Mika can go to hell! Woke up to her on Morning Joe brow-beating a new Democratic Rep

[Atticus]

to "give Trump the money for his wall". "Democrats can stop this pain"!

I have already called MSNBC twice to tell them how disgusting Mika's bullshit is.

We did not bust our asses to elect a Democratic House that would eventually kiss Trump's ass! "Money for the wall" = choosing to live under an insane dictator.

Please let MSNBC know how you feel. I ended my comment with "CLICK"!

[blue cat]

1. I thought the same thing.

Pressure should be on senate republicans.

[TrishaJ]

39. Me, too.

I was angered when Mika asked "what are the Democrats doing to end this?" Or something similar. I would have asked Mika, "Well what do you suggest they do?? Cave in to Trump??"

[Squinch]

2. Mika has a lot to atone for for her role if normalizing trump.

This isn't how to do it.

[Pachamama]

3. I am certain her father if alive would totally disagree with her & say the opposite

Shame on you Mika....

[TreasonousBastard]

4. As one who is furloughed, I wonder just how long I can hold out refusing the wall...

I'm not as bad off as some, with no kids to feed or health care expenses and relatively low monthly expenses.

I have, however, wondered if it is worth it for me to shoulder this part of the cost, even though I don't want that fucking wall, either.

I'll let you know if my car is repossessed and I am evicted. All for the wall.

[lapfog_1]

12. been there

as a federal gov contractor in 1995/96 for the Newt shutdown.

I was never paid for the time off... had to borrow money and empty my meager savings.

I learned to hate republicans that year... still hate them today.

[TreasonousBastard]

19. Newt didn't hurt me personally back then, but I hated him for being Newt...

I can't hate all Republicans-- my parents were decent Republicans and I grew up with my grandmother having pictures of Ike all over the house.

But modern Republicans, yeah most of them are scum of the earth.

[MrsCoffee]

25. So if we give in on the wall, how long before you are held hostage again?

[TreasonousBastard]

28. How long would you go without needed income because of an unproven fear...

of it happening again if you give in now?

[MrsCoffee]

29. Not long at all.

I feel horrible for you and everyone in your position.

I didn’t want you to have to go through this once, let alone have to worry about it happening again, but that seems to be where we are at. I fucking hate this man.

I don’t blame you one bit for wanting it to end.

5. Mika and Joe are not worth watching ..

Joe Scarborough



Position At The Time Of Iraq Invasion: MSNBC analyst and host.

Scarborough: "Congressman [Jack] Kingston [R-GA], Give Me A Quick Response. How Could There Be Anyone Left On The Planet Today That Doesn't Believe That Saddam Hussein Has Weapons Of Mass Destruction?" [MSNBC, MSNBC Reports, 3/5/03, via Nexis]

Scarborough: Toppling Saddam "Will Mean The End Of His Weapons Of Mass Destruction." From a March 2003 MSNBC segment:

Scarborough In April 2003: "In Each And Every Case, [Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld] Were Exactly Right." During an April 2003 commentary, Scarborough mocked Iraq war critics and wondered when they would apologize to the country for being "dead wrong." Scarborough also wondered whether the "journalists at The New York Times and NPR or at ABC or at CNN are going to ever admit just how wrong their negative pronouncements were over the past four weeks." From a MSNBC segment on April 9, 2003:

Scarborough In April 2003: People Should "Apologize" To Bush Officials For Claiming Americans Won't Be Greeted As "Liberators." During an April 2003 MSNBC segment, Scarborough reacted to a quote from media writer Eric Alterman -- who later became a Media Matters senior fellow and is now with Center for American Progress -- by stating:Scarborough In April 2003: People Should "Apologize" To Bush Officials For Claiming Americans Won't Be Greeted As "Liberators."

