Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are monsters.

When will MSNBC get them off the air? They helped Trump. They tried to help Mark Halperin revive his career even as he threatened NBC executives. They’re nauseating to watch. Joe never comes to work and Mika spends all her time on the air selling her book and her speaking tour. They’re both paid $8 million a year to be corrupt assholes. How the fuck do they keep their jobs?

At least Mika's Me Too story had a happy ending.

I always thought Halperin had BDF. I'd rather enjoy sucking a protein shot out of him. Mika and Joe? Mika and Joe who???

by Anonymousreply 2September 10, 2019 11:34 AM

Never been a fan of either, though I softened a bit as they have been bashing Trump and Joe coined "Moscow Mitch." But trying to ease Mark Halperin back into broadcasting is wholly unacceptable.

“I cannot imagine how difficult this experience has been for them. I hope this will be a further step in my continued efforts to fully comprehend and make amends for the pain that I have caused.”

So lame. Every abuser, after fighting to keep information private, says he “can’t imagine how difficult this has been” for victims. They know exactly what they did and they know the fallout and they know how much they’ve paid lawyers to keep it private. Yet they claim ignorance—someone was upset by my rapey ways? Why, the thought never occurred to me!—and then move on with life.

I wonder if Joe wagged his dick in Mika’s face or if Mika asked to see Joe’s dick. Who’s the aggressor in their predator-prey relationship origin?

Is that all it takes for Joe to be embraced, calling McConnell a childish, Trumpesque name? Joe is partly responsible for giving us Trump via the intentionally good PR he and Mika gave him. And all he has to do is act like a toddler and say “Moscow Mitch! Moscow Mitch!” to win favor? This country is killing itself.

I loathe Joe and Mika but pretty much the entire media helped Trump. They certainly were not unique in that regard. The media's coverage of the 2016 election was execrable. But then again it's not surprising. Outlets like NYT et al helped Bush get elected in 2000 with their relentless Gore bashing. The media has Clinton Derangement syndrome and has for years. Mika and Joe both have the brains of a doorknob. I never understood how anyone can stand watching them for more than a couple of minutes.

R8 In this case, there’s video evidence of Trump telling Mika not to ask him any questions that will make him look bad, and her promising not to. She is no journalist. She should not be on television.

by Anonymousreply 9September 10, 2019 12:06 PM

The whole thing where they fell out of love with Trump seemed orchestrated to me. If I had to guess, I'd say that they pushed their adoration of him with that Christmastime morning chat thing where they were in their pajamas as Trump was blathering about using nukes on whoever, and decided that angle had run its course, so they went the opposite direction in order to stay "relevant."

Most of the anti-Trump folks in the media don't actually give a shit any more than the pro-Trump people do, they're just looking to make a buck. You can't trust any of them.

R9 That's appalling. I was aware that they were buddies until Trump insulted Princess Mika but I hadn't heard about that .

R11 Here.

“At another point, Trump says, "Just make us all look good," and Scarborough responds, "Exactly." Later, Trump says, "Nothing too hard, Mika," referring to upcoming questions, and Brzezinski replies, "Okay."”

R10 Exactly. They all make a big show of being scandalized by Trump NOW but during the election they treated him as a harmless amusement. As if he were a toddler using naughty words. I usually dislike the phrase "call out " but I would like to see some outsider journalists and news outlets seriously call out or publicly shame all of the members of the press who screamed incessantly about Clinton's e mails while giggling over trumps antics for about a year.

LADIES OF DATALOUNGE! It is I, Mika Brzezinski! I have come to grace you with a guest post.

Ladies, you have to know your value. And for the low, low price of $29.99, my book can be yours today.

Ladies, how do you think I got my career to this point—being paid $8 million per year by a major news network to utter inane remarks and to sell my shitty books and lectures? By sucking my boss’s dick?

Well, yes.

But that’s not the point, ladies. The point is that you, too, must know your value. Mine is between my legs. Perhaps yours is making crocheted figurines to sell on Etsy. Maybe it’s teaching flamenco dancing! If so, then your value is considerably lower than mine. And that’s OK!

My book will help you get in touch with your inner value. And if you buy now, you’ll get a FREE book to give to your valueless best friend, AND a three percent discount on my lectures series!

But wait! If you order now, you’ll also get my daily planner, “Joe’s Favorite Blows: Seven Daily Habits of Highly Successful Professional Ladies.”

