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.

You're watching, so we don't have to? Thank you!
The good news is the dems have taken the last election to heart and will go in a completely different and exciting direction with their SOTU Response speaker: Joseph Kennedy III of Massachusetts.
Starring the Self-Aggrandizer-in-Chief. He will rattle off his alleged accomplishments ad nauseam. What a huckster and fraud.
Melanie Trump has an impressive list of special guests to join the festivities.
However, I still think Stormy Daniels deserved an invite too.
Trumpit: "Starring the Self-Aggrandizer-in-Chief. He will rattle off his alleged accomplishments ad nauseam."
Have you been stranded on an island for 50 years?
Looks like four SCOTUS justices.
Roberts (expected)
Breyer (standard)
Kagan (unsurprising to be there)
Gorsuch (new; unsurprising he's there)
Not there:
Ginsburg (first one she's missed in a long time--could be she was not up to it and was afraid of being caught napping--or it could be a message)
Kennedy (he's often there and I feel like his absence is a message)
Sotomayor (I can't recall her attendance history)
Thomas (hasn't been to a SOTU in forever; R or D)
Alito (stopped going after he correctly mouthed, "That's not true" when Obama claimed to their faces that Citizens United upset a hundred years' of precedent or something to that effect)
Starring the Self-Aggrandizer-in-Chief. He will rattle off his alleged accomplishments ad nauseam. What a huckster and fraud.
No, Obama is no longer President.
Watching on cspan. Exciting.
I predict chaos. Some walk out. Some heckle him. Major TDS.
“Impeach Trump!”
“Russia!”
Starring the Self-Aggrandizer-in-Chief. He will rattle off his alleged accomplishments
LOL, All I can think of is that episode of the Simpsons where the ham goes through the outflow of the dam, and then is launched far into the distance while Homer watched in despair, the line was “It ain’t coming back Homer.”
Well, Hillary’s chance to be president “ain’t coming back, either.” Quit whining about it. Tell us about whoever you have that you think is better, and how they are going to make our lives better.
Nikki Haley is hot.
My cable provider is giving me CNN but not FOX news.
Or DACA kids will chant.
Something big.
Instead of jerking off himself for a change, Trump will jerk off the country! Very exciting! I'm so curious to know exactly what he'll lie about and distort next! I believe everything the spewing pouter says!
What an exciting time to be a Republican. How nice that we get so many delusional voters who actually believe the guy will say something new.
CSPAN is where you want to be.

Snapshot from the dreams of liberals.
Friends, Romans, Countrymen - lend me your ears!
TTR: "I'm so curious to know exactly what he'll lie about and distort next!"
OMG! I hope he doesnt lie to us about nobody taking away our medical plans or doctors!
(We’re waiting for Inga to join from her cubicle in Russia through the proxy server in the Ukraine.)
TTR is a communist who doesn’t believe in standard economic theory, such controversial theories as “Supply and demand” he knows are wrong, he has a more “sophisticated understanding” of economics, as I believe he put it once.
So any move that Trump makes toward free market economics, and secure national borders, two items that are complete anathama to commies, viz the song Imagine, is going to make him see red.
Not that anybody should care, except he spews so much verbiage that nobody reads, it makes the threads hard to read.
'Total devastating hurricane' and completely predictable flood.
What an exciting time to be a Democrat. How nice that we get so many delusional lefties who actually believe Joseph Kennedy III will say something new.
I have always found these speeches to be embarrassing, all them of either party.
Not because of the President, but because of the childish spectacle after every paragraph of one party going crazy yelling and jumping up, and the other sitting on their hands scowling.
I also tire of guests.
I like President Trump enough to try and stick it out but no promises.
(Chuck is already seated in his work chair, with fresh coffee in his cup, as the fan in the proxy server in the Ukraine just came on to cool the processor. )
He mentions Los Vegas - was this a shout out to Stormy Daniels?
ARM: "'Total devastating hurricane' and completely predictable flood."
At least the dems arent blaming Trump for causing the hurricane or blowing up the levees.....yet.
Stormy was busy blowing Bill Clinton in the green room.
I’m surprised the democrats had the class to applaud Scalise. That will hurt them with their base.
ARM: "He mentions Los Vegas - was this a shout out to Stormy Daniels?"
