I've had more than enough of the rolling-over-and-playing-dead bullshit. We're being gaslighted by this cabal of ass clowns as they dismantle our country right in front of our eyes. Our elected officials are the equivalent of the neighbor who closes the blinds and plugs their ears while our abuser beats us to death.

Good call sister. Time to stand up and show this asshole and his enablers the REAL America. Good manners and acting with a higher class are wasted on Trumpers. THEY NEVER HAD EITHER AND NEVER WILL! They would understand acting like they act perfectly. There is an old saying about fighting in the mud with a pig that says to avoid it because the pig enjoys it! As a country farm kid, I chased down and caught many pigs in the mud! THE IDEA IS NOT ABOUT FIGHTING IN THE MUD. THE IDEA IS NOT TO LET THE PIG WIN! Pig shit washes off!

Worse, if they're Schmuck Schumer, Notorious P-Lousy or worst of all Hillary Rodham Clinton, they take the abuser out for a beer afterwards!

I had been saying that ALL of the Dems should have gone and ALL of them should have stood and walked out as soon as Dumbass started talking, and took their time doing it!

Thank you, God! Amen! Awomen!

Seriously! I was so disappointed that the entire contingent of Democrats stayed through that barrage of lies.

The Dems, to a person, should have boycotted whatever the hell that was last night and instead held town halls or done live events on their social media. They accomplished nothing by giving Putin's Dancing Bear the audience he craves. They should have let him talk to a half-empty chamber instead.

Thanks be to God and to my hero, Rep. Al Green from my former home town of Houston, Texas! πŸ’™ "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

If they were going to stay they could have at least turned their backs on him.

Dear God,

The Democrats have no idea how to be an OPPOSITION party. They are addicted to policy statements and compomise. How is that working out?

Time to FUCK DECOREM! When the fight is with an entertaining clown show, the old ways won’t work.

Trump Basic Oneβ€” He is all about attention. Deprive him of attention, you win.

First, an OPPOSITION needs to be unified (Miracle #1 required).

Either don’t show up at all or show up and get attention.

Show-up strategy. Show up in fatigues and masks carrying Ukrainian flags (not dignified, Exactly!)

Signs: Big signs all the same with one big word LIE on them deployed at the same time shouting the word.

Leaving: 2 hours is a long time. At least 4 members walk out, not alone, with a dozen members with them.

Empty seats: To accommodate those who can’t bear to attend, fill their seats with Dr. Fauci, Liz Cheney, the fired head of the Joint Chiefs, the newly resigned DOJ lawyers and the like. The camera will focus on them.

The Response.Not another politician. A video of those who have been hurt by Trump policies.

It is going to take a miracle to turn the Dems into an opposition. I pray you have one left.

I agree that the little signs were stupid. I would have preferred that they just sat there and glared than hold those pathetic looking paddleboards. Who thinks this stuff up? Schumer? Jeffries? Whoever it is, they're braindead. I'm not giving to the Dems or even calling myself one until they grow some Mount Ararat-size cajones and do their JOBS, which is to fight for our democracy. They care more about our money than that, though. That's why they're so afraid to do their jobs.

At least AOC had the right idea. She held a live event on her social media and talked to her constituents. Denying little Donnie attention is more effective than pathetic paddle sign waving.

I remember very well, a few years ago, during a State of the Union speech by Biden, when that deranged BITCH from Georgia, also named Green, stood and shouted LIAR, LIAR, LIAR while a REAL president was speaking. SHE WASN'T THROWN OUT BUT I TRULY WISH SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE SHOVED A FIST IN HER BIG MOUTH! Last night, she was wearing a MAGA hat in a room where headgear needs to be removed. Al Green was a hero last night. What democrats NEED to UNDERSTAND is that GOOD MANNERS AND HIGH CLASS are NOT effective and not even appreciated or understood by Republican/Trumpers or EVER will be. Democrats should have all stood up and shouted Trump down at every LIE and every low-class remark! Let MAGA SCUM JOHNSON throw out all except themselves, this time! TIME TO STAND UP! Trump can't even handle the egg shortage and is still blaming Biden! How will Trump handle massive protests in Trumper country led by FORMER Trumpers? Will he call out our regular army against our own people using the rights every soldier swears to uphold? I HOPE SO! THAT WILL BE TRUMP'S FINISH!

The "deranged bitch from Georgia" β€” Majorly Taylored Braine β€” will do anything, EVERYthing, to get attention. Always. Let's just ignore her and perhaps she will wither and shrink to the nothing she is. Or explode. Who cares?

Someone needed to have a case of kneepads to hand out to the rethuglicans as they walked in. Maybe some moist towelettes to wipe their faces after sucking that tiny mushroom appendage.

You didn't like the signs. I get it. But at least they did SOMETHING which is more than could be said for most there.

Jane in NC's avatar

I didn't SOMETHING. I didn't watch Donnie's Big Speech. Which is more than could be said for the Dems who participated in that charade last night.

Put him (Al Green) in charge? Seriously?! I agree that what he did was courageous in that moment, and I admire and appreciate him for it. I also agree that the little placards were weak sauce, but a boomer shaking a cane is not the image we need either if we’re going to resurrect the Democratic Party from the dead! If we’re talking about party leadership and leading the fight against the fascist takedown of our country, how about AOC or Jasmine Crockett? Melanie Stansbury holding her sign right behind Trump might not have been a perfect act of rebellion, but it still took more courage than holding up a placard in the audience. Have you listened to her speak at the congressional DOGE subcommittee meetings? All of these women are bravely speaking up for us and against trump, despite receiving (I’m 100% certain) non-stop violent threats, and they are showing true leadership that has the power to reach and inspire disillusioned younger voters. So, God, at the risk of being smited (smote?), I think you missed the mark on this one.

Of course, it’s more a sentiment towards having leaders that are willing to fight.

We've been trying to tell you for AGES! Put a woman in charge!

The problem is, I have no doubt that most of the rest of the world sees us as little more than junior high school boys, pretty much (giving less than no shits about history and having the memory capacity of a toddler whose parents were brother and sister in the same sheep flock). And as long as that's the case (I agree, frankly, though sometimes the rest of the world's memory is /too/ long), those ain't gon' vote for no stinkee gurrlz. X-P

Sandy B in NorCal's avatar

Sadly, I agree! We've seen that demonstrated twice, and it's gonna take a literal act of God for the US to elect a woman prez. πŸ˜’

What is the downside? Trumps fans defecated in the rotunda and got pardoned. Maybe a hydrant moment in the aisle is a compromise? Classy crowd there after all! Seems fair …Trump pissed on the constitution ?! I
