I was also surprised how often he applauded.
I think Biden could've said "America has the greatest people in the world" and Greene would've booed.

Many of them display much more childish behavior. It’s a waste of time trying to shame them. They admire this. They are like the parents that have to be escorted from the gym during a child’s game. I have to believe that they are actually proud of themselves

They want you to think that because they know it will be brushed off like dandruff. They know what they are doing as well as their voters. And it is more sinister than what people think.

They do it all in a twisted form of performance art every time the cameras are on them or through social media platforms. They do not govern or represent their constituents, they have sold themselves out to 'dark money' overlords who seek to destroy our democracy and pillage our institutions.
