Mika's "on air" wardrobe looks like my "Take Buddy out to pee first thing" wardrobe. 

What the fuck is she wearing? A pajama top and that sloppy ass sweater?  

Mika, Gap has great, soft professional looking long and short sleeve teeshirts, grey, black, burgundy, coral. I have them in all colors, they look nice, and are easy to wash and wear and comfortable.  All the other women at the network work at home and look professional.

Landsnark ...there was some discussion on the Cruz/Joe Twitter dust-up in the Host's column.  But I am surprised there wasn't more; maybe everyone was busy wondering how Mother's Day became surreal.

I must ask, even though this has been discussed here before.  How in the name of all that is holy can a morning news show (yes, i know) get by with rerunning the newsiest (yes, I know) portion of it's show in the 8:00 time slot?  How can the main host disappear for large chunks of time?  How can a leading co-host (yes, I know) be allowed to simply parrot her co-host (ha, co-host) and appear in a mismatched colorful, printed pajama top and dark sweater/shroud? I am not trying to be The Fashion Police (I am still in pj's) but from the neck up she looks polished.  I guess if someone from the network nicely talked to her about her choice of clothing - it would be considered harassment?   Katie Tur and Kasie Hunt, both at 9 months pregnant looked more put-together than Meeka.

I don't think Mika cares about her wardrobe choices anymore because she has nowhere to go after the show. She used to be able to do presentations in NY or Washington after the show for her KYV sessions.

Ruhle is the new" it girl " at NBC.

Was she on bitching about Target?  It's been an ongoing rant of hers the last week. 

She's mad Target is open, because you know groceries and paper products but also OMG beach towels & puzzles, but the surf shop, which I'm assuming is the RonJons because how many surf shops can Beach Haven NJ support, is closed.  No one is buying surf boards.  The beaches are closed and it's freezing cold out. 

She's just clueless as Mika.

I didn't see the show today but I saw her photo on Twitter.  It appears that her new thing is throwing a sweater on over any available tshirt and going on live TV.  She looks like she has one foot in the retirement home.

I guess she's not interested in looking sexy anymore since she "caught" Joe.

Joe says Covid-19 is the worst crisis since World War II.  Does that mean that the Vietnam War stopped being Joe's preferred Covid-19 touchstone?  

Joe wants us to know that people are going to die this fall.  

Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel says a lot of states that do not meet the criteria are reopening.  

Joe compared Covid-19 to a hurricane.  He again said that everyone knew in January.  Everyone except Joe and Mika.

Joe apologized for retweeting a Jimmy Kimmel video.  He yelled at people who criticize him. Joe yelled at states for reopening.  I don't know how anyone can stand to be on air with Joe.

Mika says the president was weird and racist to reporters.  The president is consumed by hating on women according to Meeks.  

Mika is married to a jackass who regularly yells at her on air, but she gets a special "The More You Know" moment for women's rights.   Self awareness on aisle five!

Ok, on Twitter there is a Rate My Skype Room poster who critiques folks that are now trapped in their homes and highlights their positive and negatives on the backgrounds of their rooms.  One of the most constant are Heileman and Steve Schmidt and their never ending snarking about flowers/fruit and clearly after seeing Heileman just now he has totally brought out the big guns.  Good grief, what is going on on that counter behind him, it's like he bought out the entire market?  I can't wait to see the counter attack (pardon the pun).  Oh goodness I so appreciated the laugh (and they both have lovely homes)!  😄

What in God's name was Joe bellowing about at 6 am? I was trying to feed dog and cat and put my contacts in and I unfortunately had it on both tvs.  If we ever need new ideas for torture, just play Joe Scarborough. It'll break anyone. 

Mika must have seen the forum it looks like she actually had something on that you couldn't purchase in "Ladies Lounge/Sleepwear" section of  Macys. 

I see Yasmin is on the KYV IG tomorrow. She's been on Twitter talking about no sleep etc so Mika must have caught her in a weak moment.  We need to save her. 

