Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.), one of the Democrats running to replace President Trump in 2020, announced Tuesday that she would deliver a prebuttal on Facebook Live about an hour before he gives his State of the Union address.

"I'm delivering remarks tonight on Facebook Live ahead of the President’s State of the Union Address," Harris said on Twitter. "It's critical we speak truth to the American people during this inflection moment in our country's history."

Trump is slated to give the annual State of the Union address from the Capitol at 9 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday night. Stacey Abrams, who ran unsuccessfully for Georgia governor last year, will give the official Democratic response.

1. I had to look up 'inflection moment.,"

An inflection point, in a general sense, is a decisive moment in the course of some entity, event or situation that marks the start of significant change. ... In that context, an inflection point is a point on a convex (upward) curve where it becomes concave (downward) or vice versa.

3. It's so very grossly down, I'm looking for it to go ⬆ from here.

Mb * will make the most outrageous spectacle of himself for all to witness. Or will that not do it either. 😏

2. I will have no problem at all voting for Kamela Harris. I just wish the serious campaigning would ..

wait a year

4. I fear that people may "burn out" on it and just stop listening or paying attention.

Then what?

12. My worry exactly. We have Senate seats to plan for and House seats to shore up. Plus a lot ...

those tossing their hats in are not even through a full first term - we need them in the Congress, especially the Senate! Some will be negatively affected in states that require candidates for an office resign their current offices.

We don't need just the WH. We need Congress, too. And Governors. State legislatures. City Councils. School boards. Dog catcher.

15. I admit that the butting-in extra "buttals" bother me. n/t

20. Harris won't be addressing the specifics of trump's speech, Stacey Abrams will....

....I guess we won't know the point of Sanders' appearance until we hear it.

6. Awesome, rebuttal, prebuttal...

45 needs more than one kick the buttal.

[Voltaire2]

8. Postbuttal.

We have Harris with the Prebuttal, then the Butt, then Abrams with the rebuttal and then Sanders with the postbuttal.

9. Kickbuttal!

10. Don't forget about the Spanish-language Democratic response by Xavier Becerra.

19. Poisoning the well is a good strategy

"Here's what the President is going to lie to you about:
1.
2.
3.
don't believe any of his nonsense, he's going to jail soon"

Then watch him stammer through his nonsense while trying not to esplode his own head.
