First, let me say that I have missed posting with all of you. I miss the snark, the lively discussions and CountryGirl's fantastic recaps. Truth be told, in disgust, I boycotted the show because of this storyline (the only one playing out). The cruelty of it was difficult to fathom. But, with the reveal, I've dipped my foot back into the water, one toe at a time. Liam hit the nail on the head for me, i.e. Beth was bought and sold "like a piece of furniture." As the descendent of people who were bought and sold like chattel, this was like a gut punch and underscored why I had to step away. It's appalling that Brad Bell & Co. continue to attempt to normalize human trafficking as an "adoption" to set up a "two mothers will be devastated" scenario. Don't even get me started on the expectation that the person who benefited from this human trafficking scheme should continue to benefit from it because "her heart is broken, too." Talk about comparing apples to oranges! This storyline diminished everyone associated with it. However, despite that, the true gems of this mess have been the children. Kelly (who doesn't say much yet) is as cute as a little button. Beth is just downright adorable and quite engaging. But, Douglas? It's been at turns a joy watching him, as well as painful. Little Henry is quite the actor! If you all don't mind, I just have a Top Ten List of observations: 1) Beth had 1 job--just 1. Talk about failing upwards! Anyone on canvas who truly bought the slattern's reasons for wanting to adopt another baby while already having an infant, well I've got some swamp land in Florida to sell them. Beth's job wasn't to be a "twin sister" to Kelly. I watched Fauxdilocks' reactions when she was faced with the truth last week. Based on some of the shit that came out of her mouth, I see a mother who is profoundly disappointed that the human doll her demented mama bought didn't quite live up to expectations. Apparently, Kelly wasn't enough to lure Liam to her side, and Beth was supposed to be the knockout punch in Taylor's ongoing anti-Logan crusade. That Fauxdi and her mama--along with Ridge--expected Liam to step in and play "daddy" to a post-divorce acquisition told me everything I already suspected. Liam was billed as "daddy" while Hope had second billing as "auntie." Funny how Hope was "becoming too attached" to Beth; yet, neither Fauxdi nor her enabling parents had any problem with Liam becoming too attached. Hmmm....I wonder why? That they all acted as if that shit was normal was simply mind-boggling. How refreshing it would have been if Liam refused to go along and have actually gotten his own place while reiterating that he could be a father to Kelly without shacking up with his thirsty ex. 2) As the son of Ridge and Taylor, ThomAss should have been the cat's meow. Hotshot designer; ladies' man and one of LA's most eligible bachelors; and so charming and engaging that he could talk your panties off. The writing has sucked for this character ever since he reached puberty. For all the talk of a brain tumor or possibly being dropped on his head at birth to explain away his chicanery, there are times when a person is just an evil-minded, evil-doing piece of shit. Just like his father. For all of ThomAss' faults, I never imagined that he would be so pressed to pursue a plot-driven relationship with his stepsister that he would resort to gaslighting and psychologically abusing his child. Nor, did it occur to me that he would even know a drug dealer, much less patronize one, to buy molly. It also makes me wonder about the backstory of Caroline 2.0's offscreen "death." I wonder if Douglas had already been traumatized by something he saw in NYC and decided he wasn't having it anymore. Noticeably absent are Caroline's 2.0's moms. Why weren't they more prominent in this story? 3) I deeply resent how Felony Flo has been shoehorned into one of the show's original core families to justify keeping her around. The great whitewash was already in full force and effect, with her ever-evolving blame shifting and abject failure to take responsibility for her actions. It was Lotty, Dotty and everybody's fault that she didn't come clean sooner. Her tales of woe grew more pitiful; the only thing missing were the wolves chasing her through the forest and nipping at her heels. She finally got around to revealing that she had been paid for her part, but she still edited the truth. "A little bit of money?" Bitch, please. Maybe to a billionaire, $50,000 is a little bit of money. But, to someone who didn't have a pot to piss in, nor a window to throw it out of, $50,000 is just that even with the rate of inflation. Felony Flo was content to accept the praise, secondhand affluence and the joy of laying up with her retconned boyfriend while watching her cousin suffering. She and her fellow conspirators were well aware that Hope and Liam held a memorial service for a baby they all KNEW was alive and well. There aren't enough tears this trifling ass grifter can cry that would ever make me sympathize with her. So, Brad & Co. need to stop trying. 