"A criminal enterprise that runs from the Southern District of New York to Stalingrad"

I'm just gonna say it...Ari Melber's show today ain't gonna cheer you up.

Panel discussion of Trump going for re-election to avoid prosecution, and the average for presidents who are incumbents getting a second term.

Yeah, we're in uncharted territory, and anything could happen, but if you're looking to lift your spirits, perhaps watching a different show today would be your best bet.

1. Why? What shit came across today?

2. They were just discussing the impeach or not to impeach scenario...

...and all roads led back to Trump getting re-elected to avoid indictments.

He's got Rep. Al Green on now. He wants to move forward with impeachment, but also compared Republicans in the Senate to "waiting for help that's not going to come."

3. I watch Ari Melber's show less and less lately because it seldom "cheers me up". The quality

of what he has to offer has deteriorated to the point where I seldom tune him in unless it is a genuine heavy news day and I hope he may have a breaking update.

I don't care for the way he compliments himself and his constant "to be fair---" comments remind me of those "fair and balanced" folks. I also find his lame over-reaching incorporation of hip-hop quotes jarringly inappropriate when very serious matters are being discussed. He seems more concerned with his shtick than with thoughtful commentary.

4. Ditto.

5. Yes...today was one of those working on the laptop, MSNBC on in the background days

But everything you listed adds up to why I'm neither a fan nor a regular viewer.

I basically "watch" Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. Everyone else is background noise. Used to watch Morning Joe but can't handle Joe or Mika these days. They've become full-time SNL caricatures of themselves.
