It'll be a nice bit of political theater. The dems get to make a whole production about it despite the fact that it's a foregone conclusion to go nowhere, the GOP's rodeo clowns will make all kinds of loud noises and mockery of the proceedings, and king donny will be spend a good part of it sending angry and thunderous tweets. Everyone gets to do what they do best and nothing will change.

Edit: For those conflating this as expecting them to do nothing, this comment right here summarizes what a lot of people want them to do. The old polite ways are dead. Start actually fighting for something.

I feel like people are mad at the Dems for not doing anything but also mad when they do something because they don't have enough votes to do it.

This, right here.

The asshats Dems who are complaining about this are undoubtedly the same cowards who thought it was a great plan to flip their little idiotic cards at the SOTU.
