  1. That was priceless!!! LOL!!!😂😆 Good for her. Trump's speech was garbage anyway, and it wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. Nancy should have crumbled it up into a ball,  and shot it into a waste basket and shouted KOBE!!! 😄

  2. This had the feel of speeches given by one the world's most despotic dictators in history. Trump criticized Dems who did not applaud during his first State of the Union address. “They were like death and un-American,” he said. “Un-American. Somebody said treasonous. I mean, yeah, I guess, why not? Can we call that treason? Why not?” Trump is very reminiscent of Stalin in this way. You can see it in him during this SOTU address. He literally pauses for the applause, and he even applauds himself. During Stalin's reign of terror, he demanded a long and enthusiastic applause, and standing ovations whenever he gave a speech. As a result, the applause and ovations he received  became largely panic-driven. People feared that the first person to stop clapping would be the first to be called an enemy of the state, and be hauled off to a gulag. The clapping and ovations would last up to 10 minutes. Failure to applaud could certainly be considered treason. So the sheeple went on and on, clapping and shouting “Long live Comrade Stalin,” “Glory to our beloved Comrade Stalin,"  clapping to the point of exhaustion, and until the palms of their hands bled. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described what the surreal scene looked like in his book, The Gulag Archipelago: “The applause went on—six, seven, eight minutes! They were done for! Their goose was cooked! They couldn’t stop now till they collapsed with heart attacks! At the rear of the hall, which was crowded, they could of course cheat a bit, clap less frequently, less vigorously, not so eagerly…Nine minutes! Ten!…Insanity! To the last man! With make-believe enthusiasm on their faces, looking at each other with faint hope, the district leaders were just going to go on and on applauding till they fell where they stood, till they were carried out of the hall on stretchers.” At last, after eleven minutes of non-stop clapping, the director of a paper factory finally decided enough was enough. He stopped clapping and sat down—a miracle! “To a man, everyone else stopped dead and sat down,” Solzhenitsyn says. That same night, the director of the paper factory was arrested and sent to prison for ten years. Authorities came up with some official reason for his sentence, but during his interrogation, he was told: “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!”
