As President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address on
Tuesday night, the Democratic Party u a group currently possessing the collective emotional stability of a toddler denied a juice box u
decided that the best way to save odemocracyo was to skip the Capitol
and head to the National Press Club for an event they unironically
titled the oState of the Swamp.o

And how, you might ask, does one properly protest a sitting president
in 2026? By dressing up as inflatable frogs and six-foot giraffes, of
course. Because nothing says oserious political movemento quite like a
man in a yellow-spotted felt neck ranting about oPumpkin Spice Satan.o

The guest list was a literal WhoAs Who of people who havenAt processed
a single event since 2016. Robert De Niro was there, presumably to
mutter otough guyo platitudes into a microphone. He was joined by the
usual suspects: Stacey Abrams (still the orightfulo Governor of Earth,
one assumes), Jim Acosta (who surely brought a mirror to admire his own bravery), Don Lemon, and the ever-aggrieved Mark Ruffalo. Even George
Conway and Joyce Vance showed up, likely to ensure the legal
implications of wearing a polyester amphibious suit were properly
analyzed for MS NOW.

The ohighlighto of this menagerie was Robert Potylo, known as oRobby Roadsteamer.o Fresh off an arrest for being a public nuisance in
Minneapolis, Potylo appeared in full giraffe regalia.

Yes, a giraffe.

Between nonsensical riffs on oMr. Tangerine Mano and complaints about
ICE agents with otwo weeks of training,o the Giraffe-in-Chief announced
a revolutionary plan to fight the administration: Bingo. They were
going to ostorm the White House with loveo and, presumably, a winning
card of G-42.

This is what Democrats are doing instead of attending President
Trump's State of the Union speech.

While House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has tried to frame
this circus as osilent defiance,o the visual reality was anything but
silent u or dignified. The room was filled with ofrog-themed swag,o a
nod to the oPortland Frog Brigade,o because apparently, the Left has
reached the stage of grief where they simply identify as pond life.

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden praises Portland anti-ICE opatriotso:
othe uni-cyclers, the naked bike riders, the guy in the chicken
suit, and a whole lot of frogso while Trump gave the Purple
Heart to two National Guardsmen, living and dead.

While Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey gestured wildly about Constitutional trajectories, and former Trump staffer Stephanie Grisham performed her
nightly ritual of professional repentance, the rest of the country
watched a president speak. Meanwhile, the oResistanceo was busy
adjusting their inflatable flippers and worrying about whether their
giraffe necks would clear the chandeliers. If this is the oState of the Swamp,o the drainage is clearly overdue.

Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
love this country.
