(28,821 posts)and i agree, it would be preferable to having to listen to him in any sound bite larger than 10 seconds.
the only exception? when pelosi and schumer owned him in front of the press. i really enjoyed that.

(2,674 posts)It is interesting to watch him. He is mentally impaired and lives on the edge of unreality and you never know what craziness he will say next. Even though I find him a low-life, I like to see his performances and what lies he will spew.

(1,568 posts)I didnt want to bash my head in when forced to hear him speak. And even though he lied us into a terrible war for Daddy and oil, I dont remember feeling like really bad shit was always on the verge of happening. Globally bad shit. W having the nuke codes didnt scare me nearly as much.
And he did have a warm smile and sense of fun. This monstrosity in the Oval isnt smart enough to have a sense of humor.

(4,455 posts)since everyone's going to discuss it afterwards and in the coming days and weeks, I think it only makes sense to watch it. I'm sure I'll be disgusted with Cheetolini during the address and pissed off after watching it, but I have to do it anyway.

Seriously, I can't listen to him. The sound of his voice makes me ill and I get very angry that so many people actually voted for him.

(3,427 posts)Everyone knows it will be nothing but the usual blizzard of lies, so whats the point of watching? There is no border crisis, and tRump has no credibility outside of his core followers, so I doubt his lies will change anybodys mind.

(7,888 posts)I have been running errands all morning, dentist (maintenance requires more time as I age), and the bi-weekly trip to Kroger (started with them in the south and still loyal to the brand).
Since awakening, I have been simmering to a boil over media coverage of the blob. It wasa relief to arrive at this site and find your post at the top of the rec list. I join you and others who will not subject myself to the word salad, the ignorant and uninformed fool on the hill.
ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN please don't continue to tarnish your reputation by enabling a despot who has called the media his enemy. You look weak and undeserving of respect as you cave to the greed of corporate media masters. I will not be watching. You know, of course, your duty is to inform the great public masses who are casual viewers as they have a life outside the boob tube.

Even so, I only watch about four hours of television programming annually, and I'm not wasting any time hanging on his every lie. I'll wait for the recap in print.

(1,103 posts)how the media operates, the response probably won't be aired in its entirety except this one time, and if they do, it will be edited to suit the Orange Pig. (I apologize to pigs.)

(5,167 posts)I get more than enough discussion of the national topics from informed newscasters.
I hope Public television has good alternatives tonight. - Perhaps Antiques Roadshow.
I will watch Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Schumer, however.
marieo1
(1,402 posts)I don't understand why someone doesn't put a gag on DJT - why is he acting like he is our real president when everything he says or does is so unpresidential and criminal????? Why doesn't someone stop him NOW? Why is he getting prime time on TV? Why is CNN and USA today acting like he is a normal human being and reporting every single stupid thing he does or says.

I'm kind of hoping he'll flip out live, go off prompter, and start ranting like a mad man.
