Democrats’ Plan to Boycott Trump’s State of the Union Blasted…By A Democrat

I’ve never entertained politics in my life. I’m certainly not an aficionado on the issues. Got a long way to go to learn all the things that go on. But you know what I have? I have common sense. I have decency. I have respect for the office even when, or if I didn’t respect the individual, because I would understand that as a representative, whether it be that as a representative or a Senate, a Senator in the United States of America, guess what? I have a constituency to answer to.

“And I have people who need me, who I represent, and whether I like it or not, this individual is in office until 2028, and I got to find a way to do business with him in order to get something done,” he went on. “You see, when you go to the American people, and you ask the American people, you, stand up, step up, and handle your business. Stop b**ching and screaming all the time.”

Smith contended that for regular Americans, facing challenges at work doesn’t give you the right to simply walk away or throw a fit. Instead, you show up, pay your bills, and do what needs to be done. He pointed out that this same mindset often seems to elude elected officials, who instead act like children and turn every disagreement into a public spectacle.

When you got problems at the job, when you got bills to pay, when you got a family to take care of, find a way to work around it and handle your business. How come that can’t apply to elected officials? Why do they get to get away with that? Why do they get to circumvent those rules and regulations? Why do they get to circumvent the need and the insistence of mere decorum? This is the kind of stuff that ticks me off.

You and I may not agree on everything, Stephen A, but we definitely do agree on some things. This is one of them.
