Sarah Huckabee Sanders Proofreads State of the Union One Last Time to Remove Any Remaining Facts

WASHINGTON —The White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is proofreading the text of tonight’s State of the Union address one last time to remove any remaining facts, Sanders confirmed on Tuesday.

While a team of wordsmiths led by the senior adviser

Stephen Miller has attempted to craft an entirely fact-free address, “

It’s good to have a fresh set of eyes to root out any stray accuracies that might have crept in,”

Sanders said.

The press secretary said that, for example, while purging the speech of truths, she noticed a reference to the

African-American unemployment rate standing at 6.8 per cent, a statistic that she deemed “unacceptably correct.”

“I read that and my Sanders sense started tingling,” she said.

Taking her blue pencil to the text, Sanders

changed the number to a “better-sounding” 2.3 per cent.

“That may seem like a tiny detail, but it’s

stuff like that that separates the professional liars from the mere amateurs,” she said.

Once Sanders is

confident that she has obliterated any lingering traces of reality from the script,

she will forward it to Donald J.

Trump, who will insert misspellings.

“It makes him more comfortable reading it on the teleprompter if things are spelled his way,”

she said.

The prospect of delivering tonight’s speech appears to have energized

Trump, who tweeted early Tuesday morning that

he was “very much looking forward to the Steak of the Onion.”

DEMOCRATS TROLL TRUMP WITH THEIR STATE OF THE UNION GUESTS

The president was the first to weaponize the political plus-one. Now, the 2020 field is getting into the action.

in an era of political showmanship, when a pair of sunglasses can drive an entire news cycle (https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/12/13/nancy-pelosi-sunglasses-trump-meeting-moos-ebof-pkg-vpx.cnn), Democrats are leaning into the troll.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez plans to bring Ana Maria Archila, the activist who famously shouted down Sen. Jeff Flake in an elevator during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, to Trump’s Tuesday address.

Other representatives will bring former and current undocumented immigrants,

who either worked at a Trump golf resort or as Trump’s housekeeper;

parents of victims of the Parkland mass shooting,

as well as a Parkland survivor;

and a climate-change advocate.

According to The New York Times,

many Democrats will wear white (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/04/us/politics/trump-democrats-state-of-the-union.html), the color of the women’s suffrage movement,

in a show of solidarity against Trump.

Here’s who they’re bringing to the State of the Union on Tuesday night, per Politico (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/04/2020-dem-sotu-guests-1145521) and The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/activist-who-confronted-jeff-flake-over-kavanaugh-will-attend-state-of-the-union/2019/02/04/92b1a8d0-2893-11e9-b2fc-721718903bfc_story.html):



Sen. Kamala Harris: Trisha Pesiri-Dybvik, a furloughed air traffic controller who lost her home during the 2017 California wildfires.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren: Sajid Shahriar, a Housing and Urban Development employee who organized rallies during the government shutdown.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand: Navy Lt. Cmdr. Blake Dremann, a trans soldier impacted by Trump’s blanket ban on transgender troops.
Sen. Sherrod Brown: Rita Lewis, an advocate for pension reform.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar: Nicole Smith-Holt (https://twitter.com/NSmithholt12/status/1091708509333409792), an advocate for lowering insulin prices and affordable health care.

Satire or not -

Sadly - this SOTU - is a couple of hours of blatant lying to the face of the American people.

In the twilight zone that we live in - people will actually pay attention to this shitshow of lies and some cultists will even applaud this liar after he blatantly abuses them by lying to their faces.

If you genuinely care about a person, you are honest with them because you respect them. Lying to a person you care about always ends up badly.

If you fear or hate a person or worse yet, you hold them in contempt - and you are already a confirmed liar, it makes no difference how many times you blatantly purposefully lie to their faces because they are worthless to you.

This is how this criminal traitor treats his idiot supporters.

Enjoy the shitshow.

Trump’s State of the Union Address Unlikely to Bring Harmony

President Trump’s State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday is his first since Democrats took control of the House of Representatives.CreditSarah Silbiger/The New York Times

any hope of harmony was dispelled long before he left the White House.

The president and Democrats spent the hours before his State of the Union address exchanging political fire,

As he and his team have drafted his address in recent days, he has groused about the text, complaining that it is too gentle on Democrats, according to people briefed on the matter.

The president has sought to sharpen various lines,


Democrats did not wait for the address, scheduled for 9 p.m. Eastern time, to challenge him.

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, took to the Senate floor to declare that

Mr. Trump’s presidency was failing and troubled by chaos, and

that any promises he would make were hardly credible.

Anticipating calls for unity, Mr. Schumer

mocked the idea that Mr. Trump was capable of bringing the country together.

