Today has just been one of those days.  But we did have a ramp installed a couple of months ago - a charity group did it.  They do it for free but we gave them a nice donation.  That ramp helps.

Today started with me listening to Joe's rant for almost the entire first half-hour of the show.  The rest of the day so far has consisted of dealing with Medicare, Social Security and Blue Cross.  Ar

I'll be honest...it's hard to draw the line. MJ is a show *about* politics, so when you're commenting about how you're feeling about something that was said on the show (or pointing out that something

Found this tweet from last November to Mika: 

no Mika. Bill Clinton did not give us Trump. We regained our integrity by electing Obama. Twice. YOU and your ilk fed Trump, shoved him down the throats of the gullible on a daily basis.. YOU gave him the platform without a challenge, Until it was too late. Own it, @morningmika

Nailed it.

Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski Says Donald Trump Pressed Her for the Name of Her Cosmetic Surgeon

“Donald kept calling: where’s Mika? Where’s Mika? Where’s Mika? Bring her over to dinner!”

“Who’s your doctor? Who’s your doctor? I need to go to this doctor! Who’s your doctor?”

here's some news everyone wants to know. Scarborough the band is recording new tracks lol

Yay, because America is bored with ignoring his previous tracks. 

On another note, is Mika an opportunist, or what? Dropping her panties for Joey multiplied her salary about 10x while cutting her work week by at least half or even two thirds. Joey, LOL, seriously, you a mark and you been played. When it eventually happens (and you know it will) this is going to be one of the Best Breakups Ever.

She didn't have to answer that question, it's been discussed ad nauseum, we all know the story and the fighting with Maggie Haberman, and the dragging yourself to Mar A Lago in your sweats, blah blah blah but she knew it would get out, and Trump would find out and respond. And the cycle continues. 

And she's making fun of the other women having plastic surgery? Bitch please.

I saw those Instagram posts earlier today before the comments poured in.  Didn't need to mention that protocol changed because of Carlie (who is stunning by the way).  Also didn't need to mention in the past that the wedding of the century planning had to be postponed because of her children.  In spite of all the pain that has been caused, I am glad that Joe and Mika have found each other and will continue to poke, prod and torture each other (passive aggressively of course) so they no longer inflict their behaviors on others.

Mika retweeted Maureen Dowd’s Clinton’s belated #MeToo moment editorial, bashing in equal parts Bill and Hillary. I’m wondering how long it is before one Mr. Joe Scarborough has his turn under this microscope. Given the track record of his buddies on the show, and his current engagement, I can’t imagine it’s squeaky clean.

I am sitting by the pool overlooking the water. I am starting to reread Mika’s Know Your Value book. It looks like it was published in the Fall of 2010. Weinstein Books was the publisher. Yikes! #metoo.

I just realized that our two favorite goons do appear in MSNBC's "This Is Why We Do It" promo (with voiceovers from former presidents). I was wrong about them not being included in that one, mea culpa.

But they are MIA in "This Is When It Matters" (with the Chet Huntley voiceover) and the new one "This Is How We Do It."

MSNBC excluded them two out of three times while promoting their journalists so I'm good with that.

I was looking at Mika’s mother’s art earlier today and I have to say, those trees Mika is obsessed with are probably her mother’s least interesting thing out there. Carving a tree out of a tree is a little basic after doing it for a number of decades. She has these massive-scale religious sets though. Those are cool. They have this old central European dark vibe to them. Mika, if you’re still keeping up to date with us over here (lol), sign those pieces up for a show yesterday! I have some galleries in mind; message me. Xo ?

DId we know Mika's daughter Carlie, the one who isn't the only person who ever graduated from Johns Hopkins, has a personality disorder? 

Kasie retweeted her website, calling it brave.  It's color themed pics of Carlie, and she says she uses the changes in nature to relate to her disorder.    I know it could be a private thing, but I'm assuming now it's not if Kasie is retweeting Mika's tweets about the site.   

If she suffers from a disorder that is triggered by slight changes, I cannot imagine what she has gone thru with her Mother's shenanigans. 

