Even Shep Smith on Fox cannot believe his ears re, the electoral votes. (Don't ask how I know) I think Shep should exit that Fox Hole. Is this really happening?
But, but, but, the stock market.

Lest we forget that the VP tried to create his own state run news agency when he was our governor. The project was canned after the free press called BS on the whole thing. But I cannot help but think that he is laying the groundwork to try again on the national level since the press cannot be trusted. And his sheeple will eat this shit up... well the ones who are trying to keep up on their alternative facts at least. As opposed to the ones who are just sitting back and waiting for America to be great again like he promised...like Ed McMahon is going to show up at their doorstep any day now with balloons and a giant check for their exciting new high paying job. I still can't believe this shit is real

So I wanted to watch that clip from the speech, but every time I hovered the mouse over it, I started to feel the beginnings of a panic attack. I'm not even exaggerating. I am so torn between the need to stay informed and the need to keep myself together. I can still read about him, but listening to him is now officially a trigger for my panic attacks.

I am so torn between the need to stay informed and the need to keep myself together. I can still read about him, but listening to him is now officially a trigger for my panic attacks. I have realized that watching him, the VP, or any of his people is not good for my physical or mental health. I try to stay generally informed via what I catch on the nightly news here and there, but it isn't a lot. I always felt a certain amount of pride in being a pretty well-informed and knowledgeable person when it came to current events and politics (for being a SAHM with 3 small kids). And it just pisses me off even more that his shenanigans make me avoid the news now.

Holy crap Batman...I feel like someone replaced my cancer meds with LSD. Was that a presidential press conference or a new SNL sketch?
It's like asking a child, mid tantrum, questions about politics.

"You have 0 free articles left this month". Boo!!!! If you have Amazon Prime you can get a subscription free for six months (and I think only $5 a month after that). Support the free press!

My dd23 just said she thinks he just learned about uranium by watching the SpongeBob episode in which Plankton defines fun: "FUN" My kids and I sing that all the time!! And it's perfect bc Plankton is 1% evil and 99% hot gas ( I assume Trump's ratio is slightly different) I want to like this a million times. No, make that infinity times!

(the thought that someone, him or me, must be on psychedelics) and, seriously, if put side by side, real, fake and SNL are hardly distinguishable.

what's in the "mainstream media accountability survey?" I kinda want to go take this survey, just to skew the results... Which is why I pay absolutely no attention to polls anymore.

I would love to see a transcript of the press conference. Look at his exact words, the incomplete sentences, the zig zag of his thought process. I didn't watch the press conference, I read the transcript, sitting next to me was a full glass of wine. It is now empty. I am going for the full bottle. OMG

I though it was interesting that several reporters kept pressing him about campaign staffers contacting Russia prior to the election. They were very specific and were trying to tie him down with a yes or no answer. Of course he said that he did not have knowledge of such contact. It makes me wonder if there isn't some information to the contrary floating around out there. ETA: I realize there are rumors about staffers talking to Russia. I'm just wondering if someone has a source they are working on and they are trying to get him to lie in public before running with the story. If you believe the intelligence leaks, there are transcripts of these phone calls. And the fact he is going after the leaks not the information in the leaks is surely spurring the media to dig deeper, and trying to get him on record issuing a flat denial. Whoever leaked the information should just go ahead and put it all out there now. They should go ahead and share the transcripts. Why make us all wait, and leave everyone to speculate about what exactly was said? And when. And by whom. What's the purpose of sharing some of it, and not all of it? If he's directly involved, and it's on tape, let's get it over with. Why wait to see if they can catch him in a lie?

okay, i took the survey (first link). i said "no" A LOT. i am canadian so i guess you know what i used as my zip code.... yup 90210. it would be awesome if another organization ran the exact same survey.... and the absolute *opposite* results. of course, it would all be lies. as a canadian, i do watch a lot of canadian news. but for breaking action, big deal stuff... i watch (and trust) CNN. and when there is a bias, which i do see often, i can see and take that into account.

Just watched Fox's recap of the presser. Very creative use of editing. The soundbites almost made Trump look literate and sincere.

Whiny ass sure isn't going to like like the CNN shows he absolutely, totally, bigly, yugely doesn't watch. If I was CNN, I'd be stacking that 10:00 pm show. Anyone know what show that is? ETA- looks like it's Don Lemons show, not someone I particularly know I watched part of it last night. Don was literally speechless after they played the video of part of the press conference.
