发帖数: 61690 | 1 House Democrats are rallying behind a plan to make President Trump’s first
speech to Congress as uncomfortable as possible by inviting guests they say
will suffer under new White House policies.
The strategy means Trump will likely face a crowd including ethnic
minorities, LGBT people, undocumented immigrants, the disabled and others
when he addresses a joint session on Feb. 28.
It’s a shift in tactics for Democrats, some of whom skipped Trump’s
inauguration last month in protest.
Democrats say there are no plans to stage a similar boycott of Trump’s
speech, but they want to put him face-to-face with people who feel alienated
and targeted by his controversial executive orders.
In a letter circulating on Capitol Hill, a group of liberals is urging
fellow Democrats to bring guests who have made “a positive impact” on the
community “despite discrimination or marginalization.”
“It is our hope that their presence in the House Gallery will remind
President Trump that he is not the arbiter of patriotism,” reads the letter
. “This country belongs to all of us, and his rhetoric of intolerance will
not stand.”
The authors of the letter are as diverse as the crowd they’re seeking to
assemble.
They include Reps. Jim Langevin (R.I.), who was shot accidentally as a teen
and became the first quadriplegic to serve in Congress; Michelle Lujan
Grisham (N.M.), head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus; Cedric Richmond (
La.), chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus; Judy Chu (Calif.), head of
the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus; and David Cicilline (R.I.)
and Jared Polis (Colo.), the co-chairman of the LGBT Equality Caucus.
“We want to send a strong message to the [president] that he cannot push
these communities aside, and he cannot change the fabric of this country,”
they wrote.
Some liberals are also eyeing another form of protest during the speech:
When Trump walks down the center aisle of the House chamber on the way to
the dais, they’re hoping no Democrats scramble to get in the picture for
the traditional handshake. |

发帖数: 14241 | 7 我早就说了，主党现在和民进党一样，不会干正事，只会煽动族群分裂并从中谋取选票
和政治利益。
再好的制度也需要有一定素质的人来执行。当年利比里亚全盘照搬美国制度，现在还是
一个战乱和政变不断的落后国家。现在主党及其拥趸把持了教育和媒体，民众的素质越
来越差，美国的制度未必能持续运转下去。 |

利比里亚及其他后发民主国家的内乱大多源于大选后失败一方不接受大选结果。 |

，本想搞个左逼独裁，没想到和党控制了政府和议会，彻底傻逼了。

发帖数: 6095 | 12 说实话我现在觉得台湾人民总体素质比较靠谱。很少外来移民，更别提黑穆墨了。大部
分都是中间派。所以不会出现一党专政。而且台湾大选投票查ID，是纸票，每个开票点
都是即开即唱。谁输谁赢也没打砸抢。美国嘛，呵呵。
