Although I disagreed with almost everything he said, for Trump, the speech was clear and well-delivered," Gutierrez said in a statement. "Whoever translated it for him from Russian did a good job." Gutierrez is one of the most outspoken members of Congress when it comes to helping young, undocumented people brought to the United States as children, and he said that while he remains hopeful, after hearing Trump's immigration proposal, he can't see Congress and the president coming to an agreement that protects DREAMers.
"The White House agenda is to gut legal immigration in exchange for allowing some of the DREAMers to live here," he said, and Democrats and Republicans who both support legal immigration won't go for this. "The DREAMers themselves have said they do not want legal status if it comes at the expense of others who will suffer more as part of the bargain," he added. "The speech did nothing to bring the pro- and anti-immigrant sides closer together."
More to the point, he offered little reason to hope that his second-year policies would be more constructive than those of his first. The president spent the past year attacking America’s democratic institutions and splitting the “American family.†His concern for building “one team†has not stopped him from ramping up deportations of harmless people or imperiling the future of the “dreamers,†all of whom have played their part on the American team. His desire for bipartisanship has not led him to negotiate with Democrats in good-faith on health care, taxes or immigration. His search for unity did not stop him Tuesday from taking a gratuitous dig at football players who kneel during the national anthem. As he took a victory lap on the economy, Mr. Trump displayed his typical indifference to the truth, claiming he “enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history.†They are not. (snip)
Mr. Trump did not mention many of the nation’s biggest, longer-term threats. The fiscal crisis, worsened by his tax bill, threatens future generations. Economic inequality is high. The world continues to warm. Russia’s meddling poses a threat to U.S. elections. Sadly, the morning after a very long speech, none of that is going to look any different.

Just discovered that Apple removed the functionality of iTunes to download, load or update apps for an iPhone. WHY THE FUCKING HELL WOULD THEY DO SOMETHING STUPID LIKE THAT?!
I'm done. First moment that my phone goes off contract, I'm selling it & getting an Android one.

Nope, unfortunately not.
Forcing people to update apps via their cell data is fucking atrocious, tho it can still be done over wi-fi. Still, downloading large files like that over a wireless connection is slow as hell. It's MUCH easier and faster to download it on a PC and update with the USB cable.
In the weeks before special counsel Robert Mueller’s team interviewed Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Justice Department turned over a cache of internal correspondence, including documents related to the proposed resignation of Sessions last year and emails with the White House about fired national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.

Listening to parts of the speech (SMShow) and he's worse than last year,added invisible commas, and pauses in the speach and it really sounded like he didn't know what he was reading.

'Rambling and incoherent' is about the kindest thing I could say.
Has any other SOTU featured as many people in the gallery that got called out last night?
And what was with all that physical posturing? I pulled up the classic photo of Mussolini thrusting his jaw, and Anal Fistula struck that pose more times than I could count.

I love my Galaxy but I'm starting to consider the Pixel - my contract ends next month and it looks like I'm finally gonna have to "buy/lease" the phone. Not looking forward to my bill going up again.

Look into Project Fi, Mala. Your bill will likely go down, even if you add in the phone payment.

It is cell service from Google. The cost for unlimited text and talk is $20.00. You pick how much data you want for $10 per gig. If you go over six gigs it goes unlimited. I typically use about .5 gigs in a month. I pay for my phone at $24.07 a month. I paid $55.80 last month.
Because there are no coincidences in politics, I'll note that a seat on the Fourth Circuit (covers South Carolina) became vacant just *yesterday* https://t.co/y7NrUsyEhQ https://t.co/F5GkbFu0YP
