MSNBC - Part 39

Kow is Jonathan Karl, an ABC employee, a regular on Nicole's show? She used to have a reporter for local NBC affiliate on regularly to report on 1/6, but he got hired by CBS & now no longer appears.

Alex Wagner will be taking over Maddow's 9pm slot

^ Tuesday-Friday.

Claire made a joke and everyone on the panel smiled except, of course, Mike Schmidt. He does serious reporter face better than anybody.

Move along, R4. He's all mine.

Morgan Chesky is super cute and sexy, Yum!! ;-)

He's the only type of blonde I like - hairy.

Sorry, R3. I should've made that clear

Was Tim Miller wearing pearls on Nicole's?

So will Rachel be using Alex’s staff, or vice versa?

R9, he inherited them from Barbara Bush, the mother of Jeb!, his former boss.

Is Rachel going to cancel her fishing trip to come in for tomorrow's surprise 1/6 hearing?

Ooh. Good question.

I love you, R11.

[quote] Is Rachel going to cancel her fishing trip to come in for tomorrow's surprise 1/6 hearing?

Yes, she said she will be there 8-10 PM EDT doing their nightly recap of the days hearing.

Lawrence O'Donnell has brought back Andrew Weissmann for comment on his show. YEAH.

Is Andrew family?

[quote] Is Andrew family?

I thought so, but I found a couple of sites that claims he is married to a woman named Debra and has a son named Ben.

Well that's a surprise.

I didn't quite get it, Nicolle is now an event planner?

[quote] Alex Wagner will be taking over Maddow's 9pm slot

An excuse to revisit photos of Alex's hubby.

Maybe the hubby should take over the slot instead.

Hubby is Sam Kass, the Obamas WH chef & close personal friend.

It appears that Rachel is determined to explain to the viewers every damn time they have one of these reviews of the days testimony what PBS did during the Watergate hearing and that they are going to copy that precedent after each daytime hearing.

It is the thing about her that annoys me the most, she treats her viewers like they are morons and she is so damn smart she must speak down to us.

I wonder where Nicolle Wallace is? Rachel said Nicolle was unable to sit in on their panel in NYC.

R24, but did she ask the audience if she missed anything or to correct her if she got something wrong?

R25 Don't go away, we've got lots more show to come. (0:55).

^I noticed that

Does Rachel have Monday the 4th off? Let me guess.

R28, I think all of the prime-time hosts usually take off on major holidays. Or if you do see them, it will likely be a special they taped ahead of time.

Ari is fond of the highlight recap reels. To showcase his lyric bombs.

Just got Tim Miller's new book on audio from the library. Looks/sounds good so far.

Where’s John Heilemann at?

More Jon Meacham, please.

[quote]Where’s John Heilemann at?

"I'm going to start a response to Nicolle's question and then stop to say 'Hi, Nicolle' every fucking time. and act like it's spontaneous when it clearly isn't"

John hasn't done that in quite a while now.

Nicolle said today there will be a Jan 6 hearing next Tuesday.

Andrew Weissmann was on The Last Word and there was a bird flying around in his apartment. I wasn't sure when I first saw it but rewound and sure enough there is was, a very small bird flew behind Andrew.

Where is Phil?

R38 I saw him sometime last week, I believe it was on an 11th Hour panel discussion. He seems to always be remote from a studio rather than from his dining area.

Why has Nicolle Wallace been remote the last 2 weeks?

Ugh Phil Rucker is a Trump dick sucker.

What did he say, R41?

r42, argslurpswallowmmgulp

Does our Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona ping for anyone other than me? He has a spouse named Marissa.

The story how Tim Miller got his pearls, from his reddit ama:

[quote] I saw some TikTok twinks wearing one and thought it looked great and that I would be the first person on stodgy old cable news to do it so I asked my hubs to get me one for Christmas.

So Ayman now looks like a terrorist?

The January 6th Committee should only hold public hearings Tuesdays-Fridays in order to ensure that fans get a Rachel recap fix in addition to her normal Monday night gig.

No, R46. Since "terrorists" come in every color, race an religion. You bigoted pig.

and*

[quote] So Ayman now looks like a terrorist?

No Ayman looks like a man from the middle east, which he is and he looks similar to millions of other men from the middle east, the overwhelming majority of whom are not terrorists.

R46 you should be more worried what your comment makes you look like. You can find a clue in R48 since you don't seem to be too bright.

