Morning Joe Really is Awful

Of all the mornings, Morning Joe had the audacity to have Piers Morgan on, who is trying to get people to buy his shitty book, to slam the Democratic Party as "woke" and to stir up hate against trans people and attack DEI.

The entire interview was vile and intellectually disingenuous and wholly removed from the events of last night and what last night actually means for the state of our country and the mid-term elections.

I have no idea why he has guests as his questions wrapped in comments meander on and on and on.

thought last night wouldn't be the blowout it was and we might need to hear yet more
anti-woke idiocy. Morgan may be well behind the curve, among other things. Been awhile since woke was the big topic. Not now. We got ICE raids, deportations, and murder on the high seas to deal with for starters.

On the other hand Anand Giridharadas was worth hearing.

... depend on the willful ignorance of the room-temperature IQs that constitute most of the Republican "base". None of these assholes even know the definition of "woke", so, for the umpteenth time, here it is, according to Merriam-Webster:

[To be] aware of, and actively attentive to, important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

Anyone who takes issue with being a responsible and decent human being, which is all that being "woke" calls on people to do, is someone I don't even want to shake hands with before I've had the shots. Actually, probably not even then.

I killed my tv forty years ago. It's nothing but crap. tThe more you watch the less you know. Nearly all the talking heads are Narciscist and only listen to themselves. Anybody who puts Pus Morgan on the air is beyond the pale. We need to get people to realize they are only feeding the beast at a nickel per view for every commercial.

If Blow isn't present I might watch some of it as most of the other "hosts" aren't too bad. But he's just and old dried up shell of a fascist.

Billionaire authoress picking on now-helpless members of British society. She's cheap and tawdry as they come. Just like Pierce Organ.