Can't the new boss tell these two if they can't do their actual jobs without looking like soccer mom dropping kids off in her pjs and the drunk at the end of the bar, they don't get to do extra curricular bullshit with fellow employees?  They're destroying whatever is left of the MSNBC brand.

Maybe he saw that episode of Mad Men where Betty buys a fainting couch.

Joe does seem to think it's the 1950s as far as how he treats women.

It was nice of Mika to wear her black sweater today. It's more professional.

Joe was a big fan of the Mad Men tv show. Joe used to discuss the episodes on Monday mornings. Mika didn't watch the show.

My clothing budget is sparse, compared to a TV host's, and my fashion sense isn't the best, but even I know not to wear a black sweater every darn day.  It's nearly summer.  How about, if you're going to wear the SAME tee every day, choosing a sweater with colors from that?  A nice pale blue, or white . . . Come on!  Seriously!  Why do we all have to suffer because Miss KYV can't find a white sweater?  Do NONE of the suits care? Because she sure doesn't.

  • Love 5

That's what I was saying too! The tees I get from Gap are like $20 or less if they're on sale. They are super soft cotton and come in a bunch of colors. She can put one of her minister scarves over it, and the heather gray one I have has been mistaken for a cashmere sweater.  I've had a few of them for 3 years or so and they still look nice. 

Maybe she is still suffering from her cake/sugar withdrawal blues and just doesn't care how she looks.

I can only assume that no one from the network has the clout or nerve to tell Meeka to step it up.  She looks depressing every single day.  Does she do her own hair and makeup?  Because if she does, she seems to spend an inordinate time on that task.  Maybe because of her body issues she only looks at herself in the bathroom mirror and skips the bull-body mirror.  But her drabness is distracting; it makes me just want to look at Joe.  Not something I ever thought I would type.

Now, now, she's still trying to hold onto Joe.  She wraps him up next to her in her big sweater and coos, "You're the smartest. If only everyone listened to you all of the world's problems would be gone.  World leaders value your opinion.  Your music is the greatest."

I have often wondered who buys sleep sweaters.  I guess I have my answer.

jalady, I am sorry you are depressed; you are in good company, as I think most everyone else is, too.  

I think a part of me (albeit a wee part) is envious of Meeka; the huge amount of money she makes and the fact that she doesn't seem to put forth much of an effort.  She was born on third base; thinks she hit a triple.  But we work with what we've got.   Poking at her just give me a bit of life.  We are all struggling in some form or another right now.  

Jordan Baker..."Bull Body Mirror"...I can't believe I didn't catch it before I hit "Submit"...but I just gave myself a belly laugh over it.  Thanks!

For 3 hours a day she can try to pull it together. She doesn't have to get dolled up like a Kardashian, just put on something that doesn't look like she slept in it. 

 

I am not! 🙂  I'm just saying sometimes it's easier said than done.  Which is why I don't join video meetings or happy hours most of the time.  I take all your points about her job and salary, but she may be doing the best she can under these very unusual circumstances.  And now I'm more depressed because I'm defending Meeks 😞

Yes, I didn't mean to sound harsh, I know this has been hard on everyone, I think it's Mika weariness, she whines so much about how terrible her life as been, and now she works at home, and that was by choice initially, and she still can't seem to be bothered.

Maybe it's no fun anymore that she doesn't have anyone to flirt with, as that does seem to be when she was really at the top of her "You Go Girl" game.

I totally get that and agree 100%.  I forget that people are stuck at home when they're use to interacting with coworkers and friends. 

I've been working this whole time, and I'm pretty much a home body anyway, so this hasn't been much of a challenge to me, other than wearing a mask into a store. So please if anyone needs to vent or gab, we're here. 

Sorry sometimes I type before I think.

