My husband is forcing me to watch Hannity

Just for a few minutes, but OHMYGOD!!!

NOTHING. NOTHING about anything we are talking about. Talking about the horrible press needing to submit questions to be answered and about the Seth Rich murder which is going to be the biggest story of the century, lol. Wow. This has been hilarious. My chest is hurting living through all this again to be honest. I REALLY can't believe anyone believes this crap.

We actually used to listen to Hannity back when he was local to us and MUCH less crazy. He started out at the little talk radio in Florence Alabama I believe and they talked about local issues so maybe he didn't have a reason to be insane. Not the case now, lol. Honestly gave me chest pains listening to that crap.

Hannity used to be local for us before he hit the big time, but we haven't followed him since he left. Occasionally we tune in to see what the other side is saying when something big hits. It was terrible.

I stopped watching though when he got to the bringing down Trump conspiracy. Trump is doing a darn fine job of that on his own.

That's because i went to those channels and used the X1 master to block it on every TV in the house. I don't want anyone tuning to that channel, even by accident.

He cooked Mississippi pot roast yesterday! Well, he put it what I told him to on the phone into the crockpot and turned it on... but it was really good so I have to keep him.

I was a bit concerned about not including the sarc smiley.

Well, you said that he cooks and he's a good husband. Does he pick up after himself? If so, just let him have his "30 seconds to make sure Hannity is still crazy" moments. Keep an eye on him so he doesn't slip and fall into the black hole to the alternate universe.

She knows I listen to see what the next line of BS is going to be.

Last week she worked late and caught some Hannity (on tape here) on the way home. She's was amazed at how nonsensical he is. Compared to Rush he's not even in the same league. Her take on Hannity was about the same as yours - rambling victimization filled with inside jokes and catch phrases. She had to ask me about a few references he made because it was like he was speaking another language.

Being forced to watch him should be a violation of the Geneva Convention. You can just tell he was the big, stupid bully in grade school who would beat up little kids for their lunch money, but turn tail & run if anyone fought back. He's a coward, as most bullies are.

One of my sons tuned in Fox News while all this craziness was erupting, He's been sending me texts on various hosts--Tucker Carlson, for instance, who has said 'everyday brings new revelations about James Comey' because obviously he is the bad guy. Or Hannity who is convinced the ratings are being driven by alt-left (love this) media focused on the circus pageantry of the 'gotcha' question. Remedy? Have journalists submit 5 questions in advance that will be answered in writing--ditch press briefings. And then, Breitbart News claims that the Deep State and all its nefarious agencies are purposely leaking damaging, classified information to smear poor Donny.

I've told my son I'm glad he's doing this 'research' so I don't have to. Watching or reading any of these sites would require that I perform an immediate eye bleach.

And yes, my son's observation is that Fox and its affiliated sites = an absolute alternate reality.
