Presidential Address Thread

[RoryN]

So, does he declare an emergency even top GOP won't agree with?

Let's watch...

 

[adrina]

Ugh. I just can't. Listening to him talk is completely cringe-worthy.

Although if anyone wanted to get hammered tonight, you can bet there's some kickass drinking games to be played.

 

[RoryN]

Ugh. I just can't.

I get it. But it's historic.

 

[Harrypalm]

I can't stand to even look at the guy. Cringe worthy indeed.

 

[RoryN]

Worst.

Delivery.

Ever.

 

[RoryN]

...and it will now be known as the "Coyote Speech".

 

[Januari]

I wish I could say I opted to watch Stormy Daniels fold laundry naked or whatever she was doing, but it would be a lie. I didn’t see the speech either though so still #winning.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

If I want to pay be lied to I'll get a hooker.

 

[adrina]

What, no "Lock her up" or "It's Obama's fault"?

The best thing about it, after not watching it, was its brevity. Granted I'm sure it was packed with misinformation, disinformation and outright lies. Cuz... well, Trump.

 

[RoryN]

Oh yes - he alluded to Obama and the "wall" around his house.

I should have known. The man has zero self control. He just can't help himself.

Lots of misinformation. Where to begin....

I am afraid he will not budge on the shutdown either.

The shutdown is more of crisis than south of the border.

Yes it is. The economy, TSA, the parks, furloughed workers, food stamps, tax refunds (yeah like 10% of staff will be able to handle them) and myriad other stuff.

Yup.....

A majority of these employees make under 50,000 a year.

And he was incorrect about the drug, opioid, herion issue. The traffickers are not walking it across the border. It is coming in other ways. Air, mail, through Canada.

...of course most ODs are from home-made pharms.

 

[adrina]

She is correct in that most of the opioids that enter the country illegally are not at the Mexican border. They are through legal ports of entry. Additionally, much of the crap out of Mexico is low grade and weaker. See China for purity and strength of the drugs - fentanyl for one.

You really think Mexicans are “walking” that shit in?

Correct, my dear

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Not a presidential address - a campaign ad. And the networks aired it. Rubes.

Tiny sent multiple fundraising letters promoting the "presidential address" (sic) and the networks fell for it. It was a 2020 campaign ad. He lied in the letter before the campaign ad. He lied in the letter following the campaign ad. The networks preempted programming as if the liar was going to talk about something relevant to Americans, America or anything other than pandering to the id of ignorant die hard Trumpers. As Steve Schmidt said "They are not Trump supporters, they are marks". What a bunch of rubes the networks have proven themselves to be.

And if you watched it, you are a rube too.

 

[KeithD]

My goodness, why aren't we hearing from the board Trumpettes on this thread?

Of course. No one cares about fentanyl. Enough that could be used as a chemical warfare agent to kill millions:

Still, most ODs are caused by domestic pharmaceutical drugs:

[rae121452]

he could have saved us all 10 wasted minutes of our lives by coming on and saying "fuck it all. ditto." when he can only concentrate for 10 minutes we should know something. and did you notice him losing focus several times?

Yes they are however that does not negate what I said and what SG said about "drugs entering the country illegally".

Regardless, a wall isn't going to stop the drugs entering illegally and it won't stop the OD's caused domestically.

Indiana apparently is the meth capital of the United States and the world. Time for a wall for them too.

lol so argumentative.

That was my point. Except no one cares about domestic pills killing Americans.

So? There's not that many Mexicans there.
