Up early to see Morning Joe. Evidently their little Mar a Lago caper is over and done with.

[CTyankee]

Just the usual show with usual guests. I went back to bed.

[Dennis Donovan]

1. I went back to watching it.

They still have viable guests, I suppose.

[CTyankee]

2. I think we got too worked up over it. We need to save our energy for all the battles to come when TSF is back in the WH.

We will watch Morning Joe closely after TSF takes office. If they start demurring to him it will become clear that visit was bad news for us. If not, we can say that Mika and Joe learned a lesson. FAFO, kiddos.

5. It may give you comfort to watch him

But please understand he is a sick compromised individual and he doesn’t give a damn about our country. How does his show move this country forward? It is entertainment not news.

[CTyankee]

7. Because he covers the news of the day which may seem like entertainment to some people. Meacham is a good guest

with a distingushed background and I like to hear what he has to say https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Meacham.

I thought that Joe and Mika's little visit to Mar a Lago was terrible and reflected badly on them, but we'll have to see what they do when TSF get back in the White House.

9. As I said if it gives you comfort go for it.

Listening to talking heads does not do it for me and the head man and his mousy wife are collaborators. If trump tells them to jump ,they will ask how high?

13. Collaboraters is the right word for them. Modern day Vichi French.

[CTyankee]

14. Well, I'm gonna watch and see what happens. You may be right and if you are I'll be among the first to say you were.

[Sedona]

3. I really like Jon Mecham

He's on all the time and its the only place I see him regularly.

[CTyankee]

4. Yep. I like him too and his offerings of historical precedents and what history teaches us.

I also like many of their other guests. I like Rev. Al and all the women they have on. I like the guy with a pearl necklace (I forget his name). MJ has a broad spectrum of contributors and Mika has a wonderful array of women from lots of sectors. Today they had Molly Jong Fast (who is Erica Jong's daughter) and she's great.

[CuriousSavage]

17. I was a complete news junkie.

I gave up on CNN so I would watch MJ and MSNBC. I never agreed 100% with Joe but having grown up in a old school republican household, I had tolerance (not acceptance) of his views. I also enjoyed the quality and diversity of the guests.

I was a complete news junkie. To a point where it was really difficult to have a conversation with anyone. So few have the time or inclination to learn about the topics that are dear to us. It seemed that people just gave up and revert to entertainment. Facts are complicated and to many, simply boring. I attended a dinner party right after the election where the conversation for nearly the whole night centered around pop culture, entertainers and scandals. I wanted to flip tables and grab people by the collars.... you know that feeling.

Since election day, I have gone complete cold turkey. No MJ. No Rachel. No Lawrence. Just DU.... I just can't wrap my brain around all that is now in jeopardy. The world is on a precipice and no one outside notices. We have to preserve our sanity and energy for what's to come.

[Fullduplexxx]

6. It's disgraceful to go back to watching him ... imo

[Voltaire2]

8. this is how they get away with it

we are so habituated to our media and platforms that even the transition to overt fascism does not change our behaviors.

[CTyankee]

10. You may be right but we'll find out, won't we?

I'd rather know what they're coming up with rather than not know.

[Voltaire2]

11. huh? are you claiming that the only way to understand what is going on in the world is 'morning joe'?

[CTyankee]

15. Did I say that? MJ is one media place. They offer one perspective.

Trust me, I have other sources of information.

[Keepthesoulalive]

12. Sacrifice is a dirty word in America

[Grammy23]

16. A lot of people left MJ and soon

Declared ….Never again would they watch the show. They were DONE with Joe and Mika and their show. So….
If they go back to watching him, how are they any different than Lindsey Graham saying he’s done with tRump but going back to him days later. As if all is forgiven.

I stopped watching the day they announced their visit at Mara Lago and have not been back, even out of curiosity. I have no plan to go back. They showed us who they are …..and I believed them.
