or maybe "239 pounds, if it's just your ass!"
"Resign!"
"Stormy Daniels!"
"Putin tell you to say that?"
What other suggestions do you have for our lawmakers to shout at Trump?
We are owed one "shout at POTUS during SOTU" from the last one.
We also have one SCOTUS seat to steal back.
I'm keeping score now, for everything.

(50,254 posts)...get a lot of people chanting it with handclaps between each word...like "Stormy!(clap clap) Daniels!(clap clap) Stormy! (clap clap) Daniels!(clap clap), or maybe sing it to the tune of "Let's go, Rangers!", which would also involve the claps.

(2,434 posts)members seats? And how would they know who was not going to attend? Don't you have to have credentials to sit on the floor?
TeamPooka
(24,301 posts)And theres never been an empty seat in the house before why do you think there would be one now? Do you think Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell would allow a big cluster of empty seats to be shown on television? Really?

(2,434 posts)curious as to how they would know who wasn't in attendance and how a GOP family member would choose to sit w/ the Dems. Stupid old woman that I am. I appreciate your pat on my li'l ol' head.

(5,484 posts)and, when the first lie comes out of his piehole (should be within the first few minutes), all get up and walk out, en masse.
Then tell the waiting press why they could not stay and listen to all of the lies being spouted.

I don't think that this would be the best way to further our agenda.

(13,390 posts)I hope Democrats would not compete for finding lowest standards and most juvenile behaviors in environments that are supposed to be serious.
Trump's gimmick is to throw out cheap applause lines. Is that really the classless direction we should take?
Dems are not the ones who abandoned maturity and decency.

Hey, if IQ45 can invite Bill's girlfriends while he debated Hillary, it seems that it would be a "nice gesture!"

(6,286 posts)A slow exodus, one by one. There's no way he wouldn't derail and start ad-libbing.
If nothing like that happens, I predict he will give one of his teleprompter speeches where he delivers it decently, but sounds drugged and robotic, which for him is clearing the bar by a mile. All of the talking heads will yammer about how great he was and a few of them will mention a pivot. Then he'll do something ridiculous less than 24 hours later.

(54,506 posts)Kennedy's reply will be all that more effective if we give the Republicans and Fox Noise (same thing, really) nothing to point their fingers at.
Besides, who needs to shout "you lie!" when it will already be obvious to all present anyway ?
