Just a tip guys. If anyone is still wondering why the democrat party did not do well in last year's election.
Take a look of the behavior of democrat congress critters at last night's speech.
We can always count on you to whine about the motes in Dem eyes - minor rudeness - while ignoring the beam in MAGA/GQP eyes:
All of the post-election market gains have been wiped out this week.
He lied about the state of the economy on the day of his return to office: “We inherited from the previous administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.”
... He went through his familiar litany of absurdly old people on the Social Security rolls: “1.3 million people from ages 150 to 159.”
In fact, Biden’s economy was enjoying steady growth and inflation had come down to under 3% annually ― a “soft landing” from the pandemic that many economists thought would be impossible....
And the statistics about Social Security, while eroding confidence in the national retirement and disability system, are entirely inaccurate ― the result of Musk’s young aides, who have been rampaging through the federal agencies’ computer systems, not understanding the Social Security Administration’s rolls.
He falsely claimed that new auto plants are “opening up all over the place.” He, yet again, lied about how tariffs work, claiming that “trillions” would come in from other countries when, in reality, tariffs are collected by American importers and passed along to American consumers.
The Liar in Chief just can't help himself, sad.
Trump then turned to foreign policy, where he repeated his imperialist threats of annexing territory belonging to other countries. “We’re taking it back,” he said, regarding the Panama Canal. And about Greenland, which belongs to NATO ally Denmark, he said, “One way or another we’re going to get it.”
He once more repeated his lie that the United States has spent $350 billion to support Ukraine to fight Russia compared to $100 million from western Europe, even though the actual numbers are $204 billion from Europe and $183 billion from the United States. The vast majority of the American aid, further, was in the form of old military stock that is now being replaced by American workers in American factories.
Opps.
Trump also took the opportunity to complain, yet again, about the prosecutions against him after he left office in 2021. “We have ended weaponization of government, where, as an example, a sitting president is allowed to viciously prosecute his political opponent, like me,” he said.
In truth, Trump was investigated and charged by federal prosecutors for his actions leading up to and on his Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt, and his refusal to turn over secret documents he took with him to his South Florida country club.
Not that truth matters to the Whiner in Chief.
He was also charged by Georgia prosecutors for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in that state. And his one prosecution that ended in a felony conviction was for his falsification of business records to hide a $130,000 hush money payment to a porn star ahead of his 2016 election.
The cheater got caught, awww....

And the days of rule by unelected oligarchs have begun!

The Dems should be even MORE aggressive in the face of such hateful insanity.
