Rec this if you won't be watching the SOTU tonight.....

[Heartstrings]

It's my birthday so hell to the no.....

I will be watching Joe Kennedy III and Maxine for their rebuttals, however......

[hlthe2b]

1. What time to tune in for Joe and Maxine?

[thbobby]

98. As painful as it is

When trump is babbling it can help to just mute him. Just looking at his putrid head is still torture.

[northoftheborder]

115. Cannot watch; just mute, and glance at screen intermittently to know when Kennedy & others come on.

[lagomorph777]

2. I'm watching The Curse of Oak Island.

It's a bit of a fantasy about Knights Templar, secret societies, alternative history, etc.

In other words, a whole lot more real than anything Trump ever says.

[LakeArenal]

76. Instead of "Curse of the Free World"?

[Faux pas]

3. Kickin' with gusto!

[janterry]

4. There is no way I could stand it

Honestly, I just can't put myself through that.

[UpInArms]

5. I would rather watch paint dry

nt

[KPN]

6. BOYCOTT the fucking thing!

Dessimate the "ratings". Stick a metaphorical knife in him!

[Capperdan]

139. YES

Let it be the Least viewed speech ever!

[johnp3907]

7. Two periods of hockey then off to bed.

I’ll read about it on DU in the morning—best analysis anywhere!

[luvtheGWN]

21. I'll be watching my Toronto Raptors play the timberwolves tonight.

Absolutely cannot abide Dolt45's face, nor his voice and especially the way he pronounces "our" as OUWER. But since you cannot believe a single thing he does say, then really, what's the point?

[CousinIT]

8. It's my birthday too! So HELL TO THE NOOOO ...

... somebody would have to pay me a LOT of money to listen to that evil cretin today of all days. I'll be watching or listening to Auntie Maxine and Joey Kennedy.

[LittleGirl]

9. I can't watch it

Honestly, I can barely stand to watch the clips of him on the news. I can read up on the highlights later. I'm sure there will be plenty of that.
when he raises his hand and puts his thumb and forefinger together to make a circle, I want to lose my freaking mind. why does he do that?
I can't watch that shithole face spews his lies.

[Marthe48]

35. the rubes are hypnotized by the hand motions

and don't listen to the bs

[homegirl]

104. The tell tale circle

When Trump makes that circle with his thumb and forefinger---that's his tell--he is lying! And its usually a BIG one!

[not fooled]

126. Isn't the OK gesture also a white supremacist sign now?

[link:https://theoutline.com/post/1428/the-ok-sign-is-becoming-an-alt-right-symbol?zd=1|


That would explain why shitler does it so much. Also useful for mesmerizing rubes.

[TNNurse]

10. We will watch a movie.

We do not listen to sound bites on the news, why would we listen to a speech? Is he going to brag about himself as he does every other time he speaks about anything????
ari
I prefer elected officials who have knowledge and are able to explain themselves with a more varied vocabulary.

[PunksMom]

11. Im sick enough with a bad cold,

Watching “him” would just make me sicker.
I’ll watch Joe Kennedy though, and hope that he can make me feel better.

[mountain grammy]

12. No, I'll be watching Bill Maher

I've saved last Friday's show for tonight.. Then, I be spending the rest of the evening listening to Joe Kennedy, Maxine Water, Bernie Sanders, and anyone else who speaks out against this monsterous corruption that got us here. I've read here that a newly elected Democrat from VA will also speak and there will also be a response in Spanish (which I don't speak, but will watch.)

[Old Vet]

75. Iam gonna smoke a few bowels and watch the SOTU, Then Joe Kennedy, ..........

If I can stay awake Iam gonna watch Jimmy Kimmel talk to Stomy Daniels.

[mountain grammy]

79. Oh, thanks for the reminder. I will be smoking a few bowls as well.

And also watching Stormy on Kimmel, if I'm still awake.

[jmbar2]

86. bowels are not made for smoking...

could be painful.

[ChazInAz]

100. Sure they are.

Hence the derivation of the term: "Blowing smoke up your ass", which describes any "Speech" by Trump.

[jmbar2]

111. you have me convinced...

[lunatica]

137. LOL!

You just can’t argue with that!

[Big_K]

168. I'm on Slate.com watching the "Left-Leaning Tweets"

Which are coming fast and furious, and some of which are pretty funny. My wife is watching the original King Kong on the Tee-Vee.

[bronxiteforever]

13. No way. I am Invoking the Geneva Convention against torture

[Freddie]

14. Watching a few more episodes of The Crown

Times I wish we had a Queen. A leader (perhaps symbolic) of the entire nation and not just those who voted for you.

