Most American are more concerned with professional sports and reality TV than they are with the disfunctions of our gooberment.
"Most American are more concerned with professional sports and reality TV"
Sports on TV are the soporific of the sheeple.
Just the thought of the CIA being used for political purposes against any sitting president should scare the daylights out of both sides of the political spectrum.
First the Republicans because it was used against them, but then there should be enough old line hippies in the left, left to be freaked out not to mention the fact that there will have been a Republican President for 8 years with enough time to change the political outlook of the CIA, that should scare any lefty enough to go after the CIA playing internal political games, especially since they do not have control of the Congress or Senate, so no power to deal with any situation used against them.
I used to care so much about sports, it was all I ever wanted to talk about. Now politics has completely replaced that. I still watch some football, but it is hard for me to get upset if "my team" loses or whatever. Sports seems so unimportant anymore.
