oh man, I can't even deal with a TV running, let alone cable news. last time I was subjected to that was probably 7 years ago I was visiting a friend (lib) who was intently watching Zakaria, with his $300 hair it in a $4000 suit sit on a modernist barstool with one leg cocked and relaxed in front of the calming chromakeyed infinite blue horizon.
he was blathering authoritatively about how Trump's cluster bombing of some airfield in central Asia under Russian control was when Trump became "presidential" and signaled an intent for America to reclaim it's recently lost moral authority.
I spent the next minutes yelling at the TV questioning any perceived historical existence of America's moral authority, or that such a thing could be built by bombing infrastructure on the other side of the planet. and railing against libs as warmongering for being eager to grant trump a pass for everything else, simply because he went ahead and blew some shit up to fuck with the Russians.
friend complained he couldn't hear zakeed's "analysis" over me.
I think hearing that guy's voice kills brain cells.
