JFC. Andrea Mitchell just asked Rep. Dingell if any Dems would support McCarthy "for the sake of the institution"

Republicans are will to destroy the institution and our democracy. but leave it to Mitchell to find a way to implicate Dems in their mess

[underpants]

1. When the hell is she retiring?

[SoCalDavidS]

2. Seems Like Never

Looks like she might be going to Thurmond or Grassley route.

[dalton99a]

3. The Greenspans are destitute and need her income

16. See who?????

I RARELY do this and get angry when it is done to me, but here goes . . . . . can you link to something that says that?


Note: this is NOT a defense of her. I can't stand her. But the allegation you made seems a bit over the top.

[markodochartaigh]

49. Can't they go on Social Security like

her husband's friend Ayn Rand did?

[Rebl2]

18. I thought

she was retiring end of last year.

[Tetrachloride]

4. Hey MSM. She's your problem and she's dumping on us.

what the fuck are you doing ? Waffle House ?

[Ray Bruns]

8. Someone needs to ask her on live TV "What are you, stupid?"

And just lay into her and her idiocy.

[Tetrachloride]

9. ++++++

[Caliman73]

29. At the very least...

Someone needs to say, "With all due respect Andrea, that is a really stupid question. Have you ever, ever in your career asked what Republicans could do to preserve any institution as they have gutted government programs? Have you ever once asked Republicans to take any responsibility for the damage they have actively caused this nation?"

[Gore1FL]

5. This begs the question as to why a Speaker McCarthy would be good for the institution, too.

[dalton99a]

11. +1

[iluvtennis]

51. These are great toons - thanks for posting. n/t

[IA8IT]

6. I heard lots of that talk yesterday

[MontanaMama]

7. She's not asking rethug leadership

to get rid of liar liar pants on fire Santos for the sake of the institution. Gawd she is ridiculous.

[Cha]

63. Yeah, when your enemy is Fucking

up.. you don't go in to save them, Andrea!!

I wonder what Rep Dingell replied?

smh!

[central scrutinizer]

10. If the situation were reversed

There’s no way the GQP would break ranks and vote for a D. And M$M would be screaming 24/7 about how it’s all the Ds fault and interview many chortling Qs.

[malaise]

12. Has she ever asked a ReTHUG about their failed coup

That is all

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. Everything is our fault whether we're in the majority or the minority. ASK A GOPer, Mitchell!

[Lonestarblue]

24. WaPo has an opinion piece today with a headline saying Democrats must defang MAGAs.

Since when are they our responsibility! I guess that is recognition that the incompetent Republican Party leaders have no clue what to do about anything, especially the loonies and liars that form the MAGA base.

[Shrike47]

14. I hope he responded with 'is that meant to be a joke?' And then walked away.

[LisaM]

27. Actually, it's "she".

Debbie Dingell now holds the seat (she's terrific). It was formerly held by her late husband, John Dingell.

[Midnight Writer]

15. The Dems stepping in to "fix" this would be like enabling a self-destructive junkie.

The Republicans are addicted to looniness, power-grabbing, sabotaging government.

Sometimes you need to hit rock-bottom before you realize that you need to change and improve.

If someone always steps in to protect you from the consequences of your actions, you will never have the motivation to change.

Democrats are tired of cleaning up Republican messes, and they should be. It is disgusting.

[iluvtennis]

17. ** NO ** Andrea Mithchell. This is the rethugs sh*t show...let them handle their business. n/t

[Traildogbob]

19. God I hate that

Waste of air time. For the good of the institution we need to convict and jail all those that attempted to destroy it. I gotta go outside a throw something. Just fucking send that witch out to pasture. Useless.

[iluvtennis]

23. I feel you. n/t

[Traildogbob]

31. Now

Chris Jansing is spewing the same shit. Why won’t Dems step up and help. Did they ask why not one Republican voted for Insulin caps, voting Rights, and other critical legislation for the good of the “institution”. Don’t normally watch either of those, just checking in to see vote totals.
Dems are doing their job, voting in unison every time. And getting more votes than Kev. Fuck MSM.

[iluvtennis]

47. Yes, indeed. the talking heads on TV always want the Dems to be the bigger people. Fk that. n/t

[republianmushroom]

20. Andrea, since when does the republicans give 2 hoots and a heller about

the "institution" ? You do remember Jan. 6th, 2020 don't you ?
Christ, she's got more gall than Mitch.

