I quit watching I think after Episode 3, Alex was leaving NY and Spencer was trying to get out of TX. I CANNOT believe Sheridan played us this way with the death of Alex. The only thing I liked in S1 was their relationship. Apparently Sheridan isn't the genius Paramount Plus thought he was. They cancelled Evil for some reason, a very popular and well written show, and give this hack free rein to write shitty shows that viewers give up on because they're so ridiculous.

Gabrielle Reece is 6'3", and a cisgender woman. She got a scholarship to play volleyball at FSU, played in the Olympics and then played professionally. She's been a sportscaster and now has a podcast. I have seen her play, and I guarantee she could spike a ball so hard if it hit you, you'd wake up a week later. So Payton's argument about trans women athletes having an unfair advantage is ten lbs of bullshit in a five pound bag. In her prime I'd put Gabby up against any trans woman or man. But of course this isn't about fairness in sports, or "protecting" women, or whatever bullshit the right claims. It's about keeping the base of Republican voters stirred up about something they don't even understand. Just like in the 80s the GOP figured out they could pretend to care about abortion and saving unborn children, blah blah blah. Until Lee Atwater came up with this little scheme to create wedge issues, the Republican Party never gave two shits about abortion.

I'm just watching the 9 am hour. The tariffs and stock market are the topics. The marches this weekend weren't just women so I'm sure Mika isn't interested in them. They were about DOGE, Social Security, and pretty much every thing else Trump has done. As far as Joe changing his mind on the tariffs, they must have looked at their stock portfolio over the weekend and realized how much wealth they had lost. Heileman is stating what I had read earlier that Republicans and Dems alike are cosigning a bill for Congress to retake power of tariffs from the Executive branch. Giving Trump this power is like handing an arsonist a can of gasoline and matches and telling them to go nuts. Everyone knew Trump had no understanding of what tariffs are, and that the money doesn't go to the government. The companies importing and exporting pay them. Kinda wish we had the same system as England at this point. When people start throwing a fit over the PM and their actions, and Parliament realizes what a shit show it's become, they do a vote of no confidence and run a new election. Lemire just said this is the worst Monday for the stock market since October 1987. We are so fucked.

Noticed on Mediaite this morning Joe has changed his tune and is now furious about the tariffs and at uber wealthy for discounting the effect of the tariffs on the country. He interviewed Tom Hardy and Paddy Considine for their new series "Mobland". I've watched both episodes and it's a great show. Classic Guy Ritchie, so be ready for violence, insane car chases, and plot twists.

The part that broke me was the young people talking about how they loved participating in sports and it was like a second family. I participated in track, volleyball and was a cheerleader from 6th grade thru high school and I know how that sense of family helps young people come into their own. Like they say, the cruelty is the point. They're just kids, and like a commenter above said, sports at younger ages is about learning how to be part of a team, sportsmanship, and as if this needs to be repeated, having fun. I loved the young woman in FL defending her friend. The mom saying her daughter wasn't that good at softball. And of course the field is a muddy mess. Can't someone start a GoFundMe to pay a construction company to re-grade that field so it drains properly.

It amazes me how most political media, including some on Fox, are screaming about how these tariffs, as well as the DOGE cuts, are going to put the US into a recession and maybe even a depression, and Joe is basically denying the facts in front of him. And if you think Joe is bad, go check Mika's IG. She is celebrating herself starting KYV with a video of her in Abu Dhabi, Paris, KYV/Forbes, and getting her hair and make up done. How women are loving that she told them to go after what they want. Gosh if Mika hadn't told me to do this, I'd be living in a van down by the river. And if Joe says everything is fine, I believe him. He's ALWAYS right. It's like if you watch MJ, and then any other show on MSNBC, you wonder "which one of these doesn't belong here". We expect Trump to fiddle while Rome burns, and tbh, did we really ever expect JoMika to be anything but a couple of oblivious jackasses who only care about enriching themselves while the country suffers.

Well we now know for sure Maeve is a psychopath. This episode was classic Guy Ritchie. That insane car chase, the twists regarding Archie possibly being a police informant, Bella and Harry's relationship, and that ending with Harry walking thru the club and the reveal at the end. What is Bella up to? And the meeting between Seraphina and another Harrigan brother? Agree only getting one episode a week is just torture.

