simply turn the TV off.

The ratings will move the stations to stop covering it. It has worked many times when we have come together to boycott to make a point. Why are people continuing to watch? Its not like we are hearing anything of value that we could not get simply by watching regular news.

Just change the channel, or put on some good music. It will do your blood pressure a world of good

If the soon-to-be-ruling Nazis want to keep their propaganda on, they'll compensate stations for toeing the line.

There will only be one thing that will take RL off the air and it is currently residing in his lungs. Who is left on right wing radio to spew the lies and hate once he is gone? Allot of their power will be unplugged.

That doesn't mean we have not made a difference - we have. I've been here on DU for YEARS and I have watched it happen. Only by us standing together will change happen. I have faith that what is happening in the world right now is bigger than any virus, I have hopes that we are in the middle of an awakening and have an opportunity to correct our course with this earth and with our country.

Look at Wisconsin

7. Nothing Trump says has any more significance than the quacking of an angry duck.

His only job duty is to sign whichever papers his masters place in front of him.

There's no point in listening to him.

It's noise.

Kept checking back to see what the host and panel had to say about it at MSNBC, but each time I checked he was still babbling. He has sounded that way from the first moment of his campaign. He has NOTHING a sane person would want to hear.

It's the way he says nothing which drives a person straight into disgust, repulsion, horror. He wheedles, bitches, whines, uses that shockingly odd cooing sound, and often hears a new word or invents one, and starts using it obsessively, until you think you have to scream: this week it's "aspirational."

How do you think his three wives kept from committing suicide when he entered his "pillow talk" phase? OMG. His spittle-covered anus-shaped lips forming unbearable whispery, confidential sounding tones right next to their ears....

Shudder. He NEVER shuts up. Today he urged his audience in the briefing to pretend they wanted him to talk longer as he complained there are some people who accuse him of talking too long. "Would you like me to talk longer?"

10. "why are they continually covering this bullshit?" Because this POS is POTUS. That's the media's

excuse, and they're sticking to it. They love covering mass murders and natural disasters, and Trump's shit show provides elements of both, without having to actually leave DC.

Still, I suspect after this POS loses in November, our corporate media will continue slavishly covering every moronic thing this POS says or tweets. No matter what Biden says or does over the next four years, our corporate media will be camped outside of Mar-a-Lago, eager to report whatever vile absurdity comes out of this POS' anus mouth. They'll treat him like some sort of leader in exile.

From the opening scene to the final curtain, we're all waiting for something that will never happen.
