A Modest Proposal

Remember when a Republican congressman interrupted one of Obama's State of the Union speeches by shouting, "You Lie!"?

Well, I propose that during Trump's first State of the Union speech (If he gets that far), the entire Democratic delegation should stand up and do the same to Trump, shouting in unison, "YOU LIE!".

It doesn't matter at what point in Trump's speech they do this. They could synchronize it by the clock, since he's sure to have told a lie every minute or two.

What dja all think?

Which is why, after standing up and delivering our comment on Trump, we should then quietly exit the chamber in an orderly and respectful manner.

Class doesn't mean one must put up with lies, falsehoods, and distortions.