[Hugin]

15. Seeing the event tent and countdown clock on Faux & Frauds kind of put me out of the mood.

Oddly, I don't remember such an extravaganza for ANY previous President and I do remember someone yelling, "You lie!" at Obama's SOTU.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. None of it.

[Generic Brad]

17. I'll be binge watching 'Cheers' instead

I would rather watch a comforting old comedy than get all riled up tonight. This is an important week for me personally and I do not need the added stress of Trump and the GOP to distract me.

[NoMoreRepugs]

18. I am just to WELL to attend.

[PatrickforO]

19. I'll be watching the rebuttal.

[IronLionZion]

20. It's fake news!

It would be interesting to have record low viewership and then hear him claim the opposite

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. Can't. "King Kong" is on (the real 1933 one, not the remake).

But then, I might watch Perry Mason humiliate Hamilton Burger once again. Or watch the hilarious antics of Gomer Pyle, USMC. Or catch up on the latest Wonder Hussy adventures on YouTube. There's a lot to do rather than watch Comrade President wag his willy in front of Congress.

If anything interesting happens, I'm sure it'll be noted here tomorrow.

[MoonRiver]

23. No way! Happy Birthday Heartstrings, despite the obnoxious side events!

[Heartstrings]

38. Thank you, MoonRiver!

[Butterflylady]

24. I don't watch liars,

I have no respect for dotard and besides that why subject myself to this embarrassing performance. He actually makes me physically ill just seeing or hearing him.

[jalan48]

25. I never intentionally watch Trump but I will tonight.We're in dangerous times and I want to see

what the enemy is saying.

[beaglelover]

26. I have no intention of watching the liar in chief.

[Farmer-Rick]

27. He's preempting Rachel

And she's on with that very boring man Brian Williams before and after the idiot stumbles and bubbles with his words. Then there is the Democratic response. I'll record it then fast forward thrugh the idiot and hope Brian Williams doesn't put me to sleep.

[lpbk2713]

28. I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow. I'll have other things to do.

Anyway, I'd rather get it up the a** by my doctor than by Trump any time.

[MontanaMama]

36. I'm scheduled for one today too.

I won't be watching the SOTU because Dotard makes me more nauseous than the prep for this procedure. I will tune into to JOe and Maxine however. Good luck to you today lpbk2713.

[lpbk2713]

51. Thanks MM

It will be my second, so at least I will know what to expect. I hope all goes well for you too.

[MontanaMama]

62. This is my first.

I can't say this is any fun at all.

[bdamomma]

90. ...........

[Old Vet]

99. Hey Lpbk, try to fight the medicine at first........

Did that on my 50th birthday colonoscopy and they done fucked me up as a football bat. I figured for all the agony I went thru preparing they need to bring the good drugs out(hehe) Boy they brought it to. My wife was pissed cause she had to wait so long for me to stop dribbling on myself, Try to make the best of it and hoping all is clear..

[lpbk2713]

132. Best I can remember ...

I was asking them when they were going to start. Next thing I knew I was hearing a nurse calling my name in the recovery room. I had a good nap when I got home though.

[ehrnst]

29. Joe and Maxine! (nt)

[Tripper11]

30. Need to sleep for work....

...besides, there is no way I could handle 5 minutes of that idiots word salad extraordinaire!

I'll read the low lights later the next day.

[angrychair]

31. He can piss off

I’m sick and have no patience for that shit throwing moron. I got other more pleasant things to do...”remember to schedule root canal with no pain medication for tonight”

[DUgosh]

32. Murder in Paradise

At least three episodes

[dewsgirl]

33. Happy Birthday!

[Heartstrings]

37. Thank you, dewsgirl!

[elmac]

34. movie night nt

[LakeArenal]

39. The would have to...

Clockwork Orange me to watch...

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Clockwork+Orange+2+Girls&&view=detail&mid=EFC0B527DC86F02BB296EFC0B527DC86F02BB296&&FORM=VDRVRV

Happy Birthday, Scuzzy....

[Heartstrings]

42. Thank you LA....

[LongTomH]

40. I'll be watching Drunk History on Comedy Central.......

............the drunk narrators make more sense!!!!



I will of course turn to the various Democratic responses, when they're available.

[Marthe48]

41. I have to clean the litter boxes

so I have enough s**t to deal with

[mn9driver]

43. Not a chance.

[LakeArenal]

44. On the other hand:

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Rarre+Beatles+Happy+Birthday+site%3ayoutube.com&view=detail&mid=0290955F72C60E785A2E0290955F72C60E785A2E&FORM=VIRE

[Heartstrings]

48. Awwww......thanks!

Nothing better than the boys singing to ME!

