WTF!?

NBC finally dumped Chuckie Toad and replaced him with Kristen Welker. Her first guest (in a pre-recorded interview) will be none other than... wait for it... hold your breath... make sure you're sitting down... TFG. What a monster coup (no pun intended) for her.

I'm really at a fucking loss with this decision.

Not be watching Welker.

Who ever approved this should be fired. Now we know why Walker was never promoted. Dead in the water.

I guess CNN will be having that asshole on their network soon, because they have to you know, spread that bastard around and get him on as many networks as possible or ad, revenue monies, clicks, and views to keep their pockets swole with money as youngsters like to say

To watch it. I generally think that guy takes up too much head space . . .

But she graduated from Harvard with a degree in History - his opinions won't be able to outweigh her facts.

stops that big asshole with some facts, and doesn't just sit there like a bump on a pickle 🥒 and allows that muthafukking treasonous, lying, rapist, racist tRaitor to sit there and lie, lie and tell more lies. Molly Ivans Welker AIN'T. I don't believe in nor watch ANY of these corporate right-winged political shows any longer. I watch my favorites on MSNBC like Lawrence, Rach, Nicole, sometimes Joy, Katie Phang, Manu from CNN et al on YouTube: MeidasTouch, Texas Paul others on MeidasTouch, Dollamore Daily, Randi, Malcolm and Stephanie Miller on FSTV et al.

Todd WAS great. All through the 2015-16 elections MSNBC's audiences soaked in his "the people deserve better than low-lifes like Hillary and tRump."

One guess WHICH party that was intended to lower turnout for. After all,

The Democratic Party doesn't just interfere with the accumulation of wealth, we pose a grave, existential threat to the power and the rights of those who have it.

Now, going into 2024, his, and the show's, ratings have dropped. So he's out, she's in, and the agenda continues.

"WTF," all right.
