Compared to other televised political moments of historical importance, it’s a fairly weak showing. In 2018, the testimony of Christine Blasey Ford and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh drew an audience of 20.4 million on the six broadcast networks.

Only the rabidly insane, terminally ill TDS Whackos are wasting their time watching this clown show. I’m working.

I had a medical appointment yesterday, and in the waiting area they had this s**t show on, with Schiff droning and Lofgren moaning. It was worth noting that of everyone in the waiting area, only one couple appeared to be even sort of/kind of watching it (I had my back to the television). As a matter of fact, it seemed as it people were instinctively spread out in the hinterlands in order to avoid the spectacle.

Going to watch the Repubs sessions on Saturday. Betting that CNN, MSNBC and the Alphabets don’t cover the sessions.

Americans would rather stick a fork in their eye than watch hours of Adam Schiff droning on. Fixed the headline for them

By day #7, I expect them to hit the 5-million point, and probably average between 4 and 5 million for the remainder of the episode. It’s hard for me to even imagine that they will hit 17 work-days at this point. Most of the Senators will be burned out by the middle of next week.

But I’ll add this...all of us have internet capability and could easily watch via YouTube. I refuse to watch it live, and simply go and watch highlights hours later. If there was something titillating (like some intern gal), or some element of ‘crazy’...maybe we’d have more interest. But this is mostly about some phone call to the Ukraine, some half-witted former VP, and about some marginal joker getting a fake job as a board member for some Ukrainian natural gas company. It’s basically a script for a Jerry Lewis movie, if you ask me.

Watching Schiff is akin to being forced to sit in a room as a captive and having to endure an HR lecture on Feminism, Diversity, or other propaganda.

No one cares.

Democrats are pitching their message to the already converted. Its a flop with the rest of the country.

Like King Canute, they might well try to hold back the tide. Impeachment is an EPIC FAIL!

If they want people to watch, they need to use a BS meter. Stick it on the screen somewhere. Watch the ratings rise as the meter goes nuts.

Trump supporters know it’s a witch hunt.
D’rats want a witch hunt.

I am watching either games on GSN which is the Game Show Network, or old Western shows like Bonanza, The Virginian, Big Valley, The High Chaparral, or Walker Texas Rancher on GetTV while this crap is on.

Fox viewers moved to MSDNC to get a less anti-Trump analysis.

Only the feckless Dems can bring forth an “impeachment” that nobody cares about...

It was a difficult decision as to whether I would watch or not. After all, re-runs of “Petticoat Junction” and “Three’s Company” were on.

I had to decide.

Why when there are test patterns, home jewelry shopping channels and turbo mop infomercials out there?
