It is no longer something I look forward to

Call it "Drumpf fatigue" I guess.

I used to look forward to watching Rachel every night but no longer.

Don't get me wrong. I totally appreciate her and she is so good but after these last two years I am no longer wanting the details anymore and just want him gone.
I think it is my fault for getting up false hopes up. With every revelation I did get excited some legal issue was going to take him down.

Now I just post here and there, read articles, and listen mainly to Randi.
She does her homework as well.

Oh I still watch Rachel now and then but not every night. She still gets my hopes up sometimes but now I just mainly vent instead.

Thanks for letting me "vent".

... so I can turn on Rachel at 9 p.m. and I'm hearing it all for the first time. It has really made my days much more pleasant and enjoyable. Mostly listen to music, occasionally watch a movie. No news during the day, it's made a difference for me.

I don’t usually watch Rachel (7pm is dinner time at my house) but I listen to her podcast the morning after while getting ready for work. More often than not these days, I listen to her intro and just sigh because I can’t do it...not most mornings. I need some hope to get my butt ready and out the door. I’m here daily with you all...I’m at every protest in my city and I too just want his bloated orange evil ass gone. Malaise says justice is coming and soon...Lordy I hope so.

He put that real time picture of the BP exploded oil well pumping millions(?) of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

I couldn’t take it.

I understand the feeling.

She does so much to deliver the goods. I'm thrilled that she's now airing on Free Speech TV. Time to donate and...

Buy a stinkin' podcast!

I will watch Ari if something legal is going on. Otherwise, no.

And I'm not totally happy with the two shows I do watch. Seems like every day lately is just a review of Trump's bad behavior of the day and whether or not he was presidential.

I want deeper reporting.
