Rec if you're not watching the SOTU tonight......

[Heartstrings]

nope, no way.....watching snow melt here....

Will watch Dem rebuttal, and Colbert (for the folly highlights).....

[Gothmog]

1. I will not watch the SOTU

[Larrybanal]

70. why bother?

we have all heard all his brags and that is all will be unless he does the crazy emergency bit and then it will be the only thing to watch over and over for days

[williesgirl]

2. Rebuttal, yes.

[NotHardly]

34. I'm with you

[LenaBaby61]

54. "Rebuttal, yes."

THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[Glamrock]

3. I'll be putting a possum and some silverware in the dryer.

Should be a much more soothing sound than Comrade Combover's voice and Adderol sniffles

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. K&R. Thread winner!

..........

[Glamrock]

20. Danka

[diane in sf]

31. Lololol

[Bob Loblaw]

88. Perfect time to break out that

Do-it-yourself root canal kit I've been saving. Sure, it's a little rusty and I'm out of nitrous but if not tonight, when?

[47of74]

132. Or the rusty chainsaw home castration kit

And take care of both at the same time.

[Bob Loblaw]

137. Gotta hold something back

In case he's still around next year.

[KPN]

4. No. And I won't watch it tomorrow night

either!

[Control-Z]

6. Look at the time stamp on the OP, KPN.

Hehe

[KPN]

7. I did. It said 9:12pm.

[Control-Z]

9. Really? Mine said 12:12

And I'm on the west coast. Weird. There must be an option somewhere to show real time for every poster.

[KPN]

10. There is. You can select your time zone

in My Account.

[Control-Z]

12. Yeah, I have my own selected and can see that it's accurate.

But the OP shows a 3 hour difference. There must be an option for that, is what I was saying.

[Control-Z]

5. I see what you did there.

Lol.

[Awsi Dooger]

8. Curling tapes

There was a World Cup event in Sweden last week. I watched the women's final but not yet the men's or mixed. That will substitute nicely.

Only one of them has stones

[gopiscrap]

11. I won't watch but how will we know when he's done

I want to hear Stacy Abrahms

[moonscape]

22. I'm going to Tivo it and will

FF in 15 min increments until I get to Abrams.

Abrams though will surely be up on YouTube pretty quickly.

[gopiscrap]

44. ok thanks

will some on here watch it and report in in case anything really interesting happens?

[LakeArenal]

13. 🥵 🤢 😱 Nope. Salient points on MSNBC for next three days.

Until Dump opens his pie hole about some other lies.

[marlakay]

14. Not watching

Can’t stand a single second of Trump.

Will try to find dem response later hopefully will be posted here.

[Traildogbob]

50. No way

I will watch a recording of the Super Bowl in slow motion for some more exciting entertainment.

[montana_hazeleyes]

97. LOL!

[Roland99]

16. I'll be busy working. A benefit of being on the west coast this month

[iluvtennis]

17. Trump-no, Stacey Abrams - yes

[KY_EnviroGuy]

18. I prefer listening to self-administered root canals....

while watching YouTube videos of car wrecks and Tammy Faye Bakker sermons......

[Glamrock]

26. Wow!

Don't hold back, Guy! Tell us how you really feel about watching the Sotu.

[Thekaspervote]

33. Ha... that's a good one!

[LibDemAlways]

19. I would rather be subjected to an actual

toddler throwing a high pitched screaming, crying, kicking tantrum than watch one second of the baby in chief doing the same. No thanks. I'll look for the rebuttal on line.

[airplaneman]

21. Not watching here

I cant imagine him saying anything I would want to hear. I will listen to the reaction and opinions of others afterwords though.
-Airplane

[Shrike47]

23. Not watching. I'd rather play World of Warcraft.

[TalenaGor]

30. m/ I was playing ESO :-)

[Ananda62]

24. His voice irritates me

Anytime he’s on tv, I change the channel. So, no, I’m not watching the SOTU.

[Blue Owl]

25. Nyet.

[TalenaGor]

27. was that tonight?

I seriously didn't know lol
Wouldn't have watched anyway

[deurbano]

28. Time will be better spent celebrating Lunar New Year!

Here in San Francisco, it's a school holiday. But I will definitely watch the rebuttal, even if not in real time.

Happy Year of the Pig!

[Dem2theMax]

29. No. It's belly button lint night. Much more important.

[Aussie105]

32. Sanity break.

Most people on this forum value their sanity too much to watch someone who has lost his.

