Anderson Cooper is hilarous!
x Cooper: You have every right to be outraged today and angry and never watch this network again. But do you think staying in your silo and only listening to people you agree with is going to make that person go away? pic.twitter.com/xzVEgaGeDT — Acyn (@Acyn) May 12, 2023
I’ll be honest...I tried having various “silos” more than a few times since 2015; something which takes effort since I post political news diaries, for the most part.
For example, every so often I declare one of my Tuesday Overnight News Digest diaries a “No Trump Edition.”
I’ve constructed entire Abbreviated Pundit Roundups around the “No Trump” theme, even though I haven’t titled an APR by that name, specifically.
I’ve even had to tell my own mother to cease and desist with talking about Trump some days.
I’ve almost stopped watching long clips of some of the news shows because I am as tired of hearing about Trump even now as I was when he occupied the Oval Office.
I even have a “no politics” zone declared for this Friday night diary that I’ve been doing for a hot minute.
Donald Trump says stupid racist sexist homophobic shit, he does stupid racist sexist homophobic stupid shit, he crimes so much that he has about 5,298,451 cases going through the justice system...the list goes on.
And ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, and god knows what other news organizations across the globe can’t wait to give us the latest Trump outrage and tea.
One of the main reasons that I’m glad that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election was that I assumed that I wouldn’t have to hear Number 45’s voice and see that mug...well, some of the time, in any event.
Sure, as the leader of one of two political parties, Trump warrants news coverage...maybe a lot of it since he’s running for president again in the face of indictments, financial liabilities, new legal charges coming down the pike, perhaps.
Inciting insurrections against the duly elected government of the United States...and so on.
Anderson...dude...the man is ALL OVER THE NEWS! All day. Every day. For bullshit.
There is no apparent escape, no rest for being weary and tired of him.
This is the United States of America not the United States of Trump but I can’t tell, nowadays.
And I’m the one that’s siloed?
Man...let me quit before I say something but I had to get that out.
Comments below the fold.

(NOTE: Any missing images in the Quilt were removed: (a) they were from an unapproved source that somehow snuck through in the comments, or (b) it was an image from the DailyKos Image Library which didn't have permissions set to allow others to use it.)
And lastly: yesterday's Top Mojo - mega-mojo to the intrepid mik ...... who rescued this feature from oblivion:
