1. Joe was ranting loudly and waving his arms about programs that actually help people

but he parrotted the usual lie about how such programs actually HURT working people...the old lie about how raising the minimum wage INCREASES unemployment. There was some real pushback by John Heileman on that...Mika wasn't allowed to speak...

to pay their employees. Mika said that if the idea was to improve wages and benefits for workers then that did not make any sense in this era of greed and profit.

Joe spewed away with his ReTHUG talking points.

8. Joe was in furious meme-vending mode. Clearly, either Obama landed some punches last night or...

...or Joe missed the whole thing and nothing to work with.
At one point during a rant he looked at Mika and said something like "Don't give me that face!" Rude and bullyish on Joe's part but it's also unfortunate that Mika, the show's supposed liberal balance, can't express herself verbally.
