Is someone forcing Mika to go sit in Emergency Rooms and expose herself to sick people?

No, this is just her interpretation of "smartly and alertly analyzing the news".

[nittany cougar]

Mika is excited that Joe Biden won in Michigan and Mississippi.  North Dakota is too close to call.  Biden has 836 delegates and Bernie 686. Joe thinks this is incredible.

Both candidates canceled events due to Corona virus.  Some states are red, and others are yellow on the Corona map.  There is a cluster in Westchester County, NY.

Wow, they are going to get some medical experts on the show. Has hell frozen over?  They are admitting they don't know everything.

Joe says there are no tests.  My question is, if there are no tests, how are people testing positive?   MIka said other countries are doing better than us because more people have the opportunity to test positive for COVID.

Mika blames the government for not stopping the containment of Corona virus.

She interviewed Dr Leana Wen, a professor of medicine from George Washington University Med School.  Dr. Wen cautioned that some events will be canceled.  

I find this coverage very vague and alarming.  

I cannot do this panic shit all the time.  I ride the DC Metro every day. 

Mika told Dr. Wen that she doesn't understand.  Shocker.

An hour of the word/phrase slurs and missteps would be time worth spent. Thank you The Daily Show for this morning's episode. 

Will some please buy Kornacki a pair of pants?

[oakville]

Kornacki said that turnout among young people was lower than expected which helped Biden.

 

Willie said that if Biden can win Michigan,Wisconsin & Pennsylvania, he will win the election.

[oakville]

Joe is happy that turnout is higher in 2020.

Biden is winning in black neighborhoods.

Friend of the show, Ron Fournier is back. He was a regular panelist in 2016. He hated Hillary Clinton.

He said that Trump is driving turnout among Democrats.

Joe said Hillary had too much baggage to win in 2016.

 

Joe said he wasn't cheering for Biden in NH. He felt bad for him after knowing him for 25 years.

Barnicle said that Biden symbolizes humanity & empathy.

[oakville]

Joe said that Trump is freaked out about running against Biden.

Fournier said that Trump's behavior is Biden's best asset.

[oakville]

Mika said that hospitals could be swamped in 10 days.

Dr Dave said that people should visit the website coronavirus.gov

Mika wants more tests. Mika doesn't want people to go to hospitals for the tests.

 

[oakville]

The Dr Wen from Baltimore said that there is only 100K intensive care beds in the USA but the virus could end up filling 200K beds.

 

[oakville]

The clips of Trump's gaffes were hilarious.

[oakville]

Joe warned Trump about showing Biden's gaffes because Trump's gaffes are worse.

Mika was quoting former Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossert. She didn't come up with all this hospital information on her own.

I hate when Joe, Mika and  Willie try to be so knowledgeable about things they know nothing about.  We are not that stupid. 

The 7:30 - 7:45 segment with Claire McCaskill and Kurt Bardella was very good. I like when Claire gets indignant.

Yes, that is correct. I couldn't recall who she was quoting.

Heilmann said that Sanders supporter don't want Bernie to get out of the race.

Heilemann said that Sanders still wants to debate Biden on Sunday.

Take an ambien Mika.  I think you were better at sharply analyzing and reporting the news when you were stoned off your butt.  I like you better a little loopy and not so hysterical.

Oh For Fuck Sake Shut up.  It sounds to me like Meeks got a part time gig in the Jupiter Memorial Hospital gift shop or something.  

Can someone call Gov of FL and have him quarantine Jupiter? And invoke a 2 week long communication black out? 

[oakville]

Joe said that Biden could put together the Obama coalition to win back the White House.

They showed more clip of Trump wandering around played to music. It was very funny.

 

[oakville]

Mika is worried about New Rochelle being contained. People will be allowed out of the area.

Willie should STFU. He doesn't know what he's talking about. 

He should also stay away from Kornacki and his board.

I am hoping for Mika's sake that the inability to read a TelepromtHer isn't a symptom of coronavirus.  This AM she stumbled on "information."  GEEZ

ITA. She needs to stick to her specialty crises, like accidental boobage flashing at the office or cake shortages, and leave the public health crises for the grown ups. I just can't with her. She's unhinged and her murmurings are not worth my time.

[teddysmom]

Her voice is getting so high when she freaks out about remote testing sites I'm starting to think only dogs can hear her and my poor Buddy will start howling.   (Yes I got a new sweet baby boy!!) 

Mika:

BUT, DR  WEN WHAT ABOUT TESTING!!! WHAT IF SOME WASHED UP BASIC RANDO IS SITTING THERE SNEEZING AND I HAVE TO DRAG BEBOP'S SORRY ASS IN TO GET HER BLOOD THINNING MEDICINE CHECK???   I SWEAR TO GOD IF SOMEONE DOESN'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AND I HAVE TO START PUTTING THE AMBIEN DIRECTLY IN THE CAKE SO I CAN SLEEP AT NIGHT!! 

Dr Wen:  I'm sorry did you say something I just hear a lot of high pitched noises like a smoke alarm. 

 

[oakville]

Joe said that he was right about African American voters supporting Joe Biden. None of the other candidates were able to attract support.

In fairness to Joe, he has been consistent about African Americans supporting Biden.

The clips of Trump's gaffes were hilarious.

Especially when he couldn't find his way off the podium and people were chasing after him. It looks like Mike Pence's main job is to usher him in the correct direction after he has made a wrong turn.