Well, that and when she was traveling around for her shaminars.  I honestly think that is the one thing she gets validation from.  It is just that her self-importance is grating, day after day.  

It is sad that one of the things I truly enjoy these days is coming here and seeing the comments and snark.  I don't know which one it is more fun to poke at...Joe or Meeka.

I have stories about the people I work with that would make you be SO happy you work at home.

My boss' wife doesn't want the cleaning people to spray her desk with disinfectant because she thinks after letting it set for 10 minutes and then wiping it down, they'll sneeze on it to give her the virus.  Apparently they can sneeze on demand. 

If they actually knew her, they'd do more than sneeze on her desk, I can tell you! 

  • LOL 3

The thing with Mika is she CAN dress a bit more stylishly and act more alive when she wants to. Those Instagram lives show a whole nother side of her. She's dressed (casually) and I think she even parts her hair on the other side. (But those damn sunglasses on her head like a barrette thing are so stupid.) She is animated and babbly. Perhaps Joe demands the shroud and "meekness" to keep all the attention on him. She knows her value as his spouse.

Plus Yasmin posted video of her pretending to be asleep on the floor of the nursery at 2 am because her kids wouldn't go back to sleep , and by God she was up and hosting First Look at 5 am and looked as good as she always does. I don't know if she does it at home or in the studio.

So it just grates on me that Mika, who doesn't have a toddler and a one year old baby, could go to sleep at 9 pm (hell I was out at 8 pm last night) and get her ass up at 5 am and throw on a decent top, even over her sweats or something, and act like she gives a shit. 

Give up the sugar ban, if it's what gets you thru the night.

Was it about the murder tweet?

Willie notified them on air and the only thing he said was "psycho Joe Scarborough" but I looked at the tweet. "When will they open a Cold Case on the Psycho Joe Scarborough matter in Florida. Did he get away with murder? Some people think so. Why did he leave Congress so quietly and quickly? Isn’t it obvious? What’s happening now? A total nut job!"

Yasmin dresses much better than Mika. However, Joe probably starts ranting against President Trump in his sleep & wakes up Mika in the middle of the night.

I don't think it is part of Q Anon.

The first link summarizes the scandal. Joe battled Wikipedia because they  kept allowing people to edit his Wikipedia page.

Yesterday, Dr. Fauci warned of serious consequences if states reopen too soon. 

Joe said we risk future outbreaks that will set the economic recovery back.  Joe says it will set us back if people die.  People will not go and get hamburgers if people are dying, according to Joe. 

Jonathan Lemire thinks that Fauci threw cold water on Trump's hope to reopen the economy.

Joe claims he talked to people on the front lines who give him information about coronavirus.  Joe is out there reporting on this every day.

Dr. Ashih Shah from Harvard said we need a national road map for reopening.  

Mika said people can't go back to work because thousands of people are getting sick from Covid-19 on the job. 

So Mika is telling y'all to forget about that job.  Her advice is to find someone that you can screw for financial support.

Mika, take your own advice and stop coming to the studio.

I think Mika and Joe live a privileged and sheltered life.

I don't think Joe killed her but I would not be remotely surprised if he wasn't involved with her, and was terrified that would come out. 

They could have been at the office earlier and he could have left and she had the seizure or whatever.  His behavior is pretty fishy.   It reeks of guilty of something, probably another extra marital affair. 

Wouldn't  it be more appropriate that Joe issue a statement of condolence and let the family speak for Lori?  Esp since her parents said there was no history of heart problems?

I agree. Mika & Joe seem to be oblivious to the economic damage the virus has caused.

Many people can't afford to stay off work for months.

I am curious to find out if  Mika & Joe have offered to make any donations to food banks or any charities for those people who have lost their jobs as a result of the lockdowns.

I'll assume Mika has offered to hire out of work people to fold teeshirts and bake cakes, no pay mind you, the work itself is the reward. Joe probably can have people work from home, changing Wikipedia to say he never knew Lori Klasutis.
