JoJo from Jerz called Trump's SOTU 'grievance karaoke'. Sounds about right. Also, Trump looked like hell - tired, drawn, griping that podium like a drowning man. Everyone could see that standing that long trying to project the old Trump persona was too much of a strain on a clearly ill, debilitated old man.
This is a much more credible summary than what was described by most legacy media outlets. Among other things, they described him as “restrained.” In fact, what I saw, as a mental health professional, was a tired, demented old man struggling to read from a teleprompter. I’m tired of the sane washing.
The next Democratic president can reset the SOFU tradition by foregoing a speech and submitting a letter to Congress. This could remove the tension inherent in the current approach, adhere to the Constitution, place the onus of challenging the president onto the Republican leadership and not individual legislators, and signal a new approach to political dialogue. Outright lying and adolescent behavior is not acceptable.
I don’t know when the maggots will wake up, but he just promises the moon. He did it when he’s running as a candidate and he’s still doing it and then, he does nothing except line his pockets that’s it. It’s the same story every time and yet they still buy his shit.
The GOP, who hug morality like it was their virgin sister, yet bugger the nation. Morality is just a word to the GOP, same as right to life. Dignity of life is totally anathema to them; they love to see others suffer as the sip their champagne and enjoy their caviar, tax payer furnished, of course.
Trump bragged about 'lifting' over 2 million off of food stamps. The problem is, throwing hungry people off food stamps doesn't make the issue go away, nor provide them with a means of earning enough to feed and house their families. But they'll rush out to embrace another tax cut for the multi-billionaires so they can afford a twelfth home, often or not somewhere not in America, so they can enjoy the 'good life' as the life of the average American slides further down the scales.
Anyone who expected an ounce of truth from President Pants on Fire were deluding themselves, yet many of his loyalists thought they heard truth. Until we get reality, truth, and honesty back onto the front burner of the American psyche, we're going to continue to slide. But the MSM is fearful of a loss of profits, and seem quite willing to parrot easily provable false talking points to the masses. I can remember a time when being a liar was a claim to shame. Now far too many embrace lying, not just 'alternative facts' as an 'understandable' practice in life to get ahead.

I was hoping he'd drop dead on live TV. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow.
