Also tens of millions of democrats too, are you going to jail us all?

Also being a veteran, I am in total agreement with Rep. Duckworth. It appears that he is obsessed with his personal approval to the point of demanding adoration. He is as ridiculous as the North Koreans who punished people who don't show ridiculous admiration for the dictator. Aside from the personal aspects, I am very concerned that he uses the bully pulpit of the presidency to attack Democrats as not being real Americans. This has been a important aspect of the Republican Party's vicious attack on Democrats they have been pursuing for the last forty years. They classifying anyone who apposes their fascist policies as being immoral anti-Christian bigots. They portray rural God-fearing Americans as real Americans and the liberal educated class as the enemy. They regard ignorance as a God given gift. Its Orwellian, ignorance is enlightenment, Republicans good, Democrats evil.

Ick.

Just about as bad as 'homeland'

"fatherland" and "motherland."

with those of us who know little about him. I wish him luck in his race for Governor!

Not that I see any reason he shouldn't run for governor, of course. Just curious.

I'm considering caucusing for him tonight, still kind of undecided with so many good candidates, but if he's the nominee, I'll happily vote for him. Are you caucusing tonight?

I liked him before (based solely on the stated and implied in that tweet, I'm afraid to say), and if you respect him that much, I'm sure he's a great asset to the D party at large.

Still serving his country! something trump knows nothing about

I agree that we should all do more than opine and mitch-and-boan about the state of the union, but from what I read, Rep. Walz is pretty active in supporting the real values of humans, Coloradans, US - unlike the t.i.c.

I feel like that "treasonous" comment deserved a more forceful response from the Democratic Party as a whole.

I happen to think making a vocal, public, biting remark in opposition to Trump may just kick some complacent and hibernating voters out of their recliners and to the voting booth.

In addition, a defiant stand against Trump with many, many others, doesn't go unnoticed amongst other Dems.

So what Drama do you think will seem honest and not kabuki?

Floor speech calling out Trump for his use of "treason" in that context.

Personally, I think anything said publically against Trump is of use. How many more saw the tweet vs. a speech on the floor?

He represents the people of CD1 in Minnesota.

I'm not sure I know what it would be - but I feel like this is pretty big having the POTUS call the Democrats treasonous for not clapping for him.

unbelievable.

Even if it was something unrealistic, it would at least be a suggestion.

every time they speak about him they should call him a pathological liar. It's a damn shame that any Democrat even attended the SOTU address.

Making a floor statement calling out Trump for using the term "treasonous" in the context he did.

Three cheers for Tammy Duckworth - love her!

Maybe he perceives his own base as not being vociferous and violent enough in their expressions of support for him, and so becomes more and more inflammatory in hopes of egging them on. Certainly many Democrats are afraid that his inciting will lead to violence. If that is his goal, he might well be unhappy that things remain essentially stable.

They probably know how to be violent. And I'm guessing they have more than the normal % of firearms, RPGs, semi-automatics, etc. than the rest of the world.

Thugocracy.

when he gets to prison, correctional officers will address him as Mr, as they often address inmates as mister when directly interacting with them. But trust me when I say it is not meant as an honorific.

Keep calling these cowardly conservatives on the carpet.

Hmmm ... I've discovered a DU malfunction. I type the French word T O U C H E ... and preview it to see that it said the French word, but when it posts it reads Touch. Tried to edit/correct several times -- I give up.

Hyperactive autocorrect is probably changing "touche" to "touch." Even when you correct an unwanted autocorrect change, it can go back to autocorrect's version as you hit post.

I get around that by fixing the word to what I want, then going to the middle of the word so my tablet word suggestion list shows the word as I want it. Then I click the word as it shows on my table's suggestion list, then accept it when it is suggested that I add it to my dictionary. And then I hit post.

Notice that "touche" appears in my subject line (and in this sentence), but without the accent mark over the "e." DU's program doesn't allow accents in subject lines or posts.

appreciate the tip.

but I Thank him for his Service and for speaking out against the fucking traitor.

Excellent Tweet.. thank you, Tanuki

"mr" doesn't cut it.

That's a perfect example of the Russian dumbshit mole. Thanks!

the Dems do. Letting people know one is available to talk on the main stream media again and again and again as the repugs do might be a start.

According to Miriam-Webster - "The crime of creating a revolt, disturbance, or violence against lawful civil authority with the intent to cause its overthrow or destruction".

Democrat's in Congress should be pursuing this with a vengeance (no pun intended).

. . . three tours in Vietnam while Cadet Bone Spurs was dodging the draft.

This morning I had words with a Republican who is now a former friend -- he started in with this treasonous bullshit. I asked him about his military service -- he had multiple student deferments. It went downhill from there.

I was watching Trump State TV (Faux News), and they say President Fat Nixon Dotard Bone Spurs was just joking, and we're just a bunch of snowflakes.

Trump's planning to jail Democrats before the election.

There is no trick they won't try to remain in power.

than again he said McCain isn't a hero cause he got caught.

FOX, Hannity would be calling for their head.

Putin got his money's worth investing in Trump.

country would have to stop until said democratic prez was hunted down and ended, repuke does it and it barely registers.

"I didn't serve 24 years in the uniform of this country to be called treasonous for simply disagreeing with your disastrous policies, Private Bone Spurs."

Hooah!
