  1. I wonder if NBC will issue a formal apology for allowing Morning Joe guest , Chuck Todd to air his video about African American murderers after an incident where a white supremacist killed 9 African Americans in a church.? MSNBC & NBC have to get their priorities straight. Giving air time to Donald Trump after he attacks Mexicans & tries to rehabilitate Brian Williams's after his actions in February.

    http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/wtf-nbcs-chuck-todd-airs-color-blind-segment-with-all-black-shooters-to-address-charleston-massacre/.

    I am baffled how it was relevant to focus on African American criminals when the killer was a young white man .?

  2. "Why in all that is holy, is this show sucking up to Trump? Are they forced to because they are part of NBC? What a joke. Rumor has it that Trump hired extras for his hateful screed of an announcement.

    And how disgusting that the show couldn't manage to stay live in the aftermath of the mass-shooting in Charleston. They really disrespect their audience"

    I am surprise why Morning Joe didn't delay showing the Trump interview. It was inappropriate given the massacre events in Charleston. I watched the interview & they let off Trump easily. Is it because his show airs on NBC? They didn't ask him about his comments about Mexican rapists or his campaign to prove that Obama was not born in the USA.

    Mika & Joe seem to be happy that Brian Williams will be joining MSNBC.

  3. We just watched an episode where there was a big fight between Kelli & Bethenny. I am shocked that Kelli told off Bethenny at the pub, saying she was here & Bethenny was below her. Wow!. Kelli was very rude to Jill's daughter at the charity meeting. Telling her that arthritis was cute was ridiculous. Why would she even show up to a meeting about organizing a charity event if she didn't want to help? I am not a fan of Kelli. She seems to be snobby. I am also puzzled why Jill let Brad? decorate her apartment without her input. It looks very tacky .

  4. "I always thought that Alex and Simon got a raw deal when it came to how the show portrayed their kids. These were extremely young kids that had been kept up 6 hours past their bed time while filming that scene. I remember reading that the scene itself took about 8 hours to film and started in the evening - everyone was exhausted especially the kids who were simply not used to being up so late. Not only that, the producers wouldn't let any of them leave until the film was in the can"

    Thanks for the information. I didn't realize the kids were kept up so late. On the other hand, it looked like Alex Simon didn't try to calm down the kids.

    We just watched an episode where Jill Zarin visits Alex & Simon's home under renovation. She is shocked that they are living in a dangerous construction site. I was worried the kids would get hurt.

  5. We started watching Season 2. The girls are arguing with each other. Alex & Simon crack me up. I love them bragging about their kiddie pool in their backyard in Brooklyn while the clip before showed Ramona & Mario's Olympic sized pool in the Hamptons. Do they realize how pretentious they are? They told Luann they were writing a book on raising kids in NYC. Their kids were out of control at the year end party screaming at everyone & destroying hamburgers. Francois & Johan need to get a haircut.

    Ramona was mean to Luann in front of her daughter Victoria for saying The Count was 65. Is Bethenny a comedian? She is hilarious in her talking heads. She was taking dating tips from Luann & doing Jill Zarin impersonations. This is a very easy to watch series.

  6. They were ridiculous in the most awesome way! Remember when they made eye contact with a few people at The Met? heeeee!!! Oh, the memories make me giddy! Leemonodd, si vous play

     

     

    Francois refused to speak French at the restaurant!.

     

    Ramona was outraged that Simon showed up at the girl's night out!. She is so rude but you would think that Alex would know better than to bring him along.

     

    I love the first seasons of BH& OC & NY because it is more of a documentary & less focus on catfights between the housewives over trivial issues.

     

    The House/Appt porn is awesome. !. The Countess reminds me of Heather Dubrow from OC.

  7. We just started watching this series. We are fans of OC & BH. We enjoyed the first season. Alex & Simon & their rambunctious latin speaking kids were hilarious. Those kids were out of control & the year end dinner party. The parents were such wannabees. I thought Jill & Bethenny were very sarcastic. I didn't like Jason .He refused to commit to Bethenny. I think we will keep watching the series. Time to binge watch!

  8. Are you kidding me???? If the US hadn't invaded Iraq in the first place it wouldn't have fallen apart and been unstable

     

    It was stable when they left Iraq. Obviously if they would not have invaded, Saddam or his successors would probably have been running Iraq.

     

    On today's show, Mika is very upset that she can't give shoes to her sister in law who is the wife of the Swedish ambassador.

