Joe praised Kasie for predicting that Georgia would turn blue. Arizona & New Mexico went blue.

Joe admitted that the Democrats did poorly in the House & Senate races.

Do Demographics explain why the GOP picked up seats in California & Florida?

Kasie said that Democrats will continue to struggle in the Midwest but they are confident about gaining strength in the South.

Kasie said that Democrats could not have won the election without Joe Biden.

Joe said he didn't believe the polls.  He admitted that the polls were correct in Arizona,NC & Georgia.

The polls were wrong in Wisconsin,Pennsylvania & Michigan.

Joe said Demographics is Destiny.

Joe used a new accent to make fun of people that criticized his tweet. It sounded like a stuffy New England accent.

Joe brought up the 9 hispanic babies being born in Texas for every white baby.

Joe made fun of Trump for only getting 12% of the black vote & 32% of the hispanic vote compared to 8% & 27% in the last election.

Bush got 44% in 2004.

Joe demanded that Biden gets the PDB. Joe told the GOP to stop whining.

Barnicle discussed Obama receiving the PDB in Chicago. It was scary because there were many crisis around the world.

 

[oakville]

Intereting interview with Senator Tammy Duckworth. She celebrated the 16th anniversary of her helicopter being shot down. She lost both her legs.

[oakville]

Willie left the set. Joe had to handle the hosting job by himself. This should be interesting.

 

[oakville]

Eugene said Trump is wrong to refuse to concede the election.

Joe said Trump worked hard to lose the election based on the final results. He should have won had he been competent on the virus.

Barnicle said that only Joe Biden could have beaten Trump. Why is Barnicle throwing shade at all the other Democratic Presidential candidates ?

Lemire is excited at Trump attacking Fox News.

[oakville]

Lemire said that Trump might run again in 2024 to avoid criminal probes.

Can't they begin after he leaves office in January ?

STOP with this shit, Joe. It's not funny and so unprofessional. I refuse to take anything he says seriously because of this. Immature behavior for a host. What happened to "diversity", Joe? That we are all united? That our heritage, locales, and subsequent accents are part of the fabric of this country? If you want to be a stand up comedian, have at it, but on another platform.

[oakville]

Suan Del Percio was outraged at Marco Rubio as acting chief of the Senate intelligence committee. She said voters will remember that in 2022.

She thinks he could lose re election in 2022. That was music to Joe's ears.

Joe is still seething from the 2010 Florida GOP Senate Primary when Gov Charlie Crist & Marco refused to withdraw from the race to make it easier or Joe to be the GOP nominee.

Michael Steele said Rubio is afraid of Trump.

Donny has been waiting quietly for 29  minutes before being allowed to speak.

Joe blasted the Democrats for supporting socialism & defunding the police. Donny said the world socialism is unAmerican.

Donny said that AOC only represents 100,000 voters.

Donny praised Joe for being a just right of center politician. He said most Americans are right of center.

Joe admitted people escape to Florida to have lower taxes. LOL! Joe never admitted that was a key reason why he moved to Florida.

[oakville]

At 7:33 am, Joe used his Southern accent to make fun of Democrats for defending themselves about defunding the police.

He then switched accents to have a gravely voice & said they have to figure out how to push back .

Democrats have to listen to Joe if they want to be successful :))

[oakville]

Ed Luce is writing a book about Mika's dad. Mika's brother & several other guests were part of the Brezezinki iniative.

Luce said his book will have a chapter on Mika's influence on her dad's foreign policy views.

 

[oakville]

Joe praised Dr Z several times. Joe said that Dr Z wasn't doting.

Mark said that Reagan did not collude with the Iranians to prevent the hostages from being released before the election.

[oakville]

They showed a picture of Mika & her brother meeting Pope John Paul II.

Carter trusted Dr Z.

[neona]

I loved how when joe gave Tom Ricks "the last word", Tom didn't spend it on solo pontificating, he spent it by eagerly turning to his colleague and asking her opinion, with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. *that's* how you do it...curiosity, not self-indulgence... is the true sign of an intellectual, and a gentleman.

What other pressing business could Mika possibly have had that would prevent her from appearing on this love fest? Gloating over her Dad and brothers is her stock-in-trade.

I think he tried to say NBC News but it came out as NBC's new correspondent. It's surprising that Engel would agree to appear on Morning Joe.

Joe used to get into frequent arguments with Richard Engel over the situations in Syria, Iraq & Israel.  Joe claimed that he knew more about the Middle East than Engel.

Awww man, noooo... i mean it seemed to be an initiative of Little dr B and he's definitely not a grifter. He legit seems smart, and like he want to honor his father's memory. i think joe and mika genuinely miss him. But i agree...it was... a long segment, in the middle of a lot of breaking news... but i really have no doubts about their motives here tbh...