[redstateblues]

45. Ugh. Cant stand the sound of his voice.

[OldHippieChick]

46. Tuesday is "Chopped" night on

the Food Network, so I can't be bothered w/ dog food.

[Enoki33]

47. Will not be watching. Discovered when he was a mere

talk show host that the con offends my digestion.

[Roland99]

49. 99 recs on the wall. 99 recs on the wall....

[barbtries]

50. i may watch this instead:

https://ourfuture.org/20180130/women-take-the-stage-for-the-state-of-our-union

but i'm sure i'll be getting the blow by blow on twitter, and tomorrow watching the late shows.

[Jersey Devil]

52. Will be shooting pool and listening to music

Watching him would be self destructive.

[OregonBlue]

53. I saved a couple of episodes of Vikings just for tonight!! Will be so much more fun.

[Neema]

54. There aren't enough rubles in the world.

In other words, hell to the no.

[Blue1963]

55. I am incapable of watching him for 2 minutes

without losing it.

[SpankMe]

56. I'll be going to the gym

I'll avoid the TV monitors while working out.

[robbedvoter]

57. Course not, but Maxine Waters I'd love to! can someone point the way for a no cable viewer

to get it? I read about the BET app, but as I don't have cable... Help! Also, if you don't know, starts at 10:00!

[hobby10113]

58. Ill be watching paint dry.

Besides I can’t stand his voice.

[marlakay]

59. Makes me sick to hear his voice

So no not watching. I mute him whenever he comes on the news.

I feel like I am holding my breath waiting for this to all be over like a bad nightmare.

[NCDawg]

60. HBO,...West World Series,...

THW Tiny Fingers McDotard and his enablers!!!

[redstatebluegirl]

61. Bullwinkle cartoons for us.

They are our go-to dvd's during the republican convention and anytime Trump is on for something like the SOTU. Appropriate since Boris and Natasha are part of the cartoon.

[irisblue]

63. No. I'll be warching Firefly DVDs while he's on.

I'll will tune into NPR whrn Rep Kennedy speaks though.
2 Mal Reynolds quotes for today.
~~~ "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back!"
~~~ .."might have been the loosing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.”
damn conservatives & a bunch of republicans as well.

[samnsara]

64. same here.. what time does everything start?

[geardaddy]

65. Happy birthday!

And I will also not be watching.

[Heartstrings]

66. Thank you, geardaddy!

[Atman]

67. It's like a NASCAR race with a 15 year with a learners permit in the lead car.

How can you NOT watch. Gonna be some spectacular wrecks.

[kpete]

68. mr pete and i

have decided to get drunk

seems appropriate


kp

[Cryptoad]

69. Shame to all elected officals that attend!

[El Shaman]

70. Only

if Stormy shows up.

[NRaleighLiberal]

71. Life's too short for such misery. We don't watch TV anyway. Movie night every night!

[roscoeroscoe]

72. Not on Tatoosday!

Inkmasters, Chopped, Vikings.

We can't watch the news anymore at home. Yech.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

73. I never watch no matter who gives it.

[treestar]

74. I'll read it later

Can't listen to that annoying Orange voice.

[llmart]

77. Of course not!

Nothing that ignoramus says interests me and almost all of it will be lies anyway.

Glad I have Netflix.

[FailureToCommunicate]

78. Seems like a good time to re watch "All the Preident's Men" and maybe a West Wing

episode or two, till Joe K and Maxine are on for the rebuttals.

Happy Birthday, Heartstrings!

[Heartstrings]

82. Thank you, FailureToCommunicate!

[Tikki]

80. Four here won't be...we will be sharing QUALITY family time instead...

The Tikkis

[47of74]

81. Yeah I'd rather operate on myself with a chainsaw than watch that orange idiot blow hard LOSER

[CanonRay]

83. Not me, I get enough Orange Moron on the news.

[alterfurz]

84. "I'm skipping the State of the Union...

... but I'll definitely watch the impeachment." -- Andy Borowitz

[Lifelong Protester]

123. Best yet!-I won't be watching.

Can't stand his voice or lies.

[triron]

85. It would make me sick. Of course not.

[bdamomma]

87. no I will not be watching

I will be here seeing what brave souls who will be watching. You have my sympathy.

Oops Happy Birthday

[Heartstrings]

118. Thank you, bdamomma!

[hwmnbn]

88. Hell NO!!!

[a kennedy]

89. Ditto to both.....

Not watching tRump AND Watching Mr. Kennedy III

[sarge43]

91. I have standards

I'd go to the geek show at a third rate carnie first.