Good sanity break to NOT take any notice.

Trump has talked himself into a state of irrelevancy.

Collecting belly button fluff is probably a more worthwhile way to spend your time.

. . . . just sayin'.

[robleb]

35. Nope

[calimary]

124. Welcome to DU, robleb!

Eager to see Stacey Abrams.

I have it on in the background but can't hear much. Got a looloo of a cold and so I'm hacking a lot. But the visuals are enjoyable - seeing all the women in white, and Madame Speaker seated in that exalted position.

Also enjoying the non-responses on the Democratic side of the aisle. NOBODY should be standing or clapping AT ALL.

[Rhiannon12866]

36. I hope to be home in time for Stacey Abrams

If I'm early, a repeat of Murder, She Wrote must be on somewhere. I got reacquainted with that show, watched it with my grandmother, when Trump showed up on TV during the campaign!

And yes! Stephen Colbert is doing a live show post-SOTU!

[49jim]

37. Watching Syracuse University

basketball game v Florida, 8-10 pm. Go SU

[duforsure]

38. I'll not watch this treasonous traitors

State of his Delusions address because it'll first be filled with lies, and distortions and false claims towards anyone who dare oppose him and putin in any way. He's promoting more division , not unity, and will claim the opposite of the truth , again. He's a lazy dysfunctional loser who got sucked into over borrowing from the russians and putin organized criminals to prop up his mirage he's a billionaire fantasy , and now he goes before the country claiming himself as the greatest President ever for his pr promotion conning people into believing this BS , again. He's a crook, a traitor to this country, and a serial liar and con artist desperately hiding the truth to try to fool the fools he tricked once again that everything he says is to be believed , when again its nothing but more lies , and failures. The Republicans are finished as many , many more people are running from this corrupt group of criminals trying to escape justice coming for them now. They know it too. They just thought the Mid Terms was bad for them. 2020 will be their worse nightmare.

[CousinIT]

39. Hell NO. I will watch the rebuttal though.

[DFW]

40. That's 3 A.M. my time.

I don't think so.

[irisblue]

41. I'm planning on reading more of Faultlines by Kruse & Zelizer.

Contemporary American history, worth the reading time, and listening to CDs till Abrams is on.

[notdarkyet]

102. I'm listening to the snow fall.

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Not A Chance

Too many lies forthcoming.

[colsohlibgal]

43. No Way

I too am anxious to see Stacey’s Rebuttal.

[Johonny]

45. The theme is unity. I.E. blame the democrats for hatred, racism, bigotry etc...

100% victim hood tonight. It should be awful.

[harumph]

46. Really, at this point, who gives a shit what he has to say?

[Martin Eden]

47. I'd rather pour bleach in my eyes than watch a standing applause for this POtuS

Political theater of the worst kind.

[debsy]

48. absolutely no way.

my dumpster-inspired Tourette's syndrome prevents me from saying anything more without being utterly offensive!

[tavernier]

49. Why on earth would I degrade myself like that?

When someone repeatedly lies to my face, I don’t find it entertaining or amusing. I don’t have any time for it.

[doc03]

51. No way I will watch that fool. nt

[Enoki33]

52. Already heard enough lies to last me a lifetime.

[erronis]

53. Text 'SOTU' to 50409 (resist.bot) and you'll get notification when Stacey Abram gives her rebuttal.

[NewJeffCT]

55. nope

I won't watch. I hope I can time it correctly to watch the rebuttal

[argyl]

56. I'll watch Stacey Abrams.

[QUEST46]

57. I would love to watch it

But decided instead to schedule and emergency root canal without anesthetic.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

58. tempted to have it on mute in order to see Nancy.

[Fritz Walter]

59. Wonder if Netflix is ready for the surge of viewers tonight

When I cut cable in 2014 — telling Bombast to eat shit because of their ever-increasing rates and dreadful customer service — streaming content has been my go-to alternative when the local HD channels (via attic antenna) fail to entertain, inform, enlighten, etc.

So, that’s Plan A: Stream content.
Plan B: pop in a BluRay Disc or DVD from my library of 200+ titles.
Plan C (which can be simultaneous with A or B): hang out here at DU to catch others’ feedback.

[Silver Gaia]

60. I have to work, but wouldn't anyway.

[SpankMe]

61. Not watching

It'll probably be on in my house somewhere as there are others who'll want to watch. But I won't watch.

