---sigh----Talking Heads, why do you continue to bend over backwards to give Trump the

benefit of the doubt?

I have just listened to one of you say that Trump's attempts to cling to power despite losing the election by over 6 million votes "indicates that he does not respect the norms" in American politics.

Do ya THINK?

I know you can't call him a sonofabitch on TV, but could you say out loud that his actions are transparent traitorous crimes?

I so wish more would just turn it all off - my view is that it is all just to make money and sell ads.

Turning it all off completely 11 years ago was the best decision my wife and I made - tossing FB and Twitter as well. We feel we are not rewarding bad behavior.

them calling on trump as having no evidence for voting issues. They refer to Biden as President Elect Biden.

I am not hearing much of the bullcrap from before which was: trump says this Biden says that. You figure it out.

Unplug your TV,... do something more redeeming and constructive.
