Peace and Legislation or War and Investigation

Traitor Donald Trump just threatened the people of the United States and the people of X (Iran most likely, Venezuela possibly) that unless the Democrats halt the investigations into him and his family, he will "wag the dog" hard into a war.

I didn't watch the speech... but caught this on a MSNBC "bumper".

Un-fucking-believable.

The House should have terminated the speech and voted to impeach right then and there (they are in session for the SOTU even if it is a joint session). The trial should start in the Senate immediately.

Sorry, my outrage limit was reached in the 10 second clip.

If I had watched the whole thing I would have lost my TeeVee (again).

I thought for sure he had gone off script when that came out of his mouth because it was so bad, weird, ill advised, stupid, incriminating, threatening, blackmailing..... I can't think of the right word here. As in - nice government ya got there. Be too bad if something happened to it.

Barf!

I loved the way Nancy kept leafing through the pages of the speech as if she were trying to check whether he was going rogue or actually reading what was written for him.
