Is it just me or does anyone else find this years particularly amusing? Between the lovefest and so-called "dates" and the orange man's facial expressions

I lowed "smoked salmon" line..... Coincidentally Mitch's face has same color as smoked salmon!

So does Boehners

Biden looked like he was having a blast...

So was Paul Ryan crying at the prospect of following Obama's speech or was he doing some bong hits?

Only a couple hundred billion off on the deficit total.

I missed it last night, but I watched it via youtube. Good stuff overall.

I especially like the part when he said they would repeal tax cuts for the wealthiest 2%. I hope he can and does. They do not need it. They do not deserve it. It will add a ton to the deficit that the Repugnicunts keep whining about and will create ZERO JOBS. Trickle Down is one of those decades old fallacies that makes me very angry. It was a complete bust under Ronny Raygun. When has it ever created jobs? Anyone?

Trickle down works best for sewage.

Reaganomics will never die!

Every time someone says "trickle down" I'm reminded about the whole "corporate hierarchies are like a tree full of monkeys" bit. Smiling faces and all that.

Except monkeys don't smile unless we have taught them to. In nature, they bare their teeth.

I was referring to the joke:

Corporate hierarchies are like a tree full of monkeys. The ones on top look down and see a bunch of smiling faces. The ones on the bottom looking up see a bunch of a$$holes.

I know. My point was the ones on top look down and think the monkeys are smiling. But we're not.
