Twitter was flooded with memes Tuesday night comparing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer to 'disappointed parents' as they responded to President Trump's Oval Office address.
Pelosi and Schumer used their allotted time after Trump's prime-time speech to rip his 'obsession' with the border wall and castigate him for 'throwing a tantrum'.
Schumer and Pelosi, who both served in office during the shutdowns of the Clinton administration where House Republicans ended up getting most of the blame, blamed the president for a 'senseless shutdown' and called the wall 'cruel' and unnecessary.
Meanwhile, Twitter users wasted no time pointing out their stone-cold sober appearance.

Twitter was flooded with hilarious memes comparing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer to 'disappointed parents' Tuesday night
George P. Bush said in a tweet: 'We are not mad, we are just disappointed.'
Another user quipped: 'When you think you can sneak into the house after staying out too late, but mom and dad are waiting up for you in the living room,' one Twitter user quipped.
Others compared the pair to Grant Wood's classic 1930 painting American Gothic.
Pelosi said during the rebuttal that 'much of what we have heard from President Trump throughout this senseless shutdown has been full of misinformation and even malice.'
Pelosi said: 'The President has chosen fear. We want to start with the facts.
'The president is rejecting ... bipartisan bills which would re-open government – over his obsession with forcing American taxpayers to waste billions of dollars on an expensive and ineffective wall – a wall he always promised Mexico would pay for,' Pelosi said, keeping a stern expression on her face and speaking directly to a single camera in the Capitol with Schumer alongside her.
The line echoed what she privately told House Democrats in a remark that immediately leaked: that for Trump the wall is connected to his 'manhood.'
Pelosi responded to Trump's emotional appeal: the president mentioned rapes and human trafficking at the border, as well as individuals murdered by illegal immigrants.
'The fact is: the women and children at the border are not a security threat, they are a humanitarian challenge – a challenge that President Trump’s own cruel and counterproductive policies have only deepened,' Pelosi said.

Schumer was equally slashing in his own remarks.
'My fellow Americans, we address you tonight for one reason only: the President of the United States – having failed to get Mexico to pay for his ineffective, unnecessary border wall, and unable to convince the Congress or the American people to foot the bill – has shut down the government,' the New York Democrat intoned.
'American democracy doesn’t work that way. We don’t govern by temper tantrum. No president should pound the table and demand he gets his way or else the government shuts down, hurting millions of Americans who are treated as leverage,' Schumer said.
'Make no mistake: Democrats and the President both want stronger border security. However, we sharply disagree with the President about the most effective way to do it,' Schumer continued.
He then asked a question many Americans and furloughed government workers may be asking: 'So, how do we untangle this mess?'
'There is an obvious solution: separate the shutdown from the arguments over border security,' Schumer offered. 'He urged moving forward with the current House Democratic plan of passing spending bills that originated in the GOP-run Senate.
But Senate leader Mitch McConnell has already rejected it, saying he didn't want to waste time on votes he cast as being only for show.
The Democratic leaders elected to try to pummel Trump on the wall, his payment pledge, and the shutdown itself, mindful that the president has never topped majority public approval, and the border wall also lacks majority support. But the president has an advantageous pulpit in shutdown situations, and often is able to set the terms of debate.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
