https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/1/30/1737153/-Abbreviated-pundit-roundup-SOTU-preview-and-the-GOP-s-war-on-law-enforcementOn Tuesday night, the president will read a speech somebody else wrote for him. The pundits will say he sounds presidential. And on Wednesday Donald Trump will go back to being Donald Trump.
White House officials prepped reporters for Tuesdays performance by saying that President Trump will be optimistic as well as very unifying and that the tone will be one of bipartisanship and it will be very forward looking. And Trump will speak from the heart.
No. Trump will speak from a teleprompter. Thats why well hear unifying and bipartisan notes. If you want from the heart, check his Twitter account.
--------------------------------------
Translation:
- "optimistic" - "Everything is great since I'm in charge."
- "unifying" - "Why can't you Democrats get over this collusion-thing?"
- "bipartisanship" - "It's important for the Democrats to compromise."
- "forward looking" - "Seriously, stop with the collusion."
- "from the heart" - "I want a good, compassionate immigration-bill. But only for Norwegians."
- "teleprompter" - "My handlers wrote this for me!"

Might turn the TV on long enough to hear Kennedy speak.

Trump and the Republicans (not that it seems to accomplish much).
I will have no problem finding another way to spend my time tonight. He is an enemy of this country and the US Constitution. The best way to show our contempt for him is for as many people as possible to not watch the speech and give him ratings in the toilet.
