Just watching San Diego...

I'm beginning to believe that between now and November... Something awful is going to happen. It's going to be a long hot summer and I predict we are going to witness some very ugly stuff. I really fear that it will reach a level that none of us want to see. This is just the beginning.

Once I saw his face on the screen I changed channels so fast I didn't see where he was speaking. I've been doing that for several months - as soon as I see him, I'm out of whatever show/channel he's on. I miss a lot of the election news, but my blood pressure is down.

CNN has it live. Lots of Trump supporters and Trump protestors, sometimes clashing. Large police presence trying to keep the peace.

Watching old Man from U.N.C.L.E. episodes - so old they are in B&W. It was a much kinder world back then, even among spies.

Runs in the middle of the night so I DVR it. I had over 20 shows recorded to binge watch but my other DVR burned out last Friday. Somewhere between the shows I had seen and the two I've recorded this week they started the series over.

ME-TV has channels all over the place: http://www.metv.com/wheretowatch/

Locally we've got that one and another channel that run old series 24 hours a day. It's great!

at rallies for Obama - I don't remember police ever telling them to disperse - indeed they allowed them to carry rifles.

I'm betting there are lots of Trump performers stirring up trouble

I don't remember the media getting all riled up about that. Remember the Ron Paul supporter stomping on the lady's head? I do have a gut feeling that this (the election cycle) is going in a terrible, and possibly irrevocable direction.
