He said speaking up during the address was the best way “get across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility.”

    The Democrats seemed unorganized, nobody is leading them like Trump is leading Republicans. Here’s a gimmick I’d like to see them use next time.: Every time Trump says a blatant lie - call it out - LOUD. One by one, watch how many people get thrown out throughout the speech.

    22 Billion cut to HHS is a ton though. Surely that will go toward paying down the deficit? Good on Green for bringing attention to it.

    Why didn’t every Democrat step forward and PHYSICALLY bar him from being removed. They just sat there and let him be ejected. STAND THE FUCK UP

      I thought the same thing. Then I thought about how powerful of a visual it would have been for each one of them, in turn, to cause a disruption and be escorted out. Let the cameras pan over a half filled chamber after 2 hours of meticulous protesting. That image would be in history books 100 years from now, assuming we all survive the next 4.

        AOC talks a big game, but I’m not personally convinced she follows through.

        Case in point, this situation. There should have been more democrats doing the same thing.

        Why didn’t anyone do anything? They talk a big game on social media, but that’s it.

        I’m thinking they are either controlled opposition or too enthralled to corporate donations to do anything.

          How’s that party whip taste? Sounds like you’d do well in an authoritarian one-party state as long as the party pretends to be in partial agreement with you.

          I hear Shanghai is lovely this time of year…

      Wow good job holding a sign! Maybe she can march in a protest next.

      Kudos to Green for actually doing something though. Good to know not all Dems are completely shit.
