Dynamite speech. Lack of polish makes Trump so much more engaging than comrade Obama with his teleprompters and racist sneer.

Of course, like all political speeches Trump's was heavy on the bullshit. He said America will never be a socialist country. We've been a socialist country since FDR. The question now is will we allow socialist policies to bankrupt us.

Obama 47%? Trump's at 48% right now:

Tuesday, February 05, 2019

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance.

No borders, no wall, no USA at all:

In two years' time, voters will have this kind of anti-American behavior fixed in their minds as "typical" for Democrats. You people should get a grip on those folks. Bad for your image.

The applause and the standing as a sign of approval at the State of the Union speeches is always amusing. This year the Dems looked mighty conflicted. Pelosi looked like she'd soiled her adult diaper. Occasional-Cortex looked hopelessly adrift. Happy hour at the bar never prepared her for this.

An excellent speech. Trump will be re-elected and his policies will have six-years to bear fruit.

I don't know where else to put this 2-minute video. It's a re-enactment of the Jussie Smollett incident. Funny as hell:

Sure you can pluck the Rasmussen poll and ignore the 8 others that show Trump doing less well. Trump still has a significant deficit with all voters with 52.6% disapproving and 44.1% approving, when the polls are averaged. This isn't cause for optimism for Trump's party.

Not gonna watch the video, but I have to say Smollett's stunt was one of the dumbest things done by a public figure in my memory.

The Mueller Report is out. Trump exonerated. No findings that he worked with Russia to disrupt the 2016 presidential election. More than two years of what everybody knew was bullshit can now be scraped off our boot. And not only did Trump not conspire with the Russians, none of his aides did either. No indictments. While on the other hand, we have Hillary Clinton conspiring with the Russians to sell them 20% of America's uranium in the Uranium One deal.

Robert Mueller is a mobster, Obama committed the greatest domestic crime ever by a president when he planted spies in the Trump campaign, and Clinton is a Russian agent. We all know it now. The world knows it. If you support these people in their bogus witch hunts, then you are anti-American.

And Trump has struck a blow against the liberal fascist academics who deny free speech to students.

President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to promote free speech on college campuses by threatening colleges with the loss of federal research funding if they do not protect those rights.

"We’re here to take historic action to defend American students and American values," Trump said, surrounded by conservative student activists at the signing ceremony. "They’ve been under siege."

"Under the guise of speech codes, safe spaces and trigger warnings, these universities have tried to restrict free thought, impose total conformity and shut down the voices of great young Americans like those here today," he said....

Can't you get even a simple fact straight? On the matter of obstruction, Mueller's report did not exonerate Trump, leaving his guilt open. Not even the finding that Trump & Co. didn't conspire to collude is exoneration. It's a finding that they weren't guilty of a chargeable crime.

You disagree with your man on "mobster" Mueller. Trump says now that Mueller acted honorably. Might that have just a little to do with Mueller's judgment that Trump being pro-Russia wasn't illegal?

This is a similar pattern to the so-called "rigged" election that got Trump elected. The Russian investigation was always a "witchhunt" until it didn't actually find collusion with Russia. Now it's the Democrat's attempt to oust a duly elected POTUS. The narratives shift and change.

The narrative coming from the far right is that the Russia investigation was started by Democrats in an effort to get to Trump. But this wasn't a Democrat investigation. And it wasn't out to get Trump. It was intended from the beginning to investigate Russia's influence in the 2016 election. Mueller followed the evidence and turned up what he did. There was in fact Russian influence in the 2016 election and it was our duty to investigate the level of foreign influence. The investigation uncovered numerous instances of malfeasance and leveled criminal charges against 34 people, including three Trump associates. The investigation did exactly what it set out to do. I call that a success.

Exonerated? That's a joke. Trumps' presidency continues to be an embarrassment for our nation. He lies all the time. He shows a poor understanding of our laws and traditions. He is a proven sham artist to anyone who is willing to look. To say that Trump is "exonerated" is the Kool-aid that the far right is drinking. These people are so enmeshed with their narratives that they no longer care about facts and truth. They are extremists and becoming more irrational all the time. I have no idea how this will end.

One Trump statement is true at least. He could shoot someone on the street and his base simply wouldn't care. They would rationalize the act a million different ways, just as they do with the Trump University sham, the bankruptices and legal entanglements and his continued mockery of the presidency. We truly live in a post-truth world.

No he botched the first sentence and disinformed from there. Obviously the report is not out, only a four page summary, and currently the GOP is fighting that release. No need to read KS's post any further. (We'll see what happens with the report...)

Screech away leftists. You are no longer relevant.

You just spent two years sporting tin foil caps during the mother of all conspiracy theories, Russiagate, and now your foil is covered with the batshit of the "Green New Deal." The US Senate just voted on that...they turned it down in a unanimous vote. 57 against, and 43 "present." Democrats are now so marginalized that they have to speak up and tell the world that they're "present" at official functions. I love it.

Russiagate got Trump re-elected. Voters won't believe the next Big Lie that the Dems make up. The boy who cried wolf.

Now that the phony Russiagate thing has been put to bed, we can get on to REAL issues, like Spygate.

Exclusive — Rand Paul: Need to Determine if Barack Obama, Loretta Lynch Were in on Spying on Donald Trump Campaign
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wants to know if former President Barack Obama and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch were in on the decisions to spy on President Donald Trump’s campaign and lend credence to the phony dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign that gave way to what became the investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. ... Paul said there needs to be a full investigation into the origins of all of this, in particular what appears to be abuse by the Obama administration when it comes to using foreign surveillance wiretap powers. ... "...all of the information that was transforming how and why they got those FISA warrants should be made public too,” Paul said. “Everybody should be allowed to read who’s making the decisions and what were their arguments for why anybody should respect or believe this dossier that was paid for by the Clinton campaign.

The issuing of the FISA warrants is key to Spygate. What hand did Obama have in using a dossier that everybody know was a Clinton-paid-for fiction to obtain the warrants to spy on Trump?

Trump Announces Major Offensive Against Deep State Coup
FISA abuses, leaks, and Clinton crimes will all be investigated, says president
President Trump, in an exclusive wide-ranging interview Wednesday night with Fox News’ “Hannity,” vowed to release the full and unredacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants and related documents used by the FBI to probe his campaign, saying he wants to “get to the bottom” of how the long-running Russia collusion narrative began. Trump told anchor Sean Hannity that his lawyers previously had advised him not to take that dramatic step out of fear that it could be considered obstruction of justice. “I do, I have plans to declassify and release. I have plans to absolutely release,” Trump said.

This will be so, so bad for the Obama/Clinton people. Clinton will be convicted of espionage (a special prosecutor could use Spygate to look at her Secretary of State emails and track her double-dealings there), and Obama will have to flee the country to avoid...whatever can be done to him. Is he above prosecution for planting spies in the Trump campaign?
