18. I am guilty of clicking on Meidas Touch every night

Sat Jul 11, 2026, 11:46 AM

Yesterday

Whenever I see the headline "Trump Collapses" or "Trump Melts Down" I click, hoping that this is finally "it." It never is of course and I sit thru 15 minutes of built-up, pleas for clicks, and irrelevancies. If I knew how, I would block it from my suggested videos. It would certainly save me a lot of time and frustration. I will give some of these a try, but I usually watch on my Roku TV.
