Sure we love watching Morning Joke now.

[Jakes Progress]

Lots of fun watching the right eat its own.

But let's not forget that Joey and Mika did a lot to legitimize the trump campaign early on while feathering their ratings nest.

But mostly I got sick this morning watching Joe lament that trump's antics were keeping the country from implementing the glorious conservative wet dream of freeing corporations from regulations and cutting taxes for the "job creators".

Then when he began ranting about how the women of the WH needed to stand up to trump, how it was their responsibility to defend women by speaking up and getting fired, Mika suggested quietly that men in the WH could stand up to trump also. Joe just talked right over her, ignoring her as she meekly ducked her head, and went on saying how the women of the WH were not doing what they should.

Joe is still an ass.

1. I don't watch it

Never will.

I still remember how Scarborough was when he was in Congress and would come on these cable shows as a guest.


One of THE biggest assholes there was. Seriously one of the worst.

I've never bought his more 'moderate' image overhaul and never will.

[Hieronymus]

11. I agree. I can't stand to look at Joe, for the same reasons.

[padah513]

2. Yep

I'm right there with you. Leopards don't change their spots.

[YCHDT]

3. I think they were a part of the distraction that RM talked about, what they describe is extortion an

... and Trump should be in jail but they're full of shit and helping him distract from more important issues with his nasty mouth.

[gopiscrap]

4. Joe needs to be reminded every day of the

dead intern in his office, it will keep him humble. When interviewing him or talking with him, every other sentence should include the words DEAD INTERN

[spooky3]

15. She wasn't an intern. She was a professional staff member.

[Kaleva]

5. I haven't wasted any minute of my time watching him. Why do you?

But I'm perfectly fine with Joe and Mika attacking him. Distracting him from trying to work on his own agenda. There was a post here yesterday about a report saying that Trump was going around the WH asking people what they thought of his tweets against Joe and Mika. If the Orange Shit Gibbon is spending his day making himself look like an ass engaging in a hissy fit with Joe and Mika rather trying then working the phones trying to get Repubs in line to pass the McConnell health care plan in the Senate, the better for us.

[smirkymonkey]

7. +1000

I don't watch them either, but I completely agree with everything else you have to say.

[Jakes Progress]

30. They are not distracting him. They are part of the agenda.

Rachel had it right. While the world is watching the orange monkey fling shit, the kochs and other corporate interests are dismantling the government. They are doing away with regulations and oversight. They are closing offices that would be required to find out how the republicans are stealing the government. The monkey is appointing young goons to the SC who will be there for the next thirty years. Health care fights, twitter rants, sheer nastiness. They are part of the plan. The media is examining the attack on the media instead of reporting on our county being taken from us.

I watch a lot of things I don't agree with. That's one of the things that make me different from the sheep that follow their orange leader.

[NCTraveler]

6. I wouldn't consider tuning in. Nt

[guss]

8. Recycling

If The ugly Sofa of a Show that Supported the ugly rag of Trump ism.
Can be recycled into a Nice Comfy Couch that supports a Shiny Thread of Truth ism instead.
I can support that

[bearssoapbox]

9. gopiscrap is right.

Trumplethinskin needs to be called out on all of his bullshit. I don't care who does it.

But, I never have watched a full show of his. Can barely stomach sound bites.

Until Scarborough departs this earth, needs to be reminded of the dead intern 24/7 if possible, at the very least he needs to be asked for an explanation about the dead intern found in his office at every interview.

12. Thanks

[bearssoapbox]

24. You're welcome.

[cwydro]

10. Never watched.

Never will.

Seems most of DU is addicted to this show, so I'll just hear about it from them every damn day.

[Vinca]

13. I take your point, but I'm grateful to anyone helping in any way to take Dear Leader down.

Even if it's for their own benefit. (And I agree. Joe is still an ass. He'll always be an ass.)

[Hortensis]

14. +1000. If they didn't consult with pub leadership, and

possibly Koch representatives directly, about how best to use this, I'll eat my monitor. Morning Joke and Limbaugh, for instance, use different styles to draw viewers of varying tastes, but they both are allied with the big-money powers on the right.

[retread]

16. When I see a shit house on fire I will stop and watch for a while. However, I try not to

get too close. The fleeing shit eating rats can be a problem.

[AngryAmish]

17. ,,,and Joe is a murderer.

[FreepFryer]

18. OMG Joe n Mika join Nancy Pelosi in the list of people Democrats should doubt!!!11!...

...enough already.

[Jersey Devil]

19. Never saw it, never will

In my entire life I don't think I have ever watched any TV in the morning, except when I was a kid and watched the Saturday morning kid shows.

[Jakes Progress]

31. Then you miss Joy Reid

on the week-end. Your loss.

[customerserviceguy]

20. I think its a ploy

It reminds me of the time a couple of disc jockeys in Chicago (WLS radio, as I remember) went to "war" with each other, and it boosted both shows' ratings.

It may have the effect of drawing in more of the progressive base that likes MSNBC to their show. I think the engagement/marriage thing for Joe and Mika is a gimmick for the same effect.

[dalton99a]

22. Yep.

[L. Coyote]

21. Send Joe and Mika a thank you for helping Trump get elected.

[Skittles]

23. what is this WE shit

I have NEVER watched that garbage

[JI7]

25. who gives a shit about him. i wish people would stop acting like just because we hate trump and his

attacks that it means we like the person he is attacking.

[still_one]

26. I agree. I never watched him, and never will.

[RandySF]

27. I have no sympathy for Joe and Mika just as I had no sympathy for Comey.

[Wounded Bear]

28. Have never watched it...

certainly won't start now, just because they are now frenemies with Trump.

[jodymarie aimee]

29. agreed

He used to have our shit Scott Walker on and practically have him sit on his lap...UGHHH
