Nor will I watch any network TV or news only shows I recorded on my DVR or pull out those old DVDs gaining dust on my shelves. Totally disconnect from watching the end of democracy in the US and protest that an agent of Satan hate taking over our country.

That said A LOT COULD HAPPEN I the next 2 months. Just sayin.