4) Please give Sally the backbone, self-respect and dignity necessary to accept punk-ass Wyatt's edited apology and then to keep it moving. He was kissing all over Felony Flo long before he decided to kick Sally to the curb. She deserves so much better than this clown. 5) Ridge--BLECH! He just continues to be unpleasant on so many levels. When I inexplicably still see him with Brooke, he reminds of the dog doo-doo one can't shake from her shoes. I just hope he has the same energy that he unleashed on Felony Flo, Shady Slag Shauna and Zero Zoe for his own flesh and blood. He picked up the phone to call the police on Dr. Shady with a quickness, which is what should have happened. However, he knows (and approves) that Taylor shot Bill in the back and left him to die. He also knows that his "good kid" raped Caroline 2.0 and committed under criminal acts that should have landed him in prison a long time ago. 6) Brooke has been great to watch but I really wished she had insisted that her daughter get some kind of grief therapy. I don't want her backing down on making these monsters pay. 7) The contention that Fauxdi should call the police on Hope and Liam is faulty at best. But, yes--let's just play that game and call the police. Then maybe the WHOLE story can be revealed, including how her mama purchased a baby; how she was aware that her mama made a $50,000 "down payment" on her purchase; ThomAss' crimes; and the possibility that it will be revealed that her mama was Bill's would-be assailant. The newspapers would have a field day. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! I also suspect that had Hope walked out of that house without Beth, Fauxdi and her enablers would have used it to drum up some kind of evidence that Hope is too emotionally unfit or some other ridiculous narrative. Yes--those motherfuckers play dirty like that. 8) SC and AN have literally blown me away! I'll be the first to admit that I had serious reservations as to whether AN was up to the job, as it is difficult to walk into a long-established role inhabited by another actress. But, I can only marvel at how she took this role and basically made it her own. Dare I hope that the writers will toughen Hope up and make her responsible for her own destiny (for lack of a better word)? It's been cringeworthy watching her cower behind others as they fight her battles for her. Case in point was that terrific fight scene between Liam and ThomAss. I kept yelling, "Girl, stop that screaming and pick up something and knock ThomAss upside his fool head!!" Yes--I suppose a girl needs a hero, but in 2019, there is something positively medieval about that mindset. I saw evidence of a backbone last week when she faced down Fauxdi; hopefully, it will continue. 9) Hope has basically been functioning as an only child. The absence of key characters such as Hope's other siblings, particularly Rick, as well as others characters such as Bill, Justin, and Karen has been glaring. And, where has Taylor a/k/a Dr. Demento been hiding? Shouldn't Fauxdi have called her mama immediately the moment Liam pointed out the irregularities on those fabricated adoption papers? The so-called world-renowned "reader of people" had to have known or sensed that this "adoption" was shady from jump. Dr. Shady wouldn't have been able to go through with it had he not already known that he had an eager buyer. Had she not have flapped her gums about how much she despised Brooke and Hope and latched onto Dr. Shady as her champion, I doubt the deal would have worked. Speaking of Justin, I would have loved it if he was the one would investigated the circumstances of Emma's accident and stumbled on the whole truth. 10) Did anyone else notice that Kelly's first birthday came and went with little fanfare? Shouldn't there have been a grand party complete with awkward looking guests including Bill--especially Bill? That's been one of the glaring inconsistencies with B&B in recent months. There were no B or C stories as Bradley placed all of his eggs into this human trafficking basket. Fans should have been treated to another storyline particularly while JMW was on her maternity leave. Instead, this disgusting storyline was held hostage to her return while Hope and Liam continued to mourn, Felony Flo was endlessly propped and the same dialogue among the co-conspirators was regurgitated repeatedly. Not that I wish to see them, Batie became engaged again despite not even being a couple. It's like they've been languishing in backburner hell. Forrester Creations hasn't staged a fashion show in months. And, no--a cheap attempt to knockoff Brooke's Bedroom or HFTF doesn't count. B&B was known for its fabulous fashion shows. Yet, I can't recall the last time a real collection was discussed, much less designed. Dare we hope that there will now be other stories for fans to enjoy in the coming months?

