Here’s a thread for Trump’s talk this evening
Trump will be addressing Congress this evening, although it’s not a State of the Union Address.
The Democrats are trying to figure out how to protest. More here.
And here’s a thread for discussing it.
The New Neo
A blog about political change, among other things
So is it a State of the Onion speech, to leave the Democrats in tears?
state of the clownion,
Anticipating.
I hope for three things.
1. He will explain clearly his tariff policy
2. He will explain clearly the deal he offered Ukraine.
3. He will not exaggerate so much that the Democrats and their media fact checkers will have a field day.
Well, let’s call this
3a. He will not hurt his shoulder patting himself on the back.
Oh. Oh.
3b. He will not call anyone names. even those who deserve to be called names.
Obviously, while I love what Trump is trying to do; I hate his tendency to bombastic rhetoric. On the other hand, I have noticed that Trump47 has toned that down somewhat and I am cautiously hopeful
The Democrats have already advertised their intention to make fools of themselves. Let them play that role.
Will the Democrats all be wearing their brand-new “We stand with Ukraine” T-shirts?
brand-new “We stand with Ukraine” T-shirts?
That are already out of date with Zelenskyy taking the knee. Hard to keep up these days.
Wow. Melania’s not doing her big brim Clint Eastwood thing tonight.
Radiant.
Rep. Al Green D-TX was standing up, shouting and waving his cane, as Trump spoke.
After three warnings he was ejected. Great.
Al Green was quite low-class. I wonder if The Dem Party decides and selects some member to do these embarrassing things like Green’s display. Perhaps with a quid pro quo.
They brought the girl volleyball player who was injured by a trans player. That’s impactful, I hope.
I am glad you all are watching, so I won’t have too. Much obliged.
I have to say Trump is ripping the Democrats a new one. And they look pathetic. He’s going on a bit long, but it’s quite entertaining.
Oldflyer… you’re looking for clarity?
Not tonight brother… this is optics and POTUS Trump is wiping the floor with the Ds. Not much substance but there’s bound to be some beer under all that foam. 😉
3b. He will not call anyone names. even those who deserve to be called names. — Oldflyer
Oh, he called Sen. Warren Pocahontas! She smiled and clapped. I missed the exact context. The speech is much too long. I was planning on watching some post analysis talk, but my 70 year old attention span has been exceeded.
Trump announced it. Looks like Zelenskyy has caved. Ukraine will be back to negotiate “under Trump’s strong leadership…. Ready to sign the minerals agreement at any time.”
Well, they didn’t have a choice, really, but good.
