I'm settling in for the big show. Let's talk!
1. The NYT has some advance excerpts, including: "This is our New American Moment. There has never been a better time to start living the American dream."
2. Supreme Court Justices present: Roberts, Breyer, Kagan, Gorsuch.
3. Melania enters, smiling warmly, wearing a white pantsuit and white satin blouse.
4. Trump begins by talking about various heroes and pointing to individuals in the gallery. This is what has in the past always come at the end of the SOTU.
5. "The Legend from Louisiana, Representative Steve Scalise." Trump is warming the place up.
6. Pelosi looks steamed.
7. "If there is a mountain, we climb it. If there is a frontier, we cross it...."
8. "The state of the union is strong, because our people are strong."
9. Lots of talk about God, the flag, "... and why we proudly stand for the National Anthem."
10. "Judges who will interpret the Constitution as written...."
11. $1.5 trillion for infrastructure... which the American people deserve. "Together we can reclaim our great building heritage."
12. "Americans are dreamers too." A sharp line within a discussion of immigration law enforcement.
13. Several immensely affecting stories introducing individuals in the gallery. Trump does an excellent job of dramatizing these stories — parents whose daughters were murdered by M-13, a soldier who saved a fellow soldier, the parents of Otto Warmbier, a North Korean man who suffered terribly before escaping.
14. "It's the people who are making America great again."
15. An excellent speech, extremely well delivered, I think.

Joe Kennedy III is giving the speech at a very nice junior college auto shop."
Nothing says winning! like having a Bengals banner hanging behind you.
It's great to hear a Kennedy speak out against rich celebrities.
FullMoon = Andrew Cunanan.
Chuck - Trump needed one item that inspired the corruptocrats to clap.
It's going to take me a bit to forgive BAG for putting Pelosi and "hot" in the same sentence...
I’m sure if you ask the superstar Favreau that question he can give you an answer Chuck.
Seriously, can you name a single thing about the Republican President’s SOTU that you liked Chuck? Anything? His blue tie?
Sad old speech by a sad old man, I fell asleep to his droning on and on, woke up to a fresh faced young man with a positive message. The contrast couldn’t have been starker.
Nine paragraphs, haha!
Nothing original or provocative.
Try harder. Loser.
Winning!
All well-evidenced, too.
You're devolving further.
Yes, you like the attention. And it's because you're gay. And fixated on me.
And this is the only way you feel it can be expressed/appreciated.
Anyone else here disagree?
Where's your wife tonight? What does she think about the disgust you feel with C-cup breasts and cunnilingus?
All sociopathic, stalking gay males wish their male crushes were gay, also.
OK, 403 comments already. Without looking, I'm going to guess that 250 of them are by four or five people.
My question is this --
Was the Russian ambassador on the floor of the House chamber, like he was (on the Democrat side) for Trump's address to a joint session last year?
This was the firm that didnt get the battering ram:

