Americans worship celebrities, the way the British do the Royals. It's a bellwether for the way the culture has changed over time, and media of all types can take credit for it. It's a pathetic commentary, along with all the culture battles that drown out the real problems people face.

Some American’s! Not me! I have abhorred trump since the days of his histrionics aimed at the men falsely accused of assaulting the Central Park jogger!

Indeed, “culture battles (made up for the most part) that drown out the real problems people face.” Deliberate and with malace…

Seems like Jack Smith is ramping up on the documents case. I want them to all pile up and look as big as the disasters he piled up while in office making us all feel sick and hopeless and then, BAM the J6 case... all with prison sentences and fines to be served consecutively and leave him broke. There. My Christmas wish list. Also, the President’s Club is entirely too quiet and secretive... they’re really the only ones who might do anything... but I’m certain he removed items from the White House besides the records.

Sigh..... The OJ trial wasn't enough of a circus.....? Jen Rubin no doubt will have yet another article about the feckless MSM and how they do not learn anything from their past mistakes, and so it is..... So the Mango Mussolini gets another $2 billion in free publicity from the press, which still will not report the specifics of what Trump and the Republicans are doing that is so dangerous to democracy - bothsiderism and all that.

Thanks, TCinLA. Your last stat: 31 to 31 - an equal %! I’m heartsick to read this latest update. I hope it’s another poll that’s got it wrong. No one I know uses a landline phone. And, if we have one (and I still do), we don’t answer it. Crazy, but it’s just in case cell service goes down. So, who’s out there talking to pollsters?❤️🤍💙

I turned the ringer off and removed the answering machine for my landline. Still have my PacBell push-button phone with wired handset .I keep it because it's the only phone guaranteed to work if all power goes out as it did about 10 years ago for all of Southern California, including cellphone towers.

One can only fantasize that tfg returns to Mara Logo only to find padlocks and a security guard for Jack Smith's team tosing the joint for more documents. Fantasy.

Sorry but I can’t watch. I have to get bits and pieces from channel surfing or a headline or two. Simply can’t bear his visage , his voice, or the blather unless it is about his conviction and/or death. Then I will rejoice…and until then there is always my sources of sanity, TC, LFAA, Greg, Dan, Robert. It is beyond reason that 31% don’t realizes the danger of our fascist threat. I lay that at the feet of MSM and they’re “both siding” every issue, especially since Charlottesville. It is beyond my comprehension that any Hispanics and/or blacks have use for the cretin. Even the lame MSM had to report his pissing on them at every opportunity.

Consider the respondents. How are polls conducted nowadays? I haven't had a landline in years, and I don't answer my cell unless I have a reason to. "Dewey beats Truman" almost buried Gallup because they fucked up their sample. Hell the "red wave" last year was a clusterfuck and more polls are conducted by more organizations. Sorry, I ain't buying. I don't think most of the country could explain the difference ( at this highest level) what's "political" and "illegal", according to the rule of law.

Either way, I'm avoiding the screeching lame ass fucking msm. Give me some facts from the trials ( does make me giddy)

No matter what, Pus goes down and it's overturned by fuckwit's star chamber SCOTUS.

Mark my words.

"Remanded in custody without bail and denied access to electronic devices. Court hearings will be held in camera."

Too much common sense to ask for, I know. The reason why sensible common people aren't judges, and our opinions carry no weight?

Strong possibility he is going to be ordered not to name the witnesses and others and make attacks on them as he did over the weekend. He can be told if he cooperates he gets to stay out, but if he doesn't...

I also avoided the news today, except if you count "catching up" on MTG's "60 Minutes" "interview" on YouTube. waste of time, except to reaffirm my sense that she's an ugly bitch. and that's healthy enough to have no need of any further stoking right now. and didn't CBS know exactly how it was gonna go? I defended its decision to put her on, stressing that she'd get enough rope to hang herself, but she's too stupid even for THAT. after seeing it, I have to agree that it was only about ratings. so fuck them.

I suppose I'll watch tomorrow, but I'm saving it all up for the REAL shit (the other crimes, for which he cannot have any valid defense).

I didn’t see marge 3 names interview but from what I heard it was disgusting. How could CBS sink lower than that? To give that idiot any airtime? Well anyway, I decided it was time to change my picture again David, so now it’s another version of the album cover that never was.

I caught it on YouTube and I can assure you that it's infinitely worth missing.

I’m sure you are right about that. She didn’t get much of a stage in NYC as the head cheerleader for the don. They booted her and her bullhorn right out of there. It was great.

yup! it felt good to be proud of my town, which it's hard to be most days because it's so different now from what once made it special.

They are losing audience share (their "news" is #3 in ratings) and are desperate for eyeballs.

How desperate are the exec’s at CBS that they gave that gas bag air time!! Unplug the tube!

I made the the mistake of checking the news today only to see the bloated orange guy landing in his bloated jet for his bloated spectacle... and there was pretty much no one there who cared. And I do have to say that made me smile. I think he is up shit creek without a paddle after seeing the additional obstruction evidence in the documents case. There are so many it’s hard to keep track.

Convicted of defying a Congressional order to testify before a committee, The pond scum Bannon is still not jailed! Even if convicted, the amoral criminal trump will delay his incarceration using every fake loophole conjured up by some demented person with a law degree!

The only news worthy of the exaggerated label ‘bombshell’ is the announcement that trump is being processed at Riker’s Island then transferered to Guantanamo Bay for a lfe sentence without parole for the death of the Capitol Police personnel!

Re Lt. Gov. Steele: it’s amazing how the mind clarifies when freed from the fog of the GQP. Him and Steve Schmidt. Go figure.

As for the impending circus, well, it’s coming to town. I hadn’t considered that until today. Imagine spending millions of dollars worth of broadcast minutes watching SUVs drive down a freakin’ road. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I guess we’re not going to get anything done now. I sure hope Pres. Biden and the Democrats can sneak in some good policy here snd there while none of us are looking.
