Joe Scum and Mika are defending Trump v Ramos

[malaise]

Mika went as far as to say that Trump didn't throw him out - that the security guards threw him out - apparently she missed Trump telling them to do so.

Joe Scum said Obama wouldn't have tolerated a lecture. Willyidiot said comparing Trump with a President was a stretch. Obama has tolerated lectures and hard questions without having people dragged out.

Remember Rumsfeld and Ray McGovern

1. Maraschino cherry atop the nutcake was Barnicle saying Trump handled it very well, though

he (Trump) will never get credit for it.

And, irony of ironies, Howard Dean, who got steamrolled out of a Presidential nomination campaign for allegedly seeming unstable, gets to comment on Trump. And then gives Trump credit for handling it well after allowing Ramos back in.

2. I agree with a comment in another post on this topic -

If the same thing would have occurred during a Hilary Clinton news conference, these same clowns would have lambasted her.

[merrily]

3. I am tempted to say "And if it had happened to Sanders, he would have behaved much better--and media

would have ignored it entirely." However, I try to avoid statements like that. Anyone can say anything about something that never happened.

4. So glad I skipped the TV this morning.

What is wrong with this people. That exchange aside, did they listen to anything else that Trump said in that news conference? The man is a lying, crazy, egotistical nutbag. He is like a really bad white rapper. The worst. Can you imagine a state of the union speech like that? The media are afraid of him. They don't want to be the next Meghan Kelly. They can't handle it. But I can tell you that the Latino community is hoppin' ass mad. We don't necessarily unify around everything...but we are pretty solid about this. Any democrat has their vote if Trump is the nominee and Ramos is revered in the community. Trump couldn't have done this to a worse person.

7. The hacks are all avoiding content

Form as in vulgar reality TV bullshit lies is great for ratings.

8. Glad to hear "hoppin' ass mad." Should be! But "these people" are just doing what that show does -

promoting a moderate conservative viewpoint and - in election seasons - working to get conservatives elected. It's not a news show, and lies and distortions are common.

It IS telling that even a moderate like Joe chooses to support Trump v "la raza." Just one more event in a long stream of evidence that, despite demographic progression, the GOP establishment has decided to remain the white supremacy party for as long as possible. To that last, expect a lot more electoral fraud and voter suppression. I worry big time about electronic vote rigging.

BTW, the NY/DC media/politician/government-insider establishment, heavily represented on MSNBC, have a group dislike on for Hillary Clinton. Always have. She's not one of them, and boy do you see that on Joe. In 2008, a long-time Joe regular was banished -- poof gone! -- after calling out a obvious lie about Hillary being repeated for weeks by MSNBC and other mainstream media for what it was. Not just banished from Joe, from the entire MSNBC lineup. I think he was with Congressional Quarterly, Roll Call or something like that. Haven't seen him for a long time.

11. For some weird reason...

...many around here expect MSNBC to be something other than another tool of the oligarchs. I think they were fooled by the brief appearance of some liberals in the last decade.

5. Verbatim

Morning Joe defending Trump kicking Jorge Ramos out of press conference

Joe:
"this guy"
"clearly yelling questions out of turn"
"the guy flew all the way out there"
"his 15 minutes of fame"
"pretending he's Walter Cronkite"

Barnacle: " He will get very little credit for it. Trump handled that VERY well"
Mika: "let him back in. Took questions"
Barnacle: "Yeah"
Mika: "When he calmed down"
Barnacle: "Yeah"

6. Joe Scum would kill for Ramos' ratings

Way more people watch Ramos than his crap program

9. Good god.

How condescending.

[underpants]

10. Yes that's what my take on it was as I watched it.

Spot on

12. I jut cannot watch them. Some real journalists needs to square off on them. nt
