Man, Joy and some of her guests really skewered Nancy Pelosi this morning.
E.J. Dionne was the voice of reason at the end, imo.

2. Joy is for Impeachment NOW. She has made this very clear when she appears on a show
I disagree, I trust Nancy Pelosi

3. Yes it was pretty pathetic that they don't UNDERSTAND the strategy and DUH impeachment is at
the end of it. That comment that was made about Nancy offering prayers went completely over her head. I'm sorry I forgot her name and I do like her but not this comment.
I mean she was taking that comment literally??? Does she not understand that was a BODY SHOT...not a real fucking real call to prayer. |

4. Indeed, I thought it was more like a 'bless your heart' moment...
with the intent of prodding Trump.
Tiffany Cross, btw. |

5. I saw this segment too. Joy seems to be looking for
a niche. It was terrible. But I think it's designed to appeal to those viewers who respond to outrage journalism. I get what Speaker Pelosi is doing. Remember she's second in line to the presidency. She has a lot more information about what's going on than we do and I absolutely trust her.

10. I, for one, have had enough outrage journalism.
I need some calm, reasoned analysis.

6. I love Joy, but she's not a lawyer and doesn't understand legal and legislative procedure
She keeps making assumptions and statements that just aren't true, either legally or factually. And whenever anyone tries to correct her, she just argues with them.
It's very unlike her. |

7. I listened to Rick Wilson last night
He had a really funny line about 'rushing' things. The three things that should never be rushed?
Sex, barbecued ribs and impeachment. ![]() But something Wilson said and reiterated by others was the strategy that Nancy Pelosi appears to be using at the moment: death by a thousand tiny cuts. For the time being, the courts are turning in Democrats' direction. Each decision Trump loses exposes him, wounds him, makes him bleed credibility. For the cultists, no amount of evidence will ever be enough. But for those who still have cognitive function, the piling on effect will and is having an effect. The worrisome thing is the latest offense: giving Barr access to our IC communities' files to punish Trump's perceived enemies. Each and every day, Donald Trump and his enablers cross the line. We really are in uncharted territory. |

8. Thank you E.J. Dionne
You're right he was the voice of reason today.
Jason Johnson was the opposite, trashing Pelosi with lies. If he is so outraged he needs to put his name on a ballot instead of sniping from the sidelines. This is the DU member formerly known as Trumpocalypse.

9. Used to Be A Big Fan
Have been turning the show off since she started stomping her foot for impeachment. She and her guests have been totally obnoxious lately. And I certainly do not appreciate them kicking Nancy around. Who are they to think they know better/best? It's crazy when a Conservative writer (j. rubin) is a voice for Dem reason. And I do wish Joy would stop talking so fast, there's no need.

13. Yep. I no longer watch her
She was not listening to anyone disagreeing with her and showed disdain. I turned it off when she subbed for Rachel and I no watch her morning show

11. I lost interest in AM Joy.
I am somewhat surprised at her on air persona lately. I actually find her kind of obnoxious. I think she has been throwing critical thinking out the window, which frankly surprises me. I guess graduating from Harvard doesn't guarantee that someone thinks things through.

14. That May Be The Most Disappointing Thing
She used to be such a critical, incisive thinker, she ran circles around the other anchors. Sigh.

15. I don't understand
She was always so well-prepared, thoughtful and sharp - she and Rachel were in a category unto themselves. And while she had a point of view, she was always respectful of others and didn't force her opinion on her guests.
But you're right. Lately she's been very different and her impeachment or else approach is making her unwatchable for me - a big deal since I used to work my weekend mornings around her |

16. That's It Exactly
There was a hole in my Sat./Sun morning after I saw each beginning and had to turn. And I don't understand what has happened either.
