I can safely say from what I've been seeing from some of the Democrats, that "trashy" is not a label exclusively for the some of the Republicans.

THIS sort of bullshit only serves to divide our country, with the clowns from BOTH parties, further.
Which Democrats have interrupted a State of the Union address? Because that’s what this is about.
How about Nancy Pelosi ripping up Trumps speech during the middle of it?


This trashiness has been going on for a while…
I thought she did it at the end. Like someone else said it was inappropriate. But heckling? Not to mention MTG has no right to call anyone a liar after she went on about Jewish lasers. And other conspiracy theories. Idk how she keeps getting re-elected. American politics have always been trashy since God knows when but maybe we should draw the line somewhere.

I’m not saying what Green did was ok… it was trashy as hell.

She keeps getting elected because her district constituents believe the bs she's spewing.

And what TF is up with her sticking out her tongue? Ridiculous teens and 20 somethings do that. Smh.

Didn’t Nancy Pelosi rip up Trump’s speech or something a few years ago?

Seems like she got backlash for something she did but I can’t remember.
Yes, once the speech was over she sat and quietly ripped up her copy of the speech. It was bad manners. Most people thought it was rude and uncalled for. But nothing tops Marjorie in her all white outfit standing up and sounding like a fishwife after a few drinks.

And this was definitely not a southern thing. These clowns were from all over the country.
MTG embarrassing the south was my comment, I know you’re talking about Republicans.

It doesn’t matter if Nancy was more passive aggressive about it. She still did something disruptive to protest a sitting President. I can admit that I laughed because I can not stand Trump’s guts and I find Nancy to be the queen of slick shade. But I’m not gonna act like she wasn’t being petty and Republicans are only guilty of that behavior because that’s not true.

I’m not saying you can’t think what MTG did was worse…I do too but the goal here shouldn’t be the lesser of 2 evils IMHO.

A perception deliberately fostered by people attributing fake quotes:

If you actually listen to a full speech by her, she is clearly far from being a moron.

Nancy was super petty but the casual look on her face while she was neatly tearing them up was funny.

It’s okay to write “moronic Democrats have taken over the party.” I honestly don’t care. If this damned state wasn’t closed primary I’d be independent. I hate both parties equally and the two party system with it.
My problem is some Democrats criticize AOC or Biden himself. Not enough Republicans criticize Trump or MTG. And when people do like Liz Cheney they’re shut down. You are judged by the company you keep after all. By not speaking out against her they are seen as trashy. Now if a Republican has I’ll take my statement back. But I feel they’re toeing the party line far too hard.
You may not care but a lot of people would and because that is just how badly this country has become divided.

It's literally become "our side is better than your side" in the U.S.

It's "prove to me I'm wrong and you're right."

I registered as an Independent over a year ago and because both major parties are an embarrassing joke to me. I could not attach my voting or sentiments to either the Republicans or the Democrats due to the antics of many of their members that no one in either party speaks out against.

For me, with few exceptions, BOTH parties have "trashy" Congressional leaders.
You’ve got a point about division. She could have rephrased it but my comment still stands. Republicans aren’t speaking out against MTG or Trump. And it bothers me because once I saw them as respectable. I thought of joining the GOP so I could have a say for who runs against Biden. And the thought makes me ill. Anyway I didn’t see her comment as all republicans are trashy but too many are. Just like not all Democrats are.
That’s exactly what I meant. And there are more and more of them every year. The Republicans were a respectable party not too long ago but Trump brought in the clowns.

And saying what about Nancy three years ago is making excuses and deflecting on what’s happening now. What’s happening right now is George Santos is making speeches in front of congress. A man who lied and cheated his way to office. Until he explains who gave him $700,000 right before the election he needs to be sidelined.

A single incident three years ago is a huge stretch. No it hasn’t been going on for awhile. There were occasional outbursts, they’re only human. Only since Trump has this kind of behavior been normalized. Lies have been deemed ok. Ugly name calling is common after Trump.

No it didn’t. That was one word by one politician yelled out calling Obama a liar. And he was censored for doing it. There are no longer any standards on how to act properly at the State of the Union. They have become emboldened to sit in the “audience” acting like they’re at a NASCAR race or something.
