big part of what's wrong in this country. You know I'd take their criticism, at least from what I've heard, more seriously had they done this pre-election. Instead all they had time to do was bash Hillary on emails, Benghazi, Clinton Foundation & CGI. I say fuck the both of them!

(6,976 posts)I have friends who still watch them, and they keep their blood pressure boiling because they're extremely duplicitous. I keep telling friends to STOP telling me what those fools are talking about. I DON'T CARE. I'll be damned if I watch that filth and allow them to get my blood pressure up.

(8,758 posts)Actually, I love to hear about how Joe and Mica now hate Trump. You don't have to be watching tv, to see clips of their show all over the internets.
Cosmocat
(14,568 posts)This whole live and die based on whatever side of the bed Joe Scar gets up on each day plays into the primary issue this country has with the media - the fluffing up of republican fuck wittery.
These people are the political equivalent of Honey Boo Boo.

We'll see if it continues.

I would describe Mika this morning as 'terrified'. (I am too)

Everything you see on TV is fake. Don't be a mark.

Gotta watch BBC or maybe PBS to get straight-up news or at least as straight as your going to get it.
Al Zazz was pretty good while it lasted too
Cosmocat
(14,568 posts)For an entire year she gritted her teeth, quietly and painfully said he was supporting Hillary every now and again because that was the role she had to take for the SHOW, while gleefully chiding her on a daily basis for the bullshit meme du joir cooked up to negatively frame her.
She is a POS snake, pure and simple.
Ilsa
(61,697 posts)His recent birthday celebration, telling Mika how much is at stake. Finally, she's scared. She can no longer live in denial. Hell, maybe he told her to stop sitting on the fence and do her patriotic duty to rid us of the lower-than-pond-scum residing in the WH.
She was naive, even stupid, to have hope for 45. He has shown her, and us, who he is for decades. That won't change in a 70 year old narcissist.

(7,768 posts)IMO, when Scar is not on the set and Mika is running the show, it's noticeably improved. He's not physically there to intimidate or bully her and others.

(14,568 posts)where you have an abusive father and the mother and children all take on different roles of enabling it.
Mika the obedient wife, willie geist the likeable son, mike barnacle the feckless uncle, harold ford the wishwashy token other side guy ...
All dutifully tap dancing around JS out of fear that he might erupt and bash their heads of the table, or worse, pull their cushy little gig.
PearliePoo2
(7,768 posts)I watch the show mainly for the guests they book and what they have to say.
They also know that BLOTUS watches their show.
Last week Donny Deutsch said, "Look, I'll just come out and say it, this man has mental issues and is seriously unstable...this is serious, this isn't funny. This guy is a twelve year old sitting in front of the TV all day long eating his Cheerios".
Yeah, Donny, you are correct.
Cosmocat
(14,568 posts)is one of the few people who ventures onto the show who pretty much is upfront about things.

(2,404 posts)I am no fan of Morning Joe....Never have been.
My purpose was to indicate that when supporters of Trump start to turn, then that is important news.
Yes...they have gone back and forth and they are in part responsible for Trump being the President. I'm just think it is important when Republicans start to turn on him. That's all.

caroldansen
(725 posts)more and more past trump supporters regret voting for him. Theyre learning fast that he doesnt care about them even though they voted for him. Is it possible that any of
them were bots. I just read this morning that before the election twitter and perhaps others were used by trumps team to send messages via bots. It wasnt real people from what I gather to get people to vote for trump.

(14,568 posts)They have "turned" on him 2 or 3 times a week for going on two years now.
Hell, the twerp cut a friggen country song, Amnesty Don end of last August cutting him up.
They still ended up at his New Years day bash or whatever it was.
This show is THE centerpiece of the main stream media's harlem globe trotteresque shit show where they fluff up republican fuck wittery and negatively frame all things democrat.

(18,124 posts)their(joe and mika) attempt at showing on their misinfotainment show of two clowns that they are being 'fair'. Hell these two clowns went a long way toward creating and then normalizing the POS now in the WH along with bannon and miller who are ruling the USA as their own little fiefdom with the help of a republiKKKan House and Senate and soon SCOTUS. I'm not impressed, tomorrow they will be kissing boy-potus ass.
