most of them played it right this time. Acting like the adults while he's going off the rails is the best look for such an occasion.

I don’t even love the heckling tbh.

Every Dem should have boycotted the entire thing. He would have been even more enraged to be addressing a half empty hall

Say.. every democrat brings a hidden sign to the show, and plans the order of their action. Each time trump lies, a democrat stands up with a sign that just say "epstein". Then they either get escorted out or leave, and the next one does. Simple. Epstien. Over and over and over.