OK, 403 comments already. Without looking, I'm going to guess that 250 of them are by four or five people.
One of those four or five is quoting another one and recycling his own comments up to three times in a row.
That would be the uneducated Bay area, closeted gay Trump fan. The stalker.
The Andrew Cunanan.
If you want to talk about Trump then throw Andrew Cunanan Full Moon off the island. Before he loses it in a standoff.
Dickin'Bimbos@Home said...
The democrats looked ridiculous and it was glorious."
They really did. And Trump did something truly brilliant. Notice that the guests he highlighted were either Democrat scapegoats or objects of their derision or victims of Democrat policy. The small town business couple and the kid who puts American flags on the graves of veterans - goodness, one can imagine the sneers on the faces of liberal elites. The cop ( a white one and so, according to the left, a pig and a racist) who adopted the baby of a heroin addict. A Hispanic ICE agent; a serviceman and woman who saved lives.
And then there were the families of the girls murdered by the MS13 thugs. I'll bet they thought they could hold it together but began weeping as Trump described what happened to their daughters.
The party of Victimization had to look at the victims of their policies right in the face and they didn't like it one bit.
Check out the deranged ramblings of "FullMoon" (Andrew Cunanan-wanna be) and ask yourself how proud any of you Trump supporters are to count him among your ranks.
Oh well. Nazis, Putin and closeted sociopath gimps.
What a party.
"I have wondered sometime how people - particularly all the 'regulars' - find time to comment on here."
I repeat myself --
Because hours upon hours are saved by skipping over entirely the usual suspect commenters.
To add on to my earlier comment, the reason I think the Dems should have chosen an older person to deliver their counter argument isn't that older people are better at delivering a counter-argument it is that they are generally better at delivering a counter-argument which they didn't really believe.
Young people only have an advantage delivering a speech like that when they believe what they are saying. This is generally the case because they are too stupid to know any better. In this case the Kennedy seemed to know what he was saying was nonsense.
I just see Li'l dickie "us troops are gestapo" Durbin with a sourpuss look on his face and I know that LLR Chuck must be seething!
LOL
Seething....
Where is Bernie Sanders' response? I wanna hear about the triumph of Venezuela socialism.
Yes Inga,
He was "fresh".
TTR: "One of those four or five is quoting another one and recycling his own comments up to three times in a row."
Give me 20 minutes and glass of orange juice and I'll beat that record!
Lucien: "I’m sure if you ask the superstar Favreau that question he can give you an answer Chuck"
Between the "superstar" Favreau, "magnificent" obama, "brilliant" Maddow, "professional" (hack) John Harwood, "accidental leftist" Chuck is fresh out of compliments.
Fresh. Out.
Unless you are a Stolen Valor democrat liar, then LLR Chuck might just be able to work you in.
Just me and you, loser.
Gimmes a couple of fresh paragraphs.
Something original.
Provocative
Humorous
Interesting.
Entertaining
Oh, I see. As determined by you.
Here's a hint, sport. No one goes by your taste on anything.
Words that will never be uttered: "FullMoon had a really good idea - let me tell you about it."
"FullMoon has a really nice sense of taste in..."
"FullMoon..."
You get the picture.
Entertain yourself. You're stuck in a marriage of convenience at diametric odds with your sexual orientation.
Go masturbate. When your wife "rolls her eyes," just tell her you're gay and it beat having to stalk and tempt the murder of the object of your infatuation.
TTR, in all seriousness, you ought to backdoor a request to Althouse to blog on the Western Civ crisis in our universities and select something topical to base the thread on.
So is this fresh faced young scion just a rapist or is he a murderer too?
Because only the murderers get to be a Senator.
It's a rule of thumb in the Kennedy family.
Maybe he can just murder an intern and get a morning show on MSNBC.
It's good to know that the stupidest threads are just ripe for the threadjacking.
Let us know what you're adding to the thread. Other than your love of being obsessed and desperate pleas for attention.
Inga thinks a Kennedy is "fresh." Her family should have stayed in Europe since she's so fond of aristocrats and family dynasties extending into the third generation.
Trump not only drove it out of the park, he hit a grand slam in all 9 innings.
TTR, in all seriousness, you ought to backdoor a request to Althouse to blog on the Western Civ crisis in our universities and select something topical to base the thread on.
That's fine.
Honestly, I'd put just a comment or two even on this thread that was more topical but a fatherless, aggressive homo-fuck has been up to his stalking and the little orphan needs some mentoring. Can't refuse the charity. Apparently a knock upside his empty head would be the most affection (esp. male-on-male) he's felt all year. He must crave it. It takes all kinds.
