I hate Mika Brzezinski ... She is a piece shit.

She just had to bring up Tara Reade even though she and her story have been totally discredited.
Both of Reade's lawyers work either for Trump and or Vlad Putin but Mika just had to end an interview
with multiple reporters and writers with, "Well do you think that Tara Reade will drag down Joe Biden?"
(very very rough quote)

She might as well go and work @ Fox.

He was conducting an interview with the Mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms, and at the very conclusion of the interview he said, "Before you go I really have to ask you this.." like it was some urgent matter, but he asked her about Tara Reade. He "really had to...", almost as if he doesn't have free will. He also saved the really inflammatory question for last, which indicates to me he was (or should have been) embarrassed to ask it in the first place. Why was this an appropriate "must ask" question for the Mayor of Atlanta? What bullshit!

I'm really completely sick not only of the story but the idiots giving oxygen to it.

A proper one, once Tapper had said he really had to ask this, would have been this:

'Why? We are talking about the governor planning to kill thousands among the people of Georgia. We are talking about the lynching of a young black man and the refusal of a district attorney to prosecute murder. No one cares about this but you. Your pretense you have no control over what you talk about, what you bring up, is just stupid. If you want to talk about allegations of rape, how about the dozens of charges of rape and molestation made against Trump, a number of which are in court even as we speak. If you want to know how I feel about that, I think it is disgusting a man credibly charged with repeated acts of rape and molestation ever received so much as a single vote, but apparently that is the world we live in, one where Republicans just don't care about moral character or decent behavior.'

When she was young in DC when her dad was involved. She’s got that ptsd look and is trying to resolve something. I certainly am not saying that it was Biden but she’s got issues here.

who thinks she has created a niche for herself - women's empowerment. And she has enough IQ to think she has to be consistent and glom on to the Reade accusation. Since she lacks IQ, she can't intellectualize or see nuance or provide analytical thinking re truth & fiction.

tactic of attacking the opponents strong point. That will be their counter attack for anything Biden says about Trump's
assaults. Many people believe anything that they see on Fox News even if you prove it wrong. Just like the dead intern
conspiracy works on our side.

accuse your opponent of same thing. It's actually quite deviously effective. A percentage will only hear the bad info about your opponent and never about you. Better than 100% bad all about you.

an attack ready to use. If there was nothing they would pay someone to come forward with
some allegation and once it is out there some people will believe the worse even if it is proved totally false.
They have this allegation about Biden so that will silence attacks on Trump's problems. So that will probably
sway some women to go ahead and vote for Trump thinking all politicians are the same anyway. With Hillary
the Republicans had rumors circulating about her having an lesbian affair with different people. I'll bet if Biden picks
a women running mate like he says they will come up with the same attack on whoever it is.

They always use the same play book;

Race
Sex
Guns
Gawd

Mon May 11, 2020, 09:53 AM
May 2020

I've heard this numerous times maybe even in a years time, but yes in the last few weeks. The idea was first thrown out there by an SNL player , that he could care less about whatever he says on the show. It's a job, it's the narrative they want, he just gives voice to it. Then we just heard Cuomo from CNN refer to it. He doesn't believe in what he does. A long time ago I believed that the talking heads
were "invested" in what they said. They aren't, it's a show they get paid to perform. Who knows how Mika really feels. Maybe it's apparent by who her and Joe used to hang with. The stuff that comes out of their mouths, grain of salt. They are paid to talk for 2 hrs, given their talking points to draw the viewers in. Money to be made. Performers, not journalists.

When I heard her mention Tara Reade right at the end of her interview I paid attention.

It was a drive by "hit job" by a piece a crap.

I find Joe to be really full of himself too. Watched for a long time and now I don't any more. I either watch local news or BBC news in the morning.
