So I did not know this till tonight...but Dem. Rep Tlaib is going to give a rebuttal to Biden's SOTU address????

Have they lost their ever loving fugging minds?? I have a better idea for the far left of the party. Keep walking left to that cliff edge and throw yourselves off.

Forget whining about Manchin and Sinema and weather they should get in line with Biden or not. Don't even EVER try to make that argument again.

I have never heard anything so absurd and I have heard EVERYTHING!

Seems she is not the only D to issue a rebuttal to middle of the road Joe. The Ds ****ed it up again. They had a chance to fight against the Cult of 45, but it appears that minor cult leaders from the left aren't happy that Joe hasn't turned the USA into some imaginary left-wing utopia. Thanks dumb asses, 2022 will be a right wing swing because of you.

The Republicans are going to win big, regardless. Not passing the voting rights legislation has virtually guaranteed that.

Since they can't get Manchin and Sinema to support the voting rights legislation, that's going to happen anyway.

It's over for this country when the Republicans take over in Nov. It doesn't matter what the Democrats do from here on out.

You are out of your mind if you are going to rebut the SOTU address of the President and leader of your own party...completely cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Beyond STUPID. The GOP will be holding rebuttal parties if they can stop laughing long enough.

Dems are going to deserve to get pounded out in the mid-terms. I won't want to hear their whiny crap either. They will have earned it.

So your response is throw in the towel? SNOWFLAKES

Honestly I have never seen so much SNOWFLAKE horse crap from the Left as I have seen in the last few days here. Usually its the Right that turns into Jello when things are not going well for Derr Leader Donnie.

Not only do we have "oh boohoo the mid-terms" from the Left but we have posters that are simply willing to let Putin bluff them with his nukes horse crap.

Putin is losing it. But he has a dream of reconstructing the Soviet Union. That goes out the window if nukes fly because of Mutually Assured Destruction. No American President is going to fail to respond to a nuclear strike regardless of the fact the two countries combined will end up blowing up the whole planet. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN and Putin knows it.

This is where you are dead wrong. You are normalizing the Republicans' fascist, dangerous behavior by making these types of absurd comments.

The Democrats don't "deserve to lose".....not when the fascist Republican Party are the ones responsible for the Jan 6 insurrection and for blocking the BBB bill and voting rights legislation.

That’s why Democrats have been losing ground since 1990. The insane stupidity of voting 3rd party in 2000 and 2016 gave you this scotus, Bush-41, and trump.

Maybe she’ll go completely off the deep end and support ‘defunding the police’. Left and left of center parties fought in the 1930s and Hitler won. I didn’t take you to be this stupid.

If you won't fight, you don't deserve to win. Its that simply. Politics, the business of getting elected has nothing to do with who is right and who is wrong or who has the high ground.

You don't even want to show up on the field when the whistle blows. Sorry....gotta play to win.

Just when trump gave us an issue, the beyond worthless squad gave it right back. ****in ****s will be in the house minority the rest of their worthless political careers.

I don't agree with her doing it, but I also don't think it matters much at this point.

Biden should be talking about the treasonous Republican Party the same way that he talks about Putin. Maybe then Democratic and Independent voters will finally understand what is on the line and vote in record numbers this November.

I’ve watched these leftist regressive morons **** up my party since 1968 Nixon traitor when I was 14. Like the Chicago convention.

My $$ going to the DNC tomorrow are loaded with angry moderate Democratic comments. No response, no more $$.

It’s easy for these regressive leftard assholes to stab their own in the back, especially in primaries.

Screw them all to hell.

I mean... I'd have preferred others but he did win the primary somehow. And the election. I guess one can be angry at the primary voters.

But not at me, because I voted for someone else in the primary.

Nope, that's just wrong. Your game analogy is inappropriate because the game has already been rigged by one team (i.e. the Republicans) who doesn't believe in democracy.

Instead of calling out the Republican cheaters, you're excusing their racism, their fascism, and their violent insurrection because you're mad at the Democrats for being wussies.

No matter how much the Democrats suck at politics, they don't deserve to lose to the Republican Nazi Party.

And what does the bolded above have to do with a DEM giving a rebuttal to a DEM President's SOTU address. NOTHING THATS WHAT.

I REPEAT...so you want to throw in the towel because its all soooooo unfair. SNOWFLAKE

Don't like it? Show up for statewide and local elections for a change. In my lifetime the DEM party has shown up for them all of twice and I am old as dirt.

I know what else you are going to deserve besides getting pounded in the mid-terms.....Black Americans are going to finally lose their patience with the Dem Party. I don't know where they are going to go....likely to the sidelines which will be just as damaging as if they went to the GOP.

Don't change the subject of our discussion -- you said the Democrats "deserve to lose".

My point to you is that the Democrats don't deserve to lose, not when the opposition is the evil fascist Republican Nazi Party, who would happily kill or imprison every Democrat in this country if they could get away with it.

Honestly, that's what continues to get votes for the GOP from the middle.

Seriously? A Dem is going to give a rebuttal to a Dem SOTU address? Are you sure? That sounds very odd.

It might not be as bad as you all think. Tlaib might be bluffing to get maximum attention to her speech, and then deliver a strong speech in support of Biden. With perhaps some mild exhortation of Manchin.

Think of the awkward position of Republicans who all attend and hold "rebuttal parties". They'll be trolled and then some.

You're the one who seems to be snowflaking out because the Progressive wing dares to respond to the President's state of the union. 😄

A rebuttal to the SOTU by a member of the same Party is if anything more politically comatose than "defund the Police".

Tell me, Ms Tlaib, how do you know what the President is going to say in his address? How are you constructing your "rebuttal"? How do you know what he is going to say in the address would suggest a "rebuttal" from within his own Party?

ASININE....completely ASININE.

Sorry, that is not going to work either. If Tlab wants to comment on the address, pick a day later and comment. She is a Rep for God sake. Its not like she won't get coverage. It is a horrible, STUPID idea and no amount of rationalizing or quizzing oneself about the intent or trying to fabricate some political fantasy that gives Tlaib a way out will make it any better.
