"According to other reports, the regime is also kidnapping, trafficking, and sequestering teenage girls to Texas to be guarded by ICE and Border Patrol, two of the rapiest, sexual assaultiest, pedophiliest branches of federal law enforcement
The regime continues to push the Voter Elimination Act (which they call the SAVE Act)," (continued in /8)

"which will cause millions of women whose current names don’t match their birth certificate names to be unable to register to vote (80% of US women take their husband’s last name upon marriage; this is an effort to bar women from voting)
One of the worst US white men said all women need to be sent to gulags"

/8"What should have been a shared moment of national pride instead curdled into something more familiar. On speakerphone, with FBI Director Kash Patel holding the phone inside the locker room, Trump invited the team to the White House and joked that he would 'probably be impeached' if he didn’t also invite the gold medal–winning women’s team, reducing their victory to a political aside."

"Players laughed. The video spread. And just like that, the most dominant force in American hockey — women — was repositioned not at the center of the story, but at its margins."

"All nine justices should decline to attend the State of the Union address tonight. No law requires their attendance. Nor does any norm; it’s common for justices to skip the event, and some do so as a matter of course."

@wdlindsy maybe he has them arrested on live tv for i dunno, treason / maybe we start wwIII during the speech / or he shits himself upright / who knows what fucked up timeline im in rn

Dignifying an undignified carnival barker is a losing proposition.
And worse... The reverse happens: *You* become undignified in the attempt.

"Among the findings: only 32% of Americans believe Trump has the right priorities, his job approval rating among all adults was 36%, and 61% said his policies are moving the country in the wrong direction.
The outlet noted a steep drop in approval among Latino Americans, at a 19-point drop, and Americans under age 45, with an 18-point drop."
@wdlindsy and half of those people don't really think so.

"The women politely alerted the White House they would not be accepting any invitations to the State of the Union, because apparently they have a firm grip of what the state of our union really is right now.
And that important statement resonates far more loudly than any meaningless 'U-S-A ... U-S-A' chant ever will."

"I’m not going to watch the State of the Union address on Tuesday night. I urge you not to, either.
I hope Neilsen (or whoever makes such estimates these days) will find that far fewer Americans watched Donald Trump’s State of the Union than have watched any other State of the Union in recent memory. It will drive Trump crazy."

@wdlindsy
(But although there were far less people watching the State of the Union, Trump will say that it were more than ever before.) -
"The difficulty with State of the Union in particular is that the audience in the chamber is captive. If Democrats commit to maintaining a 'dignified presence' while Trump speaks, as Jeffries requested last year, they will sit there unresponsively absorbing abuse and lies.
That leaves them in an inherently weak posture."

"The purpose of boycotting the State of the Union isn’t just to convey things about Trump—about how low his character is, or how unworthy he is of his office. It’s for Democrats to convey something about themselves and how they will respond in general to being pushed around.
They’re starting to learn. It’s too bad it took 10 years."
Like I've told people about their GOP friends for years, cut them off. Don't socialize with them, shun them. Enough.
-
"Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, trying to prevent another shouting match, has suggested Democratic members either sit silently or not attend. No one should take the 'sit silently' option."
@wdlindsy I’m also open to progressives suggesting that Jeffries has been feckless in his opposition so far, and that his advice isn’t worth spit.

@wdlindsy Still high numbers for such a nazi crybaby who's destroying everything. -
"There’s something respectable about the sort of person who doesn’t take being a victim lying down.
Indeed, in many circumstances, making people pay a price for bad conduct is both righteous and necessary for orderliness in a free society. …
The purpose of boycotting the State of the Union isn’t just to convey things about Trump—about how low his character is, or how unworthy he is of his office."
Here's a protest against the lies idea .
The Dems assign a "Lie #n" card to each present Dem. A card small enough to tuck inside a jacket - you can get it into the chamber, but large enough that the cameras can read itAt the first lie, the person with the Lie number 1 card gets up and exits the chamber. Next lie, next card, and so on until Trump is done, or the last Dem has left. House plus Senate . Because I anticipate that many lies.

"He doesn’t deserve our attention. He’s abused and defiled the American presidency, even worse than he did in his first term. …
I already know the real state of the union. It sucks."
@wdlindsy AMEN.
