Therapist \u2013 So let\u2019s welcome our new friend Scott Pelley and start by going around the circle and introduce ourselves.<\/p>\n
Acosta \u2013 Hi I\u2019m Jim and I\u2019ve hated Trump for about ten years.<\/p>\n

Therapist \u2013 So who has had a breakthrough this week?<\/p>\n
Lemon \u2013 Me, me, pick me!<\/p>\n
Therapist \u2013 Okay Don what would you like to share?<\/p>\n
Lemon \u2013 Well, it came to me last night that in just two years this whole nightmare will end and the world will go back to the way it was in 2015 and I\u2019ll be rich, famous and sassy again.<\/p>\n
Therapist \u2013 Why do you think that?<\/p>\n
Lemon \u2013 Well, obviously Donald Trump will be out of office and the Democrats will be in charge again and they will reverse all of Trump\u2019s damage and restore all of us to the glamour and wealth that we enjoyed under Barack Obama.<\/p>\n
Therapist \u2013 Does anyone else believe that?<\/p>\n
(Everyone\u2019s hands go up immediately)<\/strong><\/p>\n Therapist \u2013 (rubbing his face with both hands) I see we still have a lot of work to do here.\u00a0 As much as you feel that Donald Trump is the root of all your problems you must realize that this is a very different world from 2016.\u00a0 Things have moved on.\u00a0 Your industry has changed.\u00a0 The internet has disrupted journalism permanently.<\/p>\n Reid \u2013 That\u2019s a lie!\u00a0 MS-NBC will be begging to get me back.\u00a0 I\u2019ll have a ten million dollar annual and I\u2019ll have a bigger office than Maddow that closet racist!<\/p>\n Cuomo \u2013 Don\u2019t you mean MS NOW?\u00a0 And why would they want you back after what you\u2019ve been saying about them?<\/p>\n Reid \u2013 Shut your face Chris, you always were a closet racist.\u00a0 All of you are closet racists, even you Lemon!<\/p>\n Lemon \u2013 Girlfriend, have you gone crazy?\u00a0 We can\u2019t start attacking each other.\u00a0 That\u2019s what Trump wants.<\/p>\n Reid \u2013 Oh shut up.\u00a0 I\u2019m sick and tired of blogging on my sub-stack.\u00a0 Nobody reads the damn things and so far, this month I\u2019ve made eleven dollars and forty-two cents in subscriptions.\u00a0 (breaks down crying) I want my old life back.\u00a0\u00a0 WAAAAAAAAAH!<\/p>\n Therapist \u2013 Please Joy, don\u2019t slip into that mode of thought.\u00a0 We mustn\u2019t dwell on the past.\u00a0 We must embrace the future and new opportunities.<\/p>\n Pelley \u2013 He\u2019s right Joy.\u00a0 We all have a bright future.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need MS-NBC or CBS.\u00a0 We\u2019re smart and we\u2019re strong.\u00a0 We have skills and are only waiting for the right opportunity to put them to work.\u00a0 Listen, all of you, I\u2019ve decided that it\u2019s time to start something big.\u00a0 Why, with all the talent that\u2019s gathered right here we could set the journalism world on fire.\u00a0 Why, Jim and Terry could be our Washington correspondents.\u00a0 Don and Chris could handle the entertainment desk and Joy you handle the social justice watch while I can be the executive producer.<\/p>\n Cuomo \u2013 What kind of venture capital can you put together?\u00a0 Can you cover a two year burn through?<\/p>\n Pelley \u2013 I was hoping we could all cover our own expenses until it got up and running.<\/p>\n (Everyone including the therapist start laughing maniacally and cross over into tears.)<\/strong><\/p>\n Therapist \u2013 Scott, thanks for that moment of levity.\u00a0 It\u2019s really important to keep a sense of humor during depression.<\/p>\n Pelley \u2013 But I wasn\u2019t kidding!<\/p>\n Therapist \u2013 Well then, you\u2019re not ready for this group yet.\u00a0 SODT stands for \u201cSurvivors of Donald Trump\u201d and by definition, you can\u2019t be completely delusional and say things like that.\u00a0 Why don\u2019t you try hanging out with Kamala until the crazy wears off.\u00a0 Close the door on the way out, will you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Therapist \u2013 So let\u2019s welcome our new friend Scott Pelley and start by going around the circle and introduce ourselves.
