It might be the MJ sub you're on actually, right? I go there sometimes. lol I noticed yesterday you actually got thanked for your misinformation 😂 good grief. And yes here we find MJ a goofy tradition more than anything? Love/hate? Some people are serious about it and love it, def find that over there.

I have to share something funny here. I help moderate the msnbc subreddit (def not as nice as this place) and I know I've seen Oakville's occasional posts there. The thing is, people don't "know" his sense of humor and so when he adds something at the end like "of course, Joe used to dine with world diplomats" people don't get it! They are like "what??" and it's so funny! They take him seriously. (I have to admit oakville has fooled me once too!) it doesn't happen often but it always make me laugh.

Alex Wagner was totally trolling Like! She most definitely was not being sincere 😂

Aimlessly scrolling Reddit this morning between orders of French toast from my second-grader, and came across the new Abu Dhabi event. It was just 🤦‍♀️ I mean i think Mika is a nice person but how did this thing...snowball? Also, apparently you get a promotional discount if you are under 30 or over 50? Too bad to be in your 40s I guess! I'm just a boring 40-something Canadian mom and nurse so I won't be going, ha, but I was curious to see our Prime Minister's ex-wife Sophie G. will be there.

ETA: This is weird. I couldn't find out how old Maggie MaGrath is but the the other two were born in 1975 (Abedin) and 1976 (Elrod). They aren't even 50! Uh I guess the whole KYV/being 50 is just sort of whatever in this organization. Mika seems nice but I bet she would be an exhausting BFF! They do look almost like sisters already.

I don't get why Huma Abedin is suddenly all over KYV. Adrienne Elrod either, but Elrod is a hardcore Democratic foot soldier so whatever she does, she gets a pass from me. Maggie McGrath is of course from Forbes.

So it's happened. KVY met Dr Jill Biden. Flanking Minka are Huma Abedin, Maggie McGrath and Adrienne Elrod. Expect to hear about it all morning!

I have no idea but at 51 either you're adopting a baby or creating a baby with a donor egg. If you don't carry the baby yourself (I know a couple early 50s women who have carried, but not everyone can) it's donor egg + surrogate so your surrogate is birthing the baby, so either way you get handed the baby.

I even had this feeling in 2008, that the US could overcome anything! Yours sounds more amazing of course. It's been quite a hit to realize things aren't far from disaster at all really.

Lol I know; the show is 4 hours and they're on LESS! Neat trick.

No he wasn't! It was Mika, Lemire, Katty, and a few other regulars.

I've found msnbc to be doing a hmm now more decent job showing different victims, different perspectives and different people in the complex and terrible Israel-Gaza war. There is one character who has been on a few times and to me seems like he's doing a poor job like "acting" almost, and he has not impressed me, high on the drama and attitude. ...I was shocked that Nicolle Wallace didn't react to him! Didn't challenge him at all. Just told him she wished his college age daughter a safe trip somewhere or something. I was floored...I've come to expect her to be a lot better than that, it's her job to push back, at least question people. Wtf? Same guy comes on this morning and the gang, starting with MIKA of all freaking people, and ending with Elise I think, all give him tough but fair questions, even followed up on a couple of things he said. And this time the guy wasn't nearly as snotty/brash, and he was dancing a lot faster as the heat was turned up. I had thought he must be scary or something when NW was so mousy and such a doormat with him but all it took was them being unwilling to take it. I mean again freaking MIKA of all people took the reins here! I haven't been so impressed in years! Mika and MJ, good job. And I guess as a viewer I shouldn't have to be so grateful to see the fourth estate doing its job but in a world where MJ can be lacking, glad they decided to show up and pay attention today.

I'm pretty sure it's Nicolle Wallace he likes, he acts like such a buffoon around her 🙄 Never been a Heileman fan. LOL Kemper, I thought you said he was checking MIKA out. I just went back to your comment and realized you said he WAS check out. Oh good grief 😂

It's not even been a week and I hope some of these anchors are getting their footing back and getting over their shock. I know it's early days...but still, I've found some surprises. I admire anchors and journalists who don't let powerful guests get away with things and run rampant. Ali Velshi had been perfect, didn't miss a beat, he's as good as ever. And you know who I've been amazed by? Katy Tur. Tur hasn't been letting ANYONE get away with ANYTHING, she's going hard on everyone; I always thought she was excellent but but I've been just floored by her this week. I've found Rachel and Alex to both do well, as I expected. Nicolle is typically snarky and funny, she's one of my favorites normally. Oof though, she was drained of her spark this week. International news could be out of her wheelhouse, that's fair. But worse, today she had on a slimy politician who was doing a bad job looking like he was acting out a part, and all I could think was how *cowardly* NW seemed around him. Absolutely smh. She got better back in her comfort zone with Lawrence Tribe, on afterwards. Stephanie Ruhle seems the same. She's mostly interviewing family of kidnapped Israelis and sharing their stories. Maybe some are finding their equilibrium and will gear up and do better. I hope so. In the mean time, I may switch my daily show to Katy's hour.

I side-eyed that guy years before trump with his after-midnight commercials of him screeching "IT TOOK ME TWO YEARS TO INVENT THIS PILLOW!" I've been really over MJ lately.
