Tonight's Join Address of Congress

[JohnBrown1917]

Voting for or against Brexit has nothing to do with how you think about Trump.

Ssst, don't tell him the scots hate Trump.

Looks promising again.

He kind lost it for a while, but hopefully this will be a soft "reset" and we can see some of his original plans take effect soon.

Be very quiet everybody! We are here in its natural habitat, the very rare and endangered Dutchman who likes Trump.
Don't scare it away!

Pff be patriotic at least. The man is orange!

Sadly the people who need to hear this will just write Bernie off as a "crazy socialist."

Sanders went on to attack Trump for not draining the swamp. The Senator from Vermont hit Trump for breaking his campaign promise of reinstating the Glass-Steagall Act.

Sen. Sanders said that some of what Trump said looks good on the surface. Sanders exposed Trump’s infrastructure plan as bogus and said that the had a hard time not laughing out loud when Trump spoke about protecting clean air and water.

Sanders said that Trump is going to pay for his Pentagon spending spree by slashing funding for programs for the elderly, sick, and the poor. Sanders hit Trump for wanting to give the wealthy a $3 trillion tax cut.

I didn't state my position on America at all. I was just curious about blowback.

Ultimately, isn't it "Me First" anyway, at least for now?

At some point, sometime, it will have to be Earth First. He was thinking a few generations ahead, as I tend to do.

Thinking and acting on a future that does not exist is insane. Nobody crowned him emperor of mankind.

[LordKain]

Wow, Trump was able to read off of a teleprompter with little to no ad-libbing...so presidential!

Really...people are giving him credit for that?

Trump is still giving shout outs to his lord and master.

Oh shit...LOL!!! Love this pic!!

Shhhh. Rationality is the enemy, you must not say anything close to it, less you want to attract those who we mustn't utter the name.

[Theodarzna]

You mean thoughtfully and considerately, rather than turning every geopolitical conflict into a dick measuring contest? Obama's approach to foreign policy was just fine, presenting a calm and measured image but not being afraid to use force when necessary, just like Teddy Roosevelt described. The only problem was that his enemies at home were so mad the black guy won they spent eight years undermining him in front of the entire world, and our rivals took note of that and exploited that division.

He was "thoughtful," at the expense of the country he was charged with being president of.

One can speak of "Earth First," or whatever but at the end of the day I expect the Prime Minister of the UK to care for the UK first, others second. I expect the president of the United States to care for the United States first, others second.

That's why we have countries in the first place. I think that to work internationally is important for pretty much everyone, but let's not forget that ultimately, a country's responsibility is toward its people first, the world second.

The bar is set so low for him that he gets credit for basic functions. On the same day that he suggested anti-semitic behavior is really just about people not liking him, and attempting to absolve himself in the Yemen raid by putting a clear line between him and the military("they lost him"<wink wink>), we're supposed to praise him for not doing it in his speech.

Yay.

[Krigaren]

Sadly, yes. Because he was able to stay on-message and read an actual speech rather than spouting out his word diarrhea, he gets gold stars and pats on the back. Basically the media is giving him his participation trophy.

The real irony? The GOP and even Trump himself giving Obama no end of shit for using teleprompters, but yet again, the double standard is glaring right at us.

[Bodakane]

That is simply a lie.

He did not injure the US to help the planet or other countries.

Our country had problems far more important than his making buddy buddy with Iran, or playing games in Syria and Libya. He was lackluster and home and couldn't even do the abroad stuff "right."

Stop.

You said he was "thoughtful" at the expense of the country. Those words means he injured the country somehow BY doing nice things for other countries.

Don't obfusicate. Don't circumvent what you said.

It certainly won't exist if it's actively prevented.

I don't think it can exist.

[Blur4stuff]

almost every statement in his speech was a lie or a distortion

but i'm glad some folks thought it sounded great

According to a newly released poll, most did. 69% felt more optimistic about America's future after listening to his speech.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-news...-presidential/ the 69% poll was from a CNN one, this one has even more favorable views.

I thought we didn't trust polls anymore? This post-truth world is confusing.

Good point. But most people will trust ones which they agree with. lol! I did not think Trump would win the election. The polls said he would not. But they were wrong. I think these polls concerning his speech to Congress are close however. The Presidential elections were off in some cases by as much as 8%. Lets say this poll about his speech is off by 10%. It would still give him a high rating for it.

Then you don't understand polling or probabilities.
