You've been drinking tonight?

He did 16 shots

 

[hog88]

To be honest the weird guy with the cane was the smartest one in the room. He probably made it home in time to catch the end of the Tennessee baseball game.

Nah. The game ended well before the speech was over.

 

[utvolpj]

You seem to be missing the point the more you post. Everyone pretty recognizes it as performative.

Were that really true the outrage wouldn't be as strong (unless it's performative as well). The number of * in a post is usually an indicator

 

[hog88]

A trumper talking about manners and decorum is hysterical.
He, more than any individual in the history of the US, is responsible for the lessening of those things.

Sure thing.

 

[jwells]

Yep.

You don’t stand as a sign that you support the speaker. You don’t stand as a sign that you support the decision to bring the child into the environment and put the spotlight on him.

You stand and applaud because there is a little boy in the room that’s been through hell. And he’s getting an award. And he’s filled with joy. And he can see the entire audience. And you are a fu***** adult that can set your hatred for the President aside for 15 seconds to acknowledge and applaud a little boy with brain cancer. It’s a sign you aren’t completely heartless and have some shred of empathy.

Political Theater.

New report finds DOGE would cut $101 billion from children’s programs

Kids would shoulder 20% of all "efficiency" cuts A new analysis finds that cuts proposed by President Trump’s efficiency advisors would drain more than

Funding for Childhood Cancer Research Cut From U.S. Spending Bill

Why were several bipartisan provisions funding pediatric cancer research cut from the latest Congressional spending package? Here’s what you should know.

'Devastating': DOGE cuts reportedly put cancer-stricken kindergartner's life at risk

A Michigan kindergartner's family is relying on experimental treatments and research courtesy of the National Institutes of Health to fight his extremely rare form of cancer — and that treatment could be up in the air amid cuts from tech billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government...

Bring up the kid with Cancer and give him an award. Really nice moment for the kid. He doesn't know that when these guys head back into the office, they vote and work to undermine the lifesaving care he needs.

Donald Trump can talk about this all he wants, but his actions show he doesn't give a damn about childhood cancer. Another person used as a political prop. See: Latinos, African-Americans, Cubans, LGBT, etc etc etc.

 

[AirVol]

Regardless of party, the 13 year old brain cancer survivor deserved everyone’s applause, but the Dims showed their true colors last night. Anyone that defends their actions are idiots too.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Nah. The game ended well before the speech was over.

Kind of my point. The weird guy was escorted out early in the speech.

 

[GroverCleveland]

It's as much a tradition as the feigned outrage when the other side acts predictably. I'm just over the performance

If you're over it, then why are you posting multiple times about it?

You're young so you got a long time to watch the show, step off the high horse.

Uh maybe because no one will know how over it I truly am if I don't tell them. Isn't that how this board usually works?

"HOW DARE THE OTHER SIDE NOT PLAY ALONG WITH OUR POLITICAL THEATER!" cries the people who literally cut childhood cancer funding not 3 months ago.

FactChecking Trump's Address to Congress - FactCheck.org

In his first address to a joint session of Congress in his second term, President Donald Trump distorted the facts on fraud, immigration, aid to Ukraine, the economy, autism and more.

The only fact that needs to be known is that was a slaughter. (not really a fact for the insane I'm sure)

You've convinced me.

Board! @utvolpj is OVER IT! And will continue to tell us how over it he is.

 

[Orange_Crush]

They're predictable and it doesn't work anymore so it just looks strange to everyone now and has the opposite impact intended. I said something similar last summer, they either need to get to work or find a new gag... this one doesn't work anymore.

They might as well be campaigning for Vance right now.

The Dem party seems to have sold out to the fringe left. Their play seems to still be just firing them up so that they get vocal, in an attempt to give the perception that the huge minority is speaking as the supposed cultural norm and desire. It is no longer working, and it's slow-but-quickening-suicide.

They need to wizen up and become a viable party, as the only thing worse than a two-party government is a one-party government.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Why do you say that? If anything she's conceding some points and saying, correctly, the Devil is in the details. I'd love to see each POTUS, regardless of party, have to listen and then discuss the alternative position.

We tried the Democrats position. It's why we are where we are. Divided country.

 

[hog88]

Kind of my point. The weird guy was escorted out early in the speech.

Yeah I missed that, I was watching the game. Dong! Dong! Dong!

NM; it was mentioned.

Brainwashed on a continuum? Or is it like an all or nothing kind of deal?

Its appears to be all coming down.

[SpaceCoastVol]

I had no interest in watching. Only just now reading the play-by-play. What did I miss re: ships?

Building a ship load.

 

[MemphisVol77]

The number of times this has been brought up tells me it was simply a cheap ploy from a performer. The dems played right into it but there was no reason to have it

And can we stop pretending either side gives a damn about the us troops? Kids were born during, fought and died in the same non stop wars. Doge cut off the VA suicide hotline.

This is all just theater to keep the people occupied while we're robbed blind. A magic show

I agree, but lets not pretend the Dems & Reps in attendance aren't part of the show.

Play the role.

Dems breaking the 4th wall for cancer kid isn't the best optics.

What can I say, I like dongs. Long ones make me happy.
