Some of Pelosi guests for SOTU tonight: Chef José Andrés, DNC Chair Tom Perez, District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser, Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was killed in the Parkland shooting
TV counter-programming to State of the Union "Criminal Minds" "Monsters Inside Me" "Shark Tank" "Big Daddy" "America Says" "High Maintenance" "American Nightmare" "The Haves and the Have Nots" "What on Earth" "Gangsters: America's Most Evil" "Law & Order"
I will be either binge watching shows that I have recorded or reading while the shitshow is going on. One of the TVs will be turned to another channel to help lower the ratings of the vomit-inducing liefest.
Everyone is getting into the act …..because…hmmmm…
NEWS: I'm delivering remarks tonight on Facebook Live ahead of the President’s State of the Union Address. It's critical we speak truth to the American people during this inflection moment in our country's history. Tune in at approximately 7:45PM ET –> https://t.co/J944ScCiVq
This is really smart. First step in forcing the WH to formally declare executive privilege, which the House can then litigate, is a subpoena. Makes clear Whitaker can't avoid answering q's about conversations with Trump by just declining to. https://t.co/qJwxSeNXLB
In 2016, I was one of four finalists for National Teacher of the Year. What has happened to each of us since then tells us a lot about what's happening in our profession.
Looking back to 2007, the first time a woman, Nancy Pelosi, presided over the House as Speaker during a SOTU

Inbox: Chuck Schumer is bringing an air traffic controller from Long Island with four children who worked for 35 days without pay during the government shutdown as his guest to the State of the Union.
Between @staceyabrams and @AGBecerra, Democrats will be represented tonight by two of our best leaders with an exciting, dynamic pair of #SOTU responses. This is our party: diverse, full of heart, and forward-looking.
I am very grateful to TV channels for giving me heads up on the wall-to-wall coverage of tonight’s fake speech. I’ve lined up movies from both Netflix and Hulu to spend quality time with myself.

Every single time I say anything even remotely critical of Bernie my mentions become a mess for days and days but I'm not going to shut up. Deal. With. It.
"…we've never seen an administration so intensely focused on dismantling civil rights protections across the board," Jon Greenbaum, chief counsel for the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said Friday. https://t.co/6Mpbkn9UW0

I hate being put in the position of not being able to watch the SOTU because of that awful person who will be giving it. But no way am I being a part of his ratings!
PEOPLE OF AMERICA! Tonight I am attending the #SOTU in the People’s House as a proud American citizen…and today I am sharing a few things I’ve seen over the last year traveling the country and world with @WCKitchen – my own thoughts on the #stateoftheunion (thread)
Some democrats giving standing ovation for f-face PP. I don’t get it. And that Joe Manchin is a water carrier for PP. I don’t understand why WV even elects him.