[quote]the overwhelming majority of whom are not terrorists

Up to 90% non-terrorist, guaranteed.

Why do you think Ayman get removed from daytime to weekends???

[quote]Why do you think Ayman get removed from daytime to weekends???

His plastic surgery was too bad for daytime.

R53 Couldn't find any before-after photos of Ayman on-line. Or am I missing some Katy Tur joke.

ugh of course trump ass licker Jonathan Lemire wrote a book.

kinda late to the game, dude?

Jonathan Lemire is starting to look ragged, getting up in the middle of the night to do a 5AM show is aging him, plus his regular gig as a reporter for Politico and writing a book. Wonder if his kids even know who he is.

Why is Nicolle Wallace still remote 2 weeks later???

Maddow time.

Wait, today is a non holiday Monday?

Doesn't the staircase in Andrew Weissmann's loft violate some kind of safety code regulations?

Tonight Lawrence O'Donnell recalled himself as a kid watching the Watergate hearings. He was 22 at the time.

R61 - when you're 70 years old, 22 year olds are considered kids.

Former Federal prosecutor and MSNBC analyst Daniel Goldman was on CNN's New Day this morning since he is running for Congress. Goldman running for Congress is the reason I believe we have Andrew Weissmann back. I was surprised when Goldman announced that MSNBC was still using him as an analyst, since normally they stop using someone when they are running for office like they did with Maya Wiley when she was running for NY Mayor. So I think from now on we will only see Goldman on MSNBC as a candidate not as an analyst.

Seeing Alexander Butterfield on The Last Word was interesting, I would have guess he was already dead but he is 96 and certainly doesn't look it, but he sure talked like it was difficult for him to express the thoughts in his head.

Mika seemed more challenged trying to read the teleprompter on Morning Joe earlier that ever before. It was embarrassing.

Dick sucker Phil is back!!!

[quote]Mika seemed more challenged trying to read the teleprompter on Morning Joe earlier that ever before. It was embarrassing.

She hit the mimosas a little too early today.

Rachel Maddow introducing her panel, We have [bold]The Great Joy Reed[/bold] Chris Hayes, Nicolle Wallace and Lawrence O'Donnell.

Chris Hayes is 💯 having an aneurysm tonight !!!

Well you have to do something to get noticed when you are sitting next to [bold]The Great Joy Reed[/bold]

The Great Joy Reid got pretty quiet when teacher's pet showed up.

Wow, are they only rotating the white guys?

Rotate Chris for Ari and it becomes The View.

Thank goodness they trashed that trailer trash Ashley Parker.

Ashley is clearly on the spectrum. I respect her ambition, and her conscientiousness, despite the odds.

Joey S. is on a rip this morning over that crazy trumper meeting in the oval office.

What's the story with Ben Collins (speaking of Morning Joe)? Gay? Straight?

Lemire is in need of a vacation. I thought everybody was in love with him here at DL.

I get so tired of Morning Joe having Democratic party PR shill Adrienne Elrod on the show. She can never be honest and look at mistakes and screw ups we Democrats do over and over. Her constant cheer leader antics are embarrassing. Just speak honestly and say we need to get our act together to win this November. She certainly failed in trying to get Hillary elected.

r77, everyone here in love with smirky Lemire?

UGH Nicolle has ASHLEY on!!!!!!

R79 If love means never overlooking the fact that he still can't read a teleprompter convincingly. His "pal" Sam Stein recently filled in for him on WTE - someone who I'm guessing has little to no anchor experience - and delivered an effortless relaxed performance.

[quote] Democratic party PR shill Adrienne Elrod

Lord, is she back? Keep the mute button at the ready.

Chris Murphy coming on with Ali Velshi.

Chris is the HOT Senator!!!!!

Jonathan Lemire is promoting his own Big Lie book on WTE.

Kinda late to the book game, plus these hearings blow up all these cute access journalist books.

Lemire looks like a smug POS on with Andrea.

Chris Murphy for President!

[quote] Kinda late to the book game

Listening to the excellent new book from Mark Leibovich, Thank You for Your Servitude: Donald Trump's Washington and the Price of Submission.

Mark Leibovich is so masculine in a good way, love his voice.

That Reid woman is wearing a nice taupe jacket tonight. Too bad her foundation makeup is too dark and brassy and she chose a tacky costume jewelry necklace. Maybe I'll stay and watch for a bit.

Nope! She's still speed talking, though, so I'm off to local news until Chris Hays time.

