To watch or not to watch??

[boston bean]

I suffered through everyone one of Bush's SOTU. I did so to keep myself informed.

I don't know if I can stomach watching this maniac. But I probably will. Not fully decided.

How about you?

1. I've got to watch I want..

to see the facial expressions on both sides as he walks down the aisle.

I want to see who will be trying to kiss his ass. I want to see who will clap,how stupid he looks and sounds among other things.

2. Bruins are playing. Easy choice. nt

3. Put it this way, I didn't watch Bush, so this one

certainly isn't worth my time. It would be normalizing him, and he is not normal.

4. one stays "informed" by getting information from reliable sources.

donnie is not a reliable source of information.

he proposed a budget his own party says is "doa".

he's signed executive orders that courts have swiftly struck down.

he's broken all records for lying.


nothing he says is relevant unless and until others decide to take it seriously. *then* it becomes news.

5. I'll read about it afterwards.

Trump's like GWB to me. Every time I hear is voice I turn off the radio.

[Gothmog]

6. I am justifying this by noting that trump cares about ratings

In addition, I do not want to see my blood pressure rise

[Beacool]

7. I refuse to watch any of his speeches.

I'll either look at the excerpts later on or read the transcripts. I can't stand to hear him. He has the vocabulary of a poorly educated 12 year old and constantly lies. So, why bother?

[femmocrat]

8. I'll take one for the team.

I'll try to watch it. I'm hoping some other DUers watch so we can talk about it IRT.

9. Please advise when the Dem response comes on.

Then I might tune in.

Thanks.

[femmocrat]

10. Ok... if I'm still awake.

I didn't know there was a dem response. Do you know who is giving it?

[lpbk2713]

13. Former Gov. Steve Beshear of Kentucky

Thanks again.

11. I will do an hour on treadmill watching whatever I can find non-news related

I will surely hear about it afterwards, but I just cannot stomach watching him.


I have found a new/heightened affinity for classical music--adagios are great for the blood pressure--so will have some beautiful background music on afterwards.

12. Oh, hell no!

His voice truly annoys they hell out me .... his malignant buffoonery enrages me to the point that I truly believe my health is impacted. I will read analysis by the NYT, Washington Post, BBC and CNN (45s hatred of CNN has caused me to pay much more attention to them).

I cannot watch

[Dustlawyer]

14. I think all of the Democrats should just walk out right after it starts!

[bdamomma]

15. No not at all

I will be here among DU'ers.


Anyone who is going to watch thank you. You have a strong will, I would be yelling too much at the TV not good for my health, plus I can't stand stupidity and bs.

[rzemanfl]

16. I voted "hell no" only because at my age my teeth probably aren't strong enough to

chew my arm off with.

[Jamaal510]

17. I'm watching

the Warriors game, then I'll see the Dem rebuttal and the lowlights of the SOTU later.
