“State of the Union” Open Thread

by — ,

6:05: Here we go!

6:06: Prepare for an onslaught of lies, lies, lies, lieslies.

6:07: There is a small crowd here at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern for Drinking Liberally.

6:08: Why is Melanie wearing pajamas.

6:10: He has said absolutely nothing so far.

6:11: Wait…”The Great Crusade” wasn’t the liberation of Europe! He is basically feeding his base with anti-Islamic dog whistles.

6:19: The economy is good. That’s because Trump inherited the Obama recovery, and he hasn’t totally fucked it up. Yet.

6:22: What companies have come back to the U.S. as a result of the G.O.P. tax scam?

6:23: The U.S. is a net exporter of energy. But that was achieved under Obama. “Thanks Obama!”

6:29: I hate these fucking anecdotes. For every Alice there is a Joe Arpaio, so fuck off, Drumpf.

6:32: Here comes the bullshit “dangerous southern border” part of the speech.

6:33: “Caravans of refugees are coming!!!!!11!1!!1!” When, exactly, did Republicans become such fucking cowards?

6:37: Human traffickers, MS 13, and caravans, OH MY!

6:42: Let’s see…Drumpf says 300 girls rescued from 1000 pimps!?! That is a very large pimp to girl ratio!

6:45: Drumpf describes his wonderful “barrier”. Did he get some funding from Mexico yet?

6:46: “Walls work and walls save lives”. That should convince the Mexicans.

6:48: “More women serving in Congress than anytime before.” Drumpf does get sine credit for that, but not how he thinks!

6:50: “First ever program focusing on economic empowerment for women in developing countries.” Bullshit. Obama and Clinton had such programs. Hell, Shrub probably did as well.

6:52: USMCS is pretty much a slightly modernized NAFTA.

6:56: Drumpf declares a war on “global freeloading”.

7:01: Drumpf is all about paid family leave. We’ll see how long that lasts.

7:06: Yay for more nuclear weapons! “Mush Room Cloud! Mush Room Cloud!”

7:16: Drumpf says “radical regime of Iran” as if he is trying to convince people (and himself) it is true.

7:23: The State of Our Union is 75 years ago.

7:29: Drumpf gives a stirring speech asking us to chose greatness. Tomorrow he will Tweet something about “Cryin’ Chuck”.

7:40: Ummm…happy lunar new year?

    He just introduced the “First Lady of the United States.” I didn’t know we had one. You never see or hear about her.

  4. 4

    Now he’s labeling his agenda “bipartisan.” So much “winning for our country.”

  5. 5

    Parade of heroes. Maybe he hopes some of their courage and devotion to duty will rub off on him. He sure didn’t have any when it was his turn.

    Here comes the braggadocio. Did he just say 5 million people have been kicked off food stamps? Something like that.

  8. 8

    Here comes the rant against “investigations,” followed by a rant against “nominees stuck in the Senate for years.” Whose nominees? Obama’s? GOP hypocrisy on full display.

    Now he’s taking credit for all the women in Congress. He simply forgot to mention which party they’re from. Didn’t say anything about the Equal Rights Amendment, either.

    Just your average Kennedy campaign. Any of them.

    Liz Warren claimed to be American Indian when she applied for admission to the Texas Bar.

    Although I’ve heard worse. Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit claimed to be an attorney.

    The Democrats’ plan for “getting behind childhood cancer” is aborting them as soon as they begin breathing voluntarily post-parturition.

    The obligatory tearjerkers. When’s he gonna introduce the illegal who was fired from his golf club last week after working there for 10 years? She’s there.

  16. 16

    Now he’s reaching out to the governor of Virginia for bipartisanship …

    … followed by the religious appeal, which sounds weird coming from an immoral, irreligious man like him.

    And now for something completely different

    ‘I trusted you!’ Trump voters seethe after realizing they’re getting screwed by the GOP’s tax planhttps://www.rawstory.com/2019/02/trusted-trump-voters-seethe-realizing-theyre-getting-screwed-gops-tax-plan/

    Destroying families- OK.
    Locking kids in cages- sure.
    Sexual assaulter on the Supreme Court- Yay!
    Destroy the environment- About time!
    Take my tax money- Wait, what?

    Everybody calm down, the billionaires will do just fine and the trickle down will make up for any shortfall you will experience.

    “We must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution, and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise and the common good,” Trump said in his State of the Union address.
    Pelosi then stood and clapped, aiming her applause at Trump.

    I look forward to the trump sea change and him cooperating with the Democratic Party.

