Rec this if you're NOT going to watch trump on tv tonight

[Heartstrings]

Nothing says presidential quite like awkward hand gestures, repetitive unintelligible comments and back talking on Twitter once he's done..... I can't wait to see his tweet regarding what he says he didn't say shortly after he said it on camera...

[LittleGirl]

1. I can't watch that baffoon. eom

[Heartstrings]

2. Me either....

Just trying to get a head count of those who can stomach him.....

[LakeArenal]

75. NOPE

[saidsimplesimon]

100. head count?

Did you mean the brain dead and the barely alive?

[Heartstrings]

104. Need to include the deplorables in the count as well!

[FiveGoodMen]

29. Same here.

I'd start throwing and kicking things.

Probably break something.

[TimeToGo]

77. Won't watch

(but betting that media will swoon over how presidential he was)

[Scarsdale]

139. He is claiming

about Afghanistan "I inherited a mess" So, there you have it, Obamas fault - EVERYTHING. President Obama inherited a much bigger mess, yet NEVER placed blame on anyone. He just got to work and tried to fix it, in spite of the gop obstruction. Of course, President Obama is a REAL man and a REAL President.

[MFM008]

3. Refuse to watch

The head of the Very (K)very(K) white (K) nazi party.

[Heartstrings]

7. Pretty sure this op

isn't off to greatest threads!

[LenaBaby61]

35. "Refuse to watch ...

The head of the Very (K)very(K) white (K) nazi party."

Same here

[MFM008]

192. Lookin at you

[Elwood P Dowd]

4. Don't have enough extra blood pressure pills to watch that trash. (nm)

[Luciferous]

5. No thanks, watching him makes me sick.

[TheBlackAdder]

6. You need to make this an active response. Rec this if you're NOT going to watch trump on tv tonight

[Heartstrings]

8. Great idea! Done!

[Heartstrings]

33. Just look at it take off now!

Thanks for the change suggestion!

[TheBlackAdder]

68. Cool.

I realized that when I read your post, I wouldn't have done anything.

There would be no indication that people were going to ignore his speech.

[rusty fender]

9. Don't want to burn my retinas

not watching that POS

[MFM008]

10. He is

A total eclipse of the IQ.

[sprinkleeninow]

40. Total eclipse of his 'wind tunnel', if you know what I mean.

I'm sick enuff as it it. Don't want to make a trip to the ER.
🤕 Oww, my nerves!

Annnd, a recommendation, if I'm allowed?!

[saidsimplesimon]

101. Great response

Made me smile

[rusty fender]

150. Thanks

[Zoonart]

11. Nope!

May watch some of the after party. I will definitely be following the live blogging here at DU.
PLus... just for a little extra added viewing pleasure, anyone who watches will have to endure at least one talking head declare that "Trump became President tonight". As a matter of fact that should be our drinking game.

The drink up words should be:
Pivot
Presidential
Reset

What weasel words would you add?

[calimary]

157. The usuals: Incredible. Amazing. Great. Special. And also, Very Special.

I'm not sure he knows what "pivot" means.

[Zoonart]

160. I meant the words used by the talking heads...

Not 45.

Have fun and be safe out there.

[calimary]

187. Oh crap, my bad.

Where was my brain, anyway?

In the talking head division I would guess one of those "he became president tonight" verbal farts that you'd already mentioned. I'd also expect "disappointing/disappointed" and other such synonyms. And maybe a few "he had a chance to... (but he blew it)s."

[Aristus]

12. I try never to watch him...

[SergeStorms]

125. I can honestly say....

I've never watched a Donald Trump speech. Not during the primaries, not even during the Presidential debates. I just can't stand his voice or his stupid looking face. He makes me physically ill.

I'm also 67 years old, and would like to live as many MORE years as possible. Exposing myself to stroke and heart attack inducing idiots is not on my "to do" list anymore. Simply reading about him on DU is all my psyche can take.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

171. Agree 100%

I'm darn near 70 and have the same ill feelings in my mind and gut. I suspect this administration will cost the US tremendously just in increased health claims for stress, anxiety, depression, and ulcers. That's in addition to increases due to worsening health insurance coverage, reduced workplace safety and reduced environmental protections. He'll also probably cause increases in alcohol and drug abuse, and divorce!

