The Presidency of the Joes: more like INFRASTRUCTURE WEAK

Murphy and Schatz are pretty decent, not super progressive or anything but at least call out Republican hypocrisy and make simple cases about good things that the Dems should do.\

Honestly that Jerry Maguire clip and Williams’ reaction to it was hilarious, I have no problem with it.

Yeah, this. He’s the 11pm hour of a 24/7 news station. Not a big deal, imo.

And it’s sad that just this alone puts them in the top 20 of all senators.

Seriously, how many legit good senators are there? Is it even 10?

It still amazes me that there is a nonzero number of people who think it was a mistake. It’s his show. He set up the clip. He knew there was no leaked Mar-a-Lago meeting footage. If it was a mistake, the producer would have cut the clip after 2 seconds. It wouldn’t have had the credit in the top corner.

100% planned.

Also, Williams has a reputation of having a sense of humor drier than the Sahara.

Definitely planned. My question would be how high up the flagpole it went? I produced a lot of local tv newscasts and would have never have tried something like that without going to the boss first, for old-fashioned reasons like credibility and stuff.

Guess it depends on how much creative control the hosts have over their shows. That’s probably an MSNBC internal culture thing. From some of their other “named” shows, it seems like they might have a bit more than other networks.

Yeah…its a stunt you’d expect to see on a late-night comedy show, rather than what’s supposed to be a straight newscast. With Brian Williams’ history, he’s likely not doing it without discussing with higher-ups. It may not have even been his idea. I remember I wanted an anchor to flash the peace sign during a story for some reason, but she wouldn’t do it.

Save lives but take the guns that we use to do so, real consistent Jack.

Yeah this isn’t a hate that’s going to get better with time. Some people you hate less with distance and perspective… and some people you hate more. Much more.

Yea. What’s odd is I don’t really think about him anymore. I think the 2 nutjobs from GA and CO are bigger problems now.

Well when it comes to the Republican party at least…

Yeah, I’m not feeling good at all. I mean Biden was even more forgotten and off the radar than Trump 4 yrs ago and he shipped it. Trump is drawing very live in 2024. Even if he does absolutely nothing between now and primary season.

So it’s fine to enjoy the temporary quiet, but there should be no feeling of relief.

Horror movie villains dont spend their days golfing and chowing down on McDonald’s.

Joe Lieberman is who the host of Tales from the Crypt was before he died.

He ain’t coming back. Guy hated being president. He’ll be close to 80 in 2024 too. Given his diet and health, he might not even make it to 2024.

Easier to sit on the sidelines, golf and complain than be required to work and be miserable.

That Marjorie whoever type is probably more likely to get the nod in 2024.

All I’m saying is that’s the kind of thing the hot blonde in a horror movie says. And we all know what happens to her.

There is a chance you’re right, but it’s certainly not a lock.
