Official State of the Union Thread

Here is a whole stadium of KKK folks...

high numbers and plenty of practice makes forms of Perfection, for guys.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I think it looked kind of like a KKK meeting just before they put their hoods on, then go out and lynch somebody. That was some bizarre shit there. WTF?

Clearly a stunt that wasn't nearly as effective as the idiots thought it would be.

I do not know about that, there are multiple threads on this one forum about it...clearly they got what they wanted...people to talk about it

Nobody cares what the fringe left thought about the speech......what matters is what the whole country thought.

Facts are what matter. Trump had none. He spouted lies and more lies.

I didn’t watch it. I never watch the SOTU. The POTUS always lies or misrepresents or embellishes during the speech.

I thought Obama lied more than most. Did Don lie more than O?

I watched it. I watch it just to see the pained faces on Dims faces. It cheers me up.

Anyway, he essentially gave a feel good speech about America regarding its accomplishments and role for keeping America free from all the tyrannical powers like Nazi Germany, and by the way, we need border security, and had an ICE officer stand up and be clapped for because he had caught drug dealers and human traffickers etc. He did not even give much on any facts to argue about and even had the Dims standing up and clapping for such things as more women in Congress than at any other time in US history etc.

The clincher was though, when he talked about Venezuela and how it was oil rich and once the richest country in South American until socialism sunk it's wretched teeth into and destroyed it. Then he said that socialism must never come to the US, even Pelosi and Schumer stood up and clapped.

My jaw hit the ground when they did.

Hilarious.

I'm sure it made your day to see Nancy beside Pence instead of Ryan.

Not much difference. Ryan was an anti-Trumper as well. IMO

What kind of a person sees people wearing white and think KKK?

I just do not get it.

The kind of person that’s stupid enough to think the KKK is associated with anybody other than Republicans

 

[Votto]

Because Trump did not really give them any targets to rebut the speech, they ended up sounding like a droid NPC recording.

Again, Hilarious!

Do any of you conservatives bother to learn about things you try to talk about?

Do you have any knowledge of the history of our nation?

I swear it's just embarrassing how down right stupid and full of hate you are.

Here's a little history lesson. Pay attention:

At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century women stood up and demanded the right to vote. Conservative men of this nation fought their demands. Women protested. The conservative men put them in prison. Women lost their families, children, jobs their freedom and some even lost their lives in their suffrage to get the right to vote.

In 1920 on a hot August day women finally got that right to vote in all of the US.

Those women were wearing Suffrage White in respect towards all the women who suffered and gave up so much for us women to have the right to vote.

I understand why you don't know about this and make such ridiculous statements about it. You hate anyone who doesn't share your views so much that you have to make such hateful and ridiculous statements about women who are showing such respect for all those brave women who fought so long and hard for us to have the right to vote.

You and people like you disgust me.

Ah, yeah. Ok. That was a hundred years ago. So why were they wearing white? Was it to more easily spot the Socialists?

 

[rightwinger]

Trump's SOTU speech included a long list of lies and misrepresentations, and every fact checking source is busy sorting through them and presenting the facts to show just how wrong he was. I was particularly irked by his claim that El Paso was a very dangerous place, and that fence quickly turned it into one of the safest places in the US. El Paso was a very safe place long before any fence.

What do you think his biggest lies were?

I have only one question how many were so fastidious in fact check past presidents state of the Union address?

I know of many false statements made over the years. No one seemed so upset over them.

Every SOTU address is fact checked

I honestly think Trump breathed a sigh of relief when Ryan left. After all, you would rather fight the opposing party than create a Civil war within your own.

Going head to head with crazy train Pelosi will then be fodder for the 2020 elections.

Mr. Trump said that America is the largest crude oil producer in the world and that production has hit a record high.

This is true.

The United States has been the largest producer of oil and gas in the world since 2013, a trend that began under the Obama administration thanks in large part to advances in shale drilling techniques.

Mr. Trump claimed nearly 5 million people have been lifted off food stamps.

This is exaggerated.

