Has Katty had a facelift.? There are scars around her neck.?

Definite eyebrow lift.  She looks very cat-eyed.  I was just thinking that this AM.  New Years is apparently the MSNBC-approved time to have a plastic surgery. (IE: Trumps idiotic Mika facelift remark 1 year ago)

I was just coming to say the same thing.  It looked like she had something done to her eyes previously, but man they turned it up to 11 this time.  Maybe in a couple months it will settle down a little. yikes

They could have the flu, there's a lot of it going around.  I had a bug a couple weeks ago, I could barely get off the sofa for a day and it took almost a week where just the sight of food didn't make me feel nauseous. 

Also It's the holidays and lots of the shows take advantage of slow news by taking off.   I'd be surprised if even the prime time shows have all the hosts back this week.  There's not much to talk about. Trump playing golf for a week straight, the network beat that Papadapolous story to death over the weekend.

I don’t think Mika has been on since the Halperin intervention. We still love Sarasota despite it being in the 50’s. This is spring like for us. We also got to experience US healthcare since my wife had bronchitis. Luckily , our Canadian insurance works here. It took a few phone calls, but the clinic was very nice. They don’t give you cookies when you are discharged.:((

This show is running like a store that's going out of business.   Completely unprofessional and disrespectful to viewers.   I don't buy the flu excuse for a second.

It’s harder to Recap when Mika & Joe aren’t on the show. There was a good discussion on Iran & North Korea. 

Joe must be busy meeting with key Iranian leaders to provide updates on the situation.

Wondered if Jordan was throwing some shade Peters's way with her oh-so-piercing eyes. Peters is Bannon's bestest MSM fanboi due in part, methinks, to a book deal all about the rise of the *wink* nationalist revolution *wink* in which, as he's said, Bannon is a predominant figure.  And he never fails to chant ye old disheveled basement dweller's name when he's on teevee. So, I kind of thought it was funny when Jordan asked Costa about Bannon's role in the upcoming year instead of Peters. Don't tell me these people don't keep Mean Girl type tabs on who's sold what and who's schilling for who and why. Cue three-way call between Jordan, Peters and Costa.

Wednesaday Recap. Katty is wearing a black striped sweater from the Star Trek villain collection. I started watching around 715 am.Eddie Glaude & Shannon debated whether Democrats would trade DaCa for Funding the Wall. The base will explode if Pelosi makes any concessions are made. 

Noah said everyone likes DaCa , and Trump might settle for minimal funding of the Wall.

Some GOP are worried about Infrastructure spending raising the deficit!

RCP politics guy said Trump is unpopular in Iowa despite strong economy. The other Iowa GOP reps are more popular.

Trump & Romney don’t like each other. The panel 2as excited that a Never Trumper like Romney could win the Senate seat & thwart Trumps agenda.

Elaine Godfrey discussed young Trumper on college campuses vs Traditional GOP.

Elaine said it’s weird that young Trumpers support an Archie Bunker era politician.

Elaine said the Young GOP is losing support.

Barnicle wants mandatory national service for young people so they can meet people with different political views

Barnicle was upset about Trumps mental stability.

 The panel is upset about Trumps tweets about Nuclear Buttons.

Meacham showed up to say Trump only cares about his base.

Mika & Joe are still off with the “flu”

That little writer from The Atlantic and her silly article about the rise of Trump on campus was very politely smacked down by the panel.  Poor thing was out of her depth.  She couldn't back up anything she observed and couldn't define what her piece was meant to be about.

Noah Rothman, after the author was bid farewell, said that from what he's seen, Trump's popularity on campus is just from those who like how Trump is aggressive and bullying and how he incites "the other side."  He's a favorite of pricks on campus who like to make liberals angry, and that's it.  Prof. Eddie agreed.  It's not a movement, it's all emotional.

I think Katty's face-work actually looks better in 2018 than  in the latter part of 2017.  She looks less artificial this morning.  She also looks like she had a really relaxing, restful holiday.  She seems fresher and younger and way way less stressed out.  I hate her dress, though.  But love the panel, so that's a trade off I'm cool with.

Star Trek villain collection, hee!  I think she would have worn one of Mika's scarves but I saw Kasie! was wearing it on air earlier this week.  I don't know where those two are but I noticed Joe has been tweeting up a storm for the past 48 hours (didn't realize about the Jupiter FL tweet Oakville, thanks for pointing that out).

Glad they brought up that Guardian article.  I was reading it when they started to talk about it on the air, oooof it's brutal (and amazing).  I saw Heilemann was on, did they mention that Showtime did renew his show (The Circus) but Alex Wagner will replace Halperin.  I was glad to read about and glad that Alex will be back on the air as I always enjoyed her show.