[dchill]

21. What a boob.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. My answer would be FUCK NO.

[Pacifist Patriot]

32. Mine as well. And in exactly those terms.

[BumRushDaShow]

37. McCarthy burned EVERY bridge that existed between the parties

and didn't even keep a back channel going.

[keithbvadu2]

25. Would any republicans support Hakeem Jeffries"for the sake of the institution"

Would any republicans support Hakeem Jeffries"for the sake of the institution"

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. This

Screw them

[MarcA]

39. +1000 n/t

[Meadowoak]

26. Andrea the idiot is a washed up has been that never was.

[twodogsbarking]

28. Which institution is she in?

[Botany]

30. Andrea Mitchell to, Rep. Dingell will the Democrats help in the GOP's fucking America's...

... democracy? Good God in butter in 2021 60 to 70% of the House GOP voted to support the overthrow
of our Constitutional democracy.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. Oxygen thief says what?

[llmart]

35. Egads!

I don't remember her ever asking any Republican, during the TWO impeachments of the Orange One, if they would vote to impeach for the sake of the institution of democracy.

She can f*** the hell off (the air hopefully).

[Warpy]

36. She's poisonous.

I hope Dingell had the presence of mind to ask her if Republicans were willing to do the same.

[Emile]

38. Damn, she that fucking stupid?

[jalan48]

40. Privileged and out of touch.

[DownriverDem]

41. repubs are trying to get

the Dems to help them. Jefferies has already said that the Dems will not help them.

[hibbing]

42. Laughable and terrifying at the same time n/t

[aggiesal]

43. My response would have been ...

Why don't (R)'s vote for Jeffries, "for the sake of the institution"?

Jeffries only needs 6 (R)'s votes, while McCarthy needs at least 16 (D)'s votes.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

44. Know people hate Andrea but think it's a perfectly valid question

[JHB]

52. The perfectly valid response is a hearty laugh.

[maxsolomon]

53. Particularly from her focus, which is centrist and institutional.

However, there's simply no reason to help them out.

Yet.

Let's see where we're at on MLK day. Maybe McCarthy will have some concessions to trade (Dems keep their committee assignments, the J6 report is not slandered, drop the Hunter Biden shit, etc).

[Laura PourMeADrink]

66. Next MSNBC anchor asked almost the exact same question.

I hate myopia

[grantcart]

54. I think the issue is that her questions to Republicans never really puts the onus on them

For example if she has a Republican on now she would be likely to ask "Should the Democrats do more for the sake of the institution" rather than "How do you account for this historical meltdown which the Republicans are responsible for that is harming the House of Representatives."

Her question about Hillary's emails was a valid question, her repeating it over and over was not.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

67. Get that. But does that mean every single thing she asks is

Right wing inspired? Sorry, just sick of the cancel culture pile on. Is she intellectually lazy? Likely yes. It's not like anyone, other than Dems are watching

[treestar]

70. It is implying our side should give in to help them

in the opposite, she'd never do that.

[appleannie1]

45. I have never cared for her but she has become so senile she no longer even begins to make sense.

She should have retired a couple years ago.

[Joinfortmill]

46. Retire, already.

[Meadowoak]

64. Andrea, retire already, your husband needs you at home!

[frogstar0]

48. He should ask her if any republicans will vote for Jeffries "For the sake....."

He should ask her if any republicans will vote for Jeffries “For the sake of the institution.” Especially since he has the most votes.

[orleans]

50. exactly, there she goes again! get her off the TV! she drives me crazy nt

[dlk]

55. Republicans in chaos and Democrats should fix it?

Twisted logic, to say the least.

[tavernier]

56. Did she ask Andrea when she was going to retire?

For the sake of journalism?

[milestogo]

57. Why doesn't she STFU!

[LymphocyteLover]

58. JFC! WhY wOn'T tHe DeMoCrAtS lEaD???

[KPN]

59. I hope Dingel laughed at her for asking such

an ignorant question; a question that totally ignores the “elephants” in the room!

[Cha]

60. What did Rep Dingell say? & Andrea

Mitchell Stinks to High Hell.. SMELLY!

[Upthevibe]

61. RandySF............

She's AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Retire already!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FakeNoose]

62. The Democrats already HAVE the solution, Andrea

His name is Hakeem, and he's patiently waiting until the shit-show is finally over.

[MontanaMama]

65. Right?

6 votes for Hakeem (5 now that the one rethug voted "present&quot is a whole lot easier to achieve than Kevin finding 20 votes from the insurrectionist caucus.

[RandySF]

69. +1

[Prairie_Seagull]

68. I think she is well past her retirie date.

Smell is getting awful.
