Ken Dilanian is going to need some DU love.

On MSNBC the host tried to introduce Ken for some breaking news. Suddenly you see Ken's head look down and he says in a low breath, "Oh, Shit. Fuck." And then they cut away.

I can tell you, I WANT to know what that breaking news was all about.

So I am not sure who said it, but it was perfect....especially since Craig Melvin said something right prior to it that the Trump Administration would not be sharing intelligence info with the Biden team.

He said to Obama when the ACA was passed. "This is a Big Fuckin' Deal!" softly that could be heard by millions.

but, after reading this on DU, I 'rewound' to that moment, it was clear as a bell, wow and lol.

I, too, really, really, really want to know what he was reacting to when he said what he said.

So sorry for the profanity I used on air last hour. I was experiencing some technical difficulties and mistakenly hung up on the control room, though my mic still was on. Perils of playing producer, cameraman and tech support all at the same time from home. #2020 Upside-down face

That's actually a big relief given the portfolio he holds re national security and was about to discuss some news in that area!

until the GSA declares a winner and also that President-elect is not getting the PDB -Presidential Daily Briefing which is not how it is handled traditionally.

12. Let's face it. Many of us would be apologizing all day long if we had to atone for every time

14. You know how married couples have their own language?

Well, since one of my children married someone from Massachusetts, we find ourselves resorting to colorful F-bombs when we're clowning around. We say we're practicing for when we get a chance to see the relatives.

So, my tolerance has vastly improved.
