Review: SOTU

The other DrC and I watched the State of the Union speech earlier this evening. Our opinion: the Donald hit it outa the park, a clear home run. His best line, “Americans are Dreamers, too.” Perhaps his best conclusion was this:
They are Americans. And this Capitol, this city, and this Nation, belong to them.

Our task is to respect them, to listen to them, to serve them, to protect them, and to always be worthy of them.

The people dreamed this country. The people built this country. And it is the people who are making America great again.
Talk about putting paid to scurrilous rumors about mental deficiency or illness. Everybody who watched saw a sober, on-message President who didn’t get off-topic, wasn’t grandstanding, and demonstrated his chops as our booster-in-chief. If you want to read the entire speech, you can find it here.

Meanwhile, the Democrats in the hall were surly and bummed, sitting on their hands and playing with their phones. Trump was telling us we’re doing swell as the Dems sat there looking as screwed as a guy who just watched his exwife walk in holding hands with his boss.

To cap off the evening, porn star Stormy Daniels categorically and in writing denied having an affair with, or being paid money by, Donald Trump. The tabloids will have to find something else about which to speculate.
