President Trumps first speech to a joint session of Congress had a lot that angered Democrats, but there was at least one powerful moment that left everyone stunned, including his critics.
President Trump recognized the sacrifice of Carryn Owens, the widow of the Navy SEAL that was killed during (the Yemen raid) weeks into his presidency. The applause was the longest of the entire night, and thundered through the chamber.
We are joined tonight by Carryn Owens, Trump said, the widow of U.S. Navy Special Operator Senior Chief William Ryan Owens. Ryan died as he lived a warrior and a hero, battling against terrorism and securing our nation.
The Congress applauded for a long time in her honor.
I just spoke to our great General Mattis just now, Trumpm continued, who reconfirmed that, and I quote, Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemy. Ryans legacy is etched into eternity.

So some of those ladies were wearing white jackets - what look like white lab coats - over their regular clothes.
It reminds me of Obama’s meeting at the White House. The physicians were given white jackets to wear for the photo op.
The same Beck blog that said Trump was sure to push amnesty yesterday.
Co-exist? Make sure that they know they’re irrelevant and remind them of it daily. :=)
I believe McCain was the son of an Admiral.
Sort of like Al Gore son of politician.
Rhetorical question: How does one co-exist with such vile people?
***************
Its not rhetorical; its a sociological reality. Liberals don’t think. They emote. You simply cannot co-exist with people who willfully disregard facts, logic or the lessons of history. When liberals ask for bi-partisanship, what they really mean is “Let’s do it our way”. There is no compromising with people like that.
Republicans just can’t seem to ever accept this reality. You can’t reach out to them; make them reach out to you. Democrats only give in when they have no other alternative.
What do those stupid blue buttons say on them? Anyone know?
Has anyone identified those two women? That should be made into a campaign ad for those challenging them
“What do those stupid blue buttons say on them?”
I’m with stupid
# protectourcare - that’s what the blue buttons had printed on them
“Ryan died as he lived a warrior and a hero”
Trying to imagine Obama saying something like this. Can’t do it.
I smell mayo.
Another prank a wet start by McCain caused the explosion on the Forrestal. He was and is the walking definition of poor judgment. If he hadn’t been the son of an admiral he would have been drummed out of the Navy early on.
In the words of another FReeper on a different thread:
“McCain isn’t a hero; he’s a bad pilot.”
Maybe:

I’m sure it will come out soon.
It's a "look", popularized by Rachel Dolezal. Clearly it's not for everyone (or IMHO, anyone).
Okay, I’m pretty sure one of them is: http://www.stanforddaily.com/2015/11/11/congresswoman-jackie-speier-speaks-at-student-congressional-summit-on-sexual-assault/
And the other one is Judy Chu: https://chu.house.gov/
