It can't be "our House"...because if it were, then they would be paying us rent.

What is this clown response? Is she really this dumb and blind?

It's anything that doesn't conform with his version of how the government should operate. Like government regulation of trade is socialism unless it is used to achieve free but fair trade.

Beats Bernie picking Tim Kaine's nose. 
Every SOTU, the President designates a Cabinet member to sit out the speech just in case something happens, (terrorist attack, explosion) that wipes out the political leadership. (one of Tom Clancy's novel had this as a plot point).
This year it was "um, um, um, um,..." (Rick Perry for those with short memories).
Dodged that bullet.

Now we have the Demo response from Stacey Abrams....Ooops, she's already calling out Trump....Now she's railing against Repub's, the caging of children at the Southern border. Yep, voter suppression against blacks and racial prejudice with some Jim Crow thrown in for good measure......Done.

A homeless shelter belongs to all of us too, but those using it don't pay rent either.
Quiz: Which represents less of a burden on the taxpayers?

I know, barahona. Actually I should have deleted that post. Not a pretty sight nor was Stacie Abrams, for that matter.
I predict history will prove that tonight will be Stacie Abrams career high water mark. She is intellectually challenged and on a losing streak to boot. No wonder she is getting a big push by the Democrats and the media.

Easy...the HOMELESS shelter. Because we don't send the inhabitants into retirement by way of golden parachutes.

I was actually surprised how well she spoke. Basically a feel-good speech with a veiled agenda.

She does speak well, Gary. But that's about it. She offers nothing of substance to the debate. Plus, she lost her last election.

Do you think any left wing media outlet will ask Barry Obama about the speech and Trump's many, many, many successes?

Or pay them $174,000 a year, plus much more for staff and expenses, while they occupy the House. For little if any more productivity in aid of the country.
