10. I do not think it is an insult, I believe it is a reaction to "Strong words" from Democrats but little action top stop

the criminal actions from republicans.

Below is from the movie "My Fair Lady" -- "Show me", which unfortunately represents what our party has been doing, strong words, strong letters that republicans don't even read and don't care, they continue to break the rules. I really hate to say this but, we know that if it was the other way around republicans would be on top demonizing every little word from Democrats, but as of now? They don't care about "words"...And let us not forget the famous quote "Sticks and Stones may Break my Bones, but Words will never Hurt".

Words!
Words! Words! I'm so sick of words!
I get words all day through;

First from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?
Don't talk of stars Burning above; If you're in love,
Show me! Tell me no dreams
Filled with desire. If you're on fire,
Show me! Here we are together in the middle of the night!
Don't talk of spring! Just hold me tight!
Anyone who's ever been in love'll tell you that
This is no time for a chat! Haven't your lips
Longed for my touch? Don't say how much,
Show me! Show me! Don't talk of love lasting through time.
Make me no undying vow. Show me now!

Sing me no song! Read me no rhyme!
Don't waste my time, Show me!
Don't talk of June, Don't talk of fall!
Don't talk at all! Show me!
Never do I ever want to hear another word.
There isn't one I haven't heard.
Here we are together in what ought to be a dream;
Say one more word and I'll scream!
Haven't your arms Hungered for mine?
Please don't "expl'ine," Show me! Show me!
Don't wait until wrinkles and lines
Pop out all over my brow,
Show me now!
