Did Joe even mention the name 'Mika' today?  Are we not supposed to notice that she's not there?  Or are we not supposed to care.  A long long time ago couldn't Joe - or somebody - have said, "Mika will be taking a month (or 4) off for book tour/piggy bonding/rehab" and squelched the speculation in the bud?

MJ seems to be dying a slow, prolonged death.  It should just be put out of its misery at this point.

Nope, no mention of Meeks.  I think folks have gotten used to her not joining the show so they've probably entered into the there's nothing to see her portion of the timeline.

"Changing negatively, everyday" defines my existence since November 9, 2016, so I too feel validated by the panel's anger.   My business has fallen off dramatically.  Customers have been telling me fo

I am tired of Joe and Mika and Halperin and Geist telling me how unlikable Hillary is. I like her just fine. In fact, the more they tell me how unlikable she is, the more I like her, just to spite the

And here we go again...Joe (and others) bemoaning what has become of "their" party.  Hello!  Your party has been going this route for years...with the culmination of The Tea Party and the racist tone it set.  I think Joe bashed Obama almost every day with ... just in my opinion... "hate" undertones in the bashing.

So to quote Julia Sugarbaker..."If the world hasn't turned out quite the way you wanted, you only have yourself to thank for it" ---  I know I probably didn't get that exactly right.  And there is no way you can have a talk or discussion type of show when most of the parties, and especially the host, are not present at the desk.  Geez, what a waste of three hours; if you cannot appreciate your good fortune in being paid to host a relevant, entertaining three hours every day (and most people would), then you should find another line of work.  I am SO FRUSTRATED with the wasteland this show has become.  And what a wasted opportunity for the network.

Wow they have managed to rally up Heilemann, a Vanity Fair reporter, and an older man on set!  This show is so bizarre. And they gave the VF reporter like 3 minutes to say essentially nothing about Cohen. 

They’re doing that thing where the have a commercial break, come back for Joe to read who is coming up in the next hour (gonna be packed!) and then back to more commercials. 

It’s funny flipping to CNN and flipping back. The contrast seems so stark.

I'm so tired of hearing Joe bash Hillary as the "worst candidate ever in the history of politics." First of all, for someone who was such a terrible candidate she managed to trounce Trump in the popular vote.

Secondly, can you look at the candidates the Dems have fielded over the past few decades and honestly say that she was a worse candidate that John Kerry (with that cringeworthy "reporting for duty" salute at the Democratic convention) or Mike Dukakis (looking like Snoopy in the tank)? I mean, REALLY?

Oy. Keith Morrison looks like the grim reaper.

Check out Bill Hader's Keith Morrison impression on Saturday Night Live.   He nails it.

And I’ve noticed Elise Jordan is edging back into the Trump camp since Rand Paul became one of Trump’s new chums. 

Rand Paul.   I hope somebody pulls the rug out from over him.

I loved it when his Democratic opponent cracked "Rand Paul can be beaten -- just ask his neighbor."

I heard the voice, somewhat familiar, and thought, "could it be?"!  Yes, Meeeka!!!

My thoughts exactly!!  And she sounds righteously indignant too!  Girl's come roaring back.   Of course, we're only 10 minutes in; she'll find a way to f*ck it up somehow.  She always does.

Personally I find it highly suspicious that Joe is off today at the same time Avenatti is aggressively roaming the airwaves.  If Meeks was wearing her red dress I would think she has Joe tied up in his bunker . . . :)

You know where my mind went with this, right?

I have to give Mika credit - she’s brought a needed jolt of energy to the show. Her time off seemed to have been good for her - she’s sharp and focused. 

Mika is better on her own than when she’s smothered by Joe’s huge ego and views.

So far this show is crisper, and more informative than it’s been for a while.

Totally agree.  When Mika is on her game like today, I love watching the show.  It's a shame that those two can't seem to co-exist on air anymore without devolving into a passive aggressive version of the Bickersons.

Why can't this Mika show up when Joe is there??  When he's sitting beside her, she just cowers.   Her head lowers, she clams up, she adds nothing to the conversation.  But take him out of the picture and she comes alive.  It's positively transformative.  Can she really be this seriously unaware as to not notice this herself?  And why would she want to hitch herself to a man who so clearly intimidates her so publicly?   I.Do.Not.Get.It.

She is doing a fabulous job this morning.  (Now there's a sentence I thought I'd never type).  I especially appreciate how she asks a question then lets the panelist speak, uninterrupted.  Who knew such a thing could even happen on MSNBC, where all the hosts seem to have studied under the insufferable Chris Matthews.  Her boyfriend is the prime example of that.   (Joe "Hold on!  Hold on!" Scarborough.  ?)

I wouldn't even mind if they shit-canned Joe and went with Morning Mika.  Yes I know that's a fantasy, but a girl can dream, can't she?

I agree with this.  I think she’s in awe of him as she seemed to be with her father.   She still doesn’t know her value because she needs what she sees as a powerful man to give her esteem.  

I remember a segment when she interviewed Chris Matthews and she was clearly in awe.  I’d never seen him before and the segment didn’t make me rush to the website to watch.  

Also today’s show has so many more women contributors, which is very refreshing too.