The woman Trump did not have an affair with but the dems want to believe he did?
No.
The Utah Jazz are playing the Golden State Warriors on a competing channel, vying for my attention. Had Stormy Daniels been invited to the balcony, I woulda stayed with the SOTU.
Nanny Pelosi looks like her colostomy bag is leaking.
Any Standard Lib: How dare Trump take credit for an economy he destroyed....er...but obama deserves credit for...er ...'cuz its going great....even though Trump has ruined it...
Pelosi is picking bologna from her teeth.
Remember Dick Cheney’s hurricane controller ray? Good times.
No dem applause for jobs.
Not finding Donald 'what's it like to be a loser' Trump totally convincing as a uniter.
"Nanny Pelosi looks like her colostomy bag is leaking."
Liquid botox.
Nancy Pelosi does look very unhappy.
"Any Standard Lib: How dare Trump take credit for an economy he destroyed....er...but obama deserves credit for...er ...'cuz its going great....even though Trump has ruined it..."
There are delays re economic policies.
That's why it was Ron who caused the economic collapse of the Soviet Union, not Bush I.
Good grief, how about the 60 dead, this bureau cant find a motive for.
ARM: "Not finding Donald 'what's it like to be a loser' Trump totally convincing as a uniter."
Understandable.
It would help if you discarded the 'Maduro is the kind of leader we need' analytic framework.
OMG! I hope he doesnt lie to us about nobody taking away our medical plans or doctors!
You just lied about the obvious fact that he took away any incentive for people with the means to pay into and subsidize the same system that the people for whom the market won't provide rely upon.
But no matter! Just pretend they don't exist! Delusional cruelty is what makes retrogrades feel good!
The bad news is that the majority of American citizens have no savings.
"The Legend from Louisiana, Representative Steve Scalise." Wait, no mention of "The would-be assassin from "Terminate the Republican Party"?"
Sit down, corrupt democrats. You don't care about the American people. You care about lies and your own power.
Yes, and the uncertainty of the presidential race was holding back stocks! Even though people were 95% certain that Hillary was going to win, you forgot that excuse first!
I think that if Hillary had managed to keep Keystone dead, and made fracking all but impossible, and to shut down coal mining, driving up energy costs in the US economy, and kept the corporate tax rate at the highest in the West, then the economy would have done even better.
You people just don’t get it.
Sit down assholes. Corruptocrats only care about power and their own enrichment.
For a 76-year old, Nancy Pelosi is extremely hot. 40 years ago, she was smokin' hot. But that was during the Carter Administration.
adSs: "There are delays re economic policies.
That's why it was Ron who caused the economic collapse of the Soviet Union, not
Bush I."
Oh, so our model for analysis is not just ARM's Maduro model, but the Soviet model as well.
I think I am beginning to see the problem for you lefties.
If you hurry you can work in a North Korean analogy.
Ruth Buzzy decided to fall asleep in her own easy chair. All the upholstery of that chair can more readily absorb the spilled gin.
I gotta tell you: Democrats just look like they hate the American people. I wonder if the American people are noticing. Bernie? That miserable twit just looks...well...miserable.
TTR is a communist who doesn’t believe in standard economic theory, such controversial theories as “Supply and demand” he knows are wrong, he has a more “sophisticated understanding” of economics, as I believe he put it once.
Did you scramble your brains and see what he's doing to the deficit and debt? Of course not! He's a Republican and used it to "pay off" the wealthy! It's ok! Deficits and debt don't matter any more because he removed the revenue and gave it back to the people and institutions that need it least! How wonderful!
That's what Republican government does. The most for the people that need the least! Now let's go fund some more wars we're never gonna fight! Big weapons display makes He-Trump and She-Dittohead feel powerful! Yeay!
ARM: "The bad news is that the majority of American citizens have no savings."
I blame Trump.
You mean the plan, they still cant afford to use because of 5-15,000 deductibles tell me more.
Linda Sarsour said...
Republicans are applauding that they stripped millions of Americans of their health insurance including children.
The bad news is that the majority of American citizens have no savings.
Higher wages, more jobs, and lower taxes is the cure for that.
I swear Ryan started to say "prevent the President of the. .." before correcting himself and saying "present..." Did anybody else hear that?