I'm so sorry but Joe's newsreader! and breaking news! voice  is *terrible*. He always sounds like a mix between an earnest schoolboy and a used car salesman.  

[freddi]

Wow, they have Dr. Vin Gupta here in Seattle on at 3:00 AM PST to talk about this virus massive spread.  I’m still up here from the preceding day, trying to plan how to proceed in my organization to follow the Governor’s new restrictions.  Tough time for this state and so many others.  “We are in a worse situation than we were in March,” said Dr. Gupta.

Really unsatisfying to listen to Mika this morning.

Around 7:15 Eastern Robert Costa was on.  Costa's level of professionalism avoids offering personal opinions, Mika takes twice as long to passive aggressively ramble about her opinions, and then concludes with a question to Costa.  Costa replies in his usual style, refusing to engage in the distraction of Mika's other comments.

Why even have a guest like Costa, if it merely interrupts the opinions of the hosts.  They demean a real journalist's insight.

Then Mika asks "That's Right Joe" Lemire to ask Costa a question.  So where does the AP White House reported get his insights, from the WaPo White House reported.🤥

Joe tweeted during the show. I guess he didn't feel like getting out of bed today. Mika interviewed 3 governors with Lemire & Kasie's help.

 

[neona]

It's nice not to have to listen to joe rambling when there's soooo much info to process gah.

I thought Mika did a good job, she asked relevant questions and kept things moving, but it was kinda tense and exhausting... i wish these tee-vee people could just use their normal speaking voices and not make us so stressed, like it should b possible to do that even tho the news is serious...

She is cry talking and reading because SHE is stressed immensely when she has to host the show. She gets squirmy and worked up because she is so unsure of herself.

This is evidence of her inability to process the information she is given...she's so worried about what her next question will be. There is never any free flowing conversation with her...she never actually participates in conversations; just reacts. Makes it hard to follow. I wish Willie would host when Joe's gone.

Tee hee! I like Jonathan Lemire overall, but that is certainly a spot-on characterization.

[oakville]

Mika admitted that restaurants are suffering due to Covid 19. Joe hasn't taken her out for a nice meal in months. He said she was a picky eater & took too long to order a meal. Mika also kept asking for several substitutions to the meals she ordered.

 

She asked Kasie about a Covid relief package. Nothing is moving forward yet. Pelosi want help for the states.

to be fair, they *did* introduce him this time as an advisor to the Biden team....that's really all it takes.... and he was great! He had interesting insights, it changed nothing tbh

it's funny, during my obsessive 24-hour MSNBC election marathon...there was this one part where Lawrence O'Donnell was on...and he was obviously in a home studio, and he just straight-up said "good evening, I'm Lawrence O'Donnell, joining you from Los Angeles...." I almost fell off my chair!!!!!  

Like he literally said that *out loud* where he was, like it was both not a big deal but also information the viewers should have regardless, for transperency! Heyyy, go figure!!

that's why i'll never understand Joe and MIka's weirdo confusing locations, the fake-ass "we're in separate rooms" split screen, the never-explained-absences bullshit.....like just relax! be transparent, laugh about it....it's not complicated! because people do kinda care about honesty and authenticity.....

Yes, Mika did the appropriate thing today to call him an advisor to Biden. However, he should have apologized for praising Biden's victory speech without mentioning that he wrote part of it. Meacham should learn from Joe who often reminds viewers about his op- eds in the Washington Post which are read by people around the world. Joe never fails to praise his own work or has Mika do it for him.

Hey, you know before the election, pollsters were completely off, and people like Joe were all blah blah maybe this, maybe that....literally the *only* thing our girl Kasie said, consistently, was..."hey...Georgia's gonna be interesting, guys...no really...georgia, georgia, georgia...."

she was *right*....

but at no point afterwards has she launched into a speech about "me, me, meeeee... I predicted, I kneeew..l, me, meeee..."  she has basically just been cloaked in the beautiful quiet glory of her rightness, and kept doing her job like a professional....and following the actual story....

Mika read a story that Republicans in Georgia consider President Trump a burden in the Senate runoff.  Mika said, "Sorry Trumpy!" and laughed at herself.  Mika you are the only one who's laughing because that wasn't funny.  You suck at making jokes.

if I hear one more media person say Biden is gonna "enact" the DPA I think i'm going to scream. Dude, learn what words mean...the actual verb you're looking for is "invoke"!!!!! gaaaaah

Joe is off again today as he prepares for an exhausting book tour.

Willie is back. Biden said it was embarrassing for Trump not to concede the election.

Biden has his own team of experts to advise him.
