Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk

Joe used to debate with Mika before they made they announced their relationship to the public. Pat Buchanan was a regular panelist during the first years of the show & had similar political positions to Donald Trump. Joe & Pat liked to debate issues.

The show had guests from both political parties & discussed non political topics on a regular basis.

Joe has become increasingly frustrated with anyone in the media that doesn't agree with his fluctuating views on issues. He is very thin skinned.

Joe should be careful about pounding the table too hard. Mika uses the other side of the desk. It is custom made for the breakfast nook.

MSNBC will not pay to replace the desk if Joe breaks it.

 

Mika can't be Joe's debate partner, they don't have that we love each other/respect each other vibe like James Carville and Mary Matlin. 

He's too angry and aggressive in a not flattering way. And sending Mika out to defend him against people on FOX is a very bad look. Do it yourself looser if it's so God damm important that you couldn't just ignore Sean Hannity. 

 Pat Buchanan was good here (and on CNN). Even at his most annoying,  I always admired him for adding a snarky chuckle. 

And there were the old Scarbrough days with Ron Reagan. Good times!

Joe thinks the president is under siege.  Jonathan Lemire said the president gave lethal recommendations to the public.

Jonathan Lemire said that the president walked out of a briefing on Friday without taking questions.  The president is expected to attend a briefing today.

Joe is going through his spiel of crap that Trump said two months ago.  This is Joe's workhorse "analysis" because he is too fucking lazy to  come up with new things every day. He is just going to do these talking points.

Joe is probably one of those jerks who tells the same "funny" story over and over and gets pissed if you don't laugh.

John Heileman says people ate Tide pods and drank bleach because of the president.

Mika got our a few single words: “insulting”, “incompetent “, then rallied by quoting a sentence from Joe’s Instagram account.  Now getting tremulous about Dr. Birx.

Mika is pissed that Dr. Birx answered a question of the president's.  Mika called Trump a moron.  Mika attempted to identify with Dr. Birx's professional accomplishments.  Mika, a hero for all women!

Good for Mika. I was waiting for her to scream KYV!

For a short time I did feel sorry for Dr Brix and the position she's been put in but that all disappeared when she showed up on news shows defending and rationalizing the injection of disinfectants.

It would be helpful if those clips had been shown too.

I saw this briefly and thought the same. It's just same shit different day. 

My sister said Heileman was on fire. I watched the series finale of Homeland, as I know what has happened the last two months and I don't need Professor Doucheborough and Skreech to recite it over again....and again....and again.

"Skreech" will never fail to make me laugh.

Most women would hear hubby tell an old story at a party AGAIN, roll their eyes, and go get another drink.  Mika makes everyone come in the room and listen to Joe regale them with his bullshit.

Joe spends several hours per year working on talking points that he can use for months on his show. His contract allows him to repeat the talking points for a minimum of 100 episodes.

Joe's favorite talking point last year was "African American women voting in the rain".

During the Obama presidency, he complained that President Obama was aloof & refused to shmooze with other Democrats & Republicans on Capitol Hill.

Joe used to brag on a daily basis how he convinced President Clinton & Newt Gingrich to balance the budget when he was elected to Congress.

If MSNBC had a series like ESPN's "30 for 30", Joe would have a special running like that new one about the Bulls & Jordan.  He's a Legend, except just in his mind. 

Instead of Morning Joe, let's rename the show "Breakfast with Bozos", or "Bagels & Buffoons".

Is it just me or did Mika's top that she wore under her sweater/blazer this morning look suspiciously like a nightgown/pajama top?  What does it say that I could see her justify not bothering since she's at home anyway?

[ButterQueen]

Mika is copying Rachel Maddow.  Black sweater everyday.....today with the same summer top underneath she wore last week.

I’m enjoying Joe’s rants.....he speaks for me.

How does anyone know about the homemade breakfast nook table they use?

My DH is at end stage cancer and he still listens to this show.  He enjoys everyone.  I will soon miss sharing it with him.  😢😢

Stay safe everyone.
 

 

[Kemper]

Oh my gosh, I poked Mr. Kemper this morning and told him that Meeka was wearing her pajama top! And what was draped over it? A robe? Sweater? Blanket? What on earth was she thinking? There is no way she thought that “outfit” would look good on tv.

At first I thought she was wearing a Lily Pulitzer top because of the color but then I thought it looked like a bathing suit top.

But then I felt bad judging her because I'm wearing pajamas at 6 am!

I am very sorry to hear about your DH's health situation. Hopefully, you will get to spend more time with him.

The breakfast nook table was shown a few months ago because Mika & Joe were sitting next to each other. They still sit at the table together despite having separate cameras & occasionally Mika will look over at Joe when he is yelling.

The table is  made of shatter proof glass and was specifically designed to withstand Joe's hand pounding on the table. The manufacturer said that the table could survive Joe's reaction from President Trump getting re elected .

