Giving him the disapproval to his face that so rattles him.

Someone getting up and leaving in the middle would be far, far more of a dis.

No Democrats should attend. Or they should carry signs and stage a full-on protest against this miserable piece of shit.

of the tax reform negotiations. Only the gop members planned that whole tax fiasco. Democratic members should sty away from this waste of time "speech" I do not intend to watch.

What a statement that would be. Even if they were not able to get everyone, the emptiness on that side of the aisle every time they cut to a shot of chamber would be dramatic.

Along with former mistresses, add in victims of his fraud.

Just like Joe Wilson, the South Carolina Republican, did to President Obama during his SOTU address.

C'mon, Democrats, let's see you disrupt the Dotard. Rattle him! Make him go off script!

Let President Shithole walk into a room of empty seats. It will piss him off, and he'll be unable to focus on his prepared speech as a result.

Once he realizes he's surrounded only by his own party members, he'll go off-script and start sniping at those who refused to attend. In other words, he'll likely start spouting more idiotic, racist, garbled nonsense - and the cameras will be there to record it all.

I certainly hope they do not, under any circumstances, applaud -- unless he announces his resignation.
