Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk

[oakville]

Joe is yelling about Netanyahu allowing Qatar to fund Hamas. Joe said that Bibi is undermining the Palestinian Authority & supports Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Eugene called Trump a con man. His dad's real estate company was charged with not renting apartments to black people in 1973.

Eugene said black people won't buy his sneakers.

You have to love Joe yelling about something everyone else has known about for years.  Has he seen Bibi's latest remarks? It's not just settlements, Joe. It's the complete annihilation of Palestine. A military siege if you will. 

Guess that music video took up so much of his time he didn't have a chance to do his actual job.   Or, you know, something the rest of us do regularly, aka read in depth articles about world events, not just skim the headlines of WSJ.

Joe receives complimentary subscriptions to the NY Times & WSJ Journal. He frequently shows viewers a highlighted copy of each paper to viewers to show that he is doing an in-depth analysis of the topics.

Joe used to read the Washington Post, but he cancelled his subscription when they dropped his opinion column.

Mika may have left Joe in the bunker but she sure took her eyebrow pencil and eyeliner with her. Good Lord. 

[Kemper]

I was relieved not to see Meeka this morning - it guaranteed there would be no KYV or Adrienne Elrod. Then I noticed how professional Joe looked - his hair, especially.  What is different?  The style and/or color? The jacket and tie? Maybe new glasses? 

plumbago blues, You Are So Right!! (remember that?)  I noticed Meeka's eye makeup yesterday.  Yikes.

And now here is Joe Manchin, best buddy to Joe and Meeka.  Click.

I clicked as soon as Kornacki showed up only to return to Joe Manchin. It's funny how MJ gloms onto their perceived newest superstar. What happened to Chris Christie

Senator Manchin used to invite Mika & Joe for dinner on his yacht. He let Mika & Joe reenact Dicaprio's famous scene with Kate Winslet.

[SeanBug]

Is Steve Kornacki popular with anyone other than Leslie Jones?  He makes most of us a nervous wreck, with the arm flailing and drilling down into each county as to how voting went. 

Joe & Mika are running out of people to fan boy/girl over.  Joe Manchin? Really? 

Do they have a list of "People no one likes"?

The one where Jack/Leo is dead and his body sinks into the icy Atlantic Ocean?

[oakville]

Joe said he is speaking to diplomats and leaders in the Middle East. They want to be allied with Israel but are reluctant to do it while the war in Gaza continues.

Arab nations are willing to rebuild Gaza.

Joe will be in Abu Dhabi next week for Mika's summit, so there is hope that Joe can broker a ceasefire between Israel & Gaza.

Mika said their arrival in the UAE will be covered live on Al Jazeera. They will be escorted by a police motorcade from the airport to their hotel.

[oakville]

Mika & Joe were outraged at Trump's speech at the border.

[oakville]

Joe is mad at Trump for calling the Governor of California Newscum. Joe said it was a juvenile insult.

Joe blamed Trump for the rise in border crossings. They were at a 50 year low under President Obama.

[oakville]

Donny Deutsch wants the footage from the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel released. He is worried that people are forgetting how the war started.

Joe is worried that young people only know about Bibi being PM. He doesn't support a 2-state solution.

[oakville]

Joe said black women in battleground states saved Madisonian democracy.

Rev Al said they waited in line to vote for Biden.

[tres bien]

I'm always fascinated (like yesterday) when Joe can recall in detail questions he was asked by voters and how he answered 30 years ago. It's such BS

[millennium]

I know Scarborough gets a lot of grief, but I found him really funny this morning, especially the faux self-deprecation: "If you polled the viewers of this show and asked them, Does Joe Scarborough talk too much? , 85% of them would say YES!  And if you asked them, Would Morning Joe be better without Joe Scarborough?, the same 85% would say YES!"

Then he played the Trump gaffe supercut three times in a row!

[oakville]

Joe is furious at the NY Times for asking voters if Biden is too old to be President.

Joe wants the NY Times to focus on Trump's gaffes . Democracy will be saved if Biden is re-elected.

Joe said Trump is incoherent and thinks he beat Obama in 2016.

[oakville]

Joe is mad at evangelicals for supporting Trump.

Joe is shouting about Trump raping & sexually abusing women.

I have to adjust the volume on the remote control when watching Joe.

