Of all people, Mika is first to tell the truth about Trump.

Last edited Wed Aug 31, 2016, 06:19 AM - Edit history (1)

Yes, she did this after helping to create Trump in the primary.
Yes, she did it only after Trump called her a neurotic mess.
Yes, she did this only after Trumo threatened her publically about exposing details about her "supposed" romantic relationship with her co-host Joe.

Whatever her reason, on Tuesday mornings show at 6:23am eastern time, Mika couldn't take it anymore. She called everyone in the mainstream media out.
She said that he is, what everyone on this site knows, in no way qualified by any measurement to be Potus. It was a thing of beauty to finally have someone on the tv box say it.
To say what any thinking, rational, human knows.

I don't have a link to yesterday mornings show.
But, if someone could find it on Msnbcs web site and post a link, it is well worth watching.

***On edit - Well, it only lasted a day. Today (Wednesday) she said she's not so "emotional" today. And, she's all about Hillarys awful emails. Sigh.***

For some time now, she has been calling them spineless and cowards because they refuse to disassociate themselves from the Dump. Paul Ryan has been a frequent target. She's definitely not holding back!

They still cover Trump like a monkey in a suit who can dance and tell bad jokes. "Look at that monkey dance!" they say. "You'll never guess the silly thing he said today!" "I wonder what he meant by that and who he thought was listening?"

Over-paid, self-satisfied cheerleaders for the status-quo who haven't had an original thought or question since Ronny & George's traveling snake oil show hit the road. Just keep reading the cue cards and press releases boys and girls.

Google or Bing search for Gibbon has that image. It seems remarkably appropriate in SO many ways. Certainly the family resemblance is there. Please don't tell the evangelicals I said so as they'll only pout about it and say rude things

that had already been broken long ago that Trump suffers from a mental disorder. It was discussed and agreed on then on Joe as well.

Mika's character is obviously pretty much limited to her posture and rigid disapproval of a short list of words. Even bowed in pretend sorrow at the state of society, she has never wavered in her belief in good posture and has never allowed a coarse-but-highly-expressive word to pass her lips, on camera at least. Her integrity is intact.
