“Can you imagine the morning show hosts at Fox News posing for a photo like this, let alone acquiesing to the network PR mavens distributing it to the World? I can just hear the howls of feminist outrage, and they would have a point.

But this degrading photo of the MSNBC morning team is met with a deafening conspiracy of silence, even from erstwhile stablemate Rachel Maddow.

Earth to Rachel: You’re Next!”

The master fisherman, Trump, is catching and gutting the trash fish of the MMS and leaving them flopping aroud the bank to rot and feed the other fish left in the pond/ocean!

Quiet now!

Don't let the rabid mediots know what Trump has done this week and will do over the long holiday weekend!

He’s playing the media like a mastro plays a Stradivari violinaccordion. He’s been quietly implementing his first and most controversial policy, the visa ban from the six countries, and the media only talks about a tweet. By the time they’ve noticed it’ll be in place and working.

Kelly probably had a few pictures like that, of her on the desks of some top Fox guys!

Face it, Trump just did an major favor for Mika and Joe. Now, MSNBC can’t fire them, no matter how bad their ratings are. And their ratings are sure to go up. And Trump never mentioned Scarborough’s murder. Trump has never aided conservative media this way.

Meagan Kelly posed for a similar whorish photo. Despite their “feminist” credentials, they clearly are sending the message to girls and young women that the way to succeed is to sleep your way to the top. Hypocrites, the lot of them.

Before and since Trumps presidency all we heard from the media has been condemnation and gut wrenching journalists going after this President 24/7....every standard of journalism was thrown out the door in order to bring him down......Well now they’re in a frenzied meltdown they completely brought on themselves....and their fake news comes down right from the top.. Did they not think someone would be exposing them for what they are....

Notice, Trump didn’t say anything they didn’t want him to - he didn’t mention how Scarborough’s intern murder was covered up.

Holy cow, I had never heard of this until I saw your mention of it. I looked it up and I agree, this stinks. I'm a pathologist and I know that 28 year olds do die of natural causes including heart attacks but the circumstances around this death stink to high heaven.

Say what you will about Zbigniew Brzezinski, he was a serious man. I didn’t often agree with his ideas; but I usually perceived that he was working out of a sincere set of beliefs, not partisan hackery. So soon after his passing, his daughter’s cheap antics are ruining his name for decades to come. Plus, she has two brothers who are serious men and have served the U.S. government, one of whom is a Republican.

Back in the day when etiquette tried to keep people civilized, there was an official 6-month period of mourning for immediate family members.

This brouhaha is unseemly, as has been mikajoe’s long string of utterly tasteless verbal jabs against Trump. Finally, he is swatting the gnats with his giant little hand.

Yesterday, an acquaintance was going on and on about “Trump’s Tweets”, when suddenly a torrent of words came out of my lips...that I had not intended at all, but to which she eventually agreed.

This is the essence of it:

For 8 solid years, the media, academia and Hollywood did the same thing to George Bush. They lambasted him, lied about him, forged false documents about him, made movies about assassinating him, did nasty comedy routines about him, falsely accused him, claimed he cheated the electoral process, called him a chimp, called him a Hitler, and did their best to undermine his presidency at the same time our nation was under attack and then at war.

I was constantly finding myself in the position of defending him, and being ridiculed for it.

Before President Bush disappointed me with his stance on the Border, and the unjust treatment of Agents Campion and Ramos (which was the last straw for me!), I lost friends, received hate mail, was cyber-bullied and threatened because I was DEFENDING the president when he NEVER seemed to defend himself! It became extremely frustrating, and after a while I started to feel a profound sense of betrayal.

On the other hand, President Trump goes right into the fray and says what we’ve been saying about the Left for as long as I can remember. I feel that “He Has My Back”, and as Lincoln said about Gen. Grant:

“I can use this man. He FIGHTS!”

Just my humble opinion, but the more the left attacks President Trump, and the more he fights back, the more I love him!

I really wish these supposedly “conservative” pearl clutchers would just shut the hell up. Trump has been operating in this fashion since long before he even thought of running for President. Apparently, it works for him.

To give the devil her due, those are some nice legs. Slutty display, but slut is better than sociopath like her daddy.