Joe is right in one respect. Trump said he would invoke tariffs, and he did. Anyone who didn't believe him and voted for him is delusional. How many times do you touch a hot stove? What is happening in the US right now is Putin's wet dream. Trump and Musk are destroying America. Now, for Joe to be so blase about what has just happened to the US economy, the stock market, and people's 401K's and retirement accounts shows what an out of touch buffoon he is. Of course the tariffs are idiotic. Trump has no idea what the fuck he's doing. He thinks he's more powerful than China and the EU. And China and the EU just told him "Fuck around and find out". He has destroyed farming, the auto industry, housing, the stock market, and any sense of security people had about the economy. God help us.

I read this earlier this morning. The producer was right about one thing. No one gives a shit about Joe and Mika running their mouths without engaging their brains. Problem is, somebody should. The two of them lie and make up shit to look like they're in the know. Was the problem fixed? Did Mika apologize for saying that President Obama encouraged George Clooney to write an op ed saying Biden should step down from the 2024 campaign? When she had no idea what she was talking about?

This episode really nailed the insanity of marketing a big feature film. A crazy action film turns into The Sixth Sense. Ron Howard isn't as nice as he seems.

I remember this. But she would sit there drinking those disgusting Starbucks coffees that have 1,000 calories of sugar. There's a pic on her IG of her drying her dog while he's sitting in her lap. She can't see what she's doing because the dog is in front of her and she's holding the dryer in front of the dog. I don't know, Einstein, set the dog on the floor and sit down with him so you can move the dryer around before you burn him.

Great article on Mediaite, showcasing the new Biden book, and JoMika's clueless response to it. Like, Jonathan is explaining how the "media", aka JoMika for one, covered up the problems with Biden, saying he was fine and strong and brilliant. When in 2023, the Administration was putting plans into place to replace him in the 2024 race, keep him from the press, etc. They were sitting there nodding like, "I know, can you believe this shit?", when they were part of the problem. (as usual) https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/joe-scarborough-and-mika-brzezinski-nod-along-as-reporters-deliver-stunning-indictment-of-their-biden-coverage I sent this article to my sister last night, and her response to the photo included in it was "why does Mika always look like she just woke up from a drunken stupor". I'm very proud of her, usually she's much nicer than me. Game recognize game.

I got a very Lady MacBeth vibe from Maeve. I'll say this, you can't beat the cast as far as a who's who of British actors. I recognized Lara Pulver from Sherlock. She was "the woman" in A Scandal in Belgravia. I was a little disappointed they only aired one episode. At least it's something other than more Taylor Sheridan stuff on Paramount.

I think as we get older, our joints stiffen and when you've been sitting for a while and get up, it takes a minute to be more mobile. I know it affects me. He's also a little overweight which may cause him to look like he's waddling. I tried to watch this last episode and just couldn't take it. I don't understand how they have 2 adult dogs who aren't potty trained. How were they trained in the City but now they can get out into the yard any time and either Hilaria or the nannies aren't letting them out. You can't expect those kids to be taking care of them. And please crew, show us more dog poop. That's not disgusting at all. If only they'd get Cesar Millan to come to their house. He'd blame Hilaria and Alec for not being the adults and taking care of them. I just saw on Reddit that the show won't be renewed. Thank Baby Jesus. Also heard Alec is filming a movie somewhere so he's back to work.

Did she realize Joe was kidding? And what was she so concerned about? I do think the WHCA dinner has gotten out of control with the celebrities in attendance and the focus on a stand up comic skewering politicians, etc. The dinner is to celebrate journalism and award scholarships, not to see which comedian is going to start losing gigs for stating the truth.

I guess some of us have been in situations where we have so much adrenaline and focus on one problem, like "if I can just do this, just give me the strength and insight to fix this". It would make the viewer understand Robby's actions. Dana and Abbott knew he didn't mean to ignore other patients. Talk to any trauma care doctor, there's always that one patient that will keep you trying ANYTHING to help them. When Robby lists everyone who died that day, that same day, who he couldn't save. It was like "I am not going to let her die".

