What was that creepy Joe trying to grab Mika's hand then mumbling you're my fiancee thing?

At a random point in the show, Joe said to Mika something along the lines of "Do you want to say that to the whole class". Mika responded by saying something I could not make out.

Joe then said (paraphrasing again, and addressing the audience) "that's a joke. We actually like each other, so don't tweet about this. But Mika won't hold my hand even though were engaged" (while trying to grab Mika's hand).

Because it was THEIR money.  And returning the money was the incentive to get them to sign the agreement. 

True, but the USA kept the cash for decades. They could pay them back in installments rather than all upfront.

Wednesday Recap. Mika is wearing a lighter blue top. It's her birthday!. There might be cake at the end of the show. Hayden joins the panel with Haas & Barnicle!.

First topic. Rosenstein is a hero. Joe called his opponents , Trump Stooges trying to restrict his ability to investigate Trump. Rosenstein respects the Consitution.

It turns out that Trump told his doctor during the election that he was very healthy. Trump's bodyguards  broke in & stole Trump's medical records about his hair loss.

It's a blah panel today. The theme is that Trump is violating all the Constitutional norms & won't be there in 2 years.

It was nice of Mika & Joe to be on the panel together today.

The weather is better.

I switched to CNN at 6 30 am.

Let There Be Cake! If there's one thing I like about Mika it's her fondness for cake! Will Joey blow a noisemaker in her face like she did to him? 

IA, low energy show so far.

I'm in for a Kasie DC mug.  Actually some of the stuff is kind of clever (I like the Chris, Chris, Rachel and Lawrence and also the Talk Politics to Me t-shirts).  I noticed they are running their commercial for this a lot in the past couple of days, thanks for supplying the link Oakville as I was too lazy to look it up myself.

Elise Jordan joined the set wearing a dark blue prom dress with a plunging neckline & no sleeves.  She said Trump's legal team is not as good as Mueller's.

I just got a quick glimpse of it, lovely color but not sure it's a good morning look.  Speaking of color, Mika looks lovely in that dress/color today.  She should wear that more often.

Mika's light blue dress is the same dress as her red dress except in a different color. I think she has the dress in navy too. She used to dress nicely. I guess prepping for the show isn't the only thing she's given up on.

Elise can do better. She should raid Kasie’s or Heidi’s closet.

The dresses are ok. Mika used to wear very nice clothes pre 2016. Joe looked like a slob with fleece sweaters. You can buy the fleece sweaters @ the MSNBC store

Stephanie Ruhle is good.

ETA: Mika can't keep up. Also, she just said maybe Trump raided his doctor's office to get files about an STD. What a morning.

World's Saddest Birthday Party.

I know!! She's a cohost for godsakes shouldn't you actually allocate 5 minutes for it rather than the 10 seconds they gave to hustle in the cake , flowers and balloons, while simultaneously segue-ing to the author?  That was stupid.  And Mika acted embarrassed.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH MIKA?  She doesn't act normal.  Is she a MSNBC hostage?

I'm pretty sure my father said the same things at my birthday parties before I could form full sentences, "XO loves cake! Look at cake! XO loves flowers! Look, flowers for XO! Happy birthday!"

I do feel like rewatching The West Wing. I give Morning Joe 30 minutes. 15 minutes if Joe is in a bunker.

It's my go too when I want something on the tv but don't care if I leave the room for 10 minutes.  Also The Office & The Grinder. 

I think they were talking about Rosenstein basically telling the GOP & Trump to shove it if they thought they could threaten him.  Which I already knew. 

The thing is, unless something breaks over night, everything they talk about has been discussed to death the prior night so JoMika rehashing it is a waste of time, unless you just want to punish yourself.  I also got pissed when Joe said "it's the Dems that used to attack the CIA!!! They used to try to stop an independent agency from doing its job!!!" 

