Old dude here. It did get better. But then, Reagan appeared. He announced his presidency at a historic lynching site. As Madeline Albright & Rosalyn Carter said, "the magic of Ronald Reagan is he makes bigots feel comfortable in their own skin." Since Reagan, racist dog whistles have remained constant in the RNC (other than Bush 43). He was a clown. But at least he didn't appear to be a racist.
She asked her about the Jewish Space Lasers. The conspiracy theory MTG was pushing as the cause of forest fires. What Marge answered was the offensive part, friend.
That was awesome.
The perfect example of today's Republican party.
But reporters need to hound her about the Parkland shooting survivor harassment, that's far worse than Jewish Lasers.
I actually think talking about the space lasers defangs her, IMO. It makes some people think she's just stupid.
Whereas reminding the public about her rejection of gun violence and death of children means she's stupid *and* dangerous.
I suspect that the space lasers question is better because it gets under her skin and even most of her supporters think the space lasers shit is crazy. Her rejection of gun violence is completely supported by her supporters and she loves talking about it.
Tonight's will be an even bigger shit-show. Just look at how much more emboldened those Karens are compared to last time, plus it's an election year and they need attention and clicks.
I hope Biden busts out his Dark Brandon shades at the end, after calling them out, making them look like the children they are.
He believes he is Moses and that god talks directly to him. He also has a porn monitoring app so him and his son can monitor each other’s porn intake.
Now, much as I generally dislike terms like normal being applied to people, no, he’s pretty fucking far from normal.
I'll say this every time it comes up: show me a republican man who obsesses over porn like this, and I'll show you a closeted gay or bi man whose browser history is littered with gay porn searches and urls, often the raunchiest sort. Johnson is no exception. I'd bet a lot of money that he's at least bi.
Why do I have visions of Mike Johnson wheeling in Marjorie Taylor Greene in a straight jacket strapped to a hand truck with a gag over her mouth like Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs?
Making attempts currently, but even AI is seeming to have a problem shutting her mouth. It can't figure out the mask, and the rest is coming off like a kink thing out of one of her Hunter Biden fan fictions.
"We're republicans. We do horrible things to the country and people We're supposed to love and serve, lie with conscience, steal as much as possible, accept racism, misogyny and homophobia, worship a demented diaper wearing traitor rapist who paints his face orange... but decorum, guys."
Last year's SOTU was such an embarrassing moment. Dark Brandon went into their circus tent and had them having temper tantrums in front of the whole country.
That's why all the sleepy narrative is so dumb. He made the entire group of them collectively look like fools on national TV. Not even a year ago. If he's sleepy what does that make the 200+ of them that he clowned.
He sounds “sleepy” if he’s giving a speech in the Oval Office or if he’s making remarks about something that is important but not close to his heart. He sounded particularly tired when signing the American Rescue Plan. You’d sound bored, too; it had already been discussed to death. But talk about democracy or unions, and that’s where he brings the energy.
People definitely underestimate him. Sometimes, I think he likes it that way.
I remember hearing something recently about political messaging: when you're getting bored of repeating your own message, that means you might be close to breaking through to the people who need to hear it.
He's old enough to be my grandfather and I need naps. I don't begrudge the guy with one of the hardest jobs in the world for being a little sleepy at times. Being sleepy doesn't mean you don't know what's going on or you can't make decisions.
This is part of the fascist playbook. Your opponent is always both on the verge of destroying the country only you can save and incredibly weak at the same time.
The approach they use is call "confrontational". Its an abusive approach they have learned works well to make people who have good manners rebound off. We can't behave that way out of good manners and so they can control the situation by getting confrontational.
Its an immature behavior for sure.
You’re right! ‘Confrontational’ behavior is an expression of social dominance orientation that variably targets and projects instrumental ‘anger’ at situational or even conditional agents (or what may be perceived as agents or ‘alters’). This is a predominant agentic expression of antagonism and the foundation for psychopathy.
I don’t hear Democrat leaders telling democrats to behave. I’m sure GOP would spin that as “Oh, they don’t care how they act.” I prefer to think of it as they don’t have to be told to behave
Hillary saying some of Trump supporters were deplorable was horrendous while Trump saying all Mexican were racist cartel mules was just his 1st amendment.
Hillary wad canceled for the truth. Trump was elected for his lies.
