The star was born when she won by 15 points.

If they had facts & figures, they would use them. But they don’t have them. That’s why they ALWAYS resort to ad hominems & vague generalities (“Ruining the democracy!” & “Racist psychopath!”).

+1

With all Trump's half-truths and lies, a rebuttal is pointless. There is no argument between fact and fiction.

Did Spanberger post this?

All kidding aside, I thought she was awful. She talks about making things more affordable, yet she's proposing a ton of taxes that will make almost everyone broke. As for when she spoke about Trump being "divisive," talk about the pot calling the kettle black. She is also a huge liar. She misled voters into believing she is a moderate, and she hid the $500,000 in donations she received from the Sports Betting Alliance and the $100,000 she received from the CEO of the proposed Tysons Casino development company. Crooked Spanberger is already destroying our state.

Spanberger’s assessment of Trump’s speech: He has offered no solutions to the nation’s most pressing issues.

And yet, Spanberger and legislative Democrats in VA are about to make the cost of living much higher for Virginians. Talk about hypocrisy.

You can tell Trump and the Republicans really hate Americans

Is he lying though? Once you leave the northeast, the country looks very scary.

Unless you make 1 million a year or more, you are struggling

Part of that is the deportation of immigrants. Groceries are picked by migrants in harsh sun and conditions. Work Americans don’t do because they most are mentally or physically ill and cannot work on farms for 12 hours a day. Yet we think somehow we are equipped for more war? Who’s going? The uber eats generation?

Good for him. Call Trump out for his obvious racism.

That’s a very tough assignment and she really did it well.

Yes, it’s hard to talk that long without putting forth any actual plans or programs.

We all know that she completely embarrassed grandpa right in his own dementia ward, that’s why they set the attack dogs loose last night online and why we are seeing such a strong reaction to it by the bots and morons.

Abigail Spanberger in the Democratic response to the SOTU:

“He’s enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There’s the coverup of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms. Putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation’s Capitol. This is not what our founders envisioned, not by a long shot.”

[Anonymous]

So in short, the SOTU was nothing new, just a bunch of the usual Trump theatrics and bloviation, lacking any real substance.

You couldn’t be more wrong about both points. The Northeast is a idiot echo chamber—no common sense allowed.

Lots of people live wonderful lives on a small fraction of $1 million. Only fools need $1million.

Here’s a list of new taxes and tax increases Democrats, led by Spanberger, have proposed in Richmond:

Additional local sales tax in all Virginia counties and cities
New personal property tax on electric leaf blowers and electric landscaping equipment
Large employer tax
Gun and ammunition tax
New income tax brackets
Delivery tax, which would hit Amazon, Uber Eats, FedEx, and UPS orders in Northern Virginia
Investment income tax
Event tax
Storage facility tax
Gym membership tax
Dog walking tax
Dog grooming tax
Counseling tax
Digital personal property tax
New car taxes and highway use fees
Increase in the hotel tax in Arlington
Statewide speed cameras (not a tax, but more fines for drivers)
Vehicle repair tax
Home repair tax
Dry cleaning tax
Rideshare tax
Fantasy sports tax

Spanberger did not propose these—state lawmakers did. And she has not endorsed these proposed taxes.

The admin does something crazy daily at this point. The antics are stale and I don’t know if anyone cares. He got on stage and did and said the same things that he always does. Other than the awards there was nothing special about the speech. It’s just another day in the Trump administration.

It was very boring.

That's why y'all watched it and spent 27 pages whining about it!

That’s not really very much for a state of the union. Eventually the same old lies get even more boring.

She will forever be known as the bait-&-switch Karen who invented the dog -walking tax.

No she won’t. She didn’t propose it—a state lawmaker did. HB 978, proposed by Del. Vivian Watts (D-Fairfax), included taxing a wide range of services, including pet care, according to The Virginia Mercury.

Plus that specific bill has been shelved until 2027. You act like it already passed, which it didn’t.

Any other false claims? I’ll be happy to fact check them for you.
