Rep Al Green just got kicked out for his “Black people aren’t apes” I can’t drink and watch him, I get too outraged. ---

@JaneDoe42 I assume you mean you can’t watch the felon, not the Honorable Al Green? ---

This is SO much better than watching! Spoons and Monty, we owe you bigly! Someone let me know if he says anything about the “sleazebag” plaintiff of the Supreme Court tariff case, who’s present in the audience as a guest of Illinois Rep Brad Schneider. The guy’s my cousin but I can’t bear to watch. ---

Yes, the rapist. Al Green is one of the good guys 🙂 I just learned that this is the second time he got kicked out. I like him even more now. ---

He’s gone off script! He lost it when he got offended that Democrats didn’t support his incorrect assertion about duty. And he’s just lied about cheating in elections. He says it’s rampant. He pushes that line to mean the Democrats in Congress are not there legitimately. ---

Democrats only get elected if they cheat! Well, every accusation is a confession, so there you go. Now something about a transgender child who was horribly treated by people who forced her (him? not sure) to change gender, without telling the parents. “These people [pointing at Democrats] are crazy, I tell ya!” ---
