The longest State of the Union address in American history lasted over two hours.

Donald Trump talked about children when they were useful to him, parading stories of kids he claimed were hurt by immigrants and transgender policies. He never mentioned the ones his government is hurting.

Unaccompanied immigrant children are being threatened with jail and told the government will go after their families if they don't sign documents giving up their legal rights. This happens before they ever reach the shelters where federal law guarantees them attorneys and judges. Legal advocates filed an emergency petition today to stop it. These are children alone in the U.S., and the government is racing to deport them before anyone with a law degree can say hello.

Trump also never spoke about the children whose abuse is detailed in the Epstein files. A new analysis found that over 90 FBI interview records are missing from the DOJ's document release. Three are connected to a child who says Epstein abused her and who also accused Trump of sexual assault.

With Trump it's always what he doesn't say that matters most.

14) The last time we had a "Golden Age" in America, the Morgans and Vanderbilts were running things. The rich got richer, and the rest of us groveled for scraps.

#1 Jared Kushner's "special envoy" position is a joke! His conflicts of interest might rival Trump's mentions in the Epstein files.

Trump claims Biden weaponised the DOJ against him, yet he may as well go ahead and rename it to 'The Donald J. Trump Department of Litigation and Personal Petty Vendettas.

Things are half the country being robbed while the other half (ok 1/3rd) helps the robbers and tries to attack the first half on their behalf

#14 So... golden age, roaring economy, but affordability crisis, but that's the Democrats' fault, somehow they're ruining the country even though the GOP has the WH and congress. Nothing but hot air except for his promise/threat to rig future elections – "We want to cheat. We have cheated, and our policy is so bad that the only way we can get elected is to cheat" (he literally said that except he used 3rd person pronouns since he was projecting as usual) – and lies about Iran set to war drums.

PS: Fuck AP. So many lies parroted verbatim without fact checking. E.g., Iran having missiles that threaten Europe. As an EU citizen, I could list a few countries that currently pose a major threat to us and to world peace in general. But Iran isn't among them.

Number 5: You cannot appeal a grand jury finding; the case has not been adjudicated yet. You can present your findings to a new grand jury (no double jeopardy), but there is not appeals process for the GJ.

#13 when a bank asks me for citizenship data I will no longer be banking with them. I was born in US and tbh that shouldn't matter for storing my money

Tit-for-tat... have all of those millionaires be forced to provide passports and birth certificates for the countries they have all their off-shore bank accounts in. Every. Single. One.

100% agree. Banking does not require citizenship.

These are the people who charged for oxygen on Mars in Total Recall.

My state in Australia is pushing for the orange turd to come here. On top of that there is a plan before council to build a tower with his stupid name on it right on the gold coast by a dude that has gone bankrupt. TWICE. I'll be fighting to get that plan rejected and encouraging others to do the same.

Hands off our coastline ya fukkin' cunt!

It's more than twice. Also, can you let him go there, and arrest him while he is there? Please?

If he does come visit, can you guys do us a solid and manage to 'lose' him near a body of water? I know it wouldn't be completely unprecedented for a politician to just disappear into the background one fine day, never to be heard from again.
