    The "THIS IS HUGE" dramatic reaction in that tweet is a nice connection to your other thread about MAGA basically becoming a vat of slop and conspiracies. I know we saw the start of that back when Trump lost in 2020, but I think the MAGA movement is at an inflection point where their Dear Leader will eventually be no longer in power and there will be a void... who will make up their own reality for the sheep to follow next?

    Side note - I used Kalshi to bet he would say the phrase Save Act, and he indeed said "Save America Act" which didn't count, so I lost the bet. Oh well.

    Oh and lots of female democrats yelling. I'd say what happened to decorum but then that might actually get @george-k to return with a picture of Pelosi tearing up a speech. 🙂

      Clever to ask the assembled congress people to "stand up if you believe the first duty of the US government is to protect US citizens, not illegal aliens". The Dems painted themselves in a corner with their sitting, and there they sat with the cameras on them. Held it there for a couple minutes too.

      Ok, that’s one highlight.

        But I did just watch about 15 minutes of Cocaine Bear. That was enough. How they attracted such a good cast for such an awful movie is beyond me.

          Show some respect. It's "Mr. Secretary" to you. Even his friends just call him 'Bobby'. OK, Kid Rock calls him sweet-cheeks, but that's it.

          I was only joking

            For those who couldn't watch due to what I assume must have been a personal emergency, here is 13 minutes of highlights.

            The most surprising - and frankly, disappointing - thing to come out of the speech was how strongly in favor of murder the Democrats are.

              Watching how the men's hockey team was paraded in front of the country on national TV must have left a mark on at least a few of the women's team. Wishing their culturally imposed "principles" hadn't robbed them of the opportunity of a lifetime that would have been cool for their grandchildren and great grandchildren to watch.

                I think that they should put a buzzer on all the audience and if they appauld, they would get shocked. Let the speech stand on its own.

                  I'm with TG. It's boring theater.

                    The speech was an elaborate trap for the Dems, and it worked very well. Trump fashioned his presentation to make the inevitable childishness of the Dem peanut gallery look as ridiculous and unlikeable as possible. I agree with Shapiro's take here.

                            We all know he's reduced inflation by 4000%. I went into buy groceries today and came away with a check for $500.
