dugitman: Praise Cheesus: Hello and welcome to the live Rachel Maddow Show discussion.  This is an effort to keep the discussion of Ms. Maddow and her staff's ongoing connect the dots building of the big picture on Team Trump and the Russan Connection from bleeding all over the Politics tab.

Taking this out of your thread so as not to draw attention. We're not sure yet this is a daily thread for sure. There are also concerns that a daily Maddow thread makes Fark.com appear to be advocating a political viewpoint which we try to adamantly avoid. Just to let you know, we're giving it a go and seeing how it pans out.

Also be aware that intro is going to draw conservative posters' attention to you and will lead to criticism and needling. We're all used to it back here, but if you feel like you need some mod oversight, please contact us instead of responding to posts you feel are out of line. Honestly, we are going to moderate these threads as we would any other poltab thread, so understand that we aren't going to mod righties out of there because it's a left-leaning feed appealing to lefty farkers. We mod posts, not users. Let me know if this makes sense... or doesn't. We want you to know what you're getting into here and have the thread go as smoothly as possible.
