Mika danced all around Trump's Putin-love during the hour I saw, listing the unlikely reasons and asking others for their thoughts as to a reason so they could take the bullet. No one would bite, so finally she said (paraphrasing here) "Well, I'm just going to say it. Might it be financial?" Leaving her repeated questions hanging there unanswered would add to her reputation as a nitwit and LMAO, at this stage of her, uh, career she made like a rookie and painted herself into a corner. I mostly like Elise Jordan except sometimes she sounds like Casey Anthony. She called something "obvioush obshtructionism" this morning and followed that with "overshight." Gah.

He is no Tim Russert. But then, who is?

On various MSNBC programs today re Trump's "What, you think our county's so innocent?" (Ret. US Army) General Barry McCaffrey is "incredulous" and says that equating Putin's reputation with ours is "the most anti-American statement ever made by a US president."

Melissa McCarthy portraying Sean Spicer in the ill-fitting suit on SNL? A must-see! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2017/02/05/melissa-mccarthy-was-the-perfect-choice-to-play-white-houses-sean-spicer-on-snl/?utm_term=.feddef9fc2de

So tonight on CNN one of the female British hosts voiced over a video of President Chaos and the Second Lady (Melania) at Mar-A-Lago and then intro'd a reporter in Pennsylvania to add something. But with her British accent and rather rapid speech what I heard was Transylvania. Laffed my ass off. BTW the video highlighted M's pussy profile to its best advantage. (In a deep pink/fuschia floor-length sheath dress gown.)

Kellyann/Kellyanne/whatever with Chris Matthews this evening and she looks like 40 miles of bad road. Her wonky eye has gotten so pronounced that they filmed her in 3/4 profile. This job is getting to her. Sell your soul and lose your face = yay!

He is a renaissance man, a sage, a man for the ages. We are so lucky to have him all for ourselves. Was packing a suitcase, didn't see who it was, someone male asked what does it mean that Trump takes pleasure in demeaning people such as Chuck Schumer, bringing him to tears. Mr and Mrs Blowhard feigned interest in the question. She said "Yeah, well ..." and he said "I don't know" and they went to commercial. It's called malignant narcissism, you assholes. It's hard to recall a recent morning when they were so full of themselves, and it's obvious that Mr Blow had a pleasurable night with his girlfriend (Trump). I hate this shitfest with the heat of a thousand suns. As I type this I am watching Ted Cruz nattering in favor of Gorsuch. While I sing "What A Wonderful World."

Sean Spicer on MSNBC now, with chyron - White House: Immigration Order "not a ban" despite Trump saying otherwise. Kristen Welker asked about Trump tweeting yesterday that it IS a ban. Spicer said that term came from media, KW pushed back, Spicer deflected yet again.

Slippers and rolled up socks are what I use. Every. Morning.

At 6:07 he sniped at Mika with "Will You Let Me Finish? This Is Important." She caved, of course, and by 6:24 her white scarf had disappeared under her buttoned cardigan; by 6:31, the cardigan was unbuttoned. I'm beginning to think the scarf, or lack thereof, is a signal to whoever doles out her meds.

The Monday morning following this weekend's immigration ban: "We met with the president yesterday." Are you fucking kidding, assholes? And who, pray tell, is the "31-year-old, low level staffer?"

Gah, the way he deflected and diverted and got louder and louder and puffed his chest was nauseating. And what the fuck is that thing he does with words ending in an "o" sound? Go, blow, Joe, so - any words ending like that get an almost w-sounding finish. I remember our junior high cheerleaders using that affectation; it bugged the shit out of me then and it still does, and FFS he's an adult. And IIRC someone at the table squeaked out "You're not answering the question," which is when he got really loud. IIRC.

Oakville, I think Mika is onto us. Only one scarf this week, and it was tied so she couldn't fuss with it.

Sean Spicer, and Steve Mnuchin. Let's investigate!

From the shallow end of the pool: Because her hair is so short and she mostly wears clothing without collars, she uses the scarves to conceal the wire connecting her earpiece to the battery pack (or whatever it's called) on her back. Somehow, neurotic twit that she is, she came to see a dangling scarf as her signature look. It also provides a strong visual aid as she constantly checks her posture in the monitors. I really enjoy the mornings when she can't tame the damn things and fusses and fiddles with them ad nauseam, trying to trap them under her wrists until they hang "just so." I began noticing this when someone (Oakville?) suggested watching no one except her and the show has been infinitely more enjoyable for me since then.

I cannot wait to see how Oakville characterizes this morning's scarf.

Saw an abbreviated edition in my area, an hour later than usual and only an hour long. Just happened across it, as it wasn't listed in Directv guide. Tits LaRue was in dark wash jeans and an eggplant turtleneck. I think she was wearing a new sweater bra (perhaps a Christmas gift from the SO). He was in navy fleece and sounded confident that she had enjoyed the holiday.

This never fails to give me the chills. Thank you for posting it.

Reminds me of LBJ's "Better to have 'em inside the tent pissin' out instead of outside the tent pissin' in."

The first couple minutes, in the behind-the-desk opening, I thought they were wearing flannel shirts (with the obligatory scarf on her part, of course). Then she cocked her hip so that one leg was visible and I was like "Daaaamn, she's wearing pajamas?!?" And then, the next shot, leg crossed in her direction, I sees that HE IS ALSO in pajamas. And it only got worse (Mom and Dad in their jammies in front of the fireplace). So postured, so calculated, these two ... (So, did they knock off a piece before or after the show? Or both?)

The insistence on having at least one of The Four present at all times has me believing that they know what Nancy Reagan knew: Their Guy has dementia and must be carefully watched (over) at all times. This one also appears to have ADD or ADHD and appears not to evaluate or retain new information very well unless The Four spit it back up for him, carefully chewed and ready for digestion. I think we will see at least one of The Four (Donald Jr, Eric, Ivanka, Jared) with him during every hour of every day and this will not change for any reason, no matter how loud or fervent the criticism. I think he is scared shitless (even with, and perhaps because of, his various incapacities) and so are they.
