Mmm... Velshi’s not my favorite (I’m suspicious of people with a background in business reporting in general), but he’s had some pretty good arguments with Republican guests about how almost every developed nation has a better healthcare system than we do, going point by point as to how they deliver better results at

Eh... It took them less than six months to realize Gretchen wasn’t working out. Kelly was a bit of a bigger-name get, though, and presumably has a better contract to go with it.

They exist purely to be anti-feminist, and often end up being anti-women, anti-LGBTI and often racist, as well.

Mmm... I wasn’t able to see her yesterday, but I’d say she’s one of their lower tier hosts at the moment. She gets flustered relatively easily, and leans a bit too much on her experience covering Trump’s campaign.

I don’t think I’ve heard of it before, actually... Was it better or worse than that CSI: Cyber spinoff?

Ah, I wish I had been there for it... A plot point so nonsensical must have invited some hilarious responses.

...Wait, what? How did that work?

I’m somewhat worried about the latest directive from the Justice Department to the state’s electoral commissions, but... Honestly, unless they openly steal the election Russia-style, I don’t see how the Republicans hold onto power in the midterms. Pretty much everything is breaking against them, Republican governance

And honestly, even with their current “report the controversy” goal... The way they do it is cringeworthy. Inviting two people on the air to yell at each other and lie about basic facts makes for bad TV, on top of not being very informative.

It’s a road of knives for any Republican in office, I have to say. If the press from this gets bad enough, all the cries of “Fake News!” from the dead-enders won’t be enough that normal party members will overlook their representatives defending obvious treason - and this current “But Russia is our friend!” weirdness

My guess is it’s because MSNBC knows how to defend themselves (see the statement issued by the network the last time Trump went after Mika - and, for that matter, the way Morning Joe flipped the story on him by accusing him of attempting to blackmail them, and how the rest of the network spent the day calling his

I kind of want it to be Ivanka, just for the “E tu, Brutus?” moment, but there’s really not a chance at all of that.

I’m reminded of another quote, “Are you taking the minutes of a criminal conspiracy?”.

If he’s smart enough to understand how dangerous this is then, yes, probably. Trump doesn’t care much about anyone but himself, and it’s not like Ivanka was implicated.

You know, I always knew Miss Universe was involved in something shady.

This is when the cockroaches start scurrying away from the Trump clan, yes?

It’s ironic, really. All of the “Chelsea’s totally being set up to run (despite no evidence of this happening anywhere), we have to stop her!” crazies make me really, really want to vote for Chelsea for president.

This election really did see the death of standards. It used to be that real news sites believed that their statements had to be sourced in something real, that they could spin a story beyond anything reasonable so long as they could tie it back to something “true”, and call their interpretation an opinion. But this

Hope he gets the fuck out of policing.

Murder an innocent man, be paid generously for it, then shuffle off to another police department who won’t ask too many questions about why he left his last precinct?
