Didn't watch the victory speech, inauguration or any state of the unions. Not going to watch that traitor lie and talk about himself like some slobbery cartoon King. His speech patterns and delivery, even his mannerisms remind me of Hitler.

the protest. I say the cartoon channel. If it got like 40 million additional viewers that would show the protest.

What this thug craves more than anything is attention. We should do everything we can to deprive him of that attention at every opportunity.

I have zero interest in anything a serial liar has to say, not to mention its like watching old films of Germans applauding Hitler.

Speaker Pelosi gavels the speech concluded because of "inappropriate comments by the president." The Dems get up en masse, and head for the exits -- and the waiting television cameras. Explain that by denying witnesses the GOP senators have turned Fat Donnie into a dictator, accountable to no one.

"F*ck the Constitution" is the GOP's new motto, replacing "Grand Old Party."

As soon a tRump walks out they should quietly and slowly leave the room. Nancy and the house managers should stay - it is THEIR house after all.

Another idea would be to just disinvite him. They COULD do that, but that is truly extreme.

I haven't watched anything when he's on. Never watched the Apprentice shitshow, any news shows when he's on, never watched anything on Faux News. I have absolutely no interest in allowing the hate and negativity into my life. I have control over my TV. The mute button is my friend and the channel selector too.
