Mika was puzzled about The Virginia poll that shows that 58% of African Americans want Northam to stay in office.

This would not be the first instance where a group of voters is willing to overlook a politician's personal shortcomings for the sake of advancing policies they support.

Joe is mad at Trump for encouraging autocrats. Joe wants a leader with foreign policy experience. Joe forgot to mention that Hillary Clinton had more foreign experience knowldedge than Trump.

Kasie was shocked that Warren said that Trump might be in jail by 2021.

Kasie made a Star Wars joke about Klobuchar announcing on Goth !

I feel bad for the guests that show up in the Morning Joe Wayfair Green Room in NY. Willie isn't there to greet them.

Was the Bezos/National Enquirer story furthered at all this morning?  I listened for a bit, but Joe was being an ass and derailing all topics and interrupting, so I just changed the channel.  Did anyone with a bit of knowledge or insight get a chance to speak uninterrupted?
The national enquirer said that her brother leaked the photos, but Mika thinks the President did?

I skipped through part of this segment due to Joe's interruptions.

Joe did say that AMI is in big trouble for breaking the plea agreement by blackmailing Bezos.

Joe called Trump the laziest President in history with his Executive Time.

I wonder who was in that sample and were they mostly from the Richmond area.  As an African American living in VA, my head is still exploding from all this mess and I just wish someone would ask me what I think of him.   They would get an earful (mostly expletives).

I find it hilarious that Joe, the guy who literally works from his own basement, criticizes Trump for being lazy. 

Joe, you work 2.5 hours a day. From your own house!  When you bother to show up.  Just like Trump!!!  FFS dude, this is the pot calling the kettle black.

He is ranting and raving about Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton this morning.  5 minutes of it, and it's 6:05am.  "You know why they chant 'lock her up,' right?  She ran thee. most. corrupt. state. department in history."  Aaaaaand, I'm out.  fuck this.

Willie's face is pretty special, though.  Joe is high on coffee screaming about Hillary Clinton and Willie has a thousand yard stare, probably imagining what life has in store after this shit show ends and he can live on a Polynesian beach where Joe Scarborough is only a memory.

I’m watching bits and pieces this morning but it seems like pretty much Joe just shouting that his observations and opinions are better than anyone else’s and using trendy words ( Trump is using every trope. The Republicans are talking about every trope.). (Check my cred in Israel! Check my cred on Israel!)

Catching up with the show from snowy Oakville. As I predicted, Mika & Joe stayed in Florida today.

Joe is ranting about Trump using Hillary's "Stronger Together" slogan & inviting Hillary to his wedding to Melania.

Willie is stuck in NY with Barnicle

Joe now says that Democrats will have an uphill battle to beat Trump in 2020.

Joe has spent the last 2 years saying Trump will quit, be impeached , removed due to incapacity etc. The GOP is doomed etc.

Now "its an uphill battle"??

Mika's facial reactions to Joe's rant about Hillary is hilarious.

Mika is in New York... I'm guessing Joe is probably staying behind with his kid today and then following tomorrow, so there may be in-studio shows this week. If this means some exec has now decided to force them to spend at least 50% in studio, this cracks me up because by thinking they could get away with a permanent move they've actually trapped themselves into the world's most complicated commuting arrangement haha.

I wonder if Mika has inducted other female panellists into her Cult of the Black Shirt. Noticed several other panelists wearing black yesterday and today Yamiche. I'm sure she thinks she's making some complicated feminist point but she's actually just making the whole setup even more depressing than it already was. Good lord.

Mika in NY? without Joe. No wonder she is wearing black!

Joe is mad at Omar for anti semitic remarks. He want her to apologize again. He said he wants her to do better.

Joe said he was a strong defender of Israel when he was in Congress.

Joe is ranting about Trump making anti muslim comments.

I didn't see the show this morning; but I got an email from a friend asking what I thought of Meeka's "reaction" to things.  Since she kind of likes Meeka, I didn't ask if she preened and batted the eyelashes; or thrust her chest out.  Were her reactions any different than usual?  I am assuming the reactions were due to Joe's ranting and raving?

I really don't need Joe giving me whiplash at 6 am.

His change in the political landscape because of the governor of VA pissed me off.

Besides, why should Dems listen to Joe. His party is all in for do whatever, say whatever and never back down.

2/12/2019: *READ ME; POLICY CLARIFICATION*

With the site update, @17wheatthins and I thought an updated note on political talk would be useful for everyone. Hopefully this will clear up some of the confusion that's been going on.

Per the site rules:

"Where a show itself has *political content (e.g. Morning Joe) -- political discussion will be allowed ONLY as it relates to the show.