I'm so sorry that I missed the segment with Senator Harris. I was flipping back and forth between this show and my local news station. However, at around 8:30 when they started their ode to Ronald Reagan, I shut the TV off and headed out the door. I get Joe's anger with his party, I even understand Mika's cautionary screed to the mainstream media about giving Trump access to all the networks. But Joe and Mika's studied and deliberate lack of self-awareness reeks.

My eyes nearly rolled out of my head when Joe started his sermonette about not understanding why or how someone like Trump got elected. Really? Joe--you really don't know how that happened? He and Meek-a take absolutely no responsibility whatsoever for allowing Trump to have access to their show for nearly two years. When they weren't doing that, their show became a daily skewering about every one of Hillary crimes, real or imagined, from her emails, her alleged corruption, her ties to Wall Street, and her failure and refusal to kiss the corn-encrusted feet of her husband's former paramours. As for Ivanka, when it appeared that they were trying to trot out the "she was ignorant of the rules" excuses, thank goodness I wasn't the only one who yelled, "She doesn't give a DAMN about the rules!" Joe admitted that Ivanka knew better but, the motto for this administration has been: "We do whatever the fuck we want! Now, what?!" It simply fascinates me that even with everything that's happened two years in, Meek-a and others will still find a way to give Ivanka the benefit of the doubt. "They don't understand the system!" That, while they tout her alleged intelligence and the schools she's attended, and heap unwarranted superlatives on her that clearly defy reality. I agree that the matter should, indeed, be investigated. Oh, and Meek'a, can you please choose better adjectives when describing what Ivanka did? "A thought-out act?" How about simplifying it, using the word, "deliberate" instead?

I simply can't. The first thing I hollered was, "Meek-a, we're NOT doing this shit with you this morning! Look into the light, boo! Look into the light and then a mirror! The only difference between you and Monica is that your adulterous relationship worked out for you!" Or, at least to the extent that being in a relationship with Joe is actually a positive thing. Monica Lewinsky had an affair with a married man--an affair she initiated. This was after having had an affair with another married man for several years. I'm sure that wife is still waiting for an apology! It's downright offensive on so many levels that she's trying to latch onto the MeToo Movement--a movement started by a woman in Harlem over 10 years ago to give young people who were being sexually abused a voice. Just stop. I thought I would also keel over when Jeff Flake--the biggest flake who ever flaked--admitted that the U.S. troops deployed from Tuscan to stop "the caravan" are actually 90 miles from the border and that this deployment was nothing but a stunt. Excuse me while I pretend to be shocked!

It's not just you. There was a moment there where I could have sworn she gave Joe this adoring look--almost coquettish. I wasn't sure if it was the heavy eyeliner and mascara that made it seem that way or not. It's beyond annoying the way these two turn everything into a joke, no matter how serious the subject matter. It's also annoying that they seem to work out their relationship issues on the air, which makes the audience voyeurs to their dysfunction. Meek-a constantly referring to Whitaker as "ripped" pissed me off to the highest of pissivity. Okay! We heard you the first time! Why keep bringing it up, or are you just that daft? The fate of the Republic is at stake and all you can do is talk about how "ripped" Whitaker is as if he was a Mr. Universe contestant. Dr. Z must roll over in his grave any number of times to see how stunningly superficial his daughter is! I'm sorry I wasn't able to stick around for the discussion about why Trump's appointment of Whitaker as acting AG is unconstitutional. I had a chance to read Katyal and Conway's op-ed piece in The New York Times and actually looked forward to their interview. It reminds me of the old days when the show had people on who were actually knowledgeable about the subject matters on which they spoke.