I seriously doubt that Althouse takes "backdoor" requests.
Sharpen up.
langford peel: 'I seriously doubt that Althouse takes "backdoor" requests."
Well played Sir. Well played.
The lefties here are particularly unhinged tonight. That really my favorite thing about Trump-the way he drives the left and their in-house media insane. ARM quotes Linda Sarsour, raging anti- Semite proponent of Sharia Law in the US. I am very interested in her opinion. :) Inga says a Kennedy is a fresh face. I guess this one hasn’t raped or sandwiched any women yet, or left one to die in his car, that we know of, so there is that.
And it's great when a guy who occupies a legacy seat in Congress tells Americans that they can't get ahead because the game is rigged in favor of the 1 percent.
I got distracted by Joe K's shiny spittle just below his lower lip. But he did a decent job except for the race baiting and lies about the tax cuts.
exiledonmainstreet: "Inga thinks a Kennedy is "fresh."'
In Inga's defense, it's been around 19 years since a Kennedy got some chick killed, so.....
"KENNEDY, NOW, MORE THAN EVER"
or
"There's Never Been A Better Time To Buy Gold......And Vote For Another Kennedy!"
It wasn't a speech that will go down in history.
But, he looked sane, so, the Narrative Hardest Hit.
sane_voter: "I got distracted by Joe K's shiny spittle just below his lower lip."
He better be careful. Looking out of control like that is likely to get you lobotomized by that family....
LLR Chuck is still reeling from the Tax Cuts, Dereg, Judges, etc.
It's all going so very very wrong for him...
My mantra
Oh, Lord it's hard to be humble
When you're perfect in every way.
Can't wait to look in the mirror,
I get better lookin' each day.
And very, very gay.
And can only get attention,
the stalking way.
And wife too frumpy to stray
But my family all went away
And I'm stuck this way
Can't engage with what people say
Much easier to act as in a play.
Print out the thread. Take it to a shrink.
Since you don't have money to pay, tell him you'll let him stay in a wing of your McMansion for a week.
Say that the value of the property will surely make it a monetary win for him. Or something.
I never watch these speeches but I was eager to watch this one because Trump is Trump. I agree with your point 15 and only wish you had written more in your inimitable way of describing these kinds events as they happen. You're terrific at it.
“Inga says a Kennedy is a fresh face. I guess this one hasn’t raped or sandwiched any women yet, or left one to die in his car, that we know of, so there is that.”
How many women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct now? 20? You can close your eyes to the horror that is your President, the rest of us see him as he is.
Always with the violence,eh, Mr. Antifa.
Were you just fantasizing about gay male rape?
When was your last physical contact with your father? How gentle was it?
Why do you need so much attention?
The guest on the most recent Joe Rogan said that he sticks a glass thing up his asshole to massage his insides.
He said he first had this done to him by Lindsey Vonn's trainer. Now he does it to himself.
He's straight w/ a wife and kids. Lives in Eastern WA. Ben Greenfield.
Maybe FullM could say that he's massaging himself. Like a pro athlete! That's not gay.
There were several LOL moments during Trump's speech, but one I haven't seen mentioned was when he grabbed the glass of water at the lectern, quickly showed it to the crowd, and smiled. Obviously making light of his two handed sip a few weeks ago. Hilarious!
Inga: "How many women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct now? 20? You can close your eyes to the horror that is your President, the rest of us see him as he is."
I don't know.
How much has Soros spent again?
TTR: "Were you just fantasizing about gay male rape?"
Do you find "gay" and "male" redundant in that particular construct?
Ben Greenfield also sticks stem cells in his dick to make it bigger and harder.
Probably a few folks interested in that 'round these parts.
Note: Inga thinks unproven allegations are equivalent to decades of proven abuse along with manslaughtering and abandoning a gal to drown due to his drunken negligence.
And the lefties only supported Teddy STRONGLY, PASSIONATELY, for the next 30 years.
Hey, no biggee.
It's not like the lefties supported this killer for 40 years or anything.
LOL
Inga, I can understand your view, but I’m genuinely curious - after the disasters that were the Bushes and the Clintons, don’t you think that America just needs to say no to Royal Families?
There are 300 million people in the United States, can it really be possible that a small number of “elite” families like the Bushes, Clintons and Kennedys have earned the right to represent the rest of us? We fought a war over 200 years ago to assert that wasn’t the case, but in the fallible fashion of human beings we seem to be steadily giving up that hard won ground inch by inch, foot by foot, as the years go on.
