SOTU 2026



“… Every member of this House represents more than 750,000 people. They’re disenfranchised if you’re not sitting in your seat to fulfill the role and responsibility of Congress.…”

It is televised on every major network. How am I disenfranchised if my Rep skips it?

My general inclination is to suggest that politicians forego that kind of empty posturing but they’re politicians, it’s what they do. I would rather they skip it than yell stupid shit from the gallery.

Give me an f'ing break. Not attending a speech is not disenfranchising. Disenfranchising is denying a new member their seat for 7 weeks; disenfranchising is calling a recess to avoid votes. Talk about gaslighting! Holy crap!
 
I am torn whether Dems should be a no show for the shit show.

On the one hand a no show would be a principled protest about what this corrupt imbecile has wrought upon our country
On the other hand a no show would make for bad optics and distract the media and the country from focusing upon how Trump's address signals our march to autocracy
