I think Mika Brzezinski must be schizophrenic.

[RBInMaine]

And I don't mean to make light of mental illness, so I am being a bit metaphorical there obviously.

But Mika one day will slay Trump. She says she's a Democrat. She has called him a fraud. She has slammed him on how he treats women. The next day she will shill for him. For her to equate Trump taking a loss of almost a billion dollars in one year and using tax laws in slick ways to avoid paying any income taxes for 18 years with Hillary taking speaking fees and paying taxes on that income is SICK and DISGUSTING.

Mika doesn't get it. Yes, what Trump did may be allowed by law but that isn't the point. The point is that he took a massive loss in a boom year destroying his narrative that he's some great businessman. But much worse, this scumbag that is Trump BRAGS about not paying taxes while the rest of us do and while he was still able to live high on the hog even though he nearly ran his business into the ground in boom times and then used tricks in the tax code which allowed him to declare the loss and not have to pay any federal taxes while the rest of us do.

That, Mika, is why this smells so bad to us. Now get off YOUR "high horse" and get your head out of your ASS and stop being schizoid and stop propping up Trump who is completely and obviously UNQUALIFIED for the job.

1. Not schizophrenic. Just bitter and stuck in a dead-end career (and relationship).

HRC is a candidate for the highest office in America. Mika hosts a low-rated cable morning show with the chubby white dude she bones.

9. My guess is that she sold her soul for fame and fortune via

that show. Good posture, weak character and intellectual honesty. Apparently a lot of NY and DC insiders start their days by checking to see what's they're saying.

11. I'm also sick of her "know your value" shtick to women, while she sits there and looks pretty,

like she's window dressing, while constantly checking her phone. I like her Dad, but I could care less about her constantly promoting Joe's second career as the guitar playing leader of the band, and her mom's "art". She's just another entitled white woman, who chose a career in the television/news field and seemed surprised when one day she found out they like their women young and hot, and they let her go. She hooked up with Joe S. first on a radio show and the rest is history. Then one day she wakes up to find that Joe makes millions more than she does, and her feelings were hurt. Then she asked for a raise, and the boss said "NO", so Joe offered her part of his fat salary to stay and she did. This is what entitles him to show up late several days a week, looking like he just rolled out of bed. The way they have conducted themselves over the past primary season and general election sickens me. The fact that they secretly kissed and made up with Trump but didn't mention it, while their fallout with him was very public is equally disgusting. They're just covering all their bases in case Trump wins, so that they will continue to get invited to the White House, so they can feel special.

[Hortensis]

12. I hadn't heard all this, but disgusting all right. They epitomize

not just the failure of the media to perform its needed role in society but its contribution to the destabilization and corruption of society. They could always move to elegantly maintained neighborhoods in another country if need be.

[politicaljunkie41910]

14. Several years ago she put together a day long series of seminars all across the nation called

"Know Your Value" and she heavily promoted these seminars on the show. The guests were all 'friends' of hers from the show. The only one whose name I recall off hand was Arianna Huffington, who I remember from way back before she owned the Huffington Post when she was just a nobody, married to a rich congressman and she was always trying to do something to promote herself. Mika spent a lot of the shows time promoting the seminars in the days, weeks leading up to each seminar. Then Joe started making appearances at the seminars. It seemed strange that there she was trying to teach other women to be secure in their own selves by "knowing their self-worth" while she was second fiddle in Joe's shadow in spite of her having previously had a booming career in the News field at CBS prior to being let go. Now on Morning Joe, she plays second fiddle to a man who half the time looks like he just rolled out of bed.

[Hortensis]

15. Interesting. Well, female support one step behind seems

pretty natural to her, and the show is Morning Joe. But she's lost the confidence and vigor she once had, and I really don't like watching what's taken its place. Whatever this is about, it sure doesn't say "know your value." Maybe "accept your place."

[redstatebluegirl]

2. It depends on whether Joe is there or not.

She is so weak, she goes with whatever he says.

[RBInMaine]

4. Well, not always. But I gotta say, yes, most of the time. She is schizo AND weak.

[steve2470]

3. I bet if she could speak freely and still keep her gig.....

she might just be a lot more consistent.

Nit to pick: Dissociative identity disorder is the more appropriate metaphor. It used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder. Think Sybil and Three Faces of Eve.

You make excellent points.

[RBInMaine]

5. Yup. I am aware of that disorder. Yes, probably a better metaphor.

[One of the 99]

6. MEka is not liberal.

She is a pro-life, pro-gun conservative. Always has been. She even admitted to voting for Pat Buchanan in '92 a few years back. The whole "I'm a liberal democrat" thing is just an act. Don't be fooled.

[Hortensis]

10. She voted for white male supremacist PAT BUCHANAN?

With his shallow pretenses of intellectualism? Well, if true that would explain a lot. And raise whole new questions. What sophisticated, educated woman would do that? Bizarre.

[boston bean]

7. Has hillary broken any law with speaking fees, emails, benghazi??

NO she has NOT. So why is trump off any hook becajse he did nothing illegal. These fucking double standards are rooted in sexism.

[ochem]

8. This is their shtick

Her and Joe. The others agree with whatever the two head clowns say. They do it on purpose. Its a game for them.

[jodymarie aimee]

13. Barnacle

is the one I can't figure out. He used to be class. I think they lock him in the cellar at nite, so in the morning, he is just glad to be fed.

[OnDoutside]

16. Who else would hire him ? He's only a Scumborough lapdog.
