WFB: President Donald Trump argued socialism has no place in America during his State of the Union address because it was “founded on liberty and independence and not government coercion.”
Trump blasted the socialist economy of Venezuela in his speech Tuesday, tying it to a growing movement of democratic socialism in the Democratic Party. He started by celebrating the ascension of Juan Guaido to the presidency, as the U.S. and others have recognized but strongman Nicolas Maduro has disputed.
“We stand with the Venezuelan people in their noble quest for freedom and we condemn the brutality of the Maduro regime, whose socialist policies have turned that nation from being the wealthiest in South America into a state of abject poverty and despair,” Trump said.
“Here in the United States, we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country. America was founded on liberty and independence and not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free and we will stay free,” Trump said, to wide applause from Republicans and some Democrats. “Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country.”
Clapping, cheers, and chants of “USA” followed Trump’s declaration of resolve. MORE [Video with Bernie Sanders’ reaction]
Mr. grumpy old fart (his frowny is upside downy) has got an oh shit, my ideas are busted because President Trump tells the truth and he knows he’s fucked. And he looks like he’s constipated and needs to take a huge dump to relieve himself from listening to Trump. Everyone on the right knows you’re an commie/socialist ass Bernie, now we have a picture of you in supreme asshole mode.
I did not see RBG. Seems she can make it to a musical about herself but can’t quite make it to the SOTU address.
@Tosk – Ginsburg has never attended a Republican SOTU.
Did not watch,,,
Was waiting to hear Bernie did a 1981 “Scanners” happening,

I’m happy he said that but amazed that such a thing would ever have to be said in America.
And just like that, Bernie Sanders life’s work of avoiding work was dismissed by President Trump.
Got some bad news for ya, Mr. President …
izlamo delenda est …
‘did not see RBG’ Nor did she,,,
Last words heard was ‘I like grapes’,,,
We may not be a socialist country but boy do we have a lot of socialists helping to ruin the country!
And along came Trump, an American. One of us.
As Soros said, ” everything has gone wrong.”
I just got through reading another biography of Jack London. He was an avowed Socialist all his adult life until his followers demanded that he dispose of his very hard earned money. Just like Bernie Sanders, he loved his mansions and the good life, but he earned all of his money. The only blood on it was his own. London never ate from the public trough. I can understand intelligent people believing that Socialism had the answer for the vast inequalities that existed in the early decades of the last Century; but after observing the death and destruction that it brought to the world, how can any educable person fall for this tripe? Bernie Sanders and his adopted daughter, AOC, don’t need no stinkin’ examples! Cuba and Venezuela don’t have to show us no stinkin’ successful economies!

I spent most of the evening watching Pelosi’s face, knowing that was where the real fun was going to be. I wasn’t sure if her shoes were too tight, her face lift staples were popping out, or the vibrator she was sitting on was left on high to the point of irritation. The best parts were the tongue adjusting of her constantly floating dentures and her facial ticks. Not sure if the VP had a electric prod attached and he was randomly zapping her just for our amusement.
The people crying about Russian collusion are the same ones wanting to turn us into the United Socialist States of America.
Our favorite little barmaid is pouring the same old totalitarian wine into new bottles.
If you want Socialism, we will gladly accept your renounced citizenship and send you to the failed country of your choice.
At that point Bernie looked like a cooked lobster. I think I actually heard him scream like one “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
Whoever was in the control booth calling the shots for the press pool cameras is a genius! They knew EXACTLY where in the speech to focus on the right people. Genius. Sarah Sanders?
Looks like someone pissed in Bernie’s water bottle…
If Bernie had only turned a slightly darker shade of purple he might have stroked out for us all live on national TV. Imagine watching re-runs of THAT comrades…
Shouldn’t he be in a balcony, yelling at the other muppets? 🤔
Old Bernie looked like a cooked lobster. All RED
