As a non-partisan, I saw the SOTU address as a declaration of war...

    Then my kids are all safe. He has done several such things. Wait until 2021 when he is no longer President and they can indict him for all the obstructions outlined in the Mueller Report.

    The only thing Trump teaches the left is that playing cricket while your opponent plays Australian Rules football is a fools game. The right has been conditioned to see the left as tepid opponents unwilling to tear down the house to save the baby. It is my hope that this lesson finally gets through to the next Dem POTUS and that person declares war on all things conservative. Take no prisoners, go low when they go low and lets stop the bedwetting, this is not a parlor game we are playing here. Peoples lives are at stake and I am sorry Michelle but its time to fight fire with fire.

    I'm not commenting on your non-partisaned butt. I'm commenting about the SOTU.

    I didn't see the SOTU as acidic at all. It really was the most Presidential speech he has given to date.

    But, I can see from a liberals perspective how one of you may think that.

    Wrong it becomes law after thirty days whether the president signs it or not. The predident has no such pocket veto. That's why presidents almost always sign them.

    But, he does have the power of a veto, if he sends in back within ten days of receipt, with his objections.

    It would seem to me that the State of the Union has changed in original purpose...namely to deliver to Congress a report on the policies of the past year and to suggest policies for the coming year, to one wherein the bounty of the Lord is expressed and supplications fulfilled for the righteous: "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless." [Psalm 84:11].
    Biblical showmanship...which will please his base. I believe Limbaugh even gave him a prayful bow, with hands clasped.
    From Jefferson to Wilson...a letter sufficed. But Donald is the Sun King and as the last one said: "I am the State."

    What's left fringe cultism? How is it different than supporting this president unconditionally no matter how many lies he tells or how often he abuses he office?

    Have you ever watched a Trump rally? You don't see that as cultish?

    Nope. Basic civics. A budget bill can’t go to the president to sign, until its passed by the senate. Seriously, did you pay attention AT ALL in 6th grade?

    it helps if you read your own links before posting lol.

    Err... that is pretty much the entire point of the SOTU, as stated in the constitution. How's it going and what do you think we should do next.

    "give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."[1]

    Nope. A budget is a bill like any other. It can not
    Become law until signed by the president. If he doesn’t sign, the government shuts down. It’s happened numerous times in the past 30 years.

    I swear all righties just completely skipped the 6th grade.

    Jefferson thought it too much an opportunity for demagoguery...and IMO...we hit a new high in that respect yesterday.

    So I get called everything from a commie to a fascist on a daily basis, so why don't you tell me what I am since you seem to know more about me than I do.

    Ahhh... but you didn't say the SOTU wasn't how Jefferson envisioned it. The original intent is what is in the document. There were lots of heated discussions on what that intent should be.