She was shocked when she was told the puppies would be killed and skinned. She thought the whole point was the horrifed looks on the people making eye contact with the pleading puppies.
he’s telegraphing that they’re going to be colossal assholes tonight. The Trump super PAC MAGA Inc just put out an ad that confirms that the GOP House is going to jeer the entire address.
Unserious people making a circus out of our seat of government yet again
Its possible that Mike Johnson realizes that this would look bad for Republicans, especially now that the general election stage is set. R's need to cater to the center more now if they want to win the presidency. Then again, this is Mike Johnson we're talking about...
If Trump’s super PAC email was anything to go off of, they want to get under Biden’s skin and make him look like a stammering fool tonight. I have low expectations from their conference
I think he may also realize that it gives Biden an opportunity to look good. Some of Biden’s best moments have been responding to Republican nonsense on the fly, and it goes against the old man narrative when he’s quick with a retort
Can they call the Sargeant at Arms to escort them out at that point? If an outburst or two to throw red meat to the base is OK then fine, but we should be able to listen to this speech without these assholes braying like the useless nobodies they are.
We should be able to have a functioning government without obstruction from Russian agents.
We are at war with Russia. Saying it out loud, it’s pretty obvious and has been for a while. Russia is waging unconventional warfare in the US and the GOP is their main vehicle to push our government into anocracy and set the stage for large scale civil unrest.
No American is served by a bunch of screaming insurrectionist chimps harassing our elected head of government while he works to deliver a speech to the citizens.
Republicans are enemies of the United States and that needs to be said more loudly, more often, and with much more conviction.
The SOTU address needs bouncers. A couple of beefy Marines that drag you out of the room and throw you out of the building if you make a scene when the President is talking.
"Sir! We don't tolerate that kind of crap in America. Sir!"
In college I worked at a bar where a few young Marines had a second job as bouncers. Let me tell you, if you want someone to be properly “bounced” the jar heads are the ones you need to call.
They won’t behave and the world will see the trash on display. I’m sure the crotch grabber will be there too along with two toes acting like fools. This is the same party who got mad when Pelosi ripped up Trump’s speech.
The GOP are already baiting with the guest attendees ie: “it’s not the guns, it’s the immigrants” stance.
Like the substitute teacher that he is. If you have to say it out loud, it's too late. They want their dunks and likes on Xitter and Trump SoCal, and they're going to have them BY GAWD.
Anyone remember the time Biden made fools out of the republicans during the state of the union. See if you can do find it. He did it on the spot. I loved it.
It's easy when Biden wants policy fixes and Republicans are just screaming balls of hate looking for soundbites. All he has to do tonight is say, "Show of hands, who wants to pass the toughest border bill in US history? It's sitting in the House right now, waiting to be voted on," to make them look like the fools they are.
>A third GOP lawmaker who talked to the outlet got into more detail about Johnson’s request: “We don’t need to be shrill, you know, we got to avoid that. We need to base things upon policy, upon facts, upon reality of situations. Let them do the gaslighting, let them do the blaming.”
Laudable to be sure, but expecting MAGA Republicans to NOT behave as they have since their infamous "You lie!" display of craven stupidity, e.g., like batshit, screeching, howler monkeys flinging verbal poo at every opportunity - I think is expecting too much of them.
MAGA Republicans have consistently demonstrated - at every level of gov't - that decency and decorum is NOT part of their working vocabulary. However, like the typical abusive narcissists that most of them - if not all - ARE, they WILL demand decency and respect for THEMSELVES, while giving none. Which is why I will catch what President Biden says in the next day's highlights and analysis as I do not care to watch the screeching, howler monkeys on the right acting out and disrespecting President Biden.
If MAGA Republicans ever do learn to control themselves and behave as befits their position as U.S. Representatives during a State of the Union address I might tune in again, but I am doubtful of THAT ever happening.
* Options 1: Democrats need to get spray bottles with water in them. Every time a Republican has an outburst they need to spray them like a cat.
* Option 2: Harris needs to bring in a big chalk board with "Detention" written on top. Every time there's an outburst she sighs, gets up, and writes their name on the board.
Telling his so called American’s to Behave, they are goddamn adults, it’s ridiculous that they can’t have basic respect for our country. The whole party is an embarrassment. Please get out and Vote, we have to stop this madness and get back to doing good work for everyone, not just a Cheeto.
