Twitter has a hashtag #TrumpBlackout trending, so I clicked on it

People have muted all tweets containing the word "Trump" for 24 hours as a break from the bullshit, so any tweets including that name does not show up on their feed. I went into settings and muted all trump permutations for 24 hours. So far, it's been awesome. I just may click the "forever" option.

Considering the idiocy trump tweets every day, his supporters penchant for rationalizing his loony incoherence as wisdom, and and given the media's daily, almost enabling behavior, two or three weekend a month I just kinda tune out of the whole mess and do... well, anything else.

It's nice. I mean, it's really nice.
