Join us for the first State of the Union address to be delivered by the current occupier of the Oval Office. It is being streamed live on C-SPAN and on Twitter, and aired on network and cable television across the country.
As we slide from Democratic republic to autocracy we must stay informed and engaged so that we can effectively fight back.
RESIST.
That was the most shamelessly manipulative and cruel display ever at a SOTU. The worst he’s ever done. He is filth.
New thread here.
Trump seems to believe that 320 million people are watching this speech. Almost as big as his inaugural crowd?
Donald Trump calls federal immigration agents—who detained a 10-year-old girl with cerebral palsy—“great people.”
Says the US is a compassionate nation. While his border patrol and ICE agents are ripping apart families. He is letting people die of thirst in the desert of the SW. He is allowing American citizens to suffer and die in Puerto Rico and he fucking just insulted the Dreamers in the audience.
A friendly reminder that as Trump makes a call for bipartisanship, he rejected a bipartisan immigration offer from a bipartisan group of senators during that infamous “shithole countries” rant.
Less than 2800 words into a nearly 5200-word speech. (Give or take a couple dozen superlatives he’s throwing in off-script.)
“Americans are Dreamers too.” Fuck you, Donald Trump. Fuck you. And your ICE and border patrol.
Did Trump mention that Mexico is gonna pay for the wall?That line seemed to get such great applause on the campaign trail.— Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) January 31, 2018

If there was ever any hope that Trump would work with Democrats on immigration reform, he just destroyed it. Spit on it. And Susan Collins just stood up for his plan.
Trump wants you to think his agents are prioritizing so-called “bad hombres,” but last month, a judge freed nearly two dozen immigrant teens wrongfully accused of gang affiliation by ICE: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/12/21/1726638/-Nearly-two-dozen-immigrant-teens-wrongfully-arrested-by-ICE-are-free-after-ACLU-lawsuit
Yeah, he’s going to demand “good moral quality” of immigrants. This lying, cheating sack of orange excrement talks about morality.
Fun fact: According to DHS, the number of people crossing the border without permission has dropped to the lowest in decades.
