HIGHLIGHTS

As a Democrat I am disappointed how they acted. The high road needs to be taken. No more of these childish actions.

You are not a Democrat why lie it's just like trump you lie si easily when the truth is in plain sight just like you all that someone needs to do is read your comments history and you realize just how non Democrat you are.

I certainly am now after last night. Enjoy being miserable.

His speech was no different from any state of the union address of the past. You just have a deep seated hatred of Trump, and probably republicans more broadly.

I mean.. there were a LOT of lies if you bother to look into them instead of enjoying the alternative reality he offers.

Again, that is true of every state of the union/presidential address. The irony is that you actually uncritically accept the lies the politicians you support spread.

I don't support politicians. I support outcomes. This isn't team sports. Taking victory laps while the economy burns and our allies move away from us isn't helpful. The election is over. Donald has been on a giant election campaign for like 10 years now. Someone needs to explain that part is over now and the American people expect our 401k and inflation to not be in the shitter. Outcomes matter. Politicians and political parties are nothing in the absence of favorable outcomes. We need to stop doing exactly what Putin would want at every turn or outcomes will just keep spiraling.

I know you like telling yourself that, but you’re lying to both of us. You are very clearly a partisan democrat buying into nonsensical fear mongering.

Nah I'm an independent. Give me an example of a single thing Donald has done in the last month Putin wouldn't cheer for. I got about 30 examples of things Putin would love. Just one.. please.. I would really like to hear it right about now.

Keep lying to yourself all you want, it’s not convincing. One thing Trump has done that Russia wouldn’t cheer is continuing to pressure Europe to boycott Russian oil. He’s also pressured them to increase defense spending to counter Russian power in the region.

Being a center leaning person, it wasn’t great but didn’t scare me. If you stay in the Reddit pages you will only encounter the far left 15% of the world and yes then you will be scared. It’s similar to the fucktards who only listen to fox and imagine unicorns and rainbows are on their way. Left 15% cancel out the right 15% and what you are left with is the middle that actually goes to work and makes decisions.

“We’re going to take Greenland one way or another.” We are going to take control of territory of a foreign, sovereign nation who has no intention of relinquishing control to America and has stated as such multiple times. So are we invading? Starting a war with Denmark?

I mean it wouldn't be much of a war to be honest, Denmark only has 16,000 active service members and no nuclear weapons. We could take Greenland in under 24 hours.

And trigger WW3. Awesome.

Lmao ok buddy, Europe won't even step up to the plate over a literal threat on their front door you really think they'll do anything over Greenland? Thinking they'll do anything but moan and finger wag is some serious cope. If the Ukraine conflict has proven anything its the EU is weak and ineffectual.

hooooly crap. we are literally in the "invasion and hostile take overs aren't a big deal" stage with you people. unreal

The delusion in this comment. Zelenskyy didn’t even have the decency as a LEADER to wear a suit to the White House. But Trump was disrespectful? In our house? What planet do you live on?

Oh no not a SUIT!!!! THE TRAVESTY!!!!!!!

It’s a respect thing. Dipshits and plebs who live with their mommy’s still wouldn’t understand. You’re a good boy.

lol and you’re ignorant too! How astounding!

Probably correct.

Definitely not. But keep believing that. You already believe Krasnov’s lies.

It’s the Obama tan suit strawman all over again.

Is Obama the president of Ukraine?

Whoosh

Yall are really good with those whataboutisms.

They meant to say that when conservatives don't have any legitimate criticism or just want to attack somebody, they focus on trivial things like a suit. It is not whataboutism.

I loved it. Guess who didn’t? Woke. Liberals.

I'm sure Denmark wasn't to thrilled because either trump has threatened to aggressively take Greenland or joked about it which either way is still fucked up. Use your brain no country leader should be joking about taking land from other countries.

It’s called reparations for the horrible danish attacks on anglo-saxon people during early history.

So you agree with reparations? I’m sure our African American friends would be thrilled to hear that.

I was more put off by the childish behavior of Al Green and the fact that nobody bothered to clap or stand up for the people who lost loved ones, along with the young boy with brain cancer. That stuff should have been bipartisan, but some people were purely focused on protesting Trump. Pretty stupid.

“Hey, I’m going to attack you and lie for two hours. Clap for me.”

No lies about those I just mentioned. Get your priorities straight and get off your high horse.

