Rec this if you will not be watching the (fake) presidents address on tv tonight....

[Heartstrings]

I won't be....company coming, need to clean toilets.

[bullsnarfle]

1. Can't.

Trivia night with my team.

Really is.

Just lucky I guess

[LakeArenal]

2. I can't even watch the sound bites in the recaps.

[forgotmylogin]

128. Yeah. I have MSNBC on in the background

I might mute it while he's speaking and wait for the Democratic response, fact-check, and recap.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. Would rather do a colonoscopy prep (sorry - my phone autocorrected to colony - fixed!)

[hobby10113]

4. I can't

Got a root canal at that time.

[barbtries]

68. i have a feeling you mean colonoscopy

and i agree, it would be preferable to having to listen to him in any sound bite larger than 10 seconds.

the only exception? when pelosi and schumer owned him in front of the press. i really enjoyed that.

[NRaleighLiberal]

72. yup - it's what I get for quickly typing on my phone and not watching what auto correct did!

[KPN]

140. Lol! Sounds like a good choice!

[Labiglabocce]

5. No thanks

Gonna watch my dogs sleep in front the fireplace,
I can learn more.

[watoos]

6. Curse of Oak Island.

[lagomorph777]

35. Jinx!

That's what I was gonna say!

[Johonny]

38. yup

[MontanaMama]

60. Have they found anything good on that show yet?

I saw the cross and the brooch...I was getting impatient with them!!

[Lochloosa]

92. Think about it. If they find the treasure, the show is over.

[dem in texas]

7. I like to Watch Trump

It is interesting to watch him. He is mentally impaired and lives on the edge of unreality and you never know what craziness he will say next. Even though I find him a low-life, I like to see his performances and what lies he will spew.

[benfranklin1776]

8. Recommended for health reasons

I’m out of blood pressure medication and his lies raise mine a couple of hundred points.

[in2herbs]

9. My friends and I are going to get together and clean the lint between our toes instead. nt

[Wawannabe]

127. Bwahahaha!

[bitterross]

10. I can't listen to him. I thought W. was bad but 45 is so much worse.

I'd rather be waterboarded.

[Blue_playwright]

51. W was horrible but...

I didn’t want to bash my head in when forced to hear him speak. And even though he lied us into a terrible war for Daddy and oil, I don’t remember feeling like really bad shit was always on the verge of happening. Globally bad shit. W having the nuke codes didn’t scare me nearly as much.

And he did have a warm smile and sense of fun. This monstrosity in the Oval isn’t smart enough to have a sense of humor.

[FirstLight]

142. Same

I can't even handle the little sound bytes..
He's awful!

[mokawanis]

11. I have to watch it

since everyone's going to discuss it afterwards and in the coming days and weeks, I think it only makes sense to watch it. I'm sure I'll be disgusted with Cheetolini during the address and pissed off after watching it, but I have to do it anyway.

[meow2u3]

12. I won't watch his attempt to rule as a dictator

I'll watch a real mob movie, such as the Godfather, on DVD instead.

[C Moon]

13. I avoid watching and listening to that freak as much as possible. His lies are constant.

And his intentions through those lies are so evident, that it sickens me that some people believe it.

[riverbendviewgal]

14. I will be watching Rachel.

Hopefully she will not show trumps speech but have a breakdown of facts against the lies of what he said.

I will want watch Pelosi and Schumer stated the true facts.

[SCantiGOP]

19. Then you will be watching Trump

MSNBC is carrying the speech

[Scarsdale]

30. MeTV has

episodes of Chicago PD on Tuesday nights. Much more interesting than listening to a 3rd grader try to act like an adult.

[AllaN01Bear]

15. got rid of cable tv 3 years ago. price keeps going up.

dont listen to radio either .
will be reading a book, " the book of spies ". trying to finish it.

[Dulcinea]

29. I'll probably read a book too.

I'm reading a WW2 spy thriller. Plan B is to watch NHL Tonight. Let's Go Pens!

[Ford_Prefect]

16. I have firewood that needs splitting and a sink full of dishes to wash.

I never waste time on fake news regardless of the channel pushing it. I certainly don't intend to watch that fake president spouting more racist dogma.

[DownriverDem]

17. won't watch

I will read about it.

[CloudWatcher]

18. Can't listen to him ... it's not healthy.

Doc has told me to not induce vomiting except in unusual cases of poisoning. I was considering making use of his speeches to lose weight, but ...




Seriously, I can't listen to him. The sound of his voice makes me ill and I get very angry that so many people actually voted for him.

[hostalover]

20. I will force myself to watch.

[CapnSteve]

21. Yeah, gonna be busy doing nothing! ;-)

[usaf-vet]

22. Picking lint from my belly button.....

the important things I would rather do.

