That’s not bad

Reposted from Unraveling Politics

When he tells an obvious lie, i.e., every few seconds, Democrats should just laugh at him as though he made a joke.

Or just yell, "Another lie!"

jaymarah13.bsky.social•7 days ago

I want them to carry dry erase boards and write then flash : LIE, BIG LIE, NOT TRUE, GRIFT etc etc etc

lovelessc31.bsky.social•7 days ago

And refer to him as Krasnov. Like “there goes old Krasnov again lying for the Kremlin”.

bluebeliever2024.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think bleacher stomping would do the trick. 100 stomps for every one lie.

nikki1311.bsky.social•8 days ago

You know he does not like laughter… he made it a big thing with Kamala!

roookii.bsky.social•8 days ago

That's a great suggestion. It would drive him nuts.

idwagner.bsky.social•7 days ago

End with chants of traitor

fkneuss1.bsky.social•8 days ago

And bring popcorn bags

rozrk.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yep, that’s the ticket!

madsen85.bsky.social•7 days ago

Disagree. Instead, they need to set the record straight. Every time a lie is aired!

manhasnoname.bsky.social•8 days ago

Like his speech at the UN, laugh at the absurdity of the lies.

wokeazzdeadhead.bsky.social•8 days ago

The Felon will violate his EO of English as the official language of the United States as he does not speak English He Speaks gibberish

andreaisareader.bsky.social•7 days ago

Every time he lies, one Dem stands up, shouts “You Lie!” and walks out.

crispymainer.bsky.social•8 days ago

Mockery and general derision can be a really long way. Think the fraternity hearing in animal house. Juvenile works, especially when it’s about undermining an empty suit whose entire existence is built on bullshit.

T is a bag of air. Be the needle.

agateboy.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think paper bag masks should be required attire

susiedaytona.bsky.social•8 days ago

laugh like it’s the soundtrack to a cheesy 1970’s sitcom 👍

ericabel.bsky.social•8 days ago

Maybe we should stop laughing. He is what he is.

Maybe we should put our energy into stopping him.

Just a thought…

heather805.bsky.social•8 days ago

Loud fart noises instead of booing while waving hands in front of the nose for the stench. Because all this reeks of shitty diapers, um excuse me, dumpster fires

wellthats.bsky.social•8 days ago

Joe Wilson yelled "You Lie!" at the SOTU. And we're always warned that once we break one of those sacred norms, you've given the other side permission.

Dems should yell "Another lie" or some variation every time. But here's what will make it different. Unlike Obama, Trump will actually be lying.

handsomenuisance.bsky.social•8 days ago

Unless you can't land it, and it comes off forced. If there's any concern of that, switch it up for an "Oh, bless his heart"

scassian.bsky.social•8 days ago

They’d be exhausted. Laughing every time Trump tells a lie would be like one of those poor souls who get hiccups that last for weeks. Your muscles couldn’t take it.

birdy123.bsky.social•8 days ago

Great idea!!!! It's the one thing that will really get to him!

mandertang.bsky.social•8 days ago

I find w people like this a friendly chuckle and “Well that’s a stupid” and a huge “you agree, right?” Smile is very effective at shitting up mediocre men and liars.

peteferg.bsky.social•7 days ago

Remember how it unnerved him at the UN when they laughed at his baseless boasting? 👍

mrmucketymuck.bsky.social•8 days ago

They should laugh and then do a mock "Pelosi speech tear up." They'll need lots of paper.

drashook.bsky.social•8 days ago

At Tuesday SOTU the Dems MUST dress in the colors of the Ukrainian flag... Blue suits and yellow ties for the gentlemen and yellow/blue dresses, pant suits for the ladies... ohg and AOC should be able to shout "YOU LIAR".... whenever needed

jackacid.bsky.social•8 days ago

Insider-trading geriatric gelato queen Nancy Pelosi knifed AOC in the back in favor of an old white man with cancer. And Hakeem Jeffries let it happen.

The Democratic leadership are not our allies.

rusty2020.bsky.social•8 days ago

I know you are but what am I ?

prr333.bsky.social•8 days ago

If the entire UN Assembly can do it, I guess we can too.

open2debate.bsky.social•8 days ago

Been saying that for years. Being laughed at him sends him into a blind rage.

d-elroy.bsky.social•8 days ago

Kamala 'side eye'.

jenbone.bsky.social•8 days ago

It worked at the UN (2018).

canadianbacon66.bsky.social•8 days ago

Like the UN did ?

ddrae.bsky.social•8 days ago

He won’t do that again.

canadianbacon66.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump lies as he breaths, can’t wait for him to stop lying.

jfjr66.bsky.social•8 days ago

Chant “You Lie” each time. Precedence was set in 2009 by Joe Wilson [R].

nevergonnakneel.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think some sort of humiliation is for sure that winner

herbyba.bsky.social•7 days ago

Good idea. That's not making a mockery of the Presidency or of Trump, It's just being polite and laugh at his jokes, no?

psychicsears.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think they need to make a drinking game out of it. Every lie…cheers! 🥂

leadfootlj.bsky.social•8 days ago

Or, could we do the Iceman "bullshit" cough from Top Gun ???