Do you find "gay" and "male" redundant in that particular construct?
There's no such thing as redundant when it comes to putting something across to that thick-headed psychopathic asshole. He needs everything spelled out for him.
Like: N-O F-A-T-H-E-R.
W-I-F-E I-S A B-E-A-R-D
adSs: "Probably a few folks interested in that 'round these parts."
Uh, you were the one who brought it up....
How did you, uh, "accidentally" come across this...uh..."interesting" bit of info?
Joseph Kennedy is certainly good looking and a Kennedy. Also he's got red hair which most people generally take as a sign of superior intellect and morality. Sadly, he was unaware of the drool spots on either side of his mouth. Drool spots tend to subvert the message of a speech......He's well into his thirties and has not been involved in any sex scandals. Well, maybe with this new found fame some Hollywood types will start hanging out with him, and he will discover what being a Kennedy is all about.
William: "Sadly, he was unaware of the drool spots on either side of his mouth."
He's a dem.
CNN will airbrush that out by morning.
BTW adSs, I'm sorry about your "falling out" with ARM today.
I didn't realize you two were so at odds on ownership of the economy.
I guess that ARM will never learn, eh?
“Inga, I can understand your view, but I’m genuinely curious - after the disasters that were the Bushes and the Clintons, don’t you think that America just needs to say no to Royal Families?”
I won’t hold young Joe Kennedy’s family against him. I listened to his speech without any thought to which family he belongs to. Means next to nothing to me.
Come on Drago,
I can see that folks here wouldn't know about Pod Save America. But, Joe Rogan?
Anywno, if you gold years-ers wanna know what the yutes are up to go w/ this:
https://www.podcastone.com/pardon-my-take
Yur welcome.
William, the media made a lot of hay out of Rubio just stopping to take a drink of water, but I'm sure they will not mention Kennedy's drooling, although it was quite obvious.
Maybe he spotted a hot young coed in the crowd and began salivating uncontrollably. Kennedy genetics.
Drago,
ARM was being data driven.
I just went w/ BS. My specialty.
No conflict, just different strokes fer different folks.
Interesting. Kennedy's speech struck me also as meaningless.
"Joseph Kennedy is certainly good looking and a Kennedy. Also he's got red hair which most people generally take as a sign of superior intellect and morality"
uh I think redheads have a slightly negative connotation. At least now.
It's good to know that the stupidest threads are just ripe for the threadjacking.
So when a guy named "FullMoon" makes the thread entirely about himself that certainly wouldn't be threadjacking. Especially with that 4-line poem he uploaded about his perfection and looking in mirrors and whatnot (now deleted).
Say, how about that global warming? Cooled down since Trump elected.
Is that really what you believe?
I mean..beyond intentionally blurring the line between immigrants and illegal immigrants.
It was better than I expected.
walter: "Interesting. Kennedy's speech struck me also as meaningless."
Nonsense.
Joseph Kennedy III is bringing back the slobber speech!
I thought it was forever gone with the last of the Beethoven the Dog movies.
"It was better than I expected."
You, only expected grand slams in eight innings.
Joe Rogan is for old farts.
You need to listen to "Tim Dillion is Going to Hell."
Remember folks, ONLY illegal aliens have dreams.
You stupid citizens who need to be replaced only have these weird deplorable visions which you mistake for dreams...
...stupid Americans.
Why are you so obsessed with what I say TTR?
Probably because you're so stupid, lonely, wrong and bot-like.
”...woke up to a fresh faced young man with a positive message.”
I’m speechless. It was dark and depressing.
Nothing matters to you expect which team a person is on.
Lem: "It was better than I expected."
CBS snap poll:
Overall: 75% positive
Breakout:
Republicans: 97% positive
Independents: 65% (approx) positive
Democrats: 47% positive
You know what that means?
America is "literally" 75% Hitler....no. Wait! Sorry. Mussolini...no. Wait! Sorry again. Stalin!! Yeah, that's the ticket.
Stalin!
Okay, thanks Inga. I have to admit, his family means something to me - if it wasn’t for his family he wouldn’t have that seat and be in position to give that speech.
I do give props to Kennedy's crew in the room.
The applause signs were lifted to good effect..at least in the first half of his spiel.
Kinda waned toward the end.
Suss out the 60 cycle hum though..not professional.
I dunno Langf.,
I've tried that, but it seems a bit too Adderall spiked and gimmicky.
IMHO.
It's only an Instapoll, but it is CBS, not Fox - 75% approved of Trump's speech.
No wonder Pelosi looked like she was chewing barbed wire.
75% approve of the Trump SOTU.
At this rate, adSs will be calling it "Obama's SOTU" by tomorrow morning.

