Pledge Here To Not Watch Any Trump Inaugural Events....

[global1]

I will not watch any. Will you?

There are much more enjoyable things to do. I will be making a lamp.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I'd rather drink bleach.

[underpants]

13. I'm smoking bleach

Top THAT!

[yuiyoshida]

58. maybe I will WATCH BLEACH....

[WhiteTara]

2. Be sure and leave the TV on!

Just make sure that you aren't on a channel that will carry the abomination...the ratings companies will show that as a negative for the OrangeAnus.

Don't forget that Bill Maher will be back on HBO that night with a rousing season premiere of anti-Drumpf.

[blue neen]

24. I saw that Cher posted about having your TV on, then turning it off when the Groper in Chief's

Inabomination starts. Is that correct?

[WhiteTara]

26. Well, if the set is off, then it will be counted as neutral

and won't be a negative, so tune to something else.

[blue neen]

34. Okay.

Thanks.

[cwydro]

40. Unless you're a Nielsen family,

no one knows what you're watching.

[Maru Kitteh]

108. That's no longer true! Those with Dish network now have their data counted as well

Neilson bought the rights to harvest data from Dish networks sets.

[pangaia]

3. Why would I? :)

Anyway, I'll be at the Mariinsky Theater Concert Hall in St Petersburg watching an operatic version of Dostoevsky's THE IDIOT !

[5X]

8. so u r watching..:) n/t

[pangaia]

11. You bet....

And the next night.. Borodin's PRINCE IGOR.

[MFM008]

106. and all networks here

will also be broadcasting "THE IDIOT".............................

[lunatica]

4. I sure as hell won't watch

But I do want to know if anything good happens, like lightning striking him and his family down during the swearing in. I'll be keeping track on DU.

[MANative]

28. I'm rather of fan of the premise of Keither Sutherland's latest TV show.

[Upthevibe]

5. I will be going to the Self Realization Fellowship Center in Los Angeles....

This place is beautiful. There's a lake and a lot of areas in which to meditate. I would be SHOCKED if any DU'er is going to watch. I think this is a good thread. I'd like to hear what folks are doing.

[MFM008]

107. Ill be watching

maybe Ancient Aliens.................
anything else.

[Crunchy Frog]

6. You'd have to tie me to the chair

And pry my eyes open.

We're going to watch Sound of Music.

[GP6971]

7. We'll have the international

channels on and following on DU.

[OldHippieChick]

9. I have to

wash my hair

[MurrayDelph]

10. Either Netflix or Amazon Prime (I can't remember which)

has The American President available to watch for free.

[lisa58]

12. No Pledge Necessary....

I'm sure my doctor wouldn't allow it...

[leftyladyfrommo]

14. I don't have a TV

But I wouldn't watch it anyway. I can't stand to see his face.

[GoCubsGo]

15. No pledge needed.

I don't enjoy vomiting. Just the mere thought thought that this filthy, treasonous con artist and his sleazy, creepy-ass family will be allowed anywhere near the White House already makes me want to puke bucket-loads.

[smirkymonkey]

16. Never.

No way.

[ecstatic]

17. Everyone remember to cancel any scheduled DVR recordings

Especially if they are cable news shows. Most non-cable shows will be preempted by inauguration coverage, so you should cancel those too.

[underpants]

18. My plans for the 20th

Breakfast for my daughter
See her and my wife off to the school bus and work
Remove the American flag that always flies on our front porch
Dress in black
Go to work
At noon, walk outside and spit on the ground
Have lunch
Go back to work helping blind people get jobs

[catbyte]

19. Are you kidding? My tv has been permanently tuned to the classical music channel since 11/9

No lie.

[janx]

20. If eggs start flying

the way they did with W, I might have to take a peek.

[global1]

57. If Trump Knows That Eggs Thrown At Him Will Get People To Watch....

he'll probably pay someone to throw eggs at him just for the ratings.

Don't be tempted to watch. I'm sure you'll find it on YouTube later in the day.

[janx]

62. I'm not going to watch it as it happens.

I booted cable/satellite years ago and never looked back. Friday will be a very busy work day for me anyway.

[Initech]

21. I hope to be out marching in the streets.

[Maru Kitteh]

109. I'm so jealous of those who get to march. I would love to

can't afford it right now.



Do me a favor and say something REALLY OFFENSIVE for me? I don't care what. Just shout something awful at the bastard and say "that's for MARU KITTEH!"

[Eliot Rosewater]

22. Absolutely not.

[blue neen]

23. I'll be watching paint dry.

Far more enjoyable and far less scary than watching the downfall of our democracy.

[Jacob Boehme]

25. I'll be listening to the blues at a therapeutic volume....

.... that will bulge windows, while working on cars in my garage.

And for one day at least, forget that a buffoon of the first-order is being installed in the Oval Office under protest by millions.

[MANative]

27. Not a single second of it. Nope. MUST clean my closets that day...

a chore that I generally avoid like the plague. Highly pleasurable in comparison to seeing tRump prepare to destroy everything this country has created in 230 years.