Yeah, there's nothing I like more than waking up to the sound of Dr. Brzezinski's daughter lecturing the women who actually did put themselves out there and "literally [stood] up to Donald Trump." As if they need her advice about putting in the work and knowing their value! It was a stark reminder that I really need to work on my prayer life because I don't want the first words out of my mouth for the day to be "Bitch, please!" Then it's followed up by yelling and bloviating from Joe with his nuggets of wisdom, including that it doesn't matter what Donald Trump thinks because for the first time in two years, he doesn't have a subservient House and Senate anymore. A casual observer could apply that sage bit of advice to Joe also, i.e. it doesn't matter what he thinks because most of it is nonsense.

If this show was one of those biblical flicks of the 1950's and 1960's, Meek-a and her would-be husband would have been struck down by lightning for these particular blasphemies. Evidently, they want us to forget that they were basically auditioning for what was to be Trump TV throughout the entire 2016 campaign. They also want us to forget that after seeming to back away due to Trump dismal poll numbers, their auditions gained steam after their infamous September 2016 visit to Trump Tower. Their behavior was so obvious that several media outlets, media watchdog groups and viewers commented on it in real time. I won't even touch on the timing of their belated admission that Trump allegedly told them that he knew that birtherism was "bad, but it works."

WORD to all of this! I kept reading theories that Grace was Bishop and Mavis' daughter, which would have explained Lady Mae's animosity but it made no sense to me. I didn't want to believe that Grace might be Lady Mae and Lionel's daughter either. But, something in Lady Mae's demeanor when she was informed that Lionel was calling made me highly suspicious. My spidey senses went into overdrive when her good friend kept mentioning letting Grace preach. So, of course, I screamed, "I KNEW IT!" when Lionel opened that door and said he wanted to talk about his daughter. And, why do I get the sense that Mae's friend wants to ultimately take over that church? So, all the pieces have finally come together about the extent of the James/Skanks family's treachery. When Grace gave Bishop the lowdown on HoeChelle, the look on his face was everything! It's that moment when someone who considers himself street smart and hip to the wiles of women with Jezebel spirits realizes that he got played, hoodwinked, bamboozled, conned and had--BAD. His friend, Percy, even tried to warn Bishop in his own way but Miss Thing had his nose so wide you could drive a truck through it. Tasha drinking straight Jack Daniels out the bottle? WOW...dare I hope that we are done with the James/Skanks family after this season? Good for Charity in kicking her homophobic, out-of-line, would-be suitor to the curb before she got in too deep. It was the wake-up call that she needed about Kevin's struggle. I binge watched the first couple of seasons on Netflix last weekend. When Charity proposed a sermon series on marriage, she was shot down and Mae asked her point blank what she would know about the seasons of marriage when she and Kevin had only been married for three years. That's why it was a big deal for Charity that Kevin finally wanted to start a family. I was also reminded that Charity and Kevin said that they were each other's best friends. So, I'm not surprised that she wouldn't let this clown badmouth a man who was not only her child's father, but it also showed that she genuinely still cares about Kevin as a person. Kerissa and Jacob...I don't see their marriage surviving this. They only had counseling on a superficial level because Jacob wasn't fully committed to it and only decided he wanted to make his marriage work because he didn't want another man touching Kerissa. Her trust issues are valid, and the way she talks to him--like a child--makes me cringe sometimes but I can't say that I blame her. It's bad enough that his "sickness" allowed Tasha to work her con and to put them in legal and financial jeopardy, but Kerissa also blames Jacob for Zora (her pride and joy) being gone. Zora--RUN--don't walk to the nearest exit! Your so-called boyfriend not only verbally, emotionally and physically abuses you (with your permission), but he didn't even want to admit to some stan that you were his girlfriend. Plus, you got sense enough to know that everything isn't what it should be and as quiet as it's kept, your family will welcome you back like the prodigal daughter.

