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
seapond 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.

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,
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.

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.
Posted by: Account Deleted | February 28, 2017 at 08:28 PM
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.

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."

... 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.
