    Trump's State of the Union Aims for a Unifying Tone

    This, I gotta see!

    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

    If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

    This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

      He might surprise us by taking out a very sharp knife and cutting off his little finger, Yazuka style, while screaming something about all the lost children.

        No argument.

            It doesn't matter what tone Trump tries to set, liberals are going to caterwaul and reject anything he has to say before he even steps up to the podium.

            Case in point:

            See what I mean?
            Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
            But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
            Than a fool in the eyes of God

              That's not fair. You have no evidence whatsoever that... they would... ever do...

                  I wonder who she had to sleep with to arrange for that?

                      About that....

                      Can Stacey Abrams break the curse when she delivers the Democratic response to Trump's State of the Union?

                        Two points
                        • Georgia is no longer a deep red state but is decidedly purple
                        • She left a bad taste in many people's mouths (including among a number of those who voted for her) after the last election as a result of her bitterness and refusal to concede

                          I watched about 20-minutes of it. Seemed like a good speech. Trump made an excellent case for border security, and talked up the economy, noting that over 50% of newly created jobs have gone to women. That actually got the Democrats on their feet who had been stubbornly sitting up to that point, and Trump pointed to them and said, "You weren't supposed to do that!" Then when they started to take their seats, Trump said, "Oh, don't sit yet, you're going to like this next part," and then he mentioned that there are more women serving in Congress today than at any other time in US history which earned him another rousing round of applause followed by all of Congress shouting "USA! USA!"

                            Quite a few 'united' Standing O's for that.... even cheering from the left.

                              I missed the explanation for why a bunch of the liberals are wearing white.
