Imagine a news day - or week - with no trump. none - none of his tweets,

his bravado, his lies.

Imagine all of the TV and media news reporting on all of the other important things going on in the country and the world

I know it is impossible in this age, but I do believe trump would abhor it. his fits would be legendary. his narcissism would not be fed.

It would be a thing of beauty.

I can hope, can't I?

If the morning news programs would not lead with 45's tweets.

They are playing the 45th's game. If they lead with a focus on what the administration has done - it would be so much better. I've been watching NJ 12 in the morning - because I'm over the 'here's what 45 tweeted' lead in on Morning Joe. There is so much more going on that one of 45's twitter fits. Seriously - this has gone on for years.

Years. Is anyone else tired of it? And the reality is 45 fans will continue to follow it. They will continue to follow and believe its lies. They will continue to prop up an insane vile piece of filth.

What if we just stopped. What if we focused on the policies of 45's Department heads and Congress and simple made 45 irrelevant by not reporting 45's twitter response to everything. Everything.

It's boring, it's tired, it's old.


None of this is directed at YOU NR- it's really directed at a media who would increase their credibility with me if they drove the story based upon What They Do. This is why I stick with Rachel and Joy. They take deep dives - they don't stay on the surface with 45 Numnuts.
