Official State of the Union Thread

You can read more if you like:

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.

Fact Checking the 2019 State of the Union Address
Lol Obama tried to stop the oil boom. I didn't read after that because of that lie.
Domestic oil production boomed under Obama
Sure, that's why gas was $4 a gallon for most of his presidency.

You think the POTUS controls the price of gasoline! :21::21::21::21::21::21:

Is there anything you statist will not give the government credit for?
They can by certain policies. Like when Bush stated he would open Alaska drilling. The price fell over night. But no the president really don't have control over prices.

Trivia question for you...

Did domestic oil production go up during the time Obama was POTUS?
 
Trump made the threat that unless he gets what he wants & end all investigations that he will not sign any legislation.
never heard him say that. hmmmmm you made up that up right?

Hhhhmmmmm....I guess you only recall what you want to hear...

Trump urges an end to 'partisan investigations' while touting bipartisan cooperation

But Nancy is not going to stop. The criminal regime will be exposed....

Mueller and his investigation are being conducted by the Republican Dept of Justice

Hardly partisan
Another lie,Mueller hates president Trump.

Yes, but not because he wanted it too.
 
Thread is open for discussion.
The Democrats were very restrained and respectful of the office last night. I did not hear a single "you lie" from Democrats, as a sorry Repubturd did to President Obama.
they didn't clap for country.Or for blacks.

Agreed. Which shows how little control the POTUS has on such things.
 
Socialism-

1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

2a : a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b : a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
Thank you for defining the direction in which the Democratic Party is trying to take our country.
 
Most of Trump's speech was the expected exaggerations , pompus ego , misleading facts.....and downright lies..>>>>

State of the Union Fact Check: What Trump Got Right and Wrong

~S~

Yep, but our righty friends saw the greatest speech by the greatest president ever. The jury is out on whether the speech itself, or their reaction to it, would constitute the clearest evidence for the currently festering American Disease.

Immigration

“The border city of El Paso, Tex., used to have extremely high rates of violent crime — one of the highest in the entire country, and considered one of our nation’s most dangerous cities. Now, immediately upon its building, with a powerful barrier in place, El Paso is one of the safest cities in our country.”
This is false.

El Paso was never one of the most dangerous cities in the United States, and crime has been declining in cities across the country — not just El Paso — for reasons that have nothing to do with border fencing. In 2008, before border barriers had been completed in El Paso, the city had the second-lowest violent crime rate among more than 20 similarly sized cities. In 2010, after the fencing went up, it held that place.​

The pompous, megalomaniac buffoon's mendacity, and his mean-spirited nativist hate fest, in all its putrid glory, and no amount of disingenuous sophistry will make that claim acceptable. Well, except for the xenophobes, nativists and racists who make up most of Trump's "base". They do love the things they... "see".
Taking your obvious hyperbole and malicious bias aside, El Paso back in 2008, before Obama and Sanctuary Cities, may have been a fairly safe place. But times have changed in the 10 years that passed since. The border situation has deteriorated in the last 6 years because of Democrats, who at one time supported a wall, but have now switched to encouraging illegals to enter the US in mass with new laws and open defiance to the rule of law with respect to the immigration problem. Back in those days (before Obama) illegals couldn't get free health care, welfare, and food stamps. Now Democrats are giving it to them in some states. This is human-trafficking.

Because of this total disregard for the law, large groups of criminals are mingling in with migrants, attempting to re-enter the US, in effect, hoping to get lost in the crowd. Thus, border crime statistics have skyrocketed in the last two or three years. Officials of the Border Patrol and Immigration Service tried pointing this out to Democrats, and of course they refused to show up for these briefings.
 
Democrats, unlike their uber-partisan and unAmerican counterparts on the right, are able to clap, and clap wholeheartedly for things the President with another letter behind his name than is behind their names.

So much so that even ze Trumpenfuher himself had to exclaim, "You weren't supposed to clap!"

You know why? Because they love America more than they love their party.

Yes, and they show their love for us every single day they fight the wall. Speaking of which......

Trump said we need to put Coyotes, drug smugglers and human traffickers out of business. Republicans stood up and applauded while Democrats just sat there. Gee, I wonder which side they are on? I guess my signature pretty much spells it out.

And what was Nancy doing with those big cards anyway? Looked like the bimbo was at a Bingo game for senior citizens. Did they have pictures for her to understand what was going on?
Most drugs come in at checkpoints inside legal items.

Everyone knows that.
How do you know that? If they come over the fence, under the fence, around the fence and aren't caught,
how can you quantify that?
You should say that most drugs are confiscated at the checkpoints.

Let's visualize this together:

"Hey, Pedro! Please put these 100 pounds of heroin under your clothes, and cross the border with it. When you get to Tucson, call this number, and meet Jose. Give the bags to him. In the meantime, don't drop them in the desert while walking the 100 miles to Tucson. Don't use the drugs yourself, or sell them for $100,000 and keep the money. In appreciation, Jose will buy you lunch at Taco Bell."
You're not near as sophisticated as the Cartels are you? I still stand by my premise as to quantifying the
amounts of drugs that cross the border other than the checkpoints. And you have done nothing but
create a very short story

Where has he ever said anything showing he hates President Trump

He has a job to do and is leaving no stone unturned
 
Yep, it's known, 60% of drugs come in between the ports of entry. That's according to DHS.

.

How do you know that? You have no idea how many illegal drugs are coming in or are even how many are here at any given time. I'm sorry but "it's known" is a pretty poor foundation to base such a statement. You're probably only talking about captured drugs. Apparently MORE are captured at a POE where there is a WALL with a DOOR in it.


What did I say, only about 40% are seized at the ports of entry in 2017, feel free to look it up, I've posted links before.

I spent seven weeks in El Paso last year
It is a military town with no rampant crime. I always felt perfectly safe
