Democrats Prepare to Troll President Trump During Major Speech to Congress
Heatstreet ^ | February 27, 2017 | Emily Zanotti

Although President Donald Trump won’t be giving a formal State of the Union address Tuesday night (he’s only been in office a month), Democrats are still planning on making his address to a joint session of Congress as uncomfortable as possible.

Each legislator is allowed a handful of tickets for the public gallery, so that interested constituents and guests can be present for what is typically the President’s most important speech of the year. Most often, those tickets go to hometown heroes from the legislator’s respective districts, people who have made the news over the past year, or those who have benefitted from the administration’s policy agenda.

But the power can also be used for evil: Legislators have been known to pass off their tickets to protesters—including perennial anti-war activists Code Pink—or to special interest groups opposed to key items in the speech.

Watch for some Dem Congress-scum to yell out “You lie” while Trump is speaking.

From the sound of his comments in his campaign rallies, it sounds like he has a very good grasp on the actual "State of the Union".

President Trump needs to fill his guest seats with ICE agents.

Let them roll out with yet another round of shrieking harpies, the populace is sick of it as witnessed by Trump’s poll numbers rising every time the left pulls more of their typical crap. It’s not working anymore, they just don’t know what else to do.

I also wonder at the apparent lack of Republicans stacking the gallery in the same manner, there are more of them and they have tickets, too. They’re too nice and collegial I guess, bunch of dull functionaries.

It would be refreshing if Trump started out his speech with, “The national debt is at $20 Trillion. What the hell have you assholes been doing here the last 16 years?”

Fill them with the families of victims of illegal aliens.

And tell a brief background on each one.

Maybe find some stats on DACA chilluns who have killed Americans

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 27, 2017

*PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP AND FIRST LADY MELANIA TRUMP ANNOUNCE SPECIAL GUESTS FOR THE JOINT ADDRESS TO CONGRESS*

The President and First Lady are pleased to announce the following individuals will be special guests seated with the First Lady at the Presidents First Address to a Joint Session of Congress.

*_Megan Crowley_*: At 15 months old, Megan was diagnosed with Pompe Disease and not expected to live more than a few short years. To look for a cure, her father founded Novazyme Pharmaceuticals, a five-person startup that he built into a 100-person company. Megan, age 20, is now a sophomore at Notre Dame.

*_Jessica Davis & Susan Oliver_*: Jessica and Susan are the widows of Detective Michael Davis and Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver, who were California police officers killed in the line of duty in 2014 by an illegal immigrant. Their names are memorialized in the Davis-Oliver bill, which is aimed to increase cooperation between Federal and local officials to enforce our Nations immigration laws.

*_Denisha Merriweather_*: After struggling with coursework as a child and switching schools often, Denisha moved in with her godmother and enrolled in the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program. She began going to a private school, Esprit de Corps Center for Learning, and would go on to be the first member of her family to graduate from high school and college.

*_Maureen McCarthy Scalia_*: Maureen is the widow of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and the mother of their nine children. This month, President Trump nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch to succeed Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court.

*_Jamiel Shaw, Sr._*: Mr. Shaws son, Jamiel Jr., was a high school football star before he was tragically shot by an illegal immigrant, who was also a gang member, in 2008.

I was hoping Mr. Shaw would be there.

Looks like a good list.

I heard Mr. Shaw on Sean Hannity’s radio show last year.

An African-American from Los Angeles, a supporter of Donald Trump during the campaign, and overall, an amazing man.

What a shit show is country is now.

I am actually at the point to where I wish Hillary would have won. I have actually come to believe there is no way for Trump to succeed with 60% of the American people opposed to him and the entire congress unwilling to work with him.

This country is going down in flames fast. Id rather it had crashed and burned under Hillary instead of Trump.

America is being destroyed by the left and the sellouts to globalism before our very eyes. Those who voted for Trump are apparently now in the minority but how could that be? I have a Trump sticker on my truck and tonight I was almost run off the road by an angry driver. I had done nothing to make him angry. This is big trouble, this talk of impeachment and everyone in Congress on board. This is nothing but a coup attempt in America and the little people are backing it up.
