He is almost always rude to her.
And, she likes to see herself as a champion for strong women- I feel embarrassed for her nearly every time I watch. He makes such an ass out of himself!

I think it's pointless inviting anyone on his show though when all he does is grandstand over everyone

All holier then thou acting because he finally sees the light about Trump.

He is such a narcissist, he takes up all the oxygen in the room,
it is always about him.

He actually talks over male guests too, but he's far more obnoxious with the women.

He thinks the only reason anyone watches the show is to hear his - and only his - opinion.

Why would anyone agree to be a guest on his show?

is very annoying.

His bloviating has got to go like the 30 min sermons in church

But I do like the crew he bring on as opposed to watching what?

Although I certainly understand being offended at whatever I happen to get a hair over, no one should imagine she couldn't stop this any time she chose. Maybe she will -- a long time ago she was trying to teach etiquette and little lessons on right and wrong to their viewers but that passed.

My problem with them is that I find his and her rantings tedious. And, yes, the constant interruptions, but I never like any show with obnoxious rudeness as part of its style, like between women on The View.

never could, he's such a misogynist asshole. She's just a BSer, she's totally failed as an 'empowered' woman. Sheesh.

Know your value.

Your value means not marrying a man who constantly interrupts you at your job.

And the cutesy pictures of the two of them make me hurl.

opinion that America is in the profoundly troubled spot it is today because so many people in the US have turned away from attending christian churches, jewish temples, Islamic mosques, etc, and (inferred) are turning away from worshiping god/gods.

Utter pro-magical thinking dross.

Screw that. I turn on the Stephanie Miller show. Morning Joke is...a joke.

Or how would you know what a boor he is?

He annoys me too, but he hired Mika, then they got married...so I'm going to guess she's ok with it.

He will go into one of his rants and will start a list of people that do or say something or had the same experience or whatever, and instead of putting commas in the rant, he will repeat, ad nauseum, the entire sentence over and over and over.

Like this:

“The people that need to read the first amendment include Donald Trumpy,
The people that need to read the first amendment include Lindsey Graham
The people that need to read the first amendment include Matt Gaetz” (etc etc)

Instead of just structuring the point with commas like

The people that need to read the first amendment include Trumpy, Graham, Gaetz….etc.etc.


He does it ALL THE FUCKING TIME and it is annoying as all fucking get out.

I listen to MSNBC on their app while I’m driving, so I often will listen for hours on end. If my driving hours include the 6 to 9 Am slot, I’m listening to Morning Joe. When I hear him start one of those stupid lists I hit the mute button!
