They sit first come/first serve for the address and move around and sit with friends, so no chart unless someone took a photo and made a map.

I was pissed when I saw the Dems fail to stand in tribute to the SEAL. I did something I never do: Sent an e-mail to a political party.
I asked the the Chairman of the county Democratic party if he would have stood during the speech. I will post again if the dude responds. I wont hold my breath.
Also on the local Dem website is a button to push to join the party. Right under the button is the phrase "Push here to to pay to join the party".
Uhh... Pay to join? NOOOOOO!
Update:
The dude wrote back and said:
The Dems did stand.
He pointed out that Owens father expressed criticism of the raid. Niether here nor there, the man lost his life in service to his country.
Did not bother to say if HE would have stood, which was my specific question.
So... This guy and I must have watched two different speeches!

[FLASH_VIDEO]<iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6A0bhAsAyGY" width="420"></iframe>[/FLASH_VIDEO]

Is that thunder in the background or the righteous anger of the American people at the Leftists disrespectful behavior towards Mrs. Ryan?

Another moment from the speech:

quote:

Trump also singled out the family of Jamiel Shaw II, a high school student murdered by Pedro Espinoza, an illegal immigrant. Democrats booed and gasped at Trump’s immigration overhaul surrounding these victims, but again seemed to fail to understand how stories like these resonate with voters.

Jamiel Shaw, the father appeared on Fox and Friends after the speech and was asked to give his thoughts on the Democrats’ reaction.

“I just ignore them, like they do me,” he said.

It's always been that way, as long as I can remember. Dem. President speaks, Rep. congressmen and senators sit. Rep. President speaks, the Dems sit. There are few rare cases when some on the opposite side stood up, and tonight was no exception, but in general, it has always been that way.

Kinda. What has always happened is when talking policies, each side either stands or sits based on their political position. What has NOT happened is that when a regular American or as in this case the widow of an American hero is introduced BOTH sides ALWAYS stood and applauded.

The dems sitting on their hands in this case was unprecedented, rude and a perfect illustration of the democrat party of 2017.

^^^This times 1,000. The Dem's set an new all time low for a speech like this, and we need to punish them severely for it when the next election cycle comes around.

DOW is up 300 pts to 21,121. Gold is flat and silver is up a little too.

TRUMP BUMP is turning into a mountain.

Doubt it. I bet Bill is on Underage Island and Hill is in her cryo-preservation chamber.

Is it a chamber bought from the Michael Jackson estate?

Trump could cure cancer, epilepsy, and the common cold and the Dems would give him no credit. Their canned reply to the rocketing markets is that Barry set the table for Donald and they hoped he could carry on dear leader's success. We have to clean their clock again in 2020.

I emailed to a number of DEM politicians that the white outfits were creepy.

I told them it looked like the Stepford Wives or the Jim Jones cult.

Being Chinese I thought they were a funeral party.

I needed to go by my father's house last night to deliver a message. He watches only a limited amount of TV. He said that he had watched the speech, and was very impressed! This from a 98 year old man who enlisted during World War II, was recalled during Korea, and retired from the military during Vietnam!

The earlier post on Stein's article about listening to the "music" of a speech. I remember the speeches of our recently departed POTUS - his sounded like BAD rap when he talked (and I don't care for that style of "music" in the first place). His speed and pitch changes were very hard to follow.

I've only heard part of the speech (read the text later when I could), and this speech has the fingerprints of several good speechwriters in it in terms of flow and topics. I'm hoping he keeps those people on speed-dial for future speeches.

I don't post much on politics anymore ... mainly because I'm quite satisfied with the current result.

I do make observations of the enemy and their antics/denial, but I sure don't get fired up on their churlish behavior these days - just not worth building up the steam to give a shit.

However, my key takeaway are those former (D)s who are blue collar, working class folks who have got onboard the Trump-train. Some of these folks are in their 80s and remember America as a great nation, winning.

They may not be terribly vocal, but they vote. Even feedback from the SotU speech last night was interesting; seeing more and more support from these folks.

It's very simple ... Trump is saying outloud what no prior politician (D) or (R) would ever dare to say - the plain truth about our Nation and our problems. Add that to the fact that Americans like winners, and Trump has enough support to do what needs to be done.

The Establishment is the problem and it includes career bureaucrats, media, and both the RNC and DNC. Trump disrupts this and I dig it.

I don't argue this any longer; I just smile.

Chuck Schumer in an interview with Matt Lauer:

Lauer: “You didn’t find a lot of reasons to stand and cheer, but give me one thing the president said in that speech last night, Senator, where you found yourself saying ‘Yes! I can join him and get behind him on that issue.'”

Schumer: “I’ll say yes when he comes up with something that really helps working people and says I want to work with Democrats…”

“So in an hour, you didn’t hear one thing that you can stand behind this morning?” Lauer interjected.

“I was touched by the mention of the widow of the brave soldier who died in Yemen and things like that, but no ,” Schumer replied.

Schumer is playing a weak hand as if he had a lock on winning. Who are the DEM leaders right now ? Schumer, Pelosi, Warren, Sanders, Perez and Ellison. A lot of Americans aren't buying their crap any more.

Many Americans aren't just "disagreeing" with them, a lot of voters are ignoring them and are uninterested in their message.

He can't even say he's on board with reducing the cost of prescription drugs? A comment that got 1/3 to 1/2 the Dems to stand up? Or keeping the pre-existing conditions mandate?

Or spending cray-cray amounts of $ on "infrastructure?"

It isn't like Trump is straight up Libertarian, plenty of more liberal issues there as well.

Anyone wth a triple digit IQ knows why Schumer is acting this way. It certainly has nothing to do with the truth or with helping Americans, I'll tell you that much.

His behavior, as well as the behavior of his disgusting fellow dems, is no surprise at all. These insects are entirely predictable.

Schumer thinks he's winning whenever the camera is on him. That is the center of the universe.

His behavior on commercial airliners reveals this POS for what he is. Look at how he treats flight attendants and fellow passengers. He's an asshole to those he thinks are below his station, a genuine asshole. It's a matter of record.

It tells you everything about this arrogant prick.

A Jewish friend of mine on Facebook was lamenting about how no leaders have addressed the issue of these recent attacks on cemeteries and Jewish centers. I guess she didn't listen to the speech last night because I'm pretty sure I recall Trump addressing exactly that.

I hope they find the people responsible for these attacks.