When Mika went from the usual inane murmurs to shrill, pressured speech I began to feel sorry for anyone who lives with her.

Oh I know but I will not pass up an opportunity to make fun of him.  Because so many times he claims he said it all along when we have the receipts.

They originally aired that montage in December 2018 backed by The Allman Brothers' "Ramblin' Man." Today's viewing was accompanied by Dion's The Wanderer. They are equally funny. My very favorite clip is when he climbed the long, long set of stairs to Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe. I guess it wasn't included because technically it is not rambling or wandering. Heh.

I wonder if VP Mike Pence will ever write a book about working with President Trump ?

He must have so many stories about Trump's weird behavior.

Thanks Suomi!. I was trying to figure out what song they were playing today.

I hope they play more gaffe clips. We could use some comic relief.

I remember when Willie had his own segment of funny clips called "News you can't use"

This is the funniest thing I read all day. I was laughing so hard I almost choked on the slice of cheese I was eating at the time.

And I’m happy to hear that you got a new dog.

WHO has declared a global pandemic.   The president has announced a travel ban from Europe.

The United States ranks eighth in Corona virus cases.  Mika is doing her excited news reading.    Sports are cancelled.  Tom Hanks has Corona virus. 

Honestly everyone kind of looks tired this morning.  Constant panic will do that.  Joe said he agrees with the president that we are in it together, but Trump's address did not reassure people.  

Mika is shaking her head and making faces like a petulant asshat.  Does Mika blame the president for Tom Hanks' illness?  

Joe says we need testing.  I am still wondering how people have tested positive if there are no tests available.

I think Meacham expects us: the public, the voters, the citizens of the US, to have amnesia in November. 

And for Christ sakes,  Meacham,  stop trying to compare him to Churchill. 

[nittany cougar]

Willie, Barnicle and Lemire interviewed a Johns Hopkins public health specialist.  His name is Amesh Adalga?  The doctor said we have to watch in our communities to see if the virus progresses.  He said it is a good idea to distance yourself from large gatherings.  That was very informative, thanks to the lack of Mika. 

After the interview, Joe and Mika chimed in.  Mika did another useless emotional rant.  Joe said we need social distancing.  Joe did you listen to the doctor who just said exactly that?  My God you idiot.

They should take these two jackasses off the air when there is an actual news event that is not political. 

[oakville]

Joe was happy that Trump called the virus a pandemic. He is taking it seriously.

Joe's friend is a physician . He told Joe that half of his patients believe the virus is a hoax.

Joe is mad at Trump's conspiracy theories.

 

[oakville]

Mika wants coronavirus patients segregated from others in the hospital. Isn't that obvious ?

Mika & Joe should distance themselves by working from separate parts of the breakfast nook.

Stephanie Ruhle is wearing one of Mika's dresses from her "flirting with Joe" period. Mika must have left a few in the dressing room.

She is very feisty on air.

[oakville]

Mika was upset that someone landed at Palm Beach airport with the virus.

This is the airport that Mika & Joe use!.

Mika & Joe should demand that their private jet access be restored.

Mika's KYV seminars could be cancelled.

I agree.  Mika seems to lack control of her emotions.  Her demeanor these last few days is unprofessional for an *alleged* news show.

Thank you! I am too. He is an angel. I'll post a pic in Small Talk (because I'm like a parent with a new baby) 

 

[oakville]

Meacham compared this crisis to Plato & Aristotle. It's a struggle between fear & liberty.

Joe talked to a CEO last night of a major Fortune 500 company.He told Joe that more people would die from the Coronavirus than 9/11.

This is the first time I've been able to tolerate Steph in a while. She was making a lot of sense and her hair looked good as did the dress.  

1 minute ago, oakville said:

And Joe "spoke to several doctors" (I know they have a friend but this is like his CIA source, FBI source, leaders of countries BS) He  got out his AMA directory and started calling doctors til he got one to talk to him. Unfortunately it was this guy. 

[oakville]

Joe made fun of Meacham using the term Panglossian. Meacham said they didn't teach that word at Vanderbilt or the University of Alabama.

[oakville]

Jeremy Peters criticized Fox News for having some host call the virus a hoax.

Joe said there should be more guard rails on hosts that say irresponsible things.

 

[oakville]

Mika mentioned that Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison. They brought the on Dave Aronberg from Palm Beach county to discuss the case.

Morning Joe has more guests from Palm Beach county than any other cable tv show.

He said it was an appropriate sentence.

Mika was shocked that he did not express any remorse.

Mika did not mention her relationship with Weinstein. Joe was absent from the set during the interview.

This pattern right here says A LOT about the skeletons in Joe’s closet.

[oakville]

Mika made fun of Sarah Palin going on the Masked Singer tv show while Trump was speaking.

She used her sarcastic tone of saying this was the GOP's VP nominee in 2008.

Mika forgets at how supportive she was of Palin when she was nominated. Mika was excited that a working mom with a baby could be VP.

Joe doesn't want people on twitter wasting time blaming China for their slow response to the virus.

[tres bien]

We are read another tweet from Tom Bossert.

I like him but I'm also pissed off at him. I wish MJ would not read tweets from former trump administration officials

Oh Christ!  Doesn't Joe realize that that's something Trump would have, and has said!

I'm surprised that Ms KNV (not to be confused with KY) hasn't said anything about Bombshell, out in Redbox this week.  If you ever think you have an awful job ladies, watch it!