[meadowlark5]

29. No pledge needed

I never planned on watching that steaming pile of shit inauguration.

I think Bill Maher is back from winter break that night. I'll tune in there and then that concert if it's streamed or broadcast somewhere.

[skylucy]

30. I won't watch a minute of it.

[get the red out]

31. Oh HELL NO!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

32. Pledged!

[underthematrix]

33. My household will go completely silent - all electronic devices and smartphones

will be off. We will not drive or use public transportation or make any purchases on or offline

I will be finishing a 3000 piece puzzle.

My husband and I will be doing a marathon Bible study of Old Testament books

[montana_hazeleyes]

65. That's what we need to save Us!

A "Day The Earth Stood Still" scenario. We need Gort et al to show up.


Barring that, no way would I watch it. I do want to hear about what happens though.

[underthematrix]

71. Well for me, we can turn on everything on Jan 21st at 12:01am

I just want to see pics and video of the Obamas which there will be a lot at theobamadiary.com As a matter of fact I believe that will be the last day of the diary. They will also provide info on all the other happenings. Look this is not going to be easy but I have to take a stand even if it feels like quitting cigarettes cold turkey.

I'm standing with Rep John Lewis and all we have accomplished the last 75 years.

[montana_hazeleyes]

91. That's really good.

Wow a 3000 piece puzzle! I just love jigsaw puzzles. It is great therapy to me. The most I've done is 1500. I haven't done one in a long time and you gave me the idea to start one that day.

I have them everywhere, but have let things get in the way of doing them. I need this for depression and anxiety. It really helps. I always save mine when finished.

Sorry for going off topic, but it's good to be reminded of helpful things during this terrible time.

[underthematrix]

112. I've been looking for this reply because I got so excited when

you shared that you're also a puzzler. I love love jigsaw puzzles and puzzlers

My puzzle is a Ravensburger country cottage scene with a beautiful french country cottage, a river, ducks, a cat, walkways, steps, and lots and of green foliage and flowers.

I love to talk about jigsaw puzzles.

[frogmarch]

35. It goes without pledging

that me and mine won't be watching any.

[longship]

36. No worries here! nt

[NightWatcher]

37. But what if someone has constructed an excrement catapult and has a ton of rancid horseshit...

aimed at the parade route?

I'm not missing that.

[Warpy]

39. Oh, please.

That will be on You Tube within an hour.

[janx]

55. haha

When I mentioned the eggs, I only meant watching in hindsight.

[Warpy]

38. I'd rather get my eyeballs pierced

I'll be watching Star Trek reruns on BBC A if TCM is playing the shit movies Mankewicz seems to favor, channeling his inner Holden Caulfield. Star Trek says we survived the Republican maladministrations, televangelists, corporate oligarchs, and the rest of the toxic political stew we're in.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

54. Even if it's the Star Trek Voyager episode called Threshold...

in which Captain Janeway and a lieutenant transform into these creatures after they break Warp 10 in a spaceship... somehow?

[Warpy]

64. Yeah, that one was pretty dumb. They'd run out of plot lines, obviously

but these are the original, clunky Cap'n Jerk and Mr. Crock shows with the flip phones.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

66. I prefer the original, even when the plots were poor.

[BumRushDaShow]

68. ROFLMAO

If I remember correctly, I think Janeway and Paris "mated" when they were like that too (and had offspring that they left behind).

[Buckeye_Democrat]

70. Yeah, they did!

Poor little orphaned whatever-they-were!

[BumRushDaShow]

72. Salamanders

at least that's what most of us called the de-evolved creatures that they became.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

79. I somehow forgot the mating/offspring part...

until you reminded me, but the memory came back and truly made me laugh out loud!

I can't believe I forgot that part because it was another moment when I saw it years ago.

[Vinca]

41. I can't make the pledge because I wouldn't miss seeing the massive protests that are sure

to happen on the day. I had a great idea for one, but I would be in no position to carry it out. At the moment he takes the oath have the Russian national anthem blared across the crowd.

[Cirque du So-What]

42. You have my word

If something really stupid or embarrassing to Cheeto Benito happens, however, I'll watch it on some online venue afterward.

[kennetha]

43. On the graves of all my forbears, and in the name of democracy

and all things decent and true, I pledge not only that I will not watch on Inauguration day, but that I will resist him with every fiber of my being from this day forward!

[malaise]

44. I intend to watch his speech - nothing else

I have to watch that

[doc03]

45. The only way I will turn it on is if there is some extraordinary event

occurs during the Inauguration.

[TicaTwo]

46. I made the decision

not to watch this right after the electoral college voted IT in.

[Hawaii Hiker]

47. I won't watch one second of it

To be honest, I've barely watched any political shows since election day...

Alot more Netflix in 2017

[femmocrat]

48. I will be packing to attend the Women's March.

We are leaving at 4:30 a.m., so I need to get to sleep early!

Don't forget to tweet "YOU'RE FIRED" to drumpf at noon.