36. Let's not forget his time in the house.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Scarborough

During his congressional career, he received a 95 percent lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union.[15] He signed the Contract with America. Scarborough served on the Armed Services, Judiciary, Government Reform, and Education committees. In 1998 he was named chairman of the Civil Service Committee.[16]

Scarborough was one of a group of about 40 freshmen Republican legislators who dubbed themselves the "New Federalists" after The Federalist Papers. Scarborough was elected political director of the incoming legislators. The New Federalists called for sweeping cuts in the U.S. government, including plans to "privatize, localize, consolidate, [or] eliminate"[17] the Departments of Commerce, Education, Energy and Housing and Urban Development. Gingrich tapped Scarborough to head a Republican task force on education, and Scarborough declared, "Our goal is to get as much money, power, and authority out of Washington and get as much money, power, and authority into the classroom as possible."[6] Rep. John Kasich (R-Ohio), then chairman of the House Budget Committee, adopted Scarborough's language eliminating the federal Department of Education in the 1996 House Budget Resolution.[18] The budget passed the House by a vote of 238–193.[19]

Scarborough supported a number of anti-abortion positions while in Congress, including the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, that made it a crime to harm a fetus during the commission of other crimes.[20][21]

Scarborough sponsored a bill to force the U.S. to withdraw from the United Nations after a four-year transition[17] and voted to make the Corporation for Public Broadcasting self-sufficient[22] by eliminating federal funding. He also voted for the "Medicare Preservation act of 1995,"[23] which cut the projected growth of Medicare by $270 billion over ten years, and against the "Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996,"[24] which raised the minimum wage to $5.15. Scarborough had a conservative voting record on economic, social, and foreign policy issues but was seen as moderate on environmental issues and human rights causes, including supporting the closure of the School of the Americas and defending accused terrorist Lori Berenson.[6][25]

Scarborough was one of the 228 members of the House who voted to impeach Bill Clinton in December 1998.[26]

38. If it walks like a duck ... quacks like a duck

It is certainly not a cute little 🐶

[EffieBlack]

6. Mika's a sanctimonious hypocrite

[samnsara]

7. omg i heard her this am and turned the channel.....

[UniteFightBack]

8. I love Morning Joe and like most of the folks they have on. nt

[Atticus]

9. So you agree with her this morning? nt

[UniteFightBack]

14. No I didn't agree with her, but I don't really think she is blaming the Dem's...she was doing an

interview. Should she sit there and pow wow and yes i agree the R's are terrible it's all their fault? She asked a question...what can the Dem's do and that allowed for a reply...the person replying should then reiterate that this is rump's fault etc etc etc.

I can handle hearing things I don't agree with and I don't just write off the person because of it.

[Atticus]

17. Your characterization of what occurred as simply "she asked a question" is not at all

what I witnessed. Repeatedly asking "Why don't the Democrats give Trump his money for the wall?" is NOT just asking a question. It is pushing an agenda, a preferred option.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

30. +1

I like to look at Mika, and her laugh makes me laugh, but, sometimes Mika.......

[aeromanKC]

10. We don't negotiate with terrorists.

Nuff said.

[Sherman A1]

11. Didn't watch

Never Do,

Whatever they say is completely meaningless to me. I will not support the 24/7 Breathless Breaking Noise, Infotainment which serves only to fill airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

31. So true Sherm.

+1

[democratisphere]

13. I am sure Mika is thinking about ALL of the federal workers that are suffering

horribly without getting their paychecks while many are still told they must show up at their jobs. I get why she feels the way she does; people with paychecks first! Senate redumbliCONS siding with drumpf's completely ineffective tunnel-under-it wall need to be targeted for a barrage of phone calls in addition to removal from office in the next round of elections.

[UniteFightBack]

15. This is what the Republiscums are counting on...our big hearts crumbling because people are

suffering. NOT THIS TIME.

[democratisphere]

16. At the same time we can not act like heartless scum of the Earth

idiotic redumbliCONS that are destroying our nation AND the very people that are still trying to keep our country from falling completely off the rails. Always remember, the dictators agenda is to totally dismantle our government.

[LenaBaby61]

18. At the same time we can not act like heartless scum of the Earth.

IF Dems give in on this shutdown, then it's over for them as a party. Fatso will be shutting down the government at will--anytime he damn well pleases because he knows Dems will CAVE because they're NICE.