[quote]Nope! She's still speed talking, though, so I'm off to local news until Chris Hays time.

Might as well just stay on local news. Chris Hayes is even more annoying than the “great” Joy Reid.

Where’s Chris Hayes—Hanging with Maddow?

I'm watching CNN until 9:00 when Ali Velshi comes on. I don't care for Mendendz at all.

[quote]I'm watching CNN until 9:00 when Ali Velshi comes on. I don't care for Mendendz at all.

Oh come on! She’s FASCINATINGLY dull.

Medhi Hasan is equally fantastically dull....

When's Alex begin her show? I saw Rachel introduce her the other day. And for that matter, that brassy queen Jen Psaki?

Poor Barbara Bosson, having to work checkout at a grocery store just to feed her kids!

I don't mind Chris Hayes.

Alicia Menendez is the female Eugene Daniels. Yawn.

omg

Jen Psaki isn't due to start anything until the fall. Have they even announced what she'll be doing?

If Rachel only wants to anchor one hour a week, fine. But MSNBC should force her to give up her prime-time slot. I know, I know ... Rachel is beloved, Rachel is a star, etc., etc. But Alex Wagner is going to have a hard time building a following as long as Rachel continues in that time slot on Mondays. Alex will always be seen as second-rate, as the woman who fills in for Rachel the other 4 nights, which isn't going to do Alex or MSNBC any favors. Rachel may bring in good ratings for MSNBC on Monday nights, but it may drag down the ratings on the other nights.

R99 I think that would be fine by her. She seems to ultimately want to be a vaunted in-house guest pundit, on a $30 million retainer, who pops in on others shows to offer wisdom on select topics she cares about.

ANDREA you are fucking killing us!!!!

They should move Rachel's one show a week to Sunday nights. And I don't suggest that as some sort of punishment for her for only doing one show a week, just that it would make more sense there in my opinion (and let Alex have the full week).

R63, Butterfield looks AMAZING for 96.

[quote] They should move Rachel's one show a week to Sunday nights.

They should move Rachel to 10PM on Fridays since Lawrence rarely shows up on Fridays. She could do a weekly recap of the weeks news.

Maybe they should fire Rachel and save the tens of millions of dollars to hire people that actually work.

[quote]Maybe they should fire Rachel and save the tens of millions of dollars to hire people that actually work.

Don’t. We don’t want that bitch at CNN.

Rachel is working toward being forgotten.

What is Rachel’s long-term career plan?

She's like Oprah.

Next:

R

Ari Melber, you in danger gurl.

Jim Himes is hotter than Murphy. Bigger and stronger too.

R111

Chris Murphy has lost some weight in the last few months and it’s aging him, but he is still super HOT!

Jim Himes is fucking gorgeous too.

They'd make a nice couple. But they can't run on the same ticket. Too much of a white Nutmeg State thing.

I wish Chris Hayes would wear tighter suits to show off his muscles.

Is it possible the Chris Murphy & Chris Hayes fanboys are one in the same, they seem to always pop up together.

I'll confess, I was watching All In the other night while rebounding on a trampoline, when I had the very strange mental impulse to suck on Chris Hayes' nose.

Symone’s dress !!!

[quote] Even the Guests Were Shocked!

That she wore white?

Can you spot one item, living or inanimate, that is not tacky in the photo at R116?

I have no words.

R118

Symone’s dress…I can’t unsee it!

My eyes 👀

Does Symone really need a show? What does she really bring to the network?

R115

This Chris Murphy fan is not a Hayes lover, so no we are not the same 😛

[quote]Does Symone really need a show? What does she really bring to the network?

Fu Manchu fingernails, R120.

Gwen Ifill is spinning in her grave.

Here's the video that Symone posted of her wedding.

Symone is extra Negress annoyance on MSNBC.

[quote] Fu Manchu fingernails

As seems to be so common these days, in every sense of the word.

My question to straight guys, and to Mr. Townsend, are you really all that comfortable having nails like that close to your balls?

Dare I say Mika heavily channeling Dusty this morning. Boof.

Yasmin talks out of one side of her mouth.

R127 Yeah, the other side.

It's Monday.

Will Maddow?

R129 Yes she will.

Jonathan Lemire’s book will be DOA.

Rachel Maddow may have botched that DOJ story tonight…

She's no journalist, R142, but pretends to be one on tv.

[quote]I wish Chris Hayes would wear tighter suits to show off his muscles.