We don't know where the shooter was, if he was located in an elevated spot where he could do the most damage. Like Vegas. That shooter was in a hotel room. The crowd was sitting ducks. Agree re Robby losing it. You never know when ptsd will hit you, it may be totally unrelated to what causes you to break. He was trying to save Leah because of his love for Jake. Think if it was someone you loved and you'll do anything to save them. You get so focused on that one mission you lose sight of everything else. And also agree, there's Noah Wyle's Emmy, that last scene, along with the entire first season.

NORBERT HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!! When did Seth Rogen get so hot? Loved how he gave each puppy a little smooch. The Studio is hilarious.

But did Washington when the Revolutionary War troops took over the airports? Maybe he just called his generals on an unsecured Signal app. https://time.com/5620936/donald-trump-revolutionary-war-airports/

This is pretty good. Lots of inside H wood humor and references, luckily Seth has a ton of friends willing to do cameos. Much better than The Franchise. I don't think I laughed once at the couple episodes I watched. Catherine O'Hara is a hoot. It does seem Matt L is a little too naive and bumbling to have been in the business 22 years. He doesn't realize everyone is only nice to him to get something they want?

Kemper I think it's like all cable news, when nothing significant is going on, it's boring AF . This has shown that they actually can run a good show, get the guest they need to explain and put things in context. I had one thought while watching all of this unfold: What a bunch of nincompoops. And for once I'm not talking about JoMika. Don't worry about "show hate". I've been on The Baldwins reality show Reddit forum. They make us look like a bunch of nuns.

Kinda nice to see them cover actual important events. Watching House hearing now. This will give them more material for tomorrow. More bs, obfuscation, and someone bringing up the shooting at the baseball game years ago when Scalise was shot. Have NO clue what that has to do with this. It's nauseating.

Gotta say this morning is off the hook. They got Goldberg back on as he published the texts. Lemire was reading them as they describe in real time the attack on the Houthi camp. It is insane. It has what planes are being used, if they hit targets, etc. Here's the kicker: Signal can't be downloaded on most gov't phones. Witkoff WAS IN MOSCOW during this text. US gov't officials aren't supposed to use any communication devices while in Moscow. Period. Even encripted gov't devices can be compromised. I don't know why Chris Matthews and Tina Brown are necessary to the convo, but they're on set. They had Sen Warner on, and now Hakeem Jeffries is on. He's called for Hegseth to be fired. The other interesting piece is the coverage of the SSA head confirmation hearing. Warren and other Dems are hammering him on getting the staffing back up at SSA as the web site is crashing, and the phone lines are jammed. Warren said the promise to the American workers is that the gov't get them their benefits, and that can't happen if the staff isn't there. They're going to, for lack of a better term, FAFO. They think the town halls are bad now? Wait til this SSA stuff really starts affecting people.

Goldberg was on in the 7 am hour. Joe, Willie and Lemire interviewed him. I had seen him on Jen Psaki's show on Monday night, and then Rachel and Jonathan Capehart kept the story going with various guests. The hearings today were lit, as Jonathan predicted. No one would admit the texts had classified information, so Sen Warner kept asking to see them. I've heard Goldberg is going to release them, since he's being called a liar by the Administration. If they aren't classified, then show them.

Mika turning into Joe by claiming "I'm hearing from people who have family in the military who are FREAKED OUT!!!!!". Sure Mika. Whatever. Why would people call you about this? I will say watching the coverage on MSNBC, including MJ, has been a hoot as they tear apart Trump's NSC doing group chats about war plans. IDK, maybe call all parties in to a SCIF on site? Don't they all live in DC? Why are we doing this on phones, encripted or otherwise? Let alone a public messaging app. What if you miss one reply that says "POTUS calling off attack! Stand down!!" And Hegseth using emogees. Nothing says military genius like not realizing who you're texting AND using emogees like a 12 year old girl excited she got Taylor Swift tix. He thought he sounded so cool saying "OpSec". Yeah, except there wasn't much Operational Security was there? I wish they'd get Pete Buttigieg on. He's been on fire on IG.
