#Boycott the SOTU. If no one watches or records it, THAT will be the story the next day,

[politicaljunkie41910]

If no one watches it or records it, THAT will be the story the next day, not some anti-abortion activist of Trump's choosing.

"Trump's SOTU received the lowest ratings of any SOTU in modern ratings history." Remember, don't record it, since a recording on your TV counts as a watch. You won't miss anything. Anything worth repeating you can bet the networks will repeat it ad nauseum the next day; but it won't count in the SOTU ratings.

#Boycott the SOTU. For the record, I'm not on Twitter if anyone wants to post this. You know he's going to lie and claim that his was the most watched SOTU ever.

Or ... #What I will be doing during the SOTU... I'll be giving my dog a flea bath.

1. I usually turn on cartoons cause you can't avoid it watching regular TV

besides cartoons are by far more entertaining than that dipshit

[Pacifist Patriot]

9. They certainly make more sense. This is why I love Amazon Prime and Netflix.

No chance of being preempted by the tangelo taint tumor.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

38. I bet your TV has an off switch.

Try it!

[bitterross]

2. I'm boycotting!

Why listen to the lies and crap?

[notdarkyet]

3. I'm not watching.

[UniteFightBack]

4. Just like his oval office speech disaster. More people tuned in to see Nancy & Chuck. I promise

I will boycott....it's real easy to do since I like watching the pundits opine - there will be plenty of clips to endure so no need to watch it ...we all know it's contents.

[Initech]

11. Oh I will tune in to see the rebuttal.

And you know he will brag about ratings in his follow up tweet.

[gelsdorf]

5. I was just going to start a thread myself

that jagoff is only wanting ratings anyhow. THAT will sting him!! As a matter of fact, that will be the so-called National Emergency!


When the overnights come in, he will be flinging poo everywhere!

[brooklynite]

6. Let us know when you have the boycott organized...

My TV watching isn't incorporated into TV ratings (and neither is yours). If something newsworthy is going to occur that might affect me, I'll be watching.

[SCantiGOP]

48. Right, these threads keep popping up here

No one will know whether or not you watch except you and anyone else in your house.
Even if you are one of the few Nielsen families (which is where the TV ratings come from), you fill in a log and it is on the honor system.

[brooklynite]

49. Well, there ARE the NSA satellites...

[Jarqui]

7. I wish they'd chant "lock him up! lock him up! lock him up!"

It would be so poetic ..

Not going to happen but an entertaining thought on a Friday afternoon ...

[Sneederbunk]

8. But I want to see Nancy's eyes boring into the back of his head.

[Initech]

10. I'll break out my 30 Rock DVDs instead.

[Squinch]

12. This should be our policy for every one of his public speaking events AND every

one of his tweets.

He would shrivel and die in a heartbeat if no one was listening to him.

[Dem2theMax]

13. I make it a policy to never let that idiot in my house.

It will be Turner Classic Movies night for me!

[2naSalit]

14. My toilet will need cleaning by then again

which is one of my least favorite tasks, but I would rather do that than watch or listen to that bloviator sling shit from a pulpit.

[aeromanKC]

15. Tuesday night will be laundry night

Should finish last load just in time to time in for Abrams response!!

[LiberalBrooke]

16. I will not be watching.

If anything besides more lies out of his mouth happen I can find it online to watch. I cannot bear to see or hear him.

[blueinredohio]

17. Nancy should be shaking her head no every time he tells a lie.

Also rolling her eyes.

[Luciferous]

18. I have no interest in watching or listening to him.

[blueinredohio]

19. Also I forgot I WILL NOT be watching.

[GoCubsGo]

20. I'll be watching hockey.

My team is doing very poorly this season, but I'd rather watch them ANY DAY than that fucking, vile pile of orange manbaby goo. Even if they were getting blown out.

[TNNurse]

21. There is no chance in Hell we would watch it.

[lastlib]

22. Every Dem should be in the House chamber with......

...a Mueller pic on one of those fan-handle sticks....



How would he like to see about 300 of these looking back at him all thru his speech? He'd have nightmares for the next month!

[LiberalLovinLug]

35. How about the man himself sitting in the front row?

That would f him up completely.

[ChazInAz]

46. Taking notes of everything he says.

[Stargazer09]

54. I would pay to see that!

Or better yet, hack the Teleprompter to have Mueller’s face pop up randomly.

[jalan48]

23. Toronto and Philly will be playing basketball at that time so no SOTU.

[SallyHemmings]

25. Me too!

🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

“Welcome to the moment”

[jalan48]

26. Yep. One has to have priorities...

[shanti]

24. Sure

but even if we don't watch, MSNBC, CNN, etc., will be showing it nonstop. I DO want to hear what Maddow has to say about it.

