"Democratic lawmakers, and some men too, show off their ensembles for tonight's State of the Union speech as they show their support for the 'Me Too' movement. President Trump was previously accused of sexual assault"

Looks like they are going to a funeral...

He'll knock it out of the park like he did a year ago followed promptly by the release of the Memo (another nothing burger), then quickly step on his d*ck with some stupid tweet, putting all this into the irrelevant category rather quickly. He's his own worse enemy, still.

First Lady is with the Military? That is really nice. I like it.

Is something amiss? I hope not. This coup thing is pretty spooky.

We'll see ... it depends on the stance he takes on DACA, amnesty and the wall. If he doesn't do what he's promised his supporters, the DEMS will be jumping for joy!

That's my fear. Whenever he does something good or is on top of the situation, he always does something to sabotage himself- often on Twitter. He changes the winning narrative, changes focus, and basically takes a steamer on his success. We see this time and time again.

??? Did I miss a post? Didn't know that FLOTUS was with the military ... and yes I believe we are witnessing an attempted coup ... and yes it is very scary.

I heard it on Fox. I hope I misheard. Secret Service does not give her enough protection. Might be the reason she did not go to Davos. But our Military will protect the President and his family. I am sure of that.

Yeah! But Ruthie had made her plans for this date known in August. Whatever that means.

Maybe he'll expound on that $1.7T Infrastructure package he's got planned. I was under the impression we were broke.

IIRC, that's all levels of government and over ten years. And spending on infrastructure will be done in any case.

It would be nice to have an account of the trillion Obama spent on infrastructure before we entrust them with trillions more.

Beautiful, as usual. I only see one member of the Military next to her. Looks like his wife has a little turkey in the oven. The rest of the Trump family are on the other side of her.

@libertybele

She has Military behind her, too. But I think she had a little party for them earlier.

Even though its been eight years since I've heard journalists couch it in these terms, I'm already tired of all the talk of reaching across the aisle.

Just lead.

Probably.

But I'm eternally hopeful that he'll learn to avoid the latter.
