    It still remains to be seen who will face the music and take the blame. The "Deep State" certainly appear to be terrified of a Trump Presidency. I did watch that one @Mary Stetler since you addressed it to me.

    I generally do not watch videos except for the occasional music video. If I click on a link on a news story in some sites and it goes to just a video, I usually try to find the story in text. On the other end of the spectrum are some people that watch only youtube type videos. Pictures I don't mind or some memes especially in the humor section. I cannot post pictures here but did get in an avatar picture a few weeks back.

    Sometimes, I'll embed a video because I thought it was funny and believed others would find it amusing, but usually, I post those that I think are useful in understanding or getting additional information about something under discussion. If I post a video as the OP of a thread, I will generally include a synopsis or a reason why I considered it interesting. I do post long videos sometimes, well aware that most people won't watch them, but I'll warn you about the length, and, when applicable, I'll suggest something for those with low attention spans, such as starting at a specific part of the video, or watching the first 10 minutes, or whatever. There are times when something is so good as it is that I can't think of a way to say anything useful beyond suggesting you watch it. There are other times that the video's title is accurate and in context with the thread I post it in, so there seems to be no need for an outline.

    Like others, I won't usually watch a video if the member who posted it doesn't say anything about it because I get the feeling that they probably didn't even watch it. There are other times when the video's creator is someone I don't give any credibility to. Otherwise, if it's a topic I am interested in, I'll watch it.
