They reiterate and normalize the fact he IS leaving office. There’s no successful path to stay there in sight. There is an “after”. I don’t care to personally watch but I do think it’s a message worth pounding into heads.

Trumpers.

As if you are shoving it in their faces.

I agree CNN is trying to soften the reality. Hopefully to lower the temperature on this whole disaster.

Observing.

My SIL with whom I am NOT close, commented on my post on my Facebook page about being embarrassed to be an American under Trump. And that I was pleased with Cuomo getting the special recognition for his COVID-19 briefings.
SIL pooped all over my post, embarrassed me in front of my few friends and showed what a full on MAGAT she is.

I deleted her comment and “unfriended” her. And she calls herself a Christian. No loss, we rarely spoke. I’m in NY and she and my brother moved to Alabama decades ago.

3. Another thing I hear from the media now is how Democrats are split.

They are setting up a battle between progressives and moderates. So Biden isn't even in office and
that has started. That's what we are in store for the next four years what Trump says and how Democrats are
in disarray.

"Just stop. Really. We are all focused on the same destination. But because the republicans have blocked the interstate, we are discussing which Farm To Market road is best. But we WILL get there."

Sadly it’s happening now and not years ago. Trumpers think there’s no difference between Fox and msnbc. Lol.

Is more ‘down the middle’.

I get annoyed at their reporting and their pundits much more often than when watching MSNBC. The only MSNBC political/news programming I don’t like is Morning Joe with Mika. They are useless and a terrible way to start the day for anyone with a progressive inquisitive brain.

The article was referencing CNN so I am not surprised if FOX viewers might be migrating over. As I said, CNN is more ‘down the middle”.

Drinking toilet wine and being called "Pops" by his new friends, as he shares lusty tales of banging Miss Universe contestants back in the day.
