I just turned off Chris Matthews' "town hall" to watch an episode of "Documentary Now" on Netflix.

[Sparkly]

If I want to hear people saying blatantly idiotic things, at least I'd like to know it's satire.

[GP6971]

1. We switched

to a recorded Antiques Roadshow episode.

[blueinredohio]

3. I just did the same thing started watching

but listening to people praise Trump really pisses me off.

[Sparkly]

9. And "He inherited a terrible economy!" with no correction

from Tweety... I already had the remote in my hand by the time the guy started blathering about his 20 minutes of torment in the 'voting booth' because Hillary Clinton is oh so horrible...

Just kill me.

[blueinredohio]

14. Yeah that's when I turned the channel too.

[rusty quoin]

24. Post Great Recession they went into a coma and woke up when Trump was elected and credited him.

[blogslut]

4. I think it's interesting

Every time one of the preznit's supporters say something, they get a big, fat groan from the crowd. I'll go as far as to say I think the people agin' him outnumber the fools fer 'im.

[vsrazdem]

5. Me too, after 5 minutes I was already nauseated.

[sop]

7. I just turned that Matthews Town Hall thing off, too.

It's clear his followers are trapped inside of Trump's distortion field.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. I lasted maybe a minute.

Matthews annoys the hell out of me anyhow, and I didn't care to listen to him interviewing Trumpsters.

[Sparkly]

20. It's almost like reading Gary Abernathy in the Washington Post.

He's the "guest contributor" from small-town "Trump Country," Ohio -- not a joke, but it should be.

[dflprincess]

11. I didn't even try

I can tolerate the stupid comments when the Daily Show is airing them. But I'm guessing Tweety will treat them like they're making valid points and I don't think I could stand that.

[BigmanPigman]

12. I won't watch!

I switched to CNN before he even started. I am older but wiser at this point.

[blogslut]

17. Whoa

Matthews just ask the crowd if they thought the preznit is a racist. Loud applause. How many think he's not? Maybe three people clapped, might have been two.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. So did I.

I ended up watching an old Ed Sullivan with Diana Ross and the Supremes. Much more entertaining.

[Iggo]

19. I turned him off around 2009.

He's completely unnecessary.

[Ilsa]

21. Chris Matthews was making me ill.

I guess his town hall will only be about the economy, nothing about the fact that the administration is being run on a shoestring by idiots, wa-rmongerers, and greedy bastards.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

25. The idiots are way, way outnumbered there. I'm enjoying it. Even Tweety's doing OK.

[Hoyt]

26. Couldn't watch the whole thing, but what I saw was good if you want to know what we

are up against. While the trumpeters truly are deplorable, it’s good to know what trumpeters think/believe. Nothing unexpected, but it’s good to be reminded, at least for me.

[tulipsandroses]

27. I watched his last town hall and thought it was pretty good. I knew I wasn't going to watch this one

I was listening to him on Morning Joe this morning as I was driving in to work. What pissed me off was him saying -( I am paraphrasing) " Oh Democrats have to be careful not to turn off Trump voters - they don't like being made fun of, they feel like the "elites" think they are stupid for being against abortion and immigration.

After I heard that - I was thinking WTF? So I am supposed to be tolerant of their way of thinking but they are not tolerant of ours? Are you serious? GTFOHWTBS!!!

The majority of them are dumb bigoted fucks that are control freaks. They are obsessed with controlling other people's lives. They don't give a shit about doing good. Why the hell should I be tolerant of that? Some of them get to go around calling us baby killers/baby murderers- Yet somehow Matthews is saying, Democrats need to be careful not to turn them off. Damn right I want to turn these bastards off. I do think we are elite when it comes to them. Elite in thinking about, treatment of others. They can go kick rocks.

[redstateblues]

28. I tried to watch the last one. Tweety let the Republicans go unchallenged when they spouted

Trump talking points. I’m not wasting time on that. Matthews has reached his “sell buy datel”

[FM123]

29. I watched it. I wish I didn't. Now, I have headache...

[procon]

30. It was like a rerun of Fox News Top Ten Oldies.

WTF! Republicans are so brainwashed they just repeated the talking points that they heard from every TV host, on every show, on every day, for weeks and months.

No one factchecks. No one questioned anything. No one used the critical thinking skills they learned in school. Those Republicans in the audience were assimilated by Fox News just like the syfy alein Borg assimilated the Star Trek universe.

[moondust]

31. "Trump is honest."

I swear I heard somebody in the crowd say that near the beginning. I immediately changed the channel.

[moondust]

37. Damn.

That is some serious derangement.

[Grammy23]

34. Say what you will about Tweety (and he sometimes annoys hell out of me),

When an older Republican dude called the previous young woman Cupcake, Tweety wheeled around and took the microphone away from him. The guy was left sputtering and Tweety reminded him and the rest of the audience that it was agreed that they would be respectful of each other. And calling her Cupcake clearly wasn’t respectful. Tweety did the right thing for once.

[SharonClark]

36. For once

[SharonClark]

35. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act

Home for the last 15 minutes, just in time to hear Tweety interrupt and admonish an audience member for not blaming Pelosi and House Dems because a comprehensive immigration bill has not been brought to the floor. He said the Senate bill was supported by Teddy Kennedy (?).

Does anyone know what bill he is talking about?

All I could find is:
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act may refer to either of two bills in the United States Senate that did not become law:
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 (S. 2611), a bill passed by the U.S. Senate
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348), a bill introduced in the U.S. Senate but never voted upon

[OregonBlue]

39. Watched it all and if this is representative of Dayton, Trump is in big trouble.

Loved the question about who doesn't think Trump is a liar and almost no one clapped.

[OregonBlue]

43. Yes. There were a few but in general the crowd did not seem to care for Trump.

[StarfishSaver]

40. I didn't even bother to turn it on

It sounds like I made the right choice

[misanthrope]

42. All I saw was what I expected

A vivid illustration of why our nation is in the dire situation it is. There's a lot of mental density running loose.

[treestar]

44. I only lasted a little while on that too

people saying Dotard is for the people and cares about them. Good grief.

[Paladin]

45. I repeat for the umpteenth time: Matthews is WAY past his prime.

MSNBC needs to replace him, and damn soon. Same for Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell.

[ConnorMarc]

46. Who here still watches his show?

It's been 2, going on 3 years since I've watched his show.

And this is from me watching it nightly for years.

It's sickening.
