This section of the speech is not about North Korea's nuclear arsenal. It is about demonizing the (genuinely awful) North Korean regime, about framing them as anti-Christian, in the way presidents do when they are preparing the country for war.

This is scary.

I would expect the editor of Vox to be askeered.

President Trump: "Capitol, a Living Monument."   Oh, my goodness, some seats got unglued.  Pelosi and Chuckie cannot control their people.

Awesome SOTU!  Trump aced it.  Very powerful and impressive speech. 
Kudos to Trump and the GOP.

The best thing Trump can do now is out this speech on repeat and copy it from now on. Very different and a huge improvement. Let's just hope he doesn't sabotage himself like he has done in the past when he has a good moment like tonight.

This is scary.

Yeah - that was foolishness. How about not putting a pricetag on the promise to support infrastructure works?

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

The Trump administration told us not to expect much new policy, but I'm still surprised by the total absence of new policy. They've been in office one year, they're polling below 40%, and the GOP Congress may be finished by the next SOTU. How are they already so low on ideas?
