I have found I feel much better when I turn off the TV...

...every time Donald Trump comes on the screen.

I turned to another channel this morning when he was introducing Merrick Garland's replacement for the Supreme Court.

1. I have to change the channel when I see Governor Bruce Rauner

posing as the regular working man in his Carhartt jacket.

Baron von Carhartt loves to wear that costume for his many commercials.

2. Limiting your TV watching is generally a good idea.

And you absolutely don't need a TV to keep up on the news.

3. Yep

I turned it off

[chia]

4. I don't even have a TV

And I don't miss it, either.

[gratuitous]

5. We observe no trump Fridays

Really drops the stress level.

6. The "political shows"

I used to be a junkie, msnbc several hours a night, same talking heads saying the same thing every night. I stopped election night. Doing it for my own sanity, plus a lot of these people live in a bubble and have no idea what ordinary Americans are like or the issues they face.


Peace

7. We disconnected our TV a long time ago. Our TV is a movie player. That's all it does.

No cable, no satellite, no broadcast.

I find DVDs in thrift stores, sometimes rent them from the RedBox.

My kid corrupted me with Netflix, but that's commercial free movies and documentaries too.

I'm completely intolerant of commercial television any more.

I think we are conditioned to accept accept rubbish television as children. I remember Saturday cartoons, I remember when my dad came home with a color television in 1966, the power of a good union job. But it's like smoking. Once you break the habit for good for a few years maybe, your rational self keeps you from going back.

8. Yes - it's hard. Didn't watch today for sure. But seeing that billboard on 5th Av gave me

hope - Focus on Trump/Russia

9. During the campaign, I changed the channel everytime his bloviating face appeared on the news

I couldn't wait for it to be over, so I'd never have to see or hear him again...