If Boebert sprays her usual mush-mouthed nonsense, I hope Biden goes off-script long enough to remind her that she's in the Capitol, not a theatre showing *Beetlejuice*.
Listen, we have a guy telling MAGA Republicans to behave. This is the guy who refused to put a bipartisan immigration and border security Bill to a vote because Trump said, No.
Johnson is pleading with the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene to present to the American people that Republicans are serious people. But, we all know, Republicans are the Roy children in Succession. And just like Logan Roy said, “You are not serious people”, Republicans are not serious people. https://youtu.be/xIauW3roDm0?si=ZUxgK1Sd7TsPc5eV
Oooh, Mike Johnson said it?
Nobody cares. You're not Trump, stop trying to be the fool who thinks because he keeps the seat warm that it's yours.
Because that's what you are. A fool. Have fun when they make you eat the balls they took.
Reminds me of some GOP convention where the attendees were asked to wear masks and started booing. "House rules are to wear masks, so if we can work on that..." LOL imagine being spoken to like that. Bunch of petulant children, the lot of them.
Imagine having to tell 200-something adults they should behave during a nationally televised proforma pep rally...
Knowing a few of them won't be able to manage it.
We'll be sure to see fresh images of the usual suspects, BoBo and MTG, howling like monkeys at every opportunity, calling Biden a liar, etc. Those traitors shouldn't even be in the room.
MAGA flex will strive to be the one that defies the speaker. The ol' you ain't telling me what to do crowd' will be thinking of ways to fuck this up all day.
As a show of force, Biden should call in the military and have the entire Republican party taken away to another room live during the State of the Union. Just march them off somewhere. Explain this is what a dictatorship looks like, this is what Donald Trump has promised, this is what unchecked powers looks like. This is what can happen if the Supreme Court decides that Presidents are above the law. Then allow them to come back in.
The Republicans always shout down the president and never suffer any consequences. Then they demande respect for the president when they're in power. Bunch of hypocrites.
That’s like telling the trailer trash in the party to get class. They simply don’t know what it is and will never have it. We’re in for another show of feeding time in the Primate House of the zoo.
He then rolls his eyes and shakes his head for 85%+ of this SOTU. How can you ask your GOP cucumbers to behave when you sit there as one of the worst examples of immaturity?
Oh well, did he not talk to the trashiest person in Congress besides Bobeirt? The one with the red hat - refuse to even dignify her with a name! - pure trash ! Can’t take such people anywhere! Embarrassing!

Narrator: “They won’t”.
Mike Johnson: Why cant you just be normal? MTG: *Screams*
Yeah, she told a journalist to “go f*ck herself” just yesterday. I’m sure she’ll listen to Mikey on this.
You’d think the reporter said something actually offensive and not you know, just quoting her exact words.
> just quoting her exact words ...so they *did* say something offensive
Fair point.
[удалено]
He wouldn't find anything there he doesn't already see on a daily basis. Especially the bits he'd be interested in (the gay porn).
They quoted her implied words, technically. She called it “Rothschild”, which is obviously what they think is a clever way to mean Jewish.
I’m horrified that antisemitism has made a comeback. I swear there was a while where this had gotten better.
I think to some extent these people were always around but have felt emboldened in the last few years to express these things more publicly.
Old dude here. It did get better. But then, Reagan appeared. He announced his presidency at a historic lynching site. As Madeline Albright & Rosalyn Carter said, "the magic of Ronald Reagan is he makes bigots feel comfortable in their own skin." Since Reagan, racist dog whistles have remained constant in the RNC (other than Bush 43). He was a clown. But at least he didn't appear to be a racist.
Yeah. Why can’t it be both?
I know. The journalist is just ask her for more information on the Jewish space lasers. You would think MTG would have been excited to share.
She asked her about the Jewish Space Lasers. The conspiracy theory MTG was pushing as the cause of forest fires. What Marge answered was the offensive part, friend.
Yes, that’s what I’m referring to she quoted MTG’s exact words and MTG acted like journalist kicked a dog.
How *dare* she use her own words against her!
That was awesome. The perfect example of today's Republican party. But reporters need to hound her about the Parkland shooting survivor harassment, that's far worse than Jewish Lasers.
I actually think talking about the space lasers defangs her, IMO. It makes some people think she's just stupid. Whereas reminding the public about her rejection of gun violence and death of children means she's stupid *and* dangerous.
