Won't watch one second of the "speech". Who's with me?

[senseandsensibility]

It will be nothing but lies and gaslighting. There is literally no reason to subject yourself to it.

And I wish the Dem reps would boycott for that reason alone. Giving this "speech" dignity with your presence is not going to be productive in any way. In fact, it's normalizing it.

[sinkingfeeling]

1. Me.

[TommieMommy]

2. Agree 👍

[maveric]

3. I'm with you on that.

[Tripper11]

4. Not a chance in hell

No way, no how. I follow enough news, US, Canada and world news, I'll get plenty of the gist of his fully on display outright insanity.
I have my own sanity to worry about!

[OLDMDDEM]

5. I'm with you on this.

[SoFlaBro]

6. I haven't willingly watched 5 seconds of that Orange Motherfucker. I don't need a pact to ignore the fuck shit.

[TommieMommy]

7. Can't listen to the 💩

[Ocelot II]

8. I can't stand the sound of his whiny voice; I always ignore his "performances."

Anyhow, I'll be at a choir rehearsal this evening so I won't even be thinking about him.

[UpInArms]

9. Me

Can’t abide by his face, his voice, his word salad

[Humane human]

10. NO way in hell

would I watch liar, liar, diaper on fire continue to flame on. What a dipshit. He is sickening and disgusting.

[JohnSJ]

11. What speech?

[Autumn]

12. I'm gonna be on BlueSky with AOC. Fuck the treat Trump with decoum bullshit.

[kwolf68]

13. NOPE

I am not going to watch one moment. I'll maybe read some threads here, probably get drunk and listen to music.

[jalan48]

14. I'll be watching Warriors vs Knicks

[senseandsensibility]

18. Good call

They're my local team. I mean the Warriors.

[jalan48]

26. Same for me as I'm in Southern Oregon.

[bronxiteforever]

15. Trump

[Ritabert]

16. I never watch him so I will continue the boycott

[MiHale]

17. May only watch the very beginning...

before he starts blathering. I wanna see the reaction of the Democrats that are present. Plus, who knows he may drop dead on live national tv…think of the ratings.

Hey, Krasnov you listening? You dropping dead would be a ratings all time winner.

[Polly Hennessey]

36. Oh, be still my beating heart 💓 I would pay to see that happen.

[Different Drummer]

19. Hand raised.

[LW1977]

20. Nope

Would rather listen to a male cat getting neutered without being put under.

[DeepWinter]

21. I don't think my TV would survive

[Daleuhlmann]

22. I won't, Either!

I agree with you: Democratic attendance would just normalize this deranged demagogue's words. Besides, I'm battling a bad cough and sinus infection right now, and I don't need his big mouth and the inevitable Republican applause tonight to make me feel sicker.

[senseandsensibility]

25. Can't imagine sitting through that

if I was sick. Hope you feel better soon!

[Ferryboat]

23. After oval office with Mr. Z,

I look at it much watch TV. Whatever outrageous shit spews from his piehole.
It affects everyone world wide.
Can't stand hearing or watching TSF, but we need bear witness. Eyes wide open.

[William769]

24. I already get enough fiction on tv.

[stillcool]

28. I'm doing the move-on thing

https://front.moveon.org/

[William769]

33. Thats a good idea. Thanks!

[stillcool]

38. yeah...and upthread someone

mentioned AOC on bluesky. Haven't checked it out yet, but that could be entertaining as well.

[snowybirdie]

27. Me too

After speech reviews only

[hunter]

29. I won't be suffering that.

I don't watch or listen to anything where I might see or hear him.

[Polly Hennessey]

30. Good grief, no. I don't want to ruin my evening.

Think I will watch Conclave. Much better than looking at and listening to The Fat Guy.

[LoisB]

31. I can't stand to look at ITs face nor hear ITs voice. So, no, I will not watch nor listen.

All he's going to do is lie and blame President Biden (or Obama) for everything that's going wrong and tell us how great Putin and Musk are.