Dillion is not my thing but the kids like him.
Personally I prefer Joey Cocco Diaz.
No adderall. Just edibles.

It's hilarious.

Witness the black and Hispanic folk he put in the spotlight of sympathy and adulation.

Elections matter. 3 more. Get used to it.
Fullmoon: "Obama a master."
You misspelled "utterly dependent and helpless without"
“Politicians can be cheered for the promises they make. Our country will be judged by the promises we keep.
That is the measure of our character. That is who we are. Out of many, one.
Ladies and gentlemen, have faith. Have faith. The state of our union is hopeful. We’re resilient and enduring.”
Now this is a message that resonates. What Trump droned on and on about was old, stale, boring and depressing, so much so I fell asleep.
Inga said...

1/30/18, 11:28 PM
Then why did Pelosi look like she sat on a tack?
Joe is right though:
From the CBS poll:
Generally speaking, are you optimistic or pessimistic about the next three years with Donald Trump as president?
Optimistic: 64%
Hahahaha!
You misspelled "utterly dependent and helpless without"
Yep, he was a good actor. Incapable of improvising if 'prompter skipped a beat. Think he used it at a classroom of third graders once.
President Trump did OK. It looked more like a pep rally with all the clapping. I found the two couples who lost their daughters moment uncomfortable. We are applauding the death of children now? The Dems reactions at certain parts of the speech were 'amusing'. They didn't do themselves any favors tonight.
The Kennedy speech was perplexing. The best they could come up with was a JV high school debater prepped by SJW college students?
Inga: "Now this is a message that resonates"
LOL
A thimble thrown into the oncoming wave that is headed the other way...
CBS Snap Poll: 75% overall approve of speech.
Even 47% of dems supported the speech.
Inga part of the 25% SOTU Deniers.
Sleeping and drooling go together.

pacwest: "We are applauding the death of children now?"
Don't be purposely obtuse.
The people there wanted to show support for the parents of the girls who were murdered by some of Inga's Dreamers who happen to like "dreaming" about and carrying out the massacre of American children. Applause was the only way in the moment that audience could try and "reach out" to those parents.
Obviously.
Inga: "Now this is a message that resonates"
It was undoubtably reassuring to the 14% who said Trump's speech made them feel "scared." I think those were the kids in Joe's audience.
They're now back in their dorm rooms with their blankies and nooks and Teddy bears and hot cocoa so they feel much better and not all icky and afraid. Maybe a TA will read them a nice bedtime story - like "The Golden Book of Communism."
exiled: "It was undoubtably reassuring to the 14% who said Trump's speech made them feel "scared."
Nonsense.
That 14% was hiding under the bed with a fluffy rabbit from the "Bad Mans Who Talked Bad Things".
I note young Kennedy eschewed the "rising tide lifts all boats" of JFK tax cuts era...oops.

