I had to turn off Jen Psaki tonight. She kept talking over gov. Sununu. Sounds like chicken squawks.

I hated this about Tweety. I hate hate hate it about fux nooz and right wing media. But when you're talking over a guest on your show, or a guest on your show is talking over you, it isn't an interview; it's chicken squawks fighting in the hen house, and it grates on the nerves, eardrums and the brain.

When I saw she was going to take over for Rachel, I just left the tv and came to the computer room.

I started off being a huge fan, when she was Biden's press secretary, and glad that she joined MSNBC. It's kind of gone down hill from there.

I thought I was the only person who felt this way. Jen was the best ever press secretary but a terrible show host. She is awkward and stiff and does not do herself any favors in this venue.

dropping the hammer as to why he would support trump in the general. She is so far ahead of it as she learns the game.

to avoid her direct questions. Women in journalism no longer allow this to be done to them. I thought she was stellar.

that is pre-planned. cut and dried, choreographed for Trump.

It would be like my watching reruns of sporting events that I know my team lost.

Fantastic campaign ad put out by Democrats I heard on Thom Hartmann today bashing Trump for overturning Roe. A doctor who had to go out of state to have an abortion, very compelling ad.

I imagine that people are waiting with bated breath for Kornacki tomorrow.
