They should wait for him to start, and then - as one - get up and walk out. Make a point of it and shame (not that they feel it) the GOP. Make them own him.
I think they should go, but walk out as the Cabinet gets introduced, otherwise if the felon catches wind that seats will be empty, well he will just sell them, more profit.
I like all ideas I read below but it feels like only way to handle state of the union is every member of congress that not a MAGA cult member takes turns standing and say We The People…again and again every time he try’s to talk.. We The People..every 20 seconds..We The People..again We The People
Omg I just thought even better.. zero democrats from congress go only, Obama, Clinton and Biden..they stand and say We The People every time Felon 47 tries to talk.. I’m a Republican so I’d love Bush there to but he’s a piece of shit in my eyes for not having any balls to stand up to Felon 47
No, half of that room should be there, holding hands, and singing “We shall overcome” until each one is arrested and dragged out. Literally no better time to take a stand
There will be a massive protest that day. We need to show up and be seen. I think it'll be gigantic, especially after all of the unwarranted federal firings.
No, democrats should be there and shout that he's a liar just like when Pres Obama did the address and was told he was liar.
Will Pres Musk and #47 give the address together?
I'm not watching. I'll get my highlights from MeidasTouch. He needs to see his TV ratings tank. Although, it will be interesting to see where they seat our quasi president, Lone Skum. Also, will he be asked to speak? I wouldn't put anything past them at this point.
Another angry Pennsylvanian here that voted for Fetterman as well. My area did a lot to get him elected and it pisses me off that he's basically thrown us under the bus. I changed my registration this year to independent after being a democrat for 42 years. I'm tired of this bullshit.
I'm at the point where I don’t want to give Dems a win just so they can do nothing again. Might as well let the MFs run the system into the ground, maybe then we’ll build something better. We need big changes, and most Dems (except a few progressives) aren’t up for it.
I feel the Fetterman statement. I thought that at least we had a Dem Governor and at least one Dem Senator
We are stuck with a MAGA state Senate, AG,and two US senators. PA was already on a downfall with income and population. Repubs here are why lead is in our water and min wage is still $7.25 here
They all sold us out to corporate interests long ago. The Dems at least try 7 do good for some people, but they've become an antiquated, ineffective political party. The good side needs fighters now.
The way this shit show is going I’m surprised Trump and Musk haven’t ‘saved’ your country $millions by getting rid of senators and other elected officials! Altho I’m sure there’ll be an EO coming to rectify that 😢 Looking in from a different country (GB/UK) I feel for my US friends 🥰
Not a scumbag traitor. He had to talk more to the T than perhaps, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh voters would like. Saying 100 percent to them after seeing Casey get thrown out under suspicious circumstances means you have to at least listen.
Yes, but he might not have beaten Oz at the time. Fetterman was so good at humiliating him that when he stood up at the debate and was so disabled, the PA crowd thought he was brave. Weird people here. #gobirds
I’m there with you. @fetterman.senate.gov is such a disappointment. Glad to hear his staff is jumping ship. They deserve so much better, and so does PA.
We need to hold a simultaneous state of the union address featuring @aoc.bsky.social @petebuttigieg.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @jbpritzker.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @meidastouch.com and for good measure Chris Kluwe
I want to see this as well. A full breakdown of the SOTU that calls out every lie and fact checks it. Then, chop the full reel into clips that can be posted all over social media to help expose the lies.
Explain to citizens what these agencies that are being defunded do to improve their lives.
No! He'll just fill the chamber with the J6 Choir & His Glorious Political Prisoners. Fox will dutifully broadcast the victory party. Dems need to stand with their backs to him, or wear photos of law enforcement that died due to the insurrection.
The absolute best thing would be to show up. Wear a unified color of choice and sit quietly. Zero reaction
ZERO facial expressions, ZERO movement
The reactions are what give MSM talking points and become the distraction to his lies,Trumps awful speech should be the only talking point
No disrespect,but that's idiotic.
That would mean they win.
That would mean they have made us into cowards.
Thats the wrong attitude to take the wrong direction
to go towards & WE CAN NOT BE COWARDS IN THIS
WE MUST STAND & BLOCK WHAT WE CAN
STOP WHAT WE CAN & DEMAND REALITY FROM THE GOP!
ACTION NOW!
If any Democrats show about the state of the union, I’m gonna be pissed. None of them should show up at all.
They need to stand with us right now and quit worrying about their personal press and their shareholders.
I think they should all show up and as soon as the president enters turn their backs to him as he walks down the aisle and when he gets to the podium all file out of the room. And to do all of this silently.
Yea, Democrats always seem to be able to vote in one Sinema or Manchin every session that way they can say we can't get anything done because we need 60 votes.
I totally agree 💯! A convicted felon #47 as president should not get any Democratic audience-PERIOD.
Those who believe in democratic principles & the rules of law should show up, then as soon as the fake president shows up, "EVERYONE WALKS OUT." That in itself is a clear message!! 🤬
Yes, it's a simple silent protest & an act of courage. Compared to the shit show that the GOP displayed, furry-faux-fake coat MTG-BBBB was unprofessionally behaving towards Biden.
