Nope. He's too busy pointing out the strides women have made.
What a buffoon!!
Yeah, it really pisses him off when women don’t stay in the kitchen.

You should call in and ask if Mexico has sent the check for the wall yet. :ninja:

Fun nonsense. Not “I can’t defend my tenuous position so I’m going to lash out at everyone in an attempt to avoid an actual debate” nonsense though.

It’s our fault though. We...wait for it...built a wall around him.

Wonder if Mexico will pay for that too?

Come on stimpy, there hasn't been a more sexist, even misogynist president in our life times, and that includes Kennedy and Clinton. If you're gonna troll, you're gonna hafta do better than that. He is literally saying these things because someone told him to say them, not because he believes them, likes them, or even understands them, and I'm not being even remotely facetious.

It's actually worse when he says inclusive, bipartisan things, because his actions and words at all other times are the exact opposite. It's insulting, not worthy of praise or even acknowledgement.

Dude. Come on. At some point you have to let go of your hurt, angry child and join the grown ups. You can't be this petulant forever. Do you even understand what "butt hurt" means? It's not literal, if that helps.

Just to be clear. I've made zero personal comments about you and your posts.
You can call me a troll or a child or whatever else makes you feel good about yourself.

You must have not watched the actual speech then. He claimed he saved us from a war, fell back on his patently false claim about massive crime at the border, and claimed investigations of his criminal compatriots was hurting America and should stop.

He brought the crazy. If you can’t see it, I don’t know what to tell you other than have a good night.

Again, good lord. How many times are you gonna tell me how great you sleep at night? I get it. You sleep like a baby. Fantastic to know. I'm just going to assume that you have no intention of actually addressing anything brought up today. That's fine.

I'm sorry you feel no responsibility for your words. Oh well. Luckily my sleep is also not determined by our interactions.

A word of advice. If you move on, so will everyone else. That means leaving behind your passive aggression and your victimhood. And your projected "butt hurt".

I didn't watch the speech but saw the quote on investigations, and that is scary. How far can it be from him saying the investigations need to stop to taking action to make them stop?

This is a bit of a thread derail, but the WaPo has posted the text of the SotU speech.
President Trump delivered his second State of the Union address on Tuesday night -- an address that had to wait for a week due to the government shutdown. And he delivered it at a time when the underlying issues in that shutdown like a border wall remain completely unresolved.

Below is the full speech, as prepared for delivery, with annotations and analysis. We will continue to update throughout the night. To see an annotation, click on the yellow, highlighted text.
