MSNBC: Rachel. Joy. Nichole and Brian.

They are laughing hysterically at donnie.

I did not watch tonight. Refused to give him the ratings he DESPERATELY seeks.

Just now saw a few clips of his speech. Me was literally draping himself over the podium, hanging on for support. The man can't even stand up straight. His mannerisms and posture disrespects Our House and her people. He looks more like a drunk hanging out with his drinking buddies at the local bar than The President of The United States.

They don't monitor how many people watch a particular show; they interpolate from the viewing habits of selected "Nielsen families".

I've seen number of people make the same comment here; the probability of all of them being Nielsen families is non-existent.

I was able to show hubby what DT’s new walk looks like, where he swings his right leg funny and has a foot-drop. We had to rewind to where DT came down the stairs with Melania and walked across the lawn — then he saw it. He also noticed what a lot of people here have: the reliance on bannisters or rails for stairs, and how D holds on to Melania instead of offering her his arm.

We are so being lied to about potus’s health.

But he doesn't exercise. When he plays golf he uses a cart. I wonder if he is on Statins. On of the side effects fir long term use is the weakening of leg muscles. Statins are used to treat high cholesterol. Given his diet, it wouldn't surprise me if he was taking something like that.

with a diary or "watch meter" -- neither of which are done without your knowledge -- than you tuning in tonight's speech wouldn't have "giv[en] him ratings."

tRump the only way he thinks he will get in again is by cheating, let's prove he can't. WE all need to vote, our lives depend on it literally.

The repigs are our domestic terrorists, they treat Americans with such disrespect.

Even an episode of "Forensic Files" that I'd seen at least twice before was more compelling!
