How will Republican lawmakers behave during the State of the Union?

Given how low (or nonexistent) standards are for Republican deportment in any and all settings, what happens tomorrow night?

Still, we shall see.

I'm also interested in seeing how the media cover this.

Expect to see their new campaign slogan: "Putin/Trump 2024: Let's just skip to the chase"

And frankly, I wouldn't give a shit if they didn't show up.

Fuck 'em. Their loss, not ours.

They are being exposed now, I wonder what they will try to do during the speech outside of the chamber.

Some will actively support Ukraine and allies. Few if any will stand up to condemn Putin.

None will rise to support SCOTUS nomination.

They will grumble and sit on their hands at mentions of economic successes.

In front of a broad audience, they'll mostly act sane.

It is when they are with their buddies and cheerleaders that they reveal themselves.
