WTF IS GOING ON???

I have MSNBC on for about the 4th time since 11/8. With all I was reading online, it sounded like there was "bad news" for Trump and the Republicans.

All I want to do, listening, is cry.

You should do it. Turn it off for awhile and then listen to it again. Trump sounds like a maniac. These are recordings from the campaign.

I am seriously going to have to look into psych meds to survive this.

Now I make sure my TV (s) are never tuned to any news channel, whether it be legitimate like MSNBC or any channel that might show trump or have his voice.

I know what is going to happen, and it is very bad and some of it will directly harm me and my family and some of it wont.

I dont need to see or hear the idiot now or ever. The America I lived in for many years no longer exists and will never exist again.

I like Corn. I am going to start following him.

I am sickened and terrified about how this will end.

to the family package. Essentially just the locals. No CNN, MSNBC, fox, or CNBC.

I then made a donation to planned parenthood and the ACLU, which I will continue to periodically do, along with other advocacy groups. In addition, I am writing and calling my representative and senators on the issues, which I will also be continuing to do

I still get news from the written media, NY Times, Washington Post, which is far better than the sorry excuse they have for the entertainment tonight national outlets, and there is also PBS, BBC, etc. so I am not uninformed

Except for downgrading service. I totally agree and hear you!

One thing I think I need to work on: I work from home so I'm around this stuff more than I'd like. It's bitter cold here right now, or otherwise I'd be outdoors even more!
