Because Presidents fund it!

misskatiemaam.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’d take the Selena Meyer administration for another 15 years over one more day of Trump’s.

marktfromoc.bsky.social•33 days ago

The West Wing

katyfarber.bsky.social•32 days ago

also good plan - not sure of mine yet…

katyfarber.bsky.social•32 days ago

Sarah! Happy to find you here. We can talk more about music. I get to see Joy Olakudon this weekend! Good timing, right??

sarahspain.com•32 days ago

Yes!! I was so bummed I couldn’t see her here last week - hoping to catch her again soon.

chocoamy.bsky.social•33 days ago

I spent today watching Sex and the City episodes on HBO (followed by the Buckeyes😍), Sarah.

ptrsonszoo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Watched the entire 1st season of Friends between Sunday & Monday to avoid the feeding frenzy.

rarl3154.bsky.social•33 days ago

While I appreciate the humor, I think ignoring the news and not staying informed is not a healthy approach. It's essential to stay engaged and hold our leaders accountable.

sarahspain.com•33 days ago

Feels like you didn’t actually appreciate the humor…

steveherd.bsky.social•33 days ago

Having some Richard Splett in our lives is always a good thing

flentrop.bsky.social•32 days ago

That's the spirit.

revolutiongirl.bsky.social•33 days ago

I’m watching Better Call Saul

Three words: Word Shaped Air.

azureskye210.bsky.social•33 days ago

Several shows come to mind

msteele127.bsky.social•33 days ago

That's a good goddamn idea

islandjohn223.bsky.social•32 days ago

This 👆🏼

boykelly.bsky.social•33 days ago

Veep is always the answer

“Danny Whaaa!

"Their laughing at her like a toddler the just taught to swear"

owen-symes.bsky.social•32 days ago

I get it, although I dont find Veep funny enough to sustain that kind of viewing habit lol! I would say, however, that ignoring the news, while replacing it with a show that treats politics as nothing more than a game of idiots that never has realworld consequences, isn't what's needed right now

chapplin42.bsky.social•33 days ago

I doubt that they will leave in 4 years. They will come up with something to extend by another 4 years. Remember my words.

lorerainandsnow.bsky.social•32 days ago

Do not ignore anything.
They are going to hunt you down too. Be aware of the shit.

the-texas-bob.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'll watch Loony Toons, at least that one is a cartoon unlike loony toons in white house

annie-ru-ok.bsky.social•32 days ago

I mean, it’s not the WORST plan… But are there enough episodes for 4 years? Should we throw in some Parks & Rec? There’s governmental shit in there, and it’s light-hearted… Plus… L’il Sebastian. 🤔

carriecornish.bsky.social•33 days ago

Excellent idea

swearitoutroy.bsky.social•32 days ago

I enacted the same plan yesterday!

jumelnv.bsky.social•33 days ago

I’ve been rewatching The West Wing for sanity purposes.

frvnscom.bsky.social•33 days ago

Obviously she’s joking you guys🤦🏻‍♂️ FFS we need to be positive 😆 Some people use humor to ease the pain. Enjoy life but be ready for what comes next.

kcedsallrn.bsky.social•33 days ago

My plan.

blacklm14.bsky.social•33 days ago

I personally watched Inglorious Basterds tonight for obvious reasons.

izzysellsit.bsky.social•33 days ago

I'm on the same plan, different curriculum. I'm thinking Ted Lasso and Shrinking. Everyone needs to pick their poison to stay strong and keep their faith, hope and love alive.

joanob127.bsky.social•32 days ago

One way to keep sane...but only 3 years and 364 days to go!

latour2323.bsky.social•33 days ago

Sports, books, exercise, eat, sleep

latour2323.bsky.social•33 days ago

Watching replay PVF Orlando/Vegas now.

babson99.bsky.social•32 days ago

Alternate some Veep episodes with West Wing episodes. They definitely cleanse the palate for each other.

1988toppspodcast.bsky.social•33 days ago

Started watching Twin Peaks. It's not quite as fun as Veep...but maybe surreal is more appropriate than fun!

exdcnowwest.bsky.social•32 days ago

That description of White House goings on applies to both parties.

dalejack.bsky.social•32 days ago

Check out "The Thick of It". Then again, that show is about a country with a normal Westminster system - not one with a head of state who has more power than a King.

rjcutler.bsky.social•33 days ago

Agreed.

oliverpurr.bsky.social•33 days ago

The White House, or perhaps the leader has changed a great country into the lepper of the world. Or so I read in foreign comments.
Is it true?

a-a-ron82.bsky.social•33 days ago

This plan is the best I've heard yet. My mentor told me that I can't meditate for the next 4 years. "Even Buddha couldn't do that shit"

hot-sausage.bsky.social•32 days ago

I’m going West Wing. Same idea though.

surfacematter.bsky.social•33 days ago

Hurricane Selina..should be a Hurricane Trump too

surfacematter.bsky.social•33 days ago

Omg! So many times during ALL OF DRUMPF I sat there and was like "this is just like an episode of VEEP!" Glad I wasn't the only one

tlvsnjunkie.bsky.social•32 days ago

Are there enough episodes

ishakisart.bsky.social•32 days ago

Madam Secretary is the other one!

gcott151.bsky.social•33 days ago

Not a bad idea tbh

birdai.bsky.social•32 days ago

You should watch One Piece instead 👌🏽

alanzhang34.bsky.social•33 days ago

renaming the gulf of mexico to the gulf of america sounds like some shit jonah would say during his s7 presidential run

sarahspain.com•33 days ago

Right after trying to ban vaccines

motherofpitties.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yeah we really screwed the pooch on this one. My liver won’t survive drinking my pain away every night like I did last time.

judaschrist.bsky.social•32 days ago

Idk The politicians on Veep found unscrupulous ways to allocate resources to American citizens of states and communities that benefited their efforts to remain in, and achieve more power for themselves, while the Trump administration are Nazis. So, not exactly the same.

zzyzxxmusic.bsky.social•33 days ago

I believe Julia Dreyfus won a golden globe during Trumps first or second year in office. Her acceptance speech was quite appropriate.

kelclou.bsky.social•31 days ago

Don’t watch anything American. It works wonders.

brkjohn13.bsky.social•32 days ago

Word on the street is that Veep is very literally our government always. Sprinkle in some of the West Wing in there too… for good measure. To remind yourself of how it’s supposed to work 🙃

phamousphil.bsky.social•32 days ago

YES. Came here to say this.

jenniferboss.bsky.social•32 days ago

Veep, is it on Max? Schitt’s Creek David Ewww face for the next 4yrs.

th3d.bsky.social•33 days ago

Ignoring the problem will only let it get worse.

juensuel.bsky.social•33 days ago

Actually, exactly don’t do that. Ignoring your house being on fire wont extinguish the fire. This is the highest time for Americans to act and stop this madness, they go so far as doing nazi salutes, on THE day in America politics, an oligarchy has been established and its on you to make it break.
