(54,384 posts)But all I got from CNN was ads. However, I did find a clip of the open part, before they sent the cameras away. About 15 minutes or so?
I'd say Trump was pathetic, but he went on beyond pathetic after about 2 minutes.
I already described my impression: two adults, a kid in his terrible twos and a ventriloquist's dummy.

(67,782 posts)....irrationally and is freaking INSANE! We're seeing it real time with two intelligent, rational leaders and a little baby. And there's Pence soaking it all in with his best "concern" face.
AND, Sarah Huckleberry Sanders is standing off to the side looking angry ("I'm late for lunch!" )

(12,165 posts)She is fantastic. I do think she could use plainer language, like calling Trump out as the liar he is, instead of being so diplomatic and talking about him not being factual.
But she is no shrinking violet, that is for sure. Even as Trump rudely and disrespectfully talked over her, she came through loud and clear.
onetexan
(13,041 posts)since couldn't comprehend half of what she said.
Plus if she straight out called the DOTUS a liar she'd be lambasted by the media as not being in control of her emotions. You know how they are - so quick to judge an assertive woman.
Politicub
(12,165 posts)She had Trump sounding like an idiot.
The House is in great, steady hands with Nancy at the helm.
I would like to see the women in both houses sweep him out of the WH. POS he is.

(15,238 posts)He wants to hurt someone does not matter who it is and at these points in his world view it can include the white haired lump setting next to him who offered no defense other than a scowl.

(8,699 posts)Sometimes Democrats in Congress tend fall back into a Charlie Brown mentality maybe this time they wont pull the ball away and compromise and get screwed. Rinse. Repeat.
I hope this is a new perspective for Democrats and that we start sticking to our principles and have some backbone with these assholes.

(10,828 posts)Pelosi and Schumer took no prisoners today. They represented the Democratic position well and did it in a strong, unflinching manner. Loved Pelosi telling Trumpski to take the House vote is he's so certain the votes are there. And Schumer did not budge.
Good on both of them!

(5,810 posts)a tennis match. Not saying a crying word. Just watching with his best blank face.
tRump was getting madder and more agitated. Face red. Baby Donald was not happy and he interrupted Pelosi and Schumer over and over, looking like the spoiled brat who is quit accustomed to shouting down anyone who dares dispute him. And he got a LOT of pushback from them. He better pay attention because the tide has shifted and he will get this treatment every.single.time he tries to pull a stunt like this one again.
Oh, and they were able to get him rattled enough to say out loud for the record that if he doesnt get his wall he WILL shut the government down. So he gets to own this one.
