I find it very triggering as well. Very anxiety inducing. I was really struggling with all the videos before the election. I was beyond relieved when Ben stopped showing him.
So...let's make the best of it. Hang out with loved ones and fun friends, take a class, enjoy a hobby, make art and/or visit museums, galleries, historical places, visit the Great Outdoors, renovate your home space, grow a garden....I'm making a 4-year list of activities for myself. Stay busy, stay happy.
I am quite busy but like your idea for a 4 year list of activities. I want to get back to my piano and guitar playing, I will follow your idea. Thank you.
I don't trust most network news after they fashioned Trump as a meaningful candidate & then supported his lies & bullshit cause they made money honey. It was a eye opening lesson of just how corrupted those networks really are. MSNBC CNN, of course I'm a never Fox'r .
I agree totally with your policy of not broadcasting the inauguration! Everything about the Orange monster sickens and horrifies me. Sticks to the policy!!
Whenever I am really upset with someone or something, I immediately start cleaning and purging. No one needs a bunch of superfluous stuff hanging around.
Lucky you! It's snowing in Michigan. I waited to take down my Christmas decorations so I would have something time consuming to do on 1/20/25. I will be playing music loudly and drinking some Jack & Diet too.
I’m buying everything that I need now before the clown tariffs hit. Just bought a Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. Love it! 2022 Certified used, 12k miles, $27k. Great on gas!
I'm on the west coast so it will still be morning, but I'll have a glass of Prosecco with my lunch to celebrate No TV, No Streaming, a day of No tRump!
I concur with you. Stick to your guns Meidastouch. Not covering the inauguration may lose a few people. That is a small sacrifice to make for calling out the grifter and thief by giving him and his enablers the 2 finger salute! (🖕🖕) Trump thrives on attention.
I applaud your decision to refrain from showing the inauguration. If I wanted to see it, I could watch it many places, I would prefer to ignore it completely. Thank you for making this a safe space.
MAGA MIKE has decided that flags will not be flown at half mast for Satan's shitshow. What a disgrace! Jimmy would be proud of us flying them in distress, because we are!
Good decision. Fuck that guy. Keep up the great work!
Who wants to watch the circle jerk inauguration?! Not me. My guess is many will not. Just hearing his voice makes me physically ill.
Agreed! Everything about him is repulsive.
I have to agree with you I can't stand to look at him and listening to him makes me sick to my stomach. And goes for most of the Republican Party.
I absolutely love your comment. Ty
You are NOT alone!
Me too. And he is repulsive.
I agree 100%
I agree I can’t listen to them or look at them without vomiting a little in my mouth
Omg… can I steal ‘circle jerk inauguation’ ?!!! It’s perfection!
If you notice, most of his people are ugly just like him. I believe it comes from within, a reflection of their disgusting selves.
Totally! Makes me want to SCREAM 😱
And thank you, too, for not playing recordings of him speaking but only reading the relevant words before making sensible comments on it.
I find it very triggering as well. Very anxiety inducing. I was really struggling with all the videos before the election. I was beyond relieved when Ben stopped showing him.
💯 me too!!
Yup, grateful for this decision. As is, I already block EVERYTHING showing this despicable deplorable (yes, deplorable)!
Same here. I have a visceral reaction to hearing his voice and seeing him.
Me too! If I do see his orange face or hear his voice my anxiety level immediately goes way up!
Yup. Same. :(
It’s going to be a rough and long 4 years.
So...let's make the best of it.

Margaret, I like the way you think! All the best!
I'm working through my long-ignored vinyl albums and CDs. Much easier on my psyche!
Get a Spin Clean record cleaner. Many good YOUTUBE videos on how to fix old record covers........buy some new sleaves and plastic covers.......
Once you start back into vinal....there is no going back!!!
Sadly in a week moment, I gave all my collection away. Decades of vinyl and cassettes.....Still grieving
Start a new one....HIt garage sales..used record shops...( use a record cleaner on them and they sound so much better than CDs!!)
Before you know it......you grieving will be long gone.
Great idea, I still have around 500 albums and nearly the same with cd’s. Thanks for the reminder.
Enjoy! It's so much better than just having them take up space, and reminds me that I was once young.
That's what I have done, too. No TV, etc. Books, guitars & Home repairs.
I am quite busy but like your idea for a 4 year list of activities. I want to get back to my piano and guitar playing, I will follow your idea. Thank you.
I just started back on piano after years of not playing and for something new.....learning how to sketch.
I feel your pain! Even MSNBC somehow can't resist showing video clips of the Orange One. My visceral reactions: hit mute, switch channels.
I don't trust most network news after they fashioned Trump as a meaningful candidate & then supported his lies & bullshit cause they made money honey. It was a eye opening lesson of just how corrupted those networks really are. MSNBC CNN, of course I'm a never Fox'r .
Me too, I do the same thing. Whenever I hear his voice, I press mute and purposely change the channel.
Thank goodness for the Mute button.. Vomit bag time. Resistance is power. Meidas Mighty strong ✔️
You know that feeling you get right before you vomit? That's what I feel when I see a picture or hear his wheezy, whiny voice. 🤮
Great and accurate comparison!
The gag reflex
My blood pressure spikes and heart breaks all over again 💔😰
I hear ya.
I am the same way. He is a POS! Not my president!
Truer words were never spoken!
I agree totally with your policy of not broadcasting the inauguration! Everything about the Orange monster sickens and horrifies me. Sticks to the policy!!

