Kennedy's Response - Perfect Backdrop

This is the most incredible opinion piece describing the school where Rep. Kennedy will give the SOTU rebuttal. I have a family member at this school - it is an amazing place.

But the opinion piece is without a doubt, the sharpest attack to the very core of Trump's lies. Read it all ---

"No group of people in America knows better the limitations of capitalism, the cruelty of the free market. They tell you you’re a valued employee and a member of the team until the day the boss disappears, and you go home to tell your husband the job is gone. We live surrounded by old, often disintegrating mills, a sign of capitalism’s limits.

Trump is supposed to speak for that America, but Fall River wouldn’t take the bait. We know his kind. They fire us, they lay us off.

No matter who writes the damn thing, Trump’s State of the Union address will be at least partially incomprehensible, loaded with cheap barroom bragging, an insult to the voices of Lincoln, of Roosevelt, of Jack Kennedy, a stunning rebuke to the idea of soaring phrases and ringing words. There will be no “Ask not what your country can do for you” moment.

We will be told that the stock market is boiling over. No matter. Fall River is not a stock market kind of place. We will be told to gratefully pick up the nickels our corporate masters drop when they’re running away with billions. We will be told we can keep our guns and our bibles, but everything else belongs to the rich."

1. I'm hoping the response will contain fact checking of 45s speech.

I just heard he will be touting a 3% average growth over 3 quarters, which is a lie. The lies must be refuted with the facts. A canned speech will not do.

4. Mine too

He is shining pretty bright and likely even more so after his SOTU rebuttal speech.

"Roar, young lion, roar."

I believe he will. So hopeful, FINALLY!
