Tonight's the Night
Just say no, and pass this on to
Tonight at 9 PM EST, Trump will begin his so-called State of the Union (SOTU) speech, but it won’t be about the SOTU. It will be about HIM and what he’s doing to wreck our country. I suggest you boycott.
But if you choose to watch, I suggest you first read this quote I am sharing below with permission from a dear friend of mine. At the end, I will add some suggestions on what you should say to the TV as you watch.
“George Washington, in warning about the institution of the presidency, and the Framers, in writing the Constitution, were careful to pit men’s ambitions against each other so no individual could gain enough power to become a tyrant. Their foresight held strong enough that GOP senators warned Republican President Nixon that the House would impeach him for obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of Congress for the Watergate break-in.
“They told Nixon: “The House would impeach and the Senate would convict.” Nixon resigned.
“Now, the GOP has fallen into the trap Washington warned against, and the Constitution sought to prevent. They’ve placed party over country. Fierce partisanship has led them to seek absolute power through an individual who “turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty”… just as Washington predicted. They’ve replaced their prerogatives as the Majority in Congress with loyalty to Trump. How does it end?
“Only when “we, the people,” make it end. When every single person who enabled Trump is held accountable. Not with a slap on the wrist, but with trials conducted by serious people with moral clarity and the legal authority to match the scale of the damage done.”
If you’re watching on TV, note all those Republican lapdogs, dutifully cheering our traitorous president. Then, pretend you’re at a big sports game, and the losing side needs to be mocked. Our loser president, as he tries to destroy our great nation, needs to hear the truth, so SHOUT at the TV, and write your newspaper and your social media. Try these for shouting at the TV and our corrupt president:
Where’s the money?
—This would be that $200 billion in tariffs, he collected illegally. It’s our money. We paid for it every time we shopped.
Fire Kristi Noem; stop ICE today and forever!
Stop the measles epidemic! First JFK Jr.
Leave ICELAND alone!
NO WAR in Iran!
Release ALL the Epstein Files!
Have more ideas? Feel free to share in the comments, and later, hold those Republicans who made a mockery of SOTU by clapping ever so politely as Trump spouts all his outrageous claims.
