Trump speech

Obviously we're divided on this as a nation but Trump is putting on a solid speech. Most of the BS he's talking about won't get done because the system is broken but it's hard to argue with what he's saying.

The only part that makes my SMH is the majority of the Dems sitting in an obvious unsupport of this country as well as the police but quickly jump up when a minority is recognized in the crowd. LOL

Genuinely one of the most powerful moments I can remember from a presidential speech ...

I ended up watching most of this....and it's by far the most Presidential he's ever looked.

Republicans and Democrats are sharply divided when the POTUS spotlights victims of crime by illegal immigrants.

Democrats hate when Trump bashes Obamacare, but more Dems than GOPs like when he talks about covering preexisting conditions.

It was a well written speech. It's mostly BS but it sounded good.

On hard policy, Trump's plea to bring back jobs (end of clip) plays best to GOP and Democrat focus groupers.

Every time Trump speaks across racial or gender lines, Democrats focus groupers like it.

There is a path to bipartisanship.

My focus group is made up of 21 people.

6 of them feel better about Trump now than on Election Day; 8 feel worse.

If the President can stay off twitter for the next 24 hours, this speech will be agenda setting.

Amazing that once again words I never said are used, it's so much fun to try and have a discussion with people intent on making things up.

Well written speech but so many lofty promises that will never get fulfilled. Oh well, such is politics.

Interesting that Trump mentioned an infrastructure bill, Obama tried to pass such a bill repeatedly but the GOP blocked it from ever happening. I wonder if they'll pass an infrastructure bill now that a Republican President is in office? I mean everybody knows we need it but the GOP didn't want to give Obama credit for it. Makes sense that they would pass something similar now and reap the political rewards.

What did you disagree with that Trump said Nigel?

Did Trump take ownership of the botched Yemen raid? Or did he deflect yet again and blame Obama?

I've watched every one of these speeches since I was of voting age whether I voted for the guy or not. How can you have a political opinion without engaging in the political process? Odd.

Link to a transcript for those (like me) who missed it. I haven't read it yet, gotta go smoke a bowl first.

Trump is a fucking disaster and completely unfit to be President. If he goes unchecked this whole thing is going to end in some sort of a spectacular failure, hopefully in a fashion that doesn't put all of us and our children in danger. The sooner you "Team Right" people accept it the better it's going to be for your Team. The better it's probably going to be for all of us. It is baffling to me that otherwise rational humans are grasping at straws and trying to pretend this guy spews any kind of coherent common sense. Sad!

Didn't watch speech and get it off my twitter feed. Sick of being reminded of the inevitable.

Went to the gym and then a basketball practice. Not sure that listening to tonight's speech equals engaging in the political process, nor would not listening to it exclude someone from having an opinion.

Seems like you're being a little presumptive in assuming I would disagree with something.

Didn't watch it. Sorry.

Was something earth shattering said that will change all of our lives?

Let me know.

Hopefully you recorded it. So listening to the newly elected POTUS in his first speech to Congress isn't important? Interesting

What????? The Stimulus was SUPPOSED to be for shovel ready infrastructure. $831 BILLION that didnt get spent as represented. And BTW the Dems controlled Congress when it was written and passed.

More of your stupid fuckery.....Read post #4 above. I stated there that I did end up watching most of it. That was in direct reference to the post you're quoting. The eats episode turned out to be pretty boring. Sorry that I changed my mind and offended your sensibilities. Do I need to post a list of my planned viewing each night for you to reference?

Watch his posts here, his opinions are clear enough and they sure as hell aren't neutral.

lol, good to see another open mind on this.

It was a good speech - christ even Van Jones and other Dems are acknowledging that.

You didnt watch the speech but you've got a comment on it? Come on. I actually watched it. I thought it was good. Do I think the BS he's said he'd do will get done? Of course that's a long shot. Washington is broken we can all agree on that. Hard to argue with the words though. IMO

I'll get the gist of it from the news. All these things are just cheerleader type things I watched obamas first because it was historic. I didn't watch others I watched Bush after 911 I have to think most of us did. But I'm not a guy who watches many of these. I'll get the sound bites.

Watch what you want to. Saying you're not invested is kind of a stretch though, especially given that you did watch the speech and are quoting a bunch of things off twitter.
