(935 posts)I tune in to Levin on the radio, if only to hear him scream "Tyranny". It cracks me up. He sounds like a little demented troll. That shrill voice. He is positively spun out of late. I love it.

They're troopers!
they do feel worn, this is a 24 hr thing they see we could lose everything. I hope they take care of themselves.

Nobody in this thread said anything hateful about Ari Melber. He definitely was not his usual self. Probably very tired, going from early morning to late night most of the week. Commenting on his performance and concern for his well being is just a conversation. Of course it is possible he had a drink or a dose that was more potent when overtired.

(959 posts)jfc, what was that about? No, this op and another OP posted displeasure with AM, and it got a lot of replies in the positive. I was just remarking about the sudden uptick in Ari Melber posts and you happened to add the whole "Of course it is possible he had a drink or a dose that was more potent when overtired."
So, what the hell is that about? So he drinks? Ooooook. He had a drink before aire time? he's a drunk? Please, explain fully what you mean.

(289 posts)What exactly does jfc stand for? Please explain fully what you mean by that. I just posted some thoughts. Suggesting someone could have one drink does NOT mean someone is a drunk. What does Ooooooookay mean? I guess you told me!

(1,900 posts)Sometimes on this site you get someone like this with a burr up their ass that misreads everything you've written or twists it to express their own hate and self loathing. I think this poster might be one of those. Don't sweat it HD.

(1,900 posts)I like Ari Melber because he's always really on top of his game. He wasn't last night, and you seem to need a nap.

(7,429 posts)no big deal. We're fuckin' human. All of us. The guy puts on a good show no matter the time he's on. These media folks at MSNBC do exhaustive work. AFAIK, they're an earnest group and they're professional. I'll go with that.

Those just add to the stress of cold weather and being exposed to Trumpmania........
Let's not forget they're human just like us, with families and friends to socialize with, and cars to fix and bills to pay.....and shopping!