Mr. Schumer responded with a tweet of his own (https://twitter.com/SenSchumer/status/1092820942953349123):

“Thanks for watching my speech but you must have missed this line:
‘Even more empty than his policy promises are President Trump’s calls each year for unity.’”

Mr. Trump’s calls for unity were almost surely destined to fall on deaf ears.

Even Republicans have publicly rebuked him lately for his plans to withdraw troops from Syria and Afghanistan, and

party leaders have pressed him not to declare a national emergency (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/04/us/politics/trump-border-wall-republicans.html?module=inline)bypassing Congress to build the wall.

Here are 7 of Trump’s most outrageous lies and distortions during the State of the Union

1. “After 24 months of rapid progress, our economy is the envy of the world, our military is the most powerful on earth, and America is winning each and every day.”

2. Trump claimed that the United States’ economy is the “hottest economy anywhere in the world.”

3. He said that under his administration, the country has “added 600,000 new manufacturing jobs.”

4. Under his administration, Trump said, the economy added 5.3 million jobs.

5. Trump said there is an “urgent national crisis” of illegal crossings at the border.

6. Trump falsely said that, after having an extremely high crime rate, El Paso became “one of the safest cities” because of a border wall.

7. “I want people to come into our country in the largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally.”

Trump blames Senate for nominations problem his administration has created

"The Senate has failed to act on these nominations, which is unfair to the nominees and to our country."

In one particularly egregious example, Trump blamed the Senate for a backlog of vacancies to posts in the federal government.

In fact, this backlog exists because

the administration has not actually submitted many nominees for the Senate to consider.

Trump did not mention that the Senate Republicans have controlled the chamber since he took office. He also said some had been waiting for years, when his administration is barely two years old.

Of the roughly 1,200 positions that require Senate confirmation,

the PPS analysis is tracking 705 of the more senior postings, including

“Cabinet secretaries,
deputy and assistant secretaries,
chief financial officers,
general counsel,
heads of agencies,
ambassadors and
other critical leadership positions.”

As of Monday, 144 of the 705 key positions do not even have nominees.

That is greater than the 126 which await confirmation and

much smaller than the 431 which have already been confirmed.

the Abrams reply:


Good evening, my fellow Americans. I’m Stacey Abrams, and I am honoured to join the conversation about the state of our union. Growing up, my family went back and forth between lower middle class and working poor.

Yet, even when they came home weary and bone-tired, my parents found a way to show us all who we could be. My librarian mother taught us to love learning. My father, a shipyard worker, put in overtime and extra shifts; and they made sure we volunteered to help others. Later, they both became United Methodist ministers, an expression of the faith that guides us.

These were our family values – faith, service, education and responsibility.

Now, we only had one car, so sometimes my dad had to hitchhike and walk long stretches during the 30-mile trip home from the shipyards. One rainy night, Mom got worried. We piled in the car and went out looking for him — and eventually found Dad making his way along the road, soaked and shivering in his shirtsleeves. When he got in the car, Mom asked if he’d left his coat at work. He explained he’d given it to a homeless man he’d met on the highway. When we asked why he’d given away his only jacket, Dad turned to us and said, “I knew when I left that man, he’d still be alone. But I could give him my coat, because I knew you were coming for me.”

Our power and strength as Americans lives in our hard work and our belief in more. My family understood firsthand that while success is not guaranteed, we live in a nation where opportunity is possible. But we do not succeed alone – in these United States, when times are tough, we can persevere because our friends and neighbours will come for us. Our first responders will come for us.

It is this mantra – this uncommon grace of community – that has driven me to become an attorney, a small business owner, a writer, and most recently, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia. My reason for running for governor was simple: I love our country and its promise of opportunity for all, and I stand here tonight because I hold fast to my father’s credo – together, we are coming for America, for a better America.
Just a few weeks ago, I joined volunteers to distribute meals to furloughed federal workers. They waited in line for a box of food and a sliver of hope since they hadn’t received a paycheck in weeks. Making their livelihoods a pawn for political games is a disgrace. The shutdown was a stunt engineered by the President of the United States, one that defied every tenet of fairness and abandoned not just our people — but our values.

For seven years, I led the Democratic Party in the Georgia House of Representatives. I didn’t always agree with the Republican Speaker or Governor, but I understood that our constituents didn’t care about our political parties – they cared about their lives. So, when we had to negotiate criminal justice reform or transportation or foster care improvements, the leaders of our state didn’t shut down – we came together. And we kept our word.
It should be no different in our nation’s capital. We may come from different sides of the political aisle; but, our joint commitment to the ideals of this nation cannot be negotiable.

Our most urgent work is to realize Americans’ dreams of today and tomorrow. To carve a path to independence and prosperity that can last a lifetime. Children deserve an excellent education from cradle to career. We owe them safe schools and the highest standards, regardless of ZIP code.

