This Is The Reason I Limit My Cable News Viewing

1. Agree

It sickens me to see that magat’s ugly face or hear his whiny voice. He’s a wretched, rotten, orange shitstain, and a curse on humanity.

[Scarsdale]

12. I agree.

He is REPULSIVE. He struts around as though he is a king. Rambles on and on about nothing. The gop must be so proud of themselves, getting this big know nothing into the WH, with Putin's help of course. He has just about destroyed the government of this country.

2. LOL! paying $90+ Per Month is the Reason I Don't Have Cable TV

20 years ago I paid $30 a month for 100+ channels now it is $90 a month for 40 channels. No thank you!

I watch free over the air TV.

[JimGinPA]

3. Yeah, I Stream Now...

But MSNBC is still a cable network.

[LeftInTX]

26. Me too

I watch my ROKU: CBSN streams and it reminds me of the way CNN used to be in the early 80's.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

4. I don't even have conventional TV or cable.

When I'm listening to NPR and they start to play a clip of him speaking, I quickly switch to another station until I think he's done.

Just another very good reason not to have cable.

5. Same with me and I can't stand the sound of his whiny voice, either!

During the campaign, I took to watching old shows like Murder, She Wrote since I just couldn't stand to see or hear him. I couldn't wait for the campaign to be over so I could start watching news again - regular news, that is - like it used to be - important events going on in this country and the rest of the world! Though I often tune in to Nicolle Wallace in the afternoon since she makes a point of not actually showing him!

6. Yeah, but hitting the mute button has become very rewarding!

Impeach AND Indict!

[shanti]

22. True

my mute button is getting a beating.

[B Stieg]

24. I'll mutter, "I can shut you up!" at the screen whenever I get to shut off Don the Con!

[kairos12]

7. I hold a fork up and look through it so

it looks like he’s in jail.

[MyOwnPeace]

8. GOOD ONE!!!!!!

[JimGinPA]

21. LOL!

[Backseat Driver]

28. Very creative! Gonna try it - sure beats hanging a spoon on one's nose.

[Cha]

9. I was looking for that the other day! I don't have a tv..

but I still see too much of his assface on DU.



Thanks, JimGinPA

10. I limit mine because I cannot stand the talking heads yelling at me

It's mostly just infotainment to fill airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed.

[FakeNoose]

11. For me it's not the face, it's the voice

Now that I think about it, it's really both!

The cable news stations have seen that people shut off their TVs (or switch channels) when they show too much of ass-face. So guess what? They're cutting way back on the free airtime they give him.

[Soxfan58]

13. I cant stand

That horrible lying voice. Nothing in my life has ever triggered rage more than him.

[gademocrat7]

14. We have a moratorium on the orange buffoon.

Not going to listen to his toxic rhetoric.

[LittleGirl]

15. I look away

And mute. I read enough news that I already read what the buffoon has said so I can either mute during the clip or fast forward. Can’t stand him anymore!

[BumRushDaShow]

16. YES YES!!

Can't listen to that voice anymore either!!!

[smirkymonkey]

17. +1000

Ugh! The sight of his hideous face and the sound of his voice just fills me with rage.

[Perseus]

18. I have tweeted Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Lawrence O'Donnell, etc

About this...Why do they have to show the monster's face? we all know how disgusting he looks, please spare us.

We all need to let them know that showing the creature doesn't enhance the news, on the contrary, they run with the possibility that people will switch channels just to avoid throwing up.

[treestar]

19. Yes, I rather read what he said

I put up with clips of him only with people who are setting him up to make fun of him, like Stephen C. Rachel doesn't do many; it seems to me she reads transcripts of what he and others say.

[tman]

20. I Haven't heard Trumps voice in over a year.

Switched off cable in late 2016.

Great for mental and physical health.

[maxsolomon]

23. Lately I've been thinking about the portraits of Dictators that hang in people's homes.

Like Stalin, or one of the Kims, or Mao. Or the portraits of the Pope or Kennedy that I remember from my youth. They are always there, reminding you of their power, your place, and that Big Brother is watching.

I realized that President Sociopath has a achieved that same trick through the Tee Vee.

[LeftInTX]

25. I can't stand all the commercials

I use turn watch CBSN on my ROKU.
Al Jazzera is also good.

It's pretty quiet over there and the commercials are mostly PSA types. There is also much less hype.

(I also ditched cable, but I hadn't watched for quiet awhile before I ditched it)

27. If I want to see a baboon's ass, I go to the national Zoo.

[llmart]

30. DUzy!

That's how I feel about him.

[redstatebluegirl]

29. I am wearing out the mute button.