Crackpot presenting hisself as the Only One who can rescue us from his demonic fantasy world. Meanwhile hours prior to:
“his expected call for ‘unity’ during his State of the Union address, Trump dismissed former Vice President Joe Biden as “dumb,” called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a “nasty son of a bitch” and mocked the disgraced Governor Ralph Northam for “choking like a dog,”
(Sarah Jones)
-needs a good pasting.
Liam Neeson's response to a family member being raped was to walk around for a week with a crow bar so he could provoke any random Black person and commit a 'racist murder.'
It was a bizarre moment. He was looking at the Democratic women as if they were his groupies. I was expecting him to comment on someone’s appearance, like with a Miss America contestant. Gross.
.@staceyabrams: "America achieved a measure of reproductive justice in Roe v. Wade, but we must never forget it is immoral to allow politicians to harm women and families to advance a political agenda." #SOTUpic.twitter.com/qQRso0DBm4
With you all the way, Mr. Vice President. Best decision I made all night was not to watch trump – but to watch and listen to every peaceful, strong, mature, insightful, meaningful, and loving word that #StaceyAbrams said.
Lawd… hopefully this goes through FINALLY. I’ve been posting for a minute waiting to be cleared until I read the House Rules! LOL I’ve been lurking for years and I have to tell ya’ll that TOD is the probably the FIRST place I go to for news/sanity. I appreciate all of ya’ll so much. Ms. Nerdy Wonka. THANK YOU for keeping all of us together. Tonight…Ms. Abrams was just…well hell..I got all choked like I used to when the kids performed for those corny school plays. So proud of her!
So thought about you, Dudette, as I watched her response. I knew you were sitting there just busting with pride for her. I can’t wait to see what her future holds.
She’s miles ahead of everyone else in terms of insight and sheer brilliance ….
Russia was able to influence our election because they figured out that racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and transphobia are America’s Achilles heel. These issues aren’t only civil rights — they’re also a matter of national security. We have to deal with that.
When Fabian “Occasional Superstar” Williams learned that his mural of Colin Kaepernick was demolished last Friday, he responded by creating #Kaeperbowl.https://t.co/KHObV2a9gp
Iran hit back at President Trump’s State of the Union address, saying the U.S. has a history of backing brutal regimes in the Middle East https://t.co/3czhp6ZnsQ
If we care about the #StateofOurUnion, we have to care about #VoterSuppression – rampant and widespread in places like GA, TX and NC where officials actively disenfranchise voters with impunity.
What a miss. With a gallery of many gun violence survivors @realDonaldTrump didn’t say a single word about stopping the most dangerous people from getting the most dangerous weapons. Well @HouseDemocrats will. In less than 12 hours we have a hearing on background checks. #SOTU
12 years from now, we could be listening to a President delivering the #SOTU, telling us that the worst effects of climate change have become irreversible.
Or we could be celebrating the transformational action we took to save the planet.
#RT@shaunking: RT @_SJPeace_: Her name is Elsie. She is totally blind. She has never been to school, never learned English. She lives in a small fishing village in the Philippines. Listen to her sing I will always love you by Whitney Houston.
Trolls asking, "Who were all those #nurses on the floor last night?" in response to a sea of #suffragist white. Your fake query & sarcasm was meant as an insult. But, guess what? We love & value our #nurses & we are 100% here to cure what ails this country! Right, @RepUnderwood?
Oh my goodness sending love and more love. I know he had a powerhouse career but he’s been ✨✨✨here during a very dark time. Please hug him and thank him and tell him he’s beloved. https://t.co/QFa3DN02GB
Friends and colleagues know me and know I would be in Washington right now unless something was up. I am home with John and we have entered a new phase. He is my love and we have been a team for nearly 40 years.
1st!
Congrats!🎉
Hey Don – congratulations!
Yes they are!!!!!
Now, can we impeach and remove this traitor??!!
Excellent
I’m watching basketball. Then I will watch Stacey.
I will be either binge watching shows that I have recorded or reading while the shitshow is going on. One of the TVs will be turned to another channel to help lower the ratings of the vomit-inducing liefest.
I really hope someone pulls a Joe Wilson and yell out “you lie!”
Tells you all you need to know
He won both election without RUSSIA help. Plus he won the popular vote and electoral college both time.
Everyone is getting into the act …..because…hmmmm…
Yeh but her speech isn’t a response to the fraudster’s SOTU.
Good Listen
#WaitingForStacey
Not gonna check why, but – in trump’s America – David Duke is trending.
Thread
Still sucked as POTUS, but this was classy!
Which is why I’ll be doing something else, anything else, while the crooked clown is speaking.
🔥🔥🔥
Good Afternoon TODVille,
I am very grateful to TV channels for giving me heads up on the wall-to-wall coverage of tonight’s fake speech. I’ve lined up movies from both Netflix and Hulu to spend quality time with myself.
We are too. I will be checking Twitter to know when to turn to Stacey Abrams.
Pay attention to this woman
I hope that whoever is delivering remarks today, does so after Stacey Abrams.
I like standing in line at the grocery and looking at the text messages on the cellphone and saying hmmmmmm loudly.
Feb. 8th, Jimmy Kimmel will be joining Michelle Obama at the Tacoma Done Friday as she start the second half of her book tour. Kimmel will moderate.
A little distraction as you avoid iQ45’s State Of Lies (SOL). 😏 Some tunes in there too.
https://daily.bandcamp.com/2019/02/05/jaye-p-morgan-lost-album-feature/
#StateOfLies I love it.
Ain’t that the truth! Pun intended! 😏😂
I did not know that, you learn something new every day.
Darn, Current Minus has had his lights off & nothing is home. Ever. 😏
Just look at that smile:)
Well, they’ll be busy!!
Thank you for always being here for us, Nerdy!
Am tuned in to BET! Survivor skills. 😏😂
I am, too! Will also check twitter later to see when Stacey Abrams has started. 🙂
That look like the Jackson 3 with some lady singing with them.
I hate being put in the position of not being able to watch the SOTU because of that awful person who will be giving it. But no way am I being a part of his ratings!
This morning one of the talking heads on teevee said “President T” and I got sick to my stomach about his person with the word president before it…
After he’s gone, we’ll all feel like we won the Lotto or something. 🙂
This is a powerful thread from Chef Andrés!
So funny. Guess it’s started.
Not watching Trump.!!!!!
Is it safe yet?
I’m re-watching Counterpart. I love this show.
I swung over to Windy City Rehab on HGTV. 🙂
Not safe yet DF
Thanks:)
Some democrats giving standing ovation for f-face PP. I don’t get it. And that Joe Manchin is a water carrier for PP. I don’t understand why WV even elects him.
Joe Manchin, I’m not a fan of his at all
Is it over yet?
nope
ugh

Nancy remembering the good old days when there were a real President up there speaking. We know what you mean Nancy.
I’m sure she is! I know we are!
She’s looked at pictures colored for her by her granchildren. 🙂
looking..
Anything to take her mind off trump!
I think Trump will be up there lying till 11pm.
Somebody on twitter asked if this speech was going to be as long as Fidel Castro’s old speeches – I think they lasted 10 hours.
F*ck face I believe is nearing the end of his crappy speech. And he is done.
So, it’s safe to come out now.
Pretty sure she’s Jon Favreau’s wife:
Any link for Stacey?
LOL! Good one.
It was a bizarre moment. He was looking at the Democratic women as if they were his groupies. I was expecting him to comment on someone’s appearance, like with a Miss America contestant. Gross.
He doesn’t see them.
Stacey Abrams was G-R-E-A-T.
I was so darn proud of her.

I’m so proud of My Rightful Governor, Stacey Abrams! She knocked it out of the park tonight!
So thought about you, Dudette, as I watched her response. I knew you were sitting there just busting with pride for her. I can’t wait to see what her future holds.
I really was busting, cd4b! She’s the best! Her future is gonna be so bright!
This is amazing!
Caption Contest: See this Mr President? This is me washing my hands of you.
She’s miles ahead of everyone else in terms of insight and sheer brilliance ….
Goodnight TOD …
Good morning, TOD!
Fuck you clap! Love it.
Now go to bed little donnie.
Morning everyone
Thank you, Investigators. Please, carry on!
I don’t need to be reminded but others do!
This is so wrong!
Listen to this angel sing!
Positive thoughts and prayers for the Dingell family
Ha! Fitting.
New post.