Speaking of Florida, did they bother to discuss the gubernatorial debate? At all? I sure would be interested in knowing their observations. Or, are they more obsessed with the two candidates' poll numbers as opposed to engaging in a substantive discussion about the debate and each candidate's platform and positions. It would have been better than listening to Joe lecturing Drumpf's cult members for the 666th time about cheering for things that they "know are lies." Does Joe actually think they listen to him and would be chastened or embarrassed? Admittedly, I didn't spend a whole lot of time watching this morning, but it would have been nice if they took the time to discuss what was in the bipartisan opioid bill that passed 99 - 1 instead of having the "discussion" devolve into yet another bitch-fest about Drumpf's easily exposed lies.

Thanks for the great recap, CountryGirl! I'll just say that it's too bad that Miss Run 'N Tell Dat hadn't opened the door earlier. Otherwise, this basic slattern would have overheard Bill acknowledging (finally!) why he went off the rails. It's unfortunate that Bill fed Hauxdi's over-inflated ego for nearly a year, and she happily lapped up every bit of unearned and unwarranted praise like the thirsty sponge she is. I guess now she has her grimy daddy to pick up the slack in that department. Had she really been paying attention and could see through the haze of her fake eyelashes and mascara, she would have noticed that Brooke did not embrace Bill back and that by her body language alone, she clearly wasn't as passionate about this kiss as she could have been. It's too bad that Brooke is still in Stepford Wife mode when it comes to the creature who has degraded and disrespected her for 30 years, with a rape thrown in for good measure. Me? Because I'm that bitch, I think she should have cleared everything on her desk and ridden the Stallion home to glory--Ridge and his demon spawned be damned. She should have ridden him so hard that her skin was positively glowing afterward. If either Sludge or Hauxdi dared to squawk about it, Brooke should have reminded them both of how they deliberately targeted other folks, including Hope, Caroline 2.0 and Quinn just because they could. As an added bonus, she should have asked Hauxdi, in all seriousness, how could she be sure that Bill hadn't targeted her specifically to get back at Lame? That's some reality for your ass, Hauxdi! Whether there is a Brill 3.0 or not, the writers need to stop trying to perform CPR on dead things or conjuring up the ghost of pairings that are best tossed into the sea of fortgetfulness never to see the light of day again. Just free Brooke of the albatross known as Sludge and be done with it once and for all. The writing always regresses for her when she's with Sludge, and it's gotten progressively worse especially since he comes across as a bully who needs to subjugate her. Even KKL said in an interview last year that Brooke was stronger with Bill. For all of the show's promotion of GarBridge and Swill, neither the Swill boink and the foolery that followed it, nor GarBridge's 666th nuptials garnered the type of ratings Bradley & Co. were undoubtedly hoping for. They couldn't seem to make up their minds if Swill was going to be an actual pairing or if it was yet another obstacle to Leffy. One thing did become clear though. Leffy was a cancer that metastasized and ate the entire show. For months. Just because a turd is covered with gold glitter and spritzed with Chanel doesn't mean that it isn't what it's always been: a piece of shit. #RealTalkExpress

