So life goes on as normal. South Korea has gotten used to this.

(25,930 posts)Turning on the TV first thing in the morning. Even worse to have one in the bedroom.
Too many people, and that includes a lot of the posters here, seem to be watching Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and every other news outlet 24/7. My advice? Turn it off. Go for a walk. Read a book. Watch some silly sit-com. Don't obsess constantly over things you cannot possibly change.

But this cartoon is a very real projection. I am currently in Brazil, I travel often.

This is a global nightmare.

(53,410 posts)He's a Master at jerking everyone's chain. He sucks all the oxygen out of every room. He screeches like a howling banshee and is impossible to ignore because he has real power, like the kid that thinks people into the corn field.
I hope the analogy of living by the sword and dying by the sword translates into living by the tweet, dying by the tweet.
I hope he literally hoist's himself by his own petard.
I'm using platitudes because that's what he is. He deserves one of him so future generations can be taught the folly of our particular time in history

Plus, the constant bombardment of advertizing takes another toll.
