Watching the State of the Union. Just Wow.

How can this guy be 80-years-old? I give him his due credit for rescuing the US from what we experienced under a previous administration. I hope the US can continue on its current course. But I also hope we can reduce crime in our inner cities, where I grew up. And I hope we can be sure that ALL citizens, regardless of race, gender, education, and SES, can benefit from policies moving forward. What can YOU do for your Country?

Are they clapping every five seconds? I never watch State of the Union addresses. But I bet Nancy Pelosi won’t be ripping up her copy of this President’s speech!

Has the photo got anything to do with your discussion? Just wondering.

@TheHorse I love your bridge with all my heart. I could wander that area for hours. And scribble poetry.

Yes. I'm a hard working American who takes care of myself. I built that bridge on my property in Montana and have maintained it for decades.

@TheHorse It looks rickety. I think it's a trap.

It was a great speech. Hopefully it convinced some naysayers.

I didn't watch it. It's usually a lot of promises but nothing ever comes of them.

It wasn't a State of the Union address at all. It was a campaign speech. And unfortunately, he listed no accomplishments because there aren't any. He never said, "this is what we did." Instead he just said, "this is what we must do." Buddy, you've had three years to show us you can do it and you haven't. What should give us confidence you can do it in the next five?

@porwest Heh. I bet some Republican news outlets will say that it was "too political,"or something like that. Oh, the irony if I'm right. But I have been out of town. I need sleep.

Heh. "I'll have what she's having," not what you're having. (What movie was that?)

@TheHorse I don't care what movie it was. It wasn't a SOTU, but of course he will be propped up. I will give him cred for MOSTLY making it through without too much stumbling. But it wasn't a SOTU.

Crime is always an element to be dealt with. I hope the police that are bad will be found out and dealt with. We have that going on in LA right now. My country needs to get smart and those who are brainwashed need to get smart and vote right in the election. If not we won't have to worry about any of this. We will no longer have a democracy and won't be able to vote or do anything about what goes on in the government. Mr. Orange Hair will have it all sewn up and done the way he wants it done. But then, you know how I feel and how scary it could become if we let him in again.
