I quit watching cable news since day after election, it is really nice!

Fuck those assholes that put Drumpf in office...I'm all caught up on my favorite shows now-


Also, Fuck it, let the right wing destroy the country- We will just have to rebuild it. My #1 goal right now is to SAVE SAVE and SAVE money because you will need a security blanket. Probably be good to grab some rental properties in a few years as soon as they fuck the housing market. Yep, people are going to get hurt, but that is what it is going to take for these far right knuckledraggers to be put out of business for good.

Going to have to let them fuck everything up to shine the light on their shitty attitudes, policies and stances.


I say Let it Burn...

Totally. Not one single minute.

But if you do manage to buy houses during the next crash make sure you become a drumph style developer then claim any losses as business expenses. Start a charity too.

Get a good accountant / lawyer and tell the IRS to fuck off if it still exists.

I was saturating myself prior to election cable news, DU and numerous other politicial blogs. Moving away from cable news has taken off some of the sting of my severe disappointment. I got tired of every time I turned on tv and saw orange hitler. My husband wanted to turn it on the other night, he did and 5 minutes in, he said turn it off.

Yah, I'm feeling pretty fine thank you. Only come here to find out why I'm not missing ANY bullsh*t "news" shows. Thanks DU.

9. Us Too - MSNBC Ratings Up Though

Beating CNN....

I will not live the next four years obsessed like I was during the Bush years.

There's nothing I can do - we have a madman in power and he got there with help from so-called "progressives" and hate like I've never seen from the left.

They played with fire and we got a massive forest fire.

Trump will win reelection easily. The media is already doing and saying exactly what he wants them to.

But I also not going back to watching 2-3 hours of cable news. It's ghastly enough getting news that you' re not looking for. I can no longer trust cable news and narratives especially when they pumped up orange hitler 24/7 and when they mentioned Hillary it was all negative email stories.

The one bright note is the MSM news will be attacked and stifled and sued for their reporting the actions under the orange hitler administration.

I realized that MSNBC and CNN are not much better than FOX. Done with them. They've normalized insanity by giving insanity equal time.

I have not turned on cable news for one minute since the elections and I suspect millions of other Dems have also tuned out.

I might get some flack for this, but I hold Rachel Maddow most responsible among the media. She was awful and absolutely hammered Hillary for the last several weeks of the election. She looked visibly shaken when Trump won, I think out of guilt more than anything. The media wanted a horse race, they kept Trump in it and then the FBI gave him the win. It was sickening. If the media had done it's job rather than just try to create ratings this would have been a blowout.

I have not watched them since sometime before the election, and will not watch them any longer. They only need to fool enough of the people, enough of the time, and I'm counting myself out those numbers.