     

    Mika said there are tough conflict of interest laws. She can't figure out why it was OK for Bill Clinton to give speeches on topics that Hilary was dealing with for 500K. Mika is upset that Bill as to answer the tough questions for her.

     

    Mika was mad at Jeremy Peters from the NY Timesfor focusing on Rubio's spending hats.

    Joe is mad that Stephanaopoulos got away with attacking the journalist who wrote the book about the Clintons but Brian Willims is losg is job over lying about his war stories.

  9. It's very sad to see Iraq fall apart after all of the efforts of the US troops & allies to make it stable..

     

    On the show they mentioned that ISIS was gaining ground in Libya.

     

    The US supported removing Gaddafi but the alternatives are worse.

     

    It's a very complicated situation because the dictators like Assad, Hussein & Gaddafi & the Ayatollahs in Iran are bad for their countries, but removing them without  keeping an eye who takes over can be  worse.

     

    Joe hasn't been clear about his position except to say what Obama is doing now isn't working.

     

    Mika called him out today because when troops were being killed in Afghanistan, Joe was mad at Obama for having a surge in Afghanistan a few years ago. He wanted the troops to come home.

     

    Now Joe supports keeping troops there to prevent the Taliban from coming back.

     

    It's messy.

  10. Joe is mad at the coverage of Rubio's personal spending habits. Ratner said its fair game & everyone wants to know why Rubio bought a pool when he had financial problems.

     

    Joe said the 450 advisors is not enough to battle ISIS. Richard Engel agrees. The surge in 2007 took thousands of troops with air support.

     

    Joe is outraged at Bill Clinton's answers about paid speeches & helping the poor with the Clinton Foundation.

     

    Joe is upset that the Clintons are worth $200M.

     

    Harold Ford said that the Clintons do not get paid from the foundation.

     

    Joe said that Jeff Sachs said that people are angry at the Clinton Foundation for not being effective in rebuilding Haiti.


    Barnicle said that Rubio may have violated the watering ban in Miami. His lawn was too green according to experts from the NY Times.

     

    Mika said Rubio's driveway is too well manicured.

  11. Joe is mad at Zucker from CNN who made fun of the show's low ratings & told him to update his resume. Joe bragged that their show gets influencers!. Yeah! we are influencers!

     

    http://www.mediaite.com/online/scarborough-fires-back-at-zucker-hes-got-an-obsession-with-morning-joe/

     

    I admit the show's topics are getting better but Joe is still obnoxious.

     

    Joe refuses to give his solutions to Iraq but blasts Obama as weak & destroying the peaceful Iraq that President Bush left him.

     

    I think that Bush's decision to ban all the Baathists from the military in 2003 was a bad move. Now, some of them are fighting for Isis.

     

    I do agree with one panelist from yesterday that said that Obama is opposed to war & is reluctant to commit troops to Iraq.

     

    It's weird that the USA still keeps troops in Japan, Germany, South Korea etc. several decades after the wars ended.

     

    Maybe, Iraq would have been better off with 10-20K US troops keeping the peace after 2009?

     

    I wonder what Dr Z thinks?. He hasn't been on the show in a while.


    Joe's hair is too puffy.

  12. Today's topics include Joe being upset with Obama's lack of strategy in Iraq with Isis. Joe had his usual rant about Iraq & Moyhadien said his solutions were too simplistic. Joe got mad then repeated Moyhadien's analysis.

     

    joe is mad at mayot deblasio for reducing stop & frisk. Crime is up in NYC & joe said the police are following the mayor's orders to step back.

     

    Joe got mad for people complaining on twitter about his focus on crime in the upper west side.

     

    Joe said no one is talking about Baltimore's high crime rate now since the police aren't shooting criminals.

     

    Any Holmes said nYC was scary in the 1970's & 1980's. Barnicle said when the police step back, people in poor neighborhoods get hurt by higher crime.

     

    Mika biq question to Nicola sturgeon was about her makeup makeover.

     

    Joe wants to bring Morning Joe to Scotland.

  13. Catching up with this week's shows. I think the show is doing a good job of interviewing all the candidates for President. It would be nice if they could get Hillary to go on for an interview. Joe made fun of Lincoln Chafee for supporting the metric system.

    Joe wants Petraus to take over the command for the war against ISIL in Iraq & Syria. Mika said he had ethical problems with giving classified documents to his mistress. Joe got mad at her for bringing up his personal problems.