[Crunchy Frog]

49. Some brave DUer should agree to take a bullet for the team

And watch it, just to be able to tell the rest of us what's going on.

[janx]

69. You know somebody will...

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

50. I'm going to watch all of it.

You never know what will happen. It's going to be unpresidented!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

61. Me too.

I'll almost surely be disappointed, but there's various kinds of "drama" that could unfold.

[janx]

74. ...

[CherokeeDem]

51. For the first time....

since I was old enough to understand, I will not watch the inaugural events or the State of the Union address.

Cannot stand the thought of this man as President!

[Salviati]

52. Not a goddamn problem, wasn't planning to anyway.

I will be observing the day by dressing in black.

[gademocrat7]

53. I will ignore the debacle.

[GreenEyedLefty]

59. No, although the TV in our break room is in my line of sight from where I work.

I will keep my eyes averted.

[JPPaverage]

60. I would rather stick hot needles in my eyes

than watch anything associated with that...event. I'm sure there must some sporting events or movies or SpongeBob cartoons or something on the tv that we can watch instead.

[Laffy Kat]

63. Would rather stick needles in my eyes. nt

[maveric]

67. Pledging n/t

[chowder66]

73. I will not witness the degradation of the most powerful office in the U.S. nt

[radical noodle]

75. No problem

I have no intention of watching it.

[ananda]

76. I'd rather watch a flower grow.

..

[Augiedog]

77. Gonna spend my time cleaning up dog poop. Saving up just for the event

[Stonepounder]

78. I'm counting the Women's March on Saturday as an 'inaugural event' and will be watching!

[tavernier]

80. Easiest pledge I ever made.

I also pledge never to walk across burning coals or cross the turnpike in Miami during rush hour.

Some pledges are just common sense.

[il_lilac]

81. Not a chance

I wonder if NPR is safe to listen to?

[BadgerMom]

82. Easy pledge to make

and keep. 👍🏼

[Progressive dog]

83. I'll make that pledge. nt

[Boomerproud]

84. Easiest pledge I've ever taken.

I will be doing errands all day. No way will I watch a second of this farce.

[Duppers]

85. Absolutely!

[northoftheborder]

86. I pledge to watch nada - no swearing in - no parade - no dancing

nor the crummy entertainers. Good idea to cancel automatic recording - that will be preempted anyway, I suppose. I intend to really go after my laundry-craft-sewing-collection of photos, general purpose all the time "messy" room and get it ready for new projects (while listening to music.) C-Span, NPR and PBS will also not be on. I will wear black and treat it as a day of mourning.

[CanonRay]

87. I'd rather sit on a sharp stick.

[SargeXXX]

88. We need a nationwide "Mass Die-In Protest" when Trump puts his tiny hand on the Bible.

We need a nationwide "Mass Die-In Protest".

I'd love to see colleges, high schools, workplaces, highways.. everywhere stage a Mass Die In protest.

American Democracy dies the moment Trump puts his tiny hand on the Bible.

How can we organize this?

[elfin]

89. NOt gonna - no way

Plans for that day booked with congenial friends - liberal drinking included, with safe transport arranged. Wearing Obama, Russ, and Hillary gear deep in "Walkersha" county in Wisconsin.

[Bob Loblaw]

90. DIY root canal

on my agenda instead.

[AwakeAtLast]

92. The only ones I've ever watched was Obama's

Wouldn't watch W's, too busy working for Clinton's.

My TV will be on a channel that's not broadcasting it.

[madokie]

93. I can't hardly look at a picture of the anus mouth

mutherfuker let alone watch his ignorguration

[democratisphere]

94. I may watch with a bottle of tequila, shot glass and bag of lemons

to quell the pain. Might even throw the squeezed lemons at the television screen.

[Cracklin Charlie]

95. Easy.

I wouldn't dream of it.

[Gothmog]

96. I was already planning on boycotting these events

[SteamAddict]

97. Definitely not

And no one in my family will be watching either.

[pansypoo53219]

98. only thru the daily show or colbert show filters.

[Warren DeMontague]

99. I'm sorry, but ignoring him won't make him go away. Quantum Mechanics doesn't work that way.

I'll probably read a transcript of his speech, doubt I could sit through watching it.

But... seriously, and no offense intended- but what exactly is this supposed to accomplish?

[demigoddess]

100. +1, I will be ignoring him, big time.

[Jane Austin]

101. That's easy.

To see the Obamas on the same dias as the Trumps would make me so sad and angry I might not ever get over it.

[NYFlip]

103. I'm not watching

[pdxflyboy]

104. FUCK NO.....NEVER!!!!!!

[Lifelong Protester]

105. I have some housecleaning to do instead.

Then maybe a closet to clean out.

I will have the TV on to classic rock.

[pablo_marmol]

110. I'm confused.

Why would anyone need to "pledge" not to engage in a nauseating activity? Makes no sense to me.

[Freddie]

111. Kids TV and movies all day

Taking the day off work to watch my granddaughter as her school is closed for a teacher inservice day.
I think Spongebob Squarepants will be showing at speech time.
