Firing Up For The Big Speech

Let's see if Trump can make addresses to Congress great again!

Obviously we can expect Democratic publicity hounds to #Resist with one or more outrageous stunts. My guess is that we will NOT see any Dems light themselves on fire like a Buddhist monk, but here's hoping!

EXIT QUESTION: Sure, anyone can punch a neo-Nazi in the face as long as he's alone and you're with a mob. But would you set yourself on fire to stop Hitler? Hmm...

Dems will bring a Buddist monk and hand him gasoline and matches.

I expect a sea pond of pussy hats on the House floor for the event.

Lots of Mexican flags in the gallery (aforementioned pussy hat wearers invited illegales as guests).

I would not be surprised to see an illegale or dos chain and lock their heads to the railing. (As in Madison).

Attempts to occupoop the rotunda should be expected.

Boring chants (shame, etc) at random intervals.

Perhaps a koombaya round or two.

Aside from throwing nails in the WH driveway or dumping beer on McTurtles head that is the full Madison.

Napalm in the evening?

[Beasts of England]

There will be drama, henry.

[narciso]

Even more vapors

Have they not read 'moon is a harsh mistress'

[Jim Eagle]

Didn't know we had a new thread.

When is the POTUS speech?

Don't know if I can stay up too late.

[peter]

Sounds like Levin got advance word that Trump will go squishy on immigration. I hope that he is wrong.

peter,

Art of the Deal. Offer a carrot just to start the negotiations for what you really want. Another mirror adjustment.

[peter]

jib, from your comment on the other thread about food network, you're right, just about everything is pc these days, sports, every damn thing.

[Jim Eagle]

peter,

Everywhere I go its PC. Even the History Channel, NatGeo (the worst so far). I even ran into the other day on Animal Network, something about Elephants and Donkeys. Give me a break.

[jimmyk]

From the last couple of threads: Happy Anniversary maryrose, Happy Birthday Buckeye!

[narciso]

Yes not geo is where I got my 'sky dragon' image.

[Another Bob]

Peter, lots of folks got advance word.

Trump insider guy did express concern that Trump needs to play it carefully to not be seen going back of campaign promises.

[Neo]

Barack and Michelle Obama whipped the literary world into a frenzy with the news that the former president and first lady were getting to work on new books, and now they have found a publisher.

Just a few hours after multiple people with knowledge of the joint publishing deal told the Financial Times that bidding had surpassed $60million, The New York Times reveals that the couple has inked a deal with Penguin Random House.

[narciso]

What is the point of such a payout?

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

This woman thinks you could drop rocks onto Earth from the Moon.

We really need to compile a list of these amazing scientific facts that the democrats know, like Guam tipping over.

[Jim Eagle]

Off to bed. I know its early but a heavy day of workouts and WINE!

Need to contemplate the state of the union without the loyal opposition ruining it for me.

Ciao!

[narciso]

That's why I referenced heinlein, the tansafl rebels of Luna federation. Used mass drivers against their terran masters

[Pagar, a bacon ham and Pork chop supporter]

narciso, you beat me to it. IMO, any over the $3 that Barnes and Noble usually put on their final closeout will be wasted. He will not even be able to get the State Dept to pay full price for them.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

narciso,

If you are referring to the book deal I have always felt that those book deals are a way to channel money to the "authors."

I imagine a large portion of that bidding is backed by the Saudis, who will no doubt order millions of books and then stack them in the desert.

We will be told it is a HUGE, record-breaking best seller.

Meanwhile, the same 20 books will remain in the book stores for months.

[narciso]

You know who is a vice president are random house, don't you, Jon mecham, who wrote that odious bush sr memoir.

[Clarice Feldman]

about the speech tonight from Taranto's replacement.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Clarice,

Can't get into that without a Yahoo account.

[Clarice Feldman]

Actually, I don't think the Saudis like Obama that much. But these book deals are stupid and leave no money for budding authors.

Criminalize welfare benefit fraud. Deport those perps and the hard-core felons. Mass migrations out of the country.

The carrot is "if you are working a job etc etc you can stay."

Has to cut the remittance payments from welfare checks. That $10 billion plus has to stay in the country.

We'll see how it unfolds.

