I am not watching the SOTU tonight either, but would like to see the Democratic rebuttal so I need to find out how long the SOTU is scheduled to run so I can turn the tv on when it is over in time to see the rebuttal.
Voters need to trust the election process, regardless of who is operating the system. Mistakes were made in Iowa, and voters' confidence has been shaken. But people should not lose faith in our democracy. We must keep voting, while we demand accountability and improvement.
Our first contests must be representative of the American people as a whole. People of color have been loyal to the Democratic Party and deserve more of a voice in our primaries from the start. We can accomplish this by multiple states holding primaries the first day of voting.
I wish we would go back to paper ballots hand counted with onlookers from both sides. I like Oregon’s mail -in ballots without computers to be hacked into or apps to report the count.
Secondly I would like the rush of the media to report the winner to slow down and get it right instead of pushing being the first to report and call the vote. There is a built in timeframe when the general election turns over to the newly elected people anyway. It would benefit the West Coast, AK and HI so they could vote without having heard who the election was called for.
During its flyby of Pluto in 2015, NASA's New Horizons mission captured a now iconic image of a heart-shaped feature on the dwarf planet. And new research about Pluto's "frozen heart" has revealed that its heartbeat actually controls wind https://t.co/RNmxYQQEJP
Agree with you 100%. This woman and this president’s offspring are on his side everyday. They are enjoying every dime of his crooked activities. One thing they need not is to be free from him. Why should they?
I’m FORCING myself to watch the speech, as much as I can, only to see how Nancy Pelosi acts behind the sub-human shithead.
She just almost lost it with one of the shithead’s lies. So glad to see that. The good part is he will never diminish her ability to recognize truth over lies. Makes me doubly proud to be a Democrat.
Normally, I wouldn’t. But I heard the House Managers might be sitting together, so that was my first draw. And there they are, front and center, giving the clown the stare. But just now he’s really going on with the lies – total lies – so I have him muted.
I read that something is wrong with his teeth like they’re gonna fall out or they’re clacking together. You would think that with all the $$$ he funneled from all of us to himself that he could get some damn implants or something.
He’s so disgusting. Seemed more like he’s on some kind of drugs, slurring and all that. I have him muted now – and it’s more fun watching Nancy that way.
I remember one of Trump’s tweets criticizing Nancy Pelosi saying her false teeth were loose and she could not talk. One thing about Trump’s critical slurs is he usually seems to project onto his victim what is his own problem.
I finally muted the dictator and it’s more fun watching as Nancy speaks out loud to no one in particular, while smiling. I say no one because the guy sitting next to her is actually a puppet.
How ‘bout we start with the Central Park Five, mix in a little “there are good people on both sides” and top it off with some “shithole countries”. Mystery solved. https://t.co/Vt6xeSvRRV
Here's real weekly earnings for blue-collar, manufacturing workers: FALLING in real terms. Is this is a boom, Mr. President, I'd hate to see the bust. #SOTUpic.twitter.com/HJAbdeqQuh
Looks like the some of men who are guests of Trump / Repubs are wearing red ties. The soldier’s widow is in a red dress. I am sensing PP supporters … maybe??
Just read the entire feed. The man lies like a rug. Poor Daniel Dale must have carpal tunnel by now.
What's striking is that, as so often, these are overwhelmingly false and misleading claims I've fact checked (and others have fact checked) before. Fact-checking Trump is a lotta copying and pasting. https://t.co/mXLwRoAaVI
I won't be attending #SOTU this evening. I can't stomach all the lies. .@repjohnlewis said 3 years ago @realDonaldTrump is not a legitimate president — and John has been proven right time & time again. Trump got elected w/ foreign help & now he's solicited foreign help for 2020.
May this be the last time the worst, most corrupt president in our history speaks to a joint session of Congress, his last State of the Union, and the last ever such a shameful display of cheap theatrics, massive lies and an entire party celebrating its own criminality.
The president just bloviated for an hour and a half and Nancy Pelosi in a few seconds put him and his empty words in their place and gave the media the moment the evening will be remembered for long after Trump's speech is forgotten. Who's the media master now?
1. Eleven years ago today, police shot Amadou Diallo 41 times in the doorway of his own building as he held up his wallet to identify himself. The ensuing outrage paved the way for a national conversation on implicit bias and policing.
2. As we awake to the mess in Iowa and all we fear it could mean about the future of voting rights in our democracy, let us not forget the reason elections matter. Those we elect are responsible for rules that govern how we live with each other.
3. At a time when policing is often an afterthought or a political prop, I hope today, in the lull of this circus, we might remember what parts of our democracy we have chosen to leave unfinished, and to rededicate ourselves to the work of perfecting our union.
4. Those who lose loved ones often find their hearts have no choice but to do what all of us can and should: become champions for the world we wish we lived in, but do not yet.https://t.co/mEaiyxOg6V
When @realDonaldTrump spoke on the second amendment Fred Guttenberg , a patent of a victims of the Parkland school shooting shouted out and was ejected from the speech.

