Still, you can simply not give a damn about Joe and Mika. With trump that is not an option, even if you tune the orange menace out completely, you are still affected by what he does (and says!) in a myriad ways. That is the difference.

True for Trump—but Joe and Mika (with whom I disagree a lot about a lot) have been relentless in exposing Trump’s lies and bad judgment since he won.

They’ve both known him for years and years—which is why he was a frequent call-in “guest” on the show—but they maintain that the Trump of today is not the Trump they used to know.
And they don’t need the publicity.

I think he is both. Even bullies get lonely, and need company more than most, if only to drown out the yammering inside their head.

Wait 'til Trump gets wind of this sculpture displayed in proximity to his Chicago skyscraper. The piece wasn’t created specifically in response to his presidency; give credit instead to the inspired person in charge of selecting summertime artwork for the city’s new riverwalk development.

Not a prayer of that happening. This tweet business is easy to understand soap opera stuff. Muslim bans, voter suppression, healthcare suppression–those are all way too complicated for today’s media to cope with, and to be fair, a lot of people just are not interested. This tweet brouhaha is very much like the missing white woman of the week story, to be fixated on endlessly to the exclusion of all else.

The National Fucking Enquirer? Now that’s hard nosed journalism right there! Mika told Joe that Kellyanne said that Steve told Sarah Huckabee that he thinks that she should dress for success, but Sarah told Sean that Ryan told her that Trump loves her Summer Table Cloth line and that Ivanka will be selling it next year, and Mika is just a mean girl that needs to know how to please her daddy like Kellyanne, and that Ryan is just a dream, and…look there’s a sale at Penny’s!

“They also revealed that the White House at one point threatened them with a negative story in the National Enquirer.”
Each week when I am at the supermarket checkout the National Enquirer is usually staring me in the face.
Every headline is a recrimination against a Trump nemesis. “Megyn Kelly sick! and divorced!” etc.

Have you no shame, sir? Using sarcasm in a hilarious way to denigrate the feces thrower in the White House? Just, just … awesome.

God bless David Cronenberg!

Look at Trump’s cabinet. A good portion of them are as unhinged as Trump. Ben Carson? Crazy, to the bone. Betsy DeVos. Rick Perry. Sonny Perdue. Jeff Sessions. Scott Pruitt. Linda McMahon. These people shouldn’t render judgment at a high school talent show, and they’re running the nation.

Trump is what happens when 26% of eligible voters elect a con-man reality TV show host for President.

The White House apparently called Joe three times with an offer to spike the National Enquirer story if Joe would call the President to apologize for the Morning Joe coverage. Joe refused.

But it begs the question: if Joe and Mika “have been relentless in exposing Trump’s lies and bad judgment since he won,” why didn’t they report on this attempted blackmail scheme when it was happening?