Yes my daughter needs me but galavanting around the country with Joe is a lot more fun.

Thank you, teddysmom, that was aces! I Shared that right quick. That's the morning I decided that Joey just maybe might could be domestic battery material. Was that the first hand-holding attempt? Fucking shit on her (with witnesses) and then berate and demean her defender and then (disregarding her known preference) reinforce your claim on her. On TV!

After ten years of watching these two, I just don't see the love story. I bet it's a roller coaster of mixed messages, bullying, bellowing, insecurity, vodka, icy silences, make-up sex and Ambien, all of which was launched by an imbalance of power and inappropriate boundaries. But, a rock band! And chickens!

I was scrolling thru The Opposition clips on  YouTube. Today is their last show :( and I'm in mourning til his new show starts. Saw this one and HAD to share. 

YEAH RICK! IS IT MORNING RICK!!! lmao

Thanks for posting this Teddysmom.  Even though you know what's coming it's still tough/shocking to watch.  I will miss The Opposition.  I was shocked when I heard it was cancelled.  :(

EXCLUSIVE: Mika Brzezinski uses her new book to launch fresh attack on Trump the 'misogynist' egomaniac - not saying the previous version called him a 'legend' who 'hires a lot of women'

Xoqueens, thanks for posting this.  Daily Mail dabbling in real journalism, who'da thought?  To be honest I skipped over it because I figured it was a plant by a publicist but it's actually a very good and informative read.  Now we know they not only rewrite history on the air, they do it in print.

In this weekend’s edition of Mika and Joe Passive Aggressiveness:

Not too long ago Know Your Value Mika posted a Know Your Value tip about taking crucial time off to recharge on weekends, with the ever helpful former Congressmen from Florida telling everyone she is really bad at putting her phone down and she just needs to do it. Mika Know Your Value agreed. Weekend working + phone addiction = bad.

Saturday, Mika Doesn’t Know Her Value posted two photos of Joe sitting alone in various strange places on his phone supposedly working. Some caption about, if there is service he will be working.

If these two aren't the poster children for narcissists (besides our CIC) I don't know what is.  Do as I Tweet, not as I do . . . gross.

Monday's episode has Mika praising the virtues of Joe: "You make it look so easy...even though I know it's not".

What's that about?

It’s so fun to join forces on the Social Media Watch Squad. ? 

What a weird post. “Thank you for it all, esp my Bamba and co.” Isn’t that her mother? And the co., who knows, the chickens? Is she publicly making up for something? Lol

I only watched the first 15 minutes of the show.  Did she actually say this because I just saw this tweet/Instagram:

Since they have been in the DC studio I was thinking maybe something was up with her mom (Bamba).  Apologies in advance for sounding like a crank but this is what couples are supposed to do, especially in a time of need.  If there is something up with her mom, the last thing that would be on my mind was making sure I mentioned it in public let alone a tee vee show and social network.  He's supposed to be supportive, that's on the list of qualifications for fiancé.

The ass kissing and social media fawning is nauseating. I also notice it with Kasie Hunt's tweets.  She was blathering on about Mika one day, and then Andrea Mitchell, and somebody said "are you paid to kiss ass this much? Is it in your job description?"   Better watch out Mika.  This is starting to sound like "All About Eve".  Kasie's all ice cream and puppy dogs til she sticks the knife in your back and takes your job.

No, she did not say it on the show, I was referring to Monday's episode of Mika's social media blatherings.

Thanks for the reminder Teddysmom as I meant to swing by her Twitter account but forgot.  Based on all the lightning bolts on it I am assuming she is fine with that awful intro and that is hilarious about her job description.  She smells blood in the water for both Mika and/or Andrea and is readying herself to step in.  Blech.

The other day she stated that she read Charles Krauthammer all her life, that he was a touchstone for her.  So that, and the asskissing, and the copying Mika's wardrobe on her show, and I'm done with her.

Not to mention the current Mr. Kasie DC . . . I am just very disappointed in Kasie.  I always used to look forward to seeing her on MJ and was always angered when Joe would blab all over what she was trying to report but after her transformation/ass-kissing that has taken place I too am just done.
