Celebrities ‘Can’t Even Watch’ Trump State of the Union:
‘Lying, Incompetent, Racist, Misogynistic Sack of Sh*t’
by Daniel Nussbaum
Breitbart.com
Hollywood celebrities joined millions of Americans on social media Tuesday night to weigh in on President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address in real time — though many posted simply to say they wouldn’t watch it.
Trump’s touted his successes on tax cut legislation and in the war against terrorism and laid out a comprehensive proposal for immigration reform in his 90-minute primetime speech, though many stars, including Michael Moore, George Takei, Kumail Nanjiani, and Elizabeth Banks, said they wouldn’t — or couldn’t — tune in.

I tried. I listened but the amount of BS and stunts and questions raised that will never be answered made me throw my remote and now I am listening to Tom Petty and am a better American for it. #SOTU

Some of the stars tweeting during the speech — including Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Alyssa Milano, and Whoopi Goldberg — had appeared at a public, anti-Trump “People’s State of the Union” on Monday night in New York City.

Standing up for the most vulnerable and voiceless among us is the noblest of traits. We must be noble & support our immigrant youth by demanding a DREAM Act. #StateOfTheDream

What you didn’t hear Trump mention in the #SOTU: his proposed cuts to health care, housing and food assistance disproportionately harm communities of color #HandsOff pic.twitter.com/KaVzxZPoyI #StateOfTheDream

Former California First Lady Maria Shriver called for the country to become united and said she enjoyed hearing the stories of the Americans invited to attend the address.
“The State of our Union is strong because our people are strong,” Shriver tweeted. “Now let’s get it united!

Watching #SOTU I’m always struck by the divided chamber. Half sitting. No matter who is president. So divided.

Of course, numerous stars blasted the president, with many offering up sarcastic jokes.
“When does he thank Russia?” tweeted actor Albert Brooks.

Only sure way to dump this utter garbage of a Presidency* onto the landfill of history is to communicate, inspire, organize, register, fight & VOTE!!! We are ALL better than this, even if too many seem to think this is our best. Midterm elections Nov 6, 2018. Start the work now!!

Any article, tweet or punditry that invokes: "This was the night Trump became..."
Unh-uh. Nope. Forget it.
He's had a year. He's consistently been the con-man he's been for decades. He's no president. He never will be. He's a dangerous, incompetent fraud & nothing more.#SOTU
