(81,340 posts)I am NOT liking the crazy-quilt nighttime programming on MSNBC.
I do NOT like the Rachel-on-Mondays and then the rest of the week is different.
Doesn't let Alex Wagner establish fully. Makes her still look like a fill-in. Not liking that, either.
Dammit, Rachel needs to COMMIT. Or blow it off. If she's determined to do one show a week, they'd be MUCH better off putting her on Saturday evenings and let her remake a "That Was the Week that Was" kind of extravaganza. Give her two hours to develop, her way, and bring in whoever she wants for special correspondents or commentators or whatever. Besides, she's good at spotting new talent.

(205,557 posts)And during the summer, there were so many substitute hosts that I lost track of which show I was watching! And what would they do without Ali Velshi?? He can step in anytime, anywhere and do a stellar job! He deserves some kind of award - especially for that series he did from the Ukraine border!

(205,557 posts)That either "executive privilege" (which he no loner has) or his lawyers (who are out of their depth) will "protect" him. He's gotten away with so much (or he wouldn't have been impeached twice!) but this time his cronies aren't there to defend him, and we have a new (non TFG appointed) DOJ!

(22,697 posts)!! National Archives letter to Trump attorney, May 10, 2022.
First note what's missing from the exchanges
ANY CLAIM by Trump's side that he'd declassified the materials.
