Joe said that he would never accept meetings with the Kremlin when he was running for Congress in Pensacola. Mika & Joe bragged about the tough questions they asked Trump about Putin. ! For the record, I never recall Papadopoulos being mentioned on Morning Joe. Joe used to brag about knowing all the top people in the Trump campaign. They keep showing the dark photo of papa in the meeting with Trump.

Heidi said that the tweet storm stopped after Papadopoulos was convicted. He is co operating with officials. Trump tweet storms are now like weather events. Joe is trying to impress the panel with his legal knowledge.

Tuesday Recap. Mika is wearing a new dark grey top which looks fabulous. Joe is wearing a suit. Special guests are Heidi in the Library & Boring Barnicle. Joe is crowing about Mueller's indictments. They showed a picture of Papadopoulos, the evil mastermind who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. Joe showed a photo of him in a meeting to see how close he was to Trump in he meeting, so Trump must have known what was going on. Sort of like showing photos of Mika & Joe sitting next to Halperin for 7 years & not knowing that he was sexually assaulting & harassing co workers. Mika was in a good mood & wished everyone a Happy Halloween. She said Boo! Jeremy bash said that the Professor was part of the Russian intelligence. Willie said the Russians found a mark & wanted to infiltrate the campaign.

I think this is very sad news. I feel bad for the kids. This show is bad for marriages. Vicki,Tamra,Kelly & Shannon are going or have gone through separations on this show. I hope they have an amical separation for the sake of the kids.

Wow! that was quick & a good move by NBC.

Richard Haas & Wendy Sherman are on the set. Haas came on to discuss Brexit. Everyone is worried about the consequences. Wendy that the referendum was not democratic. Joe said he was in important meetings when he was in the UK in the summer. They told Joe that Trump would eventually leave the White House but the Brexit was a serious long term problem. Haas is happy about Macron doing better in the polls. He is close to 40% support. As usual. Joe forgets that he was touting Macron as a political popular savior for France & would be as powerful as Napolean or De Gaulle. Joe has no clue what he is talking about when when it comes to talking about European politics. He has no clue about Catalan. Wendy is excited about President Xi. He named himself in the constitution. Poverty is down in China. Haas said the economy is slowing in China. That was a smackdown to Wendy! Wendy reads the Economist. She just parroted the contents of that article.

Joe said Trump's support is between 32-38%. Joe is mocking Fox News for focusing on the Clinton scandals. Joe bragged about his Delorean. Mika is making hand gestures about the De Lorean doors coming down. Trump's support down to 38%. They are talking about Faulkner? Meecham mocked Mika's college, Williams. Mika is not happy about this. Joe said he litigated the Clinton scandals. Joe said it's the reason Hillary won?. Joe said he was right about the election. Joe's hair is wild today. It must be windy in the studio. Meecham said Twitter gives Trump supporters a megaphone to overstate their support. Meecham said twitter was not around in Nixon's day.

Monday Recap. I am surprised that Mika is in the studio with Joe. Mika is wearing a dark navy top. Katty & Ford Jr & Secret Agent Clint are on the panel. Mika is giddy that Mueller will file charges today. Joe bashed the WSJ for complaining about Mueller's objectivity & criticizing Hillary Clinton. Joe said these charges could lead to impeachment. Joe is happy that charges filed in NY state cannot be pardoned by Trump. Joe liked the baseball game last night 13-12 for the Astros. Mika started groaning. Katty said Trump's phone caught fire with all the tweets. Joe said Trump won't be indicted today. Joe said the meeting in NY at Trump Jr's office was a big deal. Joe said he never met with the Soviets during his time as a Congressmen from Pensacola. Joe likes Mueller. Joe said his sources said the indictment will be close to President Trump.

I can't take Joe seriously any more. He lashes out at Harvey Weinstein & his enablers in the media yet hides behind Mika when one of his close "friends" , Halperin is harassing & sexually assaulting women as late as 2011 when he was a Morning Joe regular. Joe enabled Trump for ratings & turned a blind eye to Halperin. It appears that it was an "open secret" about Halperin , so "always in the know" Joe can't play dumb. On Friday's show he complained about the GOP tax plan after spending all of his political life complaining about high tax rates. Now he acknowledges that high tax rates are OK. Joe will probably start off the show bragging about Mueller's indictments & Trump's low poll numbers. According to Joe, polls taken 3 years before an election are "big news". Mika will probably be off prepping for "knowing her value" show.

The show does encourage me to rewatch the West Wing

I suggest that you read Mika's first book, "All Things at Once". Mika was desperate for work in 2007. She had turned 40. She begged MSNBC to let her come back & do 2 minute updates between shows. This job did not pay her very much but kept her on the air. Imus got fired for making racist comments about African American female basketball team. Joe was auditioning for the morning show replacement & chased after Mika. I do wonder what would have happened to Mika if she had resisted Joe's romantic advances . Wow! That is absurd. I am pretty sure he was in a long term relationship with Karen at that time. He was also appearing on Morning Joe on a regular basis in 2011.

Good points! Do you think that donations to the Clinton Foundation will fall since Hillary is no longer seeking elected office? I wonder if Chelsea will run for Congress in 2018? her mom & ad could still help her win a seat in NY.

Was Buchanan ever elected to any political office? I don't condone his views but what Halperin did is criminal. Why hasn't anyone at ABC News been held accountable for Halperin's reckless behavior. Were there no HR reps at ABC? Why was Halperin allowed to do this at ABC without consequences? In Canada, you can't rub your genitalia against co workers. It is considered to be sexual assault.

