Here we go again...

I am not one to get all caught up in the stupidity of the media and how they try to sensationalize and misrepresent situations and people. I mean really, don't we all know it is to sell ads and make money. I would say sell papers, but does anyone actually receive those anymore? Okay, so what has my panties in a wad today. I have seen splashed all over the media about this situation with Donald Trump and Miss USA. There are so many things wrong with this, I don't even know where to start. First, yeah Rosie for telling it like it is. Donald may have some things one can admire, like the ability to get his name out there, but he falls for me in the category of Walmart. I boycott them both and don't give either my attention or money and whenever brought up make a point to say, "I don't support them."

So, now it is, for media attention, Donald is giving Miss USA from KY a second chance for her indiscretions. Well, then there is Miss Nevada that had some pictures taken of her a few years ago and she is asking for the same consideration. He won't return her calls. Here he says on one hand, with lips pursed and working his wave hair, "Everyone deserves a second chance." Puullleeazzzeee! God knows he has gotten several himself with divorces, infidelity, bankruptcy, etc. Oh my! So, why is he not being consistent? Because he is not sincere. I seriously believe he did this with Miss USA because who really watches these pageants anymore? Miss USA is a distant second to Miss America, which is more about brains and scholarships for education, no bathing suit. But you have to love them both as they are the real force behind promoting world peace. Yeah, right. Okay, so, my sarcasm runneth over.

So, the moral of this story, boycott Walmart and Trump. Is there really any other choice? How can anyone support him and have a conscience? The Walmart piece is for all those who know me and if you really have to ask why someone would boycott them, please do some reading. I am tired of going through it. I think I am going to just have to start a site saying all the things, people, companies, etc. that maybe we should boycott. God knows this country needs a reality check on our consumption of not just the media, but products, etc. I am sure there is a site out there somewhere...anyone? anyone?

I haven't heard about the Miss Nevada thing. Interesting.

I could do a whole rant on how distasteful and hateful I think Rosie is...in general and exclusive of any Trump goings on. I do think it was funny, though, when Trump said he thinks he'll sue her...just for fun.

I agree, though. Stuff like this doesn't deserve our attention.

I know, it was distasteful and hateful, but I agree with her so much, it is hard for me to be objective. Although, I have to admit, I am a hypocrite, here I am reading the crap. It is like a freakin' train wreck that you cannot take your eyes off. It is not as riveting as TomKat, but then again, what is?

It's really hard for me to give credence to someone who is so nasty. I watched one of her rants and she was so even so rude to one of her co-hosts...wouldn't let her get a word in.

I'm not convinced that she has the facts straight. Trump has countered each point in her statements & says he's never filed bankruptcy, for example. Of course, I don't care enough to research any further. I don't like either one of them. It's really sad commentary on our culture, though, that The View's ratings have improved lately. Then again, Jerry Springer continues to thrive.

Agree...TomKat much more riveting...even more riveting is the FedEx-Brittany story.
