Title: ACLU Upset at the President
Post by: EppyGA - White Christian Domestic Terrorist on February 01, 2018, 06:18:27 AM: Quote
After last night’s State of the Union address, the American Civil Liberties Union was extremely upset at the fact that President Trump used the word “America” more than 80 times throughout the course of his speech.

We all know the President should have been praising other countries! I mean, after all, aren't we the "United States of the World"?

No, you are confusing the rules for partisan conservatives with the rules for partisan liberals.

That's going to be a hard thing for them. Their hatred of Trump is going to give Republicans the opportunity to steal the issue, solve the issue and put it to bed without Democrats. But I somehow doubt that Republicans are smart enough to do it even though it would be a huge coup for them and a huge disaster for the Dems.
