When your objectivity about Joe's bullshit is over ruled by his bank account balance. 

I wonder how much  the Post pays him for his columns?

I just looked it up, there was an article in Politico (of course) when he started writing for their "Partisan Blog" editorial column. Guess who else writes for that?  Rachel Maddow. And guess what else? As a regular viewer of Rachel Maddow Show, I HAVE NEVER ONCE HEARD HER BRING IT UP. 

I don't even know if she talks about Bag Man that much, the network promotes it more than she does. And she is an actual journalist, putting things in historical perspective, as opposed to Joe just blathering his uninformed opinions.

As I get older, Joe's rants are getting harder to listen to. It's just rude to rant when there were other people at the table.

Mika was excited about Joe's latest Washington Post column.

Oh dear no! I love Joe's rants. They're so crazy it's like being a ball in a pinball machine. Sometimes he actually hits a good point that I agree with

Who was the woman sitting to the left of David Ignatius today?  Older lady.  Never seen her before.  There was a great deal of sober outrage this morning.  I didn't hear the whole conversation but I presume Fox and trump are now leveling accusations at media outlets and specific people, and this morning's panel was reacting to that? 
Joe was all over the place.  Like a volcano with ants in its pants.

Who are they barring? I always admired them for being the first to nominate Kellyanne and holding to that. 

I don't know, they didn't elaborate at least when I was tuned in.  I did watch the replay and am still confused at exactly who these people are or who it is that writes (opines?) for the NYT but they really lit a fire under Joe.

joe wants to read the mueller report.

Joe is still mad at Trump for doing shady deals with Russians.

Joe supports NATO.

I know this is an unpopular opinion (different strokes and all) - but as soon as I saw Claire McKaskill this morning I switched to CNN.  Which was depressing; so tuned in to CBS This Morning.   When I switched back to MJ - she was still on.  And seemed to be agreeing with Michael Steele about something; not sure because I switched back to CBS. The show seems so much better when the hosts are sitting at the desk in the New York studio.

Mika is outraged at Jussie Smollett getting the charges dropped.

Danny Cevallos said that its not unusual to have charges dropped in exchange for community service.

Police spent a lot of resources working on the case.

Would have done the same. She rubs me the wrong way. 

There's more evidence coming out re the brothers, Jussie's attorney was on GMA.  Just because Jussie knew them didn't mean they didn't have something to do with it. 

I don't know how people say Jussie is rich and popular. Raise your hand if you knew who he was and of the "power" he had prior to this incident.

Joe called the leader of the Labor Party anti Semitic & anti Europe.

Joe loves to discuss which politicians are anti semitic. It's hilarious when he lectures other Jewish panelists on the topic.

Joe is now piling on Jussie Smollet.

Mika said Jussie shold not have a press conference. Joe wanted him to watch Howard Cosell .

Claire McCaskell brought this up and she can miss me with her not-so-veiled racism. I think we saw Mika and Joe's true white colors this morning as well. Dead to me. All of them.

I'll still watch because I want to see them epically humiliated, hand-in-hand with their buddy Donald Trump.

I remember when Joe went on a tirade against the African Americans who were upset at the police .  Mika piped in with deragatory comments about the protesters. It got so bad that they had to bring in Al Sharpton to calm them down.

I wondered if these guys started blackmailing Jussie or making threats of violence if he didn't give them money.  Maybe he had met them or they were trainers etc and decided hey we can intimidate this guy and get more money out of him.  They could have hired a couple people to beat him up. 

Rahm Emanuel doesn't have a great reputation in dealing with the Black community in Chicago, so coming out and saying Jussie is this powerful celebrity who got away with a terrible crime is a crock. 

Watch The Case Against Adnan Syed if you want to see how much a City will close ranks when they don't want their bullshit exposed.

Joe forgets he got in trouble a few years ago for ranting against Israel's treatment of Palestinians.  It's obvious Joe is thinking about running for Congress, there are a lot of Jewish people in FL whose votes he needs to procure.  Netanyahu is under indictment for corruption, so be careful of the hill you choose to die on, Joey.

Mika botched the introduction of Dr Evelyn Farkas. She called her the President Fellow.

Farkas looked shocked.

Joe complained about Stephen Moore joining the federal reserve. joe said he was friends with him at the Club for Hair Growth. Joe said Moore is no longer a consistent Conservative like himself.

A few weeks ago during the SOTU speech, Trump said all Democrats were doomed because Trump 's last 5 minutes of the speech were very inspiring. Now Trump is DOOMED. 🙂 Make up your mind Joe. The show used to offer detailed & thoughtful analysis

Now, it seem like Joe wakes up and decides to bash Trump or Democrats or whoever gets on his bad side.

