Trump’s claim that NAFTA cost 1/4 of manufacturing jobs has no basis, but the good news is that USMCA largely replicates NAFTA.

The Dems standing for the president -- and even staying in the chamber rather than walking out -- is a confession by them that their impeachment is an illegitimate farce.

Rush Limbaugh on NAFTA said ...
Skilled workers, educated people are going to do fine 'cause those are the kinds of jobs Nafta is going to create. If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people, I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do — let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.

If it would keep Trump from giving Alaska to the Russians I bet Schiff would do it.

That is the kind of patriot he is.

People around Schiff need to be careful since his eyes have now popped all the way out of his head and on to the floor.

I agree with Althouse: why even mention impeachment? You want this speech to be read years from now, when nobody will even remember the failed impeachment. Don't remind them.

Marc in Eugene said...

I can't listen to much more of Mr Trump's idiomatic rhetorical style-- it's 2104-- so hope that he's almost finished. I'll admit that he seems to have become more enthusiastic as he's gone along, although the breathiness is disconcerting.

"Will save some time and money."

I know I get, at least, daily texts from DJT asking for money. And, I get mail more often than weekly.

And all I did was buy one MAGA hat Christmas ornament and donate to the thing for the troops when DJT didn't go to one of the R primary debates.

I never gave big dough directly to DJT, only for the heroes.


BTW this is one of two texts re today:

"URGENT: We need 84 Trump patriots by TONIGHT's State of the Union. You FAILED to renew you membership & are INACTIVE. You MUST renew NOW [then there's an NRC link.]"

I am merely admiring Nancy's beauty. But since she is about the same age as my Mother, I am not going there!

Ps Bay Area Gal is drinking wine and barking at the tv. She thinks Nancy Pamts looks great too -- for her age.

Laslo, he's not giving it to the Russians. He's trading it for support in the 2020 election, remember? The art of the deal.

ARM is really shaking his ass tonight.

He is no Jennifer Lopez, but he is really trying hard.

Chuck said...

They have certainly confirmed a record number of federal judges. Thanks to a change in the rules. A rule changed for District and Circuit judges during the Democrats' majority in the Senate, in the second Obama term. And changed further in the Trump administration to include Supreme Court Justices.

A rule change that, at the time in 2013, Mitch McConnell denounced.

It's so odd; Trump talking about federal judges. I like his choices, but every time he talks about anything related to the courts, it is revolting. His ignorance is startling.

Mark said...

Thanks for that partial, out-of-context quote ARM.

Nichevo said...

The best part is afterwards when the President will turn around and greet VP Pence and totally, utterly cut Nancy Pelosi. That or toss her a ball to balance on her nose while she does her real clap.

Ryan said...

Speaking of new judges, I was in Federal Court yesterday and the judge was fuming about the idiotic $75k threshold for diversity jurisdiction, which hasn't been increased since the 1980s. I bet increasing the minimum to automatically account for inflation would be equivalent to appointing dozens of new judges, at least. Getting rid of the ADA and TCPA would be monumental.

Limited blogger said...

Can't wait to hear CNN's take on this Trump fest.

Oh yeah, there is also a 'rebuttal' coming.

Good luck with that

Unlike almost all VP's Pence has executive experience as a governor. Unlike almost all VPs, especially Joe Biden IV, he may actually have a shot at the presidency in 2024.

Pitch perfect as you say.

I thought Nancy P made an ass of herself not standing for a 12 years old kid who dreams of the Air Force Academy. What did he do to deserve her scorn? I noted she did stand for his father the general.

And Rush Limbaugh with a beard looks like an imposter. I am so used to seeing him cleanshaven that I can't absorb the beard. Same thing as with David Letterman and his beard.

Back to Trump. That was one of the greatest speeches I've ever witnessed. I wish his delivery were a little crisper, without the heavy breathing and the stringing of paragraphs together. But his multiple talents for showmanship easily make up for his rhetorical weaknesses. He really is a political genius. And this was taking the battle straight to the Dems.

First the Iowa caucus catastrophe. Then this fantastic speech. Tomorrow he's acquitted by Congress (will any Dems cross over?). I believe they call that a "hat trick."

Thanks for the comments - wasn't able to listen but just read the thread. Takeaway without actually seeing it is that the Dem's have oppositional defiance disorder. Whatever Trump does that is good for the country has to be bad because he's the authority figure. In that context, Nancy Pelosi perfectly illustrates her disorder by ripping up his speech.

Pelosi afforded Trump’s speech the respect it deserved. After Trump lying about protecting Americans with pre existing conditions, while he’s is in court trying to take away those very protections, someone should’ve stood up and yelled “You lie!”.

If I had 5 year old I would say that I would expect better behavior from my 5 year old, and that unlike Pelosi, I would get that from my 5 year old, which by the way doesn't exist.

Neither does Nancy's composure. I've never seen so much seethe.
