Some reactions to
When President Trump said he would protect 2nd amendment, a man was shouting from the Speaker’s box. A plain-clothed officer came over and removed the man, Parkland dad Fred Guttenberg - a guest of Speaker Pelosi.— John R Parkinson (@jparkABC) February 5, 2020
He’s shoving the noses of more than half of the nation into a pile of his own excrement.— P. Suave (@pepinosuave) February 5, 2020
It takes a lot of chutzpah to say “my Administration is defending religious liberty” after pushing a hateful and bigoted ban on a specific religion.— Rep. Val Demings (@RepValDemings) February 5, 2020
"Thank you, Mitch"— Susan Glasser (@sbg1) February 5, 2020
Quote of the night from President Trump?
Rush Limbaugh called a Georgetown student a "slut" and a "prostitute" because she advocated for the insurance coverage of birth control. Trump just gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.— Laura Bassett (@LEBassett) February 5, 2020
He just doesn’t show the same zest in speeches where he’s kept from doing the racism.— ana marie cox (@anamariecox) February 5, 2020
Trump is spinning a tale that America is a blue collar paradise envied by the world. Forget the three per minute factual errors. His whole state of the union is a massive lie.— Edward Luce (@EdwardGLuce) February 5, 2020

Annie Oakley, and the beautiful, beautiful Alamo. If I may quote President George W Bush, that was some weird shit.— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) February 5, 2020
BONUS: Then there were the lies, coming three- a- minute. WaPo fact checked.
BONUS II: Here are some quotes from hate radio Presidential medal awardee Rush "Oxycontin Rush" Limbaugh. Media Matters has more, if you can stomach it. That's the depth of depravity typical of this awful regime.

Some Democrats walked out, some spoke out about HR3 and Nancy Pelosi ripped his speech in two, literally.
ReplyDeleteI applaud these moves, as they reflect how I feel about this administration. Trump lied and grandstanded and sent racist dogwhistles in his speech and we have to stand up against it. I'm glad the Democrats did so.
The Republicans will be insufferable now. When they acquit Trump today, they will be unleashed to do whatever they can dream up. They will continue to block key legislation and they will all keep looking the other way as Trump jumps happily into another corrupt scheme.
Feeling low today, but I know it's just another hurdle we have to jump.
donnah -- Trump's election mobilized Dems and Independents to flock to the polls in 2018. He'll campaign the same way this election cycle, and will anger and fire up the base like nothing else. His vile character and corruption is our best campaign poster.
