Imagine this scenario for the upcoming SOTU address.

As Trump is speaking, imagine that one Congressperson stands up and says, "you lie". Followed 30 seconds alter by another. And another. And another.

Imagine people in the gallery saying the same thing.

And Trump would probably have a melt down.

Considering that the GOP did this to President Obama, what could they credibly say?

Imagine people in the gallery saying the same thing. At least 450 people would be leaping to their feet telling THE TRUTH and saying: "Trump, You Lie"

the image of a half empty gallery would be stunning. Are they a glutton for punishment? He is going to unleash on them, to their faces on national tv. No one watches the rebuttal.

It would be a yellow flood like Noah never saw.

And it would be played endlessly.

Democratic Seats should be filled with witness subpoenas and MISSING: HAVE YOU SEEN? posters for every person with information about Trump's criminal cabal...and ALSO all the women who have accused him of sexual assault should be seated in the front rows.

FUCK HIM...
He is NOT the president, he is a usurper and wannabe dictator enabled by racist, archaic systems (Electoral College and Senate), and he should NOT be afforded ANY of the respect the office used to entail.

Either that or simply stand and give him their backs while reciting the constitution one by one throughout his speech...

He'll probably feign some illness or 'perc' himself up and need to rush to the VA hospital.
