The Speaker Dissed Trump? Don't buy the meme, dear Democrats!!!

Remember when a certain republicon yelled out that President Obama was a liar during the State of the Union address? No? Well here it is:




And tonight, the occupant of the White house rebuffed the Speaker's handshake. Missed it? Here it is:





It is they who are dissing us. They have been for decades. Geez, need we talk about the Clinton years? Speaker Pelosi sent a message tonight through her actions concerning the speech transcript. That message? It is simply that there are some of us,.......no, millions of us who can see through the con job and will never buy it.

But then again, when isn't he petty? What a small, small person.

God, I hate it when he walks around that stage clapping for himself. When have we ever seen the likes of this? And all the Nazi supporters in the GOP feeding his narcissism.

I am just so disgusted with all of this.

I see such a huge mistake in the making for our country and feel that very few others actually see that mistake with me. In thirty or more years they might see it, but not in the present.

They don't want to see it. Our country, at least at this point in our history, is terribly short sighted. Look how they still won't admit how awful Reagan was for the majority of Americans.

I did not watch the speech, preferring a good night's sleep. I awaken to find Madame Speaker tore it into pieces and held up the carcass.

Oh this is grand! I am laughing out loud. Reality is marching past Trump as sure as the clock strikes one.

And, where is their outrage over the fact that he disrespected the American people by turning the State of the Union address into another one of his freak show rallies? Oh, wait. Those fuckers were cheering right along with him.

All for a show/display of arrogance.

What happened to Obama was conservative racism--first African American to be elected president in the History of this country. Trump on the other hand has been reduced to an angry, petty, little boy who was IMPEACHED BY NANCY PELOSI, YOU SEE SHE IS THE ONE LAUGHING WHILE THE LITTLE CRY BABY THROWS TEMPER TANTRUMS. SHE KNOWS IT AND SHE SHOWS IT BY THE SMILE ON HER FACE!! SHE ALREADY GOT THE LAST WORD!! She's a classy lady, i like her! sorry for the caps. History will forget about trump's childish rebuff, but history will never forget donnie dumba*s was impeached--AND BY A WOMAN!!. She blemished his tarnished record.

...honoring a Tuskegee airman, as though decades of well-documented Trump racism, from the DOJ lawsuit he faced in the '70s over racist rental policies to his calls for the execution of the Central Park Five to the array of appalling policies he's pursued from the Oval Office suddenly didn't exist.

I'll add that he gave a fellow racist the Medal of Freedom, while the Tuskegee airman had to sit there and watch the whole vomit-inducing spectacle.