I just saw the Chris Christie interview. It was very informative. The opiod addiction is scary. Christie said the Dr's have been less lenient about prescribing Opiods. Christie shot down Joe & his Poll about how unpopular his handling of Hurricane Sandy was. Christie told Joe that the pollster admitted that the poll was unscientific. Mika got mad when Christies & Joe were talking about baseball. She called it Mumbo Jumbo. Boo Mika!. I love baseball talk. It's better than all her "Know Your Value" junk. She is becoming the worst advocate for this type of feminism. Buchanan was ahead of time in predicting the rise of Trumpian ideas. Buchanan destabilized Bush in 1992 by winning 40% of the vote in NH primary. I think there are similarities to Perot & Trump. Trump was able to keep enough of the GOP base + low morale among Democrats for Hillary contributed to his election. I would not be shocked if people come after Donnie Deutsh. He ran an advertising agency. He said he always had good relationships with women.

This is a good point. I remember when Pat Buchanan, who was a Morning Joe panelist was fired by MSNBC for making politically incorrect statements in his book. Mika & Joe announced that they disagreed with the decision but that supported their friend. Obviously, Halperin's behavior hurt many women , so that is much worse. The problem once again is that Mika & Joe went overboard in attacking everyone that had a business relationship with Weinstein, & his behavior affected their own business relationship , so they pounced on him. If Mika & Joe admitted that they knew about Halperin's behavior before he became a Morning Joe regular, they would be in big trouble.

I think it is outrageous that Joe, Willie, Barnicle & Donnie Deutsh refused to condemn Halperin or appear on camera when Mika was giving her statement this morning. Mika got stuck giving the wishy washy "our friend" commentary. How come Big Mouth Joe started ranting at Harvey Weinstein after Mika's book deal was in trouble a few weeks ago. Joe bragged that he spent the weekend talking to Hollywood Insiders about Weinstein & that he found out about all the sexual harassment. It is highly unlikely that Joe had no clue about Halperin's behavior at ABC. Joe always brags about having insider information from key "influencers & world leaders" It seems that Halperin wasn't able to harass women at NBC or Bloomberg which is good news.

I prefer the FBI show. The President Kirkland show is boring. it's too simplistic. The show does a good job of copying the West Wing walk & talk down a hallway. I am looking forward to Block of Cheese episode. The First Lady should lose her law license.

I will have to find the clip of Joe defending Bill Cosby in 2014 & complaining about the women who were accusing him of rape. It might be on Mediaite.com

The baseball talk is distracting . The JFK discussion was superficial. The tax talk was a h0t mess. Why does Joe get to hide during Mika's speech? Its very telling that Joe keeps quiet during this story. I like Heidi. She is pleasant. Joe likes bashing the Clintons since he no longer has to attend the Clinton Global Iniative events. I guess the foundation has closed down ?

You are right. I am surprised how much her demeanor changed from yesterday when it was unnamed sources from decades ago.

Joe is on a tirade against the plan not to allow state & local deductions. Joe said business will suffer. Joe is so mixed up about taxes that he doesn't really know what he is talking about. Joe is mocking Trump for bone spurs. Joe didn't serve either, so he should shut up about mocking others. Heidi likes corporate tax cuts. Mika & Joe hope that Trump can't pass any legislation. Joe admitted that he can't blame Trump for everything. Joe bashed Obama for not passing any major legislation after losing control of Congress. LOL! Mika called Trump a Democrat. They made fun of the GOP surrendering to Trump.

Weepy Mika at 6 18. am. They called Mark their friend, but Mika spoke to the women who were harassed & assaulted by Halperin & she now believes them. They fully support NBC's decision to remove Halperin from the show. Mika said she won't avoid covering the story. While I find it nice that Mika made the announcement, I would have liked to see Joe & Donnie Deutsh comment on this story. They made sure to focus the camera on Mika. The news reports about Donnie's behavior with women over the years is pretty sketchy. I will never forget the Morning Joe promo with him waking up in bed with Mika. Donnie bragged that he went to Wharton like Trump. Heidi does not like tax cuts. It won't help the economy. Joe wants to close loopholes. Joe is mad about the debt. The economy is doing well & the elites are happy, so why cut taxes for lower income people. Joe said his staff might ask for raises. He is worried about inflation.

Joe is now bragging that he led the charge against Trump in Dec 2015 over the muslim ban... Joe is mad at Gillespie for talking about preserving Confederate Statues. Joe used to like him when he was a policy wonk for Bush.

Friday Recap. Mika is wearing a white top. Joe is sitting next to her. The first topic was the JFK files. Mika mocked Trump for saying Ted Cruz's dad was involved in the conspiracy. Joe says that Oswald acted alone. Heidi wanted to know why JFK fell forward not backward. Joe is mad that the Yankees fired Girardi. He would be good for the Nationals. Eugene agrees. The Elephant in the room has not been addressed as of 6 13 am They are making fun of Tillerson want to crouch in a big ball. The panel is acting like it's a holiday week. Donnie says that Trump likes conspiracies. The panel is mad that Ted Cruz won't challenge Trump. That's the one! Look for the photos of Dr Z playing chess with President Carter. There is also a room with Joe's band equipment. One day this home will be known as the Graceland of Joe's music career explodes.

Mika must be outraged that a second woman has come forward to complain about Halperin sexually assaulting her. https://www.mediaite.com/online/former-abc-researcher-accuses-mark-halperin-of-forcing-her-to-sit-on-his-lap-with-an-erection/ Poor Mika. She will now have to defend Halperin against CNN's Mary Katherin Ham who backed up Miller's story. https://www.thedailybeast.com/two-more-women-accuse-mark-halperin-of-sexual-misconduct
