"This is Not Normal" sign at State of Union..what did it mean?

Debates


(NEXSTAR) – As President Donald Trump entered the room Tuesday night, preparing to address both houses of Congress, he shook hands with Republicans lined up to see him. Just over the president’s shoulder you may have spotted a small, handwritten sign. It read, “This is NOT Normal,” in black ink.
The sign was held up by Rep. Melanie Stansbury, a Democrat representing New Mexico’s 1st District in the House of Representatives, which covers the Albuquerque area.


This could be interesting? One wonders what this person thinks would be normal, ....what would be another approach of the president that she would be considered normal.?

Well I think if you remember what state of the union speeches have looked like over the past 30 years, usually the president is asking congress to do things to make America better. This is the whole point of the speech.

This wasn't normal because he didn't do that at all. It was a campaign speech, just blaming Democrats for bad stuff. He could have delivered this speech anywhere, Congress didnt need to be there at all.

In all this, it is a given that he will need the support of congress to get some of his programs passed. You are saying he needs to 'say' that? We are not kindegaren man.

I guess he doesn't need to ask, but that the whole point of him going to Congress, right? Is this your first time watching one of these?

No, he goes to tell them his view of, well, the State of the Union. Not to ask them for aid. And one post above says 'the way it has been done for 30 years'. YOu mean like all the begging dependent presidents have been???
But you are not being fair, to ask Trump to be like them. Plus if he is like them, we would not even have DOGE. He would take naps, specifically like the last one of them.

You used the word 'aid' not me.

Congress has power that presidents do not. They shouldnt help him do anything.

I guess you figure it is the new normal for a POTUS state of the Union message where he spouted off a dozen lies, that was the count fact checkers came up with, like saying we paid 350 BILLION in military aid to Ukraine when it was in fact one THIRD of that, less than 120 billion.
And 11 other absolute lies
And OF COURSE you lapped up every word from your Lord Trump

Every day is a new day, SHouse. You can learn from the speed at which Trump moves, to keep up. Now you see how sick of Jan 6 we were. But NOW you haggle over many different amounts are being shown for USA money to Ukiraine.
Do you think for one second that I care at all about that dollar amount. Are you gonna keep writing about the dollar amount to Ukraine? Are you about to start boring the hell out of us one more time. Would you pick some of the topic, any topic, I will write with you about it. .

PS: Why do you and yours wear masks?? Where do you buy masks? Same place you buy your posters on a stick demanding everything be changed from the way the President is governing? How bout those queer little paddles on a stick that say things like "I Am Not Happy". What does holding that sign get you?
Where do y'all get your equipment?

How about writing about the gay Gavin Newsome, he will not button the top button of his shirt. He is gay. And he just CHANGED his position on Men in Girl's sports, like Kamala changed views on 14 subjects. What a bunch of flakes, people who cannot get their feet on the ground..................wanting to be our PRESIDENT!!!!???

Wow, you wrote what THREE whole paragraphs and not saying a fuuking WORD about the lies Trump puked out, so not even addressing the issue one way or the other says clearly you are ok with the new normal where a POTUS can now lie whenever he wants and attack individual people by name so his henchmen can make threats against them. Don't tell me he doesn't do that, his in FACT the first POTUS to attack INDIVIDUALS BY NAME.
Like the Freeman family and his henchman Rudy goes after them relentlessly for 100% falsely accusing them of voter fraud. which now costs Rudy 150 million in fines but NOTHING touched Trump.
Trump hires contractors, and when comes time to pay the bills, FUUK you, I'll give you half what you contracted for.
THAT happens all the time with Trump
and yet you ignore ALL the criminality and grift of Trump and continue to support him to your dying day.

Uhhhhh, have you replaced January 6 with Rudy Giuliani. Help me, Rhonda.

Let’s say I don’t ignore that which is really bad crime. I assume it is real bad crime that we should get after Trump about. So I will jump on the bandwagon with you to go after Trump for really heinous crimes that he has committed. Not one that has to do with a girlfriend or that has to do with entries that turned out to be illegal in a journal. That’s not crime to me. I’m speaking of an individual here, who has had his ass kicked by you people for eight years. I don’t care what he’s done , he hasn’t hurt anybody and now he will finally save our country. Thank you, Donald.
As you might imagine, my favorite line of his speech was when he said y’all had been after him for so long… And he said how did that work out for you? Hey Sunhouse. Can you defend the way the Democrats never uttered one sound or made one applause for the good stuff like those beautiful people who were murdered by Biden immigrants,, such as that? Are those yourpeople Sonhouse. I certainly hope not.

Well you finally admit it. You don't care WHAT your Lord Trump does or says, since he is my SAVIOR.
You don't care the entire WORLD heard those lies and conclude Trump is someone NOBODY can trust, one day tariffs, the next day because the dow goes down 1300 points for him doing the tariff, then OOPS, I didn't mean that, off with those tariffs, well for 30 days.
He waffles around like that with just about everything.
The latest being even the supreme court is fed up with his destruction of US agencies, said you HAVE to give back that two BILLION you ripped from USAID.

Europe has learned the hard way you can never trust Trump and our 80 year long alliance is over, now we are supposed to be buddy buddy with Russia.
Trump is as we speak talking about ending sanctions on Russa and will no doubt get his Moscow Trump tower he has drooled over getting for ten years now.
He is all transactional, give me money and we are friends, will do what you want.

Europe was becoming a mite expensive. Anyway, where you are concerned, no matter what Trump does with or without your approval you will never be happy. If Trump cured cancer, you would not like Trump. So you see how ineffectiveit makes your posts
