33. By NOT watching him

Tue Sep 10, 2024, 02:27 PM

Sep 2024

I will not watch the "debate." The whole idea of it is a farce, and old man Trump is SO obnoxious that I become physically ill when listening to him or seeing him. My blood pressure rises, my stomach gets upset, and my cave man tendencies to beat him over the head repeatedly with a club becomes irresistible.
I honestly have never understood how anyone could stand anything about this piece of human scum. The 78-year-old nut case is repulsive in every imaginable way.
