Live Chat for SOTU

Trump just gestured to the left side of the chamber calling them 'Leftist Lunatics'
 
There's going to be a lot of butthurt Dems walking out of that chamber tonight. :ROFLMAO:
 
Out of curiosity, if This is the SOTU, why is no one calling it the SOTU?

This sounds more like what we'd call the Throne Speech up here, where the government lays out its agenda for the next parliamentary session.

I'm normally no fan of Trump's speeches--and true to form, he's verging on going overlong--but he ain't wrong about the pettiness of this crop of Democrats.

I didn't know what else to call it, lol.
 
we all watched it here... . awesome speech... i loved watching green get kicked out
out of the chamber... and every time they showed pelosi she was crying... all that was
pretty awesome too..... i couldn;t believe that the democrats didn;t stand a single time...
not for anything.... ...

but a few minutes before the speech started another awesome thing happened... . kilauea
blew up into it;s 14th cycle of the ongoing eruption.... so we had it on a side screen keeping
an eye on while trump was speaking... you can scroll back on the video and see the moment
the flaming lava shot up from the vent....it coincided pretty well with the beginning of trumps
speech..... .i thought that was pretty amazing because this latest eruption - cycle one - started
right before trumps inaugeration on january 20th..... they lost the first live stream coz the original
camera was too close and fried .... they moved back and started another one january 31......

this was a pretty cool think to have running on the side while trump was speaking..
.... symbolic even.... :cool:

Apparently Trump broke the length record for addresses to Congress at 1:40--around ten minutes longer than the previous record: Bill Clinton's, unsurprisingly. I first heard of him after he went way overtime at the 1988 DNC, so he had a reputation for being prolix.

No surprise, I guess. I've not heard a Trump speech that wasn't twice as long as it needed to be. He speaks slowly, repeats himself, digresses often, and doesn't appear to keep to prepared notes.

They NEVER call the first speech of a new administration before both houses the SOTU. One wouldn't have had enough time to adequately prepared for such.

That was my assumption: not enough time in the big chair to adequately assess the state of the union.
 
Dana Perino expected the Dems to hold up a sign last night saying Uncle.

Some asked what was with the paddles that dems were holding up last night. I said it was all the items left for the dems after the spanking they got last Nov 5th 2024.

I think it started with Rashida Tlaib. At last year's SOTU, she had a paddle that said "Stop Sending Bombs," and during one of Netanyahu's visits last year, she had one marked "War Criminal."

Ironically, she seemed to have forgotten hers last night. She was using a whiteboard.

Trump repeats his words slowly so democrats can follows what Trump is saying.