[sarge43]

23. I'll go to my happy place and watch the rest of Penny Dreadful.

Perhaps Angel Heart or Se7en.

[Heartstrings]

59. Se7en, excellent movie....

After toilets are cleaned, HBO running a Sopranos marathon....that's what I'll be watching.

[malchickiwick]

24. Not being an ostrich, I personally will listen via NPR.

I don't get what point it makes not to tune in other than the fulfilling desire to stick one's head in the sand, but, that, of course, is just my opinion.

[defacto7]

25. Understood, but I don't think it's sticking one's head in the sand

if we've already heard his rhetoric ad nauseum.

[lunatica]

31. Obviously you have no idea of the comparable intellectual fulfillment

of sticking your head in the sand.

[srobertss]

26. Watching/hearing him erodes my soul.... can't do it

[3catwoman3]

96. Erodes my soul - that is a very good...

...way to put it. His idiocy and incompetence are corrosive to the spirit.

[Polly Hennessey]

27. Won't watch.

Hallmark sugar-coated pablum is preferable.

[lunatica]

28. I think I would get much more out of staring at the blank wall

Maybe I can sit in the corner and stare at it if I want a more positive reward. It’ll be far more intellectually rewarding.

[burrowowl]

34. Agree!

[CloudWatcher]

55. Blank walls are cool.

I can actually get a lot of work done staring at a blank wall. There's usually a lot of stuff in my head queued up to ponder and getting away from distractions lets me get to them!

[pazzyanne]

32. "know your enemy"

I will be watching, but not looking forward to it.

[GoCubsGo]

43. We all know our enemy.

Besides, we'll be hearing all about it non-stop for days. Please don't give this asshole the ratings he's looking for.

[subterranean]

33. I will watch the lowlights tomorrow morning.

Everyone knows it will be nothing but the usual blizzard of lies, so what’s the point of watching? There is no border crisis, and tRump has no credibility outside of his core followers, so I doubt his lies will change anybody’s mind.

[louis c]

36. I will watch. How can you criticize it without the proper info?

I expect Trump's lies and I will armed to dismantle his speech when I encounter Trump supporters in the morning.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

37. The orange slug makes me want to break my phone, laptop, tablet, and/or TV.

And I finally got replacements......
So not prudent for me to watch.

[mwooldri]

39. Sorry, I'm washing my hair.

Also... Mount Washmore is calling. Kids need clean clothes.

[Cousin Dupree]

40. I cant tolerate his voice and his mouth that reminds me of

a body part. Makes me want to put my foot through the TV.

[sagesnow]

41. Can anyone suggest a good movie?

Might want to get done with the movie in time for the Democratic response though.

[smb]

136. Plan Nine From Outer Space Would Be Better Than Listening To Orangestain nt

[saidsimplesimon]

42. Of course, a Rec for your post

I have been running errands all morning, dentist (maintenance requires more time as I age), and the bi-weekly trip to Kroger (started with them in the south and still loyal to the brand).

Since awakening, I have been simmering to a boil over media coverage of the blob. It wasa relief to arrive at this site and find your post at the top of the rec list. I join you and others who will not subject myself to the word salad, the ignorant and uninformed fool on the hill.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN please don't continue to tarnish your reputation by enabling a despot who has called the media his enemy. You look weak and undeserving of respect as you cave to the greed of corporate media masters. I will not be watching. You know, of course, your duty is to inform the great public masses who are casual viewers as they have a life outside the boob tube.

[BigMin28]

44. I refuse to watch him ever

I have an aversion to sitting still while someone lies to my face.

[Eliot Rosewater]

104. Same here, I also refuse to have fox news on any tv in my house, ever.

[SWBTATTReg]

45. What's truly the point of watching? Lies all around, and who knows what stupid nonsense...

he's going to come up with? I have some paint that is drying that needs close attention. This is far more interesting that what gutter mouth has to say, which is going to be all lies anyway. Why get yourself worked up into knots over basically, crap?

[Freddie]

46. I can't bear to hear the sound of his voice

Think I’ll do laundry or change the litter box.

[gademocrat7]

47. Absolutely not

[Kurt V.]

48. I'll be sleeping by then anyway.

i tweeted all the news stations telling them i can no longer trust them.

[Chakaconcarne]

49. well, it could end up being a beautiful disaster....

[BlancheSplanchnik]

90. I hope so!

But I’ll read about it tomorrow. I can’t bear that repulsive voice, that huckster voice, and just the fact that this pos has power and is actively hurting us...the world...the planet....makes me want to run screaming through a plate glass window.

[Buckeyeblue]

50. Ugh. No thanks.

[Harker]

52. I'm working.

Unlike a lot of the people held hostage by Trumpsky's shutdown.

Even so, I only watch about four hours of television programming annually, and I'm not wasting any time hanging on his every lie. I'll wait for the recap in print.

