Tonight's Lecture

[Boca]

Traditionally called the State of the Union address to Congress. It will not be worth watching simply because President Trump has nothing to do with the state of the union he inherited. Instead it will be his standard Trump stump speech bewailing the state of the union that prompted him to run for office in the first place.

I expect there will be still more about the media which has had a profound effect on the state of the union.

I expect there will be still more about illegal immigration which has also had a profound effect on the state of the union.

I expect there will be more about trade agreements which also has had a profound effect on the state of the union.

I expect there will be more about crime which also has had a profound effect on the state of the union.

I expect there will be more about taxation which also has had a profound effect on the state of the union.

I expect there will be more about administrative regulations which also has had a profound effect on the state of the union.

I expect there will be nothing new about the state of the union until he gets these simple and obvious messages across to the politicians of both parties and the media. That they haven't caught on yet is only a mystery if you don't believe they have another agenda.

I expect there will be something about unity as opposed to divisiveness which also has had a profound effect on the state of the union.

I except that will take some time.

And I expect tomorrow we will all be told there was nothing new.

You couldn't pay me enough to watch it. I'll be leveling up my Sith Warrior in SWTOR!

For the Empire!

I'll need a translation...could it be a video game?

Will you hold him to his claims and fact check his allegations?

"WASHINGTON — President Trump suggested on Tuesday that 'a revved-up economy' could generate enough additional tax revenue to pay for his proposed $54 billion military buildup, relieving pressure on him to cut Social Security..."

“'I think the money is going to come from a revved-up economy,' Mr. Trump said in an interview with Fox News when asked how he would pay for his plans. 'I mean, you look at the kind of numbers we’re doing — we were probably G.D.P. of a little more than 1 percent, and if I can get that up to 3 or maybe more, we have a whole different ballgame.'”

I expect there will be talk about immigration that might please both sides of the aisle if they will allow it.

I expect it will be better than you think it will be.

Great game.

Do you have any f'kn idea what the difference between 1% and 3% GDP is?

I'm a little confused about where the increased consumption will come from?
Do you think Trump knows?

Don't misunderstand...I think it will be perfect if he goes through it all again. He has to for as long as it takes.

I'm tempted to watch just to see how many boos he gets and how many walk out.

Really? You don't understand what consumer confidence translates to? Do you understand what investor confidence means? Take a look at the markets.

 

[Caroljo]

Huh....looks like everyone there is standing and applauding for Trump. How could that be? All stood clapping for the 1st lady too. I thought the Democrats were not going to do this. I didn't notice anyone NOT shaking his hand on his way out to the podium either. Could we have been listening to FAKE news again?

 

[Caroljo]

Ah...he mentions condemning hate and evil in all it's forms....and all but a few rows stood clapping. Looks like Dems didn't agree with that.....of course, they love it! SMH!

I'm confused how people without jobs that pay a living wage drive 70% of GDP.

 

[Caroljo]

Huh....now they're playing hard ball. No longer standing or clapping for anything. Even though he's talking about things that ALL Americans should want! Of course he's talking about ILLEGAL immigration. He want's to enforce the laws already in place, and they're acting like children. Oh well....I had hopes for them for a minute.
