    The gayest tweet I’ve seen. While Democrats are concentrating on the damage Trump policies are causing, republican males are critiquing what the women are wearing. Insecurity about their manhood is a republican tradition I guess. By the way your boy is folding like a sheet and is going to buckle on tariffs today.

    So what? The Democrats are well aware of the Republican tactic of using victims of tragedies as campaign props, and have more respect for the victims. Where was all this support from republicans after every school, church, or concert shooting? Where was this support for the deaths of police after the January 6th riots? It was nowhere to be seen.

    You can't paint him in the same light if he's actively reducing bureaucracy (i.e. firing bureaucrats) and not making regulations on private citizens. If he were expanding bureaucracy or even holding the status quo, while creating new regs on private citizens, you might have an argument.

    His actual best line was the one about “Biden insisted that he couldn’t enforce the border unless he got new legislation. But it turns out all we really needed was a new President.”

    The reason Dems can't get out of their own way isn't outbursts like Congressman Al Green had last night. Dems have pulled similar stunts for decades on end, it never mattered then.

    The reason Dems can't get out of their own way is their marriage to insane "progressive" policy. Much of which is out of step, out of touch with everyday America. As I have said before, Dems will have to answer for the open borders fiasco for a long time and yet, as you saw last night, they are doubling-down on the fiasco.

    President Trump, to his credit, is doing a great job of fleshing this out in front of the public eye. Essentially, he is using tactics to force Dems to reveal their true colors. Dems still think men should be allowed to compete in women's sports. And Dems still think there was nothing wrong with the open border. As long as Dems double down on policies like these (to name a couple), they're not going to be able to "get out of their own way" no matter how respectful they behave.

    Dems issue isn't their lack of decorum. It's their platform. For example, if we are to take Congressman Green at his word and there are indeed drastic and deep cuts to the Medicaid program in Trump's budget proposal, Dems should spend more time addressing that instead of grandstanding for men competing in women's sports, the open border and Zelenskyy. The first two are inherently anti-American, inhumane. Zelenskyy is obviously a loose cannon, to say the least. Hitching their wagon to policies and international leaders like these is the Dems problem, not their lack of decorum or applause.

    You might want to check yourself and your marriage to insane "MAGA" policy.

    Arguably his best line, because it drove home the point that the Dems were simply lying to Americans, instead of resolving a very real domestic crisis.

    Trump has done nothing to decrease crossings and the numbers show it. Just him making more shit up.

    There’s a reason Grindr crashed during the RNC, just saying. Of course Trump is going to buckle because that’s all he ever does when something threatens to hurt his popularity. Unfortunately once he does it, the right will still spin it as some huge win and that he caused Mexico and Canada to cave somehow. Lol.

    Sounds like Trump has a case of Joe Biden Derangement Syndrome.

    Why would you attempt to justify this? This is a 13-year-old child. Standing and clapping for this kid, is the right thing to do no matter what side you’re on. This is a great story. Amazing that this kid is still alive!
