DU speech ignore checkin thread.

[lindysalsagal]

We've heard it all before.

[Kahuna7]

1. Meeee!

[The Blue Flower]

3. I learned to be quick with the remote thanks to him

I change the channel as soon as I see his face.

[erlewyne]

53. Umm, me too (and I thought I was the lone changer).

That's what I like about Rachel, she keeps his face off my teevee.

She is not alone in this respect but she attracts me to her show.

[Yonnie3]

4. I am in

Or perhaps I should say out?

I'll wait to laugh at the idiocy until after it's over. I'm hoping NPR or someone will do an annotated transcript. It takes more effort to debunk a lie than to just make one up. Gotta laugh at him to keep my sanity even though what 'rump is doing is serious as can be.

[anarch]

5. it literally makes me physically ill to look at the fucker or hear his irritating voice

so yeah, there's no fuckin way I'm watching/listening to some stupid propaganda speech. If he declares a National Emergency and assumes "war powers" or otherwise announces some variation of the Enabling Act, I'm sure I'll hear about it later. Fuck him and the whole stupid idiot Rethuglican moron party he rode in on.

[Raster]

6. I'm with you... I can't stand to look at his face with his puckered asshole mouth...

...spewing verbal poo all over the place... CAN'T STAND his voice, and we already know the content will be nothing but lies.

:gag:

[Scarsdale]

16. All I feel for him

is REVULSION. Ugliest liar EVER to be on TV. The worst part is he THINKS he has many, many fans. Truth is, those fans are like him - unhinged and traitors to this country. Thanks gop, you outdid yourselves with this disaster of a president. He is ALL YOURS. He should be in a straight jacket, not an overcoat. I wonder if he will wear an overcoat for his big lying speech? He seems to think it makes him look slimmer. Hey, asshole - it does not.

[denvine]

44. I'm with you!

Hearing him is like fingernails on a chalkboard and seeing him is similar to seeing an infected swollen baboon's ass! No way I would watch him spew his ridiculous lies. I can't believe the networks are giving him the time. This is not a national emergency. They refused to air Obama when he wanted to talk about immigration because it was too political. Liberal media my ass!

[Bettie]

45. OMG Me too!

Just the sound of his voice makes me feel ill.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. will NOT watch

Bye, networks.

[gademocrat7]

8. Not watching the treasonous bastard lie and lie.

[littlemissmartypants]

9. That would be a big N O T for me too, nt

[Squinch]

10. Yep.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. Not watching. If he says anything important, we'll hear about it.

[violetpastille]

64. +1

[samnsara]

12. i never watch anything that shows him....

[samnsara]

13. we better not get a damned text from FEMA saying theres a National Emergency

[Achilleaze]

14. Darkside Mind Wankery (R)

The republican misleader* is a dangerously hypnotic speaker. If you think about or analyze his verbal communications, it's a bucket of shit. But if you - as his followers do - sit passively and absorb, he* takes you to a dark place. A very dark place. And it resonates, because we all have a dark place inside. Most of us don't draw the source of our thoughts and actions from those dark places, but Dirty Donny* does - and he ACTIVATES that in others.

Some folks, the aptly named Deplorables (R), lap that shit up, and are darkly gratified to feel and to seethe with the fear and hate the republican promotes. Others are violently repulsed, disgusted, and angered by his spoken words.

Either way, he* brings out bigly ugliness for both supporters and opponents. That's evil. That's darkside black magic, or whatever the hell you want to call it.

Protect yourself. Avoid toxic republican lies and fear mongering. You can read about it the next morning.

* aka republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[DinahMoeHum]

15. Not watching, either.

I'll watch the rebuttals (if any), though. Or wait until tomorrow to catch them on YouTube.

[Scarsdale]

18. He is probably having himself

specially bronzed, and spiffing his "hair" for this occasion. Those white patches around his eyes are hilarious to me. What a clown he is. His many chins don't look good on TV, either. I wonder if anyone has told him that? Is Ivanka out for more plastic surgery, she has not been front and center lately. A "kidney" procedure, maybe? Like daddy, she never misses a chance to appear on TV.

[True Blue American]

19. The networks owe Democrats a rebuttal.

If they do not we need to boycott. Democrats have asked for time.

[roscoeroscoe]

60. Absolutely

No question.

I will not watch - avoid seeing him. Not enough bleeaach

[Vinca]

17. I couldn't bear it. I hope it's short so Rachel will get some time.

[luvs2sing]

20. Not. A. Chance. n/t

[Luciferous]

21. I never watch him

[mountain grammy]

22. I'll be taking dance lessons.

Unless it's on the tube at the bar.. then I'll be leaving.

[watoos]

23. I'm watching The Curse of Oak Island.

[Sherman A1]

24. I'm not watching it or anything

Else tonight.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

25. Make it a drinking game...

Every lie... one drink...hangover done about June.

No way is it going to be on here...the only “crisis” is him.

[pdsimdars]

26. No need to convince me. I can't stand to hear him talk. It damages the brain.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Checking In!

I'll wait until the next day for the count of lies told!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

28. I refuse to insult the electrons I pay good money for.....

each month with my electric bill to view his lies and deceptions. I'll save them for heating 'cause bad weather is coming.

No speakers or headphones in my house will be fouled by the stench of his voice, either......

