What is it about people that have no rational argument, that race and racism is the only answer they have for everything? Curious indeed.
That is hilarious irony and hypocrisy with a good dose of idiocy thrown in. You guys only complain and whine about people screaming "racism" when it's black people doing the screaming. But what happened the second we had our first HALF-black president?? Sooooo many on the right, wait for it, suddenly started screaming "racist" at him. Yup, tons of examples about him favoring blacks and hating white. So you guys are complete and utter hypocrites on this topic. You only mind the "race-card" when it is play on you.
Furthermore, while of course there are instances where "Racism" is called out where it doesn't exist, and yes that is annoying, there are still TONS of instances of true racism that occur all across the nation, and since Trump has become our leader, this has only seemed to increase.
By making a mockery of the idea of "racism", as if it barely exists anymore, as if it hasn't caused unimaginable damage to black people and communities for centuries in this country, shows what an unsympathetic, ahistorical, and racist-leaning individual that you truly are. Yes, it shows your true identity. It's not a funny little joke, actually, it's something that is a stain on our nation, and still a very big problem (and sure, it works both ways, but blacks have suffered racism at the hands of white 1000000x more than the other way around.)
Grow up, old man.
That is what I like to call a slap down
Yep, in Trumpland only discrimination against white people and the rich exist and any president in history having told one lie absolves Trump of all his wrongdoings.

There are no black people in the US who suffered in actual slavery, and there are no white people in the US who owned slaves.

No platform. Dems just hate, hate, hate.
Methinks you have never watched a State of the Uniom speech before (well, to be fair, no one had until last night).
There are always times during a State of the UNION speech when one side sits or does not applaud depending on what the president says.

No kidding. Who made that decision?
“You know what would be a great idea? Let’s drag a Kennedy out to give the rebuttal. “
“Great idea. That will make us look in touch with the rest of the nation.”
Trump won the white MALE vote in 2016, so it's not all that stupid to trot out a white male to give that rebuttal...shows those white men that the left still values white males. Trump is doing enough on his own to send people of color who voted for him back to the Democrats.

Most SOTU speeches are laundry lists of give aways to special interest groups. Usually the President makes it sound like everyone will get everything they've ever wanted. Or if you're Obama, you're so dull that no one can remember what you said.
This speech was different.

Trump speaks at a 3rd grade level. You just couldn't understand Obama.

It was different all right. To immediately start off the speech with a call for unity was laughable. The guy is the main cause of divisiveness in the country for the past several years. The only thing he is going to unify is his opposition.
It’s completely befitting our juvenile President that you all act like juveniles and bicker over how awesome a speech was.

Sure, both parties sit for the typical partisan and self-grandizing stuff. It's a tradition. But nothing like what we saw last night. And I've watched many, many SOTUs over the decades. Here's a partial list of things that weren't important enough for dems to stand:
Job growth
Economic growth
Tax cuts
Defeating ISIS
Anthem & Flag
Healthcare choice
Veterans benefits
Gov. accountability
Unifying America
America dream.
In God we trust
Life saving medicine
Curbing crime
Black employment
War on Drugs
Methinks YOU don't watch many SOTUs.

The problem is that last night everyone could see that the Democrats are the source of the divisiveness. They simple refused to even pretend to get along with Trump.

Don't forget, Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill) literally leaving during the USA chant. Fantastic example of the lunatic mindset he subscribes to.
Also, MSNBC's Joy Reid tweeted that the use of the terms "Church", "family", "police", "military", and "national anthem" were code words for a nostalgic era... and presumably racist undertones.
You liberals that support these kinds of mindsets, are truly deranged. The political left is very largely the insane element of society.

I've watched them all, all the way back to Jimmy Carter.
Democrats not standing for those things shows that either they don't agree with what Trump said about those things (him taking credit for much of it for example) or that, as someone else said, a stat is not good enough (like with black unemployment).
Curbing crime? Trump said in his inaugural speech that crime ended "right here, and right now". Columbus, OH had more murders in 2017 than ever before, and many cities were the same.
In God we trust? I wouldn't have stood for that either. Trump isn't a Christian despite what he says. "Two Corinthians" proved that.
This should not be a surprise...Trump is an incredibly divisive person, and many who oppose him have just had enough. He knows nothing about everything. Listening to him talk about things he knows nothing about is like going to a Catholic Priest to get marital counseling or listening to Oprah give advice about motherhood. Silly.

Yeah...that's called integrity.

And he doesn't even run!

I would agree that it shows the country is divided. That it shows the “source” of the divisiveness is a fallacy. While divisiveness has existed for many years, Trump has taken it to a whole new level. Why would you expect Democrats to applaud him when all he has done the past 2 years is tweet insult after insult.

Ummm, the American people are the ones that have been insulted by the garbage propaganda that has been perfected by the politicians and their media cohorts.

Correct
Not good optics for Dems.
So, repubs, feel like you are on a sinking ship?
Darrell Issa is retiring, Trey Gowdy retiring, Freylinghuysen retiring, Paul Ryan himself hasn't said he is running again, and 31 other Repubs are walking away from the sh$thole Trump has created. You are left. Holding the bag.
Clearly repubs in the house have no interest in being in the minority, so they are running away. Having non-incumbents running will give the Dems a much greater chance of winning the house.
