Official State of the Union Thread

[Ame®icano]

Hollywierd takes to Twitter...

Alyssa Milano talks about...
unity is not creating or enforcing laws
which separate children from their parents
at the border, illegally trying to enter the country

Umm, fuck you

I do not advocate separating families,
I support enforcing our laws

There are thousands of children
removed or separated from their families
because their parent/s are in jail

Why doesn’t she go off on,
the parent/s putting their family in that situation?

How many children are shipped off alone?
WTF...nothing to say about that?

Why are these people breeding
if they can barely provide for themselves
and know the reality of their life, their situation?

I mean, 1 kid is bad enough,
but, 2, 3, 4...come on already!

How does anyone question
the compassions and ethics of others,
without first questioning those
who subjected these children to a life of
hunger, need, squalor, poverty, sadness and desperation?

I am sick and tired of others irresponsiblity
being everyone else’s responsibility!

Then you have Debra Messing tweeting....
unity does not ban immigrants based on their religion

Bitch, STFU

It’s not ok to force people to do something
that goes against their religious beliefs either

But, you support laws which would do just that
You favor denying someone their convictions
so someone could force compliance of their convictions
instead of TAKING THEIR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!

Fuck you idiots...
The only reason I favor the AOC 70% wealth tax,
is so fucks like you are forced to pay for what you advocate

Kylie Jenner has a net worth of 900 million dollars,
This money is attributed to her cosmetics line
which she launched in 2015...

We just entered 2019, so, one can assume,
she will make as much, if not more, over the next 3 years

She would be taxed 63 million dollars
on 900 million in earnings


See, haven’t heard a peep from those
this wealth tax would get its money from...

but, believe me when I say,
If you honestly think, she would be delighted
to have to give the government 63 million dollars
so everyone can have health insurance
go to college and have a house...

YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND!

That’s why you haven’t heard a peep...
Too many hypocrites would expose themselves

Your math sucks! 70% of 900 million is not $63 million it is $630 million!

Catch a clue!

Your math sucks

She is not taxed on what her company is worth, she only pays on what she takes out for personal use

Than what's point of referring to what her company makes?

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.

Now you really got him. Technically. Congrats.

We've been in these two wars for almost 19 years. That's all that matters.

Maybe Trump should invade Nipple & Button?

And good natured with the white jackets, who I see some on twitter are calling the straight jackets. AOC had a rare bad night, looking not spirited, warm and original as usual but sullen, teenaged and at a loss.



OAC as a Bitter Loser Replies

"Why should I be “spirited and warm” for this embarrassment of a #SOTU? Tonight was an unsettling night for our country. The president failed to offer any plan, any vision at all, for our future. We’re flying without a pilot. And I‘m not here to comfort anyone about that fact," she wrote.

Riiight...

It was embarrassment for Democrats and unsettling for socialists.

Bartender bimbo looked so empty headed there.

I see....no one seems to know how many cross the border illegally....but they know they caught 55% - 85%. Yup, that makes sense.

And hey, if 15% are still brutalizing women and children . . . that's good enough, right? No reason to get excessive and try to stop even more, is there?

Trump brutalized women & you voted for him.

You assfucks that demand links when you present none can shove it up your ass.

Spousal Rape I guess is a picnic.

It is a truth universally acknowledged (by rational people), that when a poster descends into a spew of vulgarity, he admits his argument is completely lacking in any legs whatsoever.

Trump says fuck & you love him.

and the fun part is that InfoWars readers are so stupid they will think this is a real picture.

It is real. They just left their hoods home as I'm sure they aren't allowed in the Capital. A clever photoshopper added the hoods back in.

and then you prove me correct about the intelligence of the InfoWars readers...thanks!

Democrats are the ones that started the Klan. Just sayin... lol

yep, then they got cheated by the Dems and all became the Southern Repubs

With few rare exceptions, it didn't happen.

If you're right, you won't have problem naming five racist Democrats that left the party to join Republicans.
I'll help you with the first one:

Republicans cheering that more women are in Congress when their party made no gains in the number of women or minorities among their ranks.

Republicans cheering the abortion line when they take away access to birth control and pull funding from food stamps & child healthcare.

no funding has been pulled for child healthcare, stop lying. Your birth control is your responsibility, not the government's.

"In total, the White House is proposing $7 billion in cuts to CHIP. It appears to be true that $5 billion of that sum is currently trapped in an account that can’t be legally accessed — but that doesn’t oblige Congress to eliminate the funding, as opposed to merely passing legislation to make the account legally accessible. The other $2 billion would come out of the Child Enrollment Contingency Fund, which guarantees that state-level CHIP programs will have access to extra funds, should enrollment come in higher than expected. Since CHIP is targeted at children from low-income families — and the economy is strong — it is unlikely that enrollment will come in unusually high this year. But then, economic conditions can change."

Trump Adds ‘Cutting Children’s Health Care’ to GOP’s 2018 Platform

Birth control is part of health insurance that YOU BUY.