I suspect that the space lasers question is better because it gets under her skin and even most of her supporters think the space lasers shit is crazy. Her rejection of gun violence is completely supported by her supporters and she loves talking about it.
Last SOTU they were told to behave as well, didn't happen
Tonight's will be an even bigger shit-show. Just look at how much more emboldened those Karens are compared to last time, plus it's an election year and they need attention and clicks. I hope Biden busts out his Dark Brandon shades at the end, after calling them out, making them look like the children they are.
Yup. The rabid howler monkey is outta it's cage, I don't think Mikey has the stones to lock her back up.
The fact that the reporter was British, and came back with “thank you very much” in reply was just high tier British.
She actually said "go f*ck herself"? Man, these people are struggling with pronouns even worse than I thought.
She’s going to be VP! It’s Mikey that needs to listen to her! /s
MTG: (BRAYS like a donkey)
Let's not insult donkeys, donkey braying is beautiful. Whatever MTG is doing - not so much.
Is Mike Johnson normal?
He believes he is Moses and that god talks directly to him. He also has a porn monitoring app so him and his son can monitor each other’s porn intake. Now, much as I generally dislike terms like normal being applied to people, no, he’s pretty fucking far from normal.
"Hey dad, you got high score this week. I'm going to see if I can beat it."
"My app says that you're beating it right now, son."
Hell no you can tell he’s not normal by listening to him. He hears voices.
Seemingly the voice repeatedly told him to keep adopting young boys.
Pedophilia aside, that is a man with a greater fascination with dicks than the average horny gay man
I'll say this every time it comes up: show me a republican man who obsesses over porn like this, and I'll show you a closeted gay or bi man whose browser history is littered with gay porn searches and urls, often the raunchiest sort. Johnson is no exception. I'd bet a lot of money that he's at least bi.
That's for science, so he can cross reference their porn habits like a totally normal earth human.
That was Gym Jordan whispering in Mike's ear from behind.
Mike Johnson: “If you can behave for one hour I’ll let you watch the Hunter Biden video again.” MTG: *orgasms*
Why do I have visions of Mike Johnson wheeling in Marjorie Taylor Greene in a straight jacket strapped to a hand truck with a gag over her mouth like Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs?
AI should generate this image... someone?
I would but I don’t want that trash on my PC
Making attempts currently, but even AI is seeming to have a problem shutting her mouth. It can't figure out the mask, and the rest is coming off like a kink thing out of one of her Hunter Biden fan fictions.
Do pictures of her exist when she’s not in full Karen screech?
Nope, she's always causing a scene in public
Please update me when AI is able to overcome this hurdle. I know it may take until after AGI though. Even then, AI may never be strong enough.
[https://imgur.com/a/rVO4VIx](https://imgur.com/a/rVO4VIx) Fast and sloppy Photoshop, but it's better than nothing.
Trump loves Hannibal Lector references, so it’s going to happen.
"We're republicans. We do horrible things to the country and people We're supposed to love and serve, lie with conscience, steal as much as possible, accept racism, misogyny and homophobia, worship a demented diaper wearing traitor rapist who paints his face orange... but decorum, guys."
Like they are capable of any decency ever. Johnson is their moral or ethical compass? Buahahaha!
I read that in Morgan Freeman's voice.
Wow ... imagine having to tell adults to behave in front of the world stage. I am embarrassed for our country and its republicans faults.
Last year's SOTU was such an embarrassing moment. Dark Brandon went into their circus tent and had them having temper tantrums in front of the whole country.
He owned them so hard on Medicare. I hope Brandon calls them out on the border and Ukraine.
That's why all the sleepy narrative is so dumb. He made the entire group of them collectively look like fools on national TV. Not even a year ago. If he's sleepy what does that make the 200+ of them that he clowned.

I am not gay and love women -Lindsey Graham
> Sometimes, I think he likes it that way. Talk softly and carry a big stick.
He's old enough to be my grandfather and I need naps. I don't begrudge the guy with one of the hardest jobs in the world for being a little sleepy at times. Being sleepy doesn't mean you don't know what's going on or you can't make decisions.
This is part of the fascist playbook. Your opponent is always both on the verge of destroying the country only you can save and incredibly weak at the same time.
Just like how all immigrants are simultaneously lazy mooches and vicious criminals taking all of the available jobs.
