It is painfully obvious that you are functioning in the same way that you are accusing the democrats of functioning. You refuse to see any fault in your side, your argument, your man. I get it. You have a problem with the Left. The Democrats. The Libs. I have a problem with the man that is POTUS. Both parties have purpose. Both parties have faults. You don't see that.
Quote:He ought to act like it, he doesn't. My ethnicity is Greek, but I support the USA not that socialist frump government in Greece.
Dude was born in Chicago. Came up from essentially nothing. Got married. Drove a cab, work in schools with child assault victims, had his #$%^ing house firebombed, kept his nose to the grindstone, and has spent the better part of the last 40 years in public service. What part of ANY of that isn't "acting like it"? That's about as American as you can be. What...he doesn't act like it because he doesn't clap like the azzclown at the mic clapping for himself after every single punctuation mark? He walked out to grandstand and make a point. Oh, but that must not be "your kind of protest", not unlike your dig at the Dems and a "few NFL players" in your other post.
Quote:Asking people not to throw things at you, curse you or spit on you when you're walking to a Trump event in Chicago is asking too much? What world do you live on? How do you excuse behavior like that from purported adults?
Anyone that throws things at you, curses at you, or spits at you while walking down the street deserves to be punched in the throat. You have every right to support any political candidate that you wish. But don't go equating that behavior to the way that the democratic legislature has been handling themselves. Again, maybe not "your kind of protest", but they are using the limited voice that they have to try and be heard.
Quote:Trump asked the Dems to work with him on immigration. Dickie Durbin could hardly contain himself with glee when he ran out of the room to tell every reporter within earshot that Trump had used the term 'chithole countries' when describing some of the places we get refugees from. The Dems then pulled out of the talks with no input. That's cooperation in your view, that's bipartisan?
Really, BP?
Dickie Durbin? If that doesn't prove my point about the "maturity argument", nothing will. Oh, but it's your team...so, it's okay. And if you think that the negotiations on immigration were done in good faith, I would invite you to step away from Fox News and The Blaze for a few minutes and read BBC articles on this. Or, for that matter, any non-mainstream media platform. The Republicans and Democrats had a bipartisan agreement that Trump refused to be a part of without his almighty 20 billion for his "big, beautiful, great wall" and then blames it on the Dems for not bowing to his whim. That is not negotiation. That is not compromise. To quote you, "that's cooperation in your view, that's bipartisan?"
Quote:You can't work with folks who don't want to work with you. Schumer and Pelosi have put the word out, don't cooperate with the Administration. No question about it.
They very likely have. Because, as you said, you can't work with folks who don't want to work with you.
BP-I'm not saying that you are wrong on all counts. I'm not even saying that I didn't agree with some of SOTU. Actually, quite a bit of it. But take the blinders off. It won't make you stop seeing your side of things, but it might help you see the other side more clearly.