You right wing dumbasses allow companies to get out of that requirement & thereby employees there would have to pay for it making it more difficult to get.

your cite is from a left wing publication, so it has zero credence. Most insurance does not cover birth control, but it could be an option if you wanted to pay extra premiums for it. BUT, under obozocare there are no options available on policies, everyone has to buy the same one whether they need those coverages or not. Condums are not expensive, buy your own.

but for clinton.....look at donations to her foundation

Peter Schweizer put out this story and he worked with Steve Bannon at Breitbart News, and made this claim in a book in called Clinton Cash.
So just because a writer puts this in a book does not make it a fact
At best it just an allegation

Still it is a foundation and they certainly are not going to turn down money

The foundation creates economic opportunity, improving public health, inspiring civic engagement and services.
The foundation has a rating of 92 percent in transparency and finances

Compare this with the trump foundation which recently had to stop its operations because of "Shocking concerns of illegality"

Exhibit A Clinton how to run a foundation
Exhibit B Trump how not to run a foundation

speeches made by Bill Clinton
Bush speaking fee is reportedly between $100,000 and $150,000.
nearly 140 paid talks, at home and abroad
Reagan accepted $2 million for two speeches in Japan.
Clinton took the ex-presidential speeches to a new level. He earned $65 million in speaking fees from 2001 to 2009
Hey if you believe in capitalism then how your going to question if they can make that kind of money just from a lecture or speech
Obama can sometimes get 400,000
Even Al Gore gets paid for speeches
When Trump leaves office it will be interesting to see what he gets.

That what EX presidents due they make speeches and get paid for it
If the Russians want to pay to hear him speak , its not against the law

business down with the Podestas

Still innuendos made by the right

Ultimately I have to look at this

Have they been charged with any wrong doing and found guilty

No and that is the only true fact that can be proven

The problem is the fact that if Trump says the word Russia, you people make it a conspiracy......he has had less contact with them then the Clintons.....so yes those FACTS do prove that you are full of shit.

And since when have you cared about due process and whether people have been charged or found guilty?

if you believe that, then tell the media and your leftists friends they shouldn't accuse Trump without evidence...but you wont', because you're full of shit

Trump denied it. Why?

Did the Russians help Hillary or did they help Trump?

Certainly you are so fucking stupid as to count her contacts as SofS.

And how did the Russians help Trump?

It seems to me the democrats rigged a primary for Clinton...fact
They conspired with a british agent who spoke to Russians to make up a dossier...fact
They worked with the FBI to spy on Trump's campaign...fact
They used this document (which is unverified and patently ridiculous) to spy on Trump....fact
The FBI then released this dossier to the media (Buzzfeed I believe)...fact


So what do we have on the Trump side

They met with a Russian lawyer over the pretext that she had dirt on Clinton...fact
She had no dirt and they spoke about the Maginksy Act....fact


So I would say Clinton worked with the Russians much much more

And Clinton wouldn't have pulled out of the INF (Putin HATES that)
She would have allowed the Iran deal to exist
She would have ignored N Korea and let them keep firing missiles over our allies.

So I would say the Russians would like her agenda much much more as well


Fact is there was no collusion from Trump's side, but tons from Clintons.


So you have one side who created a plitica document used to spy

So, blah blah blah what about Clinton?? Is this all you Trumpettes can offer?

Our intelligence agencies said Russia helped Trump.

They used misinformation & lies to dupe feeble minded people like you into actually voting for a con man piece of shit like Trump.

The Clinton campaign hired an opposition research firm that sent one of their employees to Russia to see what Trump was doing there. That is not colluding with the Russians.

Trump has favored Russia in sevetral instances. He dilly dallued for mopnths to enat Congressional ordered sanctions.

He just got some sanctions removed
He has allowed Putin to build mid range missiles without any treaty.
He warmed Russia of an air strike against Syria (who warned Syria) & we bombed an empty airfield.
He agreed with the Russia invasion of Afghanistan.
He creates havoc within NATO - Putin's biggest wish
He creates havoc in the EU - to weaken that would benefit Russia
He gives Putin the OK to kill off as many political rivals as they want when he said what they do within their country is their business.

Clinton would not have pulled out on the INF treaty & if she had , you would be running ion circles, waving your arms about & screaming OMG OMG OMG

Thank God she keeping the Iran deal

She would not have ignored NK. She had proposed sanction many times.

One of Trump's campaign members was caught in a wiretap on a Russian and you think that is not cause for concern? You lie about this?

What the fuck kind 0f American are you? Trump has lied about his business in Russisa. He lied about his campaign's contact with Russia. He is hiding his business relation with banks with ties to Russia. He is favoring Putin over our allies?
And you protect this action without even demanding an investigation?
You might as well pack your shit & move top Russia so you'll be closer to kissing Vlad's ass.

you continue to display both your ignorance and stupidity, you are the resident clown of USMB, I think you even outdid rightwinger and his sock jake sharkey.

I think it looked kind of like a KKK meeting just before they put their hoods on, then go out and lynch somebody. That was some bizarre shit there. WTF?

Do any of you conservatives bother to learn about things you try to talk about?