I hope TTR has the decency and courage to return his unnecessary tax cut.
John Iadarola said ...
This monster is bragging about throwing more than ten million people off of their health insurance to give tax breaks to the 1%.
Dems hate it when Americans are happy.
Remember Obama's big lie about the $2,500 an average family will save on their health care?
LOL - good times.
"The bad news is that the majority of American citizens have no savings"
How can any sane adult have no savings? I mean, jeez Louise, that's insane.
Maybe, we should reinstate indentured servitude for some of these slackers.
I can see that ARM is going to post talking points all night. Whatever. Easy to ignore.
And TTR is mad that America isn’t socialist.
Bakari Sellers said ...
Under Trump job creation hit a 7 year low and wages remained stagnant.
who actually believe Joseph Kennedy III will say something new.
I don't care much for political dynasties in American politics in general, but The Kennedys! Jeezo-peep, Dems! Talk about a product waaaaaaaay past its sell-by date!
Fantastic.
ARM quoting an terrorist sympathizing bigot and adSs using the Soviet Union as an "relevant" economic comparison.
Thank you lefties. You've already made my night.
Linda Sarsour said...
Republicans are applauding that they stripped millions of Americans of their health insurance including children.
They love doing shit like that. Why care about Americans who go without when they can direct anger at foreigners who deserve less?
Less compassion for Americans, more hatred for the ROW, and more love for the owner class. Republicans are like puppy dogs who growl at the guest and grovel for the master, but lack any love for humans generally.
They're like warped demon dogs.
And he is posting unsubstaniated lies.
Drago,
The model is dollars and sense.
The Commies couldn't keep up w/ us because Ron told them to remove the wall and was a fan of Star Wars.
That's just ConEcon 101.
Mr. Read my lips just happened to be around when Ron's economic policies culminated in the capitulation of the Commies.
Duh.
And so it is now. The BHO economy.
The ACA threw millions out of their health plans, and gave them more expensive plans with higher deductibles. All while Obama quietly raided the treasury to give mega insurance companies our tax dollars.
ARM: "Bakari Sellers said ...
Under Trump job creation hit a 7 year low and wages remained stagnant."
Wrong. This is obamas economy.
See adSs.
LOL
"Any Standard Lib: How dare Trump take credit for an economy he destroyed....er...but obama deserves credit for...er ...'cuz its going great....even though Trump has ruined it..."
There are delays re economic policies.
Then why was Krugman predicting an immediate and permanent economic collapse on election night?
Dems sit for In God We Trust.
adSs: "And so it is now. The BHO economy."
Wrong. This is Trumps economy.
See ARM.
LOL
FactCheck said ...
In #SOTU, Trump said black unemployment is at the lowest level ever. It was 7.8% when he took office and now it's 6.8% - continuing a trend. There was a similar 1 point drop in 2016 & even larger decreases in 2013, 2014 & 2015.
Gah,
Ha.
Over my almost decade in these threads I've trashed Krugman a lot.
So, I'm not the go to re defending him.
Is it over yet?
Heh = giant Fuck you to pigs socks
In #SOTU, Trump said black unemployment is at the lowest level ever.
...and is it?
Why yes it is...so what he said was the exact truth.
I hope TTR has the decency and courage to return his unnecessary tax cut.
I know what you won't do with yours - pay for a destitute patients health care.
You like seeing Americans go without. And foreigners killed. It's like you balance one vice with the other. The wrath makes up for the greed, or something.
Now go adopt a billionaire and tell him how much you owe him. Let him know that you're at his service.
Hold up a sign that says, "Free hugs for billionaires!"
Short-term bubbles are Republican specialities. They just want to prove that they can do the 1920s without giving us 1929. Or the aughts without giving us 2008.
Maybe this third time will be the charm.

FactCheck said ...
In #SOTU, Trump said "since the election, we have created 2.4 million new jobs." Jobs increased by 1.84 million under Trump - 12% lower than the 2 million jobs that were created in the 11 months before he entered office.
Ah is citizens energy will be using Algerian crude, because they dont know how to keep the lights out in caracaa.
ARM: "FactCheck said ...

Its not Trumps fault that Obamas economy is not performing.
See adSs.
Lol
"More new circuit court judges than any other new administration, in the history of our country..."
