Small Talk: Cup O' Joe

[30rockaway]

Staffer rumors heating up. Rumors say jim refused a big nda pay out but is staying silent for the kids. Another rumor joe is drinking again. The Hill and Fourth Estate love to gossip about them.

That would explain the puffy face/eyes every morning. 

A relationship that starts out with this much drama and pain for family members will probably not end well. 

[teddysmom]

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.

Did he have a previous drinking problem?

I can see this getting really ugly for Mika...

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?”

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.

[Chloesmom]

For all the times I bagged on Scarborough droning on about "soccer" I take back every syllable after reading through this thread.  God bless Roger Bennett and welcome to the USA.  We are thrilled and honored to have you!

I would be willing to bet that Jim Hoffer can’t believe that Mika left him for Joe. 

Nor can anyone else. 

Except that Joe has a bigger wallet (although I bet his hands are pretty small, hence all the bloviating over-compensation.  He and tRump have more in common than he'd care to admit).

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. 

[Chloesmom]

Looks like Joe forgot to comb his hair after he pulled the curlers out:

[XOQueens]

Mika’s skin tone and hair are so unnatural looking in that pic. 

[SunnyBeBe]

IDK, but, the guy in the black baseball cap (background) is scary looking.  

[XOQueens]

Jesus, Mika’s Instagram posts for her daughter’s birthday are so passive aggressive. One is about how her graduation dress was so inappropriate they changed school protocol. Another about how she got her grandmother a gift and she hated it so she had someone exchange it the next day.

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.

[XOQueens]

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.

New MSNBC promo 

[Chloesmom]

Suomi, I take it this is the promo that only has people that actually work for a living.  I think I saw another one similar but when those two popped up they were like sitting on a park bench or something.  smh.

[Eliot]

I like to think the MSNBC promo department is trolling them, knowing they're not *real* journalists.

[suomi]

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.

How dare you!! Beaker and Screech are so too journalists!

Oh, wait you said journalists.  I thought you said egotistical monsters. 

My bad. 

[XOQueens]

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 ?

[teddysmom]

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.

I hope she was ok with Mika sharing that. It’s not a total given she knew her mother would post it. 

[Chloesmom]

Please forgive me as this is slightly off topic but I was wondering why Heilemann hasn't been on much so I wandered over to his Twitter feed.  There has been a new addition to their family and he's adorable (although his big brother may not agree with that just yet):

[teddysmom]

Throw Back Thursday a few hours early. 

Remember when Joe yelled at Mika and interrupted her and then caught hell for it?

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!

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.

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.

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.
