I wonder if Joe will be reprimanded for calling out Saturday Night Live for not mentioning the Harvey Weinstein scandal. Lorne Michaels did say after the show that Weinstein was not mentioned because he was from NY.

Joe was upset that the Red Sox wouldn't let him & Mika sit in the dugout with the other players this year. In 2013, Mika & Joe did a show at Fenway Park during the playoffs & they interviewed players & coaches during the show. They also got a tour of the scoreboard area. The Red Sox won the World Series that year & the coaches & players thanked Joe for the coaching tips he gave them. Joe told the pitchers when to throw curve balls & the hitters when to shorten their swing. Ratner mentioned that he was upset that Corker beat Harold Ford Jr in the Senate race in 2006 by using the sleazy ad of Ford Jr attending the Playboy mansion.

I haven't seen that part of the show yet, but I suspect they might be going to the baseball game in Boston this afternoon.

I could not have said this better myself. Mika is on her high horse today about Weinstein, yet on Friday she was pretty quiet about it. The NY Times released the article on Thursday, so she had enough time by 6 am on Friday to react. It's hilarous to watch Joe cal out the Obamas, Clintons for not speaking about about Harvey. If Harvey was so bad, why did Mika sign the book deal with him in July? Mika wanted to capitalize on her feud with Trump after he said she had a facelift at Mar A Largo in Dec 2016.

I don't understand how Nick can get stoned, kill a walker, put blood on his face & Troy's face & wander through a horde of walkers without getting bitten. Why did Madison not care about Alicia & Nick leaving her? What is Strand trying to trade with the Proctor? Weapons from the Ranch? I find Nick to be very annoying again. I am sad that Ophelia couldn't say goodbye to Daniel. I find it ludicrous that Alicia thinks she can survive on her own, when she could barely avoid getting killed in a box full of toy balls. On the TWD, if you started talking while walking through a horde , the walkers would hear the sound and attack if even if you wearing a bloody shirt. This happened in Alexandria to Rick's girlfriend. Yet, Nick is chatting with Troy while wandering through the horde. Do the Walkers not understand English?

Madison gives Ophelia Gatorade which contains Electrolytes ?

It is absurd that Nick would leave Alicia on her own. What happened to Luciana?

I am happy when Strand tells off Madison

I am so annoyed that Ophelia has been bit.

Kudos to Mika!. She has won her battle against the Weinstein Company. They buckled under the pressure of not being able to publish her soon to be nominated Pulitzer Prize calibre novels. Harvey Weinstein has been fired from the Weinstein company. Mika's book deal can proceed!. Mika is truly the Susan B Anthony of her generation. Will this be the opening topic on Morning Joe tomorrow? Will it be Trump's attack on Senator Corker? Will Joe do a special rant on VP Pence leaving the football game? Will Joe brag about the Red Sox finally winning a post season game? Stay tuned.! ( This is my sarcastic font)

I was being sarcastic.! We still don't have a sarcasm font for posts. Once again, Mika & Joe gets too close to a powerful figure & it backfires. They were very friendly with him when he appeared on the show & were gleeful when Harvey tweeted that Mika was the best on TV. I suspect that re tweet will be deleted. Joe retweeted a joke about 30 Rock TV show knowing about Weinstein's behavior a few years ago, but he hasn't commented on the issue yet. This is bizarre since it affects his fiancee. I could tell that they didn't know how to handle the Weinstein scandal because they waited until 8:56 a.m. to discuss it when they had Nick Confessore from the NY Times on the show from 6 am & waited till the show was almost over to discuss it. The Mika "Know Your Value" brand would be damaged by being associated with Harvey Weinstein publishing the book. I did read the Rebecca Traister article. Thanks!. It seems that the Weinstein model was to buy off media personalities with contracts or settlements , so they wouldn't disclose what they knew about him.

I would have liked FTWD to focus more on Surviving in the ZA. It was an exciting premise of Survivalist Ranchers trying to control the border & dealing with Indian Reservations. It would have been interesting to see two groups trying different ways to survive. There was a scene of Walker's Group trying to find water with rods etc. Unfortunately, it was too brief. Now, Madison will find a way to blow up the dam & destroy a source of drinking water for thousands of survivors.

Mika is demanding that Weinstein resign!. She is willing to accept the financial consequences of not proceeding with her book deal. Kudos to Mika! https://www.mediaite.com/online/mika-brzezinski-i-cant-go-forward-with-book-deal-unless-harvey-weinstein-resigns/

I am convinced that they don't have a proper guest booker anymore. Joe was asking for a clip montage today of Trump saying stupid things & it wasn't ready. The show's quality is suffering because the panelists keep repeating themselves. They have also given up on doing almost any non political stories. In the "good ole days" they have a longer segment discussing economics or dealing with kids on facebook, or Syria etc. Why don't they have someone from Puerto Rico come on to discuss the economic & political issues that make it more difficult for the island to recover. They basically waste too much time on the dumb things Trump does like throwing paper towels at people. I noticed that Moyahadin is on Early Morning Pre Joe. Why can't he stick around and talk about the Middle East? It's as if Syria,Libya & Iraq have no problems anymore. I understand that NBC is hyped up about MoronGate, but I am sure people insult each other behind their backs in Washington all the time. They probably call Trump worse in private. I remember how Joe would go bonkers when he found out that some random Democratic Senator or Congressmen have never been invited to the White House for dinner & Joe would blast Obama as a loner who was anti social. Trump is having almost daily dinners at the White House. Is that better?

