Stephen Miller’s po-faced objection to the Democrats’ refusal to stand for Trump got him thoroughly dragged, but AOC delivered the most devastatingly accurate takedown
At almost 110 minutes, Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address was the longest on record, and as anybody who has paid the slightest bit of attention could have predicted, it was a string of his usual provable lies and boasts.
The Trump State of the Union speech in two minutes.
You're welcome.

CNN’s Scott Jennings shared another Democrat protest, with his Trumpian bias on full dispay.
Moment of the night: Democrats refusing to stand to affirm their allegiance to American citizens over illegal aliens. Will be signature moment of this speech. Trump nailed them.

Stephen Miller, the shadowy figure behind the Trump administration (Think Dominic Cummings if he were a 200-year-old Transylvanian count …so just Dominic Cummings) weighed in with a performative rant about the Democrats’ refusal to stand at the request of the Liar-in-chief.
Democrats declared to the world their searing disdain for, and profound disloyalty to, the actual citizens of the United States. They were repeatedly entreated to stand. Over and over. They refused. It was a moment that chills to the bone and which will live for a thousand years.

“Entreated to stand” he’s the President not a King.
Also you sound like a complete wanker.