A "YOU LIE" moment just erupted, as DEMs chanted over trump "HR3! HR3," which is a bill that gives Medicare the power to negotiate directly with the drug companies.
You're offering nothing to the necessary conversation. Speak up against trump – not lack of courtesy or formal regard – if you care about this country. This isn't a book about etiquette we're writing. We're fighting back against a narcissistic, dangerous authoritarian. cc @MSNBC
Subjects not mentioned in last nights speech. Climate change, the deficit, North Korea, Russia, Ukraine, election interference, impeachment, gun violence and his vaunted Middle East peace plan.
Like he did anything monumental. Takes credit for the economy that was already booming when he was installed.
Does anyone even remember the financial crisis Obama pulled us out of anymore? It feels like at least half of the country has a very short memory. https://t.co/zxGqq1s9FA
This week has been a farce so far, from the SOTU to Iowa. But today it turns deadly serious. The Senate GOP is going to acquit the most corrupt president in American history and gut the Constitution while they are at it. The damage they do may be irreparable. A dark day.
We’ve been living a farce since 2016, which has been highlighted by the Mueller report and the Senate-controlled impeachment. The only pleasant moments have been every time Speaker Pelosi got the best of the president, i.e. 1) when she forced him to swallow his shut-down, and 2) when she was pictured standing up to him in the WH, schooling him with her finger pointed directly to him and to his minions sitting across. Other than that, the farce is going well.
Rep. Veronica Escobar, delivering the Spanish response to the State of the Union last night, decried the president's immigration policies and linked his rhetoric to the mass-shooting at a Walmart in her El Paso district. https://t.co/cg1VG4hyMG

School Counselors are very Important …they can make or break a child’s dreams

I totally agree with Stacy Abrams 100%.

Especially for our science girl 🙂
So cool! 😃
got that right
In lieu of a massive and fatal heart attack or stroke. That would be tidy and it would FREE MELANIA AND her son! We’ll deal with Pence.
Free Melania? Like she doesn’t agree with him? I don’t think so. Birther Mama is just fine with this. Don’t let her fool you.
Agree with you 100%. This woman and this president’s offspring are on his side everyday. They are enjoying every dime of his crooked activities. One thing they need not is to be free from him. Why should they?
So unfair, without warning….LOL! We’ve lost so much.

You’re a saint. No way I could listen to that POS lie for an hour

You are really brave my friend Jacqueline. 🙂
Muted the last half, but got to see Nancy rip up her copy of his speech before he left the podium. Yeehaw.
Republicans don’t lie to be believed. They lie to be repeated.
From LOLGOP Twitter banner. Remember it. Know it.
Speaker Pelosi’s expressions are cute.
I finally muted the dictator and it’s more fun watching as Nancy speaks out loud to no one in particular, while smiling. I say no one because the guy sitting next to her is actually a puppet.
Unfortunately I am listening to it. This should be called the SOTUL … state of the union lies.
Oh, Lord! They’re “mystified!”
*******
Some democrats were chanting … though I can’t understand what they chanted.
I must say that I really appreciate the comments from those of you brave enough to watch. Thank you all.
Because of course he was lying about this
PP praising (for lack of better word) ICE … thrashing sanctuary city.
I wish someone had shouted Merrick Garland … when PP said “two brilliant judges to the supreme court” referring to gorsuch and boofing Kavanaugh.
He mentions the # of conservative judges appointed and says there are more judges in the pipeline.
Looks like the some of men who are guests of Trump / Repubs are wearing red ties. The soldier’s widow is in a red dress. I am sensing PP supporters … maybe??
He is thanking the servicemen … or should I say his bonespurs thank him.
Thank them … I meant.
SOTU is like an entertainment show.
Just read the entire feed. The man lies like a rug. Poor Daniel Dale must have carpal tunnel by now.
Whats Kristen Sinema. Claps along, gives a standing ovation. I wobder how much of a democrat she really is.
Sorry about the typos.
So disappointed in her.
Dem senator in reddish/purple state but FFS!
NANCY PELOSI STOOD UP AND RIPPED UP HER COPY OF THE SOTU SPEECH BEFORE TRUMP LEFT THE PODIUM.
It was glorious.
I loooooooved it!!! 🙂
🙂
It is over.
Good for him
Rrrrrrip! 😁
Love it!
❤️ belongs in the ash in of history
Nancy, in that rip moment, is all my feelings combined! 💞☕
My Rep 😃
Do Impartial Justice you cowards!
I believe that’s because that is the normal temperature when you use one those electronic ear thermometer.
That’s supposed to be one of those electronic ear thermometers.
This
And this:)
Nice.
She meant “parent”, not “patent”
Did the Democrats respond to the SOTU yet?
Thx Dudette.
Boom!
Well, Well!!! That’s interesting Dudette.
Quite interesting!
I am disappointed to see the low support for VP Biden in Iowa.
G’night TODville.
Fabulous!
Oh, no! What about Trump? Why didn’t he get the Prize? He saved Planet Earth from aliens!
THIS…
Morning everyone
Speaker Pelosi

Like he did anything monumental. Takes credit for the economy that was already booming when he was installed.
