I’m counting on you to tell me all the lies made at the speech to the joint congress on Tuesday. I don’t have the stomach to listen to it myself.

The best idea I saw for a Democratic response to the State of the Union address is a made for TV F-U. Democrats briefly sit, then stand, turning their back on Trump when announced and at the podium. Marching out to as many fired federal employees as can be gathered for their own SOTU press conference. Forcing the media to cover both. The normal behaviors are not working.

An alternative to this is that, if they choose to stay, to yell out "LIAR" to everything that comes out of that orange anus mouth, because of course it will all be lies.

No. No yelling. Stand with backs turned. Total silence. And let the TV cameras record him popping open with rage.

IMHO major media news outlets would merely mention the protest SOTU. I would like to see fired federal employees mob the capital with toy or cardboard cutouts AR-15s forcing the attendees to “run the gauntlet.” All those gun cultists in congress should have no problem. should not be considered an actual threat. Maybe with sandwich boards listing the job they lost. That would get coverage …

I'll say it again....dems need to stand and turn their backs to fat ass when he starts speaking. Just stand there. And watch his face get redder and redder and redder and hope he busts a heart valve

If the Dem donor class listens to Rahm, then the whole party needs to be flushed. These are the people who have ruined the Democratic Party with their Republican-lite bullshit.

I so appreciate your style and count on the information. how about a to do list regarding what little old people like me can actually do about this all. of course vote, it's just not enough. of course reach out to all those dunderheads in office but seriously what proactive things can be done...struggling with keeping up in Calif. gold country. lots of gray hairs here.

I'm doing 200 postcards for the WI Supreme Court Race Susan Crawford. I'm not good on phones or walking with door knockers but I can do post cards. You can also contact your local League of Women Voters as they have many volunteer opportunites.

Note 3: I just met you guys and I love you already. Happy Birthday, again!

Note 4: I wonder if they left a bottle of champagne in Khrushchev's coffin for yesterday.

Note 5: I don't watch award shows so I didn't see that until just now. OOF

Note 6: Bobby's brain is so toxic it killed the worm. I'm sure it's he heroin talking now.

Note 7: Fuck him and the horseshit he rode in on. I'm watching Endgame. I need to feel that good.

Note 8: But, will she use a Fundy baby voice like Katie Britt?

Note 9: Just like Texas where they're concealing the numbers of women who die because of their draconian birth laws.

Note 10: I love the sign that said "Go ski in Russia."

Note 11: Fuck Fared Zakaria, too.

The Scam President already HAS a scam cryptocoin.

Russia Russia Russia: Trump owes BIG MONEY to them. And Russians lenders a FUCKING BRUTAL.

45/48/41. What kind of bullshit is THAT? His numbers should be in the LOW 30s by now. I guess that's the Fox News effect.

Shutdown Clock: PLEASE Democrats, don't vote to help the Republicans avoid shutting down the government. Give them time to show the country just HOW FUCKING USELESS THEY ARE.

Bad weather: Let's start blaming Trump for bad weather. Drill baby drill...

.

Keep up the good work, guys!

I love your time golfing tally.

How can we get the press to cover the cost of tRump's golf trips? And then do the math for these morons on how much is being spent this presidency.

Not a single clap, Dems. With every lie told, one Dem should stand up & yell, “That’s a Lie!” a la Joe Wilson and then walk out. How long until the Chamber is half-empty?!

NO YELLING! That's a 3 toes tactic and we do t need to be screech monkeys. Again, silence is golden. Turn your back to him when he starts speaking and STAY turned. He'll forget about his speech and start crying about the Dems instead. Just another showing of how childish he is.

Remember John Lewis----GOOD TROUBLE!!

Bill Maher used to be funny back in the day. I quit watching him a few years ago because he’s too fucking arrogant, bitter, opinionated.

Way to go Tim! Just cede "immigration" to the conservatives. What the hell is wrong with combating their vicious lies? Who cares if you "spent too much time on immigration"? Most of us don't avoid it just because conservatives demonized all immigrants and are acting like nazis toward people who aren't citizens. They detained a German tourist who crossed the border from Mexico to visit a friend - it happened a month ago and the person is still in custody FFS!

And Bill Maher and Rahm can fuck themselves in their faces. Bill is just a conservative who likes to throw a veneer of independence on it, but when push comes to shove, he'll spew conservative talking points and make up lies about dems. Rahm is the person most responsible for losing congress in 2010, so he can FOITS (i.e. into the sun).

Trump's polling is distorted by the presence of Musk, who is taking a lot of the heat that otherwise would hit Tangerine Man. When Musk leaves (which will be sooner rather than later), the polling on Trump will show how Americans really think about him.
