should democratic senators and reps call out when trump lies tonight?

[rdking647]

just like joe barton did during obamas state of the union.

everytime agent orange lies call him out...

[samnsara]

1. hell yes!..OH HELL YES!

[northoftheborder]

2. NO.

I do not think we should meet boorish, disrespectful behavior with the same. Don't applaud, don't stand, turn to the back, or don't go.

[SticksnStones]

3. No, they should just laugh and laugh at him.

And the networks should have a running crawl live fact checker.

[lagomorph777]

9. I like the idea of laughing.

It will make Agent Orange turn purple. His little ego can't stand to be laughed at.

[SticksnStones]

10. Exactly....and the dems maintain their dignity nt

[forgotmylogin]

35. They should all have paddles with the words

"No" and "Lie" they can just hold up, like at an auction. It is dignified, obvious but not obtrusive, and will fuck with 45's shit.

[Retrograde]

22. Along with ostentatiously marking their Trump bingo cards!

I'd love to see one of them cry out "Bingo" when he utters his 5th or 6th catchphrase/

[Kimchijeon]

32. I think that's a good idea... just laugh at him

His ego can't take it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. No! Absolutely not! Our people shouldn't behave like GOPers.

Anyhow, calling him out whenever he lies means they'd be yelling all the time. Dead silence or not showing up at all would be much better and much more dignified.

[riversedge]

5. No. When they go Low, we go high. The Left blasted Barton last time. Lets not Give them

the opportunity to use us hypocrites.

[JustAnotherGen]

12. Wilson - Joe You Lie Wilson

And so what if the 'right' in Nebraska blasts Cory Booker or Nancy Pelosi? They have no powers in NJ or California. Blast away.

[Afromania]

6. I'd like to say yea

but that's what him and his stink ass base want. Maybe not scream out "you lie" but perhaps a little ugg-mug for the cameras or something. Then after, be ready to speak to every person with a camera and loud enough so that they can hear you over the din.

[rzemanfl]

7. They will be trying so hard not to projectile vomit. I don't think we should

ask more of them.

[riversedge]

13. Or, they will have to stop themselves from giggling at Trumps exaggerations and lies.

[angrychair]

8. No

I do not think a single Democrat should even attend. Not one. Even attendance to this shitshow gives credence to the insane asshole and his band of flying monkeys.

[JustAnotherGen]

11. Joe Wilson

And yep

[Va Lefty]

14. If he repeats his lie he actually won popular vote

They all get up and leave the chamber

[WillowTree]

15. Oh, by all means. Lets emulate the behavior that we abhor in others. No hypocrisy there!!

Brilliant idea!

(Sarcasm intended)

[MFM008]

16. Are you kidding

We're talking about democrats here..

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. It would be horribly undignified and would never happen, but

I am entertaining the fantasy of a mass mooning, like that scene in Braveheart. But it's trickier with pants than with kilts.

[rdking647]

21. so have them wear kilts :)

i do all the time

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. Do you moon people regularly, since it's so convenient?

[eleny]

18. I hope they don't go for the handshakes when he arrives

Just stand out of respect for the office but no smiles and reaching out to his anarchist ass.

[forgotmylogin]

36. Yeah, just hands over the crotch and a wan smile.

[andym]

19. LOL and then Shout "You lie! (hugely and badly)" and then more LOL

Beat Joe Wilson at this own game.

[Mr. Ected]

20. Let a court of law tell Trump, "You lie!"

As the bailiff drags his fat ass to his prison cell.

[SticksnStones]

23. A sea of pink hats....that's all. Knock him off his game.

No words, no applause, just pink hats.

[salin]

24. They should hold up penalty cards (like in soccer) whenever he lies.

Silently. Just hold up the yellow or red card at each lie. Hell just hold it up there because it will be a string of continuous lies.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. Or figure skating scorecards.

2.2 - 2.0 - 1.5 - 2.0 - and the Russian judge gives him a 5.0!

[Foamfollower]

27. The Democratic controlled House allowed him to get away with it.

I can pretty much guarantee you that the Republican Controlled House would censure a Dem who did it in a heartbeat.

[gopiscrap]

41. welcome to DU

[zeusdogmom]

28. Acknowledge his entrance by standing - respect for the office - not him

But then sit stone faced and deadly silent. Afterwards when speaking to media - let him have it on every lie which spewed from his mouth. But do it with dignity.

[Hortensis]

29. No! We are not without standards and dignity.

Even most Republicans would not do that. And the one who did paid a price for it.

[DeminPennswoods]

30. Absolutely not

There is NO reason for any Dem to give any talking head an excuse to discuss anything but the content of Trump's speech.

[Mike Nelson]

31. No, but...

...I like the laughing idea!

[Rhiannon12866]

33. It was Joe "You Lie!" Wilson who did that, Republican from SC

I think that was totally unacceptable, though he'd go hoarse if he called out all Trump's lies tonight. I'd be good with walking out or just not showing up, though. I know I couldn't take it and remain quiet.

[Jane Austin]

34. Of course not.

That will make him more o a victim.

Ignore him.

[Snackshack]

37. No.

As others have said. Stand out of respect for the office when he enters. After that do not applaud (unless warranted for recognition of military or some such other group) or stand or go negative on anything else said. If Dems do go negative and yell out or break decorum it will give news outlets something else to report on instead of focusing on the speech.

[edbermac]

38. It was Joe Wilson

And yes if it's blatant. And Trump would melt down instead of keeping his cool. A lot of people here say no. As in the Untouchables, why bring a knife to a gunfight? Tired of turning the other cheek.

[randr]

39. They need placards to raise in the air.

Better yet a picture of an ass on a paddle they could wave with each lie.

[dchill]

40. The answer:

Issue duck calls.
