He called Chuck Schumer a clown, called Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas, and disrespects our party every chance he gets.
If someone attacked members of this community like that I would shun him or her.

(14,379 posts)If Dems boycott, the Republicans will pack the chamber with fawning sycophants who will stand and cheer at every grotesque thing he says, which will give the impression that everyone in Congress (Dems included) support him. We need to avoid that at all costs.
Dems need to attend and then sit quietly for the duration or boo when appropriate. Show the American public that there is strong opposition to his destructive policies. Give him no quarter whatsoever. Turning their backs on him during his speech is also an option.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