@AmericaRising
And now Bernie Sanders' #SOTU response feed isn't working.
Thanks for demonstrating how this would work in a socialist country, Bernie!
10:07 PM - Jan 30, 2018
What an enjoyable evening.
Democrats built their power with the death of black children.
At best they don't care.
At worst they facilitate it to play the race card for dimwits.
That is why Dicky Durbin is so worried about Mexicans while hundreds of black children are murdered in Chicago every year. He doesn't give two shits about them.
Donald Trump is reaching out to black people trying to get them jobs. Black men in particular. WThat terrifies them.
I want to hear Maxine Waters wrangle some Espagnol...
"Don't be purposely obtuse."
OK. I probably deserved that. Nonetheless, I find that kind of pandering distasteful in the extreme. Trump isn't the first to do it, but I know what I don't like and that fits the bill. Don't use the personal grief of others for political purposes.
ignore Global Warming hysteria.
What makes it "hysteria?"
Never trust a ginger.
Or a Kennedy.
> High paying union coal mining jobs are the same as working at Arby’s - Democrats.
My cousin says the coal miners in WV make about $70,000/year. He is a state auditor, so that is probably about right.
FullMoon did a good job deleting his comments, today. Next step is how he can learn to stop posting comments to begin with.
After all, he knows he has nothing original to say that anyone wants to hear.
He is saving this comment right now in the hopes that he will find a reason (to be deleted within an hour) to use it again. Who can blame him, though? It's not like it's not better than his own. Anyone's comment is better than his own.
Think of all the effort and wasted energy that goes into that. Just to give a full-grown toddler the illusion that he is contributing/can contribute.
Sky is falling/burning/changing TTR.
T'row da shit!
My cousin says the coal miners in WV make about $70,000/year.

Democrats despise the working class.
Especially the white working class.
They don't go to college for Woman Studies. They don't shop at Whole Foods. They don't eat arugula. They don't know how to order fancy sandwiches.
Those are jobs that will never come back.
They didn't build that.

Hey, what is this "death" thing and why should it get in the way of our lives? People should live forever! Who needs this science stuff to remind us about "natural limits," anyway? Saint Reagan was escorted into Paradise as a healthy, bucking young lifeguard. NOT as a demented nonagenarian!

Time to buy Aluminum!
..AND CARDBOARD!
Missed it earlier, just finished watching it on CNN, since they were the only ones replaying it. Strong speech by the president. The sour faces of the Democrats as President Trump delivered his litany of economic good news were priceless. It must have really sucked to be them, especially as they contemplate Americans getting more money in their paychecks starting in February.
I also just finished watching it just now. One of his better speeches overall. Like Clyde, the sour faces on the Democrats was amusing.
It's been a long time since this nation could cnsider a Kennedy as a fresh face.
So will his wife turn into an alcoholic or drug addict? Or just be driven to commit suicide?
Hmmm TTR must be using "new-new" math.
Pop quiz:
What's worse
Losing 369 points on an almost 27,000 Dow
Or 500 on a 3000 Dow?
I actually bought more stock today.
We can't drill our way out of this.
Bwaaaaaaaa
I love this "new normal."
From the grandeur of the U.S. Capitol building to a public access cable set in an auto tech school in Massachusetts. Joe Kennedy III, son-of-privilege cubed, talking about the lives of the struggling is amusing. What does someone like him, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, know of struggle? Maybe they should have gone with one of the party's septuagenarian stars instead.
ignore Global Warming hysteria.
What makes it "hysteria?"
Because we are in global cooling until about 2050. The Germans said so. They did experiments.

Democrats had to pick some drooling idiot to try to respond.
Nobody with a triple digit IQ was dumb enough to take the job.
I never understand the "liberal" Hive's complaint that Trump is divisive, like that is inherently a bad thing. Sheep, goats, etc. No way in hell should people like me--for whom liberty is the highest political value--be in the same corral with servile government sniffers and State humpers like Robert Cook, Toothless, et al.

At least you had a little nap first.
"Extremely" well delivered? That sounds like the American equivalent of English football broadcasters for whom every third goal is "brilliant."