Because she's used to being on Rachel, or Last Word, or 11th Hour, which are all hosted by professionals and not ninnies who have been told by their husband that every fucking thing they do is SO adorable. 

If Mika wasn't with Joe, she would have been fired 10 years ago.

How does the party deal?  They are elected representatives doing what their constituents voted them in to do.  They submit bills their constituents support, and some bills pass and some fail.  That's how representation works, Willie.  I would think he would have learned that while working on same show as a former Congressman.

JOE IS BLOVIATIN' ON HARDBALL!  Imagine my astonishment to see that he's interrupting both my breakfast and my dinner.

I was not privy to the festivities because I was giving a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses the bum's rush but I recognized the lilt of his voice and it lasted nearly as long as my ordeal on the front porch. 

ETA I realized after posting that this is the episode thread but I don't know how to double quote to preserve the flow and move it to the hosts thread. Also, this site is so janky for me today that I had to move from phone to PC to do this edit. Having one hell of a time getting posts to "take" today. Sorry ...

Joe and Chris Matthews!  Just listened to it; for once, Chris found someone that he could not interrupt or talk over.  It was like an accident that you could not look away from.  Mr. Kemper said that Joe was hosting...not Matthews.

So.  I guess Joe does not confine his rants and bloviating to MJ.  He sounds just like he does in the morning; exactly. Same opinions but maybe with a little more humor.  Chris was putty in his hands.  

Since Chris was on MJ this week and now Joe is on Hardball; maybe this crossover will become a regular thing.  I don't mind Joe's opinionating (new word!) in small doses; he can sometimes be effective. In small doses.

I can't remember the name of the guy who comes on the show with charts -- Steve Ratner? -- but he was on there this morning, and I want him to be forced to explain why he said the Green New Deal and Medicare for All are irresponsible proposals. He just rattled that comment off, when comparing them to the "more responsible" policies proposed by "more moderate" candidates like Amy Klobuchar,  Hickenlooper, possibly Bennett, et al.

"Some day we are going to get into this Jeffery Epstein story. . .  The Epstein story is important . . . When we have more time we'll  blah blah blah. . . ."

YOU HAVE THE STATE ATTORNEY FROM EPSTEIN'S HOME COUNTY ON THE SHOW. . . If not now, when?

Ratner and his charts are In Da House. Is he the only talking head today, and now he's the expert on every subject?  Around 7:30 when I was getting ready, he very snottily dissed the things the Dems are trying to do, like Universal Health Care and the Green Deal.  He's a multi millionaire, right?  Things that make you go "hmmmm."

Oh this is rich.  The Trump administration is suing Facebook for housing descrimination?  Look I'm all for it because it's true but the irony of anything associated with Trump suing for of all things housing descrimination is off the charts.

Mika and Joe need to STFU about Jussie Smollett. 

That black attorney who I believe works on Voting Rights saying "no one in black community is saying Jussie was innocent". Excuse me sir, I think Taraji P. Henson wants a word with you.  

Here's a suggestion JoMika: Since absolutely no one knows what went on other than his attorney and the Prosecutor, just like Barr's letter isn't the Mueller report,  so stop saying there was no collusion, just based on a hired liar saying it,  how about we move on to something we know about?  Oh, that's right, Joe & Mika don't know shit about anything.

I had to leave this morning around 8:30 (EST); as I was heading out the door, I heard Joe (or Meeeeka) say that Michael Bennett would be on.  I love him!  If I was 30 years younger and had not met Mr. Kemper, I would throw myself at him, including underwear.  I had never seen him until he had that wonderful rant during the shutdown that was caught on Cspan and then went viral.  He is smart, not too hyper-partisan and passionate.  There has been talk of a presidential run. But I don't care about that right now. .......

Because why did the hosts wait until the last half hour to bring him on?  Mr. Kemper said that Bennett was talking health care and was very good.  They can have Ratner (I am fed up with him lately) and all sorts of hangers-on, political shills and cronies shilling their seminars and books.  But not have a sitting US Senator talk at the big boy table.  I am bitter.

But maybe he was on earlier and they reran the last half hour.  If so...then sorry.

A lot of times it could be related to logistics. When the main MJ set is in NY, and the politians are in DC, then they can't be literally "at the table". As far as the time, I am sure a lot of that scheduling has to do with when the politians agree to be on, I am sure that a lot of people find that being ready to be on TV at 6 am is too early.
