They think that everybody has the mental acuity of a MAGA.

This is the exemplar of bubble-dwelling courtier bullshit.

They really do not like that locker room...

No, Democrats

I'm not sending you money just because Trump gave a speech

Do something and then we'll talk

There are too many of those.

The oldest BS excuse in the book. She is insulting everybody's intelligence.

So are we all in agreement that any members of the men’s hockey team who attend the State of the Union address tonight are huge assholes who should be showered with boos for the rest of their career?

Mainstream media sanewashes Trump’s racist, lying State of the Union Mainstream media outlets reacted to President Donald Trump’s meandering, bigoted State of the Union speech on Tuesday night with another round of stories seeking to normalize his abnormal behavior.

they are the enemy of the people

It's adolescent pseudo-libertarian claptrap.

For supposed titans of tech, these guys are remarkably, embarrassingly dumb.

Tech CEOs Confused by Why Everybody Hates AI So Much With public sentiment on AI resoundly negative, the tech CEOs pushing the new tech only seem to be doubling down.

just spitballing but some of it might have something to do with 15 years of sociopathic behavior culminating in the enthusiastic embrace of violent fascism

What a surprise....</s>

They are not hiding that their rhetoric is largely culled from Nazi propaganda. Unfortunately many people are historically illiterate.

I am quite sure that Uncle SpeakerMan whipped the troops into line with the usual threat to "primary your ass in 2026".

Or they should not have attended at all. Why dignify what is always going to be a strutting, preening toxic stew of lies?

Have I been asleep for 9 years?

Grown-ups should not be acting as a captive audience for a rabble-rouser. That gives him targets to yell at and point at. There is no upside to being his captive audience, especially since they cannot respond except through their formal responders.

He has to be compromised. That is the only charitable explanation for why he is behaving like a spineless shitweasel.

Are you in the chamber? Because you damn well should not be.

Democrats need a lesson in the importance of breaking patterns, aka "norms," and how doing so captures attention. Not attending or walking out en masse would break the pattern journalists are used to seeing and become a story. Instead, all we get is two hours of Trump's unfiltered racism.

THey cannot read the room. They are spineless troops led by spineless shitweasels.

Indeed. They should not give even a single one the time of day.
Tell them to go fuck themselves with a sharp object.

Instead they sat there like impotent spectators to their own humiliation.
Fools, the lot of them.

If there was any doubt that the Democratic leadership in Congress cannot read the room, this SOTU debacle should erase that doubt.
Attending what has turned into a preening, vicious hate-fest makes the Democratic members of Congress look like spineless fools.

No kidding. Who thought that it was a good idea for any of them to attend?
Oh yeah. Hakeem Jeffries.

Spineless jackwits the lot of them. They should not even have been there.

They look like supine fools.

I want to see him go off-script and start rambling incoherently about weird shit

They will try to circumvent the courts until several of them get told to attend a contempt hearing and make sure that they bring their toothbrush...

That...is an excellent distinction.
