Some of us here in Michigan would just be happy if she got back in touch with her actual constituents. We've been asking for responses for weeks now about those votes on cabinet picks and other things.
I find it interesting they went with when you have Maxwell Frost, Ayanna Pressley, AOC and Jasmine Crockett have all been VERY vocal and VERY public in their opposition of Trump.
Yeah -- lots of women coming forward as usual -- men in power step aside to let a talented woman hold court and clean up a mess -- then they throw her under the bus and take credit
They chose well. They are too public and doing great as they are. This was a strategic pick for those who are upset but maybe voted for trump and are still pulling away from a cult. It’s a perfect choice.
Since he can barely speak a complete sentence, and can’t follow a teleprompter, he’ll throw psychobabble and lies, if he doesn’t chicken out. Elissa will make mincemeat out of him.
Slotkin is one of my senators and I had high hopes for her. But she voted for some of Bozo’s cabinet choices. I tried to chalk it up to her being brand new at the job, but I’m still wary of her.
I hope this is a good choice, nothing against Elissa Slotkin, but I have heard great rebuttals by Jasmin Crockett and OAC already and don't know why they wouldn't ask one of them except that the "establishment" seem scared of them, (probably because the "people" love them.)
But as she is in the HoR she doesn’t have a vote does she? I’m sure she wouldn’t have voted for any of them anyway but you are comparing apples and pears.
So I guess the Democrats plan to show up- not boycott. Having response time, is reason to show up. Still, I wonder- if disrespect for what he has already done- needs to be physically demonstrated— like not standing as he enters, or stand, face backwards. Or leave one by one, then come back for rebuttle? He needs to freak out on national tv, vs just ramble and lie. Who knows- somebody else ( may give the speech)Musk? Everybody should walk out.
The person giving the rebuttal isn't in the House chamber, they may not even be in the Capitol. Traditionally, there is no live audience for the rebuttal, but if they do, it won't be members of Congress. If Dems are in the House chamber for trump's speech, it's not to be there for Senator Slotkin.
March 4 is also the day his Canada and Mexico tariffs are due to kick in after the 30-day delay. That exquisite timing should give Sen. Slotkin some fun bonus material for her rebuttal.
Personally, I wish the Dems would NOT show up and use the Slotkin address as 'counter programming' on Meidas Touch or another YouTube channel. Screw the networks and screw the MAGAs
Will he talk about how they fired people willy-nilly and then had to hire them back because they were vital, and not just a statistic? Will he mention that the programs he is cutting are leaving people to starve in the US and foreign countries? Will he mention that some of the programs he has eliminated don't make a difference on the balance sheet, and that they are just a statistic? Will he continue his lie about Ukraine invaded Russia? Will he proclaim himself 'king'? Will he say that he is going to ignore whatever ruling a court puts on him, because he doesn't want to follow what the courts say? Will the republicunt side of the aisle all clap and cheer for him like the scared little sheep that they are?
There is still a presumption there will be elections in '26. Would that I could believe this. I also do not see Jefferies or Schumer as strong leaders and question their choice. Raskin or AOC are far better fighters. You cannot fight trump soto voce'.
She is a great choice for the rebuttal. She stands on principle and facts and will give the America people a clear vision of who we are and why Trump is not the deliverer he’s pretending to be, hiding behind his lies and vindictive nature as Musk runs roughshod over the Federal Government.
I'm sorry but she has voted yes on several cabinet picks. I'm not impressed. A little too moderate for this ass kicking task.
Some of us here in Michigan would just be happy if she got back in touch with her actual constituents. We've been asking for responses for weeks now about those votes on cabinet picks and other things.
Kathleen, I'm also concerned about her potentially offering "bipartisan" hope-y statements, appeasement pleas.
I share your concern that she may be too moderate for this task.
💯 she better step the f up after that complete shitshow
Kathleen…….well said and I completely agree
No, no more Shumer/Jeffries aspirations!
We need moderate for this.
I find it interesting they went with when you have Maxwell Frost, Ayanna Pressley, AOC and Jasmine Crockett have all been VERY vocal and VERY public in their opposition of Trump.
I like her fire and fury when she talks, knows exactly how to bring the democratic agenda to

Totally agree, Mr Gagne!
Since he can barely speak a complete sentence, and can’t follow a teleprompter, he’ll throw psychobabble and lies, if he doesn’t chicken out. Elissa will make mincemeat out of him.
If he chickens out, can Elissa still give her rebuttal?
He would probably give it to f’elon, like he has so much else. Then Elissa would really have fun.
Slotkin is one of my senators and I had high hopes for her. But she voted for some of Bozo’s cabinet choices. I tried to chalk it up to her being brand new at the job, but I’m still wary of her.
Several (more than a dozen) folks in my neighborhood have emailed, called, etc and have been unable to get a response from her office.
I join you in being wary of her, unfortunately.
I've done the same. All I've seen on her website have been released statements. Hmmmm....
I’ll take her and stick with her for doing the rebuttal. We need to stick together like glue!!
She's my senator too and I've sent emails, made calls, etc. Noem? Really?? I was so disappointed!I just want an honest why she did it.
I hope this is a good choice, nothing against Elissa Slotkin, but I have heard great rebuttals by Jasmin Crockett and OAC already and don't know why they wouldn't ask one of them except that the "establishment" seem scared of them, (probably because the "people" love them.)
Should be Jasmine Crockett!! She has not voted for any of Dumps cabinet pics!! She is the fire we need!!💙
She is amazing!!!
But as she is in the HoR she doesn’t have a vote does she? I’m sure she wouldn’t have voted for any of them anyway but you are comparing apples and pears.
Yes, yes, yes!!

So, isn’t this an opportunity for peaceful disobedience? Hog real air time with the WHY of it— while he’s blathering on.
I don’t mind if they show up. I just want them ALL to leave at least midway or well before he finishes.
Curious why we have heard little from his kids, especially his jewel in the frown, Ivanka.

This.

Interesting that they chose March 4th for this address--it's Fat Tuesday, so doubtful many people will be home to watch.
Orange fat ass giving his speech on Fat Tuesday. How fitting.
Maybe that's why they chose Fat Tuesday. However, in the age of the internet, if he just babbles or worse, it will go viral.
Perhaps that was the plan.
Personally, I wish the Dems would NOT show up and use the Slotkin address as 'counter programming' on Meidas Touch or another YouTube channel. Screw the networks and screw the MAGAs

The demented 79 years old will get his diaper filled ass kicked by an intelligent,brilliant Miss Slotkin.

No fighting trump.. we need to fight Mike Johnson, John Thune and get more democrats to get the majority!!
🎯🎯🎯about Schumer. Still waiting for Jeffries to put up his dukes.
She is a great choice for the rebuttal. She stands on principle and facts and will give the America people a clear vision of who we are and why Trump is not the deliverer he’s pretending to be, hiding behind his lies and vindictive nature as Musk runs roughshod over the Federal Government.
The Magats won't listen - she's not a white male.
I’m not impressed by her, however I AM IMPRESSED by Raskin, Crockett, & AOC.
But ANYONE is better than 34 Felonies and his Musketeer.