[Account Deleted]

I don't think POTUS will go with a mass shamnesty bill. Even Reagan fell for that.

Has to empower ICE to move against everybody who is here illegally. Cut the funding to "immigrant" rights legal services.

Apply pressure,cut benefits, and throw criminals out with a binding threat if they return.

At least start checking people's identities. That will send the right message. Go after the hardcore offenders and the welfare frauds.

[redact] the EmoCrats.

[lyle]

I stand with Kev.

[Dave (in MA)]

Glad I didn't read Howie Carr's Twitter feed while I was eating.

[Free James D!]

Happy birthday, Buckeye!

[narciso]

The people of the kingdom are not a monolith, there's the 3000-5000 princes a top heavy retinue even for czarist Russia, king salman is off the old guard like brother nayef but his son
Is somewhat of a moderate, alas he was sidelined partially from that Attack in 2009, he sees more daylight with pompeo than with brennan.

[cheerleader]

fantastic coverage at www.cspan.org

[narciso]

Then there are the people, who come from those tribes in the link I but up last night on biblical history, they hew in large part to that old wahhabi religion

[David, Infamous Deplorable]

Miss Marple, as Narciso alludes to upthread, this is a reference to "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress," where the lunar colonists break away from the Earth by turning a magnetic catapult that normally shoots steel containers full of rice and wheat down to Earth to help feed the hungry billions, into a weapon. They target the containers at sites on Earth containing military installations. The gravity imbalance between the Moon and the Earth is significant. It doesn't take much to escape the gravitational pull of the Moon, and the things accelerate all the way "downhill," hitting with a fair fraction of the energy of a nuclear bomb. If you are interested in the base concept, look up "kinetic bombardment weapons."

[Threadkiller]

I will support Trump's walking back of any perceived immigration promise as long as he stops at the exact moment Levin's head falls off.

That is the kind of balance I am looking for.

[lyle]

Dang it. My favorite uncle--for the longest time in my childhood I thought my ONLY uncle--just passed today at age 90. Army colonel, three tours of Nam, helluva guy who relentlessly emailed the best jokes (a few of which I've shared here) but as he grew older sent some really touching stuff--pictures of wildlife, dogs and beautiful landscapes. Vayas con Dios, me tio.

Hug all your elderly loved ones for me, k? Thanks.

[Threadkiller]

Condolences, lyle.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

David,

I read that book in high school, I think. Heinlein, right?

I had forgotten all about it until you broght it up.

I don't think that representative read the book, though.

[narciso]

Sorry to hear that Lyle.

Yes that's the one. David, I was referring to, 'mistress' is being optioned into a film, by ugh Brian singer.

[Marlene]

The Democrat women are wearing white because the suffragettes wore white. Trump is threatening women's rights or something.

[Buckeye]

Lyle, always good to hear about someone living a good life. Sorry that you have lost your uncle, but sounds as though he left his "mark" on you.

[Marlene]

My sympathy,lyle.

[David, Infamous Deplorable]

I think it must be a reference to the book, they call it "throwing rocks," there, while most people use "dropping rods" or "dropping crowbars," these days.

David

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

I see the democrat women are wearing white because sexism or something.

[Porchlight]

Very sorry to hear that, lyle.

[daddy]

Barack and Michelle Obama... former president and first lady were getting to work on new books, and now they have found a publisher.
... bidding had surpassed $60 million, The New York Times reveals...

Odd how I linked that in that 1940 story about Elsie The Cow traveling to Hollywood to make a movie and then to return to New York via Texas stopovers on a Bordon's Milk Publicity campaign, it was going to cost $15,000, and the only guy mad was some Communist complaining about the waste of money. Now we're paying Communists $60 Million for ghost written memoirs.

Geez.

[narciso]

Of course brianna is one of the crazes that miloo railed against, yes space holds prospects for awesome weapons but if the us, abstains other powers will not.

[Porchlight]

Mexican Oatmeal Soup sighting.

[David, Infamous Deplorable]

Daddy, I wonder if Bill Ayers is going to write this one, too.

David

[lyle]

He was the closest thing to a second dad to me. Outlived my own dad by 22 years. Love you, uncle Frank.

[Porchlight]

Brianna Wu is neither female nor Asian, according to The_Donald.

