My sister weighs in on the Trump SOTU boycott

[Miles Archer]

WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT WHO IS NOT GOING TO PRESIDENT TRUMP'S STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS !!!! OMG ! WHO GIVES A CRAP. THESE ARE THE WORSE OF THE WORSE. THIS REST OF US WILL BE WATCHING.

1. I Only Heard About Lewis & Waters

Are there any non-Black Caucus members of Congress who are boycotting?

I cannot believe a single Democrat would attend, but most of them are gutless wimps.

[gratuitous]

3. Rep Blumenauer (D-OR) was the first to say he's not going

Third District of Oregon, representative of your friendly neighborhood gratuitous.

7. Yeah, I Heard About Him Too

Good For Him!! Too bad the Democrats as a party can't unite to make a statement by leaving half the chamber empty. A few Democrats out of 200+ will hardly be noticed or mentioned.

I for one have ZERO intention of watching it on TV. I will absolutely have it on something else, and will avoid the post-event analysis and even DU. So far as I'm concerned, it's just the speech by a Fraud and a Racist, among other things.

13. Still time before the speech

There might be a groundswell of Democrats once enough folks announce they're not going.

I'm of two minds: I'm glad and proud of my Rep for not going, but I'm not going to hold it against others. There are about a hundred reasons to go or not go. I just hope each member of Congress sits down and thinks about what his or her presence or absence might say about this president and their role as an elected official.

2. some of the dems attending are bringing activists/victims guests...

[mainstreetonce]

5. Who is bring Oprah?

Who is bringing some of the women who have charges against Trump?

9. Big Deal

They should boycott. There won't be a single reason they need to be there, nor will he say a single thing that they agree with. So they get a second of screen time while the camera pans the crowd, the activists/victims are just props.

[fierywoman]

14. I'd love to see 12 Dems bring 12 women who accused f-m-s of sexual harassment and sit

in the front.

[dhol82]

4. Well you can correct your sisters grammar at least.

It should be worst of the worst. Does not make sense otherwise.
Or, you can try going from worse to worst.

[yallerdawg]

6. A bombastic, self-promoting litany of lies?

I'm going to be looking for alternative programming.

[lunasun]

8. And that is who he will be talking to and who it will be written for to advise on the stou

Who will write it maybe Miller?
I will not watch it.

[sakabatou]

10. I wonder what your sister would say to Trump's actual quotes

such as "Who said this (insert bigoted/racist Trump quote)?"

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Welcome to my world. They see liberals as bad but black liberals as the worst.

One black liberal politician does more for humanity than any random 4000 republicans combined.

[Ohiogal]

15. It's a bummer when your relatives love Trump. I can relate.
