Trump painted a rosy picture last night. If he even mentioned the opioid crisis I missed it.

Only a foolish president wouldn't "paint a rosy picture". Also, the state of the union is stronger now than 50 years ago. Our allies are far better off and more stable. Our enemies have been reduced to rag tag bands of angry jihadists whose IQ borders around 80. Misfits.

The industrial revolution and technological revolution have created unimaginable wealth. When I was a kid my Dad went with Nixon to China, what a difference has taken place in half a lifetime. Likewise with India and Russia.

Even North Korea is talking with South Korea.

You forgot about the opioid epidemic too. He said he'd fix it. But, to my knowledge, all he's done so far is declared it an emergency.

And that's not all he forgot. According to The Atlantic Trump's state of the union was "unrecognizable".

"A long, surprisingly standard speech ignored the tumultuous lived reality of American politics over the past year—and the likely reality in the year to come." https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...izable/551927/

Did you see that 60 Minutes special on Opioids?

As soon as the proposed "Drug Czar" Rep. Tom Marino was implicated, Trump immediately removed him from consideration.

You can't tell me that Trump has done nothing.

It's not so easy to sort out the good from the bad in the swamp.

Imagine how much you could do if the CIA, FBI, DOJ, and NSA top brass were all out to destroy and impeach you?

So now it's just fine that Russia meddled in our elections, the enemy has become our very own intelligence community.

Who's couping who?

No evidence that Trump meddled with the Russians or affected the vote.

What we have heard for more than a year from MSM is just Urban Legend.

By all accounts the election of Trump was totally legit.

The campaign to smear Trump, blockade his policies, destroy his administration, and eventually impeach him is absolutely the more serious matter.

The real damaging evidence so far implicates Comey, McCabe, Ohr, Strzok, Page at the FBI, and Lynch, Rosenstein at DOJ.

And motive to elect Hilary and destroy Trump becomes obvious when examining Uranium One. That's the real Russia collusion story, and FBI is sitting on lots of evidence over that.

What? Certainly not "by all accounts"

Have you learned any evidence of this from Muller's year long probe?

Muller has not disclosed anything that he has learned yet.
