Yeah, that was a pretty slick move on his part - I must admit.So now Trump is taking credit for women in Congress. Actually he CAN take credit for some of that though not in the way he is implying. Talk about begging for an applause line.
That was hilarious. All the women were on one side... and some started a chant “we’re all on this side!” And the GOP started an awkward ‘USA USA” chant.
I usually want to know what the president is saying ... whether it's a president whose agenda I like or dislike. So, since I want to feel informed, I usually feel an obligation to listen firsthand and not rely on what other people and their biased filters tell me was the takeaway of the night.
I gave Trump a chance in his first two years. I found a couple of positive things in both his first Joint Session speech and his first official SOTU. But ... no ... not tonight.
How you doing, Linc? Good seeing you around.
To the bolded:
To glean additional information from body language and delivery, and to gauge Congressional response.
We’re having our first ice storm warning in a decade. I’m not watching RTrump. I can’t find a time in our history when we haven’t been at each other’s throats.
And, the South won the latest chapter of our never-ending civil war, this decade, at the ballot box.
What!!! How did a line about funding cancer research turn into a school choice (charter school) agenda item? Was there a period in there somewhere that I just didn't hear come out of his mouth?
The ol bait and switch.

I feel weird not watching the SOTU .... but I just can't deal with that creep now.
I can't say for sure, but it's possible I haven't missed a SOTU since sometime in the 90's. I at least haven't actively avoided one. If I was where I could watch it and I thought of it, I would turn it on, feeling it my civic duty.
But not tonight. You guys enjoy.

Fair enough.republicans stand and clap, democrats sit on hands. Besides, I don't think I can trust what he says to mean what he says. I don't need political theater to know or be told what to think about the man when actions, deeds speaks more volumes of the truth than could ever come out of his mouth or any other president for that matter.