I find it hard to believe that at this #MeToo moment the Dems would have a Kennedy give their response to SOTU. Perhaps he will be their headliner at the next Jefferson-Jackson Dinner as well?
Don't the Dems pride themselves on being the party of the cultural avante gard?
Republicans rule, Democrats drool. :-)
Going for 600+
Pelo$i has a denture problem and may soon need assisted living.
"Perhaps he will be their headliner at the next Jefferson-Jackson Dinner as well?"
I think they have abandoned Jefferson-Jackson Dinners, or at least don't call them that anymore. They were slave owners, you know.
"Ironic how earlier Nancy Pelosi told the Democrats to let Trump be his "slobbering self," and yet it's the guy giving the Democrat response who needed the drool cup!"
And it was Inga's "fresh" and shiny new Kennedy who was drooling, not the old guy giving the SOTU.
Pelosi looked like one of those people in the Fixodent commercials who realize their dentures are slipping.

If you don't mind, I am saving that one in my Notes for future use. It's a keeper. I'll be sure to give you credit.

I saw about 5 minutes of the Kennedy "response". He yammered on about the economic strength being limited to the top 1% ignoring that we have the lowest unemployment rate since the tech bubble and the lowest black unemployment rate ever. It's bizarre Dems continue to cite their fantasies as reality, and amazing so many act as if their fantasies are reality. I guess that's how Dems have chosen to capitalize on their media dominance but it seems both short sighted and wasteful to me.
woke up to a fresh faced young man with a positive message.
Everything sucks is a positive message? Those people are intentionally sticking it to you because they're racist is a positive message?
Some people will believe anything as long as it supports Team Blue.
Judging by the number of responses the usual suspects are here in force whining their loss of power and influence and desperately trying to relevant and witty. The two things they should actually avoid doing and address the issues.
Poor lefties. Like the animatronics in a "Rain Forrest Cafe". Their time has come and gone and no one is maintaining the machine. We can see the gears and levers that make it all work and the fabric that covered all of it has been revealed to be a thin veneer of lies.
Cheers! Losers

Oh no, don't look! The Dow lost 369 points today!
So after this the Dow is only up 31% over the last year. Whatever can we do about this catastrophe?
You'd think people would have more discipline than to reveal their desperation to characterize everything negatively.
I thought it was a good speech but a little long due to the applause interruptions. I got annoyed with them in the last 15 min or so.
I teared up for all of the parents and the heroes.
"Extremely" well delivered? That sounds like the American equivalent of English football broadcasters for whom every third goal is “brilliant."
Ha ha ha. You guys set the bar pretty damn low for him, didn’t you?
Eclipse is starting, if anybody is up right now.
Sad old speech by a sad old man, I fell asleep to his droning on and on, woke up to a fresh faced young man with a positive message. The contrast couldn’t have been starker
Inga does a deep and trenchant analysis of the night for us and then gives us the message for which we have been waiting with bated breath: “Drink more Ovaltine.”
They had Kennedy in front of a car?
AYFKM?
The DM has Kennedy's drool mouth highlighted. Remember the left claimed Marco Rubio drinking water at the podium proved he was too lightweight to be President. The issue isn't Kennedy , it's the left's basis for evaluation and criticism.
Listening to clips on the news, it sounds like an estrogen festival.

“Inga says a Kennedy is a fresh face. I guess this one hasn’t raped or sandwiched any women yet, or left one to die in his car, that we know of, so there is that.”
How many women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct now? 20? You can close your eyes to the horror that is your President, the rest of us see him as he is."
Our resident dullard, who "closed her eyes" for two decade as Bill Clinton and other Democrats raped their way through the women they came in contact with, suddenly thinks she is part of "the rest of us."
Inga said...
“Politicians can be cheered for the promises they make. Our country will be judged by the promises we keep.
That is the measure of our character. That is who we are. Out of many, one.
Ladies and gentlemen, have faith. Have faith. The state of our union is hopeful. We’re resilient and enduring.”
Now this is a message that resonates. What Trump droned on and on about was old, stale, boring and depressing, so much so I fell asleep.
The lowest historic unemployment for black Americans, the first serious wage growth in decades, the millions of workers and business prospering because of tax reform, the defeat of ISIS, the resurgence of American manufacturing, and America being energy independent is "old stale, and boring."
But she finger bangs herself to sleep over some do-nothing Kennedy that has never had a real job. Never raun a business. Never hired an employee. Never met a payroll. Who summered every year of his youth in Cape Cod. Thinks that his warmed over prog gruel of hopey-changey is something "fresh." But it's a good thing that she's too fucking stupid, unlike the democrats who couldn't even cheer the success of America, who sat there all night knowing that life was going to get harder, to understand what's really happening. Better she be like Rainman, spouting prog talking points instead of watching Wapner.

