State of the Union 2018 follow-along thread

You do remember how Bernie, that independent, registered as a Democrat? I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that it wasn’t because he suddenly became a fan of Dem policies.

That ‘obvious and straightforward observation’ that you just keep on dunning? No, no axe to grind there.

I was making a serious point about the speech itself, which you then used to turn into an attack on Kennedy.

Your point was that Kennedy just recited stirring platitudes and should have got Bernie’s speechwriters to help him out. Yes? But you’re casting me as the spurned Bernie supporter and Kennedy attacker? Tres bizarre.

That wasn’t a campaign speech; it was the Democratic response to the SOTU. I’ll bet the DNC had more to do with the speech than Kennedy did.

So wait…let me get this straight. Are you now trying to say that you didn’t attack Kennedy, probably 5 or 6 times now? (I’ve lost count.) The rest was me theorizing because you have, again much like Trump, not justified anything you have said. I know you’re not a right-wing crazy, which leaves the left-wing.

I think we just spotted your incomprehension problem. It’s a common one.

Perhaps that would be a valuable lesson, but you’ve still not addressed my concern as to your original post:

“My Govt. students have to report on the SOTU, but I told them not to watch it, just catch the low-lights online tomorrow.”

Do you actually teach, or do you simply preach? I am curious as to your teaching style.

We have lost the ability of civil discourse, IMHO…and when teachers abandon critical thinking, it’s a disservice to the student…

Frankly, I don’t think you’re capable of seeing the real problem.
