are out of line, his behaviour is not funny and should be treated with the seriousness it deserves. At this point no one seems to know if the information in the documents he took from the white house were copied to Putin or any other dictator he admires. I keep reading that there were 30 boxes of documents he took to his house, and if only 15 were recovered, where are the other 15?

She and her two gests last night, Michael Steele, and the other lawyer (she is very good), I believe her name is Mia? were laughing at the fact that trump tried to flush papers in the toilet, that he ate some, that he took a bunch to mar-a-lago...sorry, but this is no laughing matter.

2. So you're saying because of this one bit of news, you can characterize all her shows that way?

It might have bothered you, but I gotta say, now that Rachel's gone, she the clearest, fastest thinker, with serious questions and followups, on the MSNBC lineup, better than Ari, at match for Ali, and earlier than my beloved Lawrence.

I love her humor; even this time was just a one-off; usually she's appropriately serious.

Because of his/her comment and your response I made it a point to watch this segment.

Also think it was very good segment.

4. Hi, erronis. I just can't let a sweeping claim go like that.

Here she is being whip smart serious about Thomas' conflict of interest, yet still cynically amused, cuz Elie does that to people.

I've really enjoyed Joy Reid in the past but admit I haven't followed closely recently.

This will change!

Useful political tools. People don't vote for candidates they laugh at.
