    this is the part I loved, he played them, they were giving him backroom deals to make cuts to social security and medicare, but after that, no way they can continue down that path now, lol

    Trump has always been what he is, including when he was a darling of your Democrat party. I don't think anyone ever said the word Trump and morality in the same sentence.

    I never watch SOTUs, regardless of who POTUS is. I have no patience for the staged kabuki, the endless laundry lists, and the inevitable cherry-picked Joe Sixpacks in the gallery. "Here's Cletus Toejam from Tyler, Tx. Cletus went to the emergency room with covid, and his left arm was accidentally amputated. His arm was reattached, but now Cletus has leprosy and genital warts. Here's how we're going to help Cletus and millions of Americans like him..."

    Meh.

    That's pure white trash right there. A classless old bag.

    Really? You can't think of one iota of similarity between two people interrupting SOTU addresses? :roflol:

    I might agree if the camera was off and no one was watching anymore. But that's just not the case Finn.

    You just responded to it. If you demand further evidence of what I posted I suggest you do a bit of research my friend.

    Oh, Pelosi definitely stepped on Trump's toes, politically; but it was after the speech, which all had tuned in to watch, had concluded. The only thing she "interrupted," was the President's "victory lap" exit, which is not part of the State of the Union Address, IMO.

    You can call it "immature," if you like, but you cannot call it an "interruption," of the SOTU-- as was the case with MTG's outbursts.

    Three things:

    1. I'm not a Democrat.

    2. I've been involved in politics and voting since 1972, and I can assure you that Donald Trump was never their "darling." He was never anything but a bad joke.

    3. If one expects morality, dignity, and empathy from their president, they got none from Trump. If you're okay with what he's always been: liar, cheater, crook, flim flam man, misogynist, unfaithful wretch with no ability to keep it zipped, and the emotional development of a two year old, then congratulations, you got what you wanted. Personally, I think America deserves better, and while far from perfect, Biden is better.

    That isn't how debates work.

    You tossed out some numbers that for all we know, you pulled out of thin air. Either back those numbers up with your source, or you've lost the debate.

    Basic debate rules:

    • The team supporting the motion must not shift its point of view.
    • If a speaker makes a statement, they must be able to provide evidence or reasons to support the statement.
    • Facts presented in a debate must be accurate.
    • Speakers may not bring up new points in a rebuttal speech.
    So, put up or shut up.

    Go ahead and search the video yourself. It was after Trump finished, and it looked like Donald didn't even know about it.

    Nonsense. Democrats bood and jeered at Trump during his STOTU.

    https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/2...-boo-groan-glower-trump-s-state-union-n843146

    There was also this Joker-like animated response from Pelosi...

    Republicans don't have a monopoly on immaturity during a STOTU speech.

    That's not interrupting!

    See it for yourself, but I know it won't change your mind.

    While I wouldn't be caught dead in that yellow dress, I don't find it provocative at all, and definitely not "sexy". Do you? I think she wore it for attention, but it is horrid.

    Not really. In many ways Biden is worse. Especially when it comes to actually running the country and handling foreign affairs. I'd take poor behavior in speaches things like the debacle in Afghanistan.

    Yet it was Trump that the entire world laughed at, save those who were fellating him or he was fellating.

    If honesty ruled, the world laughs at ByDummy too :) The sad part is, they're actually laughing at all of us :(
