... on @allinwithchris, @repmaxinewaters tells @joyannreid she will skip trump's state of the union on january 30: "why would i take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar? ... he does not deserve my attention." #inners pic.twitter.com/VNf3UIo2Pv — fake nick ramsey (@nick_ramsey) January 13, 2018

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said Friday she will not attend President Trump’s first State of the Union address following his vulgar remarks aimed at Haiti, El Salvador and African nations.

“Why would I take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar?” Waters said on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.” “Someone who lies in the face of facts, someone who can change their tune day in and day out. What does he have to say that I would be interested in?"

“I don’t trust him, I don’t appreciate him and I wouldn’t waste my time ... listening to what he has to say,” she continued. “He does not deserve my attention.”

Waters is the third Democratic lawmaker to announce they won’t attend Trump’s address, scheduled for later this month.

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) announced Friday he would skip Trump’s State of the Union over the president's “unbelievable” remarks, in which he referred to Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “shithole countries.”

"I cannot in all good conscience be in a room with what he has said about so many Americans. I just cannot do it. I wouldn't be honest with myself," Lewis said.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) announced last week that he too would boycott Trump’s address.

Members of the Democratic caucus are planning ways to protest during Trump’s speech. Female Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), plan to wear all black in solidarity with victims of sexual misconduct and the #MeToo movement.

“As much as we think Mad Maxine is an idiot, her constant reelection is a wider commentary on her constituents.”

Yes, because in her district, she’s considered one of the “smart ones!” It’s one of a small number of “black districts,” where a constituent’s death results in an increase in the collective IQ!

Trump is allegedly a germophobe. That’s one less unclean hand he’ll have to shake at the SOTU address.

As long as dems keep absenting themselves from meetings, speeches, sessions etc... the more plowing ahead without them will continue and flourish.

Nobody is waiting for them to participate just as no one will offer them a safety line and drag them aboard to help rebuild the Republic.

These absent deserters are exhibiting childlike behaviors in a chamber occupied by adults.

Maybe she won’t be there because she’ll be in Gitmo.

The State of the Union will be a much better place with Maxine gone.

Trump and America wins when there is no Mad Maxine there.

My sources tell me that Trump had a severe attack of the vapors when he heard this

and was helicoptered to a secret US military installation where had to be heavily sedated and put in retraints for his own protection.

That is really a shame that her mother could not have an abortion. (sarcasm)

And this is important enough to be considered "news" for what reason?

This isn't even "fake" news.

This is "not" news.

It’s past her bedtime anyway. Sundowners sets in by the time it even starts.

I read where Nasty Peeloosley is encouraging her sister hags in the House to wear black. Guess it could be worse......like P@@@y hats but I don’t want to give them any ideas. That last SOTU address was shameful with those Demonrat hags making fools of themselves and I hope America will wake up to the utter disrespect they display and how it has no place in a civil society........but I fear that ship has sailed........sigh