At my age, I'm thinking of resurrecting some of my old hobbies just for relief.

[Initech]

13. I would only watch to see how small the crowds are.

Other than that I couldn't give a shit.

[mcar]

14. I've got far better things to do

[COLGATE4]

15. Rec.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. No way. Hate that asshole! NEVER!

[Xipe Totec]

17. One eclipse per day is enough. nt

[wryter2000]

18. Rec

I don't have to listen to a bunch of lies

[calimary]

19. I REFUSE!

Could use that time to clean out the cat box and round up all the trash in the house (tomorrow's Trash Day). It will be FAR more edifying.

[saidsimplesimon]

102. I like your attitude.

Edifying and very funny.

[maryellen99]

20. Hell no im not watching

[zeusdogmom]

21. I have band rehearsal

Hopefully the doofus will be done bloviating by the time I pack up my music and head home. But I look forward to the rehash here on DU.

[saidsimplesimon]

107. Zeus

Have fun at band practice and don't worry, the media will continue to bloviate for days

[saidsimplesimon]

112. Forgot my manners,

welcome to the fray zeus.

[calimary]

158. Band rehearsal? Cool!

What kind of band?

I'd much rather hear about your band than hear about whatever bullshit Mango Munchkinhands has to say. Believe me.






"... this I can tell you."

[zeusdogmom]

177. A community wind band

100+ of us meet every Monday night during the school year. 3 or 4 formal concerts a year, plus co-concerts with the 8th grade middle school bands. Summer concerts at various local parks and senior living centers.

It is a great group. it is so nice to have an opportunity to continue to play after high schoo/college.

Mango Munchkinhands is still blathering ..... Sad.

[defacto7]

22. What's to watch?

[superpatriotman]

23. I have to watch

Every time he speaks live I'm there. His psychotic break is magnetic.

[mopinko]

59. yeah, i'll probably be watching just like people like to watch nascar races.

hoping to see the big crash and burn.

[mwooldri]

24. Not going out of my way...

... I'm sure I'll hear highlights on BBC world service radio.

[jalan48]

25. He's a bullshit artist. I have no interest in pretending it's real.

[marylandblue]

26. Can't stand to watch him read from a teleprompter

[BigMin28]

27. Can't stand a liar

He's the most bigly liar there is. Won't willingly listen to someone I know is lying.

[MontanaMama]

28. Can't submit myself

to the trauma.

[yallerdawg]

30. Primetime presidential address to the nation?

I want it straight from one end of the horse!

[The_Casual_Observer]

31. He's going to make a case for escalating the endless war in Afghanistan. Draw your own

conclusions as to why this is a big deal all of a sudden.

[liberal N proud]

32. I would only watch if he was resigning

[BobsYourUncle]

181. I'm with you there.

Meanwhile I have to peel an orange.

[AllaN01Bear]

34. im not. i dont have cable or over the air tv.

[Honeycombe8]

36. I've gotten to where I can't stand to hear his foghorn voice or see his bloated sagging pig face.

But maybe I'm being unkind.

[AtheistCrusader]

37. I'd rather stare at the fucking sun.

[saidsimplesimon]

113. rofl, thanks

[kairos12]

38. I will be watching the eclipse.

[fierywoman]

39. I don't watch tv ever.

[saidsimplesimon]

114. Welcome to the fray fierywoman.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

41. Jeez, no!

I'd rather lance an infected hemorrhoid with a plastic party fork. I NEVER watch that asshat! I hate his wimpy breathy tenor voice and his dumb hand gestures and especially his mouth that looks like a cat's butthole (something I am treated to every morning as it is).

Nope. I might clean the bathroom or something.

[smirkymonkey]

42. I can't stand the sight of him or the sound of his voice.

I'd rather stab myself in the head.

[Sunlei]

43. Republicans will allow this man to send thousands of Americans to war, to slaughter 1,000s of people

To Hell with this Republicans President and the Republican party who backs him.

[Eliot Rosewater]

45. It takes only 4 GOP senators to stop all this madness.

But they simply are not patriots, none of them.

[Sunlei]

46. sick of Republican party letting a Lunatic 'play president' so they can ramp-up a 'for profit' war..

AGAIN. So fucking anti-American to squander trillions of Federal dollars.