Holding up a kid with brain cancer as a political pawn is the most disgusting thing I’ve seen in a while.

Yeah that kid looked real upset to become a secret service agent, how cruel.

He wanted to become a police officer according to what was said at the Nazi rally. Way to pay attention.

According to a CBS poll, 70% of viewers approved of Trump's speech. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-speech-joint-address-congress-poll-2025/ A simple explanation could be that your values don't align with the majority of Americans

I'm sure I'm not the only one who didn't watch it because he is a complete dumbass. The general audience was mostly Republicans.

It was 51% Republican.

I felt great! But I guess you're the arbiter of what is "decent" and you get to decide what was "falsehoods". Man the left is arrogant and stupid as all get out.

So you’re Ok with him not sending weapons to help Ukraine vs Communist Russia? You’re OK with the tariffs and resulting inflation? You’re OK with the reckless cutting of federal gov’t and their individual lives being bluntly disrupted?

I'm okay with all of it. Rational people want peace. Sending more support to one side doesn't get that. The left can spare me with inflation talks. Tarrifs are fine if they are short lived and result in better economic gain in the US. I find your use of the word "reckless" absolutely hysterical. The cutting of the Gov is long overdue, signed. A 24 year government employee. What do you mean about lies being bluntly disrupted? At least the right is acting like adults. Can't say the same for the loony left.

its not peace when you just capitulate to the aggressor, tariffs can not be "short term" thing

Lol. Got it. You've got a better plan. Probably ad good as Bidens 3 years doing this. You probably also think the EU buying all of their gas from Russia this whole time wasn't funding the war against Ukraine either. Ummmm. Yeah actually. They can be. They were under his last term.

when did i say any of that? As a matter of fact I was aware that yes there were countries that had not diversified there means of providing gas to their citizens, it was one of the few things not sanctioned, I do disagree with that. You're providing nothing of substance and your previous points are still naive. So peace looks like the 2014 Crimera agreement, what's your vision? I'm probably just arguing with some russian kid anyways.

The Democrats acted horribly, childishly, and turned a once-respected tradition in our nation into impotent political theater. Years ago both Republicans and Democrats condemned a man for yelling "you lie" at Barrack Obama's SOTU address. Now Democrats are openly disrupting the thing like toddlers. No I don't feel good at all about what I witnessed.

Delusional af

Nah it's just a different opinion. We're still allowed to have those, thanks to Trump winning and not Kamala 😉

Yeah. Except Trump “truthed” a direct attack on the 1st Amendment yesterday.

The Biden Administration that Kamala was a part of, literally created a Ministry of Truth agency for "disinformation" that would have had the most Orwellian suppression of free speech imaginable had it not been so unpopular they abandoned the idea. And you're talking to me about some Tweet Trump made that doesn't do anything? Yeah...no. Not even close. You can't "attack" Free Speech by speaking freely lol. How does that work?

If you don’t understand how threatening to jail people exercising their right to protest is an attack on free speech, you’re beyond help.

As someone on the left, I feel like he did nothing but insult and spew hate towards me and people like me. I’m no cop killer, drug lord, or rapist… I just think all people deserve respect, but my president and his followers hate me. This is America. Ps: there are better places in the world.

Lots of them.

By all means, go.

Where are YOU going to go when your master's gone?

Uhh, we just got done with 4 years of a demented dumbass. I didn't go anywhere. I didn't say there were better countries to be. What I said is that the pendulum will swing the other way at some point. And it did. Only the dems are stupid enough to talk garbage about this country just because they disagree with the current administration.

Once your syphilitic master has nothing but cronies installed in all branches and our elections are as fair as Russia's, do you think it will be the same country? (Granted, this is all worst-case scenario stuff. Could it happen? YES. Do I think it's likely to be as bad as all that? Maaaaaybe.) I'm staying and fighting either way.

Then go to those better places. We don’t won’t you here. At all. By the way, respect is earned. Nobody deserves it. What a clown. 🤡

What a sad take from a fellow countrymen. It's sad how politics has been weaponized to such an extent. It has now transcended political ideology into pure hatred. All according to plan I suppose.

It’s not about politics. It’s about morals. You are blind.

That's exactly the essence of what I said. Clearly, you're illiterate. Can't wait to see how much worse things will be with the attack on education...
