We see clearly what you are doing, there's no mistaking your body style for anyone else, thank god AND we can see every word you write (which is not much, obviously (probably have a bad spelling habit))...

There's no running away rump...it's too late.

I ask because I have no tv. And because CNN is not noted for disagreeing with the WH during Republican reigns.

I don't have a TV anymore either.

I watch MSNBC on my computer for free here: http://www.livenewschat.eu/politics/

Watch CNN free here: http://www.livenewschat.eu/top/

They let you watch for about two hours and then shut it down. All you have to do is refresh the web page and you're good for another 2 hours.

Free! Did I say FREE?

I dumped DirecTv years ago because of price creep and also I thought most of the programming was pure crap. I am kind of a news junkie so I got on Google to search for free live streaming news. There are other sites besides the ones I listed too. You can do a Google search and find them. That’s a good idea to have back ups because once in a while (rarely) the links I posted do have glitches.

Now we got basic 20+ channels fiber optic. We used them antenna with receiver boxes for years. They were a pain, but the free part was worth it. Antenna teevee! 😃

I refuse to get a satellite dish and also not the super duper pkg. our company offers of 250+ channels.

You can access live broadcasting via PC/phone internet. Pretty much.

(Today on The Beat with Ari Melbar 7/24)

Steve Schmidt made an amazing comparison of book "1984" with what is happening in our country today under the Trump administration. Jaw-dropping!

Wish someone could find this clip. It was amazing!

show you how. First, using your daddy's credit, you get a bank loan for a company you recently formed with family and friends to buy a farm, lease equipment, hire some laborers running from ICE, buy some seed, etc. Next, you drain all the money out of the company, let the crop rot in the field, and declare bankruptcy. Let the bank have the farm, equipment, unpaid labor charges, etc. Kill the company and disperse its assets. And stop whining about tariffs. If you can't handle a few tariffs, then you should have never got into farming.

He's obviously a devotee of Orwell, just misunderstood the whole idea, instead of seeing his works as warnings, Donnie O thought they were self-help books.
