If Trump's ratings are high for his CPAC speech, blame liberals.

Seemingly half his audience is liberals and Democrats hate-watching him so they can complain about him saying things he's already said a thousand times. And will say a thousand more.

Why people choose to do that to themselves is beyond my understanding, frankly. There will be plenty of coverage of the "lowlights" on the news and online media, but nothing new will come out of it and nothing worth any consideration.

There's no need to personally expose one's self to that. Consider this a mental health PSA. Turn it off.

The same applies to Tucker Carlson.

watching highlights of his diarrhea-of-the-mouth on MSNBC. It's funny but I had almost forgotten how completely vile his voice and appearance are to me. I got a quick refresher, though, which was more than enough.

But I think it’s good to get him out for exactly the reason you stated. He’s just Trump.

I heard that the Mango Mussolini was very Low Energy- maybe Faux "news" should devote some hours to that.

How did the rest of the world get the vaccine then? Plus scientists don’t need to be leaned on to research and solve problems.

(Trump voice) Hey, that's a nice vaccine you got there. Real pity if something were to happen to it.

That's my point. Not everyone has to watch and report on everything he says, because there have been countless people doing exactly that for five years now who are still doing so today. We don't need 500 threads decrying his every move, especially after DU spent the last five years complaining that he got too much coverage and he's all anyone talked about.

Guess what? Nothing's changed.

If you think you're going to miss something by not watching his every moment personally, you would be mistaken.

I don’t get all the threads about him. He’s gone, and we have a real president. One who is worth listening to.

Unless there's a live broadcast of him being incarcerated -- then I may make an exception...
