While watching President Trump deliver #SOTU, and as I started to feel the groundswell of pride in our great Country, a poem by T.S. Eliot came to mind.
The poem came to mind while watching Rep. Luis Gutierrez .@RepGutierrez, Democrat representing 4th District of Illinois and member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus walk out of #SOTU.

He walked out while #POTUS was paying respect to the nation's capitol: ''this living monument. This monument to the American people.''
He can be seen walking out at the .27-.28 second marker.

The poem came to mind while watching as the Democratic Black Caucus refused to stand, applaud or even smile while @POTUS was announcing historical, record-low #unemployment figures for the #AfricanAmerican and #Hispanic communities.

What came to mind was the famous poem 'The Hollow Men' by T.S. Eliot. Perhaps best known for the scene with Marlon Brando (as Coronel Kurtz) reading it near the end of Francis Coppola's film 'Apocalypse Now.' #MAGA@POTUS#LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

The film, with its 1979 theatrical release, is based loosely on the novel 'Heart of Darkness' by Joseph Conrad. #MAGA .@POTUS#marlonbrando
Watching those who purport to represent the interest of the African-American & Hispanic communities refuse to stand, or even applaud, upon hearing historically positive news for their constituents.

When it's more important to .@MaxineWaters to boycott the #SOTU, or to walk out during it, like .@RepGutierrez, than it is to remain seated and show your respect, not to .@realDonaldTrump if you take issue with him, but for the Country, its Institutions and its People.

Yet Ji Seong-ho, a disabled North Korean defector who had been subjected to torture by the regime, (and who has amputated limbs), could still muster the strength to stand and display the appreciation he feels being able to live in the #USA.
When the #Democrats, eager to find a port-of-entry to start booing .@POTUS begin when he's honoring the parents who have suffered the loss of their two daughters, only to stop after realizing the bad optics it presents.
Unlike .@POTUS' unifying and uplifting message behind the #SOTU, #patriotic Americans saw what the #LunaticLeft stand for, which is nothing. They have been brutally exposed; the curtain has pulled for all to see. And then T.S. Eliot's The Hollow Men began:
(1) This thread is about a Great American and a great movie. In fact, the movie was made by this Great American, who we affectionately know as #BillMurray.
(2) Unlike the current trend of celebrities jumping over each other to denigrate the efforts of the current administration and .@POTUS, during a short interview on #CNBC Mr. #BillMurray made the following 'positive' remarks (can jump to 1:50 if need be):
(3) It is a measure of how highly respected #BillMurray is by all sides of the political spectrum that he can offer the comments he made and not be attacked the next day.
(1) This is a #PSA (Public Service Announcement) regarding the 'newly reformulated' .8ml bottle/tincture of liquid Gold #Kratom extract produced by the brand #OPMS.
(3) This reviewer was unable to locate an official company release/announcement regarding the product change nor has the manufacturer updated their website, (with pictures of the new bottles), to advertise their newest formulation.
(1) "Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue...
(2) Those conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book."
- Excerpt from 'Fire and Fury' (Author's note, p.2).
(3) The lunatic-left call him unfit for office based on a book that the author himself (and those he writes about), says is, at least partially, untrue. They question his mental health based on drivel from Dr. Bandy X Lee, a psychiatrist who has never even met the man. #3DChess
(1) Matt...huge admirer. Agree on 99.9% of the issues BUT not on drug testing = benefits. I speak from many, many years of personal experience. False dichotomy (happy to try to persuade you too).
(2) Issue should be: Do you participate, or give back to society, in some way as compensation (or at a bare minimum, show appreciation), for what you receive from the goodness of society?
(3) Example: If I went to wo work (which I do, and always have), and I was 'high' (but you weren't aware of it), what/where is the harm?
