Anyone just hear Mike Barnicle on morning joe?

[spanone]

speaking of 'president' trump.

'he exhausts me'

'Im' tired of seeing him, I'm tired of hearing him, I'm tired of wondering if he knows what he's saying or what he's doing'


me too, mike.

[redstatebluegirl]

1. I saw that. He looks and says how I feel.

[hlthe2b]

2. hear hear, Mr. Barnicle...

[Scarsdale]

16. Add to that

his entire family, plus his spokes people. I LOATHE the entire clan, their enablers and the Faux news network. It feels like an eternity since they all showed up. Has it REALLY only been months?

[bdamomma]

3. I guess this is what Naomi Klein

means by "Shock Doctrine". A tactic to wear people psyche down, Putin must be celebrating.

[smirkymonkey]

38. feels like it is by design. I am so worn out by it all I have to tune it out most of the timeq

for the sake of my mental health, but then bad things happen when we aren't paying attention.

[Juliusseizure]

57. Classic narcissism

And I'm tired of saying that

[haveahart]

4. I feel the same way.

But please, while all this is going on, please keep your eyes and ears on the GOP Congress and Senate. They are deplorable and passing all the scummy legislation they want.

[pangaia]

32. YES .. My god now the entire country is jibber jabbering over nothing but Vegas.

How do we focus on the horror of Vegas, PR NRA, et al, and STILL keep our eyes focus like a laser on what the fascists, dominionists, Leninists, Nazis, racists, oligarchs are doing right in front of us behind our backs ??

[BigmanPigman]

47. That is why this is so exhausting. It is TOO MUCH and ALL THE TIME. Even Jeb Bush said he was

exhausted by him a few months ago.

[Juliusseizure]

58. That's why he was sent to military academy

The only child of 5 sent. All day focus on him. Just him.

[Achilleaze]

5. d'oh

slow on the uptake, eh Mikey?

[malaise]

6. The planet is exhausted

[cwydro]

7. I can't stand to hear or look at him.

Literally makes me feel sick.

[spooky3]

20. Ditto

[iluvtennis]

37. ++++ Agree

[Stinky The Clown]

8. The whole panel went off on him.

It was pretty amazing

[spanone]

11. he told puerto rico 'at a local level they need to give us more help'....i fucking hate him

[spooky3]

21. Off on Trump or off on Barnicle?

[samnsara]

9. thats trumps plan.....

[dhill926]

10. It's part of the plan...

and it seems to be working...

[NewJeffCT]

12. to make it easy

he does not know what he's doing or saying except when it comes to promoting Trump

[DownriverDem]

13. OMG!

Mike said exactly how I feel every day.

[Duppers]

14. Nope.

But whenever TRump appears on the tube's screen, I turn the channel. From the beginning I've refused to watch him.

Five minutes of one of his and Hillary's debate was the only exception.

[Scarsdale]

18. He is

REPULSIVE in every way. The gop outdid themselves this time, chose the very lowest scum on earth to represent their party.

[LittleGirl]

30. same here! I can't watch his speeches, his interviews, his butchering of the language

I change the channel. Seriously, I just CAN'T.

[murielm99]

34. I can't look at 45.

I have to avert my eyes.

[Chemisse]

49. Same with me. The revulsion I feel is just too unpleasant. n/t

[Butterflylady]

15. I feel the same dam way.

So sick of it all.

[Paladin]

19. Share those feelings with Joe & Mika, Mike. On a regular basis.

After all, they helped put trump where he is.

[world wide wally]

22. Apparently we all have to live this lie because...

.?

[DemoTex]

23. Saw it!

I said, "AMEN, Brother Barnicle!" to the TV.

[getting old in mke]

24. I had a Rosetta Stone live tutoring session last night

as I try to learn Italian.

The tutor asked (not in English, of course) "What makes you angry?" to which I reply "When the president speaks."

[PearliePoo2]

25. I concur, Mr. Barnicle. Here's the video clip.

Mike Barnicle's comments start at 4:01.

K&R

[spanone]

26. no mr. trump, america is dealing with a very sick individual.....you

thanks for the video !!!

[LittleGirl]

33. And what is that jacket covering up?

Why is he going into 90+ degree temperature with a jacket on?

