There's the Mittwit's first instance of talking out of one side of his mouth, while uttering his vote with the other. You all knew it was coming.

Re: 116th Congress: Episode 1 - Trial by Fire
The kids are kids, which basically means that they’re good for a few meaningless and futile gestures, but not much else. They’re like a new puppy. Gotta love their enthusiasm, but don’t be shocked when they pizz on the carpet and their handlers have to put the leash on them. You’d think they would have learned that after Pelosi spanked them for standing up to her.
Embarrassing congressional leadership will get you on Maddow. Not a great plan for legislating though.

exactly, NY must be proud that she is searching for Mitch, the district could have sent a bar maid to perform that task
oh wait, they did

It's possible that kids know best what will keep other kids engaged, which I hear is important.

The proof will be in the legislation she gets passed. Without it she’s just so much noise.

Edit: Though, come to think of it, I don’t think there’s a member of the house that doesn’t annoy me.

Re: 116th Congress: Episode 1 - Trial by Fire
I think there were two or three comments a day or two ago on the topic, but not much.
Personally I like the idea. It seems like it's probably a good political move for the Dems because it denies him the public stage before a national tv audience, but the SOTU address is just one of those things that annoy me. The fawning, repeated applause by the congressional representatives from the same party as the president. The whole "who didn't clap and what does their body language tell us" analysis that goes on in the tv talk shows for days after. I probably haven't watched one in its entirety for 20 years.
My expectation is that someday we'll see the Republicans do the same thing, if for no other reason than retaliation, and maybe we can kill this thing off.
