4 big ways Democrats plan to protest Trump's State of the Union
by Laura Barrón-López | Jan 30, 2018, 12:01 AM

Democrats are readying a number of demonstrations to protest President Trump's first State of the Union address on Tuesday night.

A number of Democratic women will wear black in solidarity with sexual assault and harassment survivors, sending a message that the time is up for politicians who have used their power to engage in sexual misconduct. At least seven members are boycotting the address, and many are bringing recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program as their guests.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus members will wear "migrating butterfly" stickers in solidarity with "immigrants and refugees after a year of Trump's attacks," according to one aide.


Mariposa is a Spanish word for butterfly, but also a Mexican slang term for homos.

These are considered "big" ways? They are lame, pathetic and ineffectual. No one in the real world will notice any of them.

Viewers of CNN will certainly notice...the hate talkers will be sure to point out every idiotic gesture while focusing the cameras on them.  Looking forward to getting a look at Kennedy's kook date for the night.

To sum up @TheDemocrats activities today: Try to keep info from the public, make sure 20-week-old unborn babies can be killed, and disparage tax cuts for the middle class as a "dark cloud." Who the hell are these people?
Yep.

The Me Too protest should have Trump shaking in his shoes.   :silly:

I don’t think either of them could find gayer poses if they tried.

Well the bad news for CNN today is that one of CNN's 3 viewers got arrested last night for beating his boyfriend and punching a goat.

The Congressional Black Caucus is debating whether they will boycott or engage in a demonstration during the president’s address. A few members have floated the idea of walking out in the middle of the speech or holding fists in the air while Trump is speaking or wearing Kente cloths in silent protest. A Democratic aide said CBC members are still deciding what actions they’ll take.


May I suggest they all stand in protest during the speech and strike various poses from the painting shown in the closing credits of Good Times.

I think they should show up wearing not just Kente cloth but Fulani braids.

Now there's an idea Open Society Foundations should get behind.

Should be interesting.   Remember how outraged they were at the simple phrase "you lie"

So they are going to wear outfits from South Ghana to protest? That's cultural appropriation. They would be well advised to wear outfits that celebrate their own culture....

Yeah, I'd better tape it.  There'll have to be some moments.  Little Kennedy does have the look.
