    Joe said Donald Trump's whole life is explained by the fact that he is an "outer burroughs guy."   Joe is full of crap.  Plenty of people work their way up and are not defined by geography. 

    Joe got that from Donny, who has said it a number of times on the show and is also an outer boroughs guy. As outer borough born and bred, it’s insulting to have Trump’s psychopathy laid at the feet  of an accident of birth. It also demonstrates the Manhattan media elite thinking Joe is always decrying. Joe, a hypocrite?  Hm.

    Well actually she is above everyone but the Capt. I don't see anyone else with three stripes.

    All the male crew on this boat are misogynistic assholes. 

    Yes Kate is a little extra bitchy this season but there is a hierarchy on boats that none of these boys seem to be aware of and they're very disrespectful of her....

    If Ashton had three stripes, we’d constantly hear about how the stripes should be respected. It’s so awfully misogynistic this season it gives me a stomach ache to watch. And I watch to escape, not be made ill!

  3. I am not enjoying this season and this episode only reinforced that for me. I miss the old show that had a story which the characters never seemed to take too seriously. 
     

    I’ve always been interested in the core characters on this show. It’s what drew me back. But the dumb sped up action sequences and the ongoing angst have taken a toll.  It’s not a show I want to watch anymore. And that seems sad yet inevitable after this half season.

    Why does Mika think everything wealthy people do is a huge sacrifice?   

    Heck, Mika thinks getting out of bed and stumbling to the bunker to do the show is a sacrifice. Her friends that actually work are making the ultimate sacrifice.

    Did they have Katherine leave Theo just to make us not like her or root for her a lot more than we do the others? 

    Yes. Nash said in a post premiere TV Line interview that he wanted to generate sympathy for Eddie.

    The first thing I looked for were those awful frayed jeans and tennies she wore the last time they flew her out to Iowa.  With all the money these two make ya think they would invest in a good stylist but then again silly me like these two take any type of direction.

    Joe once told an interviewer that he is Mika’s stylist...back before they were married and trying to explain why they were always together. 
     

    I watched for the first time in months today and was surprised by how centered it is on Joe and Mika. There are few discussions; monologues by Joe have replaced them. Mika’s role has been diminished even more. She is no co-host; she’s barely a sidekick. Some of you have mentioned the stares and leaning. It’s just hard to watch.  If that’s their A game, they’ve really slipped.

    Joe used to brag that Valerie Jarret watched Morning Joe.

    Donnie is demanding that Democrats stop talking  about single payer healthcare. He wants them to focus on Trump.

    Donnie needs to STFU.  Ever since he predicted a 48 state loss if Elizabeth Warren is the nominee I cannot look at him. Wealthy people like Donnie and Joe are terrified of her. Donnie is another reason I no longer watch. When did Mr. Buys Mika Louboutins  become a political pundit? I blame Joe.

    When Mika came back yesterday and said she was on vacation mountain climbing and Joe said he was off for a few days vacation somewhere else, my only immediate thought was - They need to take separate vacations from each other?  That was pretty quick. 

    Oakville would know better, but I believe that there’s tension between Mika’s daughters and Joe, so she tends to spend time with them without him. Her daughters did not attend the wedding ceremony but did come after for photos.

  9. CJR has a story on Halperin that mentions the Scarboroughs’ ongoing support for Halperin right up front. So, both the online only show Joe & Mika were going to do with Halperin and the segment Mika did on him were done without the knowledge of the MSNBC brass? How have they accumulated such power? I realize we ask this regularly, but it’s really amazing how much they get away with on the network.

    Oh god, more blathering about Killimanjaro and how hard it was.   And more "ahhhing" and giggling.  And that high squealy thing she does.    And it's only 6:04.  

    It's gonna be a long morning.

    You have greater patience than I. After the squealing I was out. Doesn’t bode well for the sound effects she’ll provide for the rest of the show.

