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."

So what? They won’t be missed. It shows only what sore losers they are and that they have no concern for what is best for this country.

Maybe they’re staying away because they’ve recruited someone to fly a jetliner into the Capital Building.

President Trump should then fill all their seats with members of the Military and law enforcement.

How childish are democrats? Our tax money is paying for these people to act like cry babies? Can we get these politicians’ pay changed from salary to hourly? Don’t show up = don’t get paid.

If Democrats shut down the government, President Trump should cancel the State of the Union in Congress. He can give it to the American people from the White House.

Excellent precedent. Hopefully all democrats will boycott. Then, the next time there is a dem president, all republicans can boycott him (or her or it or they or whatever as the case may be). We can all quit pretending that we don’t absolutely despise each other. Should actually improve the national discourse if we just start shooting and quit talking altogether.

The entire SCOTUS including the two appointed by Clinton boycotted his SOTU speech after he submitted the false document to the Arkansas court

What about Sheila Jackass Lee? For years, she would grab an aisle seat so that she could glad-hand the then current President, Republican or Democrat, as he walked down the aisle.

Less smell of sulfur would make the SOTU much more pleasant to attend.

I’m betting that our President will be pleased if they do shut it down, because I believe he has already figured out how to turn their gross stupidity to his advantage BIGLY!

If the Left doesn’t watch out; it’ll soon be lacking support in many more quarters than it is now; for such an obsession with hate will eventually devour your souls and cause those you hold dear to abandon you.

On the flip side, Jesus was recorded as having said...


Luke 12:53

They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.

Nicely handled. Also love the follow up verse. Daughter is going to hear
That one tonight whether she likes it or not.

“The State of the Union is powerfully strong so much so that Democrats could not take it. As you can clearly see they had to run away from the good news that America is achieving”

Then he should list the successes but refer to the empty seats please more than once would be great!

The best way to counter this is to use the empty seats as a prop to illustrate the Democrat’s lack of leadership. Beat them over the head repeatedly with the empty seats.
