Partisan divisions were on display as Republican lawmakers gave Trump frequent standing ovations, while Democrats sat stone-faced, held signs, and walked out of the chamber in protest.

Dems should have done more. It was a golden opportunity to show America and the world that there is resistance! Strong resistance and dissent is necessary.
What I genuinely am saddened by, and equally perplexed, is how much he lies, reduced the office of POTUS to rubble, uses bullying and is so completely immoral and cruel, and yet, half the congress salivate over him and are more partisan and full of hate than ever. It's really sad.
Glad they sat “stone-faced” as the told lie after lie, and performing his childish name calling, and snarky comments which are as always beneath the office of a president. How about NPR fact check for us and put out a list of his lies?
So dems had their chance to stand up to fascism and…nothing but a few walk outs and signs. We need to see solidarity within the party! Get it together!
The biggest shock is that Trump is the leader of the GOP. This inarticulate buffoon is the best the GOP has to offer. We are passengers on a bus travelling a precipitous road and the driver might as well be clinically blind. Let's all pray that we survive the next four years.
Trump can just lie like that while in the middle of a fascist coup and you assholes are gonna call it “partisan divisions”!??!? Fuck you NPR, this is bullshit sandwiching of a fascist coup, you fucking complicit terrors.
This is the weirdest fascist coup ever and you all in the media are not doing well for the history books. For fucks sake, “partisan divisions”? during a fascist coup? what the FUCK is wrong with you braindead fucking idiots.
One party is full of FUCKING NAZIS, YOU SPINELESS SHIT HEADS
Unbelievable. Whoever wrote this garbage is evil. Fuck you, you fucking hack, fuck your editor, and fuck the IT guy who isn't crashing your site on purpose to prevent this stupidity from spreading
It’s a cult. There were no party divisions… there were normal ass people, and crazy ass people. That’s what it’s all coming down to. This feels like pre WW2 Germany delusional Government right now
I’m just beyond sad that there aren’t just a few republicans that feel they need to stand on the side of democracy and their constituents. I feel that if there were a few to speak up, maybe just a few more would follow. How can they all just sit and blindly clap for this horrible person?
More Trump lies and propaganda. It looks like the Dems response was piecemeal with absentees, signs, heckling etc. A more coordinated response would have been better e.g all Dems walkout as a group. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social What is the plan for the resistance? Doing nothing is not an option!
Oh..., which republicans do you mean? Have they spoken out, against the lunicracy of Trump? How does it show they're so good? Have some of them stood up for Zelensky? Is there any critical voice within the GOP?
This article you sent me tells me , that republicans not only don't have the courage to stand up to and critisize the Trump administration, they also don't have the decency to defend Trump's policy in person at town hall.
Who are those decent republicans you talk of and how does it show?
Shame on the wannabe dictator and his puppet regime, their appalling treatment of allies while voting with Iran, Russia and North Korea in the UN speaks volumes about what’s ahead.
No, the Democrats behaved authentically by not having a choreographed protest. They did not come off as stage-managed propaganda, like last Friday in the Oval Office.
Ya know when everyone was mad that no one helped the woman thrown out of the town hall? Why didn’t the Dems follow Rep Al Greene?
I didn’t watch … did ANYONE stand up for him? I’m thinking not. They held up signs 🙄
Where's the reporting about how Republicans are knowingly on board with lies? Republicans are a shameful disgrace and represent toxic propaganda divisive rhetoric and selfish greed. Please stop forgetting to mention this whenever you refer to partisan divide.
These are NOT "Partisan Divisions" dammit. The Democratic Party is clearly a far bigger tent than "journalists" seem to recognize. The OPPOSITION to Trump's man-child rampage of revenge & retribution will not go unchecked or unopposed.
It was OPPOSITION to the MAGA cult being heard last night.
Those were paid Republican stand-ins on the Democrat side. The real reps didn't attend, and said they heard Republicans were filling the Democratic seats. It was all staged, as usual. He is creating his own play and we have agreed to be his puppets.
I fixed it: Unethical lawmakers gave Trump frequent standing ovations for lying, while Democrats sat stone-faced, held signs, and walked out of the chamber in protest.
Wounded civilians pulled from the rubble after a Russian missile shattered the “Central” hotel.Rescue efforts are ongoing. Horrible and can happen to your kid if this elevates to nuclear level,America kids London colleges other EU universities ..horribly scary for our bright kid broad..
Tell voters to show up. This is on 3rd party voters, the "protest voters' and the don't give a damn I'm staying home voters.
Politicians aren't rock stars and citizens must stop expecting to be awed or thrilled. You vote for who can do the job. not who excites you.
Most disgraceful person to ever hold the highest office! I feel so much anger towards the people that voted him in. How can people be so incredibly hateful and selfish?
with the exception of Al Green, I did not see any active or boisterous protests. does no one in the Democratic party get it? walking out instead of screaming opposition does not register (or matter) to bozos like those running the show right now.
I wonder where Melania goes to tan or get spray tanned. Do you think she has a private glam squad or she goes somewhere for an appointment? If it’s someone or a few people she pays individually to tan/spray her, I wonder who they are. I wonder if they kiki. I wonder if they talk.
As per usual, The Liar in Chief continued his lies. What a sad fraud.
NPR did a great job fact checking here. Kudos to them!
The far right doesn’t care about facts, of course and will blame all his failures on Biden or Democrats, but the polices set forth so far suck & will so reflect long term.
Trump and his two little puppy dogs - this picture and those men disgust me. I'm terrified of losing my social security to some of the richest people on the planet and they couldn't be happier with themselves. Gross and just ugly through and through.

Please report this accurately. It isn’t partisan divisions. It is a facist coup.

Who are those decent republicans you talk of and how does it show?
The Dems are all kiss asses
Democrats and Republicans need to go away and we need to start fresh
No more PACs
Everyone register unaffiliated and let’s vote for the person and not the party
The parties are all for profit
What’s there to clap about?
I didn’t watch … did ANYONE stand up for him? I’m thinking not. They held up signs 🙄
In the end, the elites and globalists will win if they keep both sides fighting each other. They really don't care about us.
It was OPPOSITION to the MAGA cult being heard last night.
And that’s how America can be great again.

tlaib was alone last year holding that war criminal sign at bibi.
she was not alone tonight. that IS a visual that matters.
and the walking out does matter. because god damn, yeah they're slow af, but momentum. the train is at least going forward.
we keep pressing
He gave them a talking point to say that Democrats are out of touch.
It wasn't a good look.
How about actually resisting?!?!?
