Will a brave soul shout "you lie" during Donny's show?

[question everything]

Where is Alan Grayson when we need him?

And, no, I do not intend to watch that so-called person attempt at being important.

Will probably have to skip any news show for two days. Could not stand all the reports about his screaming at the so-called conservative gatherings. Why does he have to shout, I asked spouse. The reply was: well, you remember who else used to shout to the masses, back in the 30s...

[mindem]

1. I was thinking about that

the other day. It would be worth it to pay someone just for shits and giggles.

[Hortensis]

17. Don't you mean just to prove Democrats are no better

than Republicans -- as styled in the false equalization practiced by most so-called "unbiased" media?

Or as proof that we're hostile hooligans far worse than the virtuous right? Because that's how right-wing media would style it.

I don't mind at all yelling at him from the street, happy to see it, in fact; but frankly, the very idea of the same at our SOTU disgusts me, and since I'm not all that sensitive I'm pretty sure many millions across the spectrum would be also.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. That would just give SCROTUS something else to tweet about.

He loves attention, even negative attention, because he can use it to inflame his deplorable base. Better to ignore him altogether. I'd love it if the Dems in Congress didn't show up at all.

[Siwsan]

3. If the Democrats all pulled out and used slide whistles, they'd still be more dignified than trump*

And by a YUGE margin!

[guillaumeb]

5. What a great idea.

How about kazoos also?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Or the "sad trombone" sound effect.

[guillaumeb]

23. An orchestra.

Trump might have a meltdown.

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. Vuvuzelas! nt

[guillaumeb]

24. All aprt of the orchestra of dissent.

Trump, and the GOP, would have a meltdown.

[GoCubsGo]

14. They can all get lessons on that from Al Franken.

That was part of his schtick when he had his radio show.

[lpbk2713]

26. A caliope would work if they could get it in the hall.

Ringling Bros might have a couple available for cheap.

[unblock]

4. All democrats should shout him down repeatedly with this

You lie you lie you lie you lie

[tblue37]

6. Or maybe, "You suck!" nt

[MineralMan]

7. I'm thinking a chant of "Lock Him Up!" would be

even more appropriate. However, our Democrats in Congress are unlikely to do anything like that. They are good, honest, courteous people who have the best interests of our country at heart.

[NightWatcher]

8. Anybody want to send me a ticket to the gallery? I'll scream whatever y'all want

[lpbk2713]

9. Perhaps something a bit more verbose ...

"You eat shit and howl at the moon!"

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. "I fart in your general direction!"

"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!"

I'd really love to hear that...

[northoftheborder]

12. I say no yelling out. Turn their backs, fail to stand or clap, or not show up at all.

I will not be watching.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. That would end his "speech" right then and there.

The teabaggers would start booing, the Democrats would applaud, the gallery would start throwing things, fights on the floor would start, pandemoniun would reign, and much hilarity would ensue.

The SS would herd 45 out to his secret bathroom at Mar-A-Loco, where he would tweet his little brains out and just send a letter to Congress yearly for the rest of his term.

I'd love to see it, but I don't think it'll happen. I can dream, though.

[kimbutgar]

15. Turning off cable news has made me survive the ordeal of chump

That said I will not be watching his state of the union speech. You know he's going to say America is in bad shape after the poor leadership of the last eight years. He will say we are not respected in the world(which is now because of him) and only he can make AMerica great again.

See, I already got his speech so we don't have to watch it.

[Kimchijeon]

33. Yeah I feel the same way

Why waste my time watching when we already know what he's going to say?

[question everything]

38. Welcome to DU. Love your signature line

which actually makes me smile.

[Dave Starsky]

36. That covers it.

Just throw in about 12 more paragraphs of repetition and one-syllable word soup, and that's the whole address right there.

[GoCubsGo]

18. The Dems should just all sit there and tweet him as he speaks.

That's assuming they can bring their phones into the chamber. They can all tell him that he lies, without having to resort to lowering themselves to Joke Wilson's level, and interrupting his SOTU. I think the sight of nearly half of the Congress staring at their cell phones, rather than paying attention to him would be sufficient insult, as it is. But, having the messages waiting for him when he gets home would be even better.

I will not be watching, either. I hope the ratings are in the toilet.

[NCjack]

21. Tweeting during #45's speech -- that's the most dignified but

undignified act they could do.

[More_Cowbell]

19. Maybe just keep their heads down and tweet

I can see Trump and President Bannon taking that as a sign of disrespect.

Eta: sorry! I was slow with that idea.

[rug]

20. "Piss off!"

[lunatica]

22. Every word out of his mouth will be a lie

But he won't be doing his rally schtick if that's what you mean.

He will be reading from a teleprompter the entire time. And we'll know he's reading because he can't take his eyes of one teleprompter and his reading skills are bad enough that he hesitates in the wrong places. In other words he can't read ahead of what he's saying so when the line on the teleprompter comes to an end he hesitates and then reads the next line until it ends. His reading skills are really bad. Probably at some grade school level.

He is only confrontational in his rallies when he's in the presence of people who love that shit and in the wee hours of the morning when he tweets. Otherwise when have you ever seen him get pugnacious with anyone in person? He's a coward.

[msanthrope]

25. Dignified silence while they tweet the shit out of the speech. nt

[mitch96]

27. I think some guy with balls shouting YOU LIE

Would be such poetic justice .........
m

[crazycatlady]

28. Too bad Alan Grayson isn't in Congress anymore

[Horse with no Name]

29. I wish they all would

and they wouldn't be lying.

[malaise]

30. All I want is a first line ringtone of this

[Retrograde]

31. Fits of laughter may be more distracting

and annoying to Boss Tweet: guffaw loudly at every falsehood and outright lie. Just MHO.

[OldHippieChick]

34. I agree. I think laughter is the best and will

piss him off the most. Other than that - silence.

[Paladin]

32. I hope somebody does exactly that.

And spare me the standard "We Democrats must not sink to the level of republican thug behavior" sentiment, OK? That sort of good behavior wins us no awards anymore, and does nothing in the way of effectively fighting our enemies. The louder and angrier our behavior, the better.

[Kimchijeon]

35. Would be nice to see but-

Would have to be supported and no fucking apologies. Whatever is said would have to become a battle cry to help unite us all. "you lie" or "lock him up" or whatever.

I disagree with the "we are better than that" passive behavior, because frankly the fascists have manipulated that to their advantage. They expect us to be docile and allow them to keep on lying and fucking us over while they make up outrageous lies and boldly commit crimes that go un-checked and unpunished.

Any acts of resistance like this would be great.

[DFW]

37. I fervently hope NOT. What I want to hear is this:

The whole Democratic contingent breaking out in spontaneous fits of laughter every time Trump says something ridiculous.

THAT would unsettle Trump (and piss off Trump, McTurtle and Ryan) more than anything like a planned "you lie!" which they are undoubtedly expecting, as he undoubtedly intends to do exactly that.

[JI7]

39. yup ridicule is the biggest thing we have against them

And it is making them very angry .

[DrDan]

40. I sure hope not - and I will probably watch
