Especially when/if Democrats stay seated and hold their applause. I'm hoping that if he goes off on a delusional, self-aggrandizing spree, people start to walk out.

not attend this year’s annual address to Congress. Instead, like I did during his inauguration, I'll be at home organizing my sock drawer."

You'd see half the chamber empty.

I remember the camera picking out George McGovern, who only two years earlier had been the victim of the worst of Nixon's "dirty tricks" campaign, sitting there as one of the few Democratic senators who had shown up...a touching moment of magananimity and strength of character on McGovern's part.

It would make a great photo of resistance, IMO...

and refuse to stand up! I will skip it as I usually do. It is best for my health. I haven't watched since 2010 when the GOP sneered at Obama so much I almost had a coronary. Now I boycott all of the daily pressers with Fuckubee Sanders and I would boycott the Fucking Moron's too but he hasn't had one in about 10 months for some reason (could it be due to his mental instability and crisis management?).