Putin's running this country right into the ground, thanks to tReasonous tRump allowing him to.

[democratisphere]

21. drumpf will be removed from office in 2019 thanks to Mueller, Schiff and a host of many others.

Realistically, the shutdown can not be allowed to continue any longer. Something sane needs to be done amongst ALL of the insanity.

[LenaBaby61]

23. drumpf will be removed from office in 2019 thanks to Mueller, Schiff and a host of many others.

And how do you know that fatso won't once again shut the government down because he ONLY wants thuglicans to be able to vote? I mean, since rational Dems HAVE to bow down to his fat ass and give him what he wants. You gotta remember, putin's running this country thanks to fatso. I mean this fool is destroying this country right along with it's institutions, and the world is scared to death because he is allowing putin to have more power over everything. I mean he may very well get rid of NATO. What if he shuts down the government because Dems object to him taking us out of NATO? thuglicans don't CARE they love seeing folks suffer. They might as well continue backing him up in the Senate because they also know that Dems are rational and will CAVE in if WE hold out long enough and allow our fatso--along with US--to continue destroying this country/world.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

33. Mueller shouldve acted long ago. For sure since the new congress.

What good is justice on a barren moonscape of lives bc the country imploded?
dt is the anti-christ killing the greatest country on Earth. Id love to choke putin right out. Little sawed off runt.

[mnhtnbb]

41. We can support the GoFundMe that has been created by GoFundMe

for federal workers.

https://www.gofundme.com/govshutdown

Share it far and wide.

[lilactime]

20. She always eventually shows her true colors.

[mnhtnbb]

22. I saw that this morning, too. Blech! Dems CANNOT cave.

Wanted to throw things at Mika this am on Morning Joe. She was blah blahing about what the Dems could do to give that orange a$$hole money for his damn wall. Because all these people are hurting.

Fu*k her. She and Joe enabled that buffoon.

The air traffic controllers and TSA need to walk off the job NOW. There is a gofundme to support federal workers that is bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars. https://www.gofundme.com/govshutdown They should go to the head of the line.

We need to damage the Republican party for the next generation. They are nothing but evil scum sucking toadies for the rich and traitors to their country.

[LenaBaby61]

24. BRAVO!!! And right on the mark!!!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

35. No caving. If you have to disappear like Mitch...then do so. If thats what it takes.

Dems need to play like the gop. Reporters can be counter-productive. So can having to have new ideas/things to say, all the time while the gop does nothing but destroy our institutions.

[duforsure]

26. As soon as I heard her say stuff to the Senator that way

I turned to another channel ,and it'll be awhile before I'll watch that show again.

[kentuck]

27. I think the morning CNN team is more intelligent and interesting...

They seem so to me.

[violetpastille]

40. +1

I don't think MSNBC is everything it's cracked up to be.

I still remember how Hayes, Matthews, Maddow covered run up to 2016.
The only one speaking "truth to power" was Lawrence O'Donnell. The rest of them were pretty useless.

[Me.]

32. I'm Surprised She Was Even There

She and her counterpart have a very cavalier approach to working a full week, despite the millions they are paid.

She is also the person who kept saying Hillary needed to get off her high horse all the while providing Individual 1 with cover.

[Takket]

34. Democrats have the mandate

They were elected to stop drumpf and his wall and the public polling shows that. Why should we allow the minority to dictate immoral and money wasting policy?

[Miles Archer]

37. I'm reading the transcript and I can't fucking believe it.

Telling Dems to "take the high ground" and "end the suffering."

JESUS.

[area51]

42. Mika: "Democrats can stop this pain"

McConnell & Trump can stop this pain.

There, fixed it for ya, Mika.

[Gothmog]

[Sugarcoated]

45. My new congresswoman

I like her.

[pecosbob]

44. MSNBC like all cable news analysis and commentary has an agenda

They are not broadcasting to bring political enlightenment to the masses. They continually push a corporate, conservative agenda, which is not surprising given it is owned and controlled by corporate, conservative entities.