[Chipper Chat]

66. I've had a fantasy that Murkowski, Collins

And Flake simultaneously switch parties giving conto to the democrats. I'm not holding my breath tho.

[Eliot Rosewater]

44. Tonight?

Is the Phoenix madness tomorrow night?

You know, the one where he will pardon Arpaio, with Arpaio on stage with him, in an IN YOUR FACE way hoping to spark a civil war, that one.

[hamsterjill]

47. I can't stand to watch him.

On top of that, I simply refuse. He's gross.

[Butterflylady]

72. Amen

Ain't that the truth.

[hamsterjill]

87. Absolutely, it is!!!

Welcome to DU.

[rury]

48. Recced. Refuse to watch him ever!!

[liquid diamond]

49. I never listen

to that asshole's speeches or press conferences.

[lark]

50. He's totally unwatchable for me.

I just can't stand his incoherence, lies after lies, hatred of everything good and delight in war and killing and unconcern regarding America's service men. Actually, he shows zero concern about America or Americans, just lies about making us great when we were great long before he showed up and all he's done is make all our allies stand against us and gain the love of dictators near and far. He just wants to rally his base by going after them mooslems, that's 100% what this is about, covering up for being a Nazi-lover. Such a shame that this time proven RW ploy still works for 95% of the media and most Americans.

[bearssoapbox]

51. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Not going to watch.

I'll wait until there is a President to watch.

[tazmaniac]

52. I was hoping for aliens

to take cheeto head away during the eclipse but I guess that isn't going to happen I will wait until after the "speech" to have the news people translate it for me.

[saidsimplesimon]

116. Welcome to the fray tazmaniac

[sarge43]

53. Nope

I'm too old for that shit.

[TrogL]

54. I'll take the bullet and watch

[Capperdan]

55. Another reason to exercise my middle finger

[TeddyBear 1]

56. OH HELL NO!!!

...

[democrank]

57. He turns my stomach.

[murielm99]

58. I think he is talking because

the eclipse stole the attention he thinks is rightfully his. He just has to do something to upstage the moon and the sun.

[bdamomma]

168. Mother Nature

stole his thunder now back to killing our brave men and women. Why won't he take Russian advice and pull out. Russia did years ago.

[GreenEyedLefty]

60. I'll read the transcript later.

If I really want high (low) lights during his appearances I go to Twitter.

[Thor_MN]

133. Prediction: He will blame Afghanistan on Obama and say that he is forced to fix Obama's errors.

And no one from the media will point out that Afghanistan is Bush's war.

[GreenEyedLefty]

152. Agree... and he will be dubbed "presidential." Again.

[Liberal and Proud]

61. Can't stand him. Can't stand him. Can't stand him. Can't stand him. Can't stand him.

Also--can't stand him!

[HDSam]

62. Trump is the political equivalent

of a twenty car pile-up at a railroad crossing with an oncoming train.

It's impossible for me not to watch.

And since it is about Afghanistan (which will undoubtedly change almost immediately to something about him) and I'm an OEF Veteran, I want to see if bone-spur draft-deferment Donnie listens to his military advisors and to see how badly my brothers and sisters are screwed.

[JDC]

63. I'll wait for the summary. I'm tired of train wrecks

[Runningdawg]

64. Not watching

I will wait for the cliff-notes tweet version.

[nikatnyte]

65. Watching Trump raises my blood pressure to dangerous levels

Even photos of him do that. It's 10 times worse when he's speaking.

[TNNurse]

144. Have started an additional blood pressure medicine this year.

I am retired, am not in debt, have a happy marriage...my stress is limited. I blame Trump.

[apkhgp]

67. I would rather be here with all of you than put that guy on my television

One huge bag of wind.
Four years of this.

[Texin]

69. What's he on TV about anyway? Serious here. I don't know what it's for.

Not that it matters much to me anyway. He never tells the truth about anything anyway. Well except for the time last week when he made it crystal clear what a malignant narcissistic, racist Nazi he is and to whom his allegiances are to (except he forgot to throw the Russians in there). I don't watch the largest piece of walking shit anyway. I don't like how he stinks up my living area. I can't stand to hear his voice and if the POS is excerpted on an audio clip for playback on the radio, I turn the damn thing off. I don't want the POS stinking up my car.

