still I am exposed to the cable bs whenever I go to the doctor, the gym or mall. The manager at the gym is a right winger so all the TVs are set on Faux when it opens you have to ask to have them changed but usually get vetoed by Fauxbots. The gym is owned by the Catholic hospital so you get a lot of right wingers there. One good thing they have an area that has TVs on the machines themselves and you can change the channels. One of the public TVs at the mall was always tuned to CNN but they got so many requests for Faux that has changed.

mans man. He thinks he is tough, bad ass. An honest days work at minimum wage would kill him. He has been coddled and sheltered his entire life. He has SS protecting his sissy ass right now. He said his first wife thinks the world of him. That's because you had to bribe her Donald. She could ruin you with the truth right now. Right wing loser.

Democrats hate him, center-right Republicans hate him only slightly less, and the psychopaths worship him.

Consequently, the media is going to squeeze the subject for everything.

They don't give a flying fuggg about the USA.
