Especially when the mean has sunk so low.

The M$M should aim higher.

Don't know why so many here are posting about this event on Sunday. Nazis gonna Nazi, there's no surprise there.

8. Cults die when their bullshit gets exposed. People need to be informed.

Cannot avoid the news this weekend. Qpac is busy plotting & we have to be informed.

Qpac would like us to not notice their nazi stage, Qruz's "fuck-you" to those suffering in TX, stupid ass conspiracy theories, etc. We have to stay aware of their plannings & plottings. All the exposure of the Scientology atrocities have significantly reduced it's ability to recruit new members.

10. If there really were UFOs and aliens here...

...I'm sure some smart ass wag would zip over to Mars and be standing there waving when the camera panned around. Then he/she/it could come back and watch us go broke trying to get there to chase them off their land. Interplanetary humor.

To your point, I want to hear what Il Duce has to say. he's been starved from Twitter for a month, and the hateful garbage that's stored up will spew like a firehose. The media knows that too,

Went to Brunch, got pedicures, then traveled to Amish country for a buffet lunch/dinner. The weather has been glorious!

No need to watch any news for me today!

14. It's unusual for me, but I haven't watched one minute of news this weekend. I am SO over DJT, but..

the news media certainly isn't. They just can't break up with him. Let's face it, DJT has been a media cash cow. It's easier to count the number of "journalists" who haven't written a book about him, than the ones who have. We've got too much work to do to solve the real world problems of the American people.

I finally had to give up Brian Williams because he is obsessed with all things Trump. I still watch Rachel because she seems every bit as disgusted with the sight and sound of Trump as I am. She talks about him in a roundabout way, but Brian and his staff seem intent on giving us 50 minutes of Trump, and maybe 5 minutes of Joe Biden. Personally, I don't give a shit about Trump and his ilk, so I find other ways to occupy my day.
