Nobody believes that Trump is going to do anything other than his normal for the sotu address that Pelosi is finally allowing him to give.

Far from uniting the nation - of which he is incapable - it will be one more morsel for The Base to devour while everyone else scratches their head and wonders wtf he is even babbling about.

If he declares a national emergency on the Mexican border in order to try and fund the Wall he will be buried in Washington politics for good.

The bigger story is the GOP swamp creatures mobilizing to counter his afghanistan and syria draw downs.

Peace with honor is one of the holy grails of politics, and this political numbnuts is not going to be able to do it.

..and now for the real news.

Rich People Are Fleeing Connecticut

Lawmakers like Connecticut’s Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy should pay attention to the latest batch of IRS data, which show tax payers – particularly wealthy ones – are leaving Connecticut for states like Florida, where there is no income tax, and New York City, where taxes are high but at least you can order Chinese food at 4 am.

Indeed, as the Hartford Courant points out in an editorial, the latest data reveal that Connecticut is in the middle of a taxpayer exodus.

Those who moved out of Connecticut from 2015 to 2016 took with them more than $6 billion in adjusted gross income, or AGI.

A $14B tax increase? Cuomo’s claim 'grossly misleading,' critics say

"The governor’s use of numbers has been grossly misleading," said E.J. McMahon, founder of the Empire Center, a fiscally conservative think tank in Albany.

"He clearly wants New Yorkers to believe their taxes are going up by $14 billion, or 25 percent on average -- which is simply not true and won’t ever be true."

Something everyone on CanCon does every time you open your yap.

Right now, Trudeau should be kissing Trump's ass thanking him for the boost in Canada's economy. Face it, the ONLY reason our economy is supposedly rolling along is because of the improvement in the US economy. Groper has not done a single thing to increase development or investor confidence in Canada.

Meanwhile in the US unemployment is at historical lows. There are so many decent paying jobs available that employers are finally making their workplaces more disabled friendly, hiring people with disabilities and even giving those with criminal records a second chance. Unemployment among Blacks, Hispanics and women is the lowest it has ever been since they started tracking that data.

As for your shit about the Mexican border. Every f*cking President from Bush Sr. until Trump has publicly stated that there was a security crisis on their southern border. EVERY... F*CKING...ONE OF THEM! But it wasn't until Trump came along that the Dumpycraps and their media lapdogs started screaming that Trump is manufacturing the crisis.
Meanwhile, knuckle dragging troglodytes like you are only too happy to push the narrative because for some reason, you think defending the established political elite will somehow earn you their favour or something.

How is it that Melania has become double the pumpkin colour of Donald? Does she spend her days tanning on top of the White House?

Big snow job from POTUS and full of erroneous information or unverifiable numbers. BUT it is snow season in DC and his calls for unity will be forgotten soon. My guess is the Construction Units of the military will probably build whatever it becomes on our southern border.

Governor of NM decides to pull the national guard from the border - as they are not required.

That's the "teleprompter" Donald offering us a heart-felt speech written by a flunky.

Wait for the "Twitter" Donald to undo it all over the next little while.

Trudeau takes questions from the audience.

Other than maybe Obama I can't think of another leader who does that.

Yes, Hoid...Trudeau takes questions from the audience.

It's where the word 'peoplekind' entered our lexicon, and the point where Justin's handlers made him dial back on the off-the-cuff chatting with regular Canadians.
