#1 I thought the speech was blunt, clear, and gave no hope whatsoever to anyone who thought that Trump was just woofing during the campaign. We're just so used to hearing nuanced double-talk that the speech had a surprising quality to it.

And I thought Trump very clearly defined his role as he sees it: he is an American president, not a citizen of the world who's going to stop the seas from rising. After the last eight years the idea of the president of America actively promoting American interests is truly shocking.

To me the key thing is the growth rate. If a year from now the GDP is growing at a no-bullshit 4% clip -- which is a really tall order from where we are now-- the deficit starts to shrink, the country looks more economically stable, and foreign investors are lining up to take a number.

#2 The state of the union address is going to be interesting.

#3 "Dark" is the new libtard mantra. Delete it from any comments or news articles for the next few weeks and they'll come up empty.

Interesting, this image keep going to Google.com

Blossom Unains5562 URL appears to be fine.

I tried uploading the image, but apparently I have to wait before it will show up to be selected.

A possible bug in the software? I posted the URL (at top) so others can see for themselves.

#9 I suspect, as in many, a contributor to the confusion may be the new DNS stable HTTPS: protocol. Thank you ICANNt. Notice the browser URL banner changes to SECURE HTTPS: when you are rerouted to Google.
