my wife brought me home a little something because she knew I'd have watched it and she knew I'd be depressed.
It seems to me that maybe the reason he stopped the stupid, goddam government shutdown was so he could have the prime time TV coverage.
As far as I'm concerned TRUMP 2020 has officially begun.
Count Machuki wrote:The very end was pretty excellent. Whoever wrote the closing act of that speech deserves a raise. Too bad ol' Doofus Trump was delivering it.
but he WAS delivering it, Blanche. okay, yeah, it's hard to say "I don't like hearing calls for unity" but it's easy to say I don't believe a word of it.
I mean, calls for unity when an hour earlier he was slamming "partisan investigations" as being
bad for the economy? his use of the word "socialism" was clearly meant to conflate the political disaster in Venezuela to factions within the Democratic party. unity my BALLS. He didn't even mention the damned shutdown but his language on his "wall" (if it's still a wall) makes it clear that he expects a "win" in this fight and he doesn't exactly exude an air of diplomatic flexibiltiy.
the whole speech made my brain hurt. he said we need to end foreign wars then sabre rattles Iran, brags of intervention & ending arms agreements. He threw ALL that red meat to the base about the rampaging hordes streaming over the border to kill us then...
makes a room full of Republicans stand up and cheer for...
curing Cancer in children! AIDS research! protecting people's insurance for preexisiting conditions!!! I could hear old white people all over America go "hmmmmm, maybe this guy ain't so bad after all" when the fact of the matter is that he's worse than ever.
saying you're for party unity is easy to SAY. Next time he does a jackass partisan thing and I gripe about it - I know exactly who is going to reprimand me for it. "but, you heard him! he SAID he was for party unity" I'm the bad guy. I must be a socialist. I must want evil women to tear their babies from their wombs minutes before they are born.
All I'm saying is that this is not the language of Unity.
Things are going to get ugly, man. when I hear what sounds like chanting football hooligans at a State of the Union - it makes me uneasy.
uggy poopy doody.
