It's a new day, and I pledge not to

1. Listen to "Trump whisperer" journalists from now on. Six years of this nonsense is enough, and it was boring six years ago. Who in the eff cares what he "feels" or "thinks"?
2. Watch elite beltway journalists spout their third grade level wisdom with an air of superiority as they rip Dems. It is hilarious to watch them try to backtrack today, though. Oops!
3. Watch or listen to the upcoming avalanche of Desantis puff pieces that will of course fill FAUX for the next two years, but also CNN and MSNBC. I'm tired of it already. And the so-called feud between him and TFG is like watching 2 kindergartners fighting over their favorite toy. Stupidity is not really entertaining.

I think those are the main three. If I can avoid these, I may be able to stop taking my blood pressure meds. And I will be much better informed.

I've read complaints about it on here, but I haven't watched it in years so I don't know.

And I would add one more -

Stop clicking on ANY stories about TFG. Clicks indicate interest, which keeps those websites cranking out stories about him.

The only one I will read going forward is when he is indicted by DOJ.

He is so boring and any outlet that centers their coverage around him is not worth watching or reading.