muffinstove01.bsky.social•8 days ago

I hope the entire Democratic party will boycott his crap on Tuesday night. He makes my ears bleed.

microsapiens.bsky.social•8 days ago

Or just yell, “Lying!! That’s another lie”

bassman148.bsky.social•8 days ago

I like that

mikeluvs2draw.bsky.social•8 days ago

I tried taking a drink every time he lied but I couldn’t keep up.

jimk1.bsky.social•8 days ago

Laughter is the best medicine. It frustrates him, as he has no sense of humour.

stonefeathers.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just don’t go Democrats let trump pontificate to half a chamber of Maga morons trump will be so pissed. He will melt down in front of the world. Just don’t go

scaustin.bsky.social•8 days ago

Cut his crowd size? He IS fixated on crowd size.

leoniechapman.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes constant controlled sniggering laughter, that’ll drive him nuts. Boos will egg him on, being laughed at makes him shrink and go quiet. He’s 3 years old after all.

rebeccastrange.bsky.social•7 days ago

Nothing would piss him off more than just being laughed at. Call him Donald, act like he’s the joke he is. He doesn’t deserve the respect of the office.

drashook.bsky.social•8 days ago

My question...who gets to play the part(s) of MTG and Bimbo Lauren GropeBert at the SOTU? Who gets to shout..... LIAR!!!!...lol

pooneil1.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hasn't the U.S got enough childish behaviour and clown show nonsense already? Surely there must be an appetite for politicians talking real solutions in the townhalls that the GOP are hiding from.

ziglette.bsky.social•7 days ago

Everyone wear a black pullover with the Ukraine trident.

bobbradley.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just have the democrats watch a few sessions of PM Questions in the UK Parliament before the State of the Union. That should give the an idea of how to act in a real democracy.

poetdevotee.bsky.social•7 days ago

That's what Kamala did.

aware-citizen.bsky.social•8 days ago

good idea

ameridiculous.bsky.social•8 days ago

Like Hilary laughed during the Inauguration and he declared he'd rename it to Gulf of America.

bentheamerican.bsky.social•8 days ago

Zelenskyy Is a HERO
Trump is an asshole full of shit & Putin ASSET (Bitch)
JD Vance, Rubio & Lindsey Graham are Traitors & spineless. Republican Wakeup and Impeach Trump!

seraphinar.bsky.social•7 days ago

It's brilliant! Trump hates being mocked and ridiculed.

synergy888.bsky.social•8 days ago

I would love to see that...anyone have the guts to do it?

zkahn.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hello Mr. Conway! I’m Zach Kahn, a high schooler from Charlotte. Sen. Tillis defends Ukraine but hasn’t spoken out against Trump’s rhetoric on Russia and NATO. Charlotte deserves a town hall—can you share my petition on Bluesky and X to help make it happen? https://chng.it/JMvwrn9Nb7

Thanks!

I think the #Democrats should all carry laugh track bags. Or the minion fart guns. My grandson and I get a hoot using them.

skittlemypony.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah. I had a narcissistic boss in the 90s. That's how we ended up handling it.

pioball.bsky.social•8 days ago

I choose to take the half-full view that the reason so many people don't get the narcissism is that not all of us have run into one of these monsters.

Because if you have, you can spot them a mile away.

alagai.bsky.social•8 days ago

Can confirm

csdavis9.bsky.social•8 days ago

The Democrats have a messaging problem.

warpfactor10.bsky.social•8 days ago

i'll have to agree. we're in an emo country right now and quick wit/snarky commentary rules the day. the go-high bullshit falls flat.

csdavis9.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's not just the message, but it's also the messenger and the medium. DNC leadership does not know how to communicate effectively in today's, splintered, online, media environment. Most of the elected Democrats cling to decades-old communications strategies. The world has changed; they haven't.

warpfactor10.bsky.social•8 days ago

well said. unfortunately, they can't relinquish their power to a new generation. as ben franklin said, 'guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days', which also applies to politicians overstaying their usefulness. some of these crypt-keepers have been there for decades. term limits.

csdavis9.bsky.social•8 days ago

Agreed. Definitely bonus for points for "crypt-keepers" usage.

onegirlarmy.bsky.social•8 days ago

We have to do this ourselves.We have to be boldly creative and active; different and daring- but relatable.

johnhovious.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s hard to get your message out when the opposition controls the media.

csdavis9.bsky.social•8 days ago

That notwithstanding, it only exacerbates the disparity when you're only reacting and responding to the opposition.