[Soxfan58]

92. Go on netflix

And stream a SOTU West Wing episode.

[evilhime]

93. Practicing my flute

Much better use of my time... I'll tune in late for Joe and Maxine or the recaps of their speeches.

[NewJeffCT]

94. The Flash and Black Lightning are on tonight

two shows that are more realistic than whatever Trump is talking about.

[Amimnoch]

95. All channels showing it have parental controls locking out the station in my home.

NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, CNN Fox News, Fox Business and MSNBC are the channels showing it in the guide.

I've put in a 1 week parental controls lock out on each of those stations until tomorrow to make sure I don't help their ratings one bit even while skimming channels.

(although Faux news "entertainment", and Fox business have been blocked on my receiver for years.)

[FoxNewsSucks]

96. If only the Animal Channel would

have a show which is the equivalent of Puppy Bowl for those who don't watch the Super Bowl.

"State of the Puppy", I'd watch that, then all the rebuttals.

[Pacifist Patriot]

97. I have some important reading to do.

[Gothmog]

101. I have better things to do than listening to trump

I will watch Congressman Joe Kennedy and Congresswoman Waters

[Sneederbunk]

102. Will be spending time with a certain Voodoo doll.

[klook]

103. Definitely not,

although I'll be interested to hear tomorrow if there was any interesting drama.

[wendyb-NC]

105. Absolutely not watching, ...

or listening to the "Faux", poison the airwaves tonight. He is a revolting menace and needs to go, along with his whole pack of henchmen, and rabble rousers.
I'll probably read, and hang out with my pets, instead. I do want to watch Maxine and Joe Kennedy III, and check DU and Daily Kos, tomorrow morning.

[Honeycombe8]

106. It would get me too upset and angry. The Dem politicians shouldn't go, either. nt

[bdamomma]

125. total boycott

would speak volumes and then they could send in Marshall's to arrest them all, wouldn't that be A sight!! They will be all there.

[Javaman]

107. I told my GF...

either I watch or huff paint fumes, the results would be the same LOL

[Caliman73]

108. Not watching.

I have watched a number of them, even under Bush II, but I can't waste that time in my life right now to listen to a complete idiot lie. Can't do it.

[awesomerwb1]

109. What a birthday present to be getting ;)

I won't be watching, but I will watch the reply by kennedy.

I can almost hear the alt-right nutters go crazy about another Kennedy getting some notoriety.

[GoneOffShore]

110. Rather stick needles in my eyes.

Besides it's going to be past my bedtime here in Aix.

[RoBear]

112. I plan to find other diversions...

I notice that TCM is showing King Kong, followed by The Producers.

Science Fiction/Fantasy, followed by a story of scam artists.

A master stroke of programming if you ask me!!!

[Tarc]

113. Not only no but hell no.

I may look for somewhere that liveblogs it, like Jezebel.com, but no. Listening to the voice of that Cheetos-hued fascist drone on with a 3rd-grade vocabulary and empty, dumbed-down rhetoric is not something I'd engage in willingly.

[dreamland]

114. Only if I can find a barf bag big enough

..because I'm gonna puke as soon as he opens his mouth.

[Martin Eden]

116. I won't watch because TVs are expensive

There's no way I wouldn't hurl something hard & heavy at the TV when Donnie Shithole is enthusiastically applauded.

Then I would just plain hurl.

Hard & heavy.

Cleaning the carpet would suck.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

117. Far too many toilet paper tubes to sort and grade.

Further, I much continue my quest for sources of diet water.

Let's make this the least watched SOTU in history.

.....................

[Boomer]

119. Can't pay me enough

All I can bear these days is to read about Trump. Seeing him.... too much. Not going there.

[GETPLANING]

120. I'm waiting up for Stormy Daniels

on Jimmy Kimmel

[SouthernIrish]

122. Not watching.

I will cuddle with my dogs and maybe do some yoga. I will watch the rebuttal from Kennedy though.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

121. Happy CAKEday!!!

And NO, that disgusting face is not and will never be welcomed into my home!!!

[Heartstrings]

131. Thank you BlancheSplanhnik!

[phylny]

124. No, no, no.

Watching “The Office” off my DVR.

[unblock]

127. i'm washing my hair then. when is it again?

[chillfactor]

128. I will not be watching either...

I will watch Joe Kennedy and the MSNBC after coverage however.

[not fooled]

129. Nope

gotta clean my toenails, an infinitely more entertaining and constructive use of the time.

[mvd]

130. Might have it muted so I know..

when the Democratic response is. I can't bear to see or hear The Con.

