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."

“That’s right, nothing too hard Mika," Trump interjected.

"Okay," Brzezinski said.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