[yuiyoshida]

70. He has nothing to sell me

Nor am I buying.

[TrishaJ]

71. You mean the darkness has just passed, and HE IS

STILL PRESIDENT????

[ATL Ebony]

73. Nope, not happening in this house.

[FakeNoose]

74. If he's going to resign tonight - I'll watch that!

Please say yes!

[Lotusflower70]

76. Fuck that guy

I refuse to give them ratings. He is an insecure idiot and he is a horrible speaker. Painful to listen to.

[bdamomma]

164. exactly I will not give him the satisfaction

of ratings, plus the eclipse today had all Americans out and not to see him either. ha!!

[Lotusflower70]

167. Reprieve

The eclipse was a nice break. It was much needed. I am taking the night off from being worried, sad or mad. I am enjoying Chinese food and relaxing.

[bdamomma]

170. everyone deserves

a break or even a mental health day. Enjoy your Chinese.

[Lotusflower70]

182. Thanks

It was a good day. From the comments on Twitter, it doesn't look like I missed anything.

[PearliePoo2]

78. I loathe that bastard. Not watching!

He's fucking nuts and he actually scares me.
REC

[Glorfindel]

79. K&R - can't stand to watch that creature or hear his voice.

I'll read about whatever gibberish dribbles out of his mouth-anus elsewhere. Or maybe right here.

[Equinox Moon]

80. FU! fake-president for hijacking a day the country is celebrating a rare natural phenonmenon.

I resent that he is doing this on the total eclipse day. FU! for that!

We know it is bad news and he is hijacking our collective-rare-special-event day. FU! fake president!

No. I won't be watching. No way!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

81. I have an allergy..

to everything tRump. Can't stand his voice and could do the rest of my life never seeing another image or him, any of his family, or cabinet.

Somebody needs to invent a totally tRump-free WEB browser.

[saidsimplesimon]

118. Welcome KY

There is no such thing as "clean coal", as you know. There are so many miners in my extended family who suffer.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

159. Thanks!

I'm a newbie here, but sadly, not at life, LOL. Clean coal makes as much sense as compassionate conservative. Spent a lot of time with the tail-end of coal's use crotch-deep in fly ash and the arsenic that goes with it. I really feel for the miners and I hope we work hard to help Appalachia and the other mining areas build a new economy, and help those like ones in your family that have suffered from black lung and serious injury. Trump's assertion that coal would brought back to its heyday was one of the most cruel things he said at his rallies.

[Heartstrings]

149. Welcome to du KY_EnviroGuy

And thanks for the rec!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

163. Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome, Heartstrings! DU has become a sort of second home and escape mechanism. I like the news aggregation and quality member commentary here, and I appreciate the hard work of the folks in the background keeping this thing alive and healthy. Probably won't comment much (I'm shy/introvert) but will spread the word to my good liberal friends.

[Heartstrings]

206. Comments not always necessary unless you feel inclined

Last edited Tue Aug 22, 2017, 12:08 PM - Edit history (1)

The "recs" help for exposure tho.....

Thanks again, you're among same/sane minded friends here!

[Rhiannon12866]

188. I feel exactly the same way!

During the campaign, whenever he came on the TV, I changed the channel. I couldn't wait for it to be over so I'd never have to see or hear from him again!

And isn't there some program out there that turns Trump's face into a cat?? Welcome to DU, KY_EnviroGuy! It's great to have you with us!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

189. I suffered for quite a while

Thanks, Rhiannon, nice to be here. One of my interests in retirement is most every day, I surf several great news sites around the globe out of healthy curiosity and the desire to continue learning. For several months after the election, I could hardly find a news site that was not plastered with photos of Trump. Even when going to a secondary article page, the darn thing still had side-bar photos of him. It was difficult to deal with, as I have mild depression. Thanks goodness, it's better now and not nearly a saturated. And, I now have DU for relief, along with good music!

[Rhiannon12866]

190. I sure know what you mean

It was almost like no one else was running - of either party. Any other candidate gave a speech and it didn't take long for it to become a sidebar - or be interrupted by talking points. But Trump was a ratings winner and anything he blurted out - or droned on about - was shown in its entirety! No wonder he got as many votes as he did - those who weren't paying attention barely knew that there were other candidates!