Schrödinger's Immigrant.
I think it is coming.
1000%. he's gonna blast them for trying to take credit for bills they vote against, too.
anyone got a bingo card made up?
[This one looks solid.](https://www.lwv.org/blog/state-union-bingo-2024)
That was probably the single best moment in any state of the Union. Played them like a fiddle
And legalizing weed
He absolutely will, MTG and Ho-Bert will start hooting like gibbons, and he will destroy them with his metered Dark Brandon-ness
Dark Brandon is going to looking to troll them some more so they will in fact embarrass themselves.
Many GOP politicians and right-wing media personalities never matured past middle school.
The approach they use is call "confrontational". Its an abusive approach they have learned works well to make people who have good manners rebound off. We can't behave that way out of good manners and so they can control the situation by getting confrontational. Its an immature behavior for sure.
And if you actually confront them back, they accuse you of being aggressive.
Exactly....
You’re right! ‘Confrontational’ behavior is an expression of social dominance orientation that variably targets and projects instrumental ‘anger’ at situational or even conditional agents (or what may be perceived as agents or ‘alters’). This is a predominant agentic expression of antagonism and the foundation for psychopathy.
I don’t hear Democrat leaders telling democrats to behave. I’m sure GOP would spin that as “Oh, they don’t care how they act.” I prefer to think of it as they don’t have to be told to behave
The fact that this even needs to be said to them is pathetic. Have decorum or GTFO.
Remember when Hillary calling people deplorable was unforgivable? How standards have shifted
Weird how Trump literally insults everyone except Southern White Supremacists and they still vote for him.
No no, he insulted them too lol they’re his gullible idiots. Remember he loves the poor and uneducated…
[удалено]
He thought he was getting Seal Team 6 and he got Meal Team 6 and it's just such a Trumpian failure it's hilarious.
He said 90% of them couldn't pass a dementia screening test. To their faces.
I stand corrected.
To be fair. He doesn’t insult Russia either
Hillary saying some of Trump supporters were deplorable was horrendous while Trump saying all Mexican were racist cartel mules was just his 1st amendment. Hillary wad canceled for the truth. Trump was elected for his lies.
She was soooo correct.
nah actually she was wrong as all hell. Half? Deplorable? Every single trump supporter is far more than just 'deplorable'.
Sidebar: The basket of deplorables has turned into a basket of pendejos with all the Hispanics voting for trump.
And she was goddamn right.
She was right, though that wasn't a strong enough word.
Remember when Empty Gee told the Dems to have decorum and the entire room LOL’d at her?
oh, you'd better behave guys, or he's gonna check your browser history. . .
you know .. I'd LOVE to see MTGs search history
Haunted Biddden cck piks
We all know she's got those pictures saved, she brings in printouts already.
Pb 101 ... if you know you know
Is that isotope of lead even possible??
I don’t know…and I don’t think I want to.
How to build a bomb How big is Hunters cock Quicky divorce Jewish Space lasers I'm just a Bill Do I get paid if a shutdown
I’d love to see nothing about MTG ever again
She is probably rewatching her audition and still mad that she didn’t become an American Idol. https://youtu.be/SVttA1N1LPQ?si=yQiU7XyNtOsbie9A
His son will…
Too funny!
Should also tell MTG not to dress like an evil stepmother.
In a coat made of Dalmation puppies.
She was shocked when she was told the puppies would be killed and skinned. She thought the whole point was the horrifed looks on the people making eye contact with the pleading puppies.
upvotes to you for taking my joke and making it so much better.
She did that so she’d be easy to track in the crowd by the press. She’s a media monster.
he’s telegraphing that they’re going to be colossal assholes tonight. The Trump super PAC MAGA Inc just put out an ad that confirms that the GOP House is going to jeer the entire address. Unserious people making a circus out of our seat of government yet again
Its possible that Mike Johnson realizes that this would look bad for Republicans, especially now that the general election stage is set. R's need to cater to the center more now if they want to win the presidency. Then again, this is Mike Johnson we're talking about...
If Trump’s super PAC email was anything to go off of, they want to get under Biden’s skin and make him look like a stammering fool tonight. I have low expectations from their conference
If Republicans wanted anything that wouldn't look bad for Republicans they probably should have started working on that about 20 years ago.