  11. Apparently, when Oliver Darcy, CNN’s media reporter, asked the networks if Halperin was welcome, CNN and ABC said no, while MSNBC ... declined to comment. That countdown clock ticking to his reappearance on Morning Joe just got louder.

    By the way, Darcy also spoke to one of Halperin’s accusers. She says he never reached out to apologize. 

    Update: MSNBC got back to Darcy and said Halperin won’t be on the network. Do you think they had to clear their statement with Joe and Mika first?

  12. I don’t watch the show much anymore but did watch today to see if there was any updates on the massacres. Mika is a disaster. I don’t understand why she thinks commenting as other people speak is appropriate or acceptable. She twice said something while Beto was speaking and he stopped then started again. Awkward.

    Morning Joe is not a news show. It’s Regis and Kathie Lee reborn, with Mika doing the mugging for the cameras. Maddeningly, she’s doing it during discussions of national tragedies. (No insult meant to Regis or Kathie Lee.)

    It's a tough show to watch & recap.

    I think some of the show will be pre empted tomorrow with coverage of Robert Mueller's testimony.

    NBC has refused to allow Mika & Joe to be the sole anchor's on the Mueller testimony.

    It’s something I ponder - why is Joe, a former Congressman, never used as a commenter when there are Congressional hearings? Personally I’d rather listen to David Jolly, but hasn’t Joe told us he’s personally responsible for all that is good in Congress?  And isn’t Mika the one that taught Pelosi to KYV? Just weird they wouldn’t anchor the  hearings...

    Tuesday Recap.

    Mika & Joe are still in the bunker. Joe finally changed his shirt after viewer complaints.

    Joe is mad at the GOP for the budget deal. The deficit is 1 trillion in good economic times.

    Joe said Trump is spending too much money.

    Joe complained about the tax cut which helped Billionaires.

    Karine Jean Pierre is upset that Trump got a pass till after the election.

    Joe said he was a hero when he got elected to Congress. He balanced the budget 4 years in a row.

    Oakville, thank you for watching every day so I don’t have to.

    She should show some respect for her friend  VP Joe Biden. The late Dr Z would be furious if he

    saw her dressed that way for an interview. Joe used to dress like a slob for several years with jeans & fleece. Mika finally convinced him to wear suits when they went public as a couple.

    I thought that she looked unprofessional.  I think of the “road warriors” who follow the various candidates on the campaign trail and every one of them looks more professional. 

    Interesting to me that Mika has interviewed both Pelosi and Biden and neither interview made news. That would seem to be a major fail for a news anchor, no?

    Joe is getting mad at Democrats that won't listen to him. Joe is going on about how he predicted Trump would win.

    Joe predicted Trump would win because he was sucking up to Trump, whose winning he facilitated every single day. As he did then, and as he does now, he bashed Clinton at every opportunity, and predicting a Trump win was another kudgel.

    Interesting how he never mentions his role in getting Trump elected and all the free airtime and softball questions he offered him. Did I miss his acknowledging that today?

    When has Joe ever sucked up to anyone on that show? 

    2016 and part of 2017. Donald Trump. Joe sucked up to him daily. Mika did as well - remember when she promised not to ask him a hard question and it was caught on a hot mic? Or their visit to Trump Tower during the transition? Or to Mar-A-Lago on New Year’s Eve?  They sucked up until Trump attacked Mika. And Mika continues to suck up to Ivanka.

    As has been said, sucking up to political types is what they do unless they are trying to impress that person with how smart they are. Then Joe doesn’t shut up and Mika makes guttural noises while he talks.   

    They are major suck ups.

    Joe said the Democrats were foolish to not take on the base of the party.

    Did he discuss how the Republicans never take on their base but rather play right to them, or how he encouraged Trump to focus on the base?

  19. Does Joe actually refer to the show as  “The Morning Joe Sound Machine” these days? In the ad for the show during the Dem debate that’s what he calls it, so I ‘m kind of confused. Does he see everyone as backup to his lead? (Yes, I get the reference to the Miami Sound Machine, but it seems weird.)