Too bad we couldn't meet up for MLK Jr day.
I totally agree. He should be ignored as much as possible and yet, brought to bear for his illegal and dangerous attempts at governing.
May he die an early ignominious death.
His voice and facial expressions literally, and I do mean literally, make my stomach hurt. And I can feel my blood pressure rise.
Thank you for supporting democracy
I agree 100%! FUCK that guy and the GOP along with him! I’ll be mowing my lawn rather than watching those scumbags!
Jeez. Lucky you being able to mow your lawn. Up in Buffalo we have snow.
We are in the 60s in my neighborhood! Better to make a snowman than to watch the Trump ShitShow!
Up here in Northern Ontario we're shovelling snow!
In BC it’s snow we’ll not on the coast.
hello Ontario
No snow in Vancouver but will be in the beautiful mountains to get my fill of the white stuff
Unfortunately here in the US we are shoveling nasty brown stuff. I'll take snow.
I am still buried in snow in KY. I wish I could mow! LOL!
Here in Lexington we have snow with a sheet of ice under it!
It's yucky out for sure. We got about a foot of snow out here in rural eastern KY.
I love Lexington. Lived there for a short time.
Wish we did! Mid Jan and only light patches of snow in So Maine. :-( I'll be un-subscribing from the "bros" platforms. :-)
Yeah, but the pond and lake ice is great this year!!! This is the year to find a friend with an ice boat!
Near by Lake Onalaska is a ice boater's dream - smooth and clear as glass. I'm sure the races will begin soon....
Ditto and boycotting a few places. In anticipation of his lovely tariffs, wood is very expensive AGAIN. He sucks!
Then shovel your driveway... 😊
Can't break the ice up.
Then blame it to the democrats.... the MAGA cultists do this every day. 😐
It was 72 here in Cali today, sorry.
I'll most likely be doing some housecleaning which I absolutely hate!
Yah, but don’t you hate the idea of watching t-rump being crowned king even worse?

I like Cown Royal and I need to buy a bottle before the tariffs kick in.
I’m buying everything that I need now before the clown tariffs hit. Just bought a Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. Love it! 2022 Certified used, 12k miles, $27k. Great on gas!
Same here.... just traded for a 100% electric Chevrolet Equinox.... Not one dime to the Tesla loser Musk!!!!
I had one of those when there were no cars. Do you like it?
And the tax credit is still available!
Patty, good for you!! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Hope I can get something close to your deal. WOW.
Sounds good
Maybe several bottles, Steven!
We'll see a 1.5 liter is 60 bucks.
Cheaper than therapy. Or repairing damage from banging your head on the wall.
Use a brick wall less damage.. Lol
Maybe a padded cell...?
That does less damage to the person.
But what is the point of banging your head against a wall if it does no damage?
No such thing as "Dry January" for a few looooooong years.
Sounds great! That’s a great plan! Go easy on the Jack! It’s gonna be a long 4 years!
I'm on the west coast so it will still be morning, but I'll have a glass of Prosecco with my lunch to celebrate No TV, No Streaming, a day of No tRump!
I found it on Carvana. And Hyundai is a huge contributor to our party💙. So I am loyal to them forever!
Now that’s the spirit. If I was near you instead of Alberta I would join you!
Ugh Trade places?? You shovel snow? I mow your lawn!
Sorry, I’m allergic to snow!😜
Me too 🤣…….but…..
I live in Hawaii- will be walking on the beach!
Coleman, I couldn’t have said it better!
Thank you for your positive decision not to give the orange clown anymore screen time. I appreciate you and your ethical and always factual content.
Thank you Coleman,
I concur with you. Stick to your guns Meidastouch. Not covering the inauguration may lose a few people. That is a small sacrifice to make for calling out the grifter and thief by giving him and his enablers the 2 finger salute! (🖕🖕) Trump thrives on attention.

This must be a good decision, because I had a troll insult me and the network. Didn’t engage, just ignored and laughed at the weirdo.
Will be occupied upgrading my subscription to MT and support for the MM.
I wonder if Jimmy Carter would approve of the flag being flown upside down?
............that happens when a country is in distress........?????
MAGA MIKE has decided that flags will not be flown at half mast for Satan's shitshow. What a disgrace! Jimmy would be proud of us flying them in distress, because we are!
Satans Shitshow........right on.
There should be a few distress flags flying at the Peoples Marches this weekend.
Toronto Ontario has a solidarity march planned.
Have flags made up with “Thank you Jimmy Carter !” ♥️We love you♥️ and put them out until summer’s end.
I’m hoping for something like July occurs.