Right. Because for the first time in our modern history, it's now just a majority vote in the Senate. And the Dems changed that rule, in 2013.
I think Trump is clapping too much for my taste, but it's funny when he makes the Democrats stand to honor the hated National Anthem.
Follows that up with Justice Gorsuch, the second amendment,and fired GS employees!
Gotta love it!
I'm hearing a lot of losers who take their orders from the Kremlin calling their opponents, "commies."
Ironic.
More commies in the Kremlin that commands them than there are in America. We're just not sociopaths, is all. We don't think the purpose of life is to figure out which Americans and people around the world need to be hated. That's what we rely on you guys for, until that stopped working.
The Dems would look a lot better on national tv if they clapped and stood for the things all Americans believe in -- jobs, wages, the flag, national anthem, etc -- even if Trump is the one who brings them up.
LLR Chuck weeps for his beloved dems...
Over my almost decade in these threads I've trashed Krugman a lot.
Krugman is an idiot.
But he made his prediction because Nobel Economics Prize wining Krugman knew the economy was going to be hugely and immediately affected by the results of the election. He was just 100% wrong about how it would be affected.
Late Night with Seth Meyers said ...
Ten bucks says Trump reads "hold for applause" aloud.
BTW,
The inheriting a trend thing does work both ways.
BHO inherited almost a million folks losing jobs each month. This trend took time to reverse. Give DJT a chance to reverse his BHO inherited dynamics. For better or worse. Time will tell.
We know, TTR, eat the rich.
Meanwhile, we get one context free talking point after another, each riddles with glaring omissions, from the other.
TTR: "I'm hearing a lot of losers who take their orders from the Kremlin calling their opponents, "commies."
We are going to need to see all the underlying documents to validate that claim per the new Dem Rules.
Thank you in advance.
Beautiful clean coal.
Maybe ARM didn't get the memo about Stormy Daniels making a statement today completely and unequivocally denying that she ever had a sexual relationship with Donald Trump. But of course ARM knows that's a lie because - well just because.
Incidentally, Stormy is much more credible on issues like this than, say, Bill Clinton. She never pled no contest to perjury.
adSs: "The inheriting a trend thing does work both ways."
Wrong! Per ARM.
Thanks for playing.
How much money did the Clintons take in from the secret sale of Russian Uranium?
Trump is making most the Dems stand to applaud. They can't afford not to.
Gah,
You can add Mark Cuban to that list re hacks.
[Of course, saying idiotic things seems to the winning way today: the dude in charge of Birtherism is now POTUS. Just sayin'.}
Jersey Fled: "Maybe ARM didn't get the memo..."
He did. He was simply hoping you and others hadnt.
Par for the course.
I'm hearing a lot of losers who take their orders from the Kremlin calling their opponents, "commies."
OK Damn it....
For all those braying about the Republicans and Russian collusion....can anyone point out something that Trump or his team have done that is as obvious, blatant and culpable an offer of collusion as the "After the election I'll be more flexible" remark?
What's the matter, Full Moon? Did you forget to wipe your ass and get the underage jailbait concubine to "roll her eyes" at you again today?
Live in the fucking present. Stop digging up quotes that you lack the brains to understand - let alone come up with yourself.
Full Moon's diaper needs changing.

Trump keeps bragging about all the jobs he has created
🔹Carrier announced more layoffs
🔹AT & T announced layoffs
🔹Sam’s Club closing stores
🔹40K tourism jobs lost
🔹#SolarTariffs will cost ~23K jobs

I dont think ARM actually Cuban a hack, but I could be wrong.
Obama could NEVER have given this speech. Or imagine Hillary’s STOU.
’m hearing a lot of losers who take their orders from the Kremlin calling their opponents, "commies."
As cognitively impaired as you often are, that one is even low from you, but in a free country, you can shit all over this tread. It’s one of the reasons that there are so many conservatives here, Althouse rarely bans anybody, but you lefties still need to shut down voices you don’t like, and sure you win tonigh.
Except you lose. Good luck getting Americans to ignore the economy in the fall. Or buy your excuses. Trump’s approval climbs, week by week under the constant assault of the left. Deal with it.
If Russia wanted anything from the United States, it was a President who would stop fracking.
Good thing they were able to sneak Trump into the White House......errr, never mind.
