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.
