Last night, Nancy Pelosi told a lie. She said, “the President of the United States”. I looked at the screen, but there was no President there, just the criminal Resident Donald Trump”* Then his lies began, as soon as he began to speak, and I knew this would be no SOTU. It was the State of the Republican Reich.
Nancy Pelosi’s hands told the story of a nauseating night in Washington.
As Donald Trump took his place at the front of the House chamber for his third and possibly final State of the Union address, the House speaker and most senior Democrat in Congress reached out for a handshake, only to be rebuffed.
Seventy-eight minutes later, Pelosi, as she often tends to, got her revenge by ripping up her copy of the president’s speech while still in her position on the dais.
You could cut the atmosphere with a knife. Pelosi was the mastermind of Trump’s impeachment in this very chamber just weeks ago, staining his record in future school textbooks for all time.
But somehow, with seven of the Democrats who had pressed the impeachment case against him as impeachment managers glaring up at him from a prominent position, the president, like Bill Clinton before him, managed to resist using the “i” word throughout his speech. That, at least, was a departure from his gloves-off campaign rallies.
Yet Trump being forced to suppress his id was somehow even worse. The tension, grievance and resentment seething below the surface was almost palpable. The president’s tissue of lies and partisan swipes left Democrats heckling, throwing up their hands or walking out of the chamber in despair… [emphasis added]

Fuhrer Trump’s* speech was wall-to-wall lies!
Here are seven notable lies that Trump told during the speech:
1. “We will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions.”
This one was flagged by CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale before Trump began speaking. Republicans, despite claiming credit for President Barack Obama’s achievement at passing into law protections for people with pre-existing health conditions, are in fact backing a lawsuit that seeks to dismantle those protections.
2. “Thanks to our bold regulatory reduction campaign, the United States has become the #1 producer of oil and natural gas in the world, by far.”
Dale flagged this one as false too, explaining: “The US became #1 in 2012, under Obama, though its advantage has grown under Trump.”

I shared two. Click through for the other five.
Joe Scarborough covered Trump’s* lies and more.
Joe: How Do You Call It A Good Speech If It’s Fed By Lies?
Spot-on! As for Flush Limbarf, soon he’ll get to show his medal to Injustice Antonin Scalia!
CNN had a good panel, with one thoroughly vile exception!
Acosta: A state of the base speech, not a State of the Union speech
They had Frothy, aka “Man on Dog” on the panel?!!? Santorum is “the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex”. Otherwise it was a good panel! And it was the State of the Republican Reich!
Finally, not everyone there was evil.
Here’s why Democrats chanted ‘H.R.3’ in the middle of Trump’s State of the Union speech
The women in white, including Nancy Pelosi, were the heroes of the event. Trump* and his Republican Reich were the villains.
RESIST!!

I watched snippets of the SOTU, I just can’t listen to this id for extended periods. BUT I did get some snippets that I’ll share w/you. lol
Yes, lies, lies and more lies. All.The.Time.
Ripping up dt’s SOTU speech – “Because it was the courteous thing to do considering the alternative.” ~ Speaker Nancy Pelosi ~
2. The moment of Rush Limbaugh receiving the Medal of Freedom should show a backdrop of the MoF clip of him making fun of M.J. Fox’s Parkinsons disease. ~ Shari W. ~
3. re: the ignored handshake from Ms. Pelosi: DT pulled the same behavior w/ Angela Merkel a few years a few years ago when she was our guest here in the U.S. He’s NOT done that to a man, very disrespectful but also shows his fear of powerful women.” ~ Cheryl M. ~
4. dt’s SOTU speech…..’Stankshuary’ and ‘repispossity’. ~ pb ~
**While sitting there listening to him speak (dt) last night, and lie continuously, of him, and his cronies and administration, I thought of my comeback and this is what I would have said (military slang)……
‘He deserves a total and complete ‘Alpha Charlie’ for the ‘Charlie Foxtrot’ he says/does Everyday!! *pb
Apparently one poor journalist wore white and will never be forgicien by his base. (And that’s all the proof they need to start new cnspiracy theories about the “liberal media.”)
I – or probably anyone here – could make a more accurate speech in three words – “children in cages.” (Come to think of it, J Lo just did exactly that, with NO words.)
I’ve always enjoyed Speaker Pelosi’s chutzpah. And she proves, again, she can go toe-to-toe w/ *Rump – especially on spur of the moment symbolic theatrics!
Don’t get mad – get even! VOTE!
Limbaugh is the reason Trump is resident. He is the one who signaled to his listeners (30,000,000?) that “Trump is our man!! in 2016.
POS pontificating!
Romney apparently, reportedly, scuttled a Trump salute after the SOTU.
I didn’t watch it.
I like Nancy knows he only speaks fake news.
I stand behind Nancy for doing that. Like she mentioned it was all full of lies. Power to her.
Like the photo of the real tRump….Pinocchio.
The Impeachment trial, the SOTU, the medal for Limbaugh during the SOTU, Trump’s acquittal finalized…I’m not even American and my depression has hit a new low.
🤮🤮🤮
Thanks, too pooped Hugs, and Amen to all!
