Oh, I think Mr Bannon did give a shit. Literally probably every day in a very non-private prison cell. Unless he was constipated.

Mr computer… my fact check please:

That’s a fine liberal attitude. You realize, don’t you, that you sound just like the crazy MAGA cultists?

Horseshoes are often real things.

Being an adult means at times you have to do the hard, distasteful thing for the greater good of a longer term goal. And having temper tantrums is not a long term goal. The Dems did exactly the right thing last night.

We don’t shoot our own feet just bc it feels good to pull a trigger.

It shows that one party is the party of grownups & the other is the party of spoiled brat children. That is what I call “good.”

Q: Were the 4 SCOTUS justices’ (3 of whom struck down the tariffs) presence disrespectful of the Constitution?

Bannon did. The J6 conspirators did until they were pardoned.

But tell me how you want total victory & I’ll tell you you live in a fantasy world and, thus, will never be happy about the miracle planet we all are blessed to be born into.

ps: Please don’t use “fucking” with me. I hardly know you.

Were you not yet alive in 2018 or 20? Does history mean this little to you?

It isn’t if the elected officials exact reprisals. What’s important in a democracy is what the voters do.

I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trump’s speech itself.

The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.

The 2018 & 2020 elections were pretty gd-damn good reprisals. Or are you that disdainful of democracy that you horseshoe around to the GOP’s current authoritarian postures?

Seemed like one day and 40 minutes.

This is not a neighborhood bar. This is the shrine of civil democracy. If you can’t tell the difference than you are as bad as the GOP. Let Trump insult. When doesn’t he do that.

The Dems should mount a reprisal at their own time & place of choosing. There is 1 rule: Do not be stupid.

Who here remembers the GOP’s cringe-worthy heckling of Joe Biden’s SOTU’s?

I do. They were *the* most attention grabbing parts—and every one of them made the GOP look like the party of spoiled kids.

Well, Dems are smarter than this. There will be ample time to show toughness. This wasn’t it.

Correct. Democrats should not act like Republicans. I think that's a good rule.

As I was saying

No president has ever complained more about his predecessors. Every single time.

Calm down. Shouting at Trump during a SOTU isn't leadership, it's swallowing the worm on the end of a hook.

25.02.2026 03:41 👍 327 🔁 27 💬 30 📌 3

Exactly. Dems are not taking the bait. And good on them.

Trump displaying his derangement syndrome for the millionth time.

No, they simply are not taking the bait. They are playing this smart.

Change, I guess, really is easy.

And Substack may be the new home of the digital homeless. I’m looking forward to continuing to see you there. Thanks!

It’s not blocked for me just now clicking on the above. Maybe the sheep successfully raised an appeal to the powers that be.

Thanks for pointing that out. Somehow I missed looking at his feet…
