State of the Union 2018 follow-along thread

We, I was kinda disappointed in Joe Kennedy.
Doesn’t quite live up to his family name.
Isn’t Bernie supposed to speak?

Godddamn, Bernie is just in permanent fight mode, isn’t he? Gotta love that about the guy: he sees something wrong and it doesn’t stop bothering him until it stops being wrong, is the impression I get.

ETA: Uh oh… Bernie’s feed is down. I wonder what’s up?

Hmm…anyone else getting “We will be back momentarily” on the Bernie response?

ETA: I guess so…they’re mentioning it in the comments. It’s on again.

Ah, the joys of “Hide Chat.”

It’s probably “Breaking News-- MEMO!” that’s taking over.

So mainstream media is not covering Bernie? Bummer.

Ok, I thought his opening point about job creation slowing down was a little weak sauce. As we approach full employment, I kind of would expect the number of created jobs to shrink.

But, “insurance for all”? Good point. “4 cents an hour for workers vs $62 billion for the 3 richest people”? Exactly.

Clean, beautiful coal.

More Gitmo.

Purging federal employees.

Only MS-13 members ever commit murder.

And Trump personally strangled ISIS with his own tiny hands.

Time for the call to action. I hope Bernie calls for people not to hide at home with their heads in the sand.

Of course, there are only 11K watching it now.

Increasing from zero apparently?

Only the great Bill C has done a longer SOTU. And that guy LIKED giving long-winded speeches.
Myself I had to miss this thread as I had to be part of the livefeed for my own political group in Puerto Rico. But our takeaway was mostly along the lines of “y’know, if he were always like this, we could live with it. We’d be f%&$#*g miserable, but we could live with it…”

He’d have to live with a teleprompter on a truss all the time. Just not practical. :slight_smile:

Bernie “The Hammer” Sanders! He is right on, on and on!

Are you familiar with President Trump?

I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard a CNN talking head say the word ‘dissed.’

I am pissed CNN is having all the talking heads on and not Bernie. I swear I am writing a letter.

Song 1

Song 2

A letter? Will you have the Pony Express deliver it so they get it quickly? :stuck_out_tongue:

Nah, I think I will use smoke signals. It is almost instant. As long as you have an interpreter handy.

The difference is that Obama had actually accomplished something, as opposed to President Snowflake.

  1. What WAS that drool coming from the corners oF Kennedy;s mouth?

  2. Did they film that on the set of an early Bruce Springsteen music video?

  3. Was that his Uncle Ted’s convertible with the top up in the background?