And I can sure sympathize, DU has become a refuge for me - and an amazing source of knowledge - since early 2003. And check out The Lounge for music, we have that, too. And plenty of humor to help us get through these tough days. I just hope you like cats, we have a lot of those, as well, LOL. I'm just glad you found us!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

193. Fear

I fear we now have a general public that has little interest in learning, but only wants to be entertained and sensationalized. Therefore, the media was only satisfying that need. Hillary was mostly serious business and offered little entertainment. I have a lot of relations here that when I try to engage in an intelligent discussion, I get that deer in the headlights look, and it really feels empty and lonely. Not sure what to do about it except to stay engaged and do our part to inform. I do, however, in general see a healthy desire in our progressive community to learn, discuss, dissect, dig and debate!

[Rhiannon12866]

194. Everyone I know who's paying attention is genuinely scared

We never know what he's going to come up with from one day to the next. And I've also read here that it's Trump, himself, who's the distraction - that behind the scenes his familiars are dismantling our country as we know it, eliminating environmental protections, alienating our closest allies, giveaways to our traditional adversaries, attempting to censure a free press, draining the treasury - and we already know about his efforts to eliminate affordable health care. The list goes on.

But one of the greatest things about DU is the depth of knowledge here. Folks here follow the news, we often see news posted here before it appears in the mainstream press. And we don't suffer fools gladly here - I trust (almost always ) what I read on DU. I think you'll find yourself among informed kindred spirits...

[KY_EnviroGuy]

195. Hope

If not already, I'm hoping someone will start a web site that only tracks this administration's negative actions on rules and regulations to help get this stuff out in the light. As an ex-environmental guy, it breaks my heart to see the EPA dismantled. I'm not seeing much at all on this in the MSM, but strangely enough see more in British papers like The Guardian.

Thanks again and have a great week!

[Rhiannon12866]

198. I know, me, too! That is the most pressing issue we can't afford to wait on!

Here are a couple of relevant posts, if you missed them:

[Heartstrings]

207. My "go to" is music as well!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

210. The effect is amazing

Even at my lowest, I'm amazed the effect certain cord structures have on me, especially from certain instrument combinations. I call them "feel good" cords and instinctively latch on to any production I hear containing them. Not being a technical musician, I have no clue what it is that comprises them, but I am certain that some producers and pro musicians use them on purpose. Regardless, I'm thankful we have music to tame and soothe us.

[Heartstrings]

211. Very therapeutic.....

[mahatmakanejeeves]

82. And miss a rerun of a rerun of a rerun of a rerun of "Walker, Texas Ranger"? Ha! NT

[asiliveandbreathe]

83. Heel NO! - I'm planning that time for cleaning the cat litter box...eom

[doc03]

84. I do not watch tRump more than the couple seconds it takes me to

reach for the remote.

[LuckyLib]

135. There are millions of us. Can't watch. Can't listen.

[drmeow]

85. Hell f**king NO!

[CousinIT]

86. I won't watch him ANY TIME.

Watching that asshole is like bathing in pure shit.

OH. HELL. NO.

Not ever. For any reason. At any time. Under any circumstance (unless it's watching be frogmarched into PRISON for the remainder of his goddamned life).

He's literally human trash. He's utterly useless and worse, damaging and toxic to everyone and everything including himself.

[DeeDeeNY]

95. Spot on!

[Buns_of_Fire]

88. I think there's a special on Unregulated Elephant Sex on at the same time.

I can't remember which channel, so I'll probably have to spend a good part of the evening looking for it. Or at least until his "speech" is over, whichever comes first.

[Bradical79]

89. I'll get a summary, watch some highlights/lowlights

Maybe read the transcript. Colbert will cover anything particilarly outrageous too.

[BumRushDaShow]

90. Watching him is worse than

going to Freeperville.

[Initech]

93. Or as Hank Hill puts it:

[BumRushDaShow]

141. +1

[Iggo]

91. I never do. (n/t)

[Initech]

92. Fucking hell no!!!

[blogslut]

94. I might.

Just because I want to watch how he behaves now that he's seeing spots everywhere.

[Vinca]

97. OMG - the teleprompter - he'll have us at war with Uzbekistan.

[No Vested Interest]

96. Did you notice how pleasant it was today to not have to hear about "that man"

while all the nation's attention was on the solar eclipse?
So peaceful.
I would be content to never hear his name again.

