So - here's a take from someone who watches no TV, listens to little to no radio - so, pretty

much checks out between the Sunday NY Times and peeks at DU. ME.

NOTHING - absolutely nothing - at this point surprises me. Nothing. Dump's mouth looks like an asshole, everything that escapes it is shit - so, he is just simply the King of Shitholes doing his thing.

My thoughts? Gish galloping, Gaslighting, tossing every shiny object possible into the air - the media chases it - and it is all chaos. Behind the scenes, the republicans continue to dismantle all that is good. If dump is King Shithole, ALL of the republicans are piles of turds stinking up the place - and that includes all of the dump voters.


I will get excited and enthused and pay attention when SOMETHING ACTUALLY HAPPENS that indicates there is a tangible way out of this year long and counting nightmare.

Call me jaded, burned out, cynical - but...I am getting on with life.

I refuse to be a part of - and a victim - of King Shithole's most shitty reality show.

The roommate's husband watches the 'news' 24/7. I can't even watch anything nice on our big screen television and I bought it for his birthday 8 years ago!