I'll just start by saying that the neither of the Greenleaf men have a lick of sense. I'll be the first to admit that Lady Mae has a whole lot of shit with her, but in this instance, Bishop would do well to L-I-S-T-E-N. When it comes to women with game, real recognizes real and Mae knows of which she speaks. Color me shocked--shocked!--that Mae's lawyer didn't advise her to (a) get credit in her own name; and (b) transfer half of the money in the joint accounts into a separate account that James doesn't have access to. That way she wouldn't have been ass out and caught off guard the way she was. Didn't she watch Waiting to Exhale? The moment James fixed his mouth to suggest that they trust Rochelle with their joint funds, Mae should have been at the bank later that day or first thing the following morning before the doors opened. Jacob...his unholy dick is like a weather vane! He has one serious argument with Kerissa about their child, and he's sick of being judged because Kerissa may still be harboring some "I'm Willing to Forgive, But I Can't Forget" resentment in her heart. Sick of being judged, bruh? Then STOP doing stupid shit! Like telling your personal business to the Real Housewife of a Tennessee Megachurch. Like, siding with your mother (who evidently hasn't had much success in raising girls) over your wife. Even my husband murmured, "That's fucked up" when Mae interjected herself between Kerissa and Zora, who was so excited about seeing Hamilton. It's like neither James nor Jacob get it. It's not the physical fucking around; it's the mind fucking that they've been doing by allowing other women's opinions and machinations (including a mother) to come between them and their wives. James didn't screw Rochelle--yet. But, she has skillfully played the game in such a way where he doesn't see her what's plain to both Mae and Grace. Now, she's messing with Mae's money, which is why James had to go that day. Same thing with Mrs. Skanks (how apropos). By Jacob blabbing his personal business, crying on her shoulder and allowing her to select a necklace ostensibly for Kerissa, he opened the door to an emotional affair. BTW--I have to laugh at the writers' attempts to make it appear that old girl has a conscience. Sorry, y'all! That's an epic fail for me because I've seen how old girl rolls. Zora...Let's just say that I've been "churching" practically all my life and my granddaddy was an AME preacher from Florence, South Carolina. Frankly, even without the usual teenage drama, Zora's behavior isn't that unusual for PK's (preachers' kids). Weren't her parents listening to her during their argument, where she made it plain when she turned 18, they wouldn't be able to control her? Unfortunately, she's seen the hypocrisy around her. Like most kids, they pay more attention to what adults do rather than what they say. That's why she couldn't help but to give Kerissa some lip when she tried to lecture Zora about valuing herself. Zora knows that her mother chose to stay with a man who disrespected her. Plus, Grandma Dynamite isn't helping either. I guess it's no wonder that she models what she knows.

Amazing how this narrative is now being pushed as a backlash to the MeToo Movement, which was actually started over a decade ago by an African American woman from Harlem named Tarana Burke. She started the movement for young WOC, one of whom revealed to her at a youth camp that her mother's boyfriend had been abusing her. These were communities where rape crisis centers and sexual assault workers were not present and the MeToo Movement's initial goal was to let these survivors know, "We see you." It's fascinating how Sullivan and his ilk are now claiming that it's a movement that victimizes innocent white guys. Funny how everything is ALWAYS all about them, isn't it? Evidently, those who were opposed to Kavanaugh's elevation were supposed to meekly sit in a corner and let it be rammed through (as McConnell boasted) with nary a peep of protest. I agree with Soledad that this emerging narrative is, indeed, such bullshit. It's interesting that Sullivan takes the position that Kavanaugh shouldn't be questioned about things from high school. Just imagine if Brett's name was "Jamal" or "Jose" and they had to complete a job application at a fast food restaurant and got stumped when asked to disclose any arrests or convictions stemming from events that occurred while they were in high school and young men of a certain age. What does Sullivan think would have happened? Suppose they failed or refused to disclose those events and were later denied employment or fired because of it? Are we to surmise that McDonald's and Taco Bell have more stringent hiring standards than the Supreme Court? Or, is it that the recent applicant to the Court has some very powerful supporters and is well connected? Sullivan also ignored that some of Kavanaugh's drunken rages occurred when he was an adult--something that witnesses were ready to discuss with the FBI. He may have also been asleep when Kavanaugh was, indeed, questioned about various other issues which he lied about under oath, and which are now the subject of several ethics complaints. Even when Sullivan claimed that Kavanaugh should have been questioned about his unsuitability, he couldn't help equivocating about how Kavanaugh had every right to be angry. But, yeah--poor him for being wrongly treated.