The number of Americans in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program decreased by more than 3.5 million between February 2017 — Mr. Trump’s first full month in office — to September 2018, according to the latest available data. By comparison, the number of people receiving the aid decreased by 5 million from June 2015 to January 2017.

Mr. Trump said that Ralph Northam, the embattled governor of Virginia, said he would execute a baby after it was born.

This is false.

In an interview last month, Governor Northam said that he supported a late-term abortion bill that would loosen restrictions on the procedure, and allow women to consult with a doctor on an abortion up to, but not including, the time of birth.

The governor, a pediatric neurologist, also talked about some of the dangerous medical emergencies that pregnant women could face, such as carrying a nonviable fetus. He said that in such a case, the mother would deliver the infant and then, “the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” While Mr. Northam was talking about an end-of-life care discussion in the case of a child that would not live, Republicans seized on his remarks as evidence that Mr. Northam supported killing babies after their birth.

Mr. Trump said his administration is holding talks with several groups in Afghanistan, including the Taliban.

This is true.

Mr. Trump said that American forces last month killed one of the leaders of the 2000 bombing of the naval destroyer Cole.

This is true.

Mr. Trump said that American troops have been “fighting in the Middle East for almost 19 years.”

This is false.

American troops deployed to Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001, to begin Operation Enduring Freedom — the American military and NATO mission to rid Afghanistan of Al Qaeda. But Afghanistan is not technically considered part of the Middle East — it is in southwest Asia. The United States invaded Iraq, which is in the Middle East, in March 2003 — nearly 16 years ago.

Mr. Trump said that lawmakers in New York cheered the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments before birth.

This is misleading.

On Jan. 22, the 46th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat of New York, signed the Reproductive Health Act, which ensures a woman’s right to an abortion in New York if Roe v. Wade were to be overturned. It does not broadly allow abortions until shortly before birth, as Mr. Trump suggested. Instead, it will allow for an abortion after 24 weeks to protect the mother’s health or if the fetus is not viable. Under the prior law, abortions were allowed after 24 weeks only if the woman’s life was in jeopardy.

WE 'WILL NEVER BE SOCIALIST'

Trump vows to reject far-left economics and call to become a Socialist Nation in the SotU Speech, as key Socialist Democrats who have hijacked the Democratic party sat watching 'stone-faced'


One of the most powerful moments in the SotU Speech was when the President brought up how the history of Socialism and the current collapse of Socialist Venezuela - once the richest country in South America - reminds us the self-destructive lesson of embracing Socialism, despite how many times oppressive governments and dictators arrogantly declared, in the past 'Yes, but that won't happen to us.'

President Trump vowed that 'tonight' the United States was re-committing itself to liberty, freedom, and democracy on which our Founding Fathers built this nation. He then declared, 'We will NEVER be a Socialist Nation'.

In that moment the chamber erupted with applause and chants of 'USA, USA, USA', as even Democrats rose to their feet clapping...except for the Democratic party's 2 most extreme Socialists - D-Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and D-NY Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Even Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer rose to their feet in applause at the President's declaration.

CBS's Poll shows 76% approved of the President's Speech. Even CNN's own poll showed the majority of the country (59%) rated his speech as 'VERY Positive'. (Now we know why Pelosi tried to stop the SotU Speech and did not want the President to speak to the country.)

I have a suggestion for D-Socialist Sanders & D-Socialist Ocasio-Cortez:

If they truly believe that Socialism is the way to go and they have the blueprint for a better Socialism than Venezuela had, one that will succeed where they failed, why don't they go to Venezuela and pitch / implement their ideas. After they turn the country around and succeed they can bring their victorious brand of Socialism back to the United States for us all to embrace......

OH WAIT - that won't work. Venezuela just kicked their failed socialist regime / dictator out of power and turned their back on historically proven failed Socialism. That's why Sanders and Ocasio-Cotez stay here, trying to convince those who have never experienced Socialism and the collapse of a country due to it 1st-hand.


Error | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

Funny coming from the guy that redistributed 32 billion dollars to the farmers last year. Is that not a Socialist act?

No, that's charity and compassion. Socialism is when you want to raise the national debt $7 trillion for some hare-brained "New Green Deal."
