I wonder what Mika does in her free time. She doesn’t read, she doesn’t like any films, her chicken-craze-of-the-hour is obviously over, she doesn’t prep the show...

Oh me . . . pick me . . . . I know . . . . chardonay, everyone's friend (and it doesn't stain when you slosh it on your outfit.

She spends her days gazing upon Joe's sun-like brilliance...  Joe's so bright she's gotta wear shades.

Actually this morning I noticed her hair was on blast in terms of reflective quality.  Good grief what did they spray on her?

CBS did not want Mika on the show because she tested poorly with female viewers.

So it's not just us!  😆

She received a very poor Q rating. This also happened when she co hosted the Today Show for a few days.

[dubbel zout]

Let’s get back to the show, please.

Mom, Dad, Willie, Donny, Katty Kay, John Heilemann sitting together at the table this morning!

[Chloesmom]

Ok it looks like just out of the gate this show could be messy.  Meeks outted her husband that he just sat down about five seconds before the show began, you can tell Joe's running on Red Bull because he had his mid-life crisis concert last night and then for reasons I cannot fathom Meeks picks up a clip board emblazened with Know Your Value and just held it there for a good five seconds.

Oh no . . . . I think Meeks has an Independent Counsel of Funk sticker on her iPad stand . . . 😂

Did Scarbro really just plug Irish Spring?  (what decade is this?) And assign it to Mika?

If she were quick, she would have said, "Manly yes, but I like it too."

Yeah I have no idea where he was going with that.  I think he was making a branding point of some kind maybe?

Something like that.   He seems to believe his insights will Safeguard the republic.  Although he doesn't have much Zest this morning.   The panel's just letting him Coast.  

[suomi]

He started the personal hygiene riff with Dove soap and went to Spic n Span and Brillo pads. Mika finally told him to shut his mouth and he responded by doing an impression of meth spasm jaw. Lovely. 

[stormy]

Joe talked about the madness of trump.  Now he thinks it's madness

Why wasn't it when you where on the phone with him in 2015-16 laughing and cajoling him and never thinking his "magic voodoo powers" (Joe's words) weren't madness?

Of course, Mika tried to reign everyone in by talking over them, with her just stop it right now.  She was giddy (in her mind powerful) that she talked to trump on the phone everyday.   Now, she sits by lamely trying to act like she's the adult on the panel.

 I'm still waiting for my apology.  (I know, when hell freezes over)

[stormy]

The Rudy story, which I heard on another MSNBC show yesterday, was covered here this morning.

I don't know why this is OK.  Aren't there any intel experts that can explain this?

Yikes, during the should the Red Sox players have gone to the White House debate, Joe dragged out his young white guy from TX that just wants to see the WH routine and Meeks interjected the more important story was how imigrants helped this team to win and solidarity was more important and Joe said "easy for you to say who was playing in the WH at 9 years old".  Holy cow, what a cheap shot right on national TV.  Should be a fun trip home.

[oakville]

Katty Kay said that Trump is wrong to impose tariffs on Chinese goods. It raises prices of imported goods.

[oakville]

The latest poll shows Biden with 36% support in NH & Sanders with 18%. Sanders won NH in 2016.

[oakville]

Donnie said voters want to get rid of Trump.

Joe wants the people with 2% support to be nice to Joe Biden. He wants him to stay disciplined and on script.

Heileman reminded Joe that Obama trailed Clinton late in 2007.

[oakville]

Joe said that Kamala Harris hasn't done much since announcing for President.

Katty said that Biden is focused on beating Trump.

Joe said that Obama was branded like Coke or Pepsi.

Joe started talking about soap brands.

I tried, really tried, to stay watching the show today. But, there was so much silliness, everyone talking over each other, unimportant chatter, that I bailed. Kudos to those of you that stayed until the end!!!

Out of state students aren’t allowed to vote anymore, so NH might look different this time around.

So, I started watching again around 8:30am. Maybe the show got serious? Jeremy Peters wrote a book, Noah Rothman, with his " smirkey"  smile was sitting next to  Rev. Al. Was anything of substance discussed? Loving the "soap" comments, and play on words. 

[suomi]

I think it started when they were going to discuss Don Jr's situation and showed a photo of his new look and got into how repulsive he looks with a beard and how both of the Trump boys are wearing beards now.

Donnie said beards are yeah, no and don't look clean. Someone said Donnie always looks and smells clean and he said whoever it is that stocks his bathroom (WTF?) stocks Dove so he has used it for years.

Joey said Mika uses nothing but Spic n Span (which she Did Not think was funny) and it went on from there.

Meeka should demand that Joe boycott the Red Sox until they buy her Know Your Value Book and attend one of her seminars.

