***Official SOTU Boycott Thread***

I am not watching Fat Nixon tonight. I would love to see the lowest ever ratings for a SOTU speech. I will be on Netflix tonight or away from my TV completely. There is nothing that Traitor tRump can say that will ever lift me up. I can't even stand his voice.

What say you?

As long as putin and trump are in charge their is no union, just divisions, and he'll do one or the other, announce more meetings with putin and praise him, or hide he'll be meeting or talking with him to get his orders from him on what to do.

I can’t bring myself to endure certain gaslighting inflicted by an illegitimate traitor, or watch him defile The People’s House with lies and division. However, I will seek comfort in the strength, clarity and courage of Stacie Abram’s response.

There is no way I can listen to that voice or see that face without having violent reactions driving me to a home facility . .. that or a large bottle of booze. Yup, it'll be Netflix, or maybe Hallmark channel for me, but first I have practicing to do . . . so many more productive things. I will try to tune in for Stacy Abrams though.

I won't stay up or get up at 3am to watch. I also get anxiety every time I hear his voice and his lies. I want to smack the guy in the head or throat punch him and I'm a pacifist.

I really can't stand him but honestly, his followers and Mitch McConnell I hate even more so.

I'll read about the highlights and lies in the morning.

9 PM I'm watching the History channel, "The Curse of Oak Island." The boys are boring another big hole tonight.

10 Pm I don't know, maybe the Weather Channel?

You just know that Trump will be late and make everyone wait.

I literally cannot stand to watch trump. He makes me nauseous. Watching his high of a level of insanity is toxic for me. I will, however, be tuning in to Stacy Abram’s rebuttal. She’s brilliant!

The press will not give me the real time bullshit o meter I require, so I will wait for Rachel to get back with the low lights.
