The 2019 State of the Union address was a majestic, eloquent and powerful “Reaganesque” defense of American values that people haven’t heard in a really long period of time.
President Donald Trump, aka “Bad Orange Man” appeared before a divided Congress to appeal to lawmakers’ sense of unity at a moment of deepening partisan spite.
His calls for conciliation were met with mostly stone-faced silence from Democrats, who bitterly oppose his agenda and accuse him of hastening the decline in cross-party cooperation.
It was his first time addressing the Democratic-majority House, and his political nemesis, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, offered timid applause reluctantly with pursed lips while sucking on her dentures.
“We must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution,” Trump told Congress near the beginning of his State of the Union address, claiming in his speech that he is putting forward “the agenda of the United States.”
Yet it didn’t take long for Trump’s “irritation” at Democrats to rise to the surface.
“An economic miracle is taking place in the United States and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous partisan investigations,” the President said to only a smattering of applause. “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn’t work that way!”
Democrats have promised they will use new investigative powers to probe everything from Trump’s tax returns to his policy decisions to members of his Cabinet.
The special counsel Robert Mueller is also continuing his look into the Russian meddling “hoax” during the 2016 election.
My, how times have changed. Not too long ago, Democrats were expected to wear “white” at meetings and social event!
This very image was taken near Chicago, and proves the point! Follow Nan and the “white dresses women,” vote as they vote, do as they do and you won’t go wrong.
Throughout the speech, stone-faced Pelosi sat with pursed or puckered lips and a grim expression on her face, sucking on her dentures, rolling her eyes and shaking her head as if Trump spewed lie after lie, with a few bombastic partial truths thrown in for good measure.
Shuffling printout papers of Trump’s speech in her hand, the “Queen of Condescending Applause,” was bordering on rude as if the entire speech was a bit of “gristle” that must be endured before it could be discreetly “spit” into a napkin.
As I was carefully watching what Auntie Nan “applauded” and what she did not, it didn’t really tell me what she “thought” about things and stuff.
But since Nan is so much “smarter” than everyone else and knows what’s “best” for America, I think it is a good thing to follow her lead in what she “hates or loves.”
Nan hates African Americans, Latinos, and Asian having jobs. These sort of people should not have jobs, at least so it seems from Nan’s complete lack of enthusiasm when the record low unemployment numbers were spoken. She did not clap any at all at this news, so it must be a bad thing. Handicapped people shouldn’t have jobs either, for the same reason. Bad Orange Man was very bad to talk about these people having more jobs.
Nan also hates it when people get off food stamps. Being dependent on the government to put food on your table is a good thing and getting people able to feed themselves is bad. It is also bad to lower taxes, because that would mean less money to spend on keeping people on food stamps. Nan did not clap for people getting off food stamps.
Nan hates America producing so much energy that it exports it. I think this may have something to do with her hating African Americans and Latinos and Asians getting jobs, but I’m not sure about that. It may be that she hates American winning. She didn’t clap for that, either. Of course, it doesn’t really matter if I understand why it is bad. It is enough the Nan hates it for me to hate it, too.
Nan is dead set against confirming nominations. Instead of either an up vote or a down vote, she doesn’t want to have any votes. Nominations are bad, and confirming them is worse.
Nan hates the idea of reforming the Veteran’s Administration. This could be because she hates anyone who says a government healthcare program is not running at tip-top efficiency and providing top-notch service. It could also be because she thinks soldiers are icky and don’t deserve good health care. So what if a veteran has to wait a couple of years to get a CAT scan? They always talk about how tough soldiers are, right? They can take it!
Nan really hates the idea of border security and legal immigration. She is so generous and loving, isn’t she? On the other hand, she really likes drug dealers, coyotes, and human traffickers, because she didn’t clap once when Bad Orange Man said they were bad people. She hates any kind of border wall because it is immoral and a waste of taxpayer money. She already has a wall around her house, so we don’t need another one.
Nan hates other countries paying their share of NATO bills. If those countries have to pay for guns and tanks and planes and soldiers, how will they have enough money to feed and house and entertain the people who are flooding into Europe from other places? In the same way, she hates the idea of charging tariffs based on what other countries charge us. That’s just not fair. She didn’t clap for any of these things.
But just in case you think Nan only hates stuff, she also sat silent on some other things that Bad Orange Man said that proves she does love some stuff.
Nan loves killing babies that have just been born. When Bad Orange Man talked bad about New York and Virginia passing or trying to pass laws that protect babies that are about to be born, or babies that got born anyway, she looked mad. She didn’t clap even a little bit.
Nan also loves partisan investigations. These make America strong, I guess, and what’s the use of having an FBI if you can’t use it to cripple your political opponents?
Nan loves socialism. She looked like she had just bitten into a cat turd thinking it was a tootsie roll when Bad Orange Man declared that “America will never be a Socialist country” which is grounds for impeachment.
Nan loves Iran having nuclear weapons, and she loves the idea of Genocide for Israel. I guess those two just go together.
I sure am glad I watched Nan while “Bad Orange Man” lectured Democrats on Mueller, Illegal immigration and Socialism.
Now I know what to “hate” and what to “like” and I don’t even have to “think” about it.
But it wasn’t until the end of Trump’s “harangue” that the woman who sits third in line to the presidency issued a literal profanity “fuck you clap” to the president on national television and in front of a room full of the country’s most powerful people.
