Here come the WOMEN in black: Democrats show how they will protest Trump tonight – with badges commemorating African-American rape victim Recy Taylor honored by Oprah at the Golden Globes

Democratic women - and some men too - posed for a photo showing off their all-black attire that they'll be wearing to tonight's State of the Union address

The Democrats are sporting black after the women of Hollywood did the same, paying respects to victims of sexual assault and harassment at this year's Golden Globes awards

The rape survivor turned activist Recy Taylor, who Oprah Winfrey paid homage to in her Golden Globes speech, is being honored by the Democrats too, as many of them are sporting pink 'RECY' pins Hours before the State of the Union address, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi gathered together her fellow Democratic women – and some men too – for a photo-op, as they showed off their black outfits for tonight.

The lawmakers were taking a page from the women of Hollywood, who sported black gowns to the Golden Globes to pay homage to the 'Me Too' and 'Time's Up' movements.

The Democrats followed the lead of Oprah Winfrey too, who had brought up the rape and subsequent activism of the late Recy Taylor.

For the State of the Union, the lawmakers sported pink 'RECY' pins too.

Pelosi, according to Politico, thought the wardrobe revolt was enough of a message, as she also instructed her members not to walk out of the speech or make a commotion.

'Let the attention be on his slobbering self,' Pelosi said of President Trump, who delivers his first official State of the Union tonight. 'If you walk out, don't come in.'

"...looked like a Wiccan meeting on the RAT side..."

They looked like the loser assh*les that we know they are.

But... here's a cheerful thought for ya...

Ready?

Here it comes...

Wait for it...

It wasn't HILLARY giving the SOTU!!!

Can I get a "BWAHAHAHA!" from everyone here..

The only thing that would have made the “funeral dirge” on the RAT side of the room complete, would to have had them bring Hillary’s corpse in on a board complete with a suicide vest, and have had it go off! Boom! Allah Snackbar!

Thanks to you and other FReepers for the laughs tonight.

I was not quite prepared for some of the photos and comments and had to clean off the keyboard a couple of times.

Someone should tell these old beeches that black makes you look much older after 50.

Thanks again for the giggles. Bless all you Freepers with such great talent and amazing sense of humor.

Seeing that photo, with George Washington in the background, I figured he must have some quote, and upon saying it, would extend out his had and say "For example" at the end of the quote. Many would fit, but this one popped out: “However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” ― George Washington

Schumer sat with his shoulders hunched and when he looked up at the camera he looked like a bad kid caught pushing down old ladies. Nancy looked to be in a depressed pout.

Loved the SOTU! Trump took a few "slaps" by holding his hand out to the Dems to stand for things they claim to stand for and was able to rub it in w/o direct statements because of his past comments.....Masterful!!!

MAGA!!!

[Lumper20]

UGLY.

Maybe not a corpse, but at the VERY least a couple dozen issues of the NewsWeak “Madam President” magazine that they had pre-printed.

And THEN light them up... A perfect representation of her political career.

I think the theme song for her is “Burn Baby Burn”... or better yet “I’m a Loser”.