The Democrats have failed, for years, to unite behind, and lead with, a coherent communications strategy that does not repel everyday, common folk.

elliotmalet.bsky.social•8 days ago

The Democrats have a serious leadership problem!! Certainly not Harris, Schumer or Jeffrey!

gallo678.bsky.social•8 days ago

The ONLY message he will hear is a walkout by every single Democrat. Every single one. Laughing at him emboldens him. Just walk out after he walks in. Or maybe walk out after he tells the first lie, so two minutes after he starts blabbering.

yourgracefan25.bsky.social•8 days ago

Agreed. But first they need to turn their backs on him. Also hold a conference outside for any press that hasn’t sold out. I’ve been beating this horse for a while, but Mayor Pete needs to be the one to speak.

gallo678.bsky.social•8 days ago

I agree 💯

greyghost11.bsky.social•8 days ago

Do the throat clearing cough (bullshit) every time he lies

sheehanunchained.bsky.social•7 days ago

I like how the Brits, in the House of Commons, heckle their PM and opponents to call bullshit in real time.
Democrats should do the same thing...hoot and whistle every time Trump tries to brag or posture.
The constant interruption would freak him out...he'd be big mad.
Walk out? Stroke out?

paulaintulsaok.bsky.social•8 days ago

Being laughed at by the media?
Sounds like a stroke of genius just waiting to happen 🤣

daisygrace.bsky.social•8 days ago

Kamala did this at the debate.

advrdr.bsky.social•8 days ago

I think we need that laugh track that was in every sitcom from the 70s and 80s… and if that was played every time there was a lie I think it would be one of the highest rated comedies since M*A*S*H…

habsfan1954.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yup. Can see that working.

Now add in people frantically signaling to him that his fly is undone, or that he has a booger hanging from his nose.

jackacid.bsky.social•8 days ago

I’d suggest that the Democrats charge the podium and beat Trump with their walkers, canes, and oxygen tanks.

martin012.bsky.social•8 days ago

The entire Democratic delegation should show up in Zelenskyy attire.

flishdog.bsky.social•8 days ago

Wear clothing that resembles Zelensky’s.

donalddrumpf2025.bsky.social•8 days ago

I agree with the laughing, but I think Dems should call him stupid. Whenever he lies or says anything stupid, say he's too stupid to know what's actually happening. What's his defense going to be, "I'm not stupid. I'm just a liar."?

magnolia888.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes laugh at him. It is what the media should have been doing since he started his anti-Obama nonsense.

icedandsprinkled.bsky.social•8 days ago

Talk while he’s talking and laugh at him or else just not even go so the room looks really empty and the crowd is small. He would freak out.

pdxbohica.bsky.social•8 days ago

greghart.bsky.social•8 days ago

I agree. Laughing at the lies will disarm him and really throw him off. It will make him look totally unserious.

carltbarker.bsky.social•8 days ago

Call him President Fart

mike01010.bsky.social•8 days ago

He has an real obvious tell when he lies. It begins when he moves his lips.

grimmersister.bsky.social•8 days ago

North Korean stadium art using flip cards in Ukrainian colors. Card stunts could include Dems spelling out (take your pick):

lies, liar, traitor, treason, felon, rapist, racist, senile, coward, bully, project 25, small dick energy (that might be too big for the chamber), clown car, ship of fools…

missychif.bsky.social•7 days ago

The country would look happy because they would just be laughing 24/7

lifeinfuquayvarina.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is a strategy I can get on board with.

davidcbowen.bsky.social•7 days ago

Mockery is an important response. He demands to be taken seriously and gets unhinged when not.

atomicanalyst.bsky.social•8 days ago

This might rattle Trump (recall how the UN General Assembly laughing at him momentarily threw him off), but it probably won’t be heard by viewers at home and is likely to just embolden Republicans. I prefer an organized walkout, which will send an unmistakable signal to Americans and the world.

mattpt55.bsky.social•8 days ago

Laugh at him. Have the entire Democratic body laugh at him with everything absurd he says. Laughing at a narcissist is the one thing they cannot stand.

tim-inwood.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s not good, either. Screw subtlety; boo relentlessly. Drown him out!

pwrussell.bsky.social•8 days ago

They could all mime downing a shot each time he lies.

cattress511.bsky.social•8 days ago

jmborn.bsky.social•8 days ago

No sure how well it works, but I get the feeling that this may be the only tactic for all fact-less claims. Just laugh and insist what was stated was a joke and completely ridiculous. Engaging with the barrage of falsehoods ends up in arguing against logical fallacies and lies anyway.

leebailey.bsky.social•8 days ago

Personally, I think all the media outlets should fact-check everything he says. They could make a hell of a profit on just fact-checking him.

trollingleonmusk.bsky.social•8 days ago

roobydoob.bsky.social•8 days ago

But if everyone does it it might, because it felt like the right approach. Because his ego can’t take ridicule.

bakingsteele.bsky.social•8 days ago

Sneak in a foghorn and blow it every time he lies.

dreamchaser4ever.bsky.social•8 days ago

Trump needs to be called out when he lies. Just like Macron did. That's one thing media fails at. Maybe have huge cards with lie written on them to lift up every time Trump lies.

walker33.bsky.social•8 days ago

He thrives on the conflict and the aftermath of the confrontation. Deprive him of the reaction and it takes his power away
I’ve been saying this for years

mjstone63.bsky.social•8 days ago

Laugh at him during the speech. But the talking heads he hates (like you) spend a week prior goading him and telling everyone all of the lies and keep how dumb he is and how he needs teleprompters and how Miller Elon and JD are really in charge. Then watch his head explode on stage.
