For lurkers, a bit of info.

The SOTU is a Constitutional mandated speech.  Article 2 section 3:
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient...

The speech isn't mandated. Trump could write "Good" on a used cocktail napkin with a dirty fingernail and submit it to congress and that would suffice.

Yes, and until Woodrow Wilson, it was a simple affair and written down.  Thomas Jefferson reduced it to writing because appearing before the Congress with all the pomp and circumstance appeared too imperial for him.

The SOTU is not a mandated speech.  The President is mandated to give information from time to time to Congress.  It could just as legally be done by a written report.

True, I probably should have said report instead of speech. It doesn't say how often or what form. Tradition has made it this day each year except swearing in years.

Trump to call for 'new American moment'
By Jordan Fabian - 01/30/18 06:51 PM EST

President Trump will declare a “new American moment” during his State of the Union address Tuesday night, and call on both parties to work together to tackle the nation’s biggest problems.

“This is our new American moment,” Trump plans to say, according to excerpts released by the White House. “There has never been a better time to start living the American dream.”



Trump said Tuesday he is seeking to offer a message of unity to lawmakers and people around the country after his tumultuous first year in office.

The president plans to call on Congress to pass bipartisan fixes on immigration and start work on a massive infrastructure proposal.

“Tonight I am extending an open hand to work with members of both parties, Democrats and Republicans, to protect our citizens of every background, color and creed," he will say.

The president will also highlight his accomplishments, including passage of the “biggest tax cuts and reform in American history,” eliminating regulations, ending the “war on clean coal” and gains against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

“The coalition to defeat ISIS has liberated almost 100 percent of the territory once held by these killers in Iraq and Syria,” Trump plans to say. “But there is much more work to be done. We will continue our fight until ISIS is defeated.”

The president will also take a veiled shot at former President Obama’s approach toward fighting international terrorist groups.

“Past experience has taught us that complacency and concessions only invite aggression and provocation. I will not repeat the mistakes of the past administrations that got us into this dangerous position,” he will say.

I wonder how many times the GOP side of the aisle will get off their a$$es while applauding.

Mitch McConnell said that he's shocked with President Trump's 1st year....that it's the most Conservative-agenda driven administration he's seen in his 30 years in Washington.

And if there was a "shooting the moon" emoji, ya'll know who's getting a ping.    :laugh:

I'm hoping he's going to expound on that as well ... I'd love to know specifically and exactly what areas of the country does the infrastructure package involve.  Ya we're broke ...and I'd love to know specifically and exactly how we're going to pay for it.  You know darn well, he's going to be making a boat load of money off of this one. Let's see ... he's open to amnesty now and wants a slush fund for the border wall .... any guesses anyone?

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.

Why then has one side of the aisle sat stubbornly on their hands this entire speech? Ask yourself who is being wholly unreasonable - who is preventing crucial reforms from passing in Congress?

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.

NOT!!!  He was absolutely pitiful as he said absolutely nothing of substance.  Only one point came across very clearly ... my generation will tear down that wall!! 

Well... to me it is clear ... Trump is willing to grant amnesty to a select group...DEMS want more.  They do NOT want a wall and they do NOT want to end chain migration.   As expected.  IMHO, Trump made a huge mistake of offering any kind of amnesty.

As for Kennedy ... OMG ... I don't think I have EVER heard such a terrible speech given by someone who has no speaking appeal, whatsover. This is who the DEMS are counting on ... a Kennedy!!!! Buaaahhhhhaaa.... Seriously!

Teddy Roosevelt gave a speech with a bullet in him IIRC.

I didn't catch the speech except for a couple stops during commercials, but Hannity says he hit it out of the park so I will go with that.

BTW can anyone explain why the Kennedy child had some white substance glistening on his lips and was in front of a broke down car?

Dumbass Dana Perino said Kennedy broke the SOTU curse.  He gave a good speech.

Did she actually watch it?

It started badly, but someone shot out the applause light so they stopped interrupting him and it got more effective later.  Many will fall for the BS.

