Democrats should boycott the State of the Union. Democrats keep calling this man a unique and dangerous threat, but never ACT like it.
For once, Democrats' *actions* should match their words.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald Trump, you’re a disgrace as a human being. While you may have gotten the presidency, you’re still a disgrace. You’re a convicted felon, a pervert, and you treat your allies with disdain while you kiss up to Putin.

Anytime, anywhere, Donald—we will take you on.
