2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDoes anyone have a link to O'Donnell putting Matthews in his place?
The day after the election I didn't watch any cable show.
I knew that Matthews would be gushing over trump (did he?) and I was to devastated to tune in.
But someone posted that at a round table Lawrence let Matthews have it.
Can someone provide a clip? Or at least describe in detail what happened?
On another note, I can't watch MSNBC anymore, I haven't watched Hardball since the election. All In with Chris Hayes and the Rachel Maddow show once (I swear she was crying), and The last word with Laurence O'Donnel three times. But last night I didn't tune in at all.
It hurts too much,

I feel so lied to (not by them) but misled, violated. I trust nothing now; not reality, not spew
I'm actually sick in bed. My physical body has absorbed this terror
Do I have an active imagination? Yes.
I think I can watch Samantha Bee and Colbert, et al. Have really been tuning out and ingesting only written current affairs. Too real. Too present. Too devastating

I even went back to playing Sims3 which I hadn't opened in three or four years.

(7,113 posts)It was in the early morning hours of Nov 9 while they were all still doing election returns.
I wish I could remember details, but Tweety came on spouting his usual speculative off-the-wall crap with no grounding in reality, and, considering the bad news they were dealing with, both RM and LO were no doubt just in the mood to blast him as a form of release. I was waiting for Brian W to break it up, but I suspect he was enjoying it.
Sorry I can't remember the subject matter, but I did tweet at the time it was the single high point of otherwise wretched election returns.
