They need to stay in the game.  

Not showing up would be seen as weakness. Any acting out would be risky but any resistance that doesn't backfire is appreciated.

Showing up and being polite is kinda weak.

But maybe they'll surprise everyone and do a Democratic version of Republican heckling.

We'll see.

That’s pretty gay

They just need to sit there and pick one moment to laugh at him. This will be the first time his new voters actually hear the uninterrupted jet stream of bullshit he says for an extended period of time.

U.S. Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) believes that his constituents will like paying higher prices because of President Donald Trump's trade war.

MANU RAJU: "Do you think that a lot of your constituents feel the same way, they're willing to pay a little bit more?"

ALFORD: "I think so."

Dems should chant “traitor” throughout his speech.

I'd love for them to refer to him as Comrade Trumpsky in their rebuttal, but they won't.

I agree that the Dems should all skip it - other than Jasmine Crockett, who I'd send in as a designated heckler.  Trump would lose his shit , given his known love of strong women of color.

I wonder if all the Trumpers in the adjacent neighborhood asked for proof of citizenship from the Spanish-speaking workers who spent the day cleaning up all the fallen trees from this morning’s storm. Or perhaps they let it slide because it was their own yards.

I've been bouncing back and forth on this.  The SOTU (and speeches like it) are important.  Anything Dems do will be castigated in the moment and used as justification in the future when MTGs of the world do something worse should we ever have a Dem president again.  I was trying to think of a better form of protest.  They should stand up and walk out during Trump's first sentence.  Perhaps singing some kind of protest song.  Hold a simultaneous protest press conference that includes fired Federal workers on the capitol steps.   Take the message away from Trump's speech.  We all know it will be batshit anyway.  So do something that will make it batshit and not newsworthy because you've created a more newsworthy event on the capitol steps.

the winning play is take all of his worst lies tonight and inject them in to every stream, influencer, instatube

Heckling and laughing would be the best response. Make him go on tilt. We all know he’s a maniac but let him put on display how truly insane he is.

It's a start. We'll never get anywhere without the people behind it. It's also a big shift compared to a month ago.

Quote

The Supreme Court in a 5-4 emergency ruling Wednesday refused to halt a judge’s decision ordering the Trump administration to immediately release nearly $2 billion in foreign aid payments owed under existing contracts. 

It hands a loss to the administration in the first time that Trump’s efforts to drastically reshape federal spending, agency by agency, have reached the high court. 

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined with the court’s three liberals to side against the administration. 

 

Quote

Four of the court’s conservatives — Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh — dissented. 

“Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars? The answer to that question should be an emphatic ‘No,’ but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned,” Alito wrote, joined by the three others.

This Supreme Court, it always feels like they throw the people a bone, then go back to fucking them. Specifically the conservatives on the bench... I remain pessimistic on future rulings.

Now, Alito cares about jurisdiction- that’s extremely rich from that asshole.

Alito and Thomas have literally no commonly recognized guiding principles.  They are pure Calvinball -- does an outcome serve their psychotic "conservative" goals?  Then that's the right outcome.  They have no use for the law, separation of powers, obligations based on that separation, etc.  None.  Zero.  They are rogue judges who are a cancer on the country.

"Independents."

There is no such thing.  If an "independent" watched Trump speak, that person is a Trumper who likes to give themselves a label that makes them feel smarter.  But the approval numbers are where the proof is in the pudding.  Self-declared "independents" are Trumpers.  Always.

Very disheartening to see that high of an approval rating at this point.

I think we might have a messaging problem.

What? Trump is saying obviously vile things while doing obviously vile things and they approve. I don't think some kind of sophisticated messaging is going to turn people who like evil into people who like good. Unless people are just sheep who blindly follow whatever is dangled in front of them.

Well it is just different to see it laid out like that.

Go stop the average person on the street and ask them what they think about the dismantling of our government, or what they think about Russia having ownership of our president. They'll look at you like you have five heads.