[Doitnow]

53. I'll have the tv on mute while he's on just so I can know when the Dem response will be on. Knowing

how the media operates, the response probably won't be aired in its entirety except this one time, and if they do, it will be edited to suit the Orange Pig. (I apologize to pigs.)

[No Vested Interest]

54. Watching, even hearing, Individual1 erodes the soul; even 8 minutes is too long.

I get more than enough discussion of the national topics from informed newscasters.

I hope Public television has good alternatives tonight. - Perhaps Antiques Roadshow.
I will watch Speaker Pelosi and Sen. Schumer, however.

[marieo1]

56. Fake president

I don't understand why someone doesn't put a gag on DJT - why is he acting like he is our real president when everything he says or does is so unpresidential and criminal????? Why doesn't someone stop him NOW? Why is he getting prime time on TV? Why is CNN and USA today acting like he is a normal human being and reporting every single stupid thing he does or says.

[LisaM]

57. Going to a movie....

Hey, it's awards season!

[Glamrock]

58. Not this kid

I’d rather spend time forcing bamboo under my fingernails!

[Heartstrings]

61. Ouch, Glam....

Clean the toilets, less painful!

[Mira]

62. "Symphonic Dances"

by Rachmaninoff are on the program of my local Symphony tonight.
Beats the "Demonic Dance" he will do if he can hold up that long without snorting or mis-reading the prompts.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

63. Sorry, gotta sort toilet paper tubes tonight....

first by size, then color shading.......

A man's gotta set his priorities these days........

[lark]

64. Not watching Cheetolinii.

Will watch Nancy and Chuck and MSNBC afterwards to see if my fears are right or if I'm just being paranoid.

[MontanaMama]

65. Nope.

Going to visit my dog in the hospital...recovering from a pancreatic abscess surgery. Cannot watch MF45 abscess all over my tv.

[dameatball]

144. Awwwww, get better soon doggie!!!

[LanternWaste]

66. I'll watch the edited version on America's Most Wanted in a year or so.

[tavernier]

67. Not unless they promise to photo shop his nose growing an inch with every lie.

Then I might.

[QUEST46]

69. Too soon

I just binge watched The Handmaid's Tale. The parallels are scary.

[McKim]

70. Resist and Refuse!

Millions should refuse to watch! Deny him the bully pulpit!

[LW1977]

71. If only I could paint something so I could watch it dry.

[LAS14]

73. And will mute the sound bites in later reporting. nt

[cab67]

74. I'm still binging my way through season 4 of Star Wars Rebels

Much more meaningful.

[2naSalit]

75. I'll be having dinner at that time and I want to enjoy it...nt

[Charlotte Little]

76. I don't plan to watch

the bloated orange gas bubble, but I do want to watch how Pelosi and Schumer will counter his hot air.

I'm kind of hoping he'll flip out live, go off prompter, and start ranting like a mad man.

[relayerbob]

77. Oh, hell no

There's only one speech I want to hear from him ... his resignation rant

[camartinwv]

78. Watching trump lie is bad for my health and I am afraid my anger control has reached its limit.

[Alliepoo]

79. LOL!

Are you gonna be using one of those “donald dump” toilet brushes?? I’ve got to get a couple of those to give to friends and relatives!!

[Heartstrings]

86. Sadly no....

But I will but think of him when I flush. That’s about the only time I allow my mind to wander into the abyss of the orange turd.....lol

[Honeycombe8]

80. Good time to clean the toilet, I agree. nt

[democrank]

81. Not watching Comrade's liefest

~peace~

[we can do it]

82. I'm going to bed.

[klook]

83. Nah.

We'll be hearing the lowlights for days anyway, so why waste the extra time? Besides, I have an important engagement at my local pub this evening!

[GetRidOfThem]

84. had a nice sushi roll for lunch today, and

Wish to keep it down, which I would not be able to watching the orange blob lie to us over and over and over again.

[aeromanKC]

85. I feel an 8 minute dump coming on.

Just giving warning now to everyone in my house!!

[Heartstrings]

87. Good to know...

That wing of the house will definitely be out of service, but you’ll feel soooo much better!

[yuiyoshida]

88. damn straight!

I got better things to do, more fun things to do!

I will be in Monster Hunter World... There are no phones or Tv's there!

[pecosbob]

112. And me

[Nitram]

89. Won't. I'd rather clean toilets.

[Peaceful Protester]

91. My refrigerator fell on me

...and I don't foresee being able to free myself by then.

(Disclaimer: the above statement may or may not contain alternative facts)

[Demsrule86]

93. I will not watch the orange monster lie.

[tiredtoo]

94. I am going to try for a bit.

Usually turn him off after first lie.

[mbusby]

95. Yo....

....nope.

[krispos42]

97. Sorry, 2Scoops, I have Kerbal Space Program to play.

Science, and all that.

