I like my TV and while I've never thrown anything at a TV before there's a first time for everything.

I was wondering when Bill was coming on again, he will have plenty to say.

No my TV will not be going on.

I am posting this Democracy Now will be televising the swearing in and the Womens March. Definitely watching the March.

We have the Neilson boxes on our tvs.and we will definitely have all tvs.on that day. They will be on any channel that has no coverage of the travesty taking place that day.

I have actually been a member for years but I have a new email address so I had to sign up again under a new profile. This site makes me feel so connected with like minded people. Something that is hard to do here in East Tennessee.

by watching DVDs of the West Wing over and over.

I've started to watch them again... but I don't think it will tide me over for 4 years of Drumpf.

California time. If I need distraction, all my music is now on my iPod and I will play it very loud.

The GOP is rotten to the core and I am not going to watch this crap in real time. I know the Dems who have to be on stage with that miserable specimen will do us proud. They can all go home and shower afterward.

I have a busy weekend planned, and none of it involves TV news or commentary. Friday I'm at the local rally. Saturday is a 12 hour day getting to and from Los Angeles to take part in the Women's March. Sunday hubby and I will be out of town to look at a house. Sometime Monday I'll read the Los Angeles Times and catch up.

Benedict Donald and his entire cabal can all go to Hell, and I don't have to watch it.

Haven't watched TV news since the eighties anyway, but no radio news until the celebratory BS is over.
