By accident. I was tired of listening to the music on my phone and tried my radio. Being a milennial, I rarely use it so I've programmed a few channels into it, classical, NPR, classic rock, oldies, but I got curious and went through the preset channels I never touch.
106.1.
I start hearing recording after recording of snippets of the news media calling for impeachment of Trump. I keep listening. I'm thinking, hmm what is this leading to?
After about 3 minutes of this montage of media, I hear the host, a man start to talk about how the media is calling for impeachment. "But is that a fair reaction?" he said. I lifted an eyebrow. Soon enough, he started talking about the DEEP STATE and how Trump will never be impeached and it's stupid. "Ah fuck" I thought to myself. I've stumbled upon right wing radio.
But I was bored, and knew that it couldn't hurt me. Why not listen to a bit of what's infecting my neighbors brains?
Soon enough I was informed about this Seth Rich conspiracy and listened to the host bring on a guest to talk about it. The guest didn't really play along with the hosts ruse about Trump being impenetrable and the host was flustered. Soon enough it was time for a commercial break. GUNS! WANT TO WIN THE GUN OF YOUR DREAMS? ENTER AT THIS WEBSITE TO WIN 1500 DOLLARS TO ANY GUN OF YOUR DREAMS! Ugh, wow.
Then it was interstitial time... "STILL WAITING FOR ALL THE LIBS THAT SAID THEY'D LEAVE THE COUNTRY IF TRUMP WAS ELECTED TO GET OUT.... You're listening to Sean Hannity."
OH FUCK MY LIFE.
Also, what's the point of this Seth Rich conspiracy? To distract from the shit for brains president. Even if something weird was happening with the democratic party, it has NOTHING to do with the colossal risk and failure that Trump is. It's just like Pizza Gate, EVEN IF THAT WERE TRUE, what the fuck does it have to do with the REAL problems that Trump presents us?
Idiots.

(28,151 posts)Not the radio host but the audience. Fox viewers and the like show up here and there to make their comments and it is so glaringly obvious how clueless they are about what is happening. I marvel that these people willingly submit to this state of ignorance while claiming to hate North Korea for forcing their people to do the same. North Koreans are forced to do this, what the hell is the excuse of the Americans who choose it?

(34,195 posts)He said there have been a ton of investigations into Trump and the Russians and each one proved there's nothing there.
Oh, and an "independent counsel" is unconstitutional.
And if Trump gets impeached, we're on a slippery slope to Sharia law!
Isn't lying a sin?
