https://www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson-trump-speech/"Everybody remembers when Nancy Pelosi ripped up his State of the Union speech right behind him. It was just disgusting," he continued. "We should respect the president. Everyone should stand and give him an ovation for what he's been able to accomplish in the first few weeks."

JohnSJ
(98,883 posts)normal, "we have to be cordial" modus operandi.
If there are just too many lies constantly blathered from the podium, and the jackass starts bashing President Biden and the Democrats, I would like to see every Democrat in the room stand up, turn their backs to the piece of trash up there, and walk out.
Not only will that gain a lot of attention, but you can bet every news outlet will be giving coverage to interview the Democrats who are doing that, and that is the opportunity for them to explain that the liar in charge is destroying our country, and they cannot just sit and listen passively to those lies. Our Democracy is at stake.

(2,297 posts)British lawmakers arent shy about loudly heckling PMs when they try to bullshit at Question Time and other occasions. American legislators much more quiet at Presidential addresses, prisoners of decorum than their British counterparts.
Id like to hear full throated booing, cries of traitor , and nobody voted for that. Id like to see Dems turn their backs, wag their fingers no, give the thumbs down with vigor.
Theyll probably sit on their hands and signal acquiescence when they should express the outrage and fear that so many of us feel.

The Trump appointed members and Chief Justice Roberts will be cheer leaders for the occasion. They have a great routine prepared. One that requires not much rhythm but the ability to turn their backs on the Democrats and lift their skirts, this is what the country has sunk to!!!

(8,103 posts)I think that every last Dem should wear khaki with boots. Remember when they all wore white? Can't remember what that was about, but I liked it. I don't know if they could be refused their seats, but Fetterman showed up wearing shorts, so I think they should wear tactical outfits in support of Zelenskyy. Do you think Chief Dumbass would get it?
And, we are at war with them. Forget this nonsense about reaching across the aisle. They are not our friends. They are sycophants of a dictator. Sooner or later, we will have to exhibit nonviolent resistance in the streets. It's coming to that.
Every last one of them is insane.
