Yes, the biggest concerned troll is now concerned with politicians displaying any hint of narcissism.

The TDS (trump dick sucker) doesn't see the irony in his post at all.

I'm glad he finally outed himself as a member of the TDS club, a surprise to no one.

Even a bigger surprise was just how fanatic texashugger is with regards to trump. I knew he had mental issues but DAMN! That guy is messed in the head! "glorious leader" lol!!!!

I find it odd Trump going on and on about criminal illegals coming from Mexico yet he didn't feel these same people were a threat to his customers at his properties.

I'll let you Trump whisperers rationalize this

Glorious President Trump is doing a wonderful job.

If the economy stays good, democrats have NOTHING to stand on for 2020.
This is the difference between conservatives and liberals. You will never hear a liberal call any leader "glorious" or other such pathetic bootlicking. But for conservatives, this kind of adoration of authority is the norm.

There you go, Democrats aren't for stopping late term abortion. What is the difference between murdering a baby and terminating a fetus of 38 weeks again?
You're still trying to conflate a stillborn baby with late term abortion, and pretending that's not an attack on Roe v Wade.
It's cute that you think we're as stupid as you are.

Mr. Trump said that American troops have been “fighting in the Middle East for almost 19 years.”

This is false.

American troops deployed to Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001, to begin Operation Enduring Freedom — the American military and NATO mission to rid Afghanistan of Al Qaeda. But Afghanistan is not technically considered part of the Middle East — it is in southwest Asia. The United States invaded Iraq, which is in the Middle East, in March 2003 — nearly 16 years ago.



Weak :rolleyes:

Weak how you left out the other lies in the article and cherry-picked this one...
And the leader of our military SHOULD know this, after all, he knows more than the generals...

The guy lies so fucking much you HAVE to cherry pick his statements.
Analyzing and counteracting his bullshit would be a full time job for a dozen people.

Cnn and Msnbc polls say 76% were in approval of his speech.
I personally thought it was a good speech and agree with his points about immigration.

A lot of idiots agree with his immigration talking points but that's typically because they are easily scared of things they know nothing about. How many ms-13 gang members have you ran into lately?

I look forward to seeing our glorious leader speak. This will be a wonderful experience future generations will be able to look back on.

The best part of the speech will be how left leaning websites spin everything President Trump says. Chances are they will pick apart sentences and write articles totally out of context, like they usually do.

Will probably wait an hour or so before I read the leftist propaganda sites such as huffpost, motherjones, salon... etc. This should give their spin wizards plenty of time to crap on their hands and throw it on the site. I learned the hard way last time when I was having a drink and spewed on the monitor from laughter at the literal nonsense left leaning sites posted.

I do not know which is worse, seeing a video of an ape crapping in its hand and throwing feces at people, or how democrats praise the crap posted by liberal sites. Its about the same.
LOL. Not even trying anymore. Pathetic troll is pathetic. It's not even entertaining.

The SOTU always shows the sheer power of the office of the President. By simply not going off the rails and prattering about unity, Trump can look and sound presidential.

But the border wall will continue to be an issue by which you can judge his true intentions. If he sticks to his desire to waste taxpayer dollars on a vanity project he (and everyone else) knows is a waste, he shows he puts himself before country.

What can make me come around on his presidency? By announcing that border security is critical to him and after long discussions with experts, he is pivoting to an expert-driven solution that isn't:
- going to cost tens of billions of dollars
- going to be a static, single line of security that will be easily circumvented
- going to have significant ecological consequences that are barely understood
- going to require the seizure of hundreds of miles of citizen land through eminent domain
- won't contribute to 'security' for years while it's being built (if the issue is so severe right now)

If he can swallow his pride, put the country first, and propose a border security plan that isn't ideated by a child, then we can talk.

"“‘You pass it, I’ll sign it, I want some border stuff.’ That’s what he said.” That, according to House Democratic Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), is what President Trump told her during a recent meeting about preserving Deferred Action for Child Arrivals (DACA)."

The disconnect is when republicans applaud Trump on late term abortion THEN applaud Trump that food stamps usage is down.
I think these 2 year old late terms that republican seem to care about so much just might need food stamps, how many republicans would applaud at that?
And didn't republicans disqualify many from getting food stamps, or make qualifying a lot harder?
If food stamp usage is down that is most likely because Trump cut them off.
Wonder how many of those people Trump invited to his address?

One thing is for sure going by his speech, all those republican millionaires and billionaires in congress are doing pretty damn good these days. Thanks to Trump. So, why would they not applaud?

The economy is doing great. And more people are working. Supposedly...
One could almost believe that if not for all those furlowed government workers exposed as living paycheck to paycheck.
Funny.... I never heard Donald speak one word about THEM.

Interesting. You linked an article that's about 1 1/2 years old (9/2017).

And deals have been tried.....did you forget? Let me remind you....


Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) met privately with Trump at the White House in January (2018), and the two had what was described as the “Cheeseburger Summit.” After the meeting, the Democratic leader seemed optimistic that he and the president had come up with the “framework” for an immigration deal.

As we discussed at the time, the basic contours of the deal were straightforward: Schumer was willing to accept funding for a border wall in exchange for DACA protections for Dreamers.

After Trump negotiated the terms, the White House balked: Chief of Staff John Kelly called Schumer soon after to explain the plan wasn’t far enough to the right for Republicans. Trump himself declared that he’d need far more in any deal, including significant cuts to legal immigration.

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/the-immigration-deal-trump-shouldve-taken-didnt


If only there had been some viable path recently toward construction of the wall. He could have fulfilled one of his core campaign promises to his base, a promise that not any generic Republican president would have prioritized.

And all he had to do was accept a 10- to 14-year path to citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants brought to the United States at a young age. That deal has been on the table for more than a month now: Trump gives Democrats a path to citizenship for 1.8 million Dreamers; Democrats give Trump his full $25 billion wall funding request.
https://slate.com/news-and-politics...ave-accepted-democrats-border-wall-offer.html


I get it.....you forgot all that, didn't you? Or are you going to continue to be completely dishonest and attempt to say what's quoted above doesn't say what it says.....that Trump had a deal in place to begin funding his wall in trade for DACA, a deal Trump agreed to, but was scuttled by someone in the WH with Trump's ear.

This is one of the main reasons why Democrats are taking a hard line on the wall...they already tried and were shit upon by Trump when a deal was made. So how can they trust Trump to sign anything today? He says one thing, does something else completely different.

ok now explain why the same people in the house voted for "barriers" in 2013 and 2006 but now vote no?

I'll give you a hint..."spite".
