TRMS is really getting difficult for me to watch,,,

Every night

She lays out the facts. Lays out what the GOP is doing, and what the Democrats cannot seem to accomplish.

She’s not doom and gloom. They’re facts. Scary facts.
I hate them.

Nothing seems to be working for the “good guys”.

Or is it just me?

Democracy especially if Biden can not win and who ever the Republicans put up, they are NO longer a Democratic Party, but an Autocratic party who would support a dictator.. THAT doesn's scare anyone?? That Republicans want to dismantle the AMERICAN government and run this country by Mob Boss.

It just became too tiresome hearing about all the criminal acts for which there would be accountability, only to see NOTHING materialize.

The constant Spin about how things would be made right in the end, defied the reality.

Also the good n the bad of decision making of the adm. What I like about her is she not just rags about what’s going on, she brings guests in that have ideas for solutions to fix what she sees can be fix/changed. Most don’t do what she does b/c she researches and let’s her guests make their case w/o always interrupting. She’s respectful n I think her guests respect her.o

DOJ and Merrick Garland for not bringing charges? Well, here we are a few weeks down the road and the DOJ is delivering on the goods. It’s a fast moving track we are on..changes come sometimes hour by hour. And this is just one example

Yes, she is reporting the news and doing a great job. It would be nice if she would maybe recap previous programs with the most current state of things so it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle

The break-in was in June 1972. Butterfield reveled there were tapes in July 1973. Nixon left office in August 1974.

Remember the scene from the movie when The Washington Post is wondering why the rest of the press is not reporting on all this.

I was in law school and we were all following it wondering "why isn't anything happening?" We felt like the only sane people.

Don't give up. And dream a little. It might not be audio tapes this time, it may be video tapes.

I still watch/listen to her as often as my schedule allows, but...

When the Mueller investigation was announced in 2017, I thought the light at the end of the tunnel was close. Now I no longer have faith that the tunnel will ever end.

She presents the facts better than anyone else. It would be great if repubs would watch, but that
seems a bridge too far.

For those who didn't know that.

For the OP: Not everyone can expand such abbreviations here. Not everyone watches that program. It helps if you tell us what it is in the OP, just for those who have never even seen that abbreviation.

Medicine may not taste good. It may even make you sick for a while.

But think of the consequences of facing the evil that is out there without one.
