I took a detox from US media, after Trump won

So disappointed in the American people. Hypocritical. The Trump supporters say they are pro life and they have Christian values, but yet they are ok with the immoral Trump being in office. I dont want to say I hope the economy fails, cause that will affect us in the Caribbean, but I just cant take how he would gloat if the economy does well!


And mark you, I am not a political pundit nor nutten, but I watched all the news shows once Biden said he would step down. I also thought that the CNN shows and the View etc, were too blatantly against Trump, rather than being neutral.

Also, how much did Jeff Bezos not declaring support for a nominee, hurt Harris?

So disappointed.

Just before seeing this, I was saying hat its now exactly 4 weeks since I've watched any of the talk channels...regardless of their political leaning. Just can't bring myself. And not sure when I will.

In reply to Yamfoot

Don't even bother yourself with that, Harris was a hot mess, and she couldn't even manage over a billion riased, they're over 20 million in debt and begging for money to cover it, after paying people like Beyonce and Cardi-B millions to talk nonsense for a few minutes .

Honestly I think the US dodged a bullet by not electing her . Don't waste your emotions on the US and their citizens, it was their choice and who are we to judge ? Trump didn't just get through, he won by a relative landslide .

I think more than the American people and Trump, the dems need to do some deep introspection and accept the fact that they were defeated simply because people are fed up of their nonsense, so much so a convicted felon beat them .

For all the bad Trump is I think those on the other side are much worse for supporting and facilitating genocide and pediatric gender modification/mutilation shared bathrooms etc. and of course war-mongering, have you seen what those fools are doing in their last few days in office ?

To me all that seems more depraved and sinister than any amount of consentual pu$$y grabbing and pornstar patronizing . This iteration of the Dems are really repulsive and the biggest hypocrites, not in the US, but the entire world .

Good riddance to good-looking garbage .

Coming from the well advised "high' stance, I wish the president-elect, the people, and the country well. .

I stopped watching the news weeks before he was elected the first time I saw it coming

American politics is a hot mess It has been for quite a while.

America has got exactly what they deserved

The only thing people of colour can do to affect change is to vote with their wallet , Boycott boycott boycott

I have a bridge to sell you if you think trump wouldn't have done the same. You saw what he did about Jerusalem? Everybody might have been dead and buried by now.



hot mess for going in debt. The story of trump's life. not to mention the go fund me sort of stuff he did to get money from his duncey supporters the last time. you trump fans always lack basic self awareness.

manU must be winning that aside i agree with you

I took a detox from them for years journalism in america is partisan rubbish that has no integrity .msnbc and foxx news are the worst

In reply to JahJah

Hoping for the best , but not invested in any of them really, just hoping for the best with what's available and not fighting it..

It's just that the Trump talk is a bit boring and useless now, the man won convincingly and my point is that cannot be ignored minimized or trivialized and the butt hurt is bordering on pathetic now..

In reply to bravos

Good sentiments. The MSNBC crew fooled a lot of people and the Trump side targeted the 2% who don't normally follow the traditional news and cable- and he got them to come out.

The popular vote was very close and at the end of the day, the democratic base- especially the young voters took a stand against genocide and stayed home or went third party.

These few thousand votes here and there was the difference in the end.

For people in here, they will learn about the system and not take it personally.

Trump and his men and bad people, but so to are the democrats who stood silent when their party supported genocide.

In reply to Yamfoot

You’re disappointed because the news you were getting from US media is mostly left-leaning.

The talk and entertainment shows also made seem that Trump had already lost. If you and the rest of the shell-shocked backroom had paid attention to what was taking place in the misfits’ mericka, you would have seen that Trump was favoured to win. Real merica, not the one we see on entertainment TV, had already made up its mind to elect the pedophile felon.

Bezos staying neutral didn’t change a thing. That’s just one of many many left-wing excuses.

There was little surprising in the results for me. The only thing I got wrong was thinking it would be closer.. I posted in a few threads that Trump was favoured to win. One bloviating dolt posted incoherent nonsense daily, claiming Harris had already won, even when faced with tight polls and increasing momentum for Trump. The confirmation bias in the echo chamber was running wild.

It’s all about perspective. You don’t need a media detox, you just need to make the effort to balance your sources. Get news from both sides, or from neutral outlets. Otherwise, you’ll stay trapped in the echo chamber as the misfits here are.

Answer: 0


Answer: True, but in the USA, each segment is vastly different, White radical evangelicals fundamentalist- a strong base of the Republican party hold this view, others who voted for Trump do not.

