Why can't granny take care of herself rather than expecting the taxpayers do it?

The "best economy in history of mankind" is a lie he repeats on daily bases.

2.3% annual growth is pretty far from the best ever. As a matter of fact, the average since WW-2 has been 3.2%, while the
best-ever" quarter was 16.7% in 1950. During Clinton years the economy was was doing very well, and the GDP was routinely clocking 4+% and we were adding 300K jobs per month why the unemployment rate was already low.

I don't know who the "we are free" people were, but I would assume it was those who celebrated the 100th anniversary of women's voting rights.
The hateful division comes from the subverted left!

It wasn't a campaign speech to the "party base." Why is lauding the wonderful economy, among other things, only applicable to the base? Seems like normal people of all persuasions would be happy that America is doing so much better.

And the "we are free" people celebrating the anniversary of the right-to-vote did it in an obnoxious, antagonistic, hostile, and disruptive way - right over the president's speech.

Thanks for posting this. I think that Impeached Pres. Trump likes to state things the way he wishes to see them. Norman Vincent Peale was his mentor. The whole prosperity thinking is stating not what is current fact but as you wish to see it. Basically an alternate reality.

"Good Evening"

Fact checked by Democrats because they knew it wasn't.

It appears on their end, it wasn't.

A man who made this remark during his radio show deserves a medal of freedom in your opinion?

Quote:
“You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”

FYI, James Earl Ray assassinated Martin Luther King.

Rush got the medal because he was just diagnosed with incurable lung cancer after a lifetime of smoking, denying the risks of smoking, and insulting people who complained of second-hand smoke and because the President is a opportunistic carnival barker who wouldn't dream of passing up an opportunity to debase himself by transparently throwing red meat to his base.