The Carrier guys are particularly pissed.
Coal in Democrats' stockings.
Before a 100-mile forced march.
We are going to need to see all the underlying documents...
Why? Because you live exclusively in the world of politics? It's fucking common sense, dippie. Facebook became a clearinghouse for "news" substitutes, and your boyfriends abroad bought them all out in 2016. And then they did something funny with the state voting databases.
Just admit that you're ok with all this. Russia's now fascist rather than communist (although there are plenty of those there also) and you admire Putin so it's now achieved Most Favored Nation status in the minds of the right.
Would that be the same Sarsour who wants to take the vaginas away from conservative women?
I was not going to watch - it's been years since I did - but this is fun.
He is not even trying to be nice!
Beautiful clean coal.
No such thing.
Take a science class.
Get off the bottle.
ARM: "The Carrier guys are particularly pissed."
I feel terrible for those the obama economy failed.

Smart politics is smart politics. Thus far, this speech is smart politics.
Old Ben wasn't exactly a Trump fan leading up to the election.
Democrats are loving Trump's talking about lowering prescription drug prices. The whole room is laughing, thinking Trump has no idea what the politics are.
What conservative will support Trump on that?
"Or imagine Hillary’s STOU"
You've ruined the moment.
Guys, he "saved" an industry that employs fewer Americans than Arby's. Let's not forget that.
All so that they can get black lungs by age 40 and live off a government health assistance fund.
But hey! Glory and "great again" and all that.
Make horses and buggies great again!
Based on how he said it, saying 'reciprocal' was a problem during the practice runs. The word must lie outside his normal 6th grade vocab.
Old Ben wasn't exactly a Trump fan leading up to the election.
He's not a fan now...he's among the most never of the never Trumpers...he's just honest enough to admit that Trump is succeeding.
Russia’s now fascist rather than communist
Fascism and communism, fraternal twins, change from one to the other by changing the letterhead. That’s why they hate each other so much, like Irish Catholics and Protestants, for so long. The rest of us need a program to tell them apart.
LLR Chuck: "Democrats are loving Trump's talking about lowering prescription drug prices. "
Well, if Durbin buys into Trump can count on your support.
Sit down, corrupt democrats. Sit down. Corrupt and evil. That's the modern democrat party.
Based on how he said it, saying 'reciprocal' was a problem during the practice runs. The word must lie outside his normal 6th grade vocab.
man I sure hope his speech doesn't include the word "corps".....
Did Trump invite anyone from Carrier to watch the SOFTU?
i see ARM has given up and revertedto Trump the dummy tactics.
Just like Chuck.
Unexpectedly.
I'm not a big fan of 'infrastructure'. I hear that as a code word for handing out money to cronies.
That's what the last President did.
I hope President Trump can do better, but I'm not holding my breath given how Congress works.
High paying union coal mining jobs are the same as working at Arby’s - Democrats.
"Old Ben wasn't exactly a Trump fan leading up to the election."
But he's been in the bag ever since.
Couldn't even come out strongly against the child molester in 'Bama. Ben had a live and let live POV. He's even more forgiving re DJT's F ups.
Obviously the professional-cons know that the rubes want what they want. So give it to 'em. Cash the check.
New NYT Poll-- 97% chance Hillary Clinton will never be President of the United States.
Pelosi steamed---at her age and in her physical condition, she could blow a gasket--all that Botox tends to block the circulation.
Not that I am fond of Pelosi---far from it; but I wouldn't wish a stroke on the poor old thing.
I think Republicans believe that you can scrub anthracite with soap and make it "clean."
These people literally are dumber than rocks.
I'm glad the mood is up. And Trump is politically clever. He might pull some important things off, yet.
But I'm nowhere near as gullible as the right, and hence retain all the skepticism and scrutiny about this natural fascist that he will always deserve.
How is Senator Bernie Sanders handling the speech? He mighta been up there giving the speech - had Hillary and the DNC not schemed to shut him out of the Dem primary.
High paying union coal mining jobs are the same as working at Arby’s - Democrats.
Well the reference had to do with numbers employed but I know that since you're a Republican numbers are not your strong suit.
And neither are analogies.
Coal mining jobs bring in foreign exchange by exporting something of value. Arby’s jobs?
What is going on with Pelosi's dentures?
