    I honestly think all journalism on subjects other than government should stop until this administration is over. Not hyperbole.

        I don't want to read coverage of new movies, or sports, or who the richest man in the world is. The ONLY thing that matters is resistance.

        Just stop creating ANY media for people to distract themselves with. This is NOT NORMAL. STOP WITH NORMAL REPORTING.

        If your house is on fire, you don't want commentary on the drapes or what you can cook with the ingredients in the fridge.

        Without any distractions, people are going to sink even further into helplessness, anxiety and depression.

        THAT IS THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE RIGHT NOW. That is reality.

        It might be the ideal response, but this isn't going to be a short battle. I don't have the mental stability to do this 24/7 indefinitely.

        I wish I did, but I'm barely staying afloat after eight months of this. I don't have another gear to use.

        My fantasy is the NBA & NFL say "Eff it. We're done until sanity's restored." Would end this before Congress ever will. Spark nat. strike.

        It occurred to me the other day that I no longer have to see news stories about celebrities in airports. It’s all politics all the time now.

        That's odd. I've been thinking we must be missing some pretty important stuff while we are focused on this train wreck.

        No need to make it a rule. Our collective interest (or lack thereof for other topics) will drive the coverage.
