Mid-life, consenting adults Mika Mouse and Scabs take it to another level: A shared dressing room!1

First was the June sort-of confirmation of long running rumors of being a couple after both divorced, then last week came the "Furries" episode full of "Chase me, catch me, show me your tender Concern!1" and then this week came the sweet sweet lovers' tiff, which is the subject of the link/below that is, therefore, old news not needing to be rehashed here. But in said link at the very end is the just-so-teasing new news that the hottest item since TAYLOR-BURTON and MATALIN-CARVILLE: *Share a dressing room*!1 It might be a nod to corporate cost-cutting!1

[font size=5].... Word is they share a dressing room — so perhaps they made up after the show.[/font]

Can you answer that?

I suggest you self-delete and find something worthwhile to post on DU.

It is germane to political talk.
Mika was supposedly hired as the liberal co- host of this show and Joe as the conservative co-host.
But, over the years she has been mostly muted by the very aggressive and bombastic Joe who runs the show and Mika us more of a token sidekick.
They started making joint appearances on the road traveling together.
Both have recently divorced their spouses.
It is considered an open secret that they are now an item but MSNBC won't let them discuss it.

I do not care about their relationship, whatever it might be. It's none of my business, and I don't need to see gossip about it on DU. There is zero information in this OP, or at the link. It is pure showbiz gossip, and doesn't belong here.

Most liberals/progressives still consider MSNBC their main network and source of political news.
If something is happening on that network to move its premiere shows to the right, I think that is interesting.
Who they sleep with, no. That's not my business and I agree that is gossip.
But, the fact that they are now together as a couple does, and has, changed the show as Mika is now very deferential to Joe and he completely runs it.
Therefore, this shows emphasis and tenor is much more conservative than it used to be.

(Saved/never-posted from 02-02-16: ) From Joe SCABS on MSRNC to the Faux Propaganda Network, the byword has been that this is "the year of the outsider" or the “insurgents” or (they might as well say THE PERPETUALLY CONSTIPATED), and just now on The Place for Politics (MSRNC) all these blabberers have been sharing their convinced opinions and passing them off as rarefied wisdom. Just now some young no-name said that the anecdote of the day was running into an Iowa voter who is trying to decide between: TRUMP and (one of the Dems)! Yep, and there have been other anecdotes in recent weeks that there are some confused beings out there who could go for either TRUMP or (the other one of the Dems)!!!!!!!!!

Yaaas, it's all just a mishmash of confusion out there. Among the blatherers for sure.

So just now two TRUE IOWAN talk show blatherers told Kris JANSING, "The country is SO MAD - on BOTH sides" and their prediction whether there would be "record turnout" was: "On the (Repuke) side maybe, not on the Democratic side."

The most weird, FRINGE nutcases ever seen, often claim that they are speaking for "the COUNTRY".

On the other hand, I admit that I have gotten angrier AND MORE MAD day by day to see the ugly faces of these WEIRDO FRINGE NUTCASES.
When tin pot politicians and media yakkers cite “THE COUNTRY” we ask ourselves, what country are they in and why didn’t any of them ask or hear me – which certainly makes me mad haha!1
The question is, who are the FRENZIED and UNHINGED who think they are “the country”? Two small groups, those who have been angry since the John Birch Society days and the media yakkers who chase their own tails.
Tin pot politicians and media yakkers have always cited “the country” as thinking this and wanting that, which they apparently know from the voices in their heads. In the past first year of this ridiculously long campaign, they have agreed to tell us that “the country” is angry and that this is year of the outsider.
The nuts don’t represent the country. The country largely doesn’t vote and certainly doesn’t put itself out there to run for office thoughtfully and with integrity. It’s the nuts who run their mouths the loudest and are delusionary about having a calling to run.

Why does anybody in the country need two years of blathering and billions of wasted dollars sunk into making up their minds.
