(130,964 posts)3. as should ALL the media be uncomfortable,
as Prof. Lakoff says, it's ALL about DISTRACTION.
the RATINGS! They claimed tRump improved their ratings. Much more important than having an intelligent, SANE president. So we are stuck with this orange ass and his useless family draining the treasury for their protection and trips to golf courses. When the axe finally falls, they should have to reimburse the treasury for the millions it has cost.
