State of the Union and Response
« on: February 06, 2019, 10:58:33 AM »
I didn't get to watch it all.  

Trump is an awkward public speaker.  There's no doubt there.  Obama wasn't.  He was glib and smooth.  The difference is that for all his awkwardness, Trump is actually doing the things he talks about where Obama was merely paying self-serving lip service.  Obama wanted to be liked. Trump really doesn't care.  

Last night, Trump played to the audience a little bit, but I found his speech to be in line with his basic core values:  1) America first, last and always, 2) Distaste for the entire "political" process, results matter more than grandstanding, 3) Strengthen the economy, support the military/first responders and secure the borders.  

I was happy with his affirmation that we'd never be a socialist country (much to the obvious and visible consternation of the creepy Aardvark and the bubble head Cortez).  I would have liked for him to play up his (undeniable) successes even more than he did.  

I thought it was a really good speech rooted in patriotism. It was positive, it was affirming, it was encouraging.  

As for the democratic response?  Big load of recycled turds.  It was numbingly awful, focused on failure and laughable in its attempt to paint Trump's obvious victories as failures.  It was, frankly, disgraceful.

Stacy Abrams admitted she didn't even watch his SOTU. She wrote that response (along with Chuck and Nancy, I'm sure) beforehand.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

One would think that this would be the most racist comment on this thread re  the democratic response, but nope.

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to beat any of these guys with racism.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

I loved the part where he called for an end to the investigation into him and his administration...same thing the President did 45 years ago.

I really loved that all the whiteys cheered more for themselves than for the war veterans and the kid that beat cancer.

I watched about a minute clip of highlights if it on CNN online and clicked the browser closed.  That was all I needed to see.
