So, LOL, will Trump do the State of the Union with the gov. shutdown as he brags about how great

[RKP5637]

he is, with me, me, me ... I did it all, all my accomplishments. Yeah, I doubt it will be down, but I had a laughing spell about him bragging in a dimmed auditorium, can't turn the lights on ... etc.

[C_U_L8R]

1. By candlelight and without CSPAN cameras

And no teleprompter

[RKP5637]

4. And in a tent!!! Maybe like a three ring circus tent!

[VOX]

8. More like a pup-tent and flashlight.

Be interesting to see this marvel of medical science actually rough it in the wild. He wouldn’t last 10 minutes.

[RKP5637]

18. OK, who forgot the batteries?

[VOX]

38. Damn! I thought they were included.

Reminder: Always check the fine print on the “AS SEEN ON TV!” purchases.

[RKP5637]

43. ...

[Wwcd]

2. He'll use the SOTU to blame Schumer & the Dems, & Obama

He gets prime time, all eyes on trump, world wide, to blame the Dems.
He'll love the spotlight.

[Frustratedlady]

7. You left out Hillary. Surely, she was part of the scheme. eom

[RKP5637]

19. Yep, it was all detailed in those damn emails she destroyed that Russia can't find. Phew,

thank god we escaped those emails with HRC.

[VOX]

11. Soros! Deep State! What did Hillary know and when?!!

These people are so predictable.

[Wwcd]

13. Yup. The speech is now being re-written for total impact

Hope none of the Dems show up.

[RKP5637]

17. Stephen Miller is probably busy writing it for him, the little creep!

[Frustratedlady]

24. I don't know much about him, but I do know he is creepy.

Where did he come from? Russia? The Young Republicans? How did he get into the Oval Office and have the POTUS' ear? Never heard of him before the last couple months.

I think we should play "Republican Dark Side" and start a rumor that he is a plant from the DNC and is wired. That hair peninsula that extends out from the front of his hairline conceals a miniature camera and when he lowers his head like he is doing in the photo, he is focusing the camera toward his subject. To click, he'll touch his ear lobe. You'll never know it happened...he's slick. The bulges on either side of his upper lip are microphones...in stereo. The next time you see him being interviewed, you'll notice he never blows his nose. That is out of courtesy to the CIA agents listening in. My God, they'd go ballistic if he cleaned out that honker.

Just sayin'.

[RKP5637]

31. Miller is the one that stated "No one is to question the authority of the president!" Meaning

Trump.

[VOX]

39. IMO, Miller is genuinely insane.

Just your average kid from Santa Monica, California, born to liberal parents? No, he’s been a vile “person” at least since high school. He goes out of his way to be a social outcast.

STEPHEN MILLER’S OP-EDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE SHOW HOW HE BECAME TRUMP’S MOST NOTORIOUS AIDE
Newsweek | By Carlos Ballesteros
Tuesday, January 9, 2018

The Santa Monica, California, native spent his teenage years railing against his town’s liberal bent, defending former President George W. Bush, the Iraq War and the Republican Party while blaming America's ills on immigrants, school administrators and Muslims.

Miller used his high school newspaper and local press to his advantage, penning op-eds intended to incite his classmates and make sure everyone knew he stood out from the sea of blue-state voters.

By the time Miller enrolled at Duke University in 2003, his right-wing politics had hardened, as did his writing. He also became acquainted with Richard Spencer, a white supremacist and a future leader of the alt-right movement. Spencer told Mother Jones in 2016 that he acted as a “mentor” to Miller.
<snip>

[RKP5637]

44. Always reminds me of ...

Joseph Goebbels

[VOX]

47. Yes. A solid match in appearance and in deed.

Miller would have been in ideological heaven had he lived in 1930’s Germany.

[Wwcd]

41. He's got that look about him, I think he's Michael Chertof's kid!

[RKP5637]

45. Yep, he's creepy, that's for sure, looks, mannerisms, speech and his thoughts. n/t

[RKP5637]

20. Yeah, all part of Obama's underground government bringing down tRump!

[VOX]

40. Its as plain as the high-blood-pressure-induced crimson face of Sean Hannity.

Who, as a courageous, freedom-loving patriot, keeps the focus where it belongs: on the Clinton Foundation, Hillary and Obama!

[Wwcd]

42. Rofl.. haahaa "the high-blood-pressure-induced crimson face of Sean Hannity.

That's funny..

[ginnyinWI]

3. He may spend a lot of it in a blistering attack on the Dems.

If he can't stick it on them, his Presidency won't be worth much from here on.

[RKP5637]

36. I hope this plus Stormy Daniels is the beginning of the end of his presidency. But sadly his

supporters won't give a damn.

[Mc Mike]

5. All the more reason for a total Dem boycott of his SOTU.

They can say 'he shut down the government, we thought that dope's speech was cancelled by the shutdown. Whoops.'

[RKP5637]

6. Yep!!! "cancelled by the shutdown. Whoops.'"

[PJMcK]

27. Absolutely right

The Democrats should have a plan for the State of the Union address.

First, they all show up and take their seats. When Trump enters, they stand and give polite applause for the Office of the Presidency.

Then, when Trump casts his first slur against the Democrats, they stand en masse and walk out of the House chamber.

Trump will go nuts.

More importantly, it would send the message that play-time is over.

[oberliner]

9. He will blame everything on the Democrats

And his supporters will be right there with him.

[RKP5637]

35. Yep, his supporters, useful stooges as always. Now, we can see how WWII Germany came about. n/t

[DFW]

10. He'll brag about how he filled the room

"Biggest crowd EVER at a State of the Union speech. The room was PACKED, I tell you!"

[RKP5637]

16. "And Thousands and Thousands standing outside because they could not get in!"

[Siwsan]

12. Maybe he will tweet it, this year

Or do a FaceBook Live presentation.

[CentralMass]

14. You couldn't pay me to watch Trump speak

[RKP5637]

15. You can read it when he tweets the SOTU.

[Kirk Lover]

21. Maybe he can just tweet out the SOTU -- It's bad enough his piece of shit self is clogging

all the pipes, I don't want him clogging up the telly that evening.

[RKP5637]

22. SOTU by President Turd! n/t

[Kirk Lover]

23. SOTU: Shithole of the Union given by Prezident Turd !

[RKP5637]

25. Definitely more accurate!!! n/t

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Have we confirmed Mueller investigation untouched by shutdown?

[RKP5637]

33. Good question, haven't heard. n/t

[lapfog_1]

28. every democrat and possibly jeff flake

need to stand up and shout "You LIE!!!" before turning their backs on the orange shithole when he blames the shutdown on them

[RKP5637]

34. Really, they need to tell this ass to fuck off!!! n/t

[procon]

29. Id like to see Dems at the SOTU armed with "You lie!" signs.

If a Republican can get away with yelling, "You lie!", then Dem should use a similar tactic. Let them hold up "You lie!" signs (professional graphics, nice and classy - LOL), everytime Trump tells a whopper.

Precision sign waving could become an Olympic event, and it will certainly rattle Trump. He might even stop reading his canned speech and act like a raving lunatic on primetime TV. And the news networks would likely be more focus on what the Dems were doing than on Trump's self indulgent fairytale.

[RKP5637]

32. Democrats are always far too polite and want to compromise. Asses like Trump see it as a

weakness to be exploited.

[Doodley]

30. I hope Trump goes off script.

[OnDoutside]

37. I think he very well might. This shutdown is humiliating for him on the

anniversary of his first year in office. I think he will double down on blaming the Democrats.

[Cosmocat]

46. If they shut down is still going

No way he won't be taken serious Diggs at the Democrats for it.
