[tblue37]

4. My initial reaction was "Meer kats?" because I love them.

[Demonaut]

2. fuck toad

[mahina]

5. Bite him in the leg, Chuck.

[SunSeeker]

6. Now that Chuck's leaving he gets some guts.

Better late than never I guess.

[Funtatlaguy]

7. Leaving? Going where?

[Ilsa]

8. Trump called for his firing, but

I haven't heard that NBC has acted on it.

[SunSeeker]

9. There's been talk for months about replacing him with Shep Smith or Nicole Wallace.

It's got nothing to do with Trump. Chuck's ratings just aren't that good compared to the other MSNBC stars. He's still there for now, however his days appear numbered. But if he starts showing some guts, his fortunes might turn around.

21. Will he still be Political Director at NBC?

Are we just talking about MTP or the whole shebang?

[SunSeeker]

24. MTP is all that I heard. nt

[hlthe2b]

32. I think they were only talking about the weekday MTP shows, not his Sunday show

[Cha]

26. Ironic that NEVER trump, Nicole Wallace, is doing

so well, and Todd who can be a Gaslighting Idiot at times isn't.

[Totally Tunsie]

10. Didn't see the episode, but I have to agree with the post title.

IMO, Chump has reached the point where he is just bored with being president, and really doesn't give a steaming shit what happens from now on. He's done and out.

[CatWoman]

12. i'm watching the replay now

[Totally Tunsie]

13. Thanks so much for the link...

I'm bookmarking to watch later.

[CatWoman]

15. the panel is very good

even tho Angela Mitchell is on it.

They are really telling it like it is: Trump is a loser idiot. And incompetent to boot.

[callous taoboy]

31. What a boot-lick this Giroir is, though.

Side-stepping questions, splitting hairs.

[Cha]

27. I bet Putin still cares.. so what's a Russian Dictator to do with

his Puppet who's apparently bored now?

[JI7]

11. dumbass Todd

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. how can you give up something you never were?

reality tv asshole, snake oil salesman, lazy asshole, pervert, serial liar.

those are the jobs he's been doing.

[abqtommy]

16. +100 Spot on!

[mzmolly]

17. He's never been a President,

Chuck.

[Talitha]

18. I wish they were all so outspoken from the very beginning.

[gratuitous]

19. Even chucktodd sees it

Trump has indeed given up. He's abandoned the country and left it to the dubious mercies of the pandemic. There will be no assistance from the federal government, and the states (which by law must balance their budgets) will have to shoulder the financial burden of this public health emergency on their own. States will not be able to transact the public's business, and billions of dollars will be wasted in duplicative efforts.

It's bad enough that Trump doesn't give a fuck, we knew that about him from the get-go. What's worse will be the efforts of certain media outlets (*cough!*Fox!*cough*) to support Trump's abdication, supported by the work of Russian troll farms sowing division and hatred. Thousands more Americans will die, gasping their last breaths surrounded by machines and strangers.

Were the ratings worth it, Mr. Moonves?

[niyad]

20. why in the HELL are you amazed, chuckie? It is not as if he has ever demonstrated an iota of

genuine caring.

[SunSeeker]

25. Right? Was Chuck in a coma for the last 4 years?

[Cha]

29. IKR!

[Xolodno]

22. Well...

Parscale was fired....and he was probably feeding him false polls to shut him up.

They halted ads when it was obvious they weren't working and retooling...and this late in the game, ain't good.

Now he's getting real polls. Moscow Mitch said he had until Labor Day to change things....but now tells everyone in the Senate, feel free to piss on Trump if it saves you. He can't draw rallies.....and Herman Cain died after attending one. The Convention is back in NC...and limited....no big pomp and circumstance that he craves. Economy going to shit because he tried to wish away the pandemic...which didn't happen....and was made worse because his son in-law said its only affecting blue states, who gives a shit....but couldn't fucking add 1+1 to realize, it would spread to red states, etc.

Its like one of his casino's. He assumed it was just a license to print money....but if you are incompetent, you can bankrupt a casino, with bad management. And like his casino's, once the gig was up...he gives up and walks away.

[yardwork]

34. Agree with all you said except about the casinos. That was probably deliberate money laundering.

[Wounded Bear]

23. When did he start "being president?" nt

[Cha]

28. "Todd is amazed trump's golfing now?" he hasn't been paying

attention then.. and that's his job.

That's what trump was doing in January, February, & 10 days in March while pronouncing the "COVID a democrat hoax".. carting around the Freaking golf course.. & staging rallies.

[callous taoboy]

30. Maybe 50% of the people crowding the sidewalks in the tourist town I reside in

last weekend were wearing masks. I took a drive to see what people were doing, and it was not pretty. Hundreds of people packing the sidewalks, some masked, some not. I drove past a popular outdoor venue outside of town and it was maybe 10% masked, and people were shoulder to shoulder drinking at a long bar under a shed roof.

So this Giroir completely sidesteps the question of a national mask mandate, said people would likely just rebel. THEY ALREADY ARE. The reset should've happened in June- Shut it down again and ticket people not wearing masks.

[yardwork]

35. If the message to wear masks had gone out last March, and never been politicized.

Everybody would have worn masks. Trump told his followers not to wear masks. So here we are.

[whttevrr]

33. Fuck Chuck Todd - especially his commercial about informing people - Fuck Him.

Inform the Public? Not My Job, Says Chuck Todd

https://fair.org/home/inform-the-public-not-my-job-says-chuck-todd/

NBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd‘s declaration that it’s not his job to inform viewers when politicians spread misinformation was noted by several progressive blogs today, including Talking Points Memo.

Appearing on MSNBC‘s Morning Joe today (9/18/13), Todd responded to Ed Rendell’s claim that Obamacare opponents are full of misinformation about the program by explaining that this was because Republicans “have successfully messaged against it.” But wasn’t journalism’s job to expose misinformation? No, Todd insisted; if the public was misinformed about the Affordable Care Act, it was the president’s fault for not pushing back:

What I always love is people say, “Well, it’s you folks’ fault in the media.” No, it’s the president of the United States’ fault for not selling it.

It’s sad that NBC‘s White House correspondent thinks his job is merely to convey politicians pronouncements, with no care about whether they are true or false. In fact, scrutinizing claims, particularly those from powerful officials, is an essential part of journalism. It’s embarrassing to have to cite elementary principles to one the nation’s most influential reporters, but Todd should consider reviewing the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics, where, under the heading “Seek Truth and Report It,” the very first tenet implores journalists to “test the accuracy of information from all sources.”
