She was too busy trying to get the broccoli from last night's dinner out of her dentures.

Btw, they definitely hissed at him.

Sorry, that's not how it works.

YOU are the one who brought up white supremacists, the onus is on YOU.

If you can't prove that white supremacists are statistically significant to the argument (which is essentially what the other poster was alluding to), then bringing up white supremacists is essentially irrelevant.

No POTUS has claimed credit for short- term market gains as frequently as Trump has done. Then as the DOW is in a record free fall, he chose to deflect and refer to the lack of applause during his SOTU address as treasonous. Epic bait and switch.

Guess he never watched Obama's SOTU addresses when Republican Congress critters sat stone- faced. The whole lot of them are a bunch of drama queens. .

Donald Trump Said Democrats Who Didn't Clap Are Treasonous | Time

Trump calls Democrats not applauding him 'un-American' - Chicago Tribune

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/05/u...rket-rout.html
the guy was having fun, teasing the dems. Get over it.


Knew the instant Trump said what he said with a smile and wink, the dems and LibLeft would zero in and go bonkers.


As for treason, the dems use the term so loosely, they have been claiming trump committed treason every time he issues a policy, expresses an opinion or makes an announcement.


If the guy used Russian dressing, the likes of that caricature of a legislator Maxine waters would scream, 'treason!.


So trump tosses it back with a wink and the left loses their mind while the American people laugh their heads off at the Dems reaction.


The LL and dems live in a world apart from reality.

A lack of normal ethics and behavior. A willingness to lie, con, manipulate, bribe, extort or whatever to achieve their ends.

The dons promised protection, betterment and taking care of some in the area of their purview. And, in ways, they did that as, perhaps, may Trump with the objective of his base cheering him on. Some of those provided for by the dons were very loyal to their power; impressed sometimes by influence and rewards and often by fear. The population at large, however, saw them as bad people, not to be trusted or involved with. Anything that knowingly came from a Mafia connection was ill-gotten gains. There was always too high a price to pay to people with good judgment and the option of not going there.

So you had a loyal, sycophantic minority and a majority that knew the score and wanted no part of it. Just as with Trump. It would have been unreasonable, dangerous and foolish for the media of the day to only publicize the good about the Mafia, ignoring the bad/perilous. It would be just as much so for modern media to try to glean and showcase only the "hail fellow, well met" Trump interactions and avoid showing the most prevalent, prominent, troubling and highly dysfunctional behaviors he displays daily. That would be dangerous and dishonest. And people with good sense would know anytime there were words coming from Trump's mouth or Twittering fingers that the media weren't covering what actually is going on when he isn't "on stage".

Trust would be in even shorter supply than it is now and that's not good.
Well said.
