Last and most importantly, there is a war raging in Europe.  Inflation is rampant such that regular folks are unable to by gas and food.  The specter of recession has again raised it's head.  The markets are in the tank.  I personally can't go "all in" and blame Biden for everything, but his poll numbers are abysmal.  The only people with lower poll numbers are the press (as joked by Biden at the WHCD) and of course the Vice President.  

A potentially cataclysmic mid-term looms for the Ds.  And yet the Washington press corps, the government, and the beltway elites choose to go ahead and renew their over-done celebration of themselves.  

Smarmy left-wing Trevor Noah as the MC??  Tone-deaf does not begin to describe it.  This is Marie Antoinette like!

p.s.  I don't like the Oscars, Emmys and so on either.  I guess I'm an anti-elitist at heart too.

p.s.s.  I forgot the pandemic.  It's over as far as I'm concerned, but many of those scolds at the WHCD are telling us otherwise.  Hypocrisy much!

p.s.s.s  Since no other right-winger besides me has vented about the WHCD, I guess they all approved of it!

My point remains nobody has approximated the scale of co-operation of advising, favorably interviewing and favorably reporting on Trump the way Fox has done and that's a fact and not opinion or conjecture...

You need to go back and reread post #37. As the saying goes, Mel, you're entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts...