I have offered DACA a wonderful deal, including a doubling in the number of recipients & a twelve year pathway to citizenship, for two reasons: (1) Because the Republicans want to fix a long time terrible problem. (2) To show that Democrats do not want to solve DACA, only use it!

That's interesting. I swung by MSNBC and they said that Trump called for the gassing of all Jews and the lynching of all blacks by noon tomorrow.

FOX said this was the third longest SOTU ever.  Chris Wallace said it was too long and bellicose.  Juan Williams was utterly ridiculous with his gripes.  I was surprised as I enjoyed the whole thing and never once thought to myself, “Hurry up and end this.  Dunno how much more I can take.”, as I have in all other SOTUs I have watched.
I cannot and will not watch Chrissy or Juan Williams.

The speech was balanced.  He didn't spend an eternity on anything and he put those personal anecdotes in at exactly the right times.

Not automatic citizenship.  A path.  How rocky that path is we don't know.  And the dems will say no to everything ... we know that going in.

Then he’s going to pass what he can through reconciliation.  I’m hoping the offer goes back to the 800K that he campaigned on and rid of all the rest of it (chain migration, lottery, etc.)  Will have to see what the pubbies can agree.

Thanks for the fun read, folks. I didn’t watch last night because I couldn’t break training – in bed by 9, up at 5. I’ll watch it on YouTube later.

It’s a point of pride for Donald Trump to master new skills. Looks like he’s nearly mastered this presidency thingy.

Infrastructure. Trump has been everywhere and has seen the latest and finest infrastructure the world has to offer and too often those projects are not being built in America. It’s long overdue here. Our roads and bridges are old and crumbling.

It’s time the US recapture it’s reputation as a land of innovation with the latest and greatest stuff. I live in NYC, and that’s what we expect. Now is the perfect time. With a builder in the White House who is well acquainted with the cost of building – not the government inflated costs, but the actual costs, I’m confident taxpayers will get the biggest bang for their buck with Trump at the helm.

The state of the union is strong, and Paul Krugman is on suicide watch.

Thank you, President Trump!

    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.

You might as well ask Ed not to comb through the speech trying to find lies.

Remember, it was Obama who couldn't speak without a teleprompter, even to grade school kids.

Is there a closeup of his other side?  Did his head get cut off, and then reattached to another body, a la Frankenstein?  The Kennedys' have plenty of money for that sort of experimental surgery.  Look at what they did to his great aunt.  A lobotomy gone wrong!

We happen to know one who is 22 years old. She has now had her two anchor babies.  No marriage yet. 

She did come to the U.S. with her mamma when she was five years of age.

I have a difficult time talking to her.  She changes apartments, cell numbers/phones so frequently, I can't keep up.  My second question is always:  Are you married yet?  So far the answer has been, "No, but I am still in school."

I just look at the images of her two boys...

I know some as well.  Their families adored Obama and thought him to be Jesus Christ himself.  I’ll forego listing all the bennies they receive, but suffice it to say, it chaps my fanny.

Your mistake was not understanding who Trump is. He is a master showman. He would have pushed this memo out if the SOTU was a loser. Since it was a hit, he is going to let the MSM chat it up for as long as possible and then when it slows down dump this memo for another round of MSM frenzy. It's a thing of beauty.

Watching all the Dems, FBI, DOJ, et al scramble with any accusation they can muster has been a thing of beauty as well.  The American people aren’t always the brightest, but they can see that there is a good damned reason they don’t want this memo coming out.  Trump dragging it out may be driving us all crazy, but it sure is bringing the cockroaches out of the woodwork.  LOL

Without a doubt.  Those I know all work under the table making shockingly good wages, but not reported as income to continue getting those bennies.  They’re quite proud of outsmarting the system.

Three days late and a dollar short.

Was it you who said we would never see the "Memo"?

At least I posted to everyone I was incorrect at the time!  Did you?

Lighten up, Francis!

Me, too.  I know this non-marriage thing has been going on in California since the late 60s.  It was "white folks" then, too.
I really thought the mothers should have been embarrassed, but they were very proud of the benefits they received.  It was beyond my comprehension then as it is now.
