I'm starting to watch cable news again.

Couldn't stand it and stopped watching after the election. However, now that everything is going south on our new admin., it's kind of fun. I know, I know, I appreciate that it's horrible for our country and I'm not saying it's right for me to enjoy this....but I do. Soooo, I'm a terrible person.

I'm not ready to go back to watching yet, but I think we have to know what's going on. You have a stronger stomach than I do, Laffy Kat.

Though I did watch last the 30 minutes of Joy Reid to see Carl Reiner, Stephanie Miller and Frangela.

My hubby still turns it on and I leave the room. One night he insisted I watch with him. 5 minutes in he admitted he couldn't take it anymore because they were fawning over chump on MSNBC.

She's horrible. Plus, I can't help but look at her and think, "Scientologist". Scientologists have ZERO credibility in my book.

Did you see the Leah Remini show on A&E. it was so enlightening and scary. They are brainwashed like chump supporters. Even if the truth is right there they will not believe it.
