39. Sorry drmeow, but I'm not sure I'm buying it. But wouldn't it be nice.

I do like some of your ideas but I don't know how much good they'd do. Sociopaths are like leopards, they can't change their spots. Refusing to signal boost his trash talk and lies would be a welcome change. Could possibly have an effect. I'm not sure if it will be the effect we want though.

I'd love not having to see his face or hear his voice. I wish they'd just use a static "stock photo" to replace a living breathing video of him. It would also be great to hear more mockery of him by the artists and comedians.

Limiting reporting on him to once a week in summary form would be nice, too.

Just save up a whole weeks worth of his nonsense and report it as a synopsis. I'd like to see them try that. If anyone wants to know what he's up to then, just go to twitter.

He's a colossal waste of time and oxygen.

How about a medical 'progress report' type of reporting. Just a weekly, "no change in condition" stamp. That's sufficient, imo.

We should have all figured out by now, that what is currently passing as pertinent information is really just the ego stroking, self serving, word salad, confabulatory behavior of an uneducated, raving lunatic, insipid twit.

His verbiage is so blah. We shouldn't be surprised or shocked by what's really just an example of a poorly executed smoke and mirrors side show. We should have figured that out by now, at the very least.

Presidential Alert me on my phone when he keels over. That'll do.

Ho hum. Yawn, already.

Ignoring him is what works. redstatebluegirl Nov 2018 #1