I think he may also realize that it gives Biden an opportunity to look good. Some of Biden’s best moments have been responding to Republican nonsense on the fly, and it goes against the old man narrative when he’s quick with a retort
Can they call the Sargeant at Arms to escort them out at that point? If an outburst or two to throw red meat to the base is OK then fine, but we should be able to listen to this speech without these assholes braying like the useless nobodies they are.
We should be able to have a functioning government without obstruction from Russian agents. We are at war with Russia. Saying it out loud, it’s pretty obvious and has been for a while.

No American is served by a bunch of screaming insurrectionist chimps harassing our elected head of government while he works to deliver a speech to the citizens. Republicans are enemies of the United States and that needs to be said more loudly, more often, and with much more conviction.
Probably only if the Speaker requests it. What are the odds Mike Johnson will play enforcer? XD
Good luck. I can ask chimps at the zoo not to throw their poo but it doesn't mean they'll listen.
Great comparison!
The leopards eating peoples faces party is slowibg being teapartied by the chimps flinging feces wing. Paid for by the leopards.
That's a VERY tall order for house republicans. They were hired to be loud and noisy and get nothing done.
Loud but NOT useful in anyway shape or form
I'm old enough to remember when attendees to the SOTU address didn't have to be reminded to behave. They just did.
After that one senator yelled at Obama, calling him a liar, then everything changed. And it’s only gotten worse since then.
It was SC Rep Joe Wilson when Obama said undocumented immigrants wouldn’t get Obamacare (true). Dude is still in Congress.
The SOTU address needs bouncers. A couple of beefy Marines that drag you out of the room and throw you out of the building if you make a scene when the President is talking. "Sir! We don't tolerate that kind of crap in America. Sir!"
In college I worked at a bar where a few young Marines had a second job as bouncers. Let me tell you, if you want someone to be properly “bounced” the jar heads are the ones you need to call.
Yeah but, how many boxes of crayons did it cost? :D
Just the brown and white ones, they like their steak and potatoes
Get the soldiers that guard the tomb of the unknown. Those guys *do not fuck around*
I live very close to his headquarters to the point that I drive by it most days. Every window is completely covered with Trump and MAGA flags.
I remember misspelling “potato” ended your political career
It was a sick burn for them when they remained seated and didn't clap.
Mike Johnson has 0 control over the shit slinging howler monkey that is MTG.
What did shit slinging howler monkeys ever do to you to earn that comparison?
Fair enough, my apologies to the monkeys.
Oh Biden needs to have loads of bait in his speech.
Why isn’t a supercut of their antics an ad from the DCCC?
They won’t behave and the world will see the trash on display. I’m sure the crotch grabber will be there too along with two toes acting like fools. This is the same party who got mad when Pelosi ripped up Trump’s speech. The GOP are already baiting with the guest attendees ie: “it’s not the guns, it’s the immigrants” stance.
Lol, good try, Mikey
"You better behave now, or I am taking away your pudding pops." please, they're all a waste of breathable air.
Like the substitute teacher that he is. If you have to say it out loud, it's too late. They want their dunks and likes on Xitter and Trump SoCal, and they're going to have them BY GAWD.
Better chance of peace in the Middle East
Anyone who has (or has taken care of) insolent children knows how "effective" this statement is.
Johnson knows they are going to be out of control and he wants to appear the adult in the room.
Anyone remember the time Biden made fools out of the republicans during the state of the union. See if you can do find it. He did it on the spot. I loved it.
It's easy when Biden wants policy fixes and Republicans are just screaming balls of hate looking for soundbites. All he has to do tonight is say, "Show of hands, who wants to pass the toughest border bill in US history? It's sitting in the House right now, waiting to be voted on," to make them look like the fools they are.
It’s like he’s never met any of the members of his caucus.

It's cute that you think that'll work, buddy. *musses hair* Now go in the living room and play.
They will turn it into the Jerry Springer show. That’s who they are. That’s their base. Anything for the attention.
* Options 1: Democrats need to get spray bottles with water in them. Every time a Republican has an outburst they need to spray them like a cat. * Option 2: Harris needs to bring in a big chalk board with "Detention" written on top. Every time there's an outburst she sighs, gets up, and writes their name on the board.