So ladies, what are you waiting for? Order now.

Over to you, Willie!

Simon & Schuster just announced a new $500k deal with Mika for her next best seller, “KNOW BEFORE YOU BLOW: Salary Negotiations for The Ambitious Woman.”

They can stay on the air as long as they continue to humiliate and mock Drump with the truth of his pathetic existence and taunt him with the existential legal threats that await him and his kin upon retirement.

Getting rid of them before we get rid of the orange dotard would only help the orange dotard...oh wait. MAYBE THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF YOUR POST?

Could you be a tiresome, Dump apologist?

Nice try Inankette

Here's why they often phone it in from Florida.

[quote]The “Morning Joe” anchors have been reportedly on a home set in Jupiter, Fla., but using Washington, DC, backdrops. Sources said the reason for the locale was a “tax dodge” — albeit a completely legal one — since Scarborough has a home in Florida and would need to spend a certain amount of the time there for any tax benefit.

I don’t understand megarich people and their hoarding ways. Joe’s reported net worth is $25 mil. Mika’s is $20 mil. Why do people who have so much money go out of their ways not to contribute taxes? They have more than we do and we all pay taxes. It’s a really fucked up system.

Oh. My. God. Joe Scarborough is so fucking annoying.

I turned on MSNBC this morning and “First Look” was on with that cold Yasmin host (did they fire Ayman?), and then it rolled over to Morning Joe.

Joe Scarborough whined and whined and ranted and whined like a fucking incessant child for 10 minutes and I just hit the mute button in a rage.

You can tell he is a Republican by the way he delivers his opinions. He’s a fucking baby. He WHINES. He rants. He is self-aggrandizing. Every day he is on he does these soliloquies and just goes on and on in his big baby bitch mode and says barely anything. Of course this morning, as he often does, his whining was about Trump and it amounted to “I was right and they attacked me.” So...as with Trump, it’s always about Joe. Even in a pandemic, it’s about Joe.

God, I detest him.

Anyone who watches CNN, Fox or MSNBC is brain-dead.

Cable news is a 24/7 steaming lump of hysterical horseshit.

Everything Joe and Mika do is with an eye towards getting invited to the right cocktail parties on the DC party circuit. They are no different than any big-city queer trying to get into the right hotel room at a circuit-party.

by Anonymousreply 23April 6, 2020 12:02 PM

I honestly can’t watch it anymore. Both Joe and Mika are intolerable.

It’s funny, when I first started watching a few years ago, everyone here complained that neither Joe nor Mika was regularly on the show; at best, Joe would be on via satellite. But “the stars” were not earning their paychecks.

Now both are on every day and the show is unwatchable because of it!

Despite their names sounding like Archie Comics characters, Willie Geist and Katty Kay are actual journalists. Claire McCaskill and John Meacham are fine. Even Donnie Deutsch, who has no journalistic credibility, is OK compared with Whiny Joe and Mika “Wow Wow...WOW!” Brzezinski.

Actually, they had a good point, the Govern of California is acting more like a President this government than our actual government. He's contacted other governors both Dem and Republican and is building a coalition to group buy all the medical things they need instead of tripping over each other trying to out bid for the most supplies. Something the President should be doing but is incapable of comprehending.

At the very moment Joe and Mika were trashing Drump on their show, OP, full of borscht and bravado, posted took a huge shit in the form of its post.

Whatever you think about Joe and Mika, they have been consistently, factually revealing the lardass in the wh for what he is.

OP, I've translated my post in Russian so you can read it more fluidly

В тот самый момент, когда Джо и Мика разгромили Дрампа на своем шоу, OP, полный борща и бравады, разместил в своем посте огромное дерьмо.

Что бы вы ни думали о Джо и Мике, они последовательно, фактически раскрывали салазок в том, кем он является.

At least they call a spade a spade. You don't see Fox and Friends pointing out how Trump just goes on TV and riffs for 2 hours whereby most of it is lies. Oh no, they will say what a great job he is doing. Joe and Mika are one of the only handful of TV people that will put his shit out bluntly so all can see the emperor has no clothes.

Good luck with that Boris, it's not state run TV, like you have in Russia, Joe Scarborough is the creator of the show and part owner. His show makes more money for MSNBC than you can imagine.
