60. TAKE A STAND NOW. Cancel ESPN, cancel HULU, cancel any Disney subscription. Don't go to Disneyland

Stop watching ANYTHING on ABC including ABC/ESPN Monday night football. My Chiefs play on MNF on 10/27, I'll read about the results the next day.

But...they'll claim that Dems won't do any of that so it's business as usual. Show those Trump bootlickers just how WRONG they are or this gets worse--MUCH worse.
