And we're supposed to reason with people who support this insanity?

a real screenshot from OAN. OAN is funded through cable subscriber fees -- that is, people who never watch OAN (or in many cases are not even aware it exists) are funding content like this every day via their cable bill.

So we're off the hook for those excruciatingly worthless efforts. And at no time were overt Nazis ever among the more promising candidates for rebuilding bridges to.

There are things people determined to be good-trouble sorts can do in various situations, on the web for those honestly wondering if they should try to do something to help our nation, and maybe even a once-nice neighbor, someday come through this to the other side.

Five years now and I am enjoying the extra money and not watching crap tv.

I watch pbs news and cooking shows on Sat.

Get yourself some hdtv antenna…

I do have a smart tv hooked to the internet so I watch news on YouTube.
