a black list is certainly appropriate for people with demonstrated loyalty above their oath of office.

I am aware that I am going to be gravely disappointed (pun intended), but that is my position on it.

NO Democratic Senator or Representative should attend the SOTU!!!!

and then walked out together right as the ugly fascist started speaking. They might even wear or carry a sign saying "Say no to fascism." Or "Say no to dictatorship" since so many people don't even understand what fascism is.

They would never do it, I'm sure. But I recall that Pelosi had the nerve to rip up a speech full of lies.

I remember that. Actions do speak louder than words. In a way, if the Democratic leadership did walk out can you imagine the toddler having a tantrum and embarrassing GQP 'ers.

blue states and a huge controversy over which side was right would ensue.

So, would it be an effective act that would enhance democracy? Probably not.

Maybe it would be more effective to show up but call out lies on the spot with gestures or a word or two. Remember a RWer yelling "lies" at Obama's SOU? Or the challenge that MAGAs tried to give Biden when Biden turned it back around on them? The toddler is not quick thinking enough to do what Biden did. He would just have a tantrum instead.

And when the whining and lying begins,shake those rattlers.
Shake,rattle and roll the SOU ..

I feel like most of them still support this.

I have an (ex) friend who has now reached the 'Trump-is-god' stage of his life. There is nothing that Trump can do that would convince him otherwise. Jim Jones had similar control and influence over people but thankfully it was on a much smaller scale. Trumpism will not go down quietly.

they have consumed too much kool-aid.

and talk about what kind of people are OK with child molesters/pedophiles.

at least once a week, I reference (1) Scott's unanswered Medicaid corruption and (2) their touted family values/Christian vlaues that they so miserably fail to demonstrate. I then tell them it's not what they say, but what they do, and WE WILL REMEMBER!

(which it isn't) was passed in the House, this will disenfranchise many women voters. I hope it doesn't get passed in the Senate.

They change to support our core values and vote for us, they're good. Sit down, and have a beer.

Grudges are politically dumb, not to mention effectively immoral. We should always be looking in the mirror. Always. If we have a better plan, and people don't seem to want to follow it, immediately trashing them instead of reviewing our sales approach or maybe even our plan is just plain foolish.

They want their bipartisanship back.

Grudges? Grudges? Against rapists? Against murders? Against kidnappers? Against traitors? Against fascists?

Damn straight.

Have a beer? Look in the mirror? If we have a better plan? Our sales approach?

That may be the worst post I have ever read here. My apologies if you meant it as a parody.

It would be like the Union Republicans just letting the leaders of the Confederacy back in to take their seats after the Civil War, so they could obstruct every aspect of Reconstruction.

HELL NO! Not with these Republicans, who failed to honor their oath to the constitution!

It’s not trump. It’s trump And the republicans.

for what they have allowed. It is pure betrayal what they have done. And I agree they are not taking nearly enough heat for it. Those up for reelection need to be slammed for it by their democratic opponents.

Not sure what to carve.
MAGA - nope - had enough of that
capital T for Trump? had enough of that, too.
DNA - Do Not Approach ?

Open to suggestions.

... to do the right thing, but always "toed the party line" when the moment really mattered.

If we can have a fair election this time (or prove the steal immediately) I don't think the Republicans are going to have many choices. People will remember for a long time what the Republicans have done to all of us.

Never, ever forget Stefanik's support of Trump.
And if she re enters politics, after spending time with her family, I will remind people of her support of a pedophile and traitor.
And her lack of moral clarity and courage.

I’m figuring MAGA suicides and mass shootings will take place. That’s what cult members do when they’re overwhelmed.

Even Trump should be called REPUBLICAN Trump. Unless language improves and Republicans will escape this mess Scott free.

Republicans are hiding behind drumpf's diapers...
