By the way, the Speaker of the House controls the camera feed and what it can shoot on the House floor. That's why people at home didn't see most of what Democrats were doing.---Jason

EVERYONE needs to call out Mike Johnson for being such a hypocrite. All his claims about being such a Christian are so much hyperbole. He supports all the cuts in funding that is currently going on in DC. For example a true Christian would not take food or medicine from people who need it, would not halt any scientific research, especially for children. Would not just sit back with that nasty smile while Measles is spreading. Not state that they will make all trump's changes permanent, unchangeable by any future President, while they cause so much harm. And publicly discusses his and his son's porn use. DISGUSTING PERVERT!!! SELF AGGRANDIZING FAILURE AS A HUMAN. I make no claims to Christian perfection, I am simply a senior citizen with all my flaws and failures. We all have flaws, but this guy has around a zillion. Please call him out, Drown him in letters, phone calls, emails. Wipe that smirk off his face. PLEASE!!!!

It's time to ask him what was the Evangelical question not so long ago, "What would Jesus do?" and let him stew on that one. It's time to call him out for what/who he is: a hypocrite.

You stated that very well.

Can there be another camera in there?

Expand full comment

Nope. There is only one central feed controlled by the Speaker. That is why the coverage is always more interesting when there is no speaker elected, because without a Speaker C-SPAN can have as many cameras shooting as much as they want. When Johnson gaveled out and spoke to Green, the camera could cut to Green, but notice that when Johnson told Trump to resume his speech, Green's exit was not shown on TV.---Jason

Why did the speaker have that option? I thought it was a joint address!

Expand full comment

Because of the size of the chambers, any joint address happens in the house. This is the same when they count electoral votes etc…if it happens inside the house the speaker gets gavel privileges.

I understand, it’s a bull💩 rule. But republicans were never known for fairness!

The Democrats certainly know this. Let's question their true motives then. Why did they choose to not support Al Green? I cannot support a party that one, did not challenge the election results, two, certified the election, and three, has been confirming oligarchs to run the country.

Expand full comment

Well that's certainly unfair and should be illegal for any party to control the narrative like that.

This is exactly what needed to happen. You know how Trump likes crowds. That’s one of the reasons I didn’t watch, not to mention I can’t stand his face or voice.

Thank you for the clarification.

Ridiculous. You’re the reason Trump can have ‘A NOBODY’ invade our federal government destroying everything in his path.

Did you agree with January 6th insurrection?

You’re easily fooled by smoke and mirrors. trumps using those people as props, just like you are now.

You’re the reason soon, we as a country, will be abandon by our allies to be left with Putin.

Trump used those people for his own gratification and aggrandizement. That's not what you do to people that have been damaged. Not one thing he did will make their lives better, and most of what he said was bullshit anyway. Go stick your head back in the toilet.

Why would I need to? I don't respect your opinion in the least. The time for being nice and taking the high road has long since passed. These gas bags need to be removed from office, and from invading our personal information, and in a more perfect world, imprisoned. DJT is nothing more than a convicted criminal, a liar, a cheat, and a pimple on the collective asses of the American people. Is that plain enough for you? NO RESPECT when you can't see the true bottom line here.

No, personal insults were an art form reaching a new standard that was set by our Russian asset, Fascist President. Every single campaign speech of his was designed around a stream of personal insults, whether it was DeSantis, Christy, Nicki Haley or K. Harris and the MAGA audiences lapped it up and encouraged it. You can have your political opinion, no matter how many oppose it, but you can’t whitewash arrogant petulance because you agree with the petulant recipient of your dedication.

Expand full comment

Oh it's not personal, to the extent that I feel the same way about anyone that voted for him, and who continues to try and gaslight those of us that know the truth. You can fool yourself (and call it anything you want) but you are't fooling the majority of us. Might as well get that understood right now. If people are to stupid or willful to see what is happening right under their noses, than that's how they will be treated.

Fred maybe you should be directing your ire to ypur dear leader

who can always find a nasty name or lie about anyone who crosses him.

You are brainwashed, deluded or just as loathsome as trump and muskrat. They are greedy oligarchs who only care about themselves and gaining more money and more power.

trumo and his herd of turds are destroying our democracy for their own gain.

You have the wrong end of the stick, unless you also thought mango was soooo fine. We have every right to protest and those you mentioned would be right there. Disrespect????? Good Grief!! Who do you think they were protesting for? On who's behalf? The one who wants to take over Gaza, throw the people out that mango does not like, make it the Riviera of th Middle East to so MAGATS MAGGOTS can vacation there????? Read, learn, study, get some facts and then apologize to the protestors WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR THE COUNTRY I ASSUME YOU LIVE IN, THE FORMER USA. NOT UNITED STATES OF TRUMP.

He used that child as a prop. This was a night of him lying, and acting like was rally for his MAGA base. I guess it was, since apparently that is who you are. Musk, with Trump’s approval, ended government funding for research into childhood cancers. As a great grandmother to 5, soon to be six, I am so angry that he did that! It is all so he can give larger tax breaks to billionaires who already don’t pay their fair share in taxes!

I was listening to Steve Schmidt live fact correct which had to occur after every single sentence . Then he added mocking comments which were both informative and hilarious .

The only time the mocking stopped altogether , and Steve was reverent commenting was during the victims - but he did provide appropriate commentary even then , respecting those individuals .

Over 7k people joined - probably more have watched even today . A very good sized following- you can go watch today , I’m sure he has posted it . I think it would be very good for you to get a good dose of reality outside of the cult bubble.

We see enough pasted talking points to know exactly what you’re doing - and frankly it’s laughable.

Out here and with Dems, progressives etc - we like to engage in critical thinking - it kinda defines us, tbh. Come loaded for bear and not talking points - this looks like a 4th graders attempt to make a point - but, but didn’t you care 🙄

We feel very sad about the victims that DJT uses to puff himself up. Like he gives 2 shits about Corey Comperatore , his wife, or his daughters , like he gives 2 💩💩about anyone other than himself - I assure you , he does not.

Any way, go listen to the live comments by Steve Schmidt last night - it’ll give you a good idea of lies, lies, lies, lies, liiiiiiiieess, me, me, me , lies lies lies , God saved me to save the country , but alas god didn’t care about the brave firefighter with children and wife who loved him bc I was more important .😉🤩

Trump comes across as a slimy mob boss with his blustering and lying. He is a massive turn off and his outrageous self aggrandizement is laughable. He thinks he can force the congress and the country to let him do whatever he wants. Who is going to stop him? Looking at you, John Roberts.

We need a drangue: The kucedra or kulshedra is a mythological creature in Albanian mythology that is usually depicted as a large, multi-headed dragon with 7 heads. In Albanian mythology, she is usually attacked and defeated by a drangue, a divine being who is regarded as the protector of mankind.

No one wants to listen to a corrupt illiterate cruel liar who serves Putin and his billionaire buddies. Trump is scum. Al Green is standing up for the American people. Trump is lying to the American people so he can steal our money, our country, and hand the riches over to his friends…. Trillions and trillions in tax cuts for them. Illegal firings, tariffs, a crashing stock market, and the raping of American rights for us. We must continue to RESIST.