Happy New Year, everyone!  Wishing you all good health and peace.

This morning, John Heileman told Katty and the panel that his show, The Circus, will return to Showtime in 2018.  His new co-host is Alex Wagner (who is fantastic, IMO).  Halperin's name was not uttered.

I've been tough on Noah Rothman in the past (and I still think he's too young to always look so dissipated) but he was more evenhanded and intellectually open this morning, IMO.  I can warm to him if he keeps it up.

Katty just signed off by saying Joe should be recovered enough to be back on the show tomw.  No mention of Mika.

I read this as "the Winston Churchill movie [that was]  based on his twitter feed" and made myself laugh. I can just imagine the opening credits:

Based on the 280-character musings of Joe Scarborough

I'm pretty sure Joe will be there tomorrow (and maybe Mika too as she is tweeting today) as they are featured in the excerpts of that Michael Wolff book:

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/01/michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-book-donald-trump.html

I believe every word of this article. Every. Single. Word.

A couple of weeks ago, MJ had a Republican strategist on the show, I think her name was Susan DelPercio, who said virtually the same thing. They never expected to win, which is why they paid so little attention to following the rules. Trump wanted to boost his brand, maybe start a television network, and all of his flunkies just wanted to get famous.

I can't imagine that even the "flu" would keep them from missing this opportunity to gloat over Trump's public humiliation.

Plus the opportunity to revel in being mentioned. "Baby," (you know he calls her Baby, right?) "please come to the studio with me. We're part of the story! I'll make it up to you later, baby, you know I will." I'm looking forward to hearing their spin on yet another visit to Mar A Lago and hoping that grasping at relevance will entice them into leaving the comfort of their nest/cocoon and getting their overpaid, privileged asses back to their fucking jobs.

Major miscalculation on Mika's part, trying to defend/mediate the Halperin fiasco - and she's been MIA since the backlash. Boo freakin' hoo. She was extra snotty/condescending during the show taped for New Year's Day - pointing to the "Previously Recorded" banner and saying "You can go eat some Cheetos now" and "You can go back to eating Cheetos now." These two really, really, really resent being called on their bullshit. Perhaps she is  still holding her breath because Morning Adulterous Hosts In Matching Flannel PJs didn't become a thing.

Joe has bunkers across the USA!

I felt badly for Kasie because Joe introduced 7 or 8 people on the Brady Bunch TV wall highlighting their credentials, yet Kasie gets the lightning bolt & ready to rock. It is disrespectful to her & belittles her accomplishments.

Joe s bragging about meeting with Trump after the first debate. Joe said it was a disaster. Joe wasn’t sure if Trump has been reading any policy papers.

I find it interesting that Heilemann started the discussion about the Wolff book by saying he plays fast & loose with the facts. 

The panel is happy that Bannon is turning on Trump. The Russian influence on Trump may be true with money laundering. Trump sold condos to Russians! 

Joe kept interrupting Heilemann when he was talking.

Joe reminded Peggy Noonaan about David Stockman in 1981 saying bad things about Reagan. Peggy swooned!

Joe said it was devastating for Reagan & he was only able to win 49 states in the 1984 election.

Kasie ! Is reading from Wolffs article today about Trump not recognizing old friends and repeating himself.

All the staffers hate Trump & Melania was crying on election night.She didn’t want to be First Lady.

John said George Bush was repeating himself in the White House. It’s a stressful job.

I hope the Dems don't waste a penny of funds trying to run a Democrat against Uber Mormon Mitt. Sold his soul--well Trump said on TV that Mitt offered him a blowjob to work with him ("He would go on his knees, ya know").

Ideally you'd grow in a greenhouse in a temperate environment.  Uses a fraction of the energy and expenses.  If you've ever been to the California desert areas, you'd see that the desert there is blazing hot and the air is completely dry.  The plants need to be in warehouses to be protected and the climate can be conditioned to perfect conditions.  This doesn't work for tomatoes or watermelons, obviously, but because the warehouse space is cheap and marijuana has high profit margins, farming it this way works.  It's weird the news industry is surprised that these businesses are racing like miners to gold mines, as all of this has been planned for a very long time.  Money, blueprints, materials, distribution channels, etc... has all been in place and just waiting.

"Happy new year.  We're all doomed."  Pretty funny.

Heilemann must furious  at Halperin for getting his Trump book & HBO movie cancelled because of Halperin behaviour.

Heilemann has only given one interview about Halperin. He claims he had no clue what Halperin was doing.

Joe keeps bringing up that Trump May have had dementia during the 2016 campaign.

Podhertz should be reprimanded for disputing one of Joe’s top talking points over the past year.

luckily, no one has ever thought of using clips of Joe speaking in Congress and showing his opinions today.

Joe would lose All credibility with viewers.
