The State of Our Union
« on: January 28, 2018, 07:46:15 PM »
It’s getting better, fellas. Economy on rocket fuel. Trump is gonna win so hard Tuesday night.

Thing I’m most looking forward to: Trump inviting a DREAMer to attend and telling him or her that we are so close to finally achieving immigration reform including a path to citizenship, stronger border enforcement, and badly needed reforms - if the Democrats will join us.

Second thing I’m looking forward to: Maxine Waters’ rebuttal on BET (seriously, I’m setting my DVR for this).

How many Trump statements will be punctuated by a big NY “buleeve me”?

How many networks will attempt some sort of “live fact check”?

Will RBG attend?

Who will the Dems choose to give their speech? Obviously needs to be a woman and hispanic. Who does that leave? (Edit: they picked a white guy.... but he’s a Kennedy! Going back to that well. Talk about white privilege!)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

You'll have Pence...you'll be fine bud....just think of the relief that will be off your shoulders having to constantly carry Trump's water.

Maxine is giving the response.  Just got me thinking about her.

No she isn't. Lil Joey Kennedy, the Democratic failson got the nod.

She's doing a special response on BET. They picked a safe, white, male, Kennedy for the national audience.

Why even have a Democrat respond when the liberal media is already going to call Trump on all his lies, right KSUW?

Trump has been a more immediate boon for the markets, but actual business expansion takes longer to roll out (building new factories, ramping up production, etc). Job creation has been ok but not great in Trump’s first year. But as we approach “full employment” that number can be expected to lag a bit. Wage growth will be the more relevant stat. And I expect wage growth will do quite well as Trump’s tax reform kicks in. Bottom line is that 2017 was a strong year for the economy and likely set the stage for a significantly better 2018.

I expect the “fact checking” will be more along the lines of “yeah, but...” Kind of like this thread.

It’s all identity politics all the time for the Dems. Mad Maxine gets to give a speech - on BET. She needs to know her place.

In one year we went from"unemployment number is a lie" to "job creation number will lag as we are at full employment"

Great stuff

The designated survivor thing is always a chilling reminder that it’s actually pretty dangerous having so many people who run this country in the same place at the same time

Trump taking so many laps on tax reform I hope he’s not getting dizzy.

For those playing the drinking game at home: “winning” 0. “buhleeve me” 0. Keep your glasses ready.
