    No need to open this thread in "Current Events" because I don't even know that this happened.

    I have seen a couple of sketchy stories this morning indicating that some Democrats had actually gotten up and walked out on Trump's State of the Union speech last night, but so far I cannot find a complete list. Does anyone have a list of them?

    I'm particularly interested in whether Sen. Cory Booker, Democrat, New Jersey, walked out on the speech. During one very short camera view toward the end of the speech, I could have sworn I saw Booker rise from his seat in the Democrat section and storm up toward one of the entrances in order to exit the chamber. I don't know if that was supposed to make a big 'scene' (which it evidently did not), or if he just looked so distressed because he needed to go pee. Parenthetically, I wonder if that's why Pelosi looked so miserable.... Well, if so, evidently she had more bladder control than the illustrious Senator Booker....

    Here's the list:

    ...


    You're welcome.

    But you still BELIEVED, because for some reason, you wanted it to be true.

    And speaking of bladder control issues, we observe your fine Pelosi Derangement Syndrome. The Booker Derangement Syndrome, that's new. Did you come up with it yourself, or has the cult said he's the new propaganda target?

    You have no idea (NONE) what I did or did not 'want'. I asked a simple question. If you didn't have an intelligent answer, all you needed to do was keep your mouth shut. Instead, you decide to play 'Mister Clairvoyant'... I hope you're considerably better at whatever it is that you do to earn a living....

    Hey, it's an old habit. I watch "all enemies" of the United States, "foreign and domestic"....

    So please tell me - what part of the Constitution prohibits American Citizens from walking out on a Presidential speech? Why would that make them an "enemy"? Why not just "cranky"?

    Have Republicans all stopped kicking puppies? It's just a simple question. Totally innocent, just like your question.

    Interesting. My sacred oath wasn't to "watch". It was to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

    Point well taken. Some enemies of the U. S. are cranky. And I watch this variety just as closely as all the others.... To paraphrase what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said long ago, "Judge a man by the content of his character...."

    A political faction that smolders in glaring, hostile silence at the idea of ending an unconstitutional "healthcare" mandate, protecting the borders of the United States, getting illegal aliens OUT of our country, helping the economy with a much-needed tax cut, and cutting the red tape to make this nation totally energy-depended (among many other things), has no character worthy of a loyal citizen of this country....

    Not quite.... :roll:

    I asked if anyone had a list of those individual Democrats who walked out on the State of the Union Address. Not quite the same as 'kicking puppies', you see.

    Few would view 'kicking puppies' as being grounds for any kind of Badge of Honor, whereas it is actually quite likely that a number of liberal Democrats would find it very commendable and honorable to disrespect and heap scorn on the President of the United States at every opportunity. :banana:

    Try something a little less sophomoric....

    Gutierrez walked out. Afterwards he tried to excuse it claiming "another appointment". He had the guts to walk out but not the guts to take the heat for his action.

    America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the "land of the free".

    From - The American President.

    Oh Bull s**t. You can be against a tax cut because it will add to the deficit that is rotting our foundations, and not be a traitor. You can acknowledge that health care issues have been at the top of American's worries for the last 50 years and support covering pre-existing conditions without being a traitor. You can worry about the environment of the country and second-guess dropping regulations against pollution without being a traitor.

    For f**k's sake - drop the partisan crap and realize that it's as American as apple pie to question the actions of a President. Always has been (look up the Whisky Rebellion).
    Gods - this pure bull crap about not being a "real" American is the most pathetic trash I have ever read. Real Americans question their leaders and disagree with them. You start having a Soviet style "list" of approved behavior - that's when you'll know we are in trouble.

    Being that you view free speech as treason, you'd be one of the domestic enemies of the Constitution that all past and present members of the US Military are oath-bound to oppose, along with members of other federal agencies that take such an oath.

    You are f**king dead ass wrong. But you don't make up assumptions without facts. You don't get "facts" from radio talking heads and 24 hr entertainment TV.

    You are wrong. I view the content of their free speech as treason not the act of free speech. I prefer enemies and traitors of the U.S. to exercise free speech, it makes it easier to know exactly who and where they are. Do you understand, or do you need further education on the issue?

    Got it. You're saying that anyone who disagrees with TheParty is a traitor.

    So, you're still a domestic enemy of the United States Constitution.

    You sure North Korea wouldn't be more to your liking? The only adjustment you'd have to make is to say "DearLeaderKim" instead of "DearLeaderTrump". It would be a win-win for everyone if you emigrated. You'd be happier, and we'd be happier.

    Waiting for the actual investigations to finish. I know that's foreign to the fast-food junkie Trump FanBoys, but that's the way it is.

    Well - that's based on personal experience with the guy pre-WH. I have not said he is guilty of collusion. Just really bad personal karma.
