On MSNBC?

Do you ever watch Fox and hear what people say about those they oppose?

I don't like Reid for a lot of reasons, this is one such example.
Gratuitously offensive.

No cable for me...all I have are the big three.

Where was Joy on? NBC?
MSNBC skews harder left, but there's some talent utilization across channels, especially when it's all hands on board as it is in in election coverage etc.
CNBC, on the other hand, skews to the right of main channel. But not hard right.

REMINDER—Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin election officials were not allowed to begin processing absentee ballots until on or just before Election Day, after Republican-led state legislatures opposed changing laws to allow earlier preparations like other states.

I don’t like Joy Reid. She would be ok if she had her own webcast but for a network, she is too loose for my liking.

MI is currently at 91% counted, and Biden with a 10K lead with about 5 million votes counted. What is outstanding is likely to continue to favor Biden, so this one should be a win for him.

He also has a narrow lead in WI. 99% counted in the presidential race, and the lead is at a bit over 20K. Not likely to change at all.

Leads in AZ, NV as well...

Those wins if they stand up I think seal it for Joe.

Clip doesn't include any reaction, if any, from others. Here's the thing, most liberals, and moderates too, think it's not an unfair characterization of Thomas, both because of his highly predictable pattern on the Court, his lack of intellectual rigor, passive participation in questioning, and perhaps most importantly his self-defense tactics in the Senate hearing re Anita Hill's allegations. "High tech lynching". His appointment to the Court was intentionally conscious of his race...not that such is unreasonable, it's that it opens up the question of race from the outset and what added perspective was achieved because of race. In his case, definitely not representative of most black citizens. And, given that his nomination was specifically to replace Thurgood Marshall, folks continue to feel a degree of disgust that he remains such a 'representative'.

But it's an ugly, incendiary way to express this disgust.

I do find the 'shocked' reactions of some, calling this a 'racist' or 'bigoted' statement to be a bit silly. They don't understand those words.

The silence was deafening from the other two.

Could you imagine if a conservative said something like that?!



It just flowed from her mouth. Very easily. And very telling.

what votes are being waited on in nevada and arizona?

Big blue cites. Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Huh? Tucker Carlson says stuff like that multiple times a week.

Again, silly. The clip cuts off...did they say something after a couple of heart beats?

Maybe not, but you can't tell from the clip.

And no, what conservative would ever call a black conservative and Uncle Tom or 'house. n--"?
Not because a conservative can't be a racist a-hole, but because, as such, they would not see anything negative about a black conservative being conservative.

She definitely feels exactly as how she expressed.
And please spare us handwringing when such a large number of Americans accept, even cheer, the insults out of Trump's mouth, or from some of the most incendiary Fox hosts.

Biden campaign thinking:

- They believe they’ve won Wisc, expect it to be called this morning
- Mich vote by mail lead is insurmountable and will be called midday
- Philly vote by mail will come in tonight or tomorrow
- GA result midday or early afternoon
- NV called tomorrow

Biden campaign official this morning, believing results they’ll be declared the winner of Wisconsin and Michigan today — and results coming in PA, GA, NV soon — has some confidence: "This is moving to a conclusion -- and moving to a conclusion in our favor.”

Charlie Cook called it at 290, giving Trump every toss up. GA is going to be close and may favor Biden at this point, which would put him over 300 if he wins it.

One of the greatest characters. Stole every scene.

100%. Johnny Lip's old man, quiet wisdom was REALLY fun to watch.
I watched Apollonia and Sonny get taken down, then headed to bed...

Did you know the original concept for Godfather III was scrapped over something like $50,000. Duvall wanted to be paid like Pacino. The movie was supposed to be a rivalry between Michael and Tom leading families. I forgot Hagen was having an affair with Sonny’s widow. It rubbed Michael the wrong way.

GF3 was a horrible movie. It was a stain on GF 1 and 2

In the hypersensitive PC world we live in you just can't go there. Thomas is an embarrassment to the court IMO but using that particular vernacular gets any MM talking head fired. That probably only is relevant to non FLP talking heads. Joy gets a pass, as expected.
