Ten Democrats joined with House Republicans on Thursday to censure Rep. Al Green for his protest during President Donald Trump's address to Congress this week -- a formal condemnation of the Texas Democrat's actions.

I'm old enough to remember when Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Green were not kicked out during the State of the Union, but Al Green was last night. The double standard! #TrumpAddress #ImpeachTrumpNOW

Good, the grifter needs to STFU and have that stupid gold handled cane, that he doesn't need btw, taken away. You look him up and he's worth over 10 million after an annual salary of 175k. Shocker.

"and have that stupid gold handled cane, that he doesn't need btw, taken away."

So now you are into stealing a persons private property? Or are you just jealous?

You never know when he may need that cane to beat the crap out of a Republican someday soon. It's happened before and it could very well happen again. And probably should.

A blast from the past:

The caning of Charles Sumner, or the Brooks"Sumner Affair, occurred on May 22, 1856, in the United States Senate chamber, when Representative Preston Brooks, a pro-slavery Democrat from South Carolina, used a walking cane to attack Senator Charles Sumner, an abolitionist Republican from Massachusetts.

Let's all laugh at lfthndturds for being stupid enough to claim democrats have become the "extreme left" of America.

Why? Because we respect Sam wanting to be called Samantha?

What's even funnier is, I bet you support calling "the Gulf of Mexico", "the Gulf of America".

Yet suffer at the thought of giving such courtesy to your fellow human being who has asked to you address them by a specific name or pronoun.

You're a living contradiction. Hypocrisy incarnate.

Who knows? Perhaps respecting your fellow American is now considered to be an extreme left perspective.

It's clear, Trumpers hate everyone different than themselves.

Let's all laugh at how retarded Clownshack is. Ten of your party brethren sided with Republicans... Why?? Because they didn't want to be grouped in with the raetards. They actually care more about their career than throwing a ------ hissy fit for the world to see.

Your answer to the mental illness is actually more mentally illness on display. Republicans thank you for your support.

Lfthndturds seems to believe posting angry hateful comments proves something.

For me, it's just a reminder of who deplorable Trumping MAGAts are, angry losers who are desperate for a win, even if that ends up destroying America.

These are not piddling questions.

I know exactly what I am seeing when I look at Trump.

And he does exactly what he needs to prove what I see.

There's some sort of higher order of sickness going on with you people that you won't comprehend reality.

"Republicans thank you for your support"

If the election were held after the crap of the last two months, Trump would lose.

If it were held after the crap of the coming six months, Trump would lose and be dodging pitchforks.

Comprehending things is not their approach to life.

The rest can be attributed to hubris.

You always go away just when you are getting interesting, and just when pressing an issue with you might yield something significant.

Hundreds of millions don't get you because you behave irrationally; because you cheer irrationality on.

Because of that, you are making hundreds or millions your enemy.

If things get as bad as we fear, we aren't going to forget you.

He can't stand the heat, so he gets out of the kitchen. They almost all behave that way.

They can't have complete conversations because within two sentences they have said all they have to say. By sentence three, they've moved on to Hunter Biden's Laptop or Zelensky dissing America by not wearing a suit. Those refrains are their Safe Spaces, almost like prayers for them.

I'd wager most of them peaked in high school.

Trump was the one hiding in a bunker.

He's also sucking the government teat harder than I ever could.

I guess that's why you like him and you don't like me.

Trump is a bigger mooch on the government than a thousand Snoofys could ever be.

... An alleged one-night sexual encounter took place in 2006 between businessman and later U.S. president Donald Trump and pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels, followed by a conspiracy on the part of Trump to cover up the story in the month prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and Trump's falsification of business records as part of the conspiracy.[1] The story broke in 2018, when The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen paid US$130,000 to Daniels as hush money to buy her silence during the 2016 Trump campaign.[1] ...

The court case regarding this incident and its aftermath, Prosecution of Donald Trump in New York, was decided on May 30, 2024, against Trump.[227] ...

Early in my career I represented a lender and did many foreclosures and FED"s per month. FED's are done in JP court. Al Green was a JP court judge. I appeared before him many times. He ran his court as if he was a preacher at the pulpit. He made simple legal matters a pain in the a**. His is a minority majority district and he will be re-elected until he dies or quits. I'm not a fan. F**k 'em.

Here in Connecticut, I was once a Justice of the Peace. But, no JP Courts here (that I know of).

I do not like those who disrupt Presidential speeches to Congress.

His being escorted out of the Chamber was an appropriate response, imo.

Hey dumbass, what do you think JP means? It means Justice of the Peace, the lowest level court in the US. Dumbass. And congratulations on your service. It requires absolutely no legal training, at least in Texas. A requirement you meet.

Yep, and yep. I willingly admit, I have no legal training. Have I ever said differently?

"Yet suffer at the thought of giving such courtesy to your fellow human being who has asked to you address them by a specific name or pronoun."

You answered your own question and one in which liberals like you just can't seem to accept. It's not debatable so not accepting it means you are doing it on purpose. YES, it IS very extreme to be forced to address someone by different pronouns. Language has existed for thousands of years, and most languages have rule regarding pronoun use so that they identify gender of someone. THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Yet, you come along as a liberal and say pronouns should all of a sudden be used differently now.

If you can't understand how that is extreme, you are willfully trying to just be a rebel. No functional human being could not understand that. Now, before you get all babyish like a typical liberal, that doesn't mean it's wrong at all. Times change. Things change. That's the nature of the universe. Maybe one day we will get to the point that somehow magically everyone can just know everyone else's pronouns so they don't get used by mistake. Nothing wrong with that at all. BUT, the truth is still there...you are trying to change something that has been done a certain way for thousands of years. That is almost the very definition of extreme in this context. Just accept it. Own it. Stop whining like a baby that you are being called a spade when you are a spade. Liberals have multiple extreme values today. Nothing wrong with that and I would even venture to say that because whiny liberals aren't willing to accept themselves and who they are, it makes it a lot tougher to get people to join their cause.

"YES, it IS very extreme to be forced to address someone by different pronouns"

If you met a guy name William, and you called him Bill, and he asked you to please call him William, you'd do that. Just out of basic respect for his humanity. It wouldn't bother you, and you wouldn't think twice.

In this case, however, your response is, "Sure, Bill! Whatever you want, Bill. Any time, Billlllll."

And you think you're cool doing it.

How did society manage to do it for centuries?

When someone complains about pronouns, first thing I think of is, this person has never met a transgender or non binary person.

It's not at all difficult to call someone by the name or pronoun of their choice. They're not looking for you to get it right every time.

Most transgender and nonbinary people aren't militant about their pronouns. As long as you're making an effort to respect them, they're going to respect you.

There are at least 10 +- Democrats who haven't figured out that the republicons are all in on destroying the American Democracy. Shumer and Jeffries are still living in that la-la land of "My estemed colleagues from across the aisle".
