Back in the 1970’s streaking was all the rage.  I remember going to Portland Beaver baseball games and some knucklehead would take off towards the outfield with no clothes on and cause a fair amount of commotion while the game was put on hold.

Initially, when it happened on national TV, the networks would put a spotlight on the spectacle, which they figured out was the wrong thing to do because it just made more wanna-be streakers get into the game.

Eventually they learned that the best policy was to go to commercial break and never give the person any air-time.  That seemed to put an end to that.

Trump is the same way.  He masterfully hogged 90% of the air-time during the primaries with his extreme positions on immigration plus a steady flow of insults and tweets.  The networks fell for it and are still falling for it.  This is the problem.

Every newscast is all Trump, all day.  Good or bad news, it doesn’t matter.  It’s always about him and that’s exactly how narcissists like it.

I’ve recently decided to just turn anything with him on it off.  Similar to the streakers, no undue attention.  The Mueller investigation will take its course.  I have faith in the voting public when the chips are down.  If he can barely govern with control of the House and Senate, there’s hope for a complete meltdown if he loses at least one house.

I don’t even think he won the election now.  It’s quite apparent that voter suppression in swing states affected the outcome which was decided by less than 1%.   He’s not my president.  I don’t need to listen to a word he says.  It’s all bluster anyway.

I never thought I’d be sitting here rooting for $5/gallon gas, but here I am.  Bring it on.  That would be very bad news for Republicans, and anything that’s bad news for Republicans makes my day.
