And no one yelled “You lie!” while he stood their and made up his own facts. Too bad the democrats didn’t clap for every other word out of that racist’s mouth. You’d have complained if they had anyway.
He could have performed CPR and brought a person back to life right at the podium and they would have still sat on their hands. They certainly wouldn’t have helped. They wouldn’t want to be seen as agreeable with Trump on anything.
Awww, the Elephants think passing ONE meaningful bill in a year is a big winner! ONE! ROFLMAO! Go rename some more post offices so you can claim more WINS!
Ridiculous.
We have corrected our imbalance of trade with China – REALLY? An increase of more than ten percent since he took office is “correcting”?
Republicans are living in an alternative universe.
@NSFH12: You did hear him say he wanted to eliminate the rule of law and expand his own powers…right. Do you seriously want a Putin style dictator in the Oval Office. You must be one of those “really good people” in the Neo-Nazis Party.
Major legislation was passed without public and informed input, discussion, even reading by representatives and senators. In sum, other than confirming cabinet secretaries bent on destroying their departments, confirming idiologues as judges, pushing through ill conceived laws which will hurt millions of people not much has been accomplished this year. The President has alienated much of the world, lowered our place in the world, and acted in the manner of a boor, oaf, lout. I think the Democrats had good reason not to applaud the President.
Okay, Lisa; that cartoon is part 1. Now you can illustrate exactly what you believe the Republicans were actually applauding. I think Republicans would like to know as well.
Lisa, should the Dems have shouted out things like “YOU LIE” or made grunting noises while rolling their eyes, or any of the other rude and negative reactions Repubs had to Obama SOTU speeches? Trump the toddler clapped enough for himself. The Dems didn’t hear anything to be happy about. Guess you think like Sarah Huckabee and they should all just be stupid grinning fools like she recommended for Nancy Pelosi.
I understand Trump had “I think, therefore I am.” in his speech. They had to remove the phrase after he got stuck repeating it in an endless loop…“I think?” just was too much for him to handle!
Trumps economy is making the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party look like their economy did for the last eight years.Small.Don’t think so?Try driving to work and tell us whether the traffic is better or worse then it was a couple of years ago.But then most dems would have to get a job to know.
We would like to hire at least 20 new people.Drug tests are required by law so few applicants get past that.So far most of the dems leave to go take a drug test and never show up at the lab.
In “Trump’s economy,” wages are still stagnant while income inequality is increasing! Plus, our trade imbalance with China has grown in 2017. [ Yet, some still call this “Winning!” ]

Honest question, anyone know if Trump said anything worth universal clapping? I tried watching his SotU but fell asleep a few minutes in.

They were supposed to say You Lie, like the Republicans!? Everyone knows that, no need to say it.

So, Lisa, what does that make the Republicans who did not applaud when Obama gave his first State of the Union speech? Humm?

I imagine if Trump declared martial law the Republicans would have cheered loudly.

Standing O for racism!
Standing O for misogyny!
Standing O for amorality!
Standing O for bullying!
Standing O for pathological lying!
Standing O for xenophobia!
Standing O for money laundering!
Standing O for obstruction of justice!
Standing O for colluding with a foreign power!
Standing O for wantonly ignoring science!
Sanding O for waging war on the environment!
Standing O for weakening relations with our allies!
Standing O for escalating the threat of nuclear war!
But those Dems are completely unwilling to get into (goose)step!

Love how Trump tweeted that his was the most watched SOTU ever, as if no one actually kept track of such things.
Republicans shouted, “You lie!” at a Democrat, then they applaud a liar.

Lisa, be fair. Go back to one of Obama’s state of the union and re-draw the toon. I wonder what it would look like.

A wonderful SOTU speech. Trump read it off the teleprompter like a real pro. So very presidential.