These fuckers. And, they wonder why they get dragged for filth on social media and by media watchdogs. It's the ultimate in gaslighting. So, basically, people exercising their First Amendment rights to nonviolently protest a rigged process by a bunch of white male fossils attempting to ram through a seriously flawed candidate, who couldn't even comport himself with dignity, should be criticized. Meanwhile, the "tea party" folks who showed up at town hall meetings during President Obama's first term with guns in tow, are what? Patriots? So, what? Democratic voters should sit in a corner somewhere and be quiet? Joe, please stop speaking for Democrats and pushing this narrative that they are apathetic and somehow to blame for your compatriots doing exactly what they planned to do any damn way no matter the outcome of any "investigation."

I know that Joe and Meek-a get dragged pretty regularly on social media, and Media Matters calls them out regularly for their on-air foolery. It's just disappointing that The Washington Post continually gives Joe valuable real estate on editorial page. TeddysMom, Joe was bloviating about Wisconsin and Michigan and about white males were the backbone of the party. It drives me batty when they don't delve deeper and discuss the severe gerrymandering in Wisconsin and voter suppression tactics by the GOP. In fact, there's a ballot measure in Michigan to stop gerrymandering altogether. Instead, Joe is more focused on polls and then starts crowing about Democrats "overplaying their hand" with Kavanaugh. I fail to see how wanting an unbiased jurist on the Supreme Court, who didn't vow that "what goes around comes"), and who isn't a serial liar, a possible dry drunk, and vindictive conspiracy theorist, is "overplaying" one's hand. Did it occur to Joe that anger about victim-shaming, possible sexual assault, and a sham investigation, could motivate people to show up at the polls?

Could someone tell me when and how white males became the "backbone of the Democratic party?" If that's true, that's news to the black women who put Alabama's Roy Moore and others over the top, as well as the other women and non-white males who have showed up and showed out in the primaries and special elections. As my grandmother used to say, "talk about what you know, and know what you're talking about." Oh, and just so you know, Joe, people of color and other so-called minorities are real people with real concerns, i.e. taxes, the ability to send kids to college, affordable health insurance--hell just fucking being left alone so they can LIVE without some Barbecue Becky calling the damn police for dumb shit. And, Joe and Mika actually lecturing the media about "bias" in its stories? Are these two nimrods fucking kidding me right now? We watched these two kiss Drumpf's ass during the campaign and overheard them on a hot mic agreeing to peddle him softball questions. We saw them allow Drumpf to call in every morning to the point where the show was nicknamed "Morning Trump." They, probably more than any other "cable news" show, gave Drumpf lots of free advertising. We saw Meek-a gush over Ivanka (the czarina) and her consort's supposed good looks. She even attempted to normalize Melania by giving her a powder puff interview. Evidently, these two think people are stupid or are suffering from dementia. Their lecturing the media about "bias" has to be one of the biggest mind fucks perpetrated on viewers I've ever seen. Hate to break it to them but some of us have some very long memories and won't hesitate to call them out on their biases. Those biases include the type of hypocritical anti-Clinton bias that compels Meek-a to excuse Kavanaugh's lying under oath in one breath while she and her so-called man excoriate President Clinton for doing the same thing in the next breath. I won't even touch on how Drumpf became Public Enemy No. 1 when he attacked Meek-a, which explains why they ramped up their own attacks on him for months. Of course, they're thrilled that the races are getting closer. Joe has always been about the horse race and they really shouldn't get it twisted. Despite what those polls seem to indicate, Democrats and Progressives are NOT unenthusiastic. Please don't get being exhausted confused with being unmotivated.