[Texas Liberty Gal]

Happy Anniversary maryrose

[henry]

Sorry to hear Lyle.

[Beasts of England]

Sorry for your loss, lyle.

[David, Infamous Deplorable]

"We must not have an Orbital Bombardment Gap!"

David

[sbw]

I don’t see Justices Ginsburg or Thomas.

[Janet 🚬]

The Democrat women are wearing white because the suffragettes wore white.

The MFM advertised that for them. Who would notice if the MFM didn't amplify the Dems. coordinated show?

[sbw]

Melania Trump wearing black.

[lyle]

Ryan and Pence look like they share the same haberdasher.

[sbw]

Just because some people wear white doesn’t the MSM has to do summersaults.

[lyle]

Thanks, all. You people are the greatest.

[henry]

Shemp has the same tie as Pence & Ryan

[henry]

Sadly, Shemp does not have laryngitis.

[sbw]

lyle, I have found that those who made a difference in my life are as alive to me today as they were before they passed. My condolences.

[Dave (in MA)]

Sorry, lyle.

[daddy]

I will be watching the speech on RT Russia Today. I cannot handle the obnoxiousness evident just in clicking on CNN and on the BBC. Wish me luck.

[Beasts of England]

On time!

[henry]

It's gotta be better than Fox daddy.

[Beasts of England]

Hello, Melania!! Woot!

[daddy]

Crap. Russia Today has a bad feed. The screen keeps freezing, so I've moved on over to the Al Jazira Channel for the speech.

[henry]

Shemp is bubbly over immigration compromise... idiot.

[jimmyk]

Condolences, lyle.

[Marlene]

The ladies in white aren't clapping. Sad.

[daddy]

Al Jaziarh talking head says this speech needs to be a Home Run and there is no way he can pull it off. Russia Today talking head said Trump is a Rock Star and it doesn't make a difference what he says since middle American loves the Trump spectacle and the Left and Alt Left hate him so much they have already written his obituaries and the stories on this speech.

If you see a non-suffering suffragette, thank a Republican.

[PD]

Begins with civil rights and the work that still needs to be done. Illustrates it by referring to recent occurrences of anti-semitism.

[lyle]

MAGA! My uncle Frank would be proud, Mr. President.

[Janet 🚬]

He's doing great. His message SO resonates with me.

[PD]

Nancy looks cadaverous.

[Dave (in MA)]

Granny Pelosi is anti-jobs.

[Texas Liberty Gal]

So sorry for your loss lyle

[daddy]

Pelosi looks like death warmed over.

[daddy]

He had me at "and our First Lady."

[PD]

Maybe now that Colmes has passed, Nancy's looking to fill the Skeletor position.

[Davod]

"Crap. Russia Today has a bad feed. The screen keeps freezing,"

Putin?

[lyle]

Drop the last two words of your last comment, daddy, for verisimilitude.

[daddy]

Paul and Mike Pence have some nice smiles on their faces tonight.

Liz Warren didn't get the message about "wear White."

[Dave (in MA)]

Red Squaw must've left her white suit in her teepee.

[PD]

Trump mentioned starting businesses and living out dreams.

The feed then cut to Warren, who had a questioning look on her face.

If you had the captioning on, you saw that Warren said this: "'Business'? What is this strange language he is using? I don't understand this goobledegook."

[Momto2]

The Wall!!!

And he said it! - Radical Islamic Terrorism!!!

[Dave (in MA)]

Any sightings of virtue-signaling diaper pins on virtue-signaling white suits, or is that passé already?

[daddy]

"We must restore the Rule of Law at out borders.

We will begin the construction of a great, great wall, along our southern border.!!!! Woot, woot, woot!

"Our obligation is to serve, protect, and defend our citizens... from Radical Islamic Terrorism."

[henry]

Wall, deportations, vetting. What compromise?

[Dave (in MA)]

Head fake, henry?

[Momto2]

"Extinguish this violent enemy from our planet! "

[henry]

Isreal good, Iran bad.

[Dave (in MA)]

When does he get around to the global warming causes Isis stuff?

[daddy]

Straight, bold, and to the point. Hard hitting and on the money. Lot of great lines in there. Loved the one about it not being compassion to let in people we can't vet or trust, and that we have to not let Terrorists get a beachhead inside America.