[Ping Tung]

32. My doctor has me on a strict diet. No garbage. No Bullshit.

With a tip of the hat to Redd Foxx

[in2herbs]

34. I'm with you.

[1WorldHope]

35. Not for a million rubles!

[SheltieLover]

37. I wouldn't watch kraznov for anything. He is sickening.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

39. I'd rather have root canal than watch his state of the union.

Link to tweet

[LetMyPeopleVote]

40. BTW, DareDevil Born Again is on tonight

[Bettie]

41. Not a chance in hell

last thing I need right now is to listen to that traitorous piece of shit...(seditionist?).

[Locutusofborg]

42. Me

N/T

[Sneederbunk]

43. Not to worry.

If someone throws a pie, there will be a tape of it. Even slo mo.

[AltairIV]

44. never have, never will

I never watch anything that asshole has to say. I'll just read a description afterwards.

[area51]

45. Me.

to #DementiaDonnie.

[NewHendoLib]

46. No TV news for me in 15 yrs. Not about to start now!

[OverBurn]

47. I'll probably watch out of morbid curiosity, like driving by a car wreck.

It will be the first time hearing a full Putin speech. There's is no doubt now that Trump is bought, paid for and completely owned by Russia, Russia, Russia.

Will people finally believe that Trump is owned by Putin? The MAGA's won't, they believe what he tells them to believe. It's to bad for the rest of us on this sinking ship.

Stopping all cyber monitoring of Russia? who would do that, unless you are owned by them, it's insane. They are number 1 on the list of hacking us and planting propaganda in social media.

[senseandsensibility]

48. I understand your postion

but reading a transcript or following along on BlueSky is about all I can handle. I'm sure DUers will also post here about what is happening.

[Kaleva]

49. It's been years since I watched one. Decades.

[Paladin]

50. No way in hell I'll watch it.

And as far as I'm concerned, any Democratic official who attends tonight ought to be ashamed of themselves.

[Blue Owl]

51. +1

[bamagal62]

52. I can't stand to even

Look
At him, much less listen to his speech.

[remo ymor]

53. Me

[Bev54]

54. Never ever, I always change the channel when he is on as it is.

[IA8IT]

55. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?' Barbara Bush

[virgdem]

56. No way, Jose

Never watched a SOTU with that POS. Can't stand the sight or sound of him and his constant lying.

[Omnipresent]

57. A speech where anyone but trump is to blame, while he is a self righteous victim.

No, i won’t be watching his shitshow!

[Norrrm]

58. Expecting lies, excuses, blame, and much taking of false credit for 'great' accomplishments.

[CousinIT]

59. HELL EFFING NO. It's just going to be a string of lie after lie. Delusions of a maligntant narcissist.

[MIButterfly]

60. I am 100% with you.

Never planned on watching. Life is too short. I will either watch GSN, or even better, continue reading one of my library books.

[RoeVWade]

61. Hope there's a nationwide power outage during the whole thing.

nt*

[Racygrandma]

62. Not one minute

I already have an aneurysm. Going to watch Oak Island, they’ll find that treasure tonight. Or a square nail

[ms liberty]

63. I might watch rhe afterparty on MSNBC...if Rachel et al will be there

..

[CTyankee]

73. What time is that?

[ms liberty]

75. After the Orange Man shuts up and after the Dem response, if they follow the usual format.

[mr715]

64. Shall not be watching

I will doubtless see everything noteworthy anyway

[Jazz Jon]

65. Agreed

I was never ever going to watch it. It was never ever in my plans. I can't stand to watch either Musk or Vance or Trump speak. I dont care what they say. I do want to know what we will do to counter them. We should be Marching on Washington by the Millions. Anybody organizing that? Activity on Indivisible.org is silent. Activity on move-on.org also crickets. Lots of people posting nobody planning. Is it up to us here on DU to plan a march or strike?

[Miami Blue]

66. Hell No, I won't watch

TraitorTrump
🖕🏻

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

67. Let me summarize the speech

America's back because of me. Don't listen to them. They've been trying to hurt me.

[Raven]

70. Let me add more substance:

Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me.

[CentralMass]

68. I can't take listening to him for 30 seconds.

[Greybnk48]

69. Me. Not a second!

I refuse to in any way normalize, or sane wash Donald Trump, the MAGA Republican Party, or any of what's happening. I don't see why we're even having a "State of the Union" from the group that is trying to break up the union.

