The Joe & Mika Trump Facepalm: Color me "not convinced."

I think it's going to be four years of the Tweety GWB Syndrome...one minute shaking their head in disbelief, the other ruminating over how great Trump must smell.

‘Morning Joe’ demands Trump fire aides after rocky start: ‘The show has begun really badly’



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/morning-joe-demands-trump-fire-aides-after-rocky-start-the-show-has-begun-really-badly/

The crew at Morning Joe, whom Trump has reportedly leaned on for advice in the past, excoriated the president on Monday morning, and said that he needs to wake up to the fact that he’s actually president now, not just some touring circus act.

“It’s show time,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said of Trump’s presidency. “And the show has begun really badly.”

In particular, Brzezinski singled out Trump’s decision to spend much of his speech at the CIA headquarters this past weekend bragging about his crowd sizes while attacking the media.

“Whoever didn’t write, or should have written, or should have edited that (CIA) speech should go today — out, goodbye, done,” she said. “And whoever did not coordinate the CIA event correctly should go today… It’s showtime and nobody can afford this.”

They're claiming some people are suggesting he ALWAYS fight back with lies and they're doing the degenerate a disservice by this advice. It was obviously bannon who told spicer to go out there and lie his ass off.

Even now, they apologize for the simp. Oh, it's not him, it's his advisors.

Fuck off you two lovebirds.

13. Yeppers.. a formulaic, nonsensical parade of pretend-outrage/ mild propaganda

Joe....worldly (modestly handsome), tall guy ...in-the-know politically

Mika... "Gal-Friday"...eye-candy for the older guys watching who don't mind that she's more educated than they are, speaks languages other than English...and is not eating a monster-burger with sauce dripping on her wet tee shirt

Mike Barnicle.....crusty old newspaper guy...he's been around the block...more than a few times. and he's always there to be the butt of the joke, whenever there's a story about old people, or people from Boston

Willie Geist...."Golly-Gee-Willikers" ...the "young kid" (who's nearly 40).. a Jimmy Olson-esque protege, learning at the knee of the elders..

Their "guests" also fit the mold..mild chatter..always pushing things from middle-ish to right..any lefty guest is ridiculed and laughed at, or shut down by Blabber-Joe who will not let them finish their point..

It's their job to normalize them.

Fuck 'em. Hope they get heartburn.