[lunatica]

98. That hand gesture when he touches his forefinger and thumb

with his pinkie so delicately sticking out makes me crazy. I want to kick the TV screen when I see him do it.

[Tanuki]

115. Pulling imaginary flags out of his nose

https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+flags+nose&client=ms-android-att-us&source=android-browser&prmd=sniv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiu1pXTk-nVAhXowlQKHZ1kCYAQ_AUICygD&biw=360&bih=512

[lunatica]

122. Lol!

Now that's what I'll think of every time he does that. Much better to laugh at his gestures!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

99. wots tv?

[Miles Archer]

103. I'll settle for the recap.

Kelly and Mattis have been coaching him. Let's see if hr goes off script.

[PasadenaTrudy]

105. I haven't watched him once yet..

Not going to start now.

[rockfordfile]

106. No. Trump is a disgrace to our country.

[MoonRiver]

108. Won't be watching.

I saw a total eclipse of the sun today, and do not want that vile turd to ruin my day.

[Blue_Tires]

109. I have never, EVER ever ever ever

watched Trump do anything on TV (even back when he was just plain old Celebrity Trump), so why would I start now?

[Ninga]

110. I've seen enough to last a life time. Nt

[Bladewire]

111. I mute the TV when he's on now as it is. Can't watch.

[HuskyOffset]

117. I'm taking a big Trump tonight

so I'm busy.

[PatSeg]

119. The media will be playing clips of his speech

nonstop all week. I'll just wait for the abridged version, too painful to watch the whole live.

Does anyone have any idea where Trump got all those weird hand gestures? They are bizarre and some are oddly disturbing, like he has a cramp in his hand.

[bythebayou]

120. Will not watch.

Can't watch or listen to the man. No, No, No.

[rzemanfl]

130. Welcome to posting at DU. n/t

[gopiscrap]

212. welcome to DU

[wss2001]

121. Mute button

Thank God for the mute button I use it all the time on Trump, wouldn't be able to get through watching MSNBC without it!

[DFW]

123. At 3:00 AM? Not likely!

Besides, after staring at the sun for so long, he'll probably have trouble reading his speech in the first place, go off script, and blame the resurgence of the Taliban on "Crooked Hillary" and her emails.

** "Crooked Hillary and the Emails" I predict will be the name of the next successful all-female punk group.

[Soxfan58]

124. If he's talking

He's lying

[Best_man23]

126. Nope

Would rather watch a test pattern.

[secondwind]

127. Won't be watching

[nancy1942]

128. Certainly not

[bluescribbler]

129. I think I need to reorganize my sock drawer.

[Binkie The Clown]

131. Send me a thousand dollars to pay me to watch it, and I'll tell you I did.

(But I won't, really)

[llmart]

132. I never watch him on TV

Not from the start. Flip the channel as fast as I can.

I can't stomach looking at that ugly person.

[shenmue]

134. Watching baseball

[bluestarone]

136. nope

not this kid either

[NastyRiffraff]

137. His voice literally makes me nauseous

I try to avoid him at all times.

[gilbert sullivan]

138. I plan to watch.

How can anyone hope to deal with a probable adversary if they refuse to listen to what he is saying?

143. Will all the pundits

....(like Van) be out there saying, "Tonight Trump became Presidential".

They all seem to love war and tough talk.

[TNNurse]

145. Mute the TV when he is on the news.

Will not willingly look or listen.

[LAS14]

There's no point to listening to anything he says.

[WinstonSmith4740]

173. I just can't.

He literally turns my stomach when he speaks. Between the fact that I know he's lying, his gesturing, and that damn "coke sniff" and air sucking...I just can't watch him. I guess he's supposed to announce an increase of troops to Afghanistan...wonder how long it'll take him to deny he ever said we should get out.

[heaven05]

175. sending more

americans into harms way because he, kelly, the pentagon want to win in that country...history shows them to be the highest degree of fools and just plain RW war mongers with a leader that has to get some kind of major distraction going because of his criminal and treasonous activities....and that goes for all the rest of those clowns in his family or not administering this country from the WH.

Lord Dampnut can go clean portaloos with that sphincter apparatus stuck on his face.
