I wish the Democrats would interrupt and get tossed by Johnson one by one so the entire thing grinds to a halt. Start yelling, get removed and then the next person starts up.
This is not a State of the Union. Constitution considers this first of four (or ten, whatever Trump can live for). By this point he should have said, “The state of the Union is strong!” and by tradition both sides should do a standing O. Not sure if they have the text, yet there has to be a clear place in there for "exit en masse for every last democrat and the SCOTUS will be beaming even wider and the right will be throwing confetti and spraying silly string at them.
This is not a Congress either, in reality. It’s essentially a supreme soviet.
I saw on Twitter that Democrats are walking out but it’s not being shown on camera. It seems like they’re showing a lot less of the audience than usual.
He’s passed the point where the Dems should have all got up and left. If it were a SOTU I could understand having some respect for the office. He keeps on saying how great he is, how great he will be, and how shitty the democrats are. They can’t impeach him, he’s not going anywhere ever, yet the democrats should be on the Capitol steps in 10 minutes.
The Rare Breed is on TCM. That’s enough bullshit for me.
They showed up. Jesus.
Why are the names of African nations punch lines to these people?
Because these people are ignorant assholes.
And he just called immigrants dirty and disgusting.
Yet if three democrats - can you imagine three democrats, in unison, singing a bar of “Alice’s Restaurant” and walking out, they’ll think it’s a movement!. I can dig stealth leaving three by three yet the minority party should be getting it together on the Capitol Steps long before this is over.
Fox news promised “Global Peace”. Almost an hour ago there wasn’t going o be any “World Peace”. Now it’s matter of self-respect.
Isn’t that woman whose name he can’t remember, his wife, an immigrant?
She is, and also her parents. But it’s okay because they’re not Mexican!
I forgot. “If they’re not white, they’re crap!”
Thanks for the heads-up! I’ve just switched to it.
Trump needs some new material. He keeps rehashing the same old stories.
The last time the US populace was net positive on the direction thing was May 2009. Methinks modern history goes back a far way on that. YMMV.
And who needs a free press when you can just make shit up … freely?
In the latest polls I’m aware of, the majority of Americans (54%) still think the country is headed in the wrong direction. That’s a significant improvement since Dec-24, but just 10 points with buyers regret yet to take effect.
You think Putin, Xi, Kim, and Musk regret their purchase?
Likely that they consider they have paid over the odds, when it turns out they could have rogered the American Dream on the cheap.
