1. It gets tiresome, doesn't it?

The day I walked away from that bullshit show, I started feeling better. I've been advocating that others do the same, ever since.

"Hey you know what they just said on MJ?" I told him he had to stop that shit or I was going to block his calls forever LOL. He stopped watching now also.

11. The truly outrageous Morning Joe comments will show up, here on DU.

So why waste time and bolster the ratings of MJ, by watching it? Find a good book or something.

That's my advice to DUers, and I'm sticking to it. Glad your Dad came around.

4. It doesn't matter once I've seen the headline

It is more of the "I just don't understand why people decide to take the abuse every morning" scenario that I ponder.

6. I just tuned in briefly and got exposed to a poll

that "shows" Clinton and Trump tied nationally. Sure.

Then there was George Will's column "A fitting final chapter to 2016’s sleaze sweepstakes:
Hillary Clinton’s latest scandal shows there is no such thing as rock bottom in these presidential campaigns"
repeating the lie that the Clintons stole from the White House and others.

I came to see how they were presenting latest developments but left, too disgusted to stay for more.

Will won his Pulitzer in 1977 and he's ending his career in the gutter. Forty years of trying to support the lies the Republican Party has come to depend on in lieu of usable truths has corrupted him entirely, just as it has most party activists.

9. Joe displays similar characteristics as Trump.

After watching Joe throughout this election cycle, I came to the realization that he appears to exhibit similar characteristics as
The Donald: self-absorbed, bully, talks over his guests when they are not on his page,
I would imagine it's all about the bass/I mean ratings!
And Mika?!? Doesn't have a clue...
Stopped watching last week,
they appear to be after ratings, rantings,
and right wing talking points.
RIP morning java

12. I do myself a big favor & just don't watch.

Others should do the same. Save yourself from high blood pressure. 😃

14. It can certainly be frustrating when people have different habits than we might.

It can certainly be frustrating when people have different habits than we might. It's good you brought this to our attention. Now we finally have absolute knowledge, first-hand from you yourself that different people are, well... different people. Truly amazing. There's a short-story or a possibly a novella to be found in your premise, I'm sure.

15. Frankk Bruni was interesting today, talking about male chauvinsim against HRC, then he abruptly

said to Mika (who is off camera) "Why are you looking at me like that?"

I wonder what faces she was making to him...she seems to have a limited range of expressions..