[ellemb]

71. Me

[CTyankee]

72. TONIGHT IS MY NIGHT TO FRY SOME ICE SO I CANNOT WATCH. I SEND REGRETS...

NOT!

[senseandsensibility]

105. FRY ICE!

I'm gonna remember that one!

[kacekwl]

74. I am not watching because I fear

for my health listening to lie after lie by a Russian sympathizer and traitor. Also afraid of seeing what democrats will not do. To be safe I wish they would not attend.

[MustLoveBeagles]

76. I won't either

Can't stand listening to his bull💩. I'll probably read about the lowlights on DU. There will be a thread on here for hate watching.

[Botany]

77. Me

N/t

[GreenWave]

78. Nope. low viewership will hurt him.

[doc03]

79. No way I would put myself through that. nt

[Danmel]

80. I'm definitely not watching

[Demobrat]

81. I would rather stick hot pokers in my eyes.

Can’t stand his face or his voice.

[Dorothy V]

82. I'd just as soon have a barium enema in a public place as watch or hear one nanosecond of that monstrosity!

I haven't watched or listened to it in years now. It's the most disgusting thing in the known universe.

[Ninga]

83. No way watching! Even Slotkin.

[cilla4progress]

84. Lots of good alternatives

For example:

[LuvLoogie]

85. What speech?

It's my wife's birthday.

[dawn5651]

86. i believe he has said enough. he is targetting people in 4 countries. china, canada, mexico and the united states

because none of us are willing to kiss his ass.

[Eddie18]

87. MSNBC recap could be fun

I'll watch Rachel and the gang afterwards. Hang on tight piglet, it's going to be blustery.

[Magoo48]

88. I'm gonna watch a spring-training baseball game.

[Xipe Totec]

89. I'll watch so you don't have to.

Not to be a contrarian but to hear what the enemy of the people has to say for himself.

It's going to be painful, I know, but to quote The Art of War, written by Sun Tzu, "Know thy enemy".

[bluescribbler]

91. Not one nanosecond.

I wish I could avoid the coverage, as well.

[WinstonSmith4740]

92. Right here!

Never watched during his first term, so sure as hell won't be doing it tonight. In fact, just getting ready to call my senators and rep (they're all Dems!) to tell them to either not go, or get up and walk out the first time he either bad mouths Dems, or tries to blame everything on Biden.

[allegorical oracle]

93. No. Since he's going bald, it's no fun anymore. His hair had its own personality.

[yellowcanine]

94. Not watching for the sake of my mental health. Denial is a wonderful.thing sometimes.

If I didn't see it it did not happen.

[Nixie]

95. We're not going to watch one second of that lying sack.

Why bother. He’s just an abusive liar.

I’ll watch Meidas Touch recaps of it so they get credit for my eyeballs on their channel. They are a port in the storm lately! I’m so thankful for the independent media.

[Butterflylady]

96. Never did, never will....

[lucca18]

97. I. Wili. Not. Watch.

I will not read anything about what he is saying during the speech.
I am giving myself a time out.
I need a mental health break!

[SeattleRocks]

98. No TV for me

I stopped watching TV altogether about 8 years ago...it was affecting my mood and my peace...No Regrets...

[Onthefly]

99. I am with you

I will be watching a Swedish comedy movie, “The 100 Year Old Man who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared.”

[Intractable]

100. I'm more interested in the "Cliff notes" (e.g., commentary by Rachel Maddow et al.)

[Turbineguy]

101. agree.

[elocs]

102. I wish the Dems would go and when Trump starts talking, quietly get up & walk out. n/t

[senseandsensibility]

106. Not gonna happen I'm afraid

Did you hear Mark Warners plan to "celebrate" trump's big wins on immigration?

[elocs]

108. Well, to all walk out at the same time would require organization,

and as Will Rodgers said, "I don't belong to any organized political party. I'm a Democrat."

[ailsagirl]

103. Ditto here

[lindalou65]

104. No way will I

watch the Felon's speech! I have better things to do with my time.

[Delmette2.0]

107. Three Dems here

Me, my son and my sister.