Thank goodness we have hundreds of smart analysts around the globe that will read a transcript and rip it to shreds.

[Perseus]

29. In...which is not difficult as the sight of the buffoon makes me want to throw up

sooo...not a great sacrifice, but good for the cause

[sellitman]

30. President Motherfucker isn't worth my time

My blood pressure doesn't need a boost today thank you.

[NRaleighLiberal]

31. TV has been off for 10 years. Ignoring of course!

[Fuzzpope]

32. Here.

Simpering man cnut holds no sway over me or mine.

This is going to be like that horror film, Bird Box.

Everyone who watches will end up going mad.

Frak that. Anger over Madness.

[Glorfindel]

33. I'll be listening to classical music and rearranging my sock drawer.

No time for *tRump.

[sinkingfeeling]

34. I will not watch nor listen to the Thing.

[NNadir]

35. Every time this ignorant racist opens his mouth...

...it makes me ashamed of my country.

He clearly hates Mexicans more than he cares a whit about Americans.

[Butterflylady]

36. Me and hubby are in

Makes us literally sick.

[Javaman]

37. I don't need to waste my time listening to that asshole talk about how great he thinks he is

and how great his administration is or how he's done more than any other leader on earth since the start of civilization.

the speech will have very little to do with his asshole addiction to the wall.

[rpannier]

38. Washing my hair at that time

And taking out the garbage
Were it not for that...

[NCDawg]

39. BOYCOTTING!!!

I will turn OFF the TV and unplug the Internet!

[dhol82]

40. Hoping for some reruns of Criminal Minds

Can’t watch the asshole ever. He just sets my back up.

[Paladin]

41. Fuck trump and his speech. It'll be re-run for the rest of our lives. (nt)

[not fooled]

42. The toilets in my house need cleaning

much more constructive use of my time. And echoes the theme of "expose yourself to sewage" tonight.

[HuskyOffset]

43. I'm not into...

...watching an asshole spew bullshit, so likewise will not be tuning in.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

46. I have the great good fortune not to even own a TV.

I'm sure I could find a live stream on line easily enough, but I never voluntarily watch or listen to that man.

[PeeJ52]

47. I'll tune into Rachel and let her tell me about it...

I'll let Rachel have my Nielsen points...

[Honeycombe8]

48. I change the channel when he comes on, usually. We'll hear the key clips later.

The most outrageous lies. Those will be shown ad nauseum later, so I'll see those.

[karin_sj]

49. Not gonna watch

It's just going to be the same old racist, fear mongering lies as usual. Waste of time to watch it.

[IronLionZion]

50. I'll skip the dipshit's campaign propaganda speech but watch the Dems response

News coverage the next day will tell us if there was anything worth noting in shitgibbon's speech. I don't want to add to his viewership numbers.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

51. I won't even watch short news clips of him speaking. He makes my skin crawl.

So, nope.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

52. Speech? I don't need no stinkin' speech! nt

[liberalmuse]

54. I will not be watching.

It will only be more racist fearmongering and lies. His voice sounds creepy and repulsive to boot.

[malaise]

55. Not watching

Rec

[Tracer]

56. I'd rather watch Dr. Pimple Popper than pResident Dope.

N/T

[BumRushDaShow]

57. I am usually in bed by 9 pm ET

so shall that be written, so shall that be done!

[CaptainTruth]

58. Tax cuts for the rich & fearmongering. It's GW Bush 2.0, with more lies.

[shenmue]

59. Watching Maddow

[A HERETIC I AM]

61. What's a "checkin"?

Can I cook it with basil and white wine?

How about Checkin Marsala?

What if I knew why the checkin crossed the road?

What if I knew what came first? The checkin or the egg?


I think I'll just be sleeping during any speech, and just count my checkins before they hatch.

[LW1977]

62. I'll be at work until 9 PM Central time

Will be only able to see ans hear clips of Bencheeto Mussolini

[jalan48]

63. No propaganda for me.

[Hortensis]

65. I WILL watch. This president is threatening a huge,

and potentially hugely dangerous, abuse of power that in itself would be grounds for impeachment. I normally skip all speeches, but he's getting more and more extreme and out of control and I am curious enough to watch 8 minutes. Since it's scripted, it'll probably be more irritating than anything else, though.

I want simultaneous fact-checking, though, and hope at least one of the networks that will "return to our regular programming" will be responsible enough to provide it. It'll be on CSPAN for any who refuse to watch it on commercial networks.

[LeftInTX]

70. I won't watch...I'll read the recap

I never do.

Although inadvertently watched his bizarre press conference last week. Hubby had TV on. We were both..WTF...

[hermetic]

66. NOPE. Will not watch

the TV networks voluntarily allow an agent of a foreign nation - an enemy nation - take over all their signals simultaneously in order to broadcast a speech largely based on lies and designed to create fear and racial division among its people.

[ooky]

67. Guess I will fast forward through it on my DVR to the

Democrats response. I'll be watching UNC-NC State basketball game at 9:00. Should be a good game and I'm not about to miss the first half to listen to Ignoramous tell lies. Pretty sure I've heard all the same lies before.

[riversedge]

68. I will not turn on the networks, nor cable

[lindysalsagal]

69. All stations caved to cover it....

Let's hope it backfires....
