Charcuterie?

Is that code for

We’re fucked!

billthepony.bsky.social•29 days ago

Ask senator oz!

drd60.bsky.social•29 days ago

I bet the majority of Americans don't know what a charcuterie board is.

jnineful.bsky.social•29 days ago

I left MSNBC on November 5th and haven’t looked back. They are complicit.

jac028.bsky.social•29 days ago

The average and dimmer Americans voted for this - let them suffer immensely so they learn what we warned them against. Fuck protecting the stupids, they need to learn their lesson.

michaeleichner.bsky.social•29 days ago

Just the kind of blue collar real America messaging we’ve been waiting for!

Although some salame and cheese does sound good right now.

totalamateur.bsky.social•28 days ago

Did they invite Dr. OZ out of the closet?

jbeller.bsky.social•28 days ago

They need to wipe their asses with dollar store toilet paper for a week. Those are the trump can make it better voters. Those are the eggs are to expensive voters.

sooriclover.bsky.social•28 days ago

We’ll be lucky to have eggs at all

ssvensken.bsky.social•28 days ago

Not my salami!!

genraine.bsky.social•28 days ago

I hadn’t even heard of a charcuterie board until Dr. Oz said it during his campaign. This is the second time I’ve seen it. Very relatable. 🤦‍♀️

serenity5.bsky.social•29 days ago

Better enjoy those Super Bowl snacks!

hukeylukie.bsky.social•29 days ago

As an "average American" I can confirm that the price of meats, cheeses, crackers, and even the boards they go on increasing bodes ill.

northboy.bsky.social•29 days ago

OMFG!!! It's a disconnect like this with the average person that hurt the Dems in the election.

jackiejkfl.bsky.social•29 days ago

Agree...

deboraho.bsky.social•29 days ago

Most Americans don’t even know what a charcuterie board is.

microsofty.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yes. That's his point.

mollybeans.bsky.social•29 days ago

Remimiscent of Oz and his crudite.

hippi750.bsky.social•29 days ago

tarnel.bsky.social•29 days ago

Could that have been a play on Dr Oz

hosentime.bsky.social•29 days ago

Way too generous. 🤣

brandalorian86.bsky.social•29 days ago

Who said this? Dr Oz again?!?

sototallydone.bsky.social•28 days ago

The DCCC messaging has been abysmal too.

gshep1954.bsky.social•29 days ago

You're right. Most Americans don't have a clue what a charcuterie board is.
Now, if they would say your snacks like cheese,meat, fruit, veggies & crackers are going up, average "Joe" would freak the hell out!

jokane2.bsky.social•29 days ago

It was Christine Romans on MSNBC. I was watching too.

kathigaughan.bsky.social•29 days ago

Maybe they should have said "your queso, guac and chips along with your Margaritas" that would have been a little more relatable

studiomala.bsky.social•29 days ago

What about our artichoke dip? 😁

mrf911.bsky.social•29 days ago

🤣🤣🤣

germainev.bsky.social•29 days ago

Lol

mdywmn.bsky.social•29 days ago

Or if anyone can correctly spell charcuterie! 😂

jayschool.bsky.social•29 days ago

I'm worried about the price of specialty amaros and bespoke tailoring, too!

okpapatom.bsky.social•29 days ago

Hell most of us can't even spell it right the first time we write it down

amandaishere.bsky.social•29 days ago

Just say “cheese and crackers”…

microsofty.bsky.social•29 days ago

That is not charcuterie.

amandaishere.bsky.social•27 days ago

Duh

microsofty.bsky.social•27 days ago

Duh what?

kamtaitt.bsky.social•29 days ago

It's a Dr. Oz dig

trashycappy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Respectfully, that’s an obvious shot at upper middle class white people (and “doctor” Oz) that supported trump. It was snide.

vtmama.bsky.social•29 days ago

Sweet mutha.

susanmathai.bsky.social•29 days ago

Did they learn nothing from dr. Oz?

alyssonfergison.bsky.social•29 days ago

Their viewers aren't "the average American". MSNBC's audience has been pretty much whittled down to the Maddow-worshipping suburban pussy hat crowd who takes a Stanley of sangria to brunch, so...

birdland-53.bsky.social•28 days ago

That was Dr. OZ wasnt it?

dmalinowski.bsky.social•29 days ago

I think first of all the crudité connoisseurs in Pennsylvania, naturally

robwash.bsky.social•29 days ago

The suburban white women who voted for Trump

microsofty.bsky.social•29 days ago

And the Hispanic men.

josephrobertsonny.bsky.social•29 days ago

Can we just pull the plug on legacy broadcast news outlets? It’s time.

ruthieruthn.bsky.social•28 days ago

Never mind msnbc

camillelaguire.bsky.social•29 days ago

I think that was aimed squarely at the class and race that thinks they’re safe.

catgurl.bsky.social•29 days ago

Slightly out of touch. 😡

artielazarus.bsky.social•29 days ago

Dr Oz is stocking up

thebluenami.bsky.social•29 days ago

just like when dr oz called his vegetable snack platter ‘crudite’ 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

tinaquintero.bsky.social•29 days ago

Stopped watching msnbc after Joe and Mika bent the knee. They are done, and the network is out of touch and compromised

laart20.bsky.social•29 days ago

Charcutewhat??

averagesam101.bsky.social•29 days ago

The media is a complete and utter disaster. They have failed in so many ways. I'm glad their ratings have been falling.

peggyluwho.bsky.social•27 days ago

Not knocking your sentiment, but just so you know, MSNBC's ratings are up 61%. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/msnbc-ratings-trump-bump-maddow-b2688457.html

averagesam101.bsky.social•27 days ago

Didn't Morning Joe take a huge hit though

peggyluwho.bsky.social•26 days ago

Not really. Down about 14%, according to this report. Not as much as Alex Wagner took.

