Big Surprise. Trump’s SOTU speech does not stand up well when you check the facts.

For those without access to the WAPO, the analysis dismantles 31 questionable and fraudulent claims he made in this one speech. So many lies! That is so Trump – pathetic for a campaign speech but when it is the SOTU speech, it is disrespecting the country, the people and the Constitution.

Did Nancy Pelosi Break the Law?

Some are noting that the copy of the State of the Union Speech President Trump handed to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was an official document, or public record. If so, Pelosi may have broken the law by tearing it up.

Specifically, it would seem to be a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2071.

I’m agnostic on the legal point, except in the observation that disregard for the law — disregard for the Constitution, in fact — appears to be a hallmark of today’s Democratic Party.

How not to follow an upbeat speech

 

Trump made people feel uplifted, following up by Pelosi publicly tearing up the speech followed by a governor whining about life no harder than all of us face is such a downer.

Ask yourself, who made you feel good, who made you feel bad.

But there are other zombies, like climate change denial, that play an almost equally large role in our political discourse.”

I have long predicted the collapse of the Democratic Party, and for a variety of reasons: its multiculturalism, its anti-Americanism, its general hatred, its deep incompetence. All the reasons roll up to a single predictive conclusion. The party is doomed to collapse because it has become, at last, incoherent.

I take the catastrophe of the Iowa caucuses as a material sign of collapse manifesting.
