Trump addresses Congress (2-28)- Doper real-time commentary thread

The hell he can’t. He’ll go on about how bad things are and that is why only he can fix these things. That is how despots operate.

16? Where do you get beyond 4-8?

Do we get to make fun of him for using a teleprompter? I seem to remember not too long ago that it was a point of scorn and ridicule from the GOP when Obama did it. Or is that another “It’s OK if Republicans do it” thing?

Mine was going to be "take a drink every time he uses a superlative adjective or whatever you call the reverse( “horrible, terrible”), but I think it pretty much amounts to the same thing.

And maybe Ryan and Pence dressed exactly alike on purpose? Some sort of unifying symbol? - or they’re both really borrowing dressers that though they were being daring by wearing a tie that was a shade of blue other than navy.

Given the blanket condemnation by Democrats of the Republican who did that they can hardly do likewise without appearing as hypocrites. Pelosi was right to counsel calm.

Hey look! Twins!

And Melania’s wearing black. On the plus side it was awfully nice of the First Lady to travel all the way to Washington, DC.

By slowly losing touch with reality and electing the most incompetent celebrity we can find. Too bad Beiber is Canadian.

Obviously we’re going to repeal the limitations on terms and/or he’ll name himself Dear Leader For Life.

Just like Obama did.

He has already started fucking around with the microphone position.

Standing O every two sentences. This could get tedious.

Standing Os as far I can tell so far from both sides of the congress.

And his kick-off issue is anti-Semitism. I am picturing Steve Brannon tied to a chair somewhere in a windowless room,watching TV and foaming at the mouth.

Anti-semitism? Is Trump for it or against it?

Again, FCOL Steve Bannon is no antisemite. Stop believing your own propaganda. Propaganda is for others, not for yourself.

Anyone have a cite for his claim that drugs coming over the border is at an all-time high?

Nah, it’s definitely only the right half standing.

Was that a chorus of chuckles when he said he was draining the swamp? I choose to think so.

There’s also a live Twitter comment stream at #Trump. If you’re not too drunk–yet-- to follow two boards.
