LIVE: Opening Day of 116th Congress – House of Representatives (C-SPAN)
The U.S. House opens the 116th Congress, elects a new speaker, and plans to take up legislation to reopen the government. Full video here:
Why are they opening with a prayer? I want complete separation of church and State.
Demonrats are moralless and secular pukes anyways.
+Tronald Dump Fuck the Muslims
It was a non-denominational prayer.
+cleo0399 can you expand on this ? i’m actually interested in your response.
Most of the representatives are Christian. And the motto of The United States of America is : In God We Trust
I suppose any minute now trump will tweet his congratulations to Pelosi and all new members….oh right…hahahahahahaha …trump…ha.
No Trump the moron showed up to say WAAAAA I WANT MY WALL> FUCK TRUMP
Joe Newbie What’s so bad about the wall?
AKzebraMiner they live on the other side
Piglousee
Opening with a prayer for who??? They don’t know god
Exactly..those moralless self righteous pukes don’t represent all of America,not even close..you will see in the next two years how much they will fuck up and the American people will hold them accountable in 2020.
God doesn’t exist.
+cleo0399 Literally every country is laughing at America. We are the laughing stock of the world. What exactly is your definition of “fuck up” ?
And you are such an expert obviously.
butt cheeks So we are a $20 trillion country yet we are a joke?
Time to put this evil administration in check!
Hahaha
116th turned around and upside down is 911
David Frison You’re damn right.
Checkmate atheists.
Dino Spumoni libtards rekt epic style
The white house cut in half streched out and turn gray is the twin towers
A historic year for women on both sides of the aisle. So many firsts this year! I think 2019 is going to be a better year than 2018 for everyone.
so now less then 50% will get anything done while women pat themselves on the back for nonsense. SHUT UP this is worse then before LOL – Repeal the 19th
+Patriotic Warrior women’s place is on their backs.
Its extremely important that people witness this part of the installation of the house. This is when they sneak in shady resolutions and sneaky rule changes
Yeah….like where are the tax returns.
+Demond Kemp you couldn’t read them even if you actually were entitled to see them. where are yours..you go first. oh right you are a democrat you don’t work LOL
+Patriotic Warrior Pretty ignorant to assume democrats don’t work. I’m a software developer that pays my fair share of taxes, and billionaires like Trump should too. If you consider yourself a republican, and you somehow justify Trump’s presidency that couldn’t get anything done even with a gop congress then you’re not as “patriotic” as you claim to be since you clearly have no idea what that means.
What a beautiful opening prayer by Rev. Cleaver. Brilliantly written.
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE YOU FUCKING MORON.
Joe Newbie Calm the hell down please…

Democracy is dead
It’s a scam a joke they are a waste of our money
Because the people who you wanted to win didn’t? Lol sore loser.
I wonder if you were saying democracy is dead when Donald Trump won the election despite earning vastly fewer votes. Something tells me you weren’t…
Timothy Branca No it isn’t. All these people got in through popular vote, nothing has changed.
Why is he speaking first?! It’s her victory, he is stealing it, the thing Republicans do best.
whats that ? republicans pointing out how stupid you are?,
ya we do that. Here we go what we do best:
YOU CECILY ARE STUPID! you’re welcome LOL Feel better? Moron
Cecily Harrison Eh, they have been doing that forever. I guess this is the first time you watched a Congress opening day livestream.
Patriotic Warrior What the hell are you talking about?
If its stealing its clearly the Democrats..look at that wretched black witch in Broward County in Florida..Dr. Snipes..Doctor lol,where did she get her degree from,a cracker jack box?this is probably the most corrupt county in America where the Sheriff refuses to resign and sees that his department did nothing wrong after the Parkland high school massacre where his deputies stood outside and didn’t have the stones to confront the murderer..PATHETIC…Broward and Palm Beach County,two incompetent and corrupt counties.
It’s a tradition lol relax.
I feel we are going to have a false flag again soon.
1:29:05 for Ocasio-Cortez ?♂️
She was one of the pukes that said she would not vote for Nasty Pelosi,someone got to her.
Let’s see what the neoliberals in charge Pelosi and Hoyer how hard they challenge Trump on the investigations but most importantly how well they fit the progessive litmus test.
What’s the progressive litmus test in your eyes?
+Dino Spumoni A focus on policy substance rather than cliches and caving to the Republicans. Overwhelming popular demands that are fiscally possible
Medicare for all
Green New Deal
Living Wage
Making Public Colleges Tuition Free
Much more stronger consumer financial protection
Investigating Trump on business corruption rather than just focusing on Russia
Yknow what would would be dope
If citizens United was abolished
Also if our potus would reopen the government would be great considering a wall wouldn’t even fix anything as most illegal immigrants come over on legal visas and just stay after they expire
You shouldn’t become a millionaire by legislating
Just saying

Gotta Love all the Christian conservatives on here getting their panties in a wad over the prayer. As if they are the only ones who can “know” or define God. Lame.
No, Kevin McCarthy America is not the greatest country in the face of the planet, we are a global laughingstock. Neoliberals and neocons stop with American exceptionalism bullshit
Why did they start this with a prayer? What happened to the separation of Church and state?
Nerdvana’sDomain It meant to not make any laws related to church. So church and state is separated. But looks like they got away with this, since it’s not related to making a law…
Stop using my tax dollars for prayer.