[oakville]

Joe demanded that Benedetti boycott the White House visit.

Why does Joe demand that others make political statements ?

It is so hypocritical for them to deny players the right to visit the White House after they showed up at Mar A Largo on New Year's Eve after the election.

I wonder what her rating is in Mosco??

[oakville]

Mika said the Obamas couldn't wait to get out of Washington. She complained that they were too hard to get to.

Mika really likes Jill Biden & is happy that she wants to go back to the White House.

Joe is upset that the last 3 Presidents have contempt for Washington.

Mika & Joe have contempt for the studios where they are supposed to work.

They are there this week for their own outside activities.

The Obamas actually live in Washington, DC.  President Obama was never Joe’s favorite because he didn’t seek Joe’s approval. Joe & Mika were Trumpists from the start and would still be if they could. Joe enjoys thinking of himself as influencing politics like he influences NBC.

Ah so Noah Rothman was on eh?  That explains the syrup-y Tweet he sent out about what a great show MJ is and how they are allowed to express their opinions in detail.  I would ask Noah if he's ever seen/heard the show but there is photo evidence the answer is sadly yes.

Joe's book "The Last Best Hope" asserts:

• How the “candidate of change” has not only maintained but accelerated the reckless spending policies that led us to this historic economic collapse

• How Barack Obama’s stimulus plan devolved into a socialist spending spree that would make FDR and LBJ shudder

Well, at least this week ended with some fun! You guys are hilarious. I can't wait to see what next week will bring. Oh, silly me, it will be more plugs for "the book of the year" and more of Joe's insane rants. How does Willie keep his sanity?? Happy Weekend to All.

I watch Morning Joe when I'm getting ready for work in the morning and have for quite some time just to check in on what's going on in politics as the morning shows on the regular networks are like a 3-ring circus..  I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how Joe and Mika got married or can possibly live together without driving each other nuts.  Joe can be obnoxious and doesn't seem to know when to shut up.  Just once I'd like someone on the panel to tell him that and let someone else talk and not be continuously interruped.  Although, to be fair, this seems to be Standard Operating Procedure with many other hosts (Chris Wallace, Nicole Wallace, Ari Melber, etc.)  Mika always comes across as a humorless pain in the butt.  It's a three-hour show!  If the men want to spend 5 minutes talking about sports or pop culture, let them.  It doesn't have to be politics or "Know Your Value" 24/7.  I was shocked when Joe mentioned the other morning that Mika doesn't like movies.  Really?  You don't have to be a fanatic, but maybe if she had a well-rounded personality and took enjoyment in things other then politics 24/7, like say, movies, sports, pop culture, music; she might not come across as so unlikable.  The minute any of the men on the panel start talking about sports or anything else other than politics, she constantly interrupts to try and change the subject.  I find it really annoying.  Why am I not surprised she has a low Q rating? She needs to lighten up.

She does have a high BS rating, though.

[Chloesmom]

Ok apparently Joe stayed up too late maybe watching GoT and is wearing glasses today which really accentuates his beady little eyes.  I guess a whole week of KYV wasn't quite enough for Meeks as she and Joe had to congratulate themselves on what a fabulous job they are doing but Joe clearly didn't read through his script beforehand as he had quite a fews stumbles through their monologue.

Love me some Mike Schmidt and it was great to see him this morning along with his reporting but I wish he would give Joe back his fleece jacket . . . 😞

This was quoted just now via Clyde Haberman (Maggie's dad):

Jimmy Breslin’s description of Giuliani must always be kept in mind, for it is eternally true: “a small man in search of a balcony.”

Perfect.

[oakville]

The important topics so far today are Mika's KYV, Liverpool Football,Basketball & the Red Sox.

Joe complained about tariffs on imported goods.

Joe said Biden has a strong lead in South Carolina.

Joe made fun of Felicity Huffman for pleading guilty during the college admission scandal.

Joe made fun of Trump supporters who now oppose immigration.

Joe was making fun of Felicity Huffman?  Classic.  At least she knows how to own her mistakes and not blame others unlike the co-hosts of the show.  Geez.

[oakville]

Joe wants the lower ranked candidates for the nomination to run for the Senate. Joe wants the 1% polling candidates to give up & run against the GOP Senators.

Joe wants Stacy Abrams to run for Senate.

Joe mocked reporters who like the Blue Wall. Mika liked Joe's Boss Hogg accent.

[oakville]

Michael Steele laughed at Joe's jokes.

Michael Steele wants Democrats to win at all levels.

[oakville]

Joe complained about Blue checkmark Democrats who are focused on identity politics.
