    I definitely didn’t watch it for fear of hearing Trump’s voice, but it seemed like Al Green wouldn’t stop, which was why he was removed. Correct me if in wrong, cause I’m not going to watch it.

      I mean yeah that was the point. He was calling out a dictatorial government for dismantling necessary government programs and institutions that tons of Americans rely on until they removed him from the room. Which is awesome! It’s the kind of shit more Democrats should be doing.

      Him getting removed isn’t the problem, it was the fact that 10 cowards from his own party voted to censure him for it and a bunch of other Dems sat by and did nothing.

        You can blame the ten Dems, but the others definitely took a risk during the censure hearing.

        Lashing out indiscriminately doesn’t help. It’s a lot like “both parties are the same”. Following politics takes work, unless you’re just in it for the TikTok videos and short bursts of outrage.

          Yeah work that almost none of the Democrats are fucking doing!! Politics isn’t just voting sometimes you have to get loud, get obstructive, and make yourself fucking known!

          This attitude is the reason that the US is going to become the fucking handmaid’s tale.

          Wow, the democrats didn’t do enough, Al Green did too much, it’s because he’s a democrat, etc. It’s a wonder why we’re not talking about what he was saying.

          The punishment they’re talking about is the censure. Nothing happened when MTG did it but Al Green was censured with members of his own party voting in favour.
