my main question...why, oh why, are you watching him? them?

eyeballs, money for the networks, eyeballs mean they keep showing that mess.

I don't want to tell you what to do - but the attention everyone gives them aids and abets this criminal.

Please...Just...Turn...It...OFF! You are feeding the monster!

I just read about it on news sites, or here. Life is too short to let that fucking asshole steal a second of my joy.

I also put threads and tweets by him in the trash can so they don't clutter things up.

He has nothing to say that makes me better informed so I focus on other facts.

Personally, I value my mental health too much to let him take up space in my head.

Take care of yourselves. That's what is most important, right now. It's good that you guys have each other in this moment.

For the past couple of days, at least in our locale, those national news broadcasts have been entirely pre-empted by this blowhard and his troupe. I think that is probably by design.

Felt my blood pressure going up as I started screaming - especially when Dr Birx mentioned how over the weekend she was concerned and he starts walking away dramatically and then when she said she tested negative he lets out a loud “phew”

God I fucking hate this immature stunted fuckface idiot

I can't stand listening to him.

The only time I willingly listen to him is on Randy Rainbow videos and Stephen Colbert monologues.

So as much as I hate him, I will listen, to see what is said by him, by his cronies, by the medical staff.

What I want to know is why do so many people keep the TV on?

We don't.

It's the best way to avoid seeing him, IMHO.