 

[oakville]

Lemire said Trump is melting down after losing the DC primary.

[tres bien]

 Joe said bed wetting ad nauseum today. I wish Mika had a diaper to stuff in his mouth 

[oakville]

Senator Claire complained about Trump's new hair dye. It's too orange.

[Kemper]

I wish I could remember what, exactly, Joe said today to Jennifer Palmieri.  I didn't have my laptop handy to comment and now it is hours later.  I am old.  When he started to ask her a question, he said -  in a nutshell - something like "Meeka's talks"  to working women. It made her schtick sound condescending to her audience. We all know he meant it as a compliment... or did he? 😁. He has to be as over it as the rest of us.

I am enjoying him a lot lately. Maybe I am just overcome by anxiety about November, but he seems really sane and levelheaded these days.

[tres bien]

WTH kind of bat shit crazy sermon was that that Joe was delivering.

He's so unserious and so unfunny 

[SeanBug]

Of course I log on and Kornacki is explaining how Trump is going to win Republican primaries. No shit Sherlock. 

Joe stating the obvious  proves one thing, their staff reads these forums, and other social media sites.  

It's not like people run up to them in airports and yell "THE SHOW IS BETTER WITHOUT YOU!!!"  Though I wish someone would do that. 

Stewart and Colbert can discuss the same thing Joe does (Trump rallies), and it's enjoyable and hilarious. Joe showing those clips and railing about Trump is just tiresome. 

Go make a video with your Tawny Kitaen wannabe wife. 

(FYI Tawny Kitaen was an actress in the 90s who appeared in Whitesnake music videos). 

[SeanBug]

omg Luke Russert?  I thought they fired him years ago.  Kissing Mika's ass much Luke?    Luke  wants to do a KYV event.  And he's using Clinton's "we're more alike than we are different" line.  Have an original thought you little toady. 

I just saw Mika (I'm online and listen while I browse other sites) and I'll tell you  what her highness was doing on her "do nothing" day.  She got her hair done.  Which is fine but stop making it sound like you lie around your sad little apartment watching reruns of your show on Peacock and eating donuts and pizza. 

Luke made Mika happy because he promoted her sham. 

 

[Kemper]

Tawny Kitaen! My son and his friends were teens at the time and loved loved (well, probably lusted - they were teens, after all) her and the videos.  Brilliant name!

Luke Russert and Meeka Brzenski - a couple of ultimate nepo babies. And then she had the smarts to marry someone who could actually make her relevant to a segment of the country.  Well played.

Luke quit MSNBC in July 2016. There was a lot of pressure on him to take over Meet the Press after his dad passed away in 2008. I remember Wagner used to call him the sage of MSNBC which was silly because he was in his early 20s.

The network chose Chuck Todd over Mika & Joe to take over the show.

Tawny passed away several years ago. I kinda think she peaked with her guest appearance on Seinfeld.  Also, she was iconic as the Whitesnake video girl. 

RIP Tawny.   Mika, I knew (of) Tawny Kitaen. You are no Tawny Kitaen.

The "sage" of MSNBC?  Not the parsley?  Something that appears on your plate and you  didn't ask for it and don't want it and don't know why it's there or what its reason for being there is?

LOL!. Wagner was referring to Russert as a man with profound wisdom & expertise.

Joe would get offended when she said that since he considered himself to be the host with the most gravitas at MSNBC.

Who is this Wagner?  Whoever it is, they don't know what profound wisdom is.  I think they meant Nepo Baby, or "his dad died, let's throw him a bone".  No disrespect to Tim. 

Oakville, Joe thinking he has gravitas (I know you're kidding) is like Joe thinking he's a rock star, or a respected author.  Not so much.

Alex Wagner used to introduce Luke as "the Sage of Capitol Hill"

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/lady-alex-wagner-flna374637

Tim's death in 2008 was shocking. Luke had just started working for MSNBC. He was  way too young & inexperienced to take over MTP. 

Joe has become a cartoon caricature of a cable pundit over the past few years.

He uses the same 5-10 talking points every day during the show to discuss every issue that is discussed on the show.

I thought you might have meant Alex Wagner, and now I have lost a bit of respect for her, unless someone was standing off camera threatening to kill a puppy if she didn't say Luke is the sage of MSNBC coverage of Capitol Hill. 