David Begley said...
Obama could NEVER have given this speech. Or imagine Hillary’s STOU.
This speech would have been laughed out of the speechwriting room during the years when Jon Favreau was working for Obama.
This speech sounds like the speechwriters were told to make it sound like a Trump speech, only less nutty.
I disagreed with practically every major policy initiative in every year of the Obama White House. But he had great speechwriters; Favreau was a superstar. So far, the most famous moment of any Trump speech was George W. Bush leaving the Trump inaugural and saying, "That was some weird shit."
FactCheck said ...
Trump says he has ended war on coal. The U.S. added 500 coal-mining jobs in his first 11 months.
Did this beat out Arby's?
Hillary would be talking about all her punishments and how great she is for making everyone her slave.
Well the reference had to do with numbers employed but I know that since you're a Republican numbers are not your strong suit.
And neither are analogies.
Well, I can see that general comprehension is not yours. Are you high again?
As ARM intimates, SOTU is really, really close to STFU.
"I'm not a big fan of 'infrastructure'. I hear that as a code word for handing out money to cronies."
True.
But there are good cronies and bad cronies. Life is complicated.
Obama's lot chose some not-so-good cronies.
Pelosi looks like she is sucking on a lemon LMAO!
The lefties, led by TTR, have a new meme and it involves a fast food restaurant chain. You can't invent stupid like this, you really can't.
Republicans: We. will work to save good union jobs
Democrats: You will flip burgers and like it.
Fracking pays a lot more than burger flipping too, BTW.
TTR is not all bad.He went to Las Vegas, got two blow jobs, came back and gave me one. Thanks bro!
Does the concubine who "rolls her eyes" at you know that you harbor gay fantasies?
Does she just shrug it off and assume you're doing the same things down in the basement that you always do with the gimp?
Talk about sick.
I know you were just a sperm in your absentee daddy's ball sack when this came out.
Now try commenting about the post topic, you moral invalid.
My heart did break for the Long Island parents.
Putin is a nationalist like kornilov had kerensky fallowed him to dispatch
The Bolsheviks instead there were a 100 million dead.

FactCheck said ...
In #SOTU, Trump said: "America has also finally turned the page on decades of unfair trade deals." But so far the trade deficit for goods and services has grown under Trump by 11.5 percent.
Actual legit hunters (and hardcore DJT fans) liked talking about how cool it was that there was an Arbys venison sandwich (even though the closest Arbys was at least a couple hours away, and all food at Arbys is shit).
This is the folks I know. May not apply to all hicks.
So let me get this straight....all the good stuff in the economy is because of Obama. All of the bad stuff///like Carrier closing a factory, is the fault of Trump...is that right?
TTR and his ilk need lots of poor people, burger flippers, unskilled immigrants, so that they can work up a big enough proletariat to finally pull off their revolution.
$1.5 trillion for infrastructure... which the American people deserve. "Together we can reclaim our great building heritage."
Oh, good. Maybe Trump can use the infrastructure money to build up a network of Republican centers of power all across this great country of ours on the taxpayer's nickel.
Just like Obama did with the stimulus & the Democrats.
Republicans: We will work to save good union jobs.
Democrats: You will pay your union dues, and like it. We and the union bosses need the cash.
My wife and lost a great friend to a DACA 'kid' last month. Linda was a retired teacher who was run down by a this 'kid' who was street racing in a residential neighborhood.
The police tell us the 'kid' went straight to Mexico that night, and can't be touched there.
Americans are dreamers too!
Those fact checkers have such a lofty reputation of non partisan accuracy and complete even handedness that their every pronouncement is Holy Writ.
I agree with the MS13 stuff in broad outline. They are really bad news.
Trump talks of arresting illegal gang members.
SIT DOWN DEMOCRATS
Employment situation through 2017 (and historical going back monthly to 1948).
https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS12300000
I have posted this many times. It is I think, for employment, the most important metric, and it is internationally comparable besides, unlike unemployment rates.
Summary - Trump presided over improved employment situation but not a notable rate of increase since the previous administration. This is too early for a lagging indicator like this.
Not watching the SOTU show, but reading the comments here instead. Much more entertaining. Maintaining my policy of skipping Ritmo's worthless crap.