I've noticed that he's been ditching the tie more frequently recently and I'm hoping he gets rid of the jacket too at some point.

The dressed down, but not so exceedingly buff Chris Hayes from a few weeks ago. Making s'mores.

Is Hallie Jackson still with her baby daddy ???

Ack! Jake Sherman💩

Lol, R135; he looks EXACTLY as I thought he would.

You guys can stop posting about his big buff arms now. They look more Symone Sanders than Chris Cuomo.

Symone arms

Chris Murphy + Chris Jansing !!!

He is fucking yummy 😋

Chris Hayes is pulling a double today!

Guess Velshi is tired of doing Rachel's Friday pick up.

SEXY Lawrence O’Donnell working a SUMMER FRIDAY!!!

Dan Goldman was on Nicolle Wallace's show today and said worse than Trump's criminality is that he is deranged. He's my new best friend.

Andrea Mitchell almost fell asleep on live tv.

Time to fire the old gal!

Here’s the video !!!

Do we know why Lawrence torments Rachel at the hand off, but never has a verbal hand off with Stephanie Ruhle? Is it in her contract that she doesn't have to make small talk with him?

R146

Lawrence never did the handoff with Brian Williams either.

Symone Sanders Townsend has something to say !!!

[quote]Symone Sanders Townsend has something to say !!!

She ought to say something to the people dressing her.

You mean her upholsterers?

I have immense respect for Dan Goldman and hope he's elected to Congress representing New York's 10th Congressional District. With that clarified, I chuckle that he's no longer filming from his expansive, luxurious Stanley Kubrick-esque main living space in his multi-million dollar apartment...and is now in a small, non-descript bedroom(?) instead.

A descendent heir of Levi Strauss, his grandparents were two of the wealthiest philanthropists in America. Plus, he has a lucrative law practice. Hey, whatever gets him elected!

How soon until MSNBC gives Symone Sanders the Joshua Johnson treatment -- quietly canceling her show and banishing her to Peacock full time?

R151 He frequently scored 10/10 on RoomRater, especially for his stylish wall art backdrops.

And

Think Dan Goldman lives in a townhouse in Brooklyn.

R152

OMG totally forgot about Joshua Johnson !!!

See Katie Phang & Symone Sanders going that route especially when Jen Psaki lands at MSNBC in the fall.

R153–That’s a law firm office.

Is Yamiche Alcindor paid per her word count? Her rapid-fire word salads are as incomprehensible as Joy Ann Reid's.

Staff changes at NBC with the departure of Pete Williams.

Ken Dilanian will be promoted to justice and intelligence correspondent.

Kelly O’Donnell, senior White House correspondent, will add to her duties coverage of the Supreme Court on an interim basis until a full-time correspondent is hired.

Julia Ainsley will serve as NBC News’ homeland security correspondent, having covered the DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security.

Jonathan Dienst, WNBC’s chief investigative reporter and NBC News contributing correspondent, will continue to work with Tom Winter, Mike Kosnar and the network’s investigative teams as chief justice contributor.

MSNBC need to add hunkier hosts. Sexy Ari can't do it by himself

[quote] Think Dan Goldman lives in a townhouse in Brooklyn.

Maybe he's moved there recently, but he and his wife have lived in lower Manhattan for the last 16 years. Both areas are part of NY's10th congressional district where he's running for office.

The Room Rater images are from his Tribeca home.

Joe, Mika AND Willie have the day off on Morning Joe.

Mika’s mom passed away this weekend.

I don’t know how to save Instagram stories but DL fave Vaughn Hillyard spent the weekend on a boat with Queen Don Lemon and his husband. They face-timed Stephanie Ruhle, who I guess is the Hag of the group.

R164

That means Vaughn made it to Sag Harbor in the Hamptons !

So Morning Joe is going to be Smirky Lemire in

Way too Early,

and

Way too Long.

I'm a Jim Himes & Chris Hayes & Dan Goldman fan boy.

R135 that picture must be from a year ago. He's much bigger now.

Jim Himes is sexy. I wonder if he has any gay men working for him?

[R135] that picture must be from a year ago. He's much bigger now.

As identified it's from 7 weeks ago. His comment "First s’mores night of summer." Wishful thinking on your part. He has rather sloping shoulders in fact.

[quote] So Morning Joe is going to be Smirky Lemire in Way too Early,

I was surprised to see Alex Witt filling in for him on WTE this morning. I assumed he was off on his book tour, which drops this week. Then I was more surprised to see him turn up hosting MJ

I wonder if Alex continues in that role.

