If the Orange POS gets to give his speech, I will not have the TV on. For I already know what he will say.
Why waste my time?

(43,049 posts)even if I like who I'm looking at, no reason to spend time watching. And then the hours, days, and weeks of people telling me what was said.

The networks will record the drop-off in viewership.
Sends a more humiliating message than a straight-up boycott.

(32,102 posts)I won't be watching because the sight of that putrid orange manbaby makes me want to vomit. I really, really don't enjoy vomiting. A more appropriate term would be "Puke Prevention."

(11,760 posts)To me the SOTU address is kind of like a non-event. I follow the news daily so I can typically figure out the State of the Union without the pomp of a speech. While I loved President Obama's oratory and watched some of each of his SOTU speeches, I could never get through a whole speech. With Trump, I can't even listen to him speak about anything for more than a few seconds. The SOTU is kind of a showcase rather than an informational speech. With Trump I already know it will be bullshit. It will be self-aggrandizing, false, blaming others for his mistakes while trying to take credit for any successes that we know are not his.

(8,231 posts)that is enough. Besides we all know what he is going to say. I have TONS of stuff on my watchlist that has been neglected for months/years even so NO state of the union...I know what the fuck state it's in.
