Some Democrats plan to continue their party’s pattern of trying to steal headlines from President Donald Trump when he delivers his State of the Union address next week.

They are planning a counterprogramming event to take place on the National Mall rather than showing respect for the office of the President and attending the speech.


quote:

And the pattern of disrespect will continue this year, according to a news release from MoveOn.org, which is co-hosting the “People’s State of the Union” on the National Mall.

The Democratic lawmakers participating in it include Sens. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Tina Smith of Minnesota, and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.

On the House side, so far, it’s Reps. Greg Casar of Texas, Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, Becca Balint of Vermont, Veronica Escobar of Texas, Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Delia Ramirez of Illinois, and Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey.

Murphy, who is considered a 2028 Democratic presidential hopeful, said in a statement, “Donald Trump has made a mockery of the State of the Union speech — taking a moment that is meant to bring the country together and turning it into a campaign rally to spew hatred and division. Democrats have no obligation to reward him with an audience as he lies and attacks people who disagree with him.”

Do they even the capacity for self awareness? That's the thing about stupid people. They aren't smart enough to realize they may be wrong so every stupid decision is made with total confidence.

So they make fun of turning points alternate programming option for halftime of the Super Bowl.

And then steal their idea for themselves.

Typical trash

Trump won the election. He is giving the "Peoples State of the Union." This will merely be more "OMB....muh Donald Trump..." These people are idiots.

So the Dems are so broke that they can’t afford to buy more ping-pong paddles with nifty slogans?

Here's the fatal mistake: if he's going to make an arse of himself, why not let him do it in front of all of America??? Consider a sports metaphor: if you know your opponent is going to foul out, why stop him from making mistakes?

Lol, you're probably right... they're pretty broke as a group, aren't they?

I say let them sit it out- It will make the "optics" better for Trump if he doesn’t have a hissing section.

Like getting up and yelling in the middle of the speech last year? Or being purposely divisive in organizing a counter protest and not attending the speech which is historically attended by both parties each year?

They're just going to make themselves look terrible again, like when they refused to show respect to victims of criminal illegal aliens families and when they couldn't even cheer for a little boy dying of cancer who's dream in life was to be a law enforcement officer.

Dems and libs are hateul and they'll just double down on stupid.