And where's the other Alex W. btw?

Keep Chris Hayes away from any and all s'mores.

OH NO Morgan Chesky is doing his turn in Ukraine. He is in Odesa that was just bombed recently.

[quote] I was surprised to see Alex Witt filling in for him on WTE this morning.

Wow! Alex Witt was filling in for someone else ... on a weekday? Has that ever happened before? She never shows up on any other shows aside from her weekend afternoon stints. I figured it was in her contract that she only works weekends. What did MSNBC have to do to persuade her to show up at 5 a.m. on a weekday?

Putin loves Odessa. Chesky just needs to stay near the historical and touristy parts of town, he'll be fine.

[quote] What did MSNBC have to do to persuade her to show up at 5 a.m. on a weekday?

She didn't look all too perky, but did fine. Of course her anchoring and teleprompter abilities put Lemire to shame.

[quote]Wow! Alex Witt was filling in for someone else ... on a weekday? Has that ever happened before?

I don't think she's ever appeared on a weekday in the history of MSNBC.

Morgan Chesky better be okay. It's going to be hurricane season soon, and we need to see him in plenty of tight, wet, unbuttoned shirts.

Is Rachel on tonight? Monday is her night but somehow I have my doubts what with the heat and everything.

R166 I like Lemire. He always looks exhausted though. I think said smirk is him fighting nodding off and looking agreeable.

Well, it isn't a Monday holiday, so I am anticipating The Apparition of the Maddow.

Lemire is an access journalist who misses his meal ticket, Trump.

That book is gonna bomb 💣.

And she APPEARS!

Not only on but ON FIRE!

Seriously, great Rachel show tonight. Even re-hashing a lot of last week's news, it's chilling in her reporting.

One night a week is making her a has been.

Depending on the time of year, Mondays are going to be up against a lot of other popular programming. I agree, one night a week is hurting both Maddow and the network paying her.

R180 It's nice that you offer him that accommodation, but Lemire displayed his characteristic smirk long before he was doing early morning tv. I like him too, but he's fun to dump on. I just recommended purchase of the audio version of his new book at the library - usually takes 2 weeks to come through. I wouldn't waste my time reading it, but it's fine as background while I'm doing other shit.

Too bad for him, Dan Pfeiffer beat him by a month with another "Big Lie" entitled polemic.

Ugh John Heilemann is helping to promote Lemire’s book.

Something about him just rubs me the wrong way, his constant wanting to talk about Trump. Everything leads back to him for these access journalists.

[quote]Do we know why Lawrence torments Rachel at the hand off, but never has a verbal hand off with Stephanie Ruhle?

11th. Hour is likely pre-recorded, so there's no way to interact with the host.

Lemire is very much like the onscreen persona of Rachel...Dratch.

Lemire keeps promoting his book on WTE. Isn’t that against MSNBC rules when the host does this?

It’s a big fucking turnoff.

R191 - not when they know their value.

Seriously when you mention the book 24/7…probably not that great. Let your work speak for itself, Johnny.

Amazon has it as #1 Bestseller!

Um, that's #1 in General Election and Political Process books...

The Leibovitch book is a better read.

Just heard Josh Hawley talk about 1/6.

Does he have GAY VOICE?

Self-promotion is not so much against the rules, as it is inelegant.

If I hear Lemire hack his book one more time this week and the MSNBC personalities chime in on how “great” it is…

And Leibovitch is far hotter (those ears!) than Lemire.

R199

Preach, brother 🙏🏼

"Y'all still owe me about ten minutes' worth of new author fame!," sneered Tim Miller from the discount bin.

Lemire is pretty hot

[quote] The Leibovitch book is a better read.

It's excellent. Even better than "This Town", as the topic is now yet more consequential.

T.Miller's book is a good listen too - as the shaming hypocrites usually is.

Is Gay Voiced Josh Hawley really a Fister Sister?

[quote]Amazon has it as #1 Bestseller!

What else do the interns have to do all day, R194?

Jonathan Lemire is the new Jake Sherman 💩

Morning Joe should just rename itself, The Big Lie by Jonathan Lemire Book tour. They promote it almost constantly.

Now Lemire makes his guests talk about his book and how great it is…smug little frat boy.

Bump

If Lemire still talks about his book next week, Rashida needs to CAN that fire crotch.

Why did Ali Velshi take David Gura’s spot and now never works on weekends? But he does like filling in on MSNBC Prime !!!

