    At the top-

    it was unclear what she was referring to.

    Further down-

    Former congressional candidate and music video director Robby Starbuck

    What?

    wrote: “Out of all the stuff she’s done, this is both the most sane thing she’s ever said AND the most likely to get her into real trouble with her bosses at MSNBC.”

    Did Robby hear context no one else heard?

      Former congressional candidate and music video director Robby Starbuck

      this sentence is fucking hilarious, especially since I’ve literally never heard of “Starbuck” actually being used as a last name so it really gives off those “Sans Undertale” vibes

        Starbuck was a character in Moby Dick, which is where the coffee chain (and presumably the BSG character) got its name from. I’ve never heard it in real life before, but I’m not exactly shocked Melville used a real last name.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Joy Reid was caught swearing by a live mic during a segment about President Joe Biden.

    During Monday’s edition of The ReidOut, the MSNBC host dropped the f-bomb, though it was unclear what she was referring to.

    The host introduced a discussion about the border crisis and then cut to a clip of the Democrat president’s South Carolina speech on Saturday.

    Some Republicans have said they will only provide further aid to Ukraine amid its war with Russia if a solution to the border crisis is found.

    Collin Rugg, co-founder of Trending Politics, said it was a “rare moment of real feelings displayed on MSNBC.”

    Former congressional candidate and music video director Robby Starbuck wrote: “Out of all the stuff she’s done, this is both the most sane thing she’s ever said AND the most likely to get her into real trouble with her bosses at MSNBC.”
