Honestly it felt more like Stacey, AOC, and Nancy's night more than Trump. However, you know the news media...they will spin this somehow to make Trump look like he gave a Presidential speech.
2019 State of the Union |OT| I'll allow it - Nancy (2/5 at 9pm ET)

I hope there's a DNC response to the RNC response to the Democratic SoTU response to the SoTU.
Ironically it's only them who are "stuck in the past" by only obsessively talking about the election result while Abrams said only relevant, present info.
Im still fucking pissed they keep saying she "lost"
Kemp was corruption incarnate. It wasn't a goddamn election.
“We’re the party of progress! Now, let’s take women’s rights back to the 1930s!”
Some people wanted the Democratic response to be a counter in a food fight.
Democrats can't get away with that.
More bluntly, Black Women can't get away with that.
Realize and understand the different ways society perceives different people. Abrams would not have escaped the Angry Black Woman caricature.
More to the point, and speaking personally, as a Black person...my heart was so warm, so fulfilled, at seeing this ignorant, stupid, unintelligent white man tripping over his words, so accustomed to privilege...being responded to by an intelligent and self-made Black Woman exhibiting the epitome of grace and eloquence. Stacey Abrams was in every way a contrast to the nearly two hours of mental vacancy we were just subjected to.

He's just nailing the economy stuff over and over so far.
Oh okay, I thought maybe it was a specific claim that she’s kinda mockingly clapping at him for.
I am also pissed, the Republicans had a unfair advantage in Georgia with Kemp being completely involved with the elections. Stacey did not lose, she got fucked over by the dirty tricks of the Republicans.
The only take away from this entire speech is Trump's threat of no legislation so long as he's being investigated.
That part was so strange and didn't fit the speech at all. It was terribly written and Hilarious that was his segue into criminal justice reform.
The whole speech was written so poorly. Steven Miller is such a racist fucking fraud.

Well she is black so I imagine there will tons of thinkpieces saying she was too aggressive.
Just like when Trump keeps saying he won - they know they didn't straight-up win.
Just slap in a pre-taped cassette from 20 years ago... A Bernie speech in a nutshell
Life expectancy, child poverty, infrastructure, health care
It’s really a much better response speech IMO
Hypnosis is a pretty common anti-semitic trope that Ilhan Omar got dragged for using in a tweet somewhat recently. Not to say you were doing so intentionally.
Exactly. After listening to the dummy stumble upon his words for 90+ minutes and wanting to shoot myself...figuratively of course, it was soothing and comforting to hear Stacey discussing what transpired in the last few months and what needs to be done.
EDIT: Here's her response in case people didn't catch it the first time.
This is why I'm playing more Kingdom Hearts 2 instead tbh.
I'd be genuinely interested in how he might frame his ideas about the border, if he were to bring it up. If it would be primarily economic, or also humanitarian.
I'm not sure that I agree with the idea that talking about the same thing since 2016 can be considered a "response" to current events, but to be fair I'm not listening now. He is a talented speaker, more in line with what some people in the thread seemed to want to hear.

Oooh, he's talking about investigations and putting his support behind them and railing against what Trump said earlier. And now he's going into immigration stuff. He started with his usual fare, but he's actually hitting him on his crimes and... he just called demonizing Latinos racist. Oh dang, he's going into the Las Vegas shooting and how Trump didn't mention it.
