OH, I CAN'T WAIT; I COUNT THE HOURS – AT 9:31 A.M. ET:   Democrats, their creativity flowing, are planning big stuff for President Trump's State of the Union.  I'm sure it will be brilliant.  From The Hill: 

Democrats are already plotting ways to protest during President Trump’s State of the Union later this month. 

At least one lawmaker plans to boycott the speech entirely, with more Democrats possibly opting to skip the event as well. Female Democrats including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) plan to wear black to show solidarity with victims of sexual misconduct, just as Hollywood stars did at an awards show over the weekend.

Members of the Democratic Women’s Working Group had been discussing ideas for a coordinated effort around the State of the Union after wearing white — the color of suffragettes — to Trump’s first joint address to Congress last year. They settled on wearing black after watching the Golden Globes on Sunday.

Female Democrats are hoping that their display of black will help bring the “Me Too” conversation about rooting out sexual misconduct and women’s issues to Trump’s State of the Union on Jan. 30.

Rep. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.), the chairwoman of the Democratic Women’s Working Group, said she also expects to give her guest ticket in the House chamber gallery to a person involved in the “Me Too” movement, but hasn’t decided whom to invite yet.

“What we want is to really continue the conversation about sexual harassment in the workplace, about disparity of salaries where people work in the same job, and also getting paid for the value of your work,” Frankel said.

She joked that lawmakers’ attire won’t be quite the same as at the Golden Globes: “I don’t expect to see diamonds or a lot of flesh.”

COMMENT:   I'm overwhelming by the artistic genius of the organizers.   Why, how 1966!  Break out the hula hoops.

I'm all for women's rights.  My two daughters appreciate that.  But these women are stuck in the past, nostalgic for the old marches and denunciations of Miss America.

And how many of these Democratic congresswomen knew about the rampant sexual harassment in Congressional offices, and how public money was used to hush up the accusers?  Hmm.  Why do I hear, "No comment"?
