Good. Now rest of Dem caucus needs to step up likewise.

LOL. Faux News is going to banner this shit. She’s one of their favorites to use in riling up the white nationalists.

dannysgrandma · February 28, 2017, 5:30pm

I’m sitting this out too, Maxine!

Would be best if everyone just turned off their TVs.

Give him the lowest ratings ever.

Sad! Loser!

Maybe she should bring a couch, put her feet up, and text throughout the speech…but she has more class than KAC.

I also plan to sit this out. Going for a few beers with buddies will be a much better waste of my time.
I actually think the Ds should attend. As soon as he starts to blather (first word out of his pie hole) they should stand and turn their backs.

That bitch!

I’m going to make that suggestion to my federal reps.

spencersmom · February 28, 2017, 5:43pm

OMG, so am I. I can’t imagine what could persuade me to sit thru such torture. Very Clockwork Orange.

Heard yesterday that Keith Ellison is taking Tom Perez as his guest - I hope PeePee sees them out there and throws that clot I’m still praying for.

“A Bunch of Scumbags” is the leader in the clubhouse for my fantasy baseball team name this year…

gregangelo · February 28, 2017, 5:47pm

Seriously – I’m shocked that more people aren’t sitting this out. The only Democrat I should expect to see in her or his seat tonight is Joe Manchin, because coal, shill, suckup, dickface, etc.

I’m going to watch (online) Africa’s Great Civilizations on PBS and actually learn something:

tRUmp speeches say nothing new, same hostile anti-american blather and tough guy talk, she, nor I will be missing anything of importance

and since Joe Wilson set the precedence of utter lack of self control and respect for the presidency in this setting, one would hope that once tRUmp starts spewing the same nonsense that has flowed from his mouth sphincter for the last 20 months, they should get up and walk out en mass, and when questioned by the media about their “disrespect”, just say that it sounded better in the original russian version, when Putin said it first

But all of the GOP paid protestor’s, aka “Congressweasels”, will still show up to collect their pay from the taxpayers they are grossly mis-representing…

maximus · February 28, 2017, 5:50pm

MAGA? Make Africa Great Again?