Absolutely. They cried like babies when Nancy tore up $Trump’s speech after the SOTU. Democrat leaders should not sit through the nightmare that this SOTU will be. Is shouldn’t even be televised.
i wonder how many
yells of LIAR will be said:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
💯 And the other half’s merely there for the self congratulatory (please don’t primary me) photo opp. No checks. Rampant imbalance. Hopefully by then Americans citizens should have their own primary candidates lined up. As they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I was actually thing Dems should show up so R can’t fill that other side, wait for Felon to start and then stand up, turn their backs and walk out saying you are not a king! Great TV!
We need some boos and shout outs like MTG did! Let’s give back! I just don’t see Trump capable and will it even be the truth? Nope. He needs to be booed big time!
That would mean people need to be unified.
Patel and McConnell just showed us we are on our own. Smh. All these people took the money and donations, took oaths, and they’ll fake smile their wait into the new regime with a man who calls himself “king.” Smh.
Disgusting.
So we're just not participating? We are not showing up? We are giving in? This is wrong. They should be working hard, being vocal and in Republican's faces. Can't win the game sitting at home.
MOST DEFINITELY
ANY #Democrat who attends the State of Union address (SOTU) that dementia-ridden convicted felon tries to give IS COMPLICIT & BOWING TO THE SELF-ANNOINTED KING.
#BoycottSOTU
It's going to be nothing but lies & rage inducing PROPAGANDA anyway.
Decorum in the chambers . . . Except that those bimbo whores MTG & Hoebert have kind of redefined accepted behavior . . .
Maybe . . .
ACTUALLY a TELEVISED demonstration of that magnitude might even be BETTER -
1st - They all start booing & hissing AND THEN
#Democrats stand in unison & WALK OUT
Not only that, but if the "Orange Fuhrer" goes to the UN, the General Assembly should be empty or they should either laugh, walk out or all stand and turn their backs on him. Whatever Trump says is either lies, bullshit, nonsensical or incoherent.
Yeah I think laughter could go a long long way. No way he would be able to stand being laughed at, he may even turn violent. Then we impeach his ass and hang him for good measure.
Yes,back in2017,when he1st was elected2office.TheGeneral Assembly laughed at him and some walked out on him.I hope they all laugh as they walk out or just boycott his speech entirely.He has nothing of importance2say.Whatever he says willB lies,B.S.incoherent or hate.Nothing new,nothing constructive.
Let’s see how committed the democrats are - this would send a powerful message but as always I’m not holding my breath they understand the assignment 👵🏼✊🏽
In this critical moment, we Must BLACKLIST ANY Democrat that attends SOTU, and consider them as an accomplice to the destruction of our democracy. There is NO excuse or reason WHATSOEVER for any elected politician who values American democracy to be present at SOTU.
I respectfully disagree. You show strength by standing firm, not cowering. You stay seated to signal disapproval. You speak loudly and forcefully to the press in the immediate reactions to make your case and attack lies head-on. Do it Jasmine Crockett-style—bold, unapologetic, and relentless.
that's why even though I don't think phony politeness or being compliant is a good idea, or going high when they go low, I can't stand the thought of anyone emulating this rude obnoxious fool🤬
Actually I think the Dems should attend and be prepared to stir shit up. Trump makes an absurd claim, a handful of them should shout out, "BULLSHIT!" Another claim, another handful: "TYRANNY!" I mean why not? We're looking at end times--respond as appropriate. Start a damned melee.
I agree with this too, the Democrats still need to use every channel that is in our government. We have not fallen yet. They’ve only affected probably 5% of the whole government
Yes! The State of the Union address is live on every network with the entire nation as the audience; Democrats would be unforgivably foolish not to take advantage of such a platform to grandstand and protest raucously.
Fuck decorum, it no longer has any utility in US politics.
Bring on the Dems and open the floor for heckling! Douse the GOP side with fart spray. When Don Old makes his entrance, scatter marbles on the floor ahead of him.
Comments
Will Pres Musk and #47 give the address together?
As a Pennsylvanian that voted for that scumbag traitor Fetterman, I definitely feel totally disenfranchised.
I know one side are fascists but the other side are enablers at best.
But support the progressive liberal candidates like AOC, Crockett, raskin.
And demand your state DNC choose progressive and liberal candidates.

NEVER FORGET!
We are stuck with a MAGA state Senate, AG,and two US senators. PA was already on a downfall with income and population. Repubs here are why lead is in our water and min wage is still $7.25 here
We really need to primary him out when he's up next.
Gotta impeach him.
But idiot Democrats and “decorum”
Start fighting back!
And start saying what we would do differently
SHARE A VISION
Explain to citizens what these agencies that are being defunded do to improve their lives.
Take note from British Parliament and be loud. Protest much
ZERO facial expressions, ZERO movement
The reactions are what give MSM talking points and become the distraction to his lies,Trumps awful speech should be the only talking point
That would mean they win.

Or we citizens boycott it and don’t watch it.
"When trump does his first SOTU, I expect 100% of Democrats to NOT attend."
1. Full boycott. Don't go.
2. Go. Then exit when he takes the dais.
3. Stay & heckle even more than MTG did.
If Hakeem calls for decorum, replace him.

The FIRST show?

Also, media should (SHOULD) boycott.
Stay healthy. Stay away.
I’m done with this circus.
SOTU Morphs into Violent Brawn on House Floor
- Trump whisked away by USSS before speech ends
Fuck decorum, it no longer has any utility in US politics.
Okay, show up & don’t clap at all.
