Am I the only one up waiting for morning joe to start?

[bravenak]

I had stopped watching him during the campaign, but now I'm interested in wtf he will have to say about Sessions.
I'll see how many minutes I can last watching him and mika flirt and tell lies.

[StrictlyRockers]

1. Al Franken 2020

One can hope.

[bravenak]

2. I'll take him!

[TexasTowelie]

9. Mrs. Franken might have something to say about that.

[bravenak]

11. Haaaaa haaaaaa!!

[PearliePoo2]

3. Waiting right with you.

Scar is an avid reader and fan of the New York Times. He always has their paper on the desk in front of him and frequently refers to what articles are above the fold.
NY Times is doing great work on this story about how Obama admin. made sure the intelligence was preserved before Dump could destroy it.
Thank you President Obama for caring and loving our Country.

[bravenak]

5. Oh, this is going to be great.

I am way past ready to have the shit storm continue. Time to investigate everybody around trump and find their crimes one by one. His fans are totally losing it right now. Everything is fake news. When the impeachment starts, they will rat his ass out for immunity....

[sunonmars]

4. Probably zero, probably wont even mention it.

[bravenak]

7. I think trump stopped watching because joe and mika are MEAN to him, lol

They slobbered all iver him and now he's bitter

[PearliePoo2]

6. Oh, this should be good! Al Franken will be on Morning Joe!

[bravenak]

8. That's my main reason for going to bed early so I could wake up for this

[bravenak]

10. DAMN! They started out with the Bill Clinton clip of him lying under oath with sessions lying

[kentuck]

12. Trump has already tweeted!

Bragging about how much the stock market has gone up!

The stock market is in the middle of robbing investors of trillions of dollars as soon as they bust the bubble.

[bravenak]

13. OMG!!

Such a self centered tiny little man baby

[bravenak]

14. Looks like Joe and Mika aint having it

[AngryAmish]

15. Do you people just watch TV all day?

If I had to watch cable news all day I would do away with myself.

[GusBob]

20. Lol it's the hook, I'd guess.

I dunno it will be 14 years since I put down that remote, but as I recall they hook you in and rope you down keeping you on the edge of your seat for the next breaking news story, after a word from our sponsor.....

They also like to gin up the outrage to keep you coming back. That's what works for our reality TV star president

To each their own tho, if brave wants to watch it more power to her

[bravenak]

16. Says sessions might not be capable of doing the job

[Cosmocat]

17. No, and neither should you

Or anyone else here.

This is like some sick Charlie brown/Lucy thing going on a decade now.

News flash, him and his psychophants are going to gingerly tap dance around it like they always do.

Our mission should be killing the shit show and supporting Chris Cuomo.

[bravenak]

18. I'm waiting for Al Franken to show up

[Cosmocat]

19. I get that

I like Franken, too, but ...

[PearliePoo2]

21. Well, Mika came out and just said it:

"We need to find out about Trump's ties to Putin."

ummm....yeah we do, Mika.

[bravenak]

22. She's only about a year late

She acted like his campaign manager until he won

[bravenak]

23. They're playing the tape of sessions accusing clinton of lying under oath

Hypocrite

[bravenak]

24. Damn near the entire show has been dedicated to russia, trump, sessions...

[leftynyc]

26. Begging for more details

Are they dismissing this reports (both the NY Times and the Wash post stories)? Or are they taking it seriously?

[bravenak]

28. They are taking this more seriously than I have ever seen

Asking why lie if you don't need to. Nonstop questions about the meeting. They only spent a few minutes talking about the dow reaching 21000, the entire rest of the time has been dedicated to saying Sessions needs recusal, resign, fired... It's getting real.
They keep talking about Sessions going after Bill for lying. Saying he's trying to be cute, lying.

[leftynyc]

39. Thanks for the report

Looks like donnie's big speech on Tuesday gets knocked off the front pages. Has anyone asked or explained why the hell the Russian ambassador was even at the Republican convention?

[bravenak]

41. No. Nobody has even brought up they why of it all.

But even Halperin is a bit concerned. This has been illuminating. Franken came on and called for him to recuse himself and do a press conference, even Chaffetz is calling for a special prosecutor...

[leftynyc]

42. I want to hear what Issa has to say

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird (read suspicious) the ambassador was even at the convention?

[bravenak]

43. Issa has already pretty much folded

I think he was on Maher saying that Sessions might needs to recuse himself. I think it's weird that the Russian ambassador was there, but hell, I feel like this whole thing has been surreal. We live in interesting times and this time will be studied for centuries to come.

[Hortensis]

45. For sure. Assuming western-style democracy

prevails, which I do believe it will. That even an eternal optimist like me isn't sure, though...

[bravenak]

25. Just watched sessions smirk and lie

[stonecutter357]

27. K&R!

[kentuck]

29. They just had Kevin McCarthy on hte show.

And from his body language and the way he answered the question, he looked as if he may have met the Russians also?

[bravenak]

30. I was thinking the same thing

I wish it was Morning Joy instead of Morning Joe. She would be on it.

[uponit7771]

32. +1, or he knows MANY of Benedict Donald's band of bigots meet with Russians and the Russian ties

... are deep

[bravenak]

31. Why Is nobody defending Sessions?????

I expected someone to come out and defend him or try to double talk us this morning. Nada.

[bravenak]

33. Even Kevin McCarthy said he needs to recuse himself. Baby Marco says they need a special prosecutor

Shit is getting real as fuck

[roamer65]

34. Wow...I keep re-arranging the letters in"trump" to see if I get "nixon".

No luck...so far...lol.

This is crazy treasonous stuff, kids.

[bravenak]

35. Oh you are funny!!

[tanyev]

40. No, but you can get "putrm" which is very close to "putin".

Highly suspicious.

[bravenak]

36. Showing paul manafort

[bravenak]

37. Implying that trump has ties to russian oligarchs

[bravenak]

38. Saying that trump lying about fake news is not working

[kentuck]

44. Ted Cruz is talking about "nothing burgers"..

but says he never met the Russian ambassador. He is acting like a good Republican.

[Hortensis]

46. Any mention in passing of Secretary Wilbur Ross

in passing? That's likely to be a huge Trump-Russia conspiracy boot poised to drop.

[mcar]

47. The drip, drip is turning into a flood

Great report. Thanks brave.