Is it covering up his massive huge bullet proof vest? Seriously, I don't get it. Houston, Florida, the same damn jacket.

[FakeNoose]

41. I think you might be right

He probably is wearing a bullet-proof vest.

But what good would that do him, if somebody has a combat-ready assault rifle? I mean like the ones the guy in Las Vegas used? For that matter, JFK could have been wearing a vest in Dallas, but he was shot in the head.

The powerful assault rifle combined with expert marksmanship, and a vest doesn't mean much.

Just sayin'

[LittleGirl]

42. I don't usually fat shame

because I could lose 25 lbs myself but it could be because he's just fucking fat too.

Your ^above thoughts I totally agree with.

[yuiyoshida]

27. How long has he been in office?

Look how much he has already fucked up.

[Historic NY]

28. Can't stand to see him, or to try to listen to him.........

his word salad of circles.

[DK504]

29. So Mikey, why did you help get the fucker get elected?

I did not say one thing that rang of was any where in neighborhood of truth during the election. You say there with that grinning idiot and vacous simpleton Mika flinging free advertising at thr Traitor for over a year.

Now you idiots are allllllll about "speaking truth to power". Yeah well, go F yourselves. You are parly responsible responsible for this heinous POS ripping our country, alliances with long time allies and diplomatic efforts to shreds. So thanks ya'll.

[Stainless]

35. Thank You

For saying how I feel about "Morning Jerkoffs".

[lillypaddle]

31. Did anyone just hear Willie Geist on Morning Joe

ask one of the guests why some liberals & progressives are saying the victims deserved it because they listen to country music and are probably trump supporters???? Pissed me the fuck off, and I told him so in a tweet.

As far as I can tell, there is one CBS executive who said something like that, and she is an OUTLIER.

[FakeNoose]

44. I can't believe that Willie Geist really thinks that

I think the NBC execs might be trying to stir up some shit, and maybe they told him to say that. (?)

There are no liberals or progressives on DU who have said that the victims "deserved" to be shot, so where's this coming from? The Russian trouble-makers post their garbage on blogs that don't monitor the commenting section, but we've got it mostly under control here on DU. (knock wood)

[lillypaddle]

46. Saw this and copied Willie on it

Link to tweet

Maybe this is where he got his "info"

[spanone]

48. 👍🏼

[FakeNoose]

50. Hah! Looks like CBS fired their VP too

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=1879960

She posted the same shit on her Facebook page. (Maybe that's what Geist was referring to?)

[lillypaddle]

59. I think it could have been, for sure

but he made it sound like there were liberals - plural - who were saying that. It was just totally uncalled for and untrue. She was an outlier.

[Ineeda]

36. I'm 99.999% pacifist but...

The name Viktor Andriyovych Yushchenko, Ukrainian politician, comes to mind. Is a food taster on the WH staff? Not that I'm hinting at anything at all, you understand. Just wishing for Karma. Maybe bad KFC? Something? Please.

[LittleGirl]

43. snicker - same here, pacifist

but some days I want to hear or see him grabbing his chest and dropping like a rock. Never to be heard from again.
I really do despise that man.
edit: typo

[ProudProgressiveNow]

39. K&R nt

[moondust]

40. Same here.

Kinda like watching a small helium balloon tossed around on the wind: empty entertainment that only lasts a few seconds. Some people have better things to do.

[Heartstrings]

45. Me three......

[DFW]

51. I am SO tired of Republicans moaning, "oh, no what have we done?"

They were told over and over and over and OVER again during the campaign what an ignorant boor their candidate was.

NOW suddenly, they're all upset because they realize their president is an ignorant boor? Well, wow, what an unexpected surprise.

When you chop off your left foot, you do NOT have the right to wonder why it's difficult to walk.

[Honeycombe8]

54. Who is saying that? I haven't heard any Repubs saying that. nt

[7962]

56. Oh, I have. But they still say it privately. nt

[Honeycombe8]

52. I was just saying something similar to a relative. nt

[spanone]

53. 😎

[MrPurple]

55. Although he did rightfully get in trouble for plagiarizing some stories...

I read Mike Barnicle for years in the Boston Globe and he was a hell of a good columnist. Front page, sports section, Barnicle column was my habit for a long time.

[KG]

60. been tired of the shit bag since he showed up in the world in the 1980s
