Hannah watches the “Bachelor” and the “Bachelorette” religiously. She used to call it her “guilty pleasure” but NO MORE… she doesn’t even feel guilty. She loves it, and there’s nothing you can do about it!
Me? I hardly watch TV. I watch Game of Thrones. Sometimes I’ll stream something. I don’t even have cable. I’m not some crunchy person who’s particularly proud of that… I just don’t really care.
Anyway… Hannah is staying with me (she’s been here for two weeks today, and leaves on Thursday morning. It’s been LOVELY.) and has kiiiind of sort of turned me on to the Bachelorette. It’s SO fake, and SO ridiculous, but it’s kind of like cracker jack… there’s no real nutritional value… but you just CAN’T STOP.
We’ve been catching episodes once they get uploaded online.
Anywhoooo… last night’s episode was briefly interrupted by ONE OF THE MOS IMPORTANT MOMENTS IN AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC HISTORY.
People are p*ssed.
ABC just interrupted #TheBachelorette to show us a special about Trump meeting with Kim Jong Un, which is like, “We now interrupt your frivolity & escapism with SHEER GLOBAL PANIC.”

Global panic? I didn’t realize trying to bring about peace and harmony meant a global panic.

Yes, Donald Trump & Kim Jong Un are certainly top of the list when I think of “peace and harmony.” Bye, troll.

Oh… girl.
ABC interrupting the Bachelorette for live coverage of the Trump/Kim summit is really an immaculate metaphor for life in these dark times

I used to think America was a free country until they interrupted the bachelorette for a fUcking handshake

Does ABC think we care more about the North Korea Summit than we do about Becca finding love? #TheBachelerotte pic.twitter.com/PLZqfD0VDF

So if this ends up being a historically significant event I get to tell my kids I was watching the bachelorette when coverage of the summit interrupted

This IS a historically significant event, Dave.
WHY IS THE NEWS INTERRUPTING THE BACHELORETTE???? GET THAT CHEETO OFF MY SCREEN AND SHOW ME WHOS GONA BE IN THE AMBULANCE #TheBachelerotte

Gotta admit… THIS was funny:
Hate when the producers bring on new men mid-season #TheBachelerotte #BachelorNation pic.twitter.com/lgrA4cEPnV

So anyway. These are all Americans who vote and probably (based on the reactions) like to b*tch about how much they hate our President.
Way to go, y’all.
