I understand Trump's inner circle has been wanting to lose him for some time, so I expect him to fall on his sword real soon, like the good soldier he is, but it changes nothing.

And once again it is unwatchable TV. She invites the very worst guests and never challenges them.

They have really been impressing me lately.

Of course, I do switch back to MSNBC when Jeffrey Lord or that Kayleigh person is on. Blech.

But I like Maddox and O'Donnell more.

Some reason, they gave Steve Kornacki a show. That guy is Melba toast, a complete bore.

His mussed-up hair and his glasses and his enthusiasm... I think he's pretty endearing.

But I didn't even know he had a show--I just see him talking about polls and districts and stuff.

12. We cancelled our cable entirely a couple years ago.

We get stuff like HBO a la carte. Netflix. Amazon Prime video. Shows like Game of Thrones are the few things I'll take the time to sit down and watch. I have no need for 200 channels of useless crap I'll never see.

I personally stopped watching cable "Newz" on a regular basis well before that, back in 2004-- the bullshit around that election was just too much. I can honestly say that the few times I've tuned in since then have not convinced me to go back.

And I can also say that during the many years I regretfully still paid for craptastic basic cable before finally cutting the cord, "how its made" was probably one of the most worthwhile and interesting things on.
