"Fully fund our Military."  President Trump

Still no standing on the Democratic side of the aisle.  Have they been glued to their chairs?  What a total joke!

They are committing mass suicide politically speaking.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Finally got unglued for their chairs for Staff Sgt. who saved the life of one of his own.  It was very difficult.  Opening a hole for the trachia while giving him heart compression for 20 minutes.  His fellow man lived!!!

Thank you!  I was starting to get weepy...

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!

This speech represents the presidential performance that Trump observers have been waiting for – brilliant mix of numbers and stories, humility and aggressiveness, traditional conservatism and political populism.

Only one word qualifies: Wow.

Trump spun his wheels a bit in his first year, but he's hitting his stride now.

"Otto's" parents sitting next to the Staff Sgt.  Soooooo sad.  North Korea killed him then sent him home to finally die two days later.

I dunno... I'd still like him to say (just before finishing with something uplifting)...

"For those of you watching at home, I have a simple question: has everything I've said been completely unreasonable? Has there been anything I've said with which you agree? 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? I invite you to get active at the grassroots level. Put the collective boot of your citizenship in the pants of those that simply cannot agree with ANY of what I have said."

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.

Well done, President Trump. So many moving stories.

The dimocraps look like petulant children. How are they going to spin this negatively- oh I know they'll find a way.
Principles matter. Words matter.
