No thanks

We are long past Civility and Decorum

we already know he is going to lie his ass off.

The only thing that could happen that would make me watch is if he suddenly keeled over and died from a heart attack or some other instantly fatal disease.

Having to see his vile face is bad enough, always flanked by assholes. But hell no will I survive watching him bull shit and demand hate with the two biggest assholes in the nation flanking him, smirking and jumping up and down in support of him demolishing our country.
It would be more entertaining watching Bondi fucking Bannon smirking her ass off and all the warts, boils and parasites in full view under Bannon’s 5 shirts.

ALTERNATIVES TO THE SOTU ADDRESS:

(starting) 7:00 p.m. EST “State of the Swamp”
At the National Press Club, Washington, D.C.
Lots of celebrity guests will speak. Live streaming event.
https://www.defiance.org/sotu

(starting) 8:00 p.m. EST “People’s State of the Union”
Sponsored by moveon.org
Lots of lawmakers who will boycott Trump’s speech will participate. Live streaming event.
https://www.mobilize.us/moveon/event/903012/

It's quite possible that one or both of these will also be broadcast on PBS and/or C-SPAN.

Did not have the links. Or where they would be. Thank you thank you.

It's an annual ritual I follow for SOTU

But thanks for asking!

that takes balls!

Can’t stand the sight and sound of the Orange Fascist.

I will undoubtedly see video and pay attention at least to the rebuttals from our own.

it will be on youtube.

I am sure I won't watch the whole thing, if I do try to watch any of it.

The only reason to watch it is to see if he rages himself into a stroke on camera.

Might not be worth the time.

I'm sure there are better things to do with that time.

Wouldn't you wanna see that one as it happens?

But it still might not be worth watching all the rest of it, even if 'it' happened in the first five minutes. My tolerance level for that one is really low.

Zero tolerance for slob & his ilk.

I can not sit through any Trump speech.

I’ll drop in and see what MeidasTouch and MoveOn have going on.

If anything important happens, I can read about it the next day.

I will boycott this speech

No matter what side is speaking. At this point if I flew an american flag it would be upsidedown.

Why should we have to listen to a mad man lie lie lie and watch people give him respect when he probably stole the election.

The sight and sound of that creature makes me sick.

Truthfully, I can’t stand to watch him at all. I turn the channel or mute his creepy voice and leave the room. To have to look at his teeny tiny mouth disgusts me.

I don't drink on Tuesdays. If I did, I would

I knew a woman in college whose dad was just like that. Nobody was sad when he died.

I’ll be dusting my books.

Hell no 👎

...there will be at least two alternatives to the SOTU that you can tune into online.

(starting) 7:00 p.m. EST “State of the Swamp”
At the National Press Club, Washington, D.C.
Lots of celebrity guests will speak. Live streaming event.
https://www.defiance.org/sotu

(starting) 8:00 p.m. EST “People’s State of the Union”

I'd rather lance an infected hemorrhoid with a plastic picnic fork.
I'd rather listen to Lara Trump sing Un Bel Di Vedremo.
I'd rather be forced to watch nonstop tv ads for Kars 4 Kids with my eyelids taped open.

I don’t trust any media not to distort what I can see an evaluate first hand.

If his mouth is open, he's lying.

All I need to know about is what he does. If he signs an executive order, I'll read it - because that document has some legal effect. What comes out of his mouth is meaningless, and designed solely to be inflammatory - or to stroke his own ego. No need to raise my blood pressure listening to him.

been duped too many times by crafty video editing so I don't trust those anymore. I need to see the whole context along with the mood in order to see what he really said and why.

… And your enemies closer.

That’s the only reason I will be watching

It’ll be all over the pace in every possible interpretation.

At least until I can’t stand it anymore. I want to see if he freaks out if the survivors show up (kudos to them if they do). Also want to see the Democratic response to the nonstop barrage of lies. And there’s always the possibility that his mind or body will explode at some point during the night. Of course, it will be difficult watching the loathsome Republicans cheer and clap like seals, but there’s always the mute button.

And wash it down with skunk spray.

AT ALL......I can't

I don't know if I can sit through the whole thing and pay attention though because his ramblings get boring and I can only take so much of it when he gets off track, which is most of the time.
I know a lot of people will refuse, but I don't allow Trump to control me like that. I want to know what he's up to. I even watch Fox news at times. I like to understand my opposition rather than just casting them aside and deeming them irrelevant.
If everyone including our leaders handled him that way, we would be winning right now instead of trying to recover from our losses.
Will I gain knowledge from watching it? Probably not, but it is yet another look into his vision, where he plans to go and how he plans to get there. We need to know that.

That's where I'll be if they do.

like. I was especially fond of Sara Benincasa. I look in occasionally, but no longer recognize it.
One of my favorite quotes came from Wonkette: "Liquor will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no liquor." - Dashboard Buddha

I am on DU and reading what other members are commenting on.

Why should I waste a perfectly good day watching the Supreme Pendejo embarrass us all in front of the world?

Can't stand hearing him.
I know he's going to lie. He'll talk about the "great economy" and Rs will applaud at the fabrication.
He'll take credit for the Dow 50,000 AI bubble though he has nothing to do with it whatsoever. And, the Rs will applaud
He'll victory lap the "success" of mass deportations and never mention that they are quota-ing people, not just getting rid of criminals. And, the Rs will applaud.
If Epstein will comes up, he'll bleat about the "Democrat hoax", claim to be exonerated; and the Rs will applaud.
Why would I bother to watch? I know how it starts & ends

Do NOT watch this disaster of a speech

Don’t turn on the State of the Union on Tuesday. Make it the lowest rated in history.

Bau bau!

forced to listen as 73 Million Americans file past and tell him the State of the Union as we see it.
Deal with it, Fatstuff!

not just sound bites afterward.

Worst year in the history of the US since the Civil War. Fuck Trump.

I am figuring the address will be a laugh a minute……. If I was in the chambers, I would laugh out aloud at every piece of diarrhea that escapes the dumb ass’ pie hole.

As it is…..I plan to watch the greatest comedy hit of the year. I will be laughing out loud if I have not kicked in my TV Screen by then!!!!!

I don't trust the media to identify what is and is not significant. That said, my recent experience is that my determination to get my own impression and form my own opinion is at war with my gag reflex. I will probably watch the start and stalk out of the room when my patience is exhausted.
