Republicans refuse to even attend? So much for “bipartisanship.”

And people wonder why nothing can get done. Party leadership should be making the event mandatory, excluding illness.

Now, here’s the question - did the Dems all show up to all of T****'s speeches?

OT: Speaking of T****, won’t this fry his onions?

And here is one reason why…Well worth the watch
You’d think a lawyer would know not to ask a question to which he didn’t know the answer. Not Sen. Kennedy of Louisiana. Stacey Abrams blew him away.

Don’t invite them then.

My Operations Management professor in business school told our class that ‘Things tend to improve slowly, but they can get bad really fast’. The deterioration of the GOP is moving at breathtaking speed.

Good. That means less chance of harm coming to Biden/Harris from a bunch of violence-endorsing, traitorous insurrectionists.

Democratic staffers? Who will actually applaud and cheer, instead of yelling “U LIE”, playing candy crush on their phones, and talking loudly among themselves, like the Republican MCs would have?

Matt Gaetz won’t go because the vast majority of women attending will be over 13.

He’ll compensate by staying home with “adopted son” Nestor and playing “find the cookies” all night.

Real classy you rotters. Tell us AGAIN about ‘loving your country’ and ‘bipartisanship’…

Bottom line here is that they’re perpetuating the lie with this that Biden was not legitimately elected as POTUS.

So here’s what we do:

We get everyone we know to watch the speech somewhere on mass media. We kick up the ratings to the best ever ratings since broadcasts of speeches took place. We rub their noses in the fact that Biden IS POTUS and nothing they can do or say changes the fact. Most RWNJs don’t watch any speeches anyway - they only go to rallies.

Let’s get the date and time of the speech out there among all the regular folks that aren’t contaminated with the Big Lie and make Joe a bigger success than ever.

Thanks for the Gaetz reference, they are almost unbearably scarce. I needed it.

They want an invitation just so they can publicly turn it down, like in middle school.

They’d have more substance, honor, and intelligence than those they’d be replacing.

Oh, they realized that it’s hard to scream “Liar” at a President when he’s an old, white man and not a black man. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/you-lie-moment-interrupting-a-presidential-speech-reflects-the-slide-to-disunity/2019/02/04/5732cdca-28bb-11e9-984d-9b8fba003e81_story.html
