Multiple Democrats skipping Trump speech, planning alternate event
[THEHILL] A group of Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
is skipping President Trump's congressional speech Tuesday night and planning an alternate event, according to a blurb.
The blurb from Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.) states that the Vermont House member, Sens. Angela Alsobrooks (D-Vt.), Chris Murphy (D., Conn)
...Junior senator for life from Connecticutt, foreign policy mastermind, a fast friend and a sympathetic ear to mullahs, ayatollahs, and similar riff-raff. The indigestable boilerplate on his website sez he has has dedicated his career to public service as an advocate for Connecticut families, which means approximately nothing except that he's never held an honest job.

(D-Conn.), Ed Markey
...U.S. Representative-for-Life from Massachusetts, serving since 1976. He is a member of the Democratic Party, naturally....
(D-Mass.) and Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and others are going to be a part of ''programming that will provide real time fact-checking, a Democratic pre-buttal and live reactions'' on YouTube with an 8:15 p.m. start time.
''I watched as the President swore an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution. I won't sit and watch him lie to the American people again,'' Balint said in the blurb.
''I attended the inauguration because I believe in the peaceful transfer of power, but Trump spewed lies, stoked division and fear and made no effort to unify our country,'' she added. ''There is no doubt tonight's presidential address will be more of the same. My conversation tonight will be the best way I can use my voice for Vermonters. They are sick of the lies and Trump's complete and utter disregard for our Constitution.''
