Do not be seen sitting silently in the Reichstag, as Republicans cheer the American Fuhrer!

(24,989 posts)That would be rude.
I called my DEMOCRATIC rep last year at this time to encourage her to boycott, and the person who answered acted like they had never heard of such a thing.

(42,674 posts)Completely repulsive man. If hes on I leave the room or wear headphones or whatever. Nothing he says is true in any meaningful way.

(12,677 posts)They should listen to every word he says. These are busy people who don't sit in front of a t v and hear all of trumps wrongs and lies. Trump hates to be laughed at and they can't laugh at him if they are not there.

There is nothing funny about what he has done.
pwb
(12,677 posts)You do know that he speaks of things he wants to do in the future? Laugh...
I don't see how you call a laugh a joke? One can laugh with someone or AT someone. Big difference.
Every empty seat would embolden trump even more. He would sense fear. I am not fearful I am angry.

(13,037 posts)Democrats should loudly heckle the Piggy. Chants of release the Epstein files
ICE out!
call out every lie
You Lie!
interrupt him unceasingly
fight like they do, make it dirty, embarrassing. Drive Piggy up a wall
make him crack with rage.
Yell at the complacent republicans about their integrity
why they still back a predator
scream Impeachment Him often and loudly. Get thrown out
make a righteous scene. Block out applause with jeers.

(4,520 posts)Democrats should not forfeit the SOTU.
Chant "Epstein!" "Epstein!" over and over, drown him out. Hold up signs with the pics of the two of them together. Roll the tape of them oogling NFL cheerleaders like the perverts and sex offenders they are/were. Make noise!
The Dems not showing up makes the SOTU another Piggy rally.

Not a word needs said. Just watch all the GQP and the 2 clowns with Daddy up front and center lose their fucking shit. Daddy will get so pissed he has no idea what to say, hopefully stroke on air for us all to laugh at. While Moses and Vance fight over who gets to do mouth to chin anus CPR to revive the blob.
As they fight each other, they are too late and he does not make it. Turn as blue as his hands. A sign of the Blue tsunami coming.
Sorry, if this breaks WOKE rules. The murders have pushed me over the edge.

(13,284 posts)They could bring in a few signs that make up a sentence and all raise them at same time when they say something crazy. I think that would give them more attention.

(53,201 posts)...that having US Marshals present to take the orange menace into custody pending transfer to the International Criminal Court (or, alternately, just throwing him in a dungeon without trial) during the speech wouldn't be allowable.

(59,531 posts)Cankles's speech. But if Democrats do a competing speech that tells the truth and tells the desperate nation things that each of us can do, individually and collectively to fight this, that would be meaningful. A speech that tells us that we are being heard and there is an actual plan in place, and there are creative minds working on this.
And they should do some big ask of us while they're at it. People want to act. We want to act in a coordinated and powerful and effective way. That would be the perfect place to initiate a mass movement.
And give a state of the Epstein files while they're at it.

(26,199 posts)Make fun of it the day after, or/and Tim Miller's reaction. I can't stand to listen to the man lie. It's embarrassing. He has no shame or respect for me.
