Democrats wont stand for Americans

Wednesday, February 25, 2026

President Trump blasted Democratic politicians who declined to endorse his State of the Union message that the "first duty" of the US government is to protect American citizens over illegal migrants. "One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe," Trump said during his Tuesday night remarks in the House chamber. "So tonight, I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens." Duly cued, Republicans led by Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) rose to their feet while scores of Democrats remained firmly seated.

There was a point there when I wondered if the dems who no-showed were better off.

I watched it on ABC....they showed the same folks not standing up when we were honoring soldiers, families of folks killed, etc.....and it showed the dems stoically sitting there and them Trump shaking his head at them.

BTW no you idiot. The first duty of the US government is to protect the Constitution above all else. That's their first duty.

Those 2 women who were chirping at him during his speech........remember when a congressman once said "you lie" at Obama?

My goodness....that was the news for weeks and weeks afterward.

Those 2 women won't even barely make their hometown newspapers with that much less the national news.

We live in a different time. A time when the American people returned to the White House an insurrectionist, pedo, admitted rapist, 34-time convicted felon.

They were't standing because of Trump, BOAZ.

No one with pride of patriotism would have honored that hypocrite's request.

I know.

He asked them to stand for Citizens instead of illegal aliens.

They couldnt stand. They stand for illegal aliens. Their voting bloc.

It's so clear now. I hope it's clear for voters.

How many women has Trump paid to settle sexual assault cases? 25?

How many times has a Jury convicted him of sexual assault? Once.

How many Fraud Convictions? 34?

How many times did his own DOJ threaten to resign en masse if he kept telling them to rig the 2020 Election for him? Several.

Why should anyone stand up when this convicted criminal and traitor says they should?

Moocher boaz falling for fake patriotism. Probably because all of his "patriotism" is fake.

I'm gonna laugh so hard when you post a thread whining about your VA benefits being stripped.

It's clear that Trump played a dopey political stunt that no one but committed mouth-breathers could fall for.

Trump and Trump's entire speech last night was a waste of oxygen.

Just to sum up the night, Democrats refused to stand for:

A 99-year-old WWII veteran
A service member who saved a girl from deadly floods
A 5-year-old girl who got rammed by a criminal illegal alien truck driver
A little girl receiving life-changing help for a severe disability
Iryna, stabbed to death on a train, and her grieving family
Team USA gold medal champions
Law enforcement and Border Patrol agents
American heroes
Americans over illegals

and no amount of lies or stupid chit like # 8 will change this fact !!

"We live in a different time"

we certainly do.

A time where such an interruption isn't a breach of etiquette any longer.

It certainly was when Obama was interrupted.

Gee....I wonder how this will go next time a Democratic party president delivers a state of the union........
