    People actually watch these things?
    There are moments.

    The silence among the Republicans was deafening after Obama stated he would not be campaigning/running again, cheering ensued, and then he brought the hammer down concerning already winning 2 in a row.

    I was quite a funny moment, the silence, staring at each other... whose fault was it the guy took 2 from us?

    America still polls planet wide as the primary source of war and instability.
    As well as the most economically stable and one of the most ideal democracies in theory.
    And never mind the # of foreign aid workers outside our government makes all other countries pale in comparison.

    America's economy is stable? holy

    ideal? America's democracy is a myth, long gone, sold, bought, and delivered a long time ago.

    Sen. Joni Ernst’s family actually received more than $460,000 in federal subsidies




    Despite Sen. Joni Ernst’s (R-IA) rhetoric about growing up poor on Tuesday night, her family actually received hundreds of thousands of dollars in government aid between 1995 and 2009, the District Sentinel news co-op reported.

    Farm subsidy records indicate that the freshman senator’s father, Richard Culver, has received $38,395 in commodity subsidies and conservation payments, with all but $12 of the money being used for support of his corn crops. Ernst’s uncle, Dallas Culver, has reportedly received $250,000 in federal corn subsidies and $117,141 in additional aid. And her paternal grandfather, Harold Culver, got an additional $57,479 in aid between 1995 and 2001.

    Ernst did not mention her family’s use of federal programs during her response to the State of the Union. Instead
    , she said she was raised “simply” and taught to live within her means.

    So where is the big run from the dollar?
    Why does every country in the world buy US T bills?

    You are just nuts if you think our economy is unstable compared to what else is out there.
    Really nuts.

    It really is time to fess up boots. Where do you keep your money? I'll bet you are a hypocrite. I'll bet your money is firmly entrenched in the US, which is why you have never ever come close to answering this question.

    While you are at it: Why are Obama's ratings up? Answer: the economy

    bull . Except for ACA, the Repugs have blocked EVERYTHING for 6 years, and will block EVERYTHING the next two years.
    why didn't Obama make any of these bold proposals to soak the 1% when he had Congressional majorities?

    Obama was never serious about that. He isn't now.

    He didn't propose to soak the 1%, now or ever, only a couple % to their ridiculously low tax rate.

    Everybody knows the Repugs, in their "destroy govt so 1%/Big corps can continue to the country more" strategy, will block raising any tax rates and closing loopholes.

    Obama's speech was obviously political for 2016, lotsa of populism for The Human-American People.

    btw, it's the 1% and BigCorp that are soaking, looting Human-Americans and the environment, while avoiding taxes with the loopholes they purchased and criminally evading taxes, with help from the Repugs who have cut IRS budget, the real IRS scandal, by many $100Ms.

    Unregulated capitalism and finance/banking has always, will always produce financial panics, depression, instability. We just had two in the last 15 years.

    Obama's ratings are up because some of the economy is up. People think, emotionally, that the President is a divine right, invincible, infallible king controlling everything.

    Comparing an economy to , the economy will always smell better, which is what you are doing.

    Steve King calls Dreamer guest of First Lady at SOTU 'a deportable'


    Iowa Congressman Steve King issued the opening salvo for his clown car conservative summit this weekend, calling a Dream activist and guest of First Lady Mic e Obama "a deportable" in a tweet before the State of the Union address.

    #Obama perverts "prosecutorial discretion" by inviting a deportable to sit in place of honor at #SOTU w/1st Lady. I should sit with Alito.
    @SteveKingIA


    The guest was likely Ana Zamora, a student at Northwood University in Texas who was granted temporary deportation relief and work authorization through President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in 2012.The tweet, which inflamed Dream activists, sets the tone for the contingent of 2016 GOP presidential hopefuls who will descend on the Iowa Freedom Summit this weekend with the intent of making a name for themselves.

    In that respect, Rep. King is certainly leading the way. Hopefully, none of those candidates aspire to be anything more than a congressman who was reduced to seething about his seat at the State of the Union.

    ... and the rednecks, bubbas, xenophobes, racists, Iowa pig producers went wild!