[Lonestarblue]

27. I will not be watching.

I even mute the TV when they replay a clip of him. He’s too disgusting to watch, and he certainly never says anything of importance. As you say, his lies will be well reported.

[dlk]

28. I Can't Ever Stand to Watch Trump-He Literally Makes Me Ill!

Perhaps it's watching his high level of dysfunction, ignorance and mental illness in real time that is so offensive and off-putting. I will, however, be tuning in for Stacy Abrams rebuttal. She's brilliant!

[MartyTheGreek]

29. Will do! You read my mind! Maybe more minds?

How about a first Friday of the Month boycott of $tarbuck$ while we're at it? Power to the People!

[yaesu]

30. its just a campaign speech, will be movie night for me and NO news. nt

[CharleyDog]

31. why would I watch a Bozo spinning lies and bullshite? not to mention I can't stand

his voice, his face, or his shadow on the wall. However, I WILL be tuning in for Stacy Abrams.

[Taraman]

32. Is MSNBC really doing all-day coverage?

[JeaneRaye]

33. Exactly what I plan to do.

I can't remember a time in my adult life that I didn't watch the SOTU address, even during President George Bush's terms. This year, however, I don't plan to waste my time. It will be filled with lies and I can't stand to hear him or look at him. Time I would never get back.

[Scruffy1]

34. I'll be playing my guitar. n/t

[Paladin]

36. No way in hell am I watching it.

The most outrageous parts of the speech will be repeated on the news channels for years to come.

[BigmanPigman]

37. I boycott it regularly.

I always boycott the GOP ones but after watching Obama I boycott them em all. Watching how the GOP audience treated Obama made me angry beyond words. You could hear me swearing at the TV outside of my home. I do not and will not watch...bad for my health and state of mind.

Maybe they should call the fucking moron's speech the "State of His Mind" and people can see how crazy he is and how much he lies and assess him instead of the country.

[Marie Marie]

39. Remember when Trump gave some "big" televised speech and

the ratings were higher on Chuck & Nancy's response than for his speech? Let's do that again!

[pdsimdars]

40. I can't stand to hear him anyway. My brain hurts to listen to his fantasy world.

[lark]

41. I don't watch him anymore, stopped some time last year.

It's just so infuriating to be lied to constantly, to have to see his ugly face, with his evil malicious smirks and slanders is just unbearable.
My husband thinks he "needs" to watch, so he does and then tells me when the Dem response is about to come on and I come back and we watch that together. I am a happier person not watching that always lying in the meanest possible way ugly fat fuck. I know full well he's a Russian asset and that the wall is only about buying Deripaska steel and that he would do anything to destroy everything good about America and to help Russia prevail over us every way he can.

[debsy]

42. I'll be listening to a screamo concert directed by Lawrence Welk

lol

[NastyRiffraff]

43. I just want to watch Stacey Abrams

I hope someone on DU or Twitter will volunteer to watch & let us know when the Asshole is done and her rebuttal starts.

The resultant difference between the audience for the two should be the story.

[book_worm]

44. My guess is it will be fairly high rated in part to see Pelosi as Speaker

and the dynamic of how a democratic house will react to Trump.

[Capperdan]

50. Will we hear Boos?

Or You Lie!!? Ha

[SWBTATTReg]

51. Exactly! I normally don't watch TV, but if I do, it will be solely to watch Nancy and her...

fellow democratic legislators react to rump's nonsense, right there, right then, exactly when rump utters some garbage or nonsense. I plan on recording it if anything, for I don't want to watch rump drone on and on endlessly w/ crap and waste my time.

[BigMin28]

45. I refuse to watch the con

for any reason, but I will be tuning in to hear what Stacy Abrams has to say.

[Mabel]

47. Probably the easiest boycott to do....

Trump gives me a migraine.

[asiliveandbreathe]

52. Taco Tuesdays at favorite Mexican restaurant....nope..he will NOT be on their TVs...n/t

[DinahMoeHum]

53. Nah, just wait about an hour for Stacy Abrams' rebuttal.

With any luck, she will upstage him in the ratings. Just like when Pelosi and Schumer rebutted his Oval Office speech; even though they looked like the American Gothic painting.

[KayF]

55. it's past my bedtime

so I can't boycott it

[akraven]

56. Got a new (to us) movie -

I cannot abide the sound of his voice!

[VOX]

57. The less one sees of that preening, every-word-is-a-lie THING, the better one feels.

To health, and for a 45-free day. No SOTU!

[ecstatic]

58. done. I assume I won't have to cancel any DVR recordings, since it'll have it's own name.

So I'm all set! I'll just have to make sure my cable boxes are off as well.

[ecstatic]

59. BUT, we should all watch the response by Stacey Abrams! nt
