honestly, if joe is this involved in the policies and decision making, he shouldn't be on TV. he should be on the freaking administration. I dont get it. 

He is a renaissance man, a sage, a man for the ages. We are so lucky to have him all for ourselves.

Was packing a suitcase, didn't see who it was, someone male asked what does it mean that Trump takes pleasure in demeaning people such as Chuck Schumer, bringing him to tears. Mr and Mrs Blowhard feigned interest in the question. She said "Yeah, well ..." and he said "I don't know" and they went to commercial. It's called malignant narcissism, you assholes. It's hard to recall a recent morning when they were so full of themselves, and it's obvious that Mr Blow had a pleasurable night with his girlfriend (Trump). I hate this shitfest with the heat of a thousand suns.

As I type this I am watching Ted Cruz nattering in favor of Gorsuch. While I sing "What A Wonderful World."

Can MSNBC be far behind?  Oh that's right, Joe's ass kissing "trumps" the honest reporting the rest of the day.

I hope so!  I would love to watch MSNBC without any of Trumputin's goons lying to us all day!  I might have to switch to CNN now, just so I never have to see those fools trying to fool people into thinking they aren't lying fools.

Guys, discuss the show.  That's it.  General political talk does not belong here.

Consider this a group warning.

Could you let us know exactly where the line is?  Most of the discussions about this show delve into a vast grey area.

Friend of the show is the most prestigious award given by Mika & Joe. 

It allows you unlimited appearances on the show even if you have nothing interesting to say. Barnicle & Harold Ford Jr are lifetime recipients.

It is a gray area, you're correct, so erring on the side of caution is appreciated.  I realize the show brings up certain topics and expanding on them outside of what was actually said delves into general political talk.

Without Joe, I wouldn't know anything about European soccer or the Red Sox.

i know far more about music now that Joe tells us which songs are important. 

Joe is the leader of very casual dress workplaces

i am proud to wear llbean sweaters to work with no socks in Canada in the winter. 

I couldn't stop laughing at Mika & Joe getting so excited that Trump was able to deliver a speech last night without making a mistake.

Harold Ford Jr has probably said nothing interesting, or rather, individually thoughtful, during the history of the show.  He just contorts logic to agree with Joe.  He might as well hum instead of shape words, has the same effect.

Harold Ford is a nominal investment banker (I suspect his workdays consist of schmoozing rather than, say, reviewing deal documents or studying yield curves) and who has now been out of office longer than he ever was in office (an office he inherited from his father.) He brings absolutely NOTHING to the table. And those dead eyes and mumbly montone are as creepy as all get-out.

Ugh, while the shit was going down last weekend he spent most of his Twitter cheering on Liverpool FC, which is owned by the same collection of ghouls who own the Red Sox (and Barnicle's friends.) What is it, Joe? Are you the Florida panhandle good old boy or are you the Kennedyesque Red Sox fan Nantucket preppy? I'm gonna start calling him the Great Fatsby.

I can remember one time when HFJ spoke extemporaneously, it was on the subject of minimum wage.  After a couple of suggestions were thrown out, HFJ suggested we have two minimum wages; $15 for heads of household, another one for everybody else.  He suggested that with a straight face.  The panel was gobsmacked.  Tennessee really dodged a bullet when he lost the senatorial race.

I think Joe loves playing the part of Nantucket Joe with his stepford member of the elite girlfriend. However, the reality is that he would never get elected in the northeast as a member of the GOP.

its hilarious to watch him check his phone without his glasses on to see what his brother says about the reactions of people living in the Florida panhandle to the refugee ban. 

Joe tries to be mr redneck riviera when it suits him yet he is more comfortable pretending to be part of the New England elite

That is genius.  Calling him the Great Fatsby to his face would cause him to E X P L O D E in rage.  Two kill shots in one jab. 

GATSBY
He puts on airs like he's old money and just like everyone on the cape, or Wall Street, or the Hamptons, or uptown, but... he knows he's a hick salesman from nowhere on Florida's panhandle.  Yeck.  There's that, and...
FAT
He's about 6'4", I'm a little taller (I mention for a purpose...).  He and I can carry weight and you wouldn't know.  I promise you he struggles with his waist and knows he's not in shape.  The "Great Fatsby" would set him off... like, I don't know, a certain thin-skinned baby man who is now our fucking President.

Create a fake Twitter handle called "The Great Fatsby" and hound him.

I am sad that Dr Z won't appear more often on Morning Joe. I would love to hear his opinions on how Trump can deal with the Geo political issues facing the new administration. Thanks for the tip!. i will try to find the interview online.

I am surprised that Bloomberg did not renew Heileman & Halperin's contracts. Mika calls them the Game Change Boys. I wonder if they are planning to write a Game Change 2016 book?

