If Trump has them that intimidated then they need to retire. And MSNBC hosts piled on CNN earlier this year but their code of silence on this is gross. Have some courage and integrity. Is that too much to ask, or are you just too comfortable?

1. I'm sure Trump showed them pictures of their children similar to way Putrid runs. MAGA is dark, nothing good about them

[Sanity Claws]

2. They don't need direct access to Trump to be good news reporters

In fact they would be better if they didn't give such a blatant liar direct access to the public.

3. A friend sent them an email

You can bend over and kiss my ***, too!
I am finished with that show. Just kept it on while doing other things.

Kasie Hunt is on from 6 to 8 on CNN. LATER Jim Acosta is on, but I have been watching Ovation, Midsummer Murderts, Doc Martin and others,all British.

11. Turn off your TV

Your blood pressure will go down and you’ll be better informed.

[erronis]

15. Better. Get rid of that spewer of crapola. Go to the library and check out some good books!

[AverageOldGuy]

17. What is their email address?

[oldtime dfl_er]

24. If you mean to write to someone

write to MSNBC, that's who's keeping them on the air.

4. They are who they have always been.

Don’t waste your precious time on them.

[Magoo48]

8. Just don't tune in. If Dems, progressives, and liberals stopped tuning in,

they would not stay on the air. Tuning in is financial support.

5. Their anti trump stance was always personal, never political....

They got into a tit for tat with him which never ends well. So they went negative on him as a person.

But they never really disagreed with the politics, regardless of their guests positions. They kind of just played dumb.

Joe has always seen himself as a potus candidate. He just needs the right opening.

Burying the hatchet is politically smart. He wants to run and needs the party and its voters.

[calimary]

23. Well, if they've already shown how low they'll go, why wouldn't he?

[Trueblue1968]

6. Fire joe and mika

Fire the Trump ass kissers. #FireJoeAndMika

[SWBTATTReg]

7. Retiring won't save them. Perhaps migrating to another Country would help, e.g., Britain or similar. I personally

think that they should boldly face any tRUMP blowback w/ their already existing megaphone, their show. Wouldn't they gather more supporters that way? Joe's been in Congress too, would not he get help from there (Congress) too?

Oh well, they've already bowed out, kissed tRUMP's ass. Not much to say now. But to be honest w/ all here, I only have watched their show several times, didn't really go for their format etc.

[PatSeg]

10. Yep, retire already!

The world won't come to an end if they quit television. This is so pathetic.

[FakeNoose]

19. I hope their show gets cancelled...

Why are they on 4 hours every weekday? MSNBC could have "paid programming" for those precious hours, and people would be happier (and better informed) than watching Joe Scarborough.

[PatSeg]

29. I'm not going to hold my breath on that one

For some reason MSNBC loves Joe and Mika. Of course, maybe when their ratings keep tanking, MSNBC might start looking for something/someone else for that time slot.

12. Step Toward Dictatorship

I'll remind everyone that Viktor Orban has been visiting Trump in Florida in the recent past to tutor Trump on the steps to dictatorshi8p. Muzzling a free press was one of the first bullet points.

Now, the L.A. Times, Washington Post, followed by two daily commentators on MSNBC have taken a knee for Trump, before the game has even started.

I'm expecting that it could get much harder to know what is actually happening if this spreads.

25. And Milei

was just at Mar-a-Lardo.

[BarbD]

13. Currently reading Maria Ressa, "How to Stand Up to a Dictator"

Now, this is an example of a true journalist!

[Sane1]

14. Both were bleeding...

From their whatever’s and specifically both of their souls.
Kind of reminds me of Trumps publicity stunt dinner with Mitt Romney back in 2016.

[AverageOldGuy]

16. The gutless wonders . . .

. . . who are now coming out of the woodwork make me wonder why I spent a year in a place called Vietnam, humping a 50 pound rucksack, another 10 pounds of shit strapped on me, M16 in my hand, digging a little hole in which to take a shit, putting young men in body bags . . . WTF was it for?

My daughter has put her DC townhouse on the market and is headed for Great Britain. Maybe I should follow her.

[spanone]

18. Compromised.

Cowards.

[dlk]

20. Russia has the best kompromat

And we know who’s a Russian asset…

[Demobrat]

21. I have never seen that show.

I don’t watch TV during the day. But if they have publicly capitulated to Trump, where do they expect their audience to come from?

MAGAts won’t watch. Dems will tune out in disgust.

Trump will do whatever he would have done before the meeting, so they didn’t do themselves any favors there.

Who do they think their audience is?

[NBachers]

22. Never seen them once;: I'll probably die with never having seen them ever. My life seems to be working out OK

[Opbrg]

26. What little

journalistic integrity they had is gone. They should just retire because as far as I'm concerned they are worthless. Was never a big fan of the show anyway so it's no big loss to stop watching them.

[Raven123]

27. Mind you, Mika and Joe criticized those who wouldn't defy TFG during the campaign

You can’t tell me these two couldn’t get the best legal representation, should they experience harassment. Sorry, not buying it.

[TomSlick]

28. Maybe the can get a gig a FauxSpews.

It seems to be a stepping stone to a federal job.

30. Kick TY!
