The Left (and some RINOs) are trying to claim that Trump is crazy, which is more projection on their part since it is the Left/RINOs that have gone bats*it insane since 11/8/16.

A good sentiment, but I doubt that it would have much effect. Their bottom line might be a little less, but they will still have plenty of customers. There is some saying along the lines of : No one ever went broke by pandering to the lowest common denominator.

“Make America Straight Again” hat

Sounds like a great product. Someone should be selling these!

It will do more damage just from the knowledge of it getting out. The secret to politics is meme penetration of the masses.

These late night so called comedians are the jokes. Samantha b is the worst, every commercial for her show is a Trump bash. And you know the punchline before she says it.]

I don’t watch any of this garbage. History Channel, Military History and TCM are pretty much all I ever watch, and very little at that.

I think Hollywood is angry over the election results for a few reasons. They are angry that the “little people” didn’t listen to them and vote for Hillary. That was a huge blow to their huge egos. They also aren’t affected by the economy, Obamacare, jobs, etc, and really only care about social issues and pet causes (climate change).

Some of their shows have become unwatchable. I had to quit watching Orange is the New Black when they portrayed military veterans as evil.

An Emmy is nothing more than a peer recognition award (ie a popularity contest).

“I didn’t know that Amazon, HBO & etc. manufactured tv sets.”

Interesting observation.

The actual TV manufacturers, those that make the “hard”ware I imagine tend to lean conservative, whereas the “soft”ware makers, the shows, are libs.

That’s a key difference between conservatives and liberals in life in general. Conservatives are the makers of the hard, material stuff, liberals the soft, ephemeral stuff.

TDS is real. Millions of leftists suffer from it and will never recover. They will die with massive amounts of hate in their hearts for people who disagree with them in an ideological way. Their world view and mental illness manifests itself in this Trump Derangement Syndrome until they become what they claim to hate; fascists.

I do remember those days too, and I miss them.

I have absolutely no use for Netflix.

I have tried joining Netflix about 10 years ago, but could never find any movies that I wanted. Oh slight correction. I did find movies that wanted, they just didn't have them

I didn’t know that either, but it must be something new. I have Firestick and watch occasionally a movie from Amazon. I don’t watch HBO.

My husband and I used to go to bed practically every night Monday - Friday with Johnny Carson on TV.

Actually, I was making a sarcastic comment toward the unknown person who wrote the headline for the article, because it said something different than he meant.

Bob Hope and Red Skelton were hilarious

Skelton and Danny Kaye were genius defined...