The reason is that after 2 years of Trump, there is nothing new that he can say that would change my opinion of him or his policies. He and his administration will be the same train wreck after the SOTU as they were before the SOTU. There will be no surprises.

If there was news of some new direction that might be revealed - on the wall, or immigration, or LGBT rights, or his orientation toward our world allies, or a reversal on the tariffs, or anything that would demonstrate a major move in the direction of goodness instead of evil - then I'd watch. But, there's been no such news. He'll be the same Trump after as before.

[George II]

62. I'm going to watch the beginning to see how he acts toward Pelosi. That's about all.

[dawnie51]

63. Not a fan of SOTU speeches.....

even when a sane person delivers them. Certainly not watching the lying con grifter perform.

[bluescribbler]

64. I won't watch.

Celtics v Cavaliers promises to be more entertaining.

[yardwork]

65. I have to clean the cat box instead.

[lostnfound]

72. How Lucky!

In comparison.
The alternative is pure torture.

[NCDawg]

66. BOYCOTTING!!!

Combover Caligula will get no quarter, no attention, no ratings from my household!

[appleannie1943]

67. I will watch the rebuttal though

[CTAtheist]

68. I would, but I have a conflicting appointment.

I need to be rubbing my eyes with sandpaper, as I explode my eardrums with loud music, all while on fire.

It's such a pleasant experience... I mean, compared to listening to the asshat.

[IronLionZion]

69. I'll watch the Dem responses and comedy shows poking fun at it

online later. I cut the cord and don't have cable tv.

[mahina]

71. Oh hell no. I can't afford to break another tv.

I’d rather have a root canal.

[ProudLib72]

73. Not just "No"

but FUCK NO!!!

[yuiyoshida]

74. Playing Monster Hunter tonight!

Link to tweet

[Lifelong Protester]

75. Nope. Will not watch.

Luckily I have a dinner engagement at that time.

[dem4decades]

76. Stephen Miller is not only a racist but a shitty speech writer. Why listen?

[Kahuna7]

77. I'm watching. I want to see him fail at being presidential and

to see how outlandish his lying will get. He's been telegraphing what he believes are his accomplishments.

[Alliepoo]

78. Heck NO!

[pazzyanne]

79. Will not watch the sotu,

but will be watching Kamal Harris' prebuttal and Stacey Abram's rebuttal!

[Initech]

80. I plan to do literally just about anything else!

[xmas74]

81. I don't know yet.

We have an ice storm en route and I volunteered to work intake at the local shelter tonight. I'm only working a couple of hours but it's important,considering how conditions will be.

If I make it home in time I might turn it on for background noise and finish up an embroidery piece.

[raging moderate]

82. About what time does Stacey Abrams speak?

Does anybody know about how long the Orange Man will take up?

[Different Drummer]

83. No need to watch since I already know the union is in a deplorable state.

I'll try to find Stacey's rebuttal online later.

[BigmanPigman]

84. I never watch.

I get too angry and end up giving myself a heart attack.

[bdamomma]

109. me too bigman

I'm watching the Vikings on Netflix, great show.

[BigmanPigman]

125. I opted for The Sting...

I have seen it a million times but at least these con men and grifters are entertaining and meant to be, unlike the grifter-in-chief.

[bagimin]

85. No way Jose

[Sparkly]

86. Not watching.

Might check in on WaPo periodically in case Democrats walk out, heckle. or laugh.

[sarcasmo]

87. A man whore script reading tonight, blah, blah, blah..

[Girl powers]

89. SOTU

No way. I find Donald Trump most remote-able. Will watch Staci, tho. She’s a star. GGP

[samnsara]

90. trumps face isnt allowed on our tv..

….I really want to see Nancy thoooooooo. What time is the rebuttal? Stacy' s that is.

[Warren_Pointe]

91. Hawgball at 8pm.

Vandy comes to Walton Arena.

[Dirty Socialist]

92. Nope

[Scarsdale]

93. No way, no how.

I refuse to watch that preening dumbass. He will applaud himself walking into the chamber the way he always does. Then, one lie after another. No thanks. He is a fraud. The gop owns this orange mistake, 100%

[Perseus]

94. My stomach cannot handle the orange buffoon

So...NO! I will not watch. I will read about it later.