I still miss David Gura and his donuts on Saturday morning. They were perfect watching for that slot.

[quote] I still miss David Gura and his donuts on Saturday morning. They were perfect watching for that slot.

We may have lost David Gura on weekends. But think of all the amazing weekend talent we've gained: Katie Phang, Symone Sanders, Tiffany Cross, Alicia Menendez.

[quote]all the amazing weekend talent we've gained: Katie Phang, Symone Sanders, Tiffany Cross, Alicia Menendez.

🤮

R214

Poor Yasmin & Ayman.

Hide your middle eastern anchors on the weekends, we won’t notice.

Another Monday.

Will Rachel creak open the lid and make an sn appearance?

Yep.

Rachel's looking particularly fetching tonight in a simple black blazer.

R218 Her hair looks great.

None of the usual Rachel reveals.

Kinda boring.

Slap a blonde wig on her and she is a skinny Alex Witt. Zzzzz....

Kornacki, khakis, and the big board! I wonder how that sports promotion worked out for him.....

Steve K. seems positively giddy tonight. I can't remember him ever smiling and giggling so much.

And....oh, lordy, Jon Podhoretz is back.

Steve was all khakied up and giddy early today on Morning Joe as well.

I am getting the impression that Kornacki is a closet Log Cabinette and is looking forward to Republicans losing everything.

I couldn't keep my eyes off Kornacki tonight. Yes, as other have said, he had on a big ole smile 'cause he had a lot of races to cover. When he gets excited about elections, he gets me wanting to decipher size under those khakis.

Small. All that flapping material with no hint of a bulge. All brain, no cock.

Does Steve finally have a boyfriend? I'm sure he's had lots of offers.

HOT Senator Chris Murphy on Morning Joe.

Lord take me now, this man is too gorgeous 🙏🏼

Wow, a post Rachel primary night.

The Velshi/Zerlina/Kornacki hours.

What is with Eugene Daniels and those turtleneck sweaters he wears in August in Washington DC? What is he covering up?

Suicide attempts?

Now that Kari Lake has won her primary, she and Vaughn get to continue their slapfight. I love how bitchy Vaughn gets when talking about/to her.

She’s another radical nut job! The only good thing is that she is so off the rails she might just lose. She sucks orange mushroom dick too.

Her only qualification is being a TV reporter FCS. Hobbs has a record in the Arizona govt at the very least.

Kari Lake is the Stewardess on the Republican Crazy Train.

R235 She's already backing off her anti-abortion stance following Kansas. She will say or do anything in the moment if she thinks there are voters dumb enough to believe her. Apparently there are.

It seems like with her former media presence, there should be a ton of contradictory shit on videotape that her opponent can use. If it matters.

Andrea !!!

Someone put her out of her misery!

Yes R237, I was saying the same thing to the TV a few minutes ago. She is a huge embarrassment to MSNBC.

R238

Andrea Mitchell is unbearable to watch !!!

I’d rather watch Ayman in that spot and think that dude is a radical!

One of these days I have to check out Andrea's show.

All I know of her is seeing her on the NBC Evening News, where she will do one scripted segment per night - and where she seems perfectly fine.

Andrea can’t even articulate 1 word, it’s shocking she get 60 minutes to anchor.

[quote] All I know of her is seeing her on the NBC Evening News, where she will do one scripted segment per night - and where she seems perfectly fine.

Some reporters were never meant to be anchors, and Andrea is one of them. And in all her years of hosting her show on MSNBC, she hasn't improved at all.

Is anyone else as hot for Jared Bernstein as me?!

Andrea was a top notch foreign correspondent for NBC when she was younger. I'll always like her for that.

What she's sleeping with. An image ca. 2014.

Being anywhere near Alan Greenspan should nullify anyone. What that man did to destroy the economy was borderline criminal. All it did was postpone the tech economy by decades.

Symone!!!

That’s alot of pink on the tv screen !!!

Eek 😬 my eyes Molly Jong Fast !!!

That is one ugly lady.

JFC Miz Linz Graham is on CSPAN.

Rachel Maddow + Vanity Fair.

Gotta love a pigeon-toed lezbyjack.

R250 Wish she'd pick topics for her development projects that someone cares about. Agnew? Yes, she managed to make it interesting, her skill, but in the end WGAS.

She picks topics that nobody cares about so it seems like she’s smarter than everybody else.

