Why are the US #Democrats so absolutely #useless?
"Oh, we might skip the State of the Union address to show our displeasure with the administration."
Are you #morons? That would be a gift to Dear Leader and his #lickspittle #Congress. The #SOTU would be Mango Mussolini speaking to a friendly crowd, all happy, applauding, not a contrary expression to be seen. He'll be happy, smiling, at his most congenial as he basks in the warm glow. You do not do this.
What you do is attend. Every #Democratic #house member and #senator. Every staffer and guest that they're entitled to bring. Everyone. You put them all in their assigned places.
And then, when Trump gets up to speak, every single one of them simply turns away from the dictator. Turn their back to him, and *stay* that way for the whole speech. The #optics are great; the cameras show half the crowd with their backs to him, in obvious #protest. The #tyrant has to look at it all through his speech. He's angry. He's spiteful. He puts on a display for the ages, goes off-script, airing every #grievance his Swiss-cheese mind can dredge up. His body language is hostile. #Media coverage shows the event for what it actually is: a #vengeful, #lawless #authoritarian trying to verbally browbeat the legislative branch into submission.
#DNC, I'm available for consulting if you'd like.

The "State of the Union" address, or as it has come to be known in recent times, the "Airing of Grievances Prior to Taking Grampa's Phone Away, Changing his Diaper, and Putting Him to Bed".
More seriously, unless they medicate him properly and do something to keep him on-script, Tuesday's performance is likely to be #legendary, and not in a good way.

I may watch the film Idiocracy tonight. I will not watch the real-life Idiocracy continue to play out on live TV in an hour.

Last week's #SOTU #response by #Katie #Britt contained a major #falsehood
And big name news outlets got beat to it by #Johnathan #Katz, a guy with a newsletter and a TikTok account
♦️Why didn’t the Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post, or any other news organization have this story?
♦️Would any of them have eventually fact-checked that portion of her speech?
♦️Would they have all just let it slide?It is a lot like what happened in 2022 as the story of then-Rep.-Elect #George #Santos began to unravel.
The Times reported on it, but missed it until after the election was over 💥and proceeded to get really irritated at the implication that the New York Times should do in-depth pre-election reporting on New York congressional races💥#readTPA. And follow @parkermolloy
PS Here is Katz's exposé on #TikTok

The European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs ("LIBE") released a draft resolution that does not look very kindly on the US attempt to support an adequacy determination under GDPR through an Executive Order. (It points out all the things it finds lacking in the US attempt at creating a new data privacy framework - no surprises here.) If this is indicative of the final outcome at the Commission (please, no wagering ;) ), Mr Schrems will be happy... and many of us will continue to work under the assumption that this is all going nowhere fast. Among the many failings noted: The US does not have a federal privacy law. #ADPPA was on the table in the last Congress. Are nudges from #POTUS at the #SOTU and from the #EU going to be sufficient to get the ball rolling again? Would any such law comprehensively address the outstanding concerns re: adequacy? Does failure to adopt such a law harm the global economic position of the US in the near term or in the long term? What other issues are raised by this development or by an eventual negative finding re: adequacy? #GDPR #adequacy #LIBE #DPF #dataprivacyframework #dataprivacy #privacy #data #personaldata #personaldataprotection #dataprotection #schremsii #schremsiii #EU #IAPP https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/LIBE-RD-740749_EN.pdf
