Why? He might talk about funding ICE, the war in Venezuela, overthrow of Meduro, the war in Iran, and raising money for Israel. Are geriatric Democrats afraid their knees will give in from all the standing up, or that their knuckles will fall off from all the clapping?
“I’m not attending his State of the Union to listen to him ramble and lie,” Murray wrote. “Instead, I’ll be sharing the ways he’s hurting hardworking Americans.”
Or, you know, articulate a plan to counter him. Maybe even take the lead yourself.
Informing people of his lies is a plan to counter him.
Okay, we know about his lies. Now what?
Assymetrical warfare.
I’ll provide the ass.
You’re not getting a metric system in America. Nice try though.
Could someone explain to this european how this is news worthy? is there some larger implications of this I’m missing? I mean who cares if they listen to his speech?
American here, there are no implications other than the orange rapist pedo may get his feelings hurt. That happens so frequently that it is not news.
Traditionally the State of the Union has been a yearly “all sides come together to get on the same page” kind of affair, it’s supposed to highlight the importance of country over politics, and it’s where the whole country gets the president’s agenda going forward so we can decide what to support or oppose. It was originally a stately and important moment in our country. Whether you liked or hated the president, when I was a child here families would gather around their televisions and tune in just to know what’s going on.
This tradition has had some drama and wild swings in the past but I can’t remember in my decades here if there’s been a sizeable number of legislators and representatives actually protesting the entire thing, people usually go there even if it’s just to “boo” and make a scene and get their clips in on social media.
Honestly it’s completely nothing and pointless right now. The State of the Union means nothing in this administration, the protesting by not attending means nothing. Trump could get up there and scream at the country that we’re going to start mining for chocolate on the moon and people are broadly going to shrug because next week he’ll be screaming that we need to start bombing wind-farms.
They all should
Jeffries is a model of uselessness and capitulation who should speak a lot less. Anything he says dems “should do” needs to be taken with a massive grain of salt.
He’s really just hurting the party every time he gets in front of a microphone. In his metaphor, he’s not being run off his own block, he’s sitting there in quiet defiance while a klansman pisses in his face. He’s framing this as being tough and it’s just embarrassing.
He really highlights that leadership is chosen by donor rapport rather than political talent or broad party appeal.
SOME? Should DEFINITELY be ALL.
They need to stop trying to adhere to standard practices as the fascists burn down the world ffs! 🤬
We need to RESPECT Pedophiles MORE then we Respect our Constituents!
-Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries!
If a Democrat doesn’t pull an ‘Al Green’ then they have no business being there.
If somebody’s going to pull a somebody else, I hope it’s Trump doing a Dwyer. The ratings would be through the roof!
Hey man, nice shot.
Good shot, man.
What’s a Dwyer? The name is only pulling up a measuring equipment manufacturer for me
Thank you!