I wish that Vanity Fair article talked about her relationships with Chris, Lawrence. Joy and Nicolle. Or did it? I got bored after reading the first half of the article.

I wish that Vanity Fair article talked about her relationships with Chris, Lawrence. Joy and Nicolle. Or did it? I got bored after reading the first half of the article.

[quote] I wish that Vanity Fair article talked about her relationships with Chris, Lawrence. Joy and Nicolle. Or did it? I got bored after reading the first half of the article.

Apparently, the article was written in the same style as Rachel's show.

Maddow says she chose western Massachusetts because she thought she would dislike it enough that she'd be able to concentrate on her work, finish up and move on. Then she fell in love with it - and one of it's occupants. Every place has it's charms, I suppose.

R256 At least it gives mention that Alex will begin on Aug. 16th.

I'm looking forward to MSNBC coming back today. Nicolle, Chris,and Lawrence were gone all five days last week. And quite a lot happened, too.

Not having the normal crew the night of the Kansas vote was pretty underwhelming.

You can count on Dems and liberal-leaning media to become pussies when it comes down to it. They just don’t seem to have the fight and energy in them. They can’t seem to rise to the occasion. One would wish this supposition to be nonsensical,but it keeps popping up. Does Dump get tired and fail to show his face when needed? His ugly face is everywhere, all the time and everyday. He’s always on the news. He’s always finding ways to raise funding and stay relevant, 24/7 365 days of the year. Like Schumer, Maddow et al. seem to be working for the weekend.

Funny you feel that way because avoiding the media has been a blessing for Democrats to GET SHIT DONE.

Glad that the leaked Dobbs decision put focus on the Extreme Court.

Glad that the Kansas ballot measure put more focus on it.

And out of nowhere, Chuck Schumer pulled the Inflation Reduction Act right out of Mitch McConnell's ASS.

I am getting teary eyed...

Nicole must be on her honeymoon and Heilman is in for the week.

Katy Kay must have a different lighting tech. She looks so fuckable. Gorge!

She looks like a young Joanna Lumley.

Go Katty!

[quote] Katy Kay must have a different lighting tech. She looks so fuckable. Gorge!

I thought she had swapped her ring light for a blacklight or something - she was glowing, including her day-glo lip color. In a very beach cottagey setting.

Chris Murphy on Morning Joe this am.

Looking handsome and exhausted after the Vote A Rama!

[quote] Like Schumer, Maddow et al. seem to be working for the weekend.

Not Sen. Whitehouse. Love him. He's like a dog with a bone, still on the corruption surrounding the carnival that was the Kavanaugh appointment. Along with other Extreme Court mishigas.

Ari just reported breaking news that Mar-A-Lago is being raided by the FBI. Trump has confirmed it. Please let Dump be dragged out in handcuffs.

R267

And Rachel will be on tonight to report the raid !!!

[quote] And Rachel will be on tonight to report the raid !!!

And you know she'll spend the first 5 minutes bitching about how she had to tear up her script and rework the show because of the breaking news.

Trump probably blasted this in the 6pm prime time hour to take away from the Democrats big bill.

Rach !

Anybody notice Rachel's hair is a bit ruffled tonight? Must've been a scramble to trash the original show for the courage of the raid.

R270- the House still has to vote on it and the President has to sign it, so there are other opportunities for the bill to still be in the headlines.

Ben Collins is doe eyed. He’s one of the few men I’ve seen who looks better without facial hair.

^ I want him to ride my tongue 😛

The surprise Nicolle appearance on Rachel's show will have to tide me over until next week.

Stephanie Ruhle looked like she was on a mellow Molly and Cointreau high tonight. She also looked very hot.

Ari was clearly not prepared for Heilemann's toss to him on ONJ's passing. He mumbled about before coming up with a lame lyric reference.

R276

Where Nicolle for the last 2 weeks… Fucking Mike Schmidt?

Yesterday, Stephanie looked hot, Katty looked hot, is there a Foxification of MSNBC?

Ari's dilemma was he was clearly not an Olivia Newton-John fan and had nothing to add to John Heilmann's ode to her. It was an uncomfortable moment and Ari could have handled it better.

Olivia was no Peggy Lipton to Ari.

What's with Nicolle phoning in to her own show?

And the chiron says "On the Phone: Nicolle Wallace. Host, Deadline: White House". Umm, wouldn't people tuning in to this shitfest know she's the host, or does MSNBC think their viewers are really stupid??

Not a shitfest.

