Sure Bet
When President Trump speaks to a joint session of Congress this coming Tuesday, someone will shout "You lie," some member(s) will walk out, and/or there will be other Democrat histrionics.
I'm thinking loud breaking wind, making circles with one's finger near the temple, mooning, throwing tomatoes/rotten food, and immolating oneself in the aisle.
Sounds vaguely like the playbook from the GOP during Obama's you can keep your doctor speech. I think there will be a lot of shouting, cursing, eye-rolling and smirking from the people watching on TV.
I recorded it and have yet to watch it. Did you feel a tingle up your leg? Was there anything more than sitting on hands to express discontent? I hear that Donald got Bernie to applaud....
No tingle ... although the tribute to the Navy Seal was moving. Some hissing, booing and thumbs downers. And many in Dem leadership didn't stand and applaud for Navy Seal's wife or when Trump pledged to eridicate radical Islamic terrorism and ISIS. What were they thinking?
I'll sign on for the first two but "other histrionics" is too vague. Does rolling eyes upward count? Thumbs down? A grimace? A smirk?
