The Storm Over The Capitol, Washington, DC
There goes the impeachment drive.....
If you want to know what is wrong with Adam Schiff just look at his eyes sometimes. No telling what he is on but it has to be really heavy duty stuff.
The Dems were going to a funeral - their own party...
Interesting I had to look that up
Perfect example.
You might find this link interesting. The actual General Order 49.
This was The Donald of the campaign rallies, multiplied by the exponential factor of the Presidency.
Like the rallies, I sensed last night that, while ostensibly addressing the assembled Congress and guests, the REAL message was meant most specifically for everyone outside the DC swamp.
While most SOTU speeches may aim for that to one degree or another (and often fail on the sincerity meter), his performance with this one was no less than stellar.
Trusting the man is made SO much easier by the fact that he's NOT a career politician, but someone who's actually striven and succeeded in the real world.
Setting aside the expected enthusiasm from the (R) side of the aisle, the contrast between his vision and determination and the petty, classless, socialist Left couldn't have been more stark.
Their behavior was that of petulant children who, having been caught red-handed in their misdeeds, are stuck in that interim of horrible denial before being shamed into the truth.
Imagine having no applause to give to those amazing examples of courage and altruism invited to attend !
To say nothing of caring more for their little fiefdoms, and so little about their own constituencies, as to refuse to acknowledge this past year's outstanding improvements for same.
Tho at first hesitant to post and 'host' a live thread, it was an exhilarating evening and I'm grateful to all who participated on this thread.
Our President did our Nation proud, and judging by the few poll numbers I've seen this morning, that's a view shared by an overwhelming number of our fellow Americans.
As was so nicely stated in your post, it truly feels like we finally have 'one of us' in that job, and that he brings integrity to work with him every day.
And perhaps the very best part is yet to come - Now. About that memo..........
MAGA, FRiends !
He gains speed swimming upstream.
Thanks,I was not aware of that.

“Exactly the dems are sabotaging blacks by giving their jobs to illegals. Making sure the blacks have no where to go but back to the ghetto and we know what happens there.”
And then the Goebbel’s propaganda machine will spew that that’s because of white privilege racist Conservative Republican Fascism.
“purple ribbons
For opioid addiction. Not sure what that has to do with anything, but there you are.”
And it means that once again it is the Republican conservative fault that the addicts can’t use the 28 day rehab over and over and over and over again.
My grandfather who came from Palermo, had a shoe shop in upper Manhattan (Anselmo’s Shoe Repair), my mother used to go there on the weekends to straighten out because he was so busy during the week, no time for that......He use to fix Kim Novak’s shoes, her maid would bring them over to the shop.....I still have his shoe stretcher, works great!!!
And yet the (D)himmis wonder why they're hemorrhaging support.
Princess Faux was there
Killer salesmanship, while making the Dems squirm!
Compare last night’s Jan, 30, 2018 first SOTU Address by president Trump with President Reagan’s first SOTU Address 36 years ago on Jan 26, 1982.
Lots of similarities.
——Some excerpts from Trump’s speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATFwMO9CebA
“Less than one year has passed since I first stood at this podium, in this majestic chamber, to speak on behalf of the American people and to address their concerns, their hopes, and their dreams. That night, our new administration had already taken very swift action. A new tide of optimism was already sweeping across our land. Each day since, we have gone forward with a clear vision and a righteous mission, to make America great again for all Americans.
“the state of our union is strong, because our people are strong
“After years and years of wages stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages. Unemployment claims have hit a 45-year low. And something I am very proud of: African-American unemployment stands at the lowest rate ever recorded. And Hispanic-American unemployment has also reached the lowest levels in history. Small business confidence is at an all-time high. The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining a trillion dollars and more in value in just this short period of time.
“The great news for Americans: 401(k) retirement, pension, and college savings accounts have gone through the roof. And just as I promised the American people from this podium 11 months ago, we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history.
“In America, we know that faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, are the center of American life. The motto is, in God we trust.
“In our drive to make Washington accountable, we have eliminated more regulations in our first year than any administration in the history of our country.
“As we rebuild America’s strength and confidence at home, we are also restoring our strength and standing abroad.
“It was that same yearning for freedom that nearly 250 years ago gave birth to a special place called America. It was a small cluster of colonies caught between a great ocean and a vast wilderness. But it was home to an incredible people with a revolutionary idea: that they could rule themselves. That they could chart their own destiny. And that, together, they could light up the world.
“[O]ur nation will forever be safe and strong and proud and mighty and free. Thank you, and God bless America.”
——Some excerpts from Reagan’s speech (interesting to see almost no women in Congress and the overall demeanor seemed much calmer and dignified - “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was [] like the present period...”): https://www.c-span.org/video/?88293-1/1982-state-union-address
“I proposed a new spirit of partnership between this Congress and this administration and between Washington and our State and local governments. In forging this new partnership for America, we could achieve the oldest hopes of our Republic—prosperity for our nation, peace for the world, and the blessings of individual liberty for our children and, someday, for all of humanity.
“To understand the state of the Union, we must look not only at where we are and where we’re going but where we’ve been. The situation at this time last year was truly ominous.
“Together, we not only cut the increase in government spending nearly in half, we brought about the largest tax reductions and the most sweeping changes in our tax structure since the beginning of this century.
“Together, we have cut the growth of new Federal regulations nearly in half. In 1981 there were 23,000 fewer pages in the Federal Register, which lists new regulations, than there were in 1980.
“Together we have made a New Beginning, but we have only begun.
“[W]e’ve moved to reconstruct our national defenses. We intend to keep the peace. We will also keep our freedom.
“Let us so conduct ourselves that two centuries from now, another Congress and another President, meeting in this Chamber as we are meeting, will speak of us with pride, saying that we met the test and preserved for them in their day the sacred flame of liberty—this last, best hope of man on Earth. God bless you, and thank you.”
Excellent post. Thank you.
Great post. Trump is in great company. Trump’s speech was approved by 75% — an enormous margin ( when you see the hatred and lies of MSM) . I would hold the “memo” showing treason until the last minute so as not to step on the glow of this great SOTU. Go TRUMP!! AWESOME.
Please note that I am anti amnesty but if it is done properl, it will stop this insane illegal alien infestation in the future and I will suck it up butter cup. But if the Dems blow this offer then no amnesty.
Let me warn again that Schumer confirmed on Jan 23 that he has a deal with McConnell to just vote on DACA — nothing attached. Schumer is saying McConnell will “break his word” . McConnell hates Trump and does NOT want the WALL. I am convinced that deal was made because it has never been denied by McConnell. It was announced immediately after the deal to reopen the government was made by Schumer and never denied. If that happens — all hell breaks loose politically. The “deal” was — If no immigration deal by Feb 8 — the clean daca vote will be ordered by McDonnell”. watch very closely. McConnell would gut us any way he could in a New York minute.
