Not watching Trump's Bachelor reality show tonight.

Won't give him an audience to count towards his giving a rose to one of these pre auditioned Heritage Foundation fanatics. Anyone else sitting out? We'll hear about the selection tomorrow. Trump will hand out his rose tonight and get a kiss from Putin soon.

I'm actually irritated that it's cutting into Rachel's time. And then - it will turn her ENTIRE show into a Trump Show.

Nope - gonna watch another episode of the last tycoon tonight.

He's got his four finalists and he's making the final selection look more like the old "Queen for a Day" show. "Wouldn't YOU like to be SUPREME COURT JUSTICE FOR LIFE?" Does the winner get a tiara and a bouquet of roses and the three losers go home with new dishwashers?

I will hear more than I want about it later. I'll watch a movie or old sitcoms, or hang on DU reading about other things.

TV is getting to be a waste of my time and often steers me to the "hottest topics" (for their ratings). More and more I am turning off the PINO, analysts, spokesliars and even MSNBC. Instead I read Reuters Politics tweets, the NY Times, WaPo and a gaggle of local and state oriented websites. Now, I am much more widely informed and have more time for other things.

Love the Thai kids, but even that is wearing me out. Listening to endless speculation about Trump's SC pick is a waste of my time.

So, the two main stories today are kind of leaving me flat.

It's always the same....

Trump stands there doing his carnival barker greatest-show-on-earth routine as his trained animals show off their latest clap and nod tricks. It's not real. It's not even funny.