[3catwoman3]

98. Food Channel for me, or maybe I will start over on my complete...

...7 season set of The West Wing. Or Downton Abbey. Or mushy Hallmark Christmas movies. Or the Weather Channel. Or Animal Planet. Or kitten videos on YouTube.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

99. boycotting network news over this

I only get broadcast and FTA satellite, so they won't know it except for complaints, but ABC, CBS, and NBC have joined Fox as being known as propaganda sources. They aid and enable a foreign agent in damaging us.

[Tarc]

100. I will tune in for the rebuttal, then the MSNBC trio for their take.

No interest or desire to hear the man string barely-coherent, spittle-flecked words together.

[JPPaverage]

101. Why waste time?

Lies on top of lies.

[AJT]

102. I haven't watched him since the 2016 election.

[mahina]

103. K & R. I've got to wash my hair. And floss.

Got to clip the dog’s toenails.

Actually the grossest job of all would be most appropriate, expelling the male’s anal glands.

[TxVietVet]

105. Going to watch my neighbor's

Truck tires leak air.

F*ck tRump and the conservanazis 😄.

[chia]

106. Nope. Can't stand to look at him when he talks, can't stand the sound of his voice. Nightmare vomit.

[Peaceful Protester]

107. I've declared a Domestic Household Emergency

All broadcast devices within the immediate vicinity will be off limits at this time.

[Wolf Frankula]

108. No, I only watch real presidents.

n/t

Wolf

[Power 2 the People]

109. Can't stomach him. Will wait for Rachel's commentary when it's over.

[ThoughtCriminal]

110. Has anybody made a Trump/Wall Bingo card or Drinking Game?

I think the latter may be necessary, but also dangerous.

[smirkymonkey]

111. K&R

Not watching - I will be watching a movie instead. Will check back in here later after the Democratic response.

[blue neen]

113. I'll be cleaning out the cat box.

The stench will be less than what comes out of the Impotent Wizard's mouth.

[reACTIONary]

114. Wouldn't if you paid me. nt

[yardwork]

115. The cat litter box needs to be thoroughly cleaned out tonight.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

116. tell your favorite deplorable ...

Distract from Dirty Donald:

Link to tweet

[BlueJac]

117. Reading and relaxing tonight...

When the Idiot speaks I watch it the next day so I can sleep tonight. I am sure he will live up to expectations, and make America worse than before. What an evil man!

[winstars]

118. NO WAY!!!

[lunasun]

119. ✔️

[Jarqui]

120. I have a hard time watching or listening to him at any time

I will follow the news on it and the Dems response

[Enoki33]

121. Only at the moment of resignation.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

122. TANK his ratings amongst his base

Distract from Distractor Donnie and his enablers:

Link to tweet

[Meowmee]

125. 😹

Love it💕

[UniteFightBack]

123. I'm making sure to turn off all TV's at 5 to 9 and I'm saving the dishes to do during that time.

I also told Alexa to remind me so I'm not caught out there.

[Meowmee]

124. I was to sleep through it

Hoping to sleep through it, I have been on a crazy schedule the past couple of days unfortunately I just woke up and I know my household will probably be watching it so… I have to eat something but maybe I will try to go for a walk.

[Amaryllis]

126. I am gonna watch Nancy and Chuck though.

[Different Drummer]

129. This song sums up how I feel about anything Tiny has to say, including this address.

[Generic Brad]

130. Refusing to watch

No ratings for the attention whore from me.

[mrs_p]

131. My daughter and I are

Watching Goosebumps and laughing our heads off. It’s a school night, but oh well.

[Palisade]

132. I'm watching...

Only for the very small chance he uses this time to announce he's resigning. Fingers crossed.

[Rural_Progressive]

133. Just finished a delicious meal

Don't want to lose it.

[Dem2theMax]

134. I saved up all day so that I could spend eight minutes in the bathroom this evening

TMI? Too bad. It's the safest place to assure that I will not see a TV.

[csziggy]

135. Watcing classic Doctor Who with Tom Baker

Very entertaining. He just offered a jelly baby to a skull!

[jimlup]

137. Yeah I watched the damn thing only because I usually have Rachel on at this time...

Oscario-Cortez was on in the 9:40 slot.

She's a firebrand. I am thankful we have her in congress!

[chwaliszewski]

138. I have to hot wax the cat tonight...

[Blue_true]

139. I have better things to do than watch that asshole. nt

[jls4561]

141. The Tarheels are on

Basketball vs Trump? Oh please!

[littlemissmartypants]

143. I went to drumming and dancing downtown.

We had an extra large crowd tonight. Drummed for four hours in the circle, with periods of dancing and drumming. No negative energy for me tonight. Lots of hugs and love all around.

[niyad]

145. cleaning the kitty boxes.
