I’ll admit, Trump spoke for way, way too long. But, hey, if the Dems that showed up, with many saying they wouldn’t, wanted to sit there like bumps on a log and fail to cheer for the success of Americans and America, let them have the Gen Z Stare. But, when it came to illegal immigration, nope, they had to freak.
‘You have killed Americans’: Ilhan Omar tries to shout down Trump’s immigration attacks
For the first hour of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday, Democrats in the House chamber largely stuck to their plan: Sit in stony, defiant silence.
But once Trump began to level attacks on immigrants, that strategy went out the window.
Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib repeatedly yelled at Trump, objecting to his characterization of Minnesota’s Somali community as “pirates” and accusing him of enabling the deaths of US citizens through his hardline immigration crackdown in the state.
The back-and-forth crested after Trump told Democrats in the chamber they “should be ashamed” for refusing to stand and applaud in response to his declaration that the government’s primary duty is “to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
Why would that be controversial? That is the job of the federal government. Heck, state, county, and local governments should be protecting their citizens from illegals.
But as the president leaned into his more divisive policies, including his immigration crackdown that led to the fatal shootings of two US citizens in Minnesota, the protestations on the Democratic side of the aisle began to grow more audible.
Trump credited his immigration policies with sealing the southern border and rapidly deporting undocumented immigrants on multiple occasions, without mentioning the killings by federal immigration agents of protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti last month.
The president raised Omar’s ire in particular when he singled out Minnesota as a “stunning example” of the fraud that he’s alleged with little evidence is running rampant in blue states, blaming the state’s Somali community.
Little evidence? Somalis were arrested, tried, and sentenced for fraud. We all saw the fake “learing” centers and more. Whistleblowers said it was happening.
Anyhow, Dems failed to do anything but sit stone faced with mentions of America’s 250th birthday, drop in murder rate, drop in deaths from fentanyl, gas prices down, the wins for the men’s and women’s hockey teams at the Olympics, the upcoming Olympics in LA, honoring World War II veteran Buddy Taggart, awarding the Legion of Merit to Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskin, and more. Only illegals and 3rd World Islamists from Somalia in Minnesota got a response. Most did sit there like expressionless.
They’re trash, and the people they represent are trash. Also notice how many remained seated. After Trump’s speech they had Abigail Spanberger give the response
Monkey see… monkey do.
A subtle message.
Really now?
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
Another subtle message…
Bwaha! Lolgfy Losers!
MAGA47 Motherfuckers!
I believe they it is the city of my government to protect all not just citizens. That would of course the 40% of Somali Americans who are both children and also American citizens by birthright
Hey A.S.S.
When you write…. “I believe they it is the city of my government…”
You show the world that you are so upset with facts that you can’t think.
lololololololo
Jl,
The voice-to-text functions show as much fidelity as man-whore donnie does to his wives. How many lies must he have told all his wives to hide his adulteries?
The Lyin’ King!!!
Do you suspect ‘city’ was meant to be ‘duty’?
Do YOU believe it is the duty of our government to protect ONLY citizens? What about all the non-citizen migrants in our military?

I wish! He’s more understandable than Donnie Demento.
Aimee Bock, 45, white American citizen, was the ‘mastermind’ of the Feeding Our Future fraud in Minnesota.
During a” five-week trial last year, prosecutors alleged Bock signed off reimbursement claims for millions of meals that were never served. She was also charged with collecting bribes. Together, she and the meal site operators were accused of stealing tens of millions of federal dollars and spending it on luxury cars, real estate ventures and vacations.”
“When COVID hit, Trump’s USDA issued waivers that gave sponsors like Feeding Our Future more flexibility in how they distributed the food.”

The supreme court (trump refuses to capitalize it) gave the Mad King a life line with their tariff ruling! Tariffs (taxes) are paid by U.S. importers and consumers!! They’ve raised some $300 BILLION so far!! That’s about $2000 per U.S. worker.
The 2025 trade deficit was the third highest ever!
Maunfacturing output was up slightly, but over 100,000 manufacturing jobs lost. (translation: higher billionaire profits, the “working class” can suck it)
Federal debt unchanged. DOGE (LOL), tariffs, “stimulatory” tax cuts were supposed to cut the deficit.
No more wars! except *Iran, Venezuela, Syria… defense spending up!

* Didn’t Your Mad King shit all over the previous Iran nuclear deal? Did HE make the Iran problem go away? He “obliterated” their nuclear facilites just months ago, so what is the concern?
David Frum, former Republican…
“Trump’s name-calling of his predecessor and of the members of Congress in the chamber, his demands that legislators rise at his command, his strategic deployment of systematic untruth in service of those demands to rise and clap—put together, he misused the State of the Union ritual in ways so radical as to call the ritual itself into question. Are members of Congress really supposed to sit meekly and quietly while the president uses the rostrum of their chamber to abuse and insult them in the ugliest language?”
Frum suggests that next year Speaker Jeffries invite president trump to send his “speech” to the Speaker and he’ll distribute to the interested parties. Good idea.