Shockingly, at 8:56 am, Joe brought up the front page article in the NY Times about Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment allegations. Donnie said that he was a good friend of Harvey & that this was an open secret in Hollywood. It was so open that no one mentioned it, icluding Donnie. Nick Confessore who was on the show since 6 am , was only allowed to discuss it quickly at 8:56 am. It's pretty ridiculous that Mika "Know Your Value" didn't bother bringing up the topic herself. Harvey is a big fan of Morning Joe & had tweeted in April 2017 that Mika was the "best" on TV. At first, Joe tried to pretend that he had no clue who Harvey was by saying " an important Hollywood figure". He has been a guest on the show several times, Joe! Donnie said the culture in business is changing from the 1960's & that Harvey grew up in that era. So that makes it OK? Donnie then blamed Trump for the Access Hollywood tape which he said was a bad sign for women's rights.

Friday Recap: Mika & Joe are back together in studio!. Donnie Deutsh is wearing a suit that is too big for him. Heidi Prysbala joins the set . The top news was the continuing MoronGate. NBC stands by the earth shattering comments made by Tillerson. This is the first time i the history of the Republic that a cabinet member has disparaged a sitting President. Tillerson is staying in the cabinet as a suicide pact according to Donie. Donnie said that Trump was running a mom & pop store compare to Tillerson. Mika is wearing a grey top with a Black cardigan. The Librarian wear is back. Everyone on the panel was worried about Trump saying "The Calm before the Storm" Is Trump planning military action against North Korea? Is he bluffing. Trump has a fetish with CEO's & Generals. Heidi said that all CEO's behave & get along. Luckily she never met CEO of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein:) Donnie promised not to diagnose Trump. Trump & Tillerson are tired of diplomacy in North Korea. The Koreans don't want to negotiate. They showed a poll of 53% of people being optimistic about the economy. joe said a rising stock market is good for people that own stocks. The wrong track poll is 64% negative. That is bad & up since January. Donnie said some of his NY friends voted for Trump because the taxes would be lower & the economy would be stronger than under Hillary Clinton. Donnie said that some of his Trump supporting friends are discouraged by Trump's behavior & they won't support him again. Donnie makes me laugh. Manhattan voted 90% for Hillary. It's unlikely to switch to Trump. Joe went into a rant that hillary was the worst Democratic nominee & so unpopular that she lost to Trump. Joe said it was a referendum on Hillary. Joe Biden got the Dr Z award & told a story about telling Putin that he has no soul. Dr Z stepped outside the box & did not support the Washington Consensus on Foreign Policy. Mika said that Trump was an embarrassement to the Presidency. Donnie likes Pence because he s more empathic than Trump. Donnie wants Pence to visit the worst hit areas of Puerto rico. Donnie has friends who chartered jets to pick up people in Puerto Rico. Heidi & the other panelists mocked Trump for not sending his jet to Puerto Rico & not donating more money to Puerto Rico. Joe said that Mika would do an event for Puerto Rico. Will Joe & Mika charter a jet for Puerto Rico? Nick Confessore said Washington is full of suck ups. Everyone hates that Trump has cabinet members suck up to him in public. Joe trashed Obama for supporting the Iran Deal. Iran got billions in cash up front without having to do anything. Now they have to comply with limits on centerfuge. Joe now supports the Iran deal because the USA gave up all the cash upfront. Joe said Obama should not front load incentives for Iran. Joe disapeared for Senator Amy Klobashar interview. He was mad at her last week for trying to debate Medicare for all with Bernie.

That was very strange. Did Lydia & Doug ever film a scene going to church the first season that she was on the show? Alexis always used to film scenes at a mega church

I think Vicki should leave the show. It's tiring to watch her. She should focus on Briana & the grandkids.

I think they might want to stay together for the kids. I felt bad for the kids having their dad attack Shannon at Easter. David is clearly fed up with Shannon. However, I would not have taken a shot at Shannon with the Silver Spoon comment

I would be surprised if Mika & Joe will show up tomorrow. Joe is angry about the mighty Red Sox getting blown out 8-2 today. Furthermore, friend of the show, Harvey Weinstein is facing a sexual harassment allegations from several Hollywood actresses. I think Mika & Joe will stay with the show until 2020. If Trump gets re elected, they will quit. I would like to have Mika & Joe in separate Bunkers. There is no question that the flow of the show is disrupted when one is in an undisclosed studio. I think Posh Katty is being extra friendly to Joe lately. She always agrees with whatever he says. Could Katty be a replacement for Mika when she is off.?

I think the lady with the wild hair is related to Anand Giridharadas who is also a guest on Morning Joe. Dr Z did not get along with Cyrus Vance and enciuraged him to quit the Carter administration after the Iran hostage rescue fiasco.

Yes! It was Sam. He was annoyed when he found out that she was hired. That show is a welcome balm for today's political climate.

I understand your concerns. I think they are "coasting" after a big election year. In the past, the show was weaker during non election years. Joe in a Bunker is a relatively new addition to the show.

This show makes me want to dig out my West Wing DVD's from the basement. I could send the writers of Designated Survivor episode summaries so they could get more ideas. IIRC Ainsley was hired because she made a fool of Josh on a Sunday talk show. I wonder if Seth has gained weight since last season or caught a bad cold.? His face looks bloated & he sounds congested with flem when he speaks. The WHCD jokes were lame.

I remember that scam! Ivanka was hiding behind her dad back then. The Trump Hotel in Toronto went bankrupt when they tried the same phony rental revenue projections. I was mesmerized by Andrea's hair so I didn't pay attention too much to what she was saying. Mika does deserve some time off, but the show gets very uneven when Joe is yelling at people from his bunker. They should let Willie & a female co host do the show in the studio.
