Worst SOTU Ever: Watch Live as the Trump-Thing Boasts and Lies, or Just Hang Out With the Best Commenters on the Web

Well, here we are at a place I never thought we’d be: Donald Trump, the racist Birther crook, giving a State of the Union address. It hurts me to even type those words.

You don’t have to watch, but here’s a thread to discuss, vent and commiserate over this nightmarishly destructive administration, one year on.

Here’s a sensible reason for the Trump administration to decline the loan of the gold toilet named “America” from the Guggenheim last week.

Trump shitting all over America was already scheduled for today at 9 PM Eastern time, so it would be redundant.

Regarding the OP, this will be the worst SOTU ever only if Trump is out of office before next January. We can be sure that the longer Trump remains in office, the worse it will get along every conceivable dimension.

And here go the pundits talking about how Trump needs to act presidential and needs Democrats to further his agenda.

Right. Trump’s agenda has nothing to do with Democrats. The GOP controls Congress, and nothing gets done without their buy-in, and so far the only thing the GOP has agreed to do is enable Trump criminality and the Trump conspiracy against the US.

That’s a rather lackluster entry in to the chamber.

Trump taking credit for the Obama-inherited economy. Tax cuts that have predominantly gone to the rich and Fortune 500 companies have indicated that wages aren’t going to go up. It’s all about pushing more wealth to millionaires and shareholders.

All these tax cuts he’s talking about are going to be phased out in a few years. The GOP tax scam for corporations is permanent.

Starting this January, the tax system just got a lot more complex.

Posted at the end of the last thread because I failed to keep up.

Poland and Israel are in a spat over Poland’s 2018 amendment to its Holocaust law.
The amendment passed the Sejm a couple days ago and has moved on to the Polish Senate.
The amendment would criminalise (except for artistic, historic, or scientific work) using terms similar to “Polish death camps” to refer to the German Nazi regime’s death camps built in Poland or other Nazi crimes committed on Polish soil while Poland was under occupation.
Israel and (some) American Jewish groups are condemning the bill, claiming that many Polish people were complicit in Nazi Germany’s crimes. Yad Vashem also condemns the amendment.
Poland for many years has argued that Nazi Germany was the real actor and pushes back any time it sees “Polish Death Camp” in a news outlet or government document.
Poland notes that while the phrase is geographically correct (they were situated in Poland), the phrase is a slander on Poland and gives Holocaust deniers ammunition (see Germany didn’t do it, Poland did).
As part of a strategy of education, Radio Poland has set up an information Website on German death camps. They have an article about it:
thenews.pl (in English)
Complicating matters, amongst the Righteous Amongst the Nations listed at Yad Vashem, Poles outnumber people from any other country.

Yes. This is a rhetorical question.

After reading the story linked by a liberal Christian friend of mine (yes, they do exist!), where a Palestinian man is being deported after living 38 years in this country because ICE determined his marriage “was a sham”, I have zero tolerance for the anti-immigrant sentiment at all. If you say one word about “immigrants” and “terrorism”, Imma go medieval on your ass.

Schumer and the Democrats didn’t make DACA a political football. Republicans did. Democrats didn’t hold CHIP hostage. Republicans did.

Democrats yelling at Democrats is one of the things killing the party. Because yelling them when they are out of power eventually turns to despair, which ultimately leads to Republicans winning.

As for the showdown, you’ve seen the report that shows Red State Democrats are dealing with constituents that will blame the Democrats for the showdown, something like 48 to 36%, right? Is that something to be angry at the Democrats about, or Republicans.

Okay, the military special guest thing is getting out of control…and I’m saying that as a veteran.

Had I been invited (bwahahaha) I would have refused.

I get an invitation every year from my state governor to go to the annual Governor’s Ball as a Gold Star Family member and disabled veteran. I refuse (politely).

Meaningless babble from Trump about foreign aid - countries that voted against the US over this are among our allies - that includes strategic partners in fight against IS.

Heinz Jakob “Coco” Schumann (born May 14, 1924) was a German jazz musician and Holocaust survivor. He became a member of the Ghetto Swingers while transported to Theresienstadt at the age of nineteen. In the aftermath of the Holocaust, Schumann performed as a jazz guitarist, performing with Marlene Dietrich, Ella Fitzgerald, and Helmut Zacharias…

Coco Schumann died in Berlin on January 28, 2018 at the age of 93.

So, he’s telling Congress to cede their Constitutionally delegated powers to the Executive Branch.

I’d rate the speech as wide but as shallow as a pizza tin. Also, meatless. One of his campaign speeches, cleaned up for TV. Empty, vacuous, inspirational to the base and almost completely without policy specifics or nuance. No “there” there.

In other words, exactly what we expected, but with added bile for brown people..