Do you have any knowledge of the history of our nation?

I swear it's just embarrassing how down right stupid and full of hate you are.

Here's a little history lesson. Pay attention:

At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century women stood up and demanded the right to vote. Conservative men of this nation fought their demands. Women protested. The conservative men put them in prison. Women lost their families, children, jobs their freedom and some even lost their lives in their suffrage to get the right to vote.

In 1920 on a hot August day women finally got that right to vote in all of the US.

Those women were wearing Suffrage White in respect towards all the women who suffered and gave up so much for us women to have the right to vote.

I understand why you don't know about this and make such ridiculous statements about it. You hate anyone who doesn't share your views so much that you have to make such hateful and ridiculous statements about women who are showing such respect for all those brave women who fought so long and hard for us to have the right to vote.

You and people like you disgust me.

Is that what they thought you in school? Let's mention few details omitted by Dana7360, that Susan B. Anthony amendment was defeated four times by a Democrat controlled Senate. When the Republican Party regained control of Congress in 1919, the Equal Suffrage Amendment finally passed the House in May of that year and in the Senate in June.

When the Amendment was submitted to the states, 26 of the 36 states that ratified it had Republican legislatures. Of the nine states that voted against ratification, eight were Democratic. Twelve states, all Republican, had given women full suffrage before the federal amendment was ratified.

You lefties like to take a credit for things you havent done, and to blame others for the things you did.

Mr. Trump said that Ralph Northam, the embattled governor of Virginia, said he would execute a baby after it was born.

This is false.

In an interview last month, Governor Northam said that he supported a late-term abortion bill that would loosen restrictions on the procedure, and allow women to consult with a doctor on an abortion up to, but not including, the time of birth.

The governor, a pediatric neurologist, also talked about some of the dangerous medical emergencies that pregnant women could face, such as carrying a nonviable fetus. He said that in such a case, the mother would deliver the infant and then, “the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” While Mr. Northam was talking about an end-of-life care discussion in the case of a child that would not live, Republicans seized on his remarks as evidence that Mr. Northam supported killing babies after their birth.

Not false.

Northam: "The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired. And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."

Trump is right. Baby would be executed after it was born.

I supposed pennelope is so stupid she doesn't know what delivered means.

You can read more if you like:

Mr. Trump said that America is the largest crude oil producer in the world and that production has hit a record high.

This is true.

The United States has been the largest producer of oil and gas in the world since 2013, a trend that began under the Obama administration thanks in large part to advances in shale drilling techniques.

Mr. Trump claimed nearly 5 million people have been lifted off food stamps.

This is exaggerated.

The number of Americans in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program decreased by more than 3.5 million between February 2017 — Mr. Trump’s first full month in office — to September 2018, according to the latest available data. By comparison, the number of people receiving the aid decreased by 5 million from June 2015 to January 2017.

Mr. Trump said his administration is holding talks with several groups in Afghanistan, including the Taliban.

This is true.

Mr. Trump said that American forces last month killed one of the leaders of the 2000 bombing of the naval destroyer Cole.

This is true.

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.

Mr. Trump said that lawmakers in New York cheered the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments before birth.

This is misleading.

On Jan. 22, the 46th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat of New York, signed the Reproductive Health Act, which ensures a woman’s right to an abortion in New York if Roe v. Wade were to be overturned. It does not broadly allow abortions until shortly before birth, as Mr. Trump suggested. Instead, it will allow for an abortion after 24 weeks to protect the mother’s health or if the fetus is not viable. Under the prior law, abortions were allowed after 24 weeks only if the woman’s life was in jeopardy.

Those women were wearing Suffrage White in respect towards all the women who suffered and gave up so much for us women to have the right to vote.

I understand why you don't know about this and make such ridiculous statements about it. You hate anyone who doesn't share your views so much that you have to make such hateful and ridiculous statements about women who are showing such respect for all those brave women who fought so long and hard for us to have the right to vote.

You and people like you disgust me.

Is that what they thought you in school? Let's mention few details omitted by Dana7360, that Susan B. Anthony amendment was defeated four times by a Democrat controlled Senate. When the Republican Party regained control of Congress in 1919, the Equal Suffrage Amendment finally passed the House in May of that year and in the Senate in June.

When the Amendment was submitted to the states, 26 of the 36 states that ratified it had Republican legislatures. Of the nine states that voted against ratification, eight were Democratic. Twelve states, all Republican, had given women full suffrage before the federal amendment was ratified.

You lefties like to take a credit for things you havent done, and to blame others for the things you did.

The Dems suppressed women and supported Jim Crow laws against blacks. This is why they are busily scrubbing history so they can blame their misdeeds on the GOP.

And Trump has done nothing to improve it...I wish people would quit giving the government so much damn credit for what the private sector does

Yeah, just quit giving government credit while Trump is in the office.

Except, Trumps policies unleashed the power of the private sector, so in a way... he deserves some credit.[/QUOTE]

I have never given any POTUS credit for such things. Unlike you I do not worship the government and think it is the solution to all our problems.
