They had the Jacksonville shooting press conference and then immediately after was a commercial for The Purge. Made me a little queasy.

I don’t get why anyone would want to see this story line. Life is tough enough. I want to laugh and see something lighter.

I had no interest seeing it under Obama but under Trump, the annual purge seems like a reality in the future, so is handmaid’s tale. All those folks who collect firearms; they secretly dream to use it one day.

Reading your scary post makes me really glad that I don't watch mainstream TV!

My husband and I only watch the PBS Newshour. That's it! And that is scary enough, TYVM!
