I see the M$NBC team has been given the talking points regarding HRC

"The footage including the KKK if full dress is over the line." Chris ended his show condemning her for doing it, Alex W was on the previous hour testing, "did she go too far?"

My response - FUCK YOU!

FUCK YOU, YOU TRUMP ENABLING, MONEY GRUBBING, FUCKING ASSHOLES.

You propped up this racist prick for over a year and now are trying to have it both ways. Facilitating his racist BS and then condemning a person as going "too far." again...

FUCK YOU, YOU TRUMP ENABLING, MONEY GRUBBING, FUCKING ASSHOLES.

Anyone with an ounce of decency and a microphone would have called him out last year. Chris was gushing over Kellyanne last week to keep the ratings up. Now Alex W., that one shocked me, she was toeing the line, trying to condemn her through floating the trial balloons, but, without a doubt, was following orders.

Look, we all have ethical choices to make in life, and many of us have had financial incentives to do the wrong thing. And there are MANY, MANY, MANY, of us who forego the cash and take the ethical route. Team MSNBC seems to have an extreme shortage of ethical talent.

I would bet a $100 they have a saying that person X is going to get "Donohue'd" and I would bet another $100 that they are saying it about Joy Reid.

I stopped watching those clowns long ago. They are after ratings and don't care what they do to get them. The best way to tell them to fuck off is to turn the TV to another channel and encourage everyone you know who tries to watch that mess to do the same. As it is they only play to maybe 2% of the population on a good night. Ignore them like the other 98% of us

32. The 12 Steps of Trumpoholics Anonymous
Fri Aug 26, 2016, 12:45 AM
Aug 2016

Step 1: Admitted we were powerless over Donald Trump - that our lives had become unmanageable.
Step 2: Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of G_D as we understood G_D.
Step 4: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Step 5: Admitted to G_D, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Step 6: Were entirely ready to have G_D remove these defects of character.
Step 7: Humbly asked G_D to remove our shortcomings.
Step 8: Made a list of all persons that we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
Step 9: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Step 10: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with G_D as we understood G_D,
praying only for the knowledge of G_D's will for us and the power to carry that our.
Step 12: Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to Trumpoholics (or others),
and to practice these principles in all of our affairs.

I suppose that I can start. Hi, my name is Mrs Ted N. and I am a Trumpoholic. I knew that Donald Trump was toxic the first time I saw him on the "Lives of the Rich and Famous." Yet, I was hooked instantly. I followed the tabloids, the magazine articles, I even went to that garish monstrosity named Trump's Taj Mahal. It was the first casino I had ever entered. I felt so welcome by the staff that I felt special for the first time. I could not get enough of the "Donald". I bought the Trump ties for my Dad which pissed him off immensely - he did not want any crap made in a foreign country by people making 50 cents a day. He was a union man after all. I was going to give a bottle of Trump Vodka to my mother but she was a hopeless alcoholic and i didn't want to enable her. I gave some Trump steaks to my brother after I had a few myself. They weren't great - kind of tough and fatty - but because they had Donald Trump's name on them, they had to be good. There must have been something wrong with me for not liking tough and fatty meat. My family started to get very angry at me. My brother had fed the steaks to his dog and the dog became very ill and almost died. Then my parents and my brother started to nag me all the time and it pissed me off. They couldn't understand why I was so enamored with "the Donald." I told them to mind their business. This is my life and you are not the boss of me. After that, I was no longer invited to family functions i.e. FFFs ( F'ing Family Functions ) as I started calling them. I told myself "Who cares!!", I don't need them - I have Trump. My friends abandoned me too. They asked me to go out and have some fun. I couldn't because I NEEDED to read "The Art of the Deal" one more time. They told me to get professional help. I was indignant - they needed the help not me.

Finally, after losing thousands of dollars at Trump University, I hit bottom. I felt betrayed, resentful that he stole my money that I gotten by cashing in my retirement accounts early, and (this was the final straw) I didn't get to have my picture taken with him. They provided a cardboard cutout, but my heart was broken and my spirit was dead.

I was so angry and confused that I told my story to a guy sitting next to me on the subway. He was trying to ignore me, but I was unfazed and spilled my guts out to him. When he was leaving, he turned around and said that there was a place I could go where there were people who were in the same situation. He gave me the address. It was in the basement of a presbyterian church. In there I found people who had been conned and cheated out of their savings also. He had not paid them for the work they did on his many buildings; some were paid only $4 an hour for their work which included overtime. Amazingly though, they were laughing and joking with each other. How could this be? These people had lost everything. They told me that by working the program I could be "happy, joyous and free" like they were. I started to go to meetings and got a sponsor. And on April 15, 2015, I got my one year chip. I was happy, joyous and free. I have a slip every so often. But I have learned that this is fairly common. Donald's tweets are big triggers for us. Since he announced that he was a candidate for POTUS, I've been going to a meeting every day. Two meetings a day during the republican convention. Today I am sober and happy... free from the effects of the disease known as Donald J. Trump.


NOTE TO MR. TRUMP: This story has been completely fabricated by me. I am being facetious. Thus, I have not defamed you.

I come here for my news, don't listen to MSNBC after a few visits there which totally turned me off. My TV channels are so few now I barely watch them at all, so jaded, up for ratings they all are. I did watch a segment on ABC national news tonight which was surprisingly pro Hillary, showing how Trump's audience reacted to his grand pronouncement that she is a "bigot"
They actually aired the audience response which was not positive at all to his diatribe. He seems to be so far out there now that even his devoted followers are raising their eyebrows!!

they would all blame Hillary for being too weak, not stepping up enough, despite their over the top efforts to give her completely fair and equal treatment.


They are pissed that she won't have a daily press conference with them. It's all they've yammered on about today. Fortunately she knows to stay an arm's length from those flesh eating jackals, and get out her message in other venues.

It would serve them right if she instructed them all to wear beanies with little propellers on their heads to all presidential press conferences, if they expected her to call on them, to show them for the fools they are.

As much as I respect the reporters who are in war zones out on the front lines all over the world, these prima donnas really piss me off.

This morning on the "Toady Show", Schmuck Todd and Mrs. Greenspan were pushing the "Both sides do it" bullshit regarding this whole issue, rather than accurately describing Hillary's ad. They sold it as "They're just calling each other racists", when Hillary's ad was actually pointing out Trump's racism and association with racists. It was disgusting, but same-shit-different-day. Fuck 'em.
