Graphic, intense, and repeating over and over. It was one of those dreams you just can't shake- it intruded into my daily life and didn't fade out.

bone-headed move of some kind or another. It's just a given at this point. One morning I expect to wake up dead from a nuclear hit on DC, since I'm only 80 miles away.

Or called out for no reason!
Stop fucking yelling at me and go yell at the TV. Don't know how my post got under your skin but it appears your skin is pretty damn thin right now.

I don't alert. I'll stand up for myself. Right here. Right now.

Keith's cursing tweet isn't going to help one damn thing and I'm standing on it.
You yelling at me isn't going to help one damn thing.
Neither will sway Congress.
Feel better?

he is not "the media"
he is a liberal voice in america's darkness
he is the voice of the groundswell of disgust and anger so many of us feel

harsh?

Get off my back.
Damn right this is harsh for media.
Heard anyone else talk this way?

Just because you are reading in to my post what you want to hear/see you have decided to attack me?

I still stand by what I have said. Keith's words are harsh for media. Certainly don't hear anyone else speaking this way.

I never wrote one word that would make anyone think I was against him. Yet, twice my post was TROLLED! Stop trolling me.
And if he is not part of the media...What/who is he to you??? The last fucking word?? I (for one) don't think so.

Any person can curse worse than that at tRump and put it on Twitter. What makes his doing it right/wrong OR great? Nothing. The words he used are harsh. I NEVER said they were wrong.

Anyone else wanna take a shot???

That's not all. He's also telling him to resign, cut a deal on his prison sentence, and disappear so we can all forget his name.

He gets an A for accuracy. He's only saying what most of our nation is thinking on an hourly basis.

but otherwise, I'm good with it.

I still think his voice is getting lost - lacking some mainstream exposure but I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. Hopefully, O'Donnell doesn't wind up in the same place.

31. Elect KO to congress

KO is brilliant on a Jon Stewart IQ level and is not intimidated. I don't know any other broadcaster who could switch back and forth from sports to politics on a dime. Also one who goes toe to toe with Bill 'O Reilly for years and enjoys it.

Now Trump. Every one else is scared of Trump, but KO is like "he's a stupid, motherfucking traitor". He is.

I wish he was in congress. Now he's a you-tube channel with limited audience.

Anger works against you. It overrides your logic, it causes rash decisions, it fosters carelessness and it makes Americans vote for someone like Trump "just to shake things up".

And my personal experience tells me that calling anyone a stupid, pea-brained motherfucking traitor is not likely to produce positive results in any situation.



Shout your frustration into a sack, Keith. Persuade with the facts, the logic, the morality. You have a special platform. Use it better than the conservative media hate shouters do.

At least that's my self righteous take on it.

the Benedict Donald "administration." I myself wake up every morning and instead of stretching, I cower in bed, steeling myself for the day's outrages. I also experience feelings of dread.

Nope, Keith is perfectly normal to me.
