I tuned into radio talk shows years ago, about 2005-2010 during college at OSU when I delivered pizzas. I first caught Glenn Beck, who actually sounded somewhat sane. I was fresh to politics, so I didn't really know what was up. I eventually came to be on the issue, and shifted my focus to Randy Rhodes, Norman Goldman, Ed Malloy (I think?), and a few others. There was definitely a shift as to how those shows went, and NPR ultimately became my favorite.

I'd jump to Michael Savage, Lars, and Glenn every so often and man, those dudes are scary crazy...

just like Erick's parents, Lars' parents have no imagination.

I've been arguing against impeachment until Dems control the Senate, but this is a good reason to go ahead with it. Cable TV loves ratings, and viewers love conflict, so a big ugly impeachment hearing would get tons of coverage even if the Senate tosses the final verdict in the shredder. Nonstop wall-to-wall coverage of the GOPs (not just Trump's) utter shitfuckery could decisively turn public opinion against the Republicans for at least one election.

I wonder if he’s still getting Ambien from Dr. Ronny. I also strongly suspect Trump suffers from mania. Which I think I read can occur in dementia. But somewhere a psychiatric nurse mentioned he seemed like the mania patients she’s treated.

He’s due to go in May.

It will be disgusting if Michael Flynn gets less jail time than him.

Well played sir. Except that was the old days when it was single men. As they keep saying on the TeeVees now it’s families and that’s why shoving them in the freezing cold shitholes in the desert is so bad. (Apparently doing that to adult men was OK.) Anyway the asylum-seekers from Central America are coming here to escape you know the total meltdown of their societies.

You can’t get swine flu from meat. It’s a respiratory infection.

I usually ask to change the channel and if they won't I leave these days.

Somebody in the news said you look at all these places where far right xenophobic crap is going on and causing damage to the government like trump and Brexit, and it’s all places where there are Murdoch media outlets. None of that shit is happening in Canada, so far 🤞🏼, and I don’t think we have any Murdoch newspapers up here. But because it could be right that he’s driving all this, I’m too scared to check.

I would rather have Rupert Murdoch and his kids out working in the fields. 😊

I don’t think that’s anatomically possible. I mean, my ass is huge too, but it’s certainly not so nice and smooth. Nor do I have a waist. Maybe I’m just jealous.