[JoyBugaloo]

95. I cut off my Hulu Live this very day

Only ever watch Colbert anyway - and I can always catch the monologue here

No temptation to flip to the latest blather from The Orange Twit - I'll spend this evening listening to the radio....a lost art these days

[Dirty Socialist]

96. I will be listening to the radio

The Dayton Flyers will play hoops against St. Louis at 9:00

[paleotn]

98. I've not watched one since 2016.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

99. I hope this is the smallest number of SOTU viewers ever.

Followed by the largest number ever for Stacey Abrams rebuttal.

[El Shaman]

100. Watching VHS

recordings of QVC channel from 1999-2011,some Sony Beta too, or about 120 + hours.
Not bad and you can't beat that!!!

[Moebym]

101. I'd rather watch my ceiling fan spin. n/t

[Olafjoy]

103. Netflix and Chill

Then looking forward to Stacey.

[SergeStorms]

104. My blood pressure couldn't take the strain.

And my mind couldn't take the sickening visage of Trump lying to Americans about his "triumphs" and how he's united our country like never before. The lies.....the lies.....

[msdogi]

105. Maybe after

if it becomes necessary for any people in uniform to physically remove him from the stage. That I would watch

[honest.abe]

106. I will read DU posts from those brave souls who suffer through it.

[bdamomma]

107. Not watching

that bastard. But could someone post a thread when Stacey Abrams comes on. Appreciate it.

[ecstatic]

108. Watching the preview on MSNBC, but I set my alarm to change all the channels

at 8:55pm. Not watching the speech. Hopefully someone will alert us all of when it's safe to turn on Stacey Abrams.

[muntrv]

110. I will not watch SOTU.

I will watch this Don instead....https://www.ajc.com/blog/radiotvtalk/bet-american-soul-peers-into-the-world-soul-train-and-don-cornelius/FlP09UUDOMOTWrfhpkQghM/

[Hulk]

111. The WORST admin in history begins to slither in

Sorry...I can’t resist this shit show.

[MadDAsHell]

[unc70]

113. Tar Heels vs NC State

[A Brand New World]

116. I will watch my cock-a-poo's hair grow. Much more interesting,

less stress and no lies! 🐶🙈🙉🙊

[kairos12]

117. I'd rather join on tin foil.

[warmfeet]

118. I would rather watch

a severe attack of diarrhea and vomiting.

Of course, watching one may cause the other.

[FailureToCommunicate]

119. I'll be watching a repeat of the latest Super Bowl. It will be MORE exciting.

[Prof.Higgins]

120. Democratic Party's prize winning Blue Dog is Joe Manchin, West Va. Ugh! n/t

[bearssoapbox]

121. I took an extra Norco at 9.

Maybe by 10 I'll be ready to handle anything to do with him.
In meantime I'm jumping between Miss Peregrine's school for gifted children on FX and
Super8 on BBC America. Don't know about anyone else but I think it's a good movie and am now getting into the movie on FX also.

[Power 2 the People]

122. Can't do it. Just the thought of him speaking and smirking turns my stomach.

I'll wait for Rachel and the gang's recap and Stacey Abrams speech.

[triron]

123. No way in Hell would I watch the fucking traitor false POS.

[Best_man23]

126. Watching Darts

[world wide wally]

129. Watched Naked Gun movies on Showtime

SOTU was too absurd

[Roadside Attraction]

130. The fact checkers . . .

Fact-checkers stopped trying to keep up with Trump about 5 minutes into his speech, the lies and bullshit were coming so fast.

[ashling]

131. I will not watch it

in a room,
I will not watch it with a broom;
I will not, will not,watch that crap:
I'd rather give his face a slap.

Ok, so I saw some as I walked through,
reminded me of the Ft. Worth zoo.
A big chimp in a cage a bit:
slinging, swinging lots of shit.

But otherwise I did not see it
Did not watch it, did not sheeeit.
i do not like it Sam I am
Do not like orange fools and spam.

[Heartstrings]

134. Excellent, ashling!

Thanks!

[Blue Owl]

133. Aww did I miss it?

What a pity...

NOT!

[lastlib]

135. College hoops was WAAAaaaaay better--even though my school lost.....

Was NOT gonna let that basturd infiltrate my living room!

[TalenaGor]

136. forgot all about it again tried to turn on Rachel....

MSNBC was carrying it ... it was on for about 10 minutes when I felt sick to my stomach and turned it off.... Went on about my evening sat down at my computer and watched Stacy Adams..... Wow she's awesome!!
