Same. I just don't care. It doesn't matter who he names to what position because they're all criminals, idiots, and perverts.

I read that the ratings for both MSNBC and CNN have plummeted since the election so I think the media will discover they miscalculated when they re-elected Trump. At least as far as ratings are concerned.

First off, I'm sorry to hear about your father, @Wendy.  I think I understand how hard it must be for you, since I lost mine suddenly twelve years ago.  It's been my experience that you never stop grieving the loss of a parent; you just learn how to navigate your days without them.  Sending you and your loved ones all my love and prayers.

Speaking of things that probably need to go, I've never understood the concept of "safe spaces" beyond those designed specifically for sexual and domestic abuse survivors.  To me, it sounds too "EST," and I'm a liberal, lol.

It's a cliche, because it's true: there IS no honor among thieves.

And I'm glad to hear ratings for MSNBC and CNN have plummeted since the election!  I, myself, have made a concerted effort to disengage from social media, save for Bluesky (which I'm still somewhat weary about, but we'll see).  I know I'm just one person and the billionaires don't give a [!@#$%^&*], but I figured it was the least I could do for the America I still believe in, lol.

@Wendy My condolences to you during this difficult time. 

Sooner than MSNBC or CNN, I'd like to see Fox's ratings plummet, but they just keep growing and growing. And once the circus is back up and running come January 20th, the eyeballs will be glued back on cable news, and all the newsy folks will be ejaculating with glee by their Nielsen numbers. 

Like others, I've disengaged from mainstream news other than the nightly news to keep up with things. I need a break to decompress and stop feeling antsy, wound up, anxious and depressed.

Only political thing I care about right now is if the Senate manages to confirm all those blue judges they've teed up before the handover. If they whiff on it or Schumer and Durbin decide to act like it's still 1992 and wouldn't be sporting, fuckin' miss me. They can all retire, BTW.

I think a lot of people feel this well. Hell, my own psychiatrist basically said that she is accepting that this is just who people are and Trump voters are about to be in a world of hurt. 

Watching Trump voters say that he isn't going to deport their undocumented family members because they work hard is so sad. He can't deport everyone, but many people are going to be randomly going to be caught in the ICE net.

@WendyI'm sorry for your loss. What a god awful couple of weeks.

Thank you for the answer. I completely understand how you feel about watching the news.

    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol 
    • "And I also want to flirt with every woman that comes my way... but then beat up anyone who talks to my wife. BECAUSE I'M A MAAAAAAAAAAAN." Give me a break with your ugly baby paintings... You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.
