Let's roll.
LOL. Hit that this month already.
I love this man!
Dad’s on his third wife. This was a poignant tribute and very honoring and from his heart and the Republicans’ hearts.
F Rats. F them all.
What can the opposition party say against this speech?
The opposition media will come up with something to oppose or say negative about this speech but they are going to be pulling teeth. Sour grapes, poor losers whatever, they cannot argue such a patriotic speech.
Trump, you magnificent Bastard! You are doing awesome.
Just don’t forget who wins best picture...
Geez, this train is building steam and leaving the station while the dems in the peanut gallery are to stupid to get on board.
This is what some of us saw when he first announced. This is America.
Exactly! The emotional card that republican s NEVER did before!
How do democrats NOT stand up when Trump says he doesn’t represent the world but the United States?
That was another homerun and a major slap down to globalists, hellary and obeyme.
Somebody slap Graham and wake his ass up.
“My screen went all blurry”
Mine too. Dammit I hate it when that happens!
There are so many times I move the mouse to click "like" and then remember there isn't one. :)
In memorium of the late, great Justice Antonin Scalia:
Jan. 21, 2015
President Barack Obama gave his State of the Union address Tuesday night, and three of the Supreme Court’s conservative justices were notably absent.
Justice Clarence Thomas has said he doesn’t attend the annual event because it’s partisan, while Justice Antonin Scalia thinks it’s a “childish spectacle,” as Time notes.
For his part, Justice Samuel Alito explained in a candid interview with The American Spectator last year that he thinks it’s “strange” to go to the State of the Union as a justice when “we sit there like potted plants.” In that interview, Alito said he was done making appearances at the State of the Union address.
The last time Alito attended the State of the Union, in 2010, the justice famously shook his head and said “not true” when President Obama attacked the court’s decision in the case Citizens United v. FEC, which opened the door for corporations to spend as much as they’d like on indirect political-campaign contributions.
Obama said that decision would “open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign companies — to spend without limit in our elections,” prompting the uncomfortable reaction from Alito.
It’s clear why Alito wouldn’t want to sit through that particular State of the Union, in which the president of the United States openly criticized the Supreme Court. But Alito implied in his American Spectator interview that there are other reasons why he stopped going to the addresses. From the Spectator:
“It’s very strange to go as a justice,” he tells me. “We sit there like potted plants. People who watch on television have no idea what’s really happening on the floor. There’s a lot of back and forth between the Democrats and the Republicans. They keep up a running commentary on what the president is saying. Some of it is pretty sharp. None of that is ever picked up because it’s Congress’s home turf. There are boom mikes around, so I think they could probably pick up these comments if they wanted to, but I guess that’s off limits.
“We sit there and the president will say something and members of the president’s party will stand up and start applauding. Members of the other party often will not. But every once in a while the president will say something that is nonpartisan. ‘The United States is a great country.’ ‘We support our men and women in uniform.’ Then everyone’s applauding and standing. We look foolish sitting there, so we stand up and start to applaud. And then we’ll get faked out. The president will get say, ‘This is a great country’—and everyone will stand up and start to applaud—‘because we’re gonna do this, we’re gonna enact this legislation.’ It’s a very odd experience.”

About half the officers sat on their hands, dissing a fallen soldier. Outrageous.
Al Franken looks like he dirtied his pants.
Speaking of our 250th anniversary as a nation now again, closing it up...