Possibly the most critical 2 hours of Republican excoriation on air. It underlined that even on her honeymoon, her political opinions are important.

Is Nicolle really on her honeymoon?

Yes

LOVE watching Michael Cohen on with Ari right now!

R269–Rachel has shed most of her bad habits since going to once a week. No complaints about how the news Gods are messing up her script, and (blessedly) no repeating herself ad infinitum.

[quote] Is Nicolle really on her honeymoon?

She mentioned to Heilemann that last week was an unexpected family matter. Couldn't quite tell if this week is a real vacation - she just said it was all about her "baby".

I'm assuming that's not a pregnancy announcement and she's referring to her son.

R289

Nicolle is only 50, Mike can still knock her up🤰

R288, what about the blinking?

My guess is that Nicolle and Mike adopted a baby, and she is on parental leave.

Just my $.02.

R292

A baby trio w/ Heilemann.

Because John’s wedding ring is for show since he married a dyke.

Are there any early photos of Heilmann with hair? I've looked but haven't found any.

Though somehow I know I'd be disappointed.

R294 - Here's one, but I'm sure there are earlier versions than this

John looks better bald.

Washington Post Carol Leonnig must be on vacation this week. I miss her, she has terrific sources.

Oh bye Ayman & Zerlina.

Now kick off that annoying socialist Medhi.

Tonight, while talking to Cliff Watts at seven minutes into the show, Stephanie Ruhle farted quite loudly, raised her eyebrows and smirked. The panelists (Watts, Yamiche Alcindor, Joyce Vance, and Katie Benner) remained stoic. Within a minute or so, Ruhle shot a sideways smiling glance at someone in her crew, who was apparently laughing off-camera.

Nicolle Wallace you fucked up this week.

Live from 30 Rock, with her 30 Rock pinstripe blazer and 30 Rock hair. It's Maddow

There doesn't need to be THREE parts, let alone thirty-fucking-mine parts for this retarded network.

0/10

Well R302 there is already a part 40.

Watched John Heilemann, in for Nicolle, and I like him - but he sounds nervous or manic or something. It was a bit of a slog. Great to see Phil Rucker though - can you believe he was one a figure skater?

I actually like that nervous energy of Heilemann, I find it funny and weirdly sexy.

Is Phil family?

Is the Pope Catholic, Ethel?

Not all former figure skaters are gay, R307.

I have yet to see even a photo of puppy Axel Rucker. Don't make me send my intern Prancer to investigate, Phillie Ruck-Ruck; where's Axel?!

John Heilemann wore a checkered jacket while subbing for Nicolle Wallace today that made my eyes hurt. Those kinds of patterns never work well on TV. I'm surprised MSNBC let him wear it on the air.

R310

It’s Seersucker.

[quote] It’s Seersucker.

Yes, it was perfectly fine, but on TV, it was headache-inducing.

Yay. Stephanie Ruhle has asked a former FBI agent that these MAGATs should be classified as domestic terrorists because they check all the right boxes. I said as much months ago. Now these Shitlers are threatening the FBI and even doctors in Boston.

Fucking CNN is talking to asshat Mick Mulvaney now. Why? How can anyone take CNN seriously when this man is a traitor to our country? Why are they trying to rehabilitate this traitor? Can they not find any other possible commentator? I’m even wondering why the media was so quick to forgive Bill Barr!? Fucking profit-hungry shitfuck “news” channels selling America away for a fucking dollar! I only hope that when the Dems win big in the midterms that we damn well include regulating cable channels for misinformation and demand that their is fact finding to dispel and make it a felony to pose lies as news.

So much work to do….

***demand that THERE is fact finding to dispel and make it a felony to pose lies as news.”

We also need a 24-hour NON-PROFIT, editorial-free news channel to counter these money-grubbing and even foreign-owned for-profit misinformation channels like FUX to be banned in the US. Fucking ban Rupert Murdock and allow us to sue his ass for any broadcasted false, factually-devoid entertainment masquerading as “news”. If any report can subsequently be proven as false, they can be sued for misinformation or libel. Therefore, it cannot be censorship, but there must be accountability for spreading false, fact-free misinformation posing as legitimate news.

Is there a #40 thread?

Was Rachel on 9/19/2022?

No. Unexplained. An extension of the Alex Wagner show.

There was talk that Rachel would be in London.

Thread #40 seems to have disappeared. It shows up in search, but it won't load.

There is a #41 thread.

Oops. Here's the link to #41 (in the right box this time).