    Fugelsang …
    Trump just said “We will never be a Socialist country”
    in a taxpayer-funded building
    to a taxpayer funded Congress
    the heads of the greatest socialist-funded military the world’s ever known
    after giving $12 billion in socialism to farmers
    & demanding billions of $ for a socialist wall

    Ever notice that GOP calls for “bipartisanship” and “compromise” always boil down to “shut up and do what we want”?
    Yeah, I hope Democrats have learned and treat republicans as they have treated Democrats

    I have often heard it said that no other country would DARE attack the US simply because they are aware that most Americans have access to guns at their houses. BTW, it is also interesting that every Swiss male is required, yes, required, to have a gun at the ready in their homes. They haven’t been attacked either; and not because ADOLF didn’t like cheese!

    27,
    Nobody anywhere holds onto a grudge like a member of Congress.
    Tracking and measuring personal and political loyalty is their life blood. But for pols not term limited it has to be done with discretion.

    For President GolfNap’s first two years he was insulated from all that by disciplined majorities in both chambers fiercely in pursuit of billionaire tax cuts and FedSoc court packing. Consequently he spent most of those two years blundering through his “unstructured” daily schedule insulting and degrading the hill lifers and shrugging off policy slights by his cabinet appointees.

    Members from both sides of the aisles have waited patiently for this moment.

    “I never think it’s a mistake to stand up for what you believe in”

    You got that right you mother fucker, including standing up to you, you fucking asshole!

    If the current rate holds by the end of his four year term President Very Stable Genius will have spent one quarter of his time in office lounging and playing at one of his golf resorts. That’s one whole year out of four.

    Re @ 33

    Those are not the heads of Americans, free or enslaved. They are Maori tribesmen (NZ) and those severed heads were removed following natural death and preserved as an honor to the surviving family. They are housed in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where they can be misconstrued by West Virginians and Seattleites alike.

    Now do the stock market at the end of four years.

    New job creation at the end of four years.

    How about comparing DJIA point increase per round of golf for each president?

    Fun fact: Eisenhower played 800 rounds of golf as president. Two rounds a week, each and every week on average, for eight years. Last I heard the ’50s weren’t such a bad period once the Korean War ended.

    I wanna know what AOC did during her kindergarten years.

    RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Another top Virginia Democrat has admitted to wearing blackface decades ago. Attorney General Mark Herring issued a statement Wednesday saying he wore brown makeup and a wig in 1980 to look like a black rapper during a party as an undergraduate at the University of Virginia.

    https://www.marketwatch.com/story/virginias-attorney-general-says-he-wore-blackface-at-college-party-2019-02-06?mod=bnbh

    I mean, that’s where this is going, amirite? We’re looking at high school yearbooks now. In another 10-12 years we’ll find out that when she was six years old AOC punched a black kid in the nose and used a racial slur she learned from her next door neighbor. She must be taken down for this.

    Do we think that Liz Warren’s family scalped white people?

    Being an American Indian and all, she might have heard stories like that told in her Oklahoma kitchen while her mother was cutting the crust off of her Wonder Bread sandwich.

    I mean, I’m sure it was family lore that led this grown, educated white woman to refer to herself as American Indian on her Texas State Bar license application in 1986.

    Time for another video, Liz. This time don’t refer to it as beer. It’s Fire Water. A 0.0976% solution.

    No need to apologize for anything done in your high school years….you know – yelling out fagot, wearing blackface – it’s all good.

    Ok – how many here wore blackface or seen someone where blackface in person? And how many here have heard the use of the N word or faggot or homo. I rest my case, how much apologizing for blackface of the yester years is necessary….kids will be kids.

  50. 50

    @49.
    No. No. No. Yes. Yes.
    Black face or using the N word was something only done by racist low class people you didn’t want associate with in the 1970s where I grew up in southern Oregon.
    If a person felt like that, they did the proper thing and kept it to themselves and only talked/acted that way during their hidden Klan meetings.

  51. 51

    @45. Spin Spin Spin. Gudwad, While you got most of them, you did miss a few racist Native American memes I have seen go by on the donald.
    Another powerful woman that terrifies Gudwad so he’s doing his part to make himself feel better by trying to attack her character.
    “my behavior is validated by the other side’s behavior.”… So you routinely say “Fuck that bitch.” and think that’s a valid thing to do?

    @ 48

    In which a heretofore semi-intelligent HA spewer compares the maturity of high school boys to that of Virginia’s Lt. Governor.

    Doesn’t do the latter any favors, but then neither did Trump’s little penis. Because he’s absolutely right – what the Lt. Governor said was sophormoric and unbecoming of someone only one small step from the state’s highest elected office.

    “They are Maori tribesmen”

    Oh sweet baby jeebus, not this again.

    Teh Dumbfuck, just how plain does it all have to be made to you???

    Nobody not crippled by the years of motherly neglect and fatherly mockery you endured would ever bother to compare “intelligence” with someone dumb enough to trade 24 years of devoted, disciplined study for 80 hour weeks sniffing bum scrote for less than minimum wage.

    Of course you retired “early”. It was either that or eat a bullet.
    Now all you have to do is figure out how to survive tying your self identity to a lazy, undisciplined, uneducated orange cheeseburger hole.