*For the purposes of PreviouslyTV, 'political content' is defined as discussion of actual politicians and political entities (Congress, Parliament, etc) and their actions, comments or opinions. General discussion of hot-button political issues, as long as it's related to show content, is a-ok."

Specific rules for Morning Joe include no name-calling, for example, do not use terms such as Cheetolini, the orange one, deplorables, etc. You can call an idea/law/proposal dumb/idiotic/etc., but don't call politicians that. Joe and Mika and any nonpolitical guests are fair game. (Remember the hosts have their [url=https://forums.previously.tv/topic/87160-joe-and-mika-know-their-value-the-hosts-thread/?page=8&tab=comments#comment-5046235Please don't quote posts that include any of this—you can edit out any text that is counter to these rules.

We do allow some leeway here, as we are trying not to derail the flow of discussion in the threads, but we don't want things to go too far off-topic.

As always, if you have any questions, please PM the mods, @17wheatthins and @dubbel zout.

Joe makes me laugh now that he considers himself to be highly qualified to advise Democrats on who they should pick for President in 2020.

Joe's new talking point is to mention all the states that Trump won along the Mississippi river.

Joe said that Democrats have to follow Bill Clinton's strategy in 1992.

I watched for about 8 minutes this morning and caught the segment in question.   It was indeed a joke.  The thing is, it didn't seem at all like a joke or hyperbole at the outset.   It seemed like more of the Hillary bashing these two are known for.   I very nearly switched off before he got to the "oh wait, that's Donald Trump's administration" punchline, because the attitude, tone and tenor of the content were right in step with his previous rants against Hillary.

I suppose I should have stuck in there through the 4 minute run up to the punch line.  Listening to him rant is a tough row to hoe, though.  And he's said the exact same thing non-ironically in the past.  He's a mixed bag, our Joe.
 

Later in the show as i watched from the gym, Barnicle asked Victoria DeFrancesco why white Texans support trump.  She was nonplussed by the comment.  And said, "Well, outside of Austin and El Paso, Texas is very very conservative.  It's deeply red.  It is a very conservative state."  I guarantee she was thinking "Someone should help that poor old man back to his recliner."

In answer to your question, yes.

Boring stories of

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Wednesday recap. Joe is in Florida. He said Feb 14 is a special day because spring training for the red sox opens in FT Myers. Mika got upset.

Joe & Mika are discussing Manafort & the Mueller probe. They are making fun of Trump for not getting full funding for the Wall.

Joe said he knows the constitution. You can't use executive action to appropriate money.

Joe brought up the clip about Trump joking about Jewish people being skilled negotiatators.

Mika acknowledged that Congressman Omar's tweets about Jews were horrible.

Mika & Joe said Trump was a hypocrite because he insults other ethnic groups.

Mika, Benjamins was referring to the money AIPAC members donate to Congress, and to Benjamin Netanyahu. She didn't say "boy those Jews love money, don't they?"  THAT would be a hateful anti Semitic trope.

It's actually the members of Congress who love the money they're getting, and in turn voting to keep supporting Netanyahu. 

 But go ahead and conflate what she said, grasp your imaginary pearls and act all aghast.  Instead of actually looking into the situation with Israel.  American Jews even acknowledge that a two state solution is needed.  

You're an idiot.

Joe started off the show with a long rant against Democrats for over reaching. Trump's popularity is up to 44%.. Democrats should listen to Nancy Pelosi.

First time I've heard/listened to Pete Buttigieg....very impressed. I'm not sure the MJ dopes knew what to make of him.

ITA.    I loved how he shut Joe's abortion bullshit down.

What is with Joe Scarborough and this obsession?  Joe, women are not getting pregnant, carrying the baby til 3-4 weeks before their due date and then saying, "you know what? I think I really don't want this baby after all".  For fuck sake you moron, these are babies that have very little if any chance of living, and they aren't being "killed", they just aren't being put on long term life support.  And sometimes in the later term, the doctor determines the fetus isn't going to make it to term and they end the pregnancy. But if Joe thinks this is like returning a sweater that you didn't like once you got home, his head is further up his ass than even I though possible. 

My head did officially explode with Mika's new Know Your Value for the youngs.  The Amazon description is hilarious.  "Advice from kickass young entrepreneurs".  Mika really is up on all the hip new lingo.

Yep. However, if you are being paid to host a daily news show...you should be required to live within commuting distance of the show.  No perks given to your tax situation or family situation.  Unless the family situation is an emergency.

Is it me or is it getting harder to tune in every day?  Same lectures or rants given by the hosts (when they are actually on camera); Willy doing the heavy lifting.  Lots of the same guests bringing the same conversation.