    Joe is really mad at any extension of the voting rights for minorities. I think they should have more advanced polling days like we do in Canada.

    Joe is mad at Obama for his support for Palestine nationhood. He said Obama should focus on ISIL.

  14. Joe is outnumbered on the panel over the voting issue. Eugene said African Americans have to line up an extra 30 minutes to vote. They don't put enough polls in minority communities. Halperin defended Hillary. He said there should be more absentee voting.

    Joe loves Fracking . The EPA said it doesn't affect drinking water. Joe is mocking the NY Times for reporting on female Viagra rather than fracking.

  15. Joe decided to wear a green jacket today . He & Willie started joling about Golf. Joe was excited about women Viagra. Mika gave him a nasty look. Donnie Deutsh was wearing a seer sucker jacket with tight pants. Mika did not like his tight pants.

     

    Mika was mad that the GOP talks about income inequality but don't do anything about it. Mika said Elizabeth Warren was a leader on income inequality.

     

    Joe bragged that he was a leading speaker on income inequality.

     

    Joe is mad at Connecticut for raising taxes. GE said they may leave the state. Joe sounds like a lobbyist for his ex employer GE.

     

    Yesterday, Joe was mad at the Democrats for talking about voter id because minorities for voting in large numbers so its a non issue for him.

    Mika sounds better without her braces. She said she took them out.

  16. Joe is blasted by a guest for his treatment of the Clintons. Joe didn't like being called a Hun by Joe Conason. Joe is getting really mad & his face is turning red. Joe said its ok to have different opinions of politicians every week.

     

    Joe said all the elites watch his show. Joe said he doesn't cozy up to anyone. Joe said he doesn't like being compared to the Nazis.

     

    Joe is wearing his new shirt with sleeves. Mika is upset that Hillary scrubbed the servers.

  17. Joe was jealous that ABC signed George Stephanopolos signed a 7 year 105 million contract. Joe said it would be tough to fire him because Morning TV is very profitable for networks.  I think George helped moderate CGI panels over the past 10 years or so.  I agree with Mika that he should have disclosed his contributions prior to doing the interviews. I do recall Mika & Joe being at those Clinton panels. Mika & Joe also went to the Koch Brothers weekend retreat in Las Vegas a few months. Are Mika & Joe required to report their revenues from non tv activities to NBC for conflict of interest purposes? Joe & Olberman were suspended for making political contributions in2009 & 2010

     

    The panel was upset that ISIS was taking over Iraq. Joe wants other countries to help defeat ISIS.

     

    Joe said people should stop talking about 2003 & focus on 2015. What can be done now to stop ISIS. The training of the Iraq army has failed miserably.

     

    Joe said everyone overestimates the Iraq army's capabilities.

     

    The new kid, Phil said that ISIS has some of Saddam's best Generals working for them. He made a point about the Sunnis& Shiites The Iraq army is sending Shiites to pacify the Sunnis in Ramadi. The local Sunnis don't trust the Shiites.

     

    On  a fashion note, Joe wore a light blue dress shirt with  tie & rolled up sleeves . That's odd for Joe.

  18. I am baffled why the first 10 minutes of the show were devoted to ESPN broadcaster simmons not having his contract renewed. Is there nothing else going on in the world?

     

    Joe has a new hairstyle.

     

    Joe was gloating about the Saudi King refusing to show up at Camp David over the US support for Iran. Joe bragged that he was right about the Sunnis.

     

    Harold Ford Jr was on the panel. He agreed with Joe.

     

    Mika tried to explain that the White House view that Israel, Saudi Arabia etc would never support any nuclear deal with Iran.

     

    Joe mocked the Obama's position that no deal would lead to a war between Iran & everyone else.

  19. Mika & Joe got into a heated argument with Freddie Gray's lawyer. Mika called him condescending after he refused to say he was in a conflict of interest by donating to the Moseby campaign. He replied that the police union gave to her campaign as well & she indicted the officers . Mika & joe were stumped. Joe asked Heileman & Willy to help them out but they didn't have much to say.

     

    Mika & Joe also talked about the shootings at the garland Texas. Moyhadin was on & said it was OK to hold the events. Apparently there was a contest to draw pictures of the Prophet mohammed.

  20. Joe & Halperin are excited that Christie was not indicted . Mika was the voice of reason today. She said it was not a good day when 3 people in his office get indicted. Joe said Fiorina is performing well at CPAC. She was at 0% in the polls.
