As everyone geared up for Trump’s dreaded State of the Union address — preparing for a level of arrogance never before seen as Trump soothes himself on the prospect of his impending acquittal in the Senate — we expected some pretty grade A trolling to go down.
Despite his upcoming bullshit exoneration, Trump is guilty as the day is long and everyone damn well knows it.
And it didn’t take long for the displays of protest to kick in. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi herself got things off to a good start when she offered Trump a handshake at the very beginning of the shindig, only for him to make a petty ass out of himself and refuse to return the gesture — resulting in Pelosi giving him a heady combination look of “eat shit” and “I give zero fucks about you” that will be meme-worthy for generations to come.
It was only a matter of minutes before her fellow Democratic women in attendance at the address followed suit, standing up in their seats in a powerful display in defense of their drug pricing bill, even if Trump did completely ignore and continue to talk over them.

But the very best display of protest against Trump and his blatant corruption was also the quietest — carried out by Democratic Representative Jerry Nadler and a pocket copy of the United States Constitution.
Sitting quietly in the audience as Trump delivered a State of the Union address that can only be described as a thinly-veiled MAGA rally, fueled by the confidence of an impending acquittal vote come tomorrow, Nadler turned his attention to a small, pocket-sized version of the US Constitution, the pages flipped about halfway through, a look of silent satisfaction spread across his face — undoubtedly reminding himself as we brave the storm that is the Trump presidency, that this is not what America stands for.

Sometimes silence speaks the loudest, folks. However, something tells me Jerry won’t have his feelings hurt should Donald stumble across his photo and get himself all worked up into a tizzy, either.