I must admit I am a bit surprised at the ferocity of the disagreement between ARM and adSs.
I mean, that escalated fast. Heres hoping they both keep their heads on a swivel as it becomes a nasty cockfight.
The police tell us the 'kid' went straight to Mexico that night, and can't be touched there.
He'll be back, and he'll kill again..they always do.
"Republicans: We will work to save good union jobs."
WTF? Has DJT change the GOP re 'right to work?' I doubt it.
ARM: "I agree with the MS13 stuff in broad outline. They are really bad news."
All kidding aside, those guys are literally at ISIS violence levels.
What kind of freaky stuff you like, bro?
Nothing like the kind that left your momma knocked up and on her own after your absentee pappy fell down a flight of stairs after another rough night.
Keep pulling that drawstring on your neck and parroting more of what you'll never have.
Tell us about your "eyebrow rolling" little lady's specialty missionary position and if she's satisfied that your sex life is as boring as you apparently think society told you it had to be.
Laying off the bottle will make you less unsatisfying in bed, BTW. But apparently limp and sexually unfulfilling is just how you roll.
Do you pay a midget to fuck your wife, for you? Sounds fun. Or at least, gets the job done, right?
Yep, keep thinking you're bragging with those quotes.
Ann Coulter's not going to be happy.

I think Republicans believe that you can scrub anthracite with soap and make it "clean."
And those of us who make steam for a living know that anthracite burns cleaner than bituminous. And that with modern scrubbing technologies, fewer pollutants leave the stack.
Similar to the scrubbers and pollution control devices that are needed to control emissions when burning "environmentally friendly" wood chips. Any solid fuel is, in the end, dirtier than liquid fuel, which is dirtier than natural gas, which is dirtier than nuclear power.
Yes, clean burning coal technology exists. But it's a relative thing.
Someone should post shots of Dick Durban, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Bernie Sanders. These people all look like they had colon surgery today.
Drago,
you missed the opportunity to use 'cuckfight.'
Shame.
Americans are Dreamers, too, Baby!
adSs: "WTF? Has DJT change the GOP re 'right to work?' I doubt it."
Reading is fundamental.
Chuck fluffs Obama's speechwriter -- unexpectedly!
Right to work doesn't eliminate unions...it just gives individuals the choice as to whether to belong to one. You know... freedom.
TTR and his ilk need lots of poor people, burger flippers, unskilled immigrants, so that they can work up a big enough proletariat to finally pull off their revolution.
If you need them to rely on billionaires so timid and meek that they require DJT to blow up the debt to make them feel appreciated enough to raise their wages, then your own revolution sounds far more phony.
Also, as I have noted often enough, the perception of political risk in the US is probably suppressing growth - i.e., the economy would be growing faster than it is, if it were not for the perception of political instability.
If some kind conservative billionaire were to buy CNN it may well add a point or so of GDP growth.
Reading is for nerds and losers. DJT era.
"love and respect our country"

When has Ann Coulter ever been happy?
Anger is her schtick.

Should have ended the speech after C.J.
ARM said: "I agree with the MS13 stuff in broad outline. They are really bad news."
Trivia question: Who rolled out the red carpet for them?
Just to fact check ARM a little bit, CNN reported that 1300 coal mining jobs were added in Trump's first term, not 500.
This compares to 50,000 coal mining jobs lost during Obama's tenure per a report in the Washington Post.

Under your plan, Mr. President, NO COURT will ever ever ever consider the "educational attainments or moral characteristics" of illegals before granting amnesty to millions.
Sanctuary cities are the red carpet.
TTR: "Keep pulling that drawstring on your neck and parroting more of what you'll never have."
Wait!
Wouldnt there have to be a drawstring to pull to initiate the drawstring to be pulled to actuate the parroting?
And indeed, wouldnt there have to be a drawstring for the drawstring for the drawstring?
I believe its turtles, all the way down.
If we wanted a buncha unskilled, low wage Mexicans to get US citizenship, we might as well just annex Tijuana.
Reading is for nerds and losers. DJT era.
I bet Trump's presidential library will actually include a library.
"I bet Trump's presidential library will actually include a library."
Must be gilded. And, only as a background motif.
More room for glitz and class.
Obamas presidential "library" only requires oral instructions for those studying the Community Organizer Catechism.