https://www.centraloregondaily.com/lifestyles/entertainment/morning-joe-ratings-revealed-since-that-shocking-trump-meeting/article_09cbdb4d-df76-59bb-bed1-23d79e503d67.html?=/&subcategory=27%7COther

peggyluwho.bsky.social•26 days ago

But, the bounce back since inauguration may highlight that people tuned out post-election due to possibly other reasons. Like burnout or self-care. I watched Ted Lasso for days. Anecdotal for sure, but I heard a lot of people say they took a break from news for mental health.

klbranstetter.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yeah right 😆 🤣 😂 That shows you how uneducated and gullible Americans are.

margeebird9.bsky.social•29 days ago

They are so out of touch with reality. 🫤🙄

smokin-glory.bsky.social•29 days ago

I'm part of the population who actually has to Google "charcuterie" to keep up to speed with conversations. I like so many others are accustom to single course meals based on what we can afford. Amerca

zachrawls.bsky.social•28 days ago

Bravo, so bravely said!

vperriello.bsky.social•28 days ago

Lunchables will cost more, too

canadianbeaver.bsky.social•29 days ago

Correct my good man. 🧐

poppy66.bsky.social•28 days ago

😂😂😂

cameraguy516.bsky.social•28 days ago

lol

very-mary.bsky.social•29 days ago

FUCK MSNBC

schadenfreude666.bsky.social•29 days ago

should have said pork rinds instead....

rjg1023.bsky.social•28 days ago

How we tend to talk. That’s one of our problems.

fancyschmancy11.bsky.social•29 days ago

Cheese, crackers and fruit? They may have said it in a snobbish way. But literally the average American is going to be the one feeling the pinch the most

angeleyesnyc.bsky.social•29 days ago

Did someone really say that? 🤣

amidprivilege.bsky.social•29 days ago

Not to mention anyone whose religion forbids the consumption of pork!

aaury.bsky.social•28 days ago

omg

jaywilliams.pro•29 days ago

and they wonder why....

katvan62desertrose.bsky.social•29 days ago

sah1965.bsky.social•29 days ago

Actually, I think it will. We all like to feel fancy once in awhile.

theycallmelarrbear.bsky.social•29 days ago

Charcuterie is part of the middle-class American culture now. My 18 year old daughter is having a charcuterie party with her friends right now.

rockydemocracy.bsky.social•29 days ago

Dr. Oz would know. 😆

funkhowser.bsky.social•29 days ago

How does that not connect with the average American? I’m pretty sure most people have been to a party where there is a charcuterie board and wine. It’s not like they said the cost of running their private jet would double.

runealchemist.bsky.social•29 days ago

Charcuterie boards are a middle/upper middle class thing. Plus, they're a luxury item.

Saying "meat, cheese, and eggs going to be more expensive" is more straightforward and more important because those are necessities

funkhowser.bsky.social•29 days ago

I understand what you are saying but I don’t think reporters need to talk to people like they are five. People know what goes on a charcuterie board and they can extrapolate. Meat, cheese, grapes, nuts, chocolate etc. Damn, now I’m hungry. 😀

runealchemist.bsky.social•29 days ago

I know, I'm not saying they need to say it dumbly. But for reference, I've never been to somewhere with a charcuterie board. I know what's on one because I'm online, but it really isn't a common thing. For working class people, that's fancy stuff. So Ken's point about it being out of touch stands

vertigo666.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yeah I don't get the criticism here. Charcuterie boards are popular in suburbia.

sirlaffslot.bsky.social•28 days ago

You clearly don’t know many Trump Followers

failurecommunicate.bsky.social•29 days ago

🤦‍♂️

ladylorax.bsky.social•29 days ago

I don't know about those fancy boards, but the spread that I regularly serve myself and my 5 yo involves whatever brand of cheese was on sale, some crackers, and a variety of whatever fresh fruits and veggies we have, which were also ideally on sale. And yes, I believe those prices are going up. 🙄

oldapothecary.bsky.social•28 days ago

I still can't pronounce it!

floridavoter.bsky.social•29 days ago

Ok definitely not but I feel that 😢

iamjacksresistance.bsky.social•29 days ago

Won't someone think of the caviar and capers!

khoasoi.bsky.social•28 days ago

That’s why I stopped watching msnbc. Never going back. #complicit

shards73.bsky.social•29 days ago

And I muttered out loud, "I'm poor, I don't have one."

I don't know anymore who's more out of touch, them or me. 😮‍💨

mt-chkn.bsky.social•28 days ago

My god.

maximumeffort433.bsky.social•29 days ago

The message they meant was: The price of meat, cheese, veggies, and everything else is going to go up.

Chuck Schumer called out the price of beer, tomatoes, and pizza yesterday and BlueSky took him to task for it.

We're kind of damned either way.

runealchemist.bsky.social•29 days ago

Okay, then they need to say that in those exact words, not some out of touch remark. Not going into serious details is where they are losing people.

Schumer's post about tomatoes should've been a serious one about how all groceries will increase.

The way they send the message matters

yardyspice.bsky.social•29 days ago

White people don’t actually want to DO anything. They only want to criticize.

maximumeffort433.bsky.social•29 days ago

Exhibit A: https://bsky.app/profile/bvm.bsky.social/post/3lh5nojfeh224

mooneys.bsky.social•29 days ago

Havent watched since election day

allegrarich.bsky.social•29 days ago

Nothing says working class champion like charcuterie… maybe also a little caviar for good measure?

ben-murphy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Super Bowl conversations this weekend. How much was the Guacamole 🥑? I heard there might be furloughs?

Or Trump backs off again and it will be another nothing burger.
