Of course, dingbat. I got my marching orders from an article that was only written a few hours ago.

That's just the latest of a series that agrees with the one that gave you orders before: https://www.justplainpolitics.com/s...bers-of-the-SOTU-speech&p=2198692#post2198692
An honest person would have listened to the speech themselves and made up their own mind.
yes we are all aware that talking about family, police, the national anthem and the flag are anathema to democrats. you guys hate america and always have.

That's a lazy analysis. It's really the whole "love it or leave it" thing.
While it's a generalization, I'd say that the left has a brand of appreciation for America that is more tied to its ideals rather than its reality. Criticizing our practices and pushing for reforms is often seen as "hating" America, when in fact it is wanting America to live up to its principles and be better than it is.

I don't think that you understand what American principles are: limited government, freedom to take risks and accountability for your own actions.

I listened to the speech as I said several times before, and that you ignored. Sucks to be you.

So you say. As I stated before, if Trump had a D behind his name you and the other JPP turbo-libs would be jizzing with joy over his speech.

retards like christie (who obviously lied about watching the speech) called it pessemistic. Funny how a "pessamestic" speech got such HIGH approval numbers. Even 43% of democrats thought it was good. If any of you happen to notice tomorrow/today nearly all jpp liberal having a reee-fest over it, let that illustrate to you how far outside the mainstream jpp liberals are.
Trump did a great speech, and you guys are just gonna have to deal with it

Sure. That's why you like Affirmative Action Forever, abortion, forced insurance, and all that.
This isn't even all of them.
"Just as I promised the American people from this podium 11 months ago, we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history."
It is False that the tax-cut package passed in December is the largest cut ever, as Trump has repeatedly claimed.
"After years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages."
We rated Trump’s claim Mostly False. By the most common measure, wages did go up for the first three quarters of Trump’s presidency, but they fell in the fourth, wiping out all the gains on his watch and then some. His assertion also ignores that wages — by two different measurements — began their climb during the final years of Obama’s presidency.
"Our massive tax cuts provide tremendous relief for the middle class and small businesses."
The tax bill does benefit Americans with modest incomes initially, but the wealthy take a disproportionate share.
"We have eliminated more regulations in our first year than any administration in the history of our country."
Trump has a point here, but it's not the whole story. Trump’s use of the Congressional Review Act to roll back regulations did set a record in his first year. Trump had signed 15 Congressional Review Act measures compared with one previously. But experts have told us that other presidents signed laws that cut more rules than Trump.
"The third pillar ends the visa lottery — a program that randomly hands out green cards without any regard for skill, merit, or the safety of American people."
We rated Trump’s claim False. While lottery applicants are randomly selected, they must meet education and work experience requirements. They must also be vetted by the United States government before being allowed to come to the United States.
"Under the current broken system, a single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives."
We rated this claim Mostly False. Neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents can directly petition for a distant relative -- like an aunt, uncle, cousin, niece, nephew, in-law relative or grandparent -- to come to the United States.
"In the past, we have foolishly released hundreds and hundreds of dangerous terrorists, only to meet them again on the battlefield — including the ISIS leader, al-Baghdadi, who we captured, who we had, who we released."
We rated this statement Mostly False. Trump overstated the number of prisoners released from Guantanamo, who were confirmed to have re-engaged in some type of terrorist activity. That number is 122, not "hundreds and hundreds."
He is also not entirely right that al-Baghdadi was "released" by the United States. The ISIS leader was handed over to the Iraqis in 2004. The Iraqis released him some time later.
"We have ended the war on American Energy and we have ended the war on beautiful clean coal. We are now, very proudly, an exporter of energy to the world."
We rated this claim Mostly False. The United States remains a net energy importer, a situation that’s not expected to change until midway through the next decade.
When it comes to individual energy sources, the U.S. status as a net exporter of coal and refined petroleum products predates Trump.

Don't project what you think "Joe Liberal" looks & sounds like onto me. It dismantles any credibility you might hope to have.

I think of you more like a Josephine Liberal.
Boring. Your lack of intelligent retort is noted.
And you would be bashing it the same as we're bashing trump's speech.

Your lack of self-reflection and awareness is also noted.

Not so much. I'm not happy with his amnesty proposal. Yet you should be.