[CatMor]

133. No, I won't be watching

Happy Birthday!!

[Heartstrings]

135. Thank you CatMor!

[workinclasszero]

134. I will watch the democratic response only

I don't give a damn what the lying lawless traitor-in-chief has to say about anything!

[BigMin28]

136. I refuse

to listen to the little sniveler. He is either whining or bragging. And lying.

[Timer]

138. Teleprompter Don is almost as sickening as Wingin' It Don. nt

[democrank]

140. Not watching Trump

Will watch responses

[GetRidOfThem]

141. other plans..

Watching the last episode of PBS's Victoria....

[ancianita]

142. Can't.

[Wolf Frankula]

143. No I won't be watching the tRump

"Talking poo is where I draw the line!"

Wolf

[Corvo Bianco]

144. Happy birthday.

Hell to the no as well I can't watch orange treason mania

[Heartstrings]

149. Thank you, Corcoran Bianco!

[Perseus]

145. I intend to have a big dinner and just watching

the man-child's face makes my stomach turn, so NO I will not watch the State of the Union, he won't be saying anything that is true anyway, and the thought of watching Pence and Ryan salivate while looking at the man-child is detrimental to my health.

I understand that a simple "No" would have sufficed, but I had to get it out of my system.

[Lucinda]

146. Trumpy's voice makes my skin crawl...so I'm out. Will watch DU and Twitter to

see what happens.
The past several weeks have been horrible for me, health-wise...I am just not up to watching Cadet Bone Spurs.

[Cha]

147. Happy Birthday, Heartstrings!!

I'll be watching Joe Kennedy and Maxine, too!

[Heartstrings]

148. Thank you, Cha!

[Rhiannon12866]

150. Colbert and The Daily Show will also be live after the "speech"

For once, we have a lot to look forward to, all the rebuttals plus watching comedians skewer Trump!

Consider all this a wonderful birthday present! Wishing you a great day!

[Heartstrings]

159. Thank you Rhiannon12866!

[Vinca]

151. I'd rather clean turds out of the litter box.

[bermudat]

152. Refuse to watch Putin's puppet,

even worse to watch the MSM fellate him for being presidential.?!^%!!
Going to rent and watch Girls Trip from Red Box.

[Kristofer Bry]

153. "The state of our nation is YUUUGE!"

I think I'll pass.

[asiliveandbreathe]

154. Hell no - Happy Birthday Heartstrings..mine was yesterday!!! eom

[Heartstrings]

158. Thank you, asiliveandbreathe!

Happy belated Birthday to you!

[SoCalMusicLover]

155. I Have Some Dead Skin I've Been Meaning To Scrape Off

Seems like the perfect opportunity.

[MrPurple]

156. My IQ would drop 15 points if I listened to the dotard for 60 straight minutes

[lindalou65]

157. HELL NO! I won't be watching the SOTU

K&R! I may listen to the Joe Kennedy or to Bernie Sanders rebuttals. As so many here have pointed out, I cannot watch this con man speak because he is a disgusting human being.

[AllaN01Bear]

160. wont be watcing as i dont have cable , nor will i be watching via live stream.

every time i see that man i want to puke . and rec.

[LeftInTX]

161. Our local Democratic Party is having a debate - LOL

Two candidates are running for DA...it will be on Facebook live.
My city council rep is having a town hall...it will also be on Facebook live.

There is also an immigration event that is currently being livestreamed, I can also watch later.


More important things to watch than Cheeto.

[hay rick]

162. I'm a maybe.

I'm torn between watching the SOTU, elective surgery, and self-mutilation.

[ailsagirl]

163. I see TCM has an appropriate movie on tonight-- think I'll watch it

King Kong

[StTimofEdenRoc]

164. It maybe be a historic event Trumps first and last SOTU

[triron]

165. watching figure skating on the olympics channel

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

166. King Kong on TCM

[joet67]

167. When is the last time a thread got 430 rec's so quickly? Shunning Drumpf bigly!

[utopian]

169. Watching Basketball n.t.

[Beacool]

170. I refuse to watch the repugnant man.

I watched Guardians of the Galaxy and I'm now watching an old episode of Criminal Minds. I'll watch the news at 11 and get the excerpts.

[SCVDem]

171. You tube vids

and last nights Colbert.

Also some local news. Ooh! A helicopter crash!

When is this orange bastard going to shut up?! To the rebuttals!

[IGoToDU]

172. Rec

Rec with bells on!! I was at an event tonight with children singing about healing the world. I couldn't stop thinking about what a sharp contrast and hoping there's still a democracy left for us and most importantly them. Sending all of you
