Wilson joins Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.; Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.; and Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., in boycotting the event..."Rather than listening to another destructive, divisive speech by Trump, I will not attend this year’s annual address to Congress," Blumenauer said in a statement. "Instead, like I did during his inauguration, I'll be working at home listening to Oregonians about what they think about the State of the Union."

Darn, I was waiting to see if the honorless Ms. Wilson was going to wear her bright red dress in the front row or go along with the other idiots and wear black to protest something or other.

Good. If they do have Ryan and Mitch call the respective chambers into session and pass a lot of good legislation.

The State of Congress is abysmal.

Kinda like the lower, underground part of an outhouse.

Nobody cared when you boycotted the inauguration, we will care even less about you now.

Why don’t they go to Haiti on a vacation that week? They were elected to represent, not behave like a bunch of whining babies.

I hope they all boycott and the government shuts down. I am pretty sure Trump set the table for the democrats to be blamed for it, regardless of how the media frames it (At least I hope so).

In this best case scenario, Trump should include several cliches about democrats being nothing more than empty chairs.

Good. Give the seats to loyal Americans. In fact, give the Congressional seats to loyal Americans.

This is much better. Sooner or later, the Dems will go full Antifa during the SOTU. Probably late in Trump’s second term.

What protests have been effective? Maybe they are afraid the camera will focus on their negative body language.

What a pleasant surprise!

Fewer lice, bedbugs and chicken bones in the House floor to have to clean up!

Thank you, people.

Glad it’s not the same geriatric lifer politicians.
Cause that might be suspect.
