It was beautiful! Joy Reid is standing in for Tweety and Michael Steele was a guest.

[shraby]

He started to say that Trump wouldn't be in violation of the law with his business. And also tried to say that the constitution doesn't apply to the president.
She shut his ass down good, and she let him know that it would be bribery by taking emoluments from other governments and that the constitution did too apply to the president.

Steele was hard put to get any words in sideways.

[JHan]

1. She exposed his bullshit.

[Bettie]

2. WAIT! He thinks the constitution doesn't apply to the president?

Really?

Wow, I guess they only mean white presidents with an "R" after their name don't have to follow laws or that silly ol' document!

[Ccarmona]

6. I mean

It's only the Document that gives the powers to the Office of the Presidency and also its limits.

[Bettie]

7. AH, there's the problem they have

their guy isn't supposed to have limits.

Now, if the guy has a D after his name, then all the limits! They'll even make up some new ones, like he can't appoint a SC justice!

[Akacia]

13. I dont understand why Obama did not just go for it. nt

[calimary]

15. Welcome to DU, Akacia!

I don't, either.

We should start thinking - AND DOING - like the CONS do. We're WAY too nice. Stupid. Naive. Pushovers.

And we should be pressing the "news" media (I use that term advisedly) to stay on trump like a dog on a pants leg. And lest they suddenly develop amnesia about any reportorial how-to's - because they all simply MUST go easy on trump and keep on giving him the benefit of the doubt long after he's proven he doesn't deserve it - they should be reminded: "Don't know how? Pretend it's HILLARY!"

I actually tweeted that awhile back. It got several likes and retweets.

[Akacia]

25. Thank you.

I was here years ago when W. got selected and I was in need of like minded people to talk to. I then sort of faded out when Obama got elected and came back with this travesty of an election. I could not remember my old user name or password and I have a new e-mail so.... anyway good to be back just trying to keep from freaking out over all that has been happening! Thanks to D.U for helping me stay sane through all this.

[greymattermom]

9. So what exactly does the oath of office say....

something about the constitution....

[DK504]

11. This shit never ends.

And we just keep taking it.

[jknudsen]

3. She has Balls

She is awesome put Steele in his place. I never watch tweete, but happen to land on MSNBC and there she was very refreshing.

[calimary]

16. Welcome to DU, jknudsen!

I LOVE Joy Reid. She's the best thing on there! I'd love to see her replace either Chris Matthews or Chris Hayes. Matthews can go bye-bye. Chris Hayes should take over Andrea Mitchell's show - and she should get the royal heave-ho. But Joy Reid deserves, and has earned, a prime time Monday-through-Friday slot. She's THAT good.

[niyad]

18. male genitalia is NOT a prerequisite for courage and conviction.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

4. Tweety probably would have focused on the perception of it.

"How does this make him look?" or some other pointless image-based question.

More Joy!!

[katmondoo]

5. He is a Trumper, see how he smiles when he is on MSNBC

That is the same smile all the ratfinkers have since Trump won the election. They all look the same.

[elmac]

8. Steele is trying his dumbass damnedest

to get a job with sniffles

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

10. Steele - "that's a five dollar word i'll have to look up"

Joy - "I'll lend you the five bucks"

[Wheezy]

12. She owned him.

It was a beautiful thing. I love Joy!

[tenorly]

14. Msnbc needs to make this a PERMANENT change.

They also need to dump all that neocon garbage (With All Due Reichspect and Morning Joke) and bring back Keith Olbermann.

If wishes were horses.

[calimary]

17. Welcome to DU, tenorly!

Now THAT is an outstanding idea!

Bring back Keith Olbermann. We need his voice now, more than ever.

[tenorly]

23. Thank you, calimary.

My impression is that Msnbc's problem is mostly Phil Griffin - who, unfortunately, calls the shots. I remember reading that no one else at the channel had any objections to bringing Olbermann back - except Griffin (whom Olbermann apparently insulted on his way out).

While no one likes to be disrespected, Phil Griffin needs to either put his ego aside for a bit, or simply step aside. These times demand nothing less I think.

Thanks again!

20. hey, mikey, you worthless piece of filth--take remedial civics.

and shut your ignorant mouth.

[woolldog]

21. Michael Steele is a pretty level headed Republican.

willing to call out both sides and is one of the few intellectually honest GOP leaning pundits (David Frum too). I like him even when I disagree with him.

[niyad]

24. please tell me you are joking, bcause there is nothing level-headed about an idiot who says

that the CONSTITUTION DOES NOT APPLY TO A PRESIDENT TRUMP. that is insanity and bs, and you know it.

[Esse Quam Videri]

22. He was all upset about it right

Afterwards when he raced back to be on his own show on Sirius. His co-host could tell he was all upset and asked what was wrong. He said he had just gotten into an argument with Joy on msnbc.