I assume Garrett Haake wasn't around back then. If so, I'd be pissed off if I was him and  someone called a 23 year old kid who got a job because of his father "the sage of Capitol Hill".   Luke said he quit previously to review his career options, aka "Luke it's just not working out, but since your father was  beloved and chief of Washington Bureau of NBC News, we'll let you write your statement about leaving". 

And now he's back. Like parsley. Not wanted, or needed. 

Joe admitting the majority of viewers think he makes the show worse and should shut up doesn't tell me he's become self aware. It tells me Rashida Jones had a sit down with Joe Rock Star and told him "no one likes you, so get your shit together or we're gonna make some changes".

Today, again, he mouthed the same things re Biden’s age.  Meeka has been in or near tears about it. But….

Shouting the same talking points re how media outlets have it wrong is tiresome. He rants about this just about everyday. Same words. It becomes counter-productive and magnifies the issue. It is also lazy. But when you have four hours to fill…..

The problem as I see it is that he's haranguing people who already agree with him.   It's the viewers (and hosts) of another network he needs to be fencing with and trying to convert.

Morning Joe used to allow guests with different opinions than the hosts. Joe stopped doing this around 2015.

Joe's F-you rant yesterday did make it to the other side and gave them lots of  talking points regarding his intellectual depth. Amusing and frankly not a good look for him. Maybe he can lead a break-out session at the Summit on How to Not Influence Others By Insulting Them.

[oakville]

Joe's rant was criticized by a conservative website. Don't they realize how powerful Joe is due to his close relationship with President Biden?

Mika is cry talking about her KYV event.

Shania Twain is getting an award???  What the fuck for? 

JFC this thing can't get more ridiculous and pathetic. 

The  line up of speakers  is akin to the performers who play free concerts at the Indiana State Fair.  "Yeah okay let's go see Three Dog Night before the 4 H event".

No disrespect to Three Dog Night. I was making a joke and then realized they actually played at the Fair last year.

Aside from the absurdity of Mika broadcasting her pet project from Abu Dhabi it's filled with no nothing women who aren't role models for average women.

At least get some women of consequence. There's millions and they don't have to be "famous". Famous doesn't always=inspirational. What's the goal/purpose of her dog and pony show

THIS!  Probably because no woman in her right mind  would go to Dubai to sit on stage with a dipshit like Mika.  

I really don't get why someone at MSNBC doesn't point out that she's basically running a One Percenters Party/Cult with these idiot KYV things.  Going to Dubai just reeks of "look how rich we are!! Look how we can jet off to the Middle East!  We even talked to some young girls at a school. You know, daughters of Emirs and Oil company execs."  

I still can't get over her having Shania Twain. Nothing against her, but can't she find someone who had a hit record in this century?   Shania posted a picture in front of the sign for the event on her IG.  "Girls Night in the Desert"! We had so much fun. Dancing on tables. Love Mika denying she did that.  She just did a back bend on the table with her leg in the air. 

Know Your Value! Or how to make up a bullshit company so you can  write off thousands of dollars of personal expenses.

Content for Forbes?  If a social network blooms from this where younger women already pretty high up the ladder can get higher due to contacts made, then I guess that's the cherry on top?
Otherwise it's so fascinatingly meaningless.

What a time to be a rich prince in Abu Dhabi.  1,500 ambitious, gullible nerds trying to be sophisticated on their "Eat, Pray, Business" girls' week off empowerment junket are gonna be pretty, prettyyyyy easy pickings for a pair of dark, mysterious eyes.
One day she'll tell her granddaughter about it in a poem, he'll have forgotten it happened.

The show began with the SNL skit parody of Senator Britt's SOTU. It was very amusing.

 

Mika said she loved being in Abu Dhabi and bought a new scarf using Joe's credit card.

Mika liked the Oscars. She was happy that Oppenheimer won the best picture award.

Joe complained about Trump's critique of Kimmel. He said he needed new material.

That's rich coming from Joe, who needs to update his talking points.

Joe is mad at people saying that Biden was jacked up on pills for his speech.

[oakville]

Joe said he met Katie & her family at the SEC basketball game. Joe had a suite. She was nice to him and wasn't too Trumpy. Joe said Trump corrupted her.

Joe said over 30 million watched the SOTU.

[oakville]

Joe is mad at Nancy Mace for defending Trump.
