I hurried this one along in order to get it finished before Meet the Press airs this morning, so apologies if it's rough around the edges

definitely not watching MTP but looking at clips on twitter, it seems Ronna's going the redemption route. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1771905579381895226

“ what do you think happens to a free press once a fascist regime takes over? …pick up a goddamned history book. please.”

But my yacht is racing this weekend and my wife’s dressage horses are competing and I really can’t be nitpicking who’s on the air as long as they’re bringing in money.

When I heard this, I loudly exclaimed" What in the actual fuck??!?" This makes Rachel, Nicole and all the rest of MSNBC look ridiculous! It's all about the dead Presidents.🤑🤑 They fuck Mehdi Hasan over and hire this piece of shit??!?

I hope to hell that MSNBC does not have Ronna Romney as their “ anal cyst”. It saddens and also angers me as The Rachel Maddow Show and Lawrence O’Donnell are one of the very few msm shows that I do listen to.smfh. WTF

Just watched that slippery eel on MTP. Every time one of these Republicans say “Biden is the president But... there were “issues” or “legitimate concerns” with the election I want to throw up. She is MAGA through and through and should not be on NBC or any legitimate news channel.

Just get Rachel Maddow’s latest book Prequel where she gives a historical background of fascism attempts going back to the 20’s. She gave us an outline of the book first with her weekly podcast Ultra. She doesn’t miss a thing in explaining to us what we’re facing. But how many people read these days?

Money talks and bullshit walks. NBC is surely receiving all kinds of backlash over this. Journalism be damned. Let's stir up shit and get more eyeballs and fatten up the bottom line. It's gross.

Best line today: Political anal cysting. 😂 This comes so naturally for you Jeff...it's a gift! ✌️💙

And let’s not forget, Kristin Welker is also the MTP host who allowed Elise Stefanik to call the Jan.6th convicted prisoners “hostages” just like her dear leader, and never called her out on it. I thought Kristen would be so much better than Chuck Todd. I was wrong and therefore can’t watch that nonsense. I wonder how long McDaniel will last at NBC??

I developed a deep and abiding loathing for Welker when she was yammering about Hillary's godam emails every godam day! Had no expectations for her tenure on MTP except that she would continue on as a corporate shill. From my own observations and my husband's experience working for networks, NBC is a club. You stick around and play the game, they promote you. Or spew the corporate line, they hire you. Lest we forget, Trump would not be Trump if not for The Apprentice, an NBC show. The network is heavily invested in him and the GOP generally, hence Todd, Welker, McDaniel, etc.

Fascism is a choice and we’re going full fucking throttle! 🤬

Corporate news plays both sides because, well you know, if the fascists take over, still gotta make a buck. If it comes to that, you can bet that NBC will be competing for the Fearless Leader’s affection in January 2025.

Past being surprised by the medias desperate attempt to normalize the orange future felon.

Desperate for all that campaign advertising cash, and trickle down illusions.

All of this makes me want to 🤮. So fucking tired of all of these fuckers trying to take over our country, our lives, our choices. This one will be great fodder for my run today…running angry helps the miles fly by. Thanks Jeff…I think. 🧐

I just sent nbc a complaint about their decision to become part of drumpf’s campaign. Here is what I said and thank youJeff, for the hep with my words!

What are you thinking? Is it your idea of a good hire to have a criminal be a political analyst? She is an avowed election denier. She was part of that phone call on Nov 17, 2020 where d trump pleaded with members of Michigan’s Wayne County Board of Canvassers not to certify the election. Ronna chimed in with “if you can go home tonight, do not sign it... we will get you attorneys.” Is this the kind of news you want to report to the country? I am done with you. I am deleting my app and I will tell everyone I know what you have done. I guess this makes you a part of the trump campaign. Welcome to hell!
