SIAP - threads going up fast these days.

Check out this story from the Daily Mail.

Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D) Michigan, played Candy Crush at the Capitol while Trump was talking about international trade.

A Democratic congresswoman was caught on camera playing Candy Crush during Tuesday night's State of the Union address.

Michigan Rep. Brenda Lawrence tapped her way through the game on her iPhone while Donald Trump was speaking about revamping America's international trade posture.

New Jersey Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman was reading responses to her tweet about the president's alleged 'white nationalism' while he talked.

And Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty was inspecting a proposed press release reacting to the speech – while it was barely a third of the way through.



It's all a game to folks on the Hill. Literally, in some cases.

It's unprofessional but I'm not going to pretend I care if the opposition party tunes out during a SOTU

Why were the black folks there so freaking disrespectful? I truly don't get it. Who cares if you don't like him or not, show some respect for his position and the Chamber.

Didn't stand. Talked smack before and after. Played a freaking iphone game during the speech.

It's sad too because you didn't even have to look at the article to know who that trashcan is Yet they wonder why these stereotypes get rehashed.

True, but if you were that opposition, I figure you would want your representative listening and thinking about how to win. At stuff other than Candy Crush.

Just glad to hear a democrat is finally participating in something they actually might know something about.