I'm so sorry.

My mom and I used to bond over hate-watching "Morning Joe." I remember her calling me up one day and saying, "Eliot...what is Mika for?"

I said, "You mean, like, what causes does she support?"

"No. I mean...what is she THERE for? What is her purpose?"

We puzzled over that for a while and never quite came up with the answer.

It's a fond memory. Probably one reason I still watch the show; just so I can imagine how she'd be reacting.

The Washington Post reports that briefings warned the president about coronavirus.  It was allegedly "repeatedly cited."

Joe blames the president for comparing coronavirus to the flu. 

Joe had a guest on the show in February who compared coronavirus to the flu. Joe and Mika won't mention that. 

Someone must have told Joe to have a more serious demeanor.  He is acting a lot more sober and is not doing his " jokes" about the president.  Mika is also acting more serious and isn't doing the side comments.  I am shocked that these two assholes are acting serious.  It is hilarious watching these clowns try to pretend like they are serious news people.

Joe asked John Meacham how historians will assess the situation 10 years from now.  Well, ask him in 10 years, you moron.  Joe seems mentally challenged by behaving like an adult.

Joe really loves his Vietnam War comparisons.  

Mika claims to know the magnitude of death and destruction of Covid.  Solemn Mika is so moving and powerful.

Mika said that Trump can't read.  Pot, meet kettle.

Even Willie gets into the ridiculousness.

I'm picturing a PDB that looks a stick figures comic strip.

Is it my imagination, or does Joe duck out of the studio on a disproportionately large number of interviews with women?

Mika has really stepped up her off camera "umm, right, where are the tests?" game.

YOU AREN'T HOSTING A TV SHOW!!!! You are allowed to wear your pajamas! 

I wonder if Mika's depression has gotten worse.  I know I went thru a period the last few weeks where being one of 2 people at the office, I was not going to get all dolled up. And we have very casual dress code. But last week or so I got sick of looking like crap and I'm making the effort to put on minimal makeup and flat iron my hair, etc. 

Mika hosts a tv show. The other women are working from home and I notice they are foregoing the false eyelashes and contouring, but they all have clothes on. She is pulling a big heavy cardigan over a sleep camisole or something.  Get your shit together, woman.

This is true. I remember how he made Mika read the decision by MSNBC to suspend Mark Halperin for his behavior at ABC despite Joe's  initial objections before the decision was made.

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/morning-joe-addresses-halperin-story-we-pray-for-our-friend-but-well-cover-this-story/

Joe has frequently recommended that men obtain non disclosure agreements from their victims .

Mika & Joe were furious with the  White House Correspondent Dinner' s comedian Ms Wolfe when she joked about about Mika & Joe's relationship being a #MeToo relationship that worked out.

Mika has laryngitis.  She sounds terrible.

Joe says that Trump supporters are acting like this is the ninth inning of the game against coronavirus.  

Willie reminded us that the death toll has surpassed the total of people killed in Vietnam.  I'm expecting to tune in one day and see footage of NBC coverage of Vietnam.

John Heileman is mad at people for pointing out that a lot of the field hospitals were not used.

Joe is doing his same talking points about January. Joe does this weird shit where he tells you about the alleged beliefs of Trump supporters/ Republicans and then attacks it with his "truth."   It is nice to have Joe to tell us what everyone thinks.

They showed a poll that found that 55 percent of Americans trust Biden to handle a pandemic. 

A poll shows that people think Biden cares about people like them.

Joe and Mika should get Joe Biden on the show for a live interview.

Mika talked about the losses of the Vietnam war. She is disappointed in the president.

Joe claims that 85 percent of people don't want schools back.

I can assure Joe that my friends who are home schooling small kids and working full time do want schools back as soon as it's possible. I am not saying that it's safe now, just saying a lot of parents are having a hard time being home teachers.

Joe probably doesn't help with home schooling so it doesn't bother him.

Ha!. I will never forget the special episode of Morning Joe filmed in Alabama when Mika went up to a very young Jack who was sitting on a stool at the diner they were filming the show at and put her hands in his hair very affectionately. Jack was confused & his mom , Susan Scarborough gave Mika the look of death!

I suspect that Susan knew that Mika wanted Jack to be comfortable with her as a future step mom.

Joe is going to be on fire this morning. The president took a brutal shot at him last night on twitter.

“The president was tweeting yesterday, among other things, the conspiracy theory about Joe being a murderer,” said Brzezinski, who then read a statement on Scarborough’s behalf because of his longstanding refusal to respond to Trump tweets.

Joe claims to know that the president is in cognitive decline.  This is according to Joe's research and observations as a medical professional.

It's not a secret that this a show about nothing.  But it's been confirmed when more than five minutes is spent on showing clips from the Daily Show (which were pathetic not funny) and then random clips of trump being steered off stage.