Yet this White House responds timidly while first graders practice active shooter drills and the price of higher education grows ever steeper. From now on, our leaders must be willing to tackle gun safety measures and the crippling effect of educational loans; to support educators and invest what is necessary to unleash the power of America’s greatest minds.

In Georgia and around the country, people are striving for a middle class where a salary truly equals economic security. But instead, families’ hopes are being crushed by Republican leadership that ignores real life or just doesn’t understand it. Under the current administration, far too many hard-working Americans are falling behind, living paycheck to paycheck, most without labor unions to protect them from even worse harm.

The Republican tax bill rigged the system against working people. Rather than bringing back jobs, plants are closing, layoffs are looming and wages struggle to keep pace with the actual cost of living.

We owe more to the millions of everyday folks who keep our economy running: like truck drivers forced to buy their own rigs, farmers caught in a trade war, small business owners in search of capital, and domestic workers serving without labor protections. Women and men who could thrive if only they had the support and freedom to do so.

We know bipartisanship could craft a 21st century immigration plan, but this administration chooses to cage children and tear families apart. Compassionate treatment at the border is not the same as open borders. President Reagan understood this. President Obama understood this. Americans understand this. And Democrats stand ready to effectively secure our ports and borders. But we must all embrace that from agriculture to health care to entrepreneurship, America is made stronger by the presence of immigrants – not walls.

Rather than suing to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, as Republican Attorneys General have, our leaders must protect the progress we’ve made and commit to expanding health care and lowering costs for everyone.
My father has battled prostate cancer for years. To help cover the costs, I found myself sinking deeper into debt – because while you can defer some payments, you can’t defer cancer treatment. In this great nation, Americans are skipping blood pressure pills, forced to choose between buying medicine or paying rent. Maternal mortality rates show that mothers, especially black mothers, risk death to give birth. And in 14 states, including my home state where a majority want it, our leaders refuse to expand Medicaid, which could save rural hospitals, economies, and lives.

We can do so much more: take action on climate change. Defend individual liberties with fair-minded judges. But none of these ambitions are possible without the bedrock guarantee of our right to vote. Let’s be clear: voter suppression is real. From making it harder to register and stay on the rolls to moving and closing polling places to rejecting lawful ballots, we can no longer ignore these threats to democracy.

While I acknowledged the results of the 2018 election here in Georgia – I did not and we cannot accept efforts to undermine our right to vote. That’s why I started a nonpartisan organization called Fair Fight to advocate for voting rights.

This is the next battle for our democracy, one where all eligible citizens can have their say about the vision we want for our country. We must reject the cynicism that says allowing every eligible vote to be cast and counted is a “power grab.” Americans understand that these are the values our brave men and women in uniform and our veterans risk their lives to defend. The foundation of our moral leadership around the globe is free and fair elections, where voters pick their leaders – not where politicians pick their voters.

In this time of division and crisis, we must come together and stand for, and with, one another. America has stumbled time and again on its quest towards justice and equality; but with each generation, we have revisited our fundamental truths, and where we falter, we make amends.

We fought Jim Crow with the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, yet we continue to confront racism from our past and in our present – which is why we must hold everyone from the very highest offices to our own families accountable for racist words and deeds – and call racism what it is. Wrong.

America achieved a measure of reproductive justice in Roe v. Wade, but we must never forget it is immoral to allow politicians to harm women and families to advance a political agenda. We affirmed marriage equality, and yet, the LGBTQ community remains under attack.

So even as I am very disappointed by the president’s approach to our problems – I still don’t want him to fail. But we need him to tell the truth, and to respect his duties and the extraordinary diversity that defines America.
Our progress has always found refuge in the basic instinct of the American experiment – to do right by our people. And with a renewed commitment to social and economic justice, we will create a stronger America, together. Because America wins by fighting for our shared values against all enemies: foreign and domestic. That is who we are – and when we do so, never wavering —- the state of our union will always be strong.

Thank you, and may God bless the United States of America.

You ladies (all of you) are all the exact same and if one wanted to go back through the years and demonstrate as such, it wouldn’t be difficult because y’all have been here doing it for 10-15 years. Boutons is right about one thing, this joint is fucked because of people exactly like you. If it weren’t so pathetic, ironic, and hypocritical, it would be hilarious.

Optics of a SOTU don't matter, per se.

Inflating empty pageantry to the level of existential commitment is the ethos of the soap opera.

However, CBS found widespread approval for Trump’s State of the Union. Among independents, 82 percent approved. Democrats only gave 30 percent approval while Republicans (as might be expected) gave the speech 97 percent approval.

My wife had this DVR'd and was watching it last night while I was trying to play a video game. I actually begin to pay attention to the speech. I thought it was actually very good and he was surprisingly eloquent relative to when he talks off the cuff or tweets.
