That would be rude. I called my DEMOCRATIC rep last year at this time to encourage her to boycott, and the person who answered acted like they had never heard of such a thing.

Completely repulsive man. If he’s on I leave the room or wear headphones or whatever. Nothing he says is true in any meaningful way.

They should listen to every word he says. These are busy people who don't sit in front of a t v and hear all of trumps wrongs and lies. Trump hates to be laughed at and they can't laugh at him if they are not there.

There is nothing funny about what he has done.

You do know that he speaks of things he wants to do in the future? Laugh...

I don't see how you call a laugh a joke? One can laugh with someone or AT someone. Big difference.

Every empty seat would embolden trump even more. He would sense fear. I am not fearful I am angry.

Democrats should loudly heckle the Piggy. Chants of release the Epstein files…ICE out!…call out every lie…You Lie!…interrupt him unceasingly… fight like they do, make it dirty, embarrassing. Drive Piggy up a wall…make him crack with rage.
Yell at the complacent republicans about their integrity…why they still back a predator…scream Impeachment Him often and loudly. Get thrown out …make a righteous scene. Block out applause with jeers.

Democrats should not forfeit the SOTU.

Chant "Epstein!" "Epstein!" over and over, drown him out. Hold up signs with the pics of the two of them together. Roll the tape of them oogling NFL cheerleaders like the perverts and sex offenders they are/were. Make noise!

The Dems not showing up makes the SOTU another Piggy rally.

And every damn one have a red stained Kotex taped to their ear.
Not a word needs said. Just watch all the GQP and the 2 clowns with Daddy up front and center lose their fucking shit. Daddy will get so pissed he has no idea what to say, hopefully stroke on air for us all to laugh at. While Moses and Vance fight over who gets to do mouth to chin anus CPR to revive the blob.
As they fight each other, they are too late and he does not make it. Turn as blue as his hands. A sign of the Blue tsunami coming.
Sorry, if this breaks WOKE rules. The murders have pushed me over the edge.

They could bring in a few signs that make up a sentence and all raise them at same time when they say something crazy. I think that would give them more attention.

...that having US Marshals present to take the orange menace into custody pending transfer to the International Criminal Court (or, alternately, just throwing him in a dungeon without trial) during the speech wouldn't be allowable.

when then sat on their hands and wouldn't applaud a little kid with cancer and other Americans invited to the speech.
