crazy viewers with short attention spans. I shut it off this morning. They don't care that 1 in 4 Americans need unemployment to feed their families. What is going on in Minnesota feeds the masses insatiable appetite for violence and hate and reinforces their biases.

The orange turd has convinced 40 percent of America that the only thing that shows a strong economy is the stock market. Something that 90 percent of American's don't even have any money invested in. What really shows how bad the economy is, are unemployment and inflation. At a time with 1 in 4 Americans are out of work prices at the grocery stores are skyrocketing. Our weekly food bill has gone up about 30 percent.

I have had it withe the media.
