That was beyond infuriating and so hard to keep watching. I’m still shaking. Faaawwwwwwkkkk! I hate him. I do.

That’s why I knew I wouldn’t be able to watch it 😡👺 Besides his orange constant frown I can’t hardly listen to his voice anymore 😡👺😈 What the hell is going to happen to us?😢

Rosemary, same. I can't even look at him, never mind listen. I am determined to reclaim my peace and sanity. I am going to start a Substack specifically for others who want to do the same. Follow if you want to join me. We are stronger and saner together.

Same, I'm just so afraid. We have no one to protect us from this man and his cronies

I started a support type group for all of us. We need a place to gather and remember that we are strong, powerful, and that we are going to be ok. It's free. I'm tired of being afraid! Please join me.

Same.

I made it to maybe 30 minutes and had to stop because of the lies, the bigotry, his fucking ego, and Mike Johnson smirking like an idiot who hasn't sold out his faith.

Expand full comment

That's pretty good. I'm sure many couldn't last that long lol. So grateful for him keeping us updated bc I can't watch it

Expand full comment

I didn't watch It. I don't care to know anything the liar and chief said. I'm sick of his propaganda, his racism, and sexism, he's disgusting, and I just wish he would just go away. Thank you, Aaron, for all what you do for us.

I walked into the house, heard him say something to the effect that November 5 would be one of the most important dates in American history, and turned off the radio.

Oh it will be, they will write about it just as they do Germany 1930s.

💯 What was he referring to? his re-election or something planning on doing, like I don't know, putting women in Handmaid's Tale clothing, and or minorities in concentration camps?

Expand full comment

I cannot believe he wants the death penalty for people who murder police officers yet he pardoned people who were violently attacking and attempting to k*ll police officers during Jan 6 it’s so infuriating

Expand full comment

It’s a slap in the face to anyone who has experienced police brutality. He absolutely doesn’t care about police.

Expand full comment

Right? What kind of total double standard is this????🤷🏻‍♀️

Expand full comment

Don’t do as I do, do as I say!

Expand full comment

Exactly what I came here to comment. What. In. The. Actual.F*ck?!! It's just amazing how they say one thing while doing another. I couldn't even watch. Thank you Aaron for doing this recap. I want to be informed, but my mental health can only take so much!

Expand full comment

Amen!

Expand full comment

Right!!! I was thinking the same thing!

Expand full comment

I didn’t watch it…I waited for Aaron’s recap! I had to rewind many (ok too many) times to see if I heard that right. Mind was blown.

Expand full comment

People already get the death penalty for killing cops.

I feel like he doesn’t even like cops.

Expand full comment

YES!!! J6!!!

Just like he wants to jail and expel college students who protest… What was January 6? Oh yeah… It was a love fest. The hypocrisy is his brand. That’s one thing.

But when the hypocrisy comes with

Dangerous consequences, then it’s just outright criminal and should be shut down.

Expand full comment

Will this apply to them? Nope!

Expand full comment

It should apply to Trump for did he not send a mob to kill the Vice President and storm the Capitol putting the Capitol Police in harm and outnumbered while Trump watched from the comfort of OUR WHITE HOUSE stuffing his big mouth with food while he watched all of it on television for hours sending no help and ignoring cries for help and his own daughter begging him to stop it. He could have stopped it. I'd say that was pre-mediated murder and made him partner in the deaths and harm (for some soon after the trauma of being outnumbered fighting that obscenely violent mob there were suicides) and others were maimed eyes, fingers. Michael Fanone suffered a heart attack and a brain injury! Where is the outrage! Where is the Justice?

For people who didn’t watch, please discuss how ALL republicans stood and cheered for all the horrendous his statements

When they had Al Green removed to “regain decorum” and they started singing? Like effing middle schoolers. JD making the hand movements on stage with a big grin on his face made me cringe. He’s such a effing joke, immature man child

Expand full comment

Vance’s middle name is Cringe. He makes me sick.

Expand full comment

Actually his birth name is James Donald Bowman, but I prefer cringe as well

Expand full comment

I thought it was Despicable or Dick

Expand full comment

I couldn’t stand watching JD’s smug face! He’s like a little boy standing behind the big bully who’s attacking someone! They all make me so sick!

It was like a sports game ! I cringed every time. It’s insane that our government has become a SNL skit, but sadly it’s our reality.

This is what I saw .. seals 🦭clapping in a circus.

I seen the best comment on YouTube. It said, “I wonder who is pulling the strings on the ppl standing up every other sentence 🤡🤣the more you watched the 2 idiots behind him, they actually look like puppets

Expand full comment

Putin is the puppeteer.

Expand full comment

It’s was appalling

Expand full comment

Vance and Johnson were sycophantic bobbleheads nodding and getting up and down every other sentence. The GOP was nauseating, clapping all in vigorous unison. Complete groupthink. There is no independent thought on that side of the aisle. I've never seen anything so horrible in the chamber in my 60 years. Shouting down dissent by yelling USA and hey hey hey goodbye at Congressman Green. Revolting.

They were told to. They knew Democrats planned to boo and they agreed to drown them out. Notice they had the House Rules at the ready (cuz Mike can't memorize them or do his job).

Teachers turning kids trans?

Etc.

He is a madman!!!

Expand full comment

Excellent recap! You touched on every point! And it’s all as asinine as that piece of crap. Don’t know how to get him out of office, but if he goes, they all go!

Her reminded us at least twice that he likes to say “Gulf of America.”

Expand full comment

I didn’t hear, thank God, anything about his ethnic cleansing/real estate plans for the Gaza Strip. Did I just miss it?

Truly sick in the head.

An absolute embarrassment of an administration.

Expand full comment

Agree

Expand full comment

You look exhausted Aaron 😔I tried watching it but got furious and couldn’t stand listening to him. Especially when he spoke about letting people buy their way in.

Expand full comment

Thank you for your update. So sad and horrified at the state of our nation. What a joke and just nonsense. I appreciate your non-bias reporting.

Expand full comment

Thank you Aaron!!!

One small thing: he claimed that "men" (referring to trans women) were in [cis] women's sports not "trans men". This was one of the longest Marathons of Lies I've ever watched. Nothing but him stroking his tiny ego and using the deceased to push his anti-immigrant agenda. Him "promising" to stop human traffickers and violent people from entering the US after bringing back the Tate criminals from a different nation was a huge hypocritical moment. At one point, it just sounded like he was spinning carnival wheels with different amounts of money, "anti-woke" terms, and random places to make idiotic accusations. What an embarrassment.

And every single one of them will buy it and soak in their cult glory. I. Can. Not.

And to think…we only have 1400 days and a lifetime of consequences left with this guy. Thank a Republican today.