Thursday recap. Mika is wearing a navy blue sleeveless dress with a cardigan over it. The panel spent 5 minutes disussing Bill Murray's movies & groundhog day. Joe was at at DiBlasio for dropping a groundhog. Mika was mad because she wanted to read the news. Joe is wearing a navy blue sweater. NSC advisor Flynn went to the podium & got mad at Iran for testing missiles. Joe said it was a plan to warn Iran that they can't get away with it now that Trump is in charge. Haas said it would be ok to impose sanctions on them. Joe said the Sunni allies are happy with Trump going after Iran. Joe was happy that everyone followed the protocol for alerting Flynn. Someone leaked the call between Trump & the Australian PM. Obama made a deal to accept 1200 refugees from the 7 banned countries. Trump was furious with Australia.

Joe blamed Obama for allowing the Iranians to slaughter their own people in Iran. Joe blamed Obama for letting Iran gaining power in the Middle East. During the show, Joe got a text from an important Middle East Leader agreeing with Joe. Joe is so powerful.

Joe started fighting with Mika over whether or not Flynn was shooting from the hip.

I heard this AM that another possibility is that the Trump Admin put out this leak as a show that the new President isn't afraid to come up against anyone.

Who's leaking?  I thought that ultimate loyalists is who he surrounds himself with.

Also, there seems to be disagreement with the Australian PM and press there of what really went down.  The PM says the call ended cordially the press there has several different reports. 

Here, the press says he was rude to the PM and even that he was tired.  Sounds like things are under control in trumpworld.

Friday Recap without Mika. Posh Katty is the only female in Washington Studio. Someone on the panel wants Rachel Maddow to escort Milo Yannopoulos to speeches at BERKELEY. Joe is happy that Tillerson is SOS. Joe said the kids are no longer running the White House. The panel thanked Joe for bringing order back to the Trump administration. Heilemann, said that Obama did the same thing in 2009. There were big promises about Gitmo etc but eventually stability takes over.

Harold Ford Jr trashed the protesters and said Democrats will be out of power for a long time if they support the protests.

Joe said Trump knows what he is doing by getting people riled up against him, because the silent majority will support Trump. Joe said his family switched from Democrats to the GOP in 1972.

Excuse me John but President Obama did sign an EO re closing Gitmo, Congress over ruled it. If these idiots think stability is going to take over in this Administration, they are drunk or high or just stupid.  As long as Congress and most of the WH staff & cabinet are terrified of Trump & Bannon, this is what we have to look forward to.  Mattis & Tillerson may be able to keep us out of WWIII, but that doesn't mean things are going to quiet down. Bannon will see that every law protecting minorities, separating church & state, etc is gone unless Congress grows a collective pair of balls and shuts this shit down. 

And Brokaw, you may think Gorsuch has the best credentials a SCOTUS nominee has ever had, I don't care if Jesus Christ himself comes down and proclaims him "best justice ever", he is a danger to civil rights, workers' rights, women's reproductive rights, health care access, the environment, voting rights, the list is endless.  Take your fucking degree from Oxford and shove it up your old shriveled up ass.

when all hell breaks loose on the streets of this nation ala riots, i wonder what Joe and Mika will say then. Kind of looking forward to it. hope they have on their Christmas jammies on to tell us that this is all Obama's fault. I guarantee you that this is where we are all going.

Just a reminder, after Bush's 2004 victory but before the horrific handling of Katrina when the wheels started falling off, Harold Ford approached Rove about the possibility of switching to the GOP.  He is not a real Democrat. And he's going to be doing just fine for the next four years - high-paying do-nothing job, expensive apartment, Cadillac health plan. He can't fathom the protests because he really has nothing to be angry about. In fact, he's friends with the Trump's:

Morning Joe relies on polls for discussion. After the inauguration, Joe went on a rant against the speech because it was dark and mean. Then the polls came out showing that it was popular. Then  Joe went on a rant against D.C. Elites not understAnding the Real America. Joe's brother in Pensacola is a citizen of real America loved the speech. 

I love this show because Joe looks for polls that validate whatever rant he wants to start.

joes new theory is that Stephen Miller who was effectively running the country last week is now working in the White House basement because Joe told Trump to put Mad Dog & Exxon man in charge. Thank god joe is in chargge of advising Trump

Rachel Maddow is the leader of Gay Progressives according to Joe. If she escorts Milo, all the gay Progressives will listen to him.

He tends to call out Rachel by name, and merely alludes to Olbermann. Because he's a big scaredy-cat. Rachel is too above-it-all to react, and Olbermann (imo) is just the liberal version of Scarborough and would clap back and escalate it.

I took his Rachel escort line as another tiresome false equivalence: librulls don't believe in free speech that doesn't agree with their viewpoint. Ergo, they're all hypocrites and Joe never passes up the opportunity to point out a ridiculous scenario to "prove" his point, thus showing that it's the librulls/Dems problem that there's no "reaching across the aisles." 

It's a total weaksauce, wienie move, but hey, who am I to argue with the great Fatsby? He probably sings T. to sleep every night after he's done reading T. The Giving Tree and concurring that said Tree is a loser because it gave away everything for free and it deserves to be made into T. bobbleheads.
