I just saw a report on Inside Edition about the pardon of Hunter that showed the reaction from late night comedians Stewart, Colbert, Kimmel, etc. Also response from Democratic Congress members. And of course fox news. I expected Crap from fox but Democrats in congress, really. Then some venture capitalist whining about not being paid rent by Hunter. The amount of disrespect shown to President Biden was disgusting and totally undeserved. Everyday now is going to be another Hunter did this and Hunter did that. Not that I watch much tv now but now I know why. Democrats who partake in this should be ashamed and embarrassed by their behavior. I'm quite sure the media will be falling over themselves on inauguration day praising dear leader after shitting on one of the greatest presidents ever. Hopefully they enjoy their new found freedom under trump and his gang of criminals and the deserve everything they get. Where's the Tylenol ?

(49,755 posts)I watch TV now for movies and entertainment. Some of my favorite people have let me down with the way they treated Joe Biden. I'm done.
That's okay. It frees me up to do other things.

(Okay, so Biden doing a Kinison impression is a stretch, but you get the idea.)

(15,392 posts)Biden should make it all about Biden until the Inauguration. Each and every day do something to outrage the MAGAts and the media. Flood the zone.

(3,126 posts)during the last felons term, but the very very few things that slip thru make me sick - and i am a solid blue dem, but for gawds sake, the nominated fbi director has said he will make it a priority to get Hunter - ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? When in the hell did children become targets?, and OF COURSE Biden should blanket pardon him.
I'm really disgusted.

I have an outside antenna and only basic Samsung cable. I watch more over the air stations, get two different PBS stations that have a bunch of sub channels.

(511 posts)Tell them that they are the reasons why Democrats are not unified. They are the ones that are throwing up a divide. Get harsh with them.

(3,582 posts)U.S. Presidents give out pardons when they leave office. That's what they do. Sometimes it's controversial and sometimes relatives are involved. And it's usually one news cycle, and then things move on, without everyone in Congress weighing in negatively. What is going on here?

That is the only thing that will change this.
I stopped over 4 years ago and I haven't missed them at all.

(910 posts)The clincher for me was when I asked DirecTV why they wouldnt offer à la carte pricing as I resented paying for hundreds of channels I never watched. They pretty much laughed at me so my immediate response was to invite them to fuck off. I have to say my life has improved dramatically without not only the MSM, but all the other useless background noise, as well.
Ive become way more picky about where I get my news right now, though Im having a hard time looking at any of it since November, given whats coming. *sigh*