"The Kennedy speech was perplexing. The best they could come up with was a JV high school debater prepped by SJW college students?"
Maxine Waters was on BET. The Democrat bench is a little thin.
It's so refreshing to have a President who loves America. It's also refreshing to have a President who has balls and a First Lady who doesn't.
I look forward to the day when flag reverence emoticons can replace social standing and saluting. It will be a real time saver.

Suburban women are the nation's largest and most critical bloc of swing voters.
Melania’s face last night though. Priceless.
Three in four Americans who tuned in to President Trump´s State of the Union address tonight approved of the speech he gave. Just a quarter disapproved. - CBS News Poll
Wow, disapproval of the speech seems limited to the hard core partisans like Inga.
Our resident dullard #IngaKnew, the person who made a rape joke about our last general election is too fucking stupid to understand the optics of Democrats sitting on their hands with a scowl while Republicans cheered success in America.
Just some of the things Democrats did not celebrate:
1) Lowest black unemployment in HISTORY
2) US energy independence
3) Lowest Unemployment overall in decades
4) Wage growth
5) Apple and Exxon Mobil investing in America
6) Chrysler moving plant back from Mexico
7) Two foreign automakers building plants in Alabama
8) Millions of workers getting thousands in bonuses
But the assholes did BOO the criticism of chain migration.
What despicable selfish fucks $IngaKnew and her prog friends are.
They let Joe Kennedy drive the Democrat car.
I saw about 5 minutes of the Kennedy "response". He yammered on about the economic strength being limited to the top 1%
Who are you going to believe, Democrats, or your bank statements?
Peer reviewed research agrees with Donald Trump
Using newly released detailed data on all prisoners who entered the Arizona state prison from January 1985 through June 2017, we are able to separate non-U.S. citizens by whether they are illegal or legal residents. Unlike other studies, these data do not rely on self-reporting of criminal backgrounds. Undocumented immigrants are at least 142% more likely to be convicted of a crime than other Arizonans. They also tend to commit more serious crimes and serve 10.5% longer sentences, more likely to be classified as dangerous, and 45% more likely to be gang members than U.S. citizens. Yet, there are several reasons that these numbers are likely to underestimate the share of crime committed by undocumented immigrants. There are dramatic differences between in the criminal histories of convicts who are U.S. citizens and undocumented immigrants.

Geez! 600 comments...on the annual PR event that is the "State of the Union Address"™.
Amazing! We really are living in a TMZ world!
"'Three in four Americans who tuned in to President Trump´s State of the Union address tonight approved of the speech he gave. Just a quarter disapproved. - CBS News Poll'
"Wow, disapproval of the speech seems limited to the hard core partisans like Inga."
Or, only people inclined to like Trump bothered to watch. I never watch any of these annual propaganda events...I already know "the State of the Union is sound" will be asserted, no matter what the reality is.
Democrats as a whole and the Black Caucus in particular did not applaud the good news about historically low black unemployment. Why, Ione would think they need their black constituents to be undereducated and jobless to win elections. Who’d have thought it?
People who vote watch.

If Teddy Kennedy had dived in the water, it was only six feet deep, he could have saved her, they could have paid her to shut up, and he would have been president. Profiles in Courage.
I fervently pray that our hostess would change the comments section to include a "reply" function. And a button to skip to the next comment. It would save considerable time and bother for those of us who really don't enjoy childish pissing contests.
"Or, only people inclined to like Trump bothered to watch."
Leftists didn't watch it, but they know what Trump said! It was bad!
