I have an idea. At the state of the union

Could someone hold up one of those flip cards titled COUNT THE NUMBER OF LIES YOUR PRESIDENT TELLS YOU TONIGHT. You know what I mean….one of those numbered cards that get flipped for each lie he tells.

Every Democrat should wear a blue nitrile glove on a hand and every time he lies raise their hand wearing the glove and wave signifying the coming BLUE WAVE.

Can take the cue every time a blue finger goes up.

I expect him to ramble for 90 minutes…….so I think we should at least have 90 cards…..a lie a minute?

In 2004, Seattle Mariners season ticket holder Amy Franz made a sign to track Ichiro Suzuki's hits that year. She called it the Ichi-meter, and the original is in the Hall of Fame.

The only problem with making a similar sign to track Trump's lies at the SOTU is no one's hand can move that fast.

made to track Cub shortstop Shawon Dunston’s batting average in 1989. It’s in the Smithsonian.

Maybe it could have a dial that could spin freely as the lies pile up.