So now Joe is in favor of letting the CIA do whatever the fuck they want?  I mean, yes, we have agents who risk their lives, and they work hard, and they do their jobs,  but not having oversight on them also led to them hiding intel from the FBI re the 9/11 attackers. And torture.    Oversight is one thing, obstruction of justice ie the President and his lackeys publicly calling our intel agencies a bunch of worthless liars out to get him is totally different, Joe. 

Re the Trump STD thing, I'm sure the producer was screaming "ALLEGEDLY!!!!" in her ear piece, and "go to Joe, go to Joe"!!!!

Why did that doctor wait so long to talk about Schiller coming to his office and taking Trump's records?  Also, it doesn't matter if you prescribed an antibiotic, or a cream for a rash, or Propecia, you aren't supposed to discuss any meds you prescribe someone without their consent.  Right?

The last segment was way too rushed. It was stupid to try to fit Mika's birthday cake, Mike Lupica's book, and the other guy into a single segment. If they were running short of time, they should have cut back on the re-run segments.

Traveling in Europe, and you guys' coverage of the Michelle Wolf brouhaha has been entertaining us this week.  Thanks!
I can't tell from afar, what is the current official position of the MJ Squad on Ms Wolf's humor?  They've seemingly whipsawed in all directions.  Are they now sanguine about being mocked by her, or were they never that put out?  Did they ever directly mention the "Me Too" joke.
We've listened to her routine every night since it occurred to much laughter.  We're not quite understanding how offended everyone is.  I understand why SHS is offended, but not others.

They did not discuss the joke Wolff made about them. How would Joe deny that he was interested in a physical relationship with Mika in 2006.? 

How would Mika explain that she waited till 2015 to separate from Jim Hoffer?

Mika's at home going Live from her indoor farm an hour or two after wrapping the show. It's no wonder they don't have good guests or discussions anymore. The hosts aren't even bothering to stay around the office to get shit done. 

Mika was back at it again today, live from her house a couple of hours after the show ended. Joe was lounging on her patio. They must literally race home after the show,

Jeremy Bash said Giuliani asserts that Stormy's $130,000 was repaid in a batch of payments totaling $470,000 - JB asks were any of those payments made for a similar reason, and who was paid?

Giuliani's motor mouth will be the gift that keeps on giving.

Feeling the same! His diatribe about Federal Law Enforcrmemy agents being called stormtroopers was epic. Then Willie summed up the thought effectively in about  10 words. 

He is hilarious

Why does Mika go out of her way to look so frumpy?  That top today looks like something an old lady would wear to do housecleaning.  (Full disclosure: I am an old lady and even I look spiffier than that.  Well, usually, anyway.)  Between her questionable fashion choices and her white "blonde" hair, she looks old beyond her years.  SO SAD!! 

Joe must have directed her to tone down da sexy, since her crush, Michael AvenHottie is on set with her today while Joe is off somewhere in his bunker.

Thursday Recap. Joe is in a Bunker not wearing glasses. Mika is wearing a lovely turqoise top. KCDC got the library & a lightning bolt before she said hello. Mika said she will never stop using that lightning bolt to demean her. Know Your Value KC!.

Giuliani admitted payments were made by Trump to Cohen.

It's Willie's Birthday!. More cake coming!.

Avenatti will be on set.

Joe said Trump is doomed with all these legal scandals.

Mika is wearing too much mascara.

Giuliani was slurring his words. Is he OK?

I suppose the theme is that Trump paying a "pornstar" will force him to resign?

Mika said "pornstar" numerous times.

Turley has no clue what Trump is doing.

When they talk about stormtroopers, what about Trump's people storming his doctor's office and taking not only papers but a picture off the wall? I was hoping they would make that comparison.

Hee, it looks like it was Jonathan Lamire for the block this time.  Meeks got a little testy with her besty there for a while but it looks like they all parted friends.  That's a great color on Mika but I am not a fan of that dress.  At all.

Oh FFS is Scarborough getting paid by the number of times he says stormtroopers this morning?  Mika should have skipped the "legal experts" and gone directly to the tape.

And I love Rick Tyler.  I wish he was on every day.  His facial expressions are the best but that line about never use the word funnel when talking about campaign money was hilarious.