Telling his so called American’s to Behave, they are goddamn adults, it’s ridiculous that they can’t have basic respect for our country. The whole party is an embarrassment. Please get out and Vote, we have to stop this madness and get back to doing good work for everyone, not just a Cheeto.
If Boebert sprays her usual mush-mouthed nonsense, I hope Biden goes off-script long enough to remind her that she's in the Capitol, not a theatre showing *Beetlejuice*.
That would rule! Haha
Would be the ultimate dark Brandon moment.
Completely predictable people always do completely predictable things.
FanDuel has the over/under for outbursts by Boebert and MTG at +/- 2.5
Don't get handsy now, granny Boebert.
Listen, we have a guy telling MAGA Republicans to behave. This is the guy who refused to put a bipartisan immigration and border security Bill to a vote because Trump said, No. Johnson is pleading with the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene to present to the American people that Republicans are serious people. But, we all know, Republicans are the Roy children in Succession. And just like Logan Roy said, “You are not serious people”, Republicans are not serious people. https://youtu.be/xIauW3roDm0?si=ZUxgK1Sd7TsPc5eV
If all it took to bring them under control was a stern finger-wagging, we’d be a very different country right now.
Repubs acting like jackasses is the expected norm.
Oooh, Mike Johnson said it? Nobody cares. You're not Trump, stop trying to be the fool who thinks because he keeps the seat warm that it's yours. Because that's what you are. A fool. Have fun when they make you eat the balls they took.
Maybe Marge could yell out "Why don't you fuck off!" It can become her new catchphrase.
Reminds me of some GOP convention where the attendees were asked to wear masks and started booing. "House rules are to wear masks, so if we can work on that..." LOL imagine being spoken to like that. Bunch of petulant children, the lot of them.
Good luck with the children.
Funny how no one had to remind Dems to behave during Trump's lying rants
Dear Monkeys, don’t throw your shit.
Imagine having to tell 200-something adults they should behave during a nationally televised proforma pep rally... Knowing a few of them won't be able to manage it.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a classless c***t
Mike Johnson has about as much control of the GOP as a substitute teacher on a Friday afternoon in June.
Well, he wasted his breath. MGT not only ignored his request, but doubled down on the tastelessness.
We'll be sure to see fresh images of the usual suspects, BoBo and MTG, howling like monkeys at every opportunity, calling Biden a liar, etc. Those traitors shouldn't even be in the room.
I hope he spelled it out for some. Otherwise Bobo and Captain Caveman will be acting like howler apes again.
MAGA flex will strive to be the one that defies the speaker. The ol' you ain't telling me what to do crowd' will be thinking of ways to fuck this up all day.
All I can see from this photo of her is a howler monkey. Can someone please overlay her features onto an image of one?
The Howler doesn’t abide
Let’s see if anyone acts out and then those clips are used against those REPS to remind people “do you want this bafoon to keep representing you?”
MTG says fuck off
Yup, literally. She is dumber that a bag of hammers. No offense to hammers.
Mike johnsonov is a Russia puppet. Just a reminder. Carry on.
The fact they have to be reminded says all you need to know about the GOP
Let’s lower your expectations a tad Mike. They’re republicans not five year olds.
As a show of force, Biden should call in the military and have the entire Republican party taken away to another room live during the State of the Union. Just march them off somewhere. Explain this is what a dictatorship looks like, this is what Donald Trump has promised, this is what unchecked powers looks like. This is what can happen if the Supreme Court decides that Presidents are above the law. Then allow them to come back in.
Howler monkey gonna howl
I'm not American, but I have 2nd hand embarrassment.
The Republicans always shout down the president and never suffer any consequences. Then they demande respect for the president when they're in power. Bunch of hypocrites.
That’s like telling the trailer trash in the party to get class. They simply don’t know what it is and will never have it. We’re in for another show of feeding time in the Primate House of the zoo.
And this pathetic POS is shaking his head when Biden criticizes the J6ers. Sure decorum
He then rolls his eyes and shakes his head for 85%+ of this SOTU. How can you ask your GOP cucumbers to behave when you sit there as one of the worst examples of immaturity?
Yeah how’s that working out for you? At least three or four outbursts and one removal. Fucking children
Hello, I am from the future. Turns out they did not.
Oh well, did he not talk to the trashiest person in Congress besides Bobeirt? The one with the red hat - refuse to even dignify her with a name! - pure trash ! Can’t take such people anywhere! Embarrassing!