Here's what you a missing: It takes two sides, in Harris's side the Biden sin was just too much to overcome, just as you speak of morality, the democrat base sae genocide as a moral issue as well.

American politics is incredibly complicated, but we can say the liberal media mis led a lot of folks- some of the things they said about Trump is now proving false, for example, instead of fighting against genocide, they supported or did not oppose it and they hid the horrors by not telling the truth. But what they did do, was to sell this: Trump will do much worse, look he moved the embassy, looked he had a Muslim ban, look he said he will ask Israel to finished the job etc etc.

It did not work. The base wanted their own party to not support genocide, they knew what Trump would potentially do, but they were shocked of what their own party was a actually doing, regardless of what Trump may do.

The democrats were telling their base- I am raping you, take it and shut up, because that other guy, he is going to rape you more, just look at what he said.

The white liberal elitist media patronization of many minority group failed

No VIX she is not disappointed because she thought like some of the misfits on here that Kamala was going to win; she is disappointed that the majority of Americans will vote for the person we know as Donald Trump.

I personally am disappointed in every single cc.com person who could really type this:



So you think Trump is not going to support Israel and not turn a blind eye to the genocide? He is on record saying he would smile as the missiles headed to Gaza.



How can you all be so ignorant? There is no criticism on the planet that you can level at any functioning member of society (so we are not comparing Trump to John Wayne Gacy) and not find a worse flaw in Trump. It is like the man does so much shit his shit becomes normal and you all criticize someone else for farting.

Is this not the man who led an insurrection?
Is this not the man who stole classified documents and instructed his lawyers to lie to the FBI?
Is this not the man who in his defence in the E Jean Carroll rape case say she is ugly and not his type only to mistake her for his ex wife?
Is this not the man who was responsible for THE WORST response to the Covid pandemic and because of him USA per capita handled Covid worse than any other developed nation and the shithole countries of this world?

The guy is an idiot, a liar, a racist, a cheater, a conman, a poor husband and a morally bankrupt person who cares for no one else but himself.

So yes Yammy is right because good people think people are like them - good. Good people do not think they are special. They do not think they are any better than anyone else. So they expect the best out of everyone. And what America did spits in the face of all of that.

How can America be exceptional when the person running the country is so inferior?

In reply to nick2020

Well said.

On top of all that ..he has incessantly shit on people with the skin color of most on this MB:

Birther movement
Shithole Countries...while he wants Norwegians instead
Eating the pets
One of the 'smart' ones
Still waiting to hear what period he considered great in American history that they need to return to to make it great AGAIN.
Central Park 5
Discriminate against colored folks re rental of his housing units.

Its CRAZY. Seems like we have no fuggin pride. A number of colored men in particular seem to love the lack of accountability he represents. To them I say...try that crap yourself and see how they treat your colored arse.

Too many Stephens deh bout.

In reply to Cheeks


Actually, R Kelly lived in one of his buildings. Trump Tower, I think.

But it underscores your above point about accountability. R Kelly got tainted by behavioral accessions and as a result got 'evicted'. In the meantime, Trump is accused/convicted of salacious activities and still got elected president. Twice.

In reply to nick2020

Padawan, from this day I pass the baton onto you

In reply to Drapsey



Tell that to the clowns here who refer to Kamala as a 'hot mess'. Is there a hotter mess that DJT ever? The difference is that the imperialists have circled their wagons to preserve their dominance.....and the Stephens apparently love it. I can't think of anything sadder in my lifetime than the latter.

It's almost sad how intelligent people are brainwashed by agenda driven MSM narrating simply because it makes them feel warm and fuzzy.. .

In reply to nick2020

Nick I'm disappointed in you also...you guys should stop the hate....Kamla was pathetic and blabbering nonsense and giggling all the time like a drunk narcissist ..the US dodged a serious bullet ..

In reply to Cheeks

Kamla was pathetic, stop the hate for president-elect . It's bordering on treason now, but the pathetic harmless kind, lol.

Trump even raised better kids than Biden..could you imagine the amount of skeletons in those demons closets ? At least Trump's are in a glass case for all to see !! Fukn disgusting hypocrites the lot of them.

The US constitution allows for convicted felons to run for president, deal with it, convicted felon does not mean incapable, it means you just got caught, like Bidens criminal drug addict monely laundering prosititute patronizing son.

Trump for all his faults raised better kids than Biden, but you people so brainwashed and thus so diabolical you can't see any good in them and think it's great Biden pardoned his because #WTFTRUMP

Some of allyuh is some rel little soft asses, get a life and stop the hate !

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE have spoken, time to stfu .
