America's new president gave an address to a joint session of Congress. The Los Angeles Times posted a full transcript of the speech (along with remarks from its staff that may require Javascript to view); Bloomberg uploaded a video of the event.
The New York Times called it "the most presidential speech Mr. Trump has ever given — delivered at precisely the moment he needed to project sobriety, seriousness of purpose and self-discipline."

Did you just accuse him of not knowing you and then immediately turn around claim to know him?
By making the accusation he revealed information about himself. Let us note in particular how much writing he spent discussing my alleged mental failings without providing even the slightest sliver of evidence or reason which is very peculiar for someone claiming to have such evidence and reason. Where did that come from then? My view is that if it didn't come from actual evidence, then it's internally fabricated. That's what psychological projection is all about.
You have got to be one of the least self-aware people on soylent.
Says the person who complained that I was doing a tu quoque fallacy and then proceeded to do it as well. I think the glaring problem here is not that I'm somehow not "self-aware" despite considerable evidence to the contrary (such as acknowledging that I can be wrong), but rather that you, Zz9zZ, and a bunch of other people aren't other-aware. There has been a ridiculous amount of owned goals here such as an AC accusing someone of being blind to the faults of Trump because... the other AC notes that Trump can and has read a fair number of prepared speeches or Zz9zZ accusing me and others of being Trump supporters merely because we don't buy the idea of impeachment for lying. The delusion and batshit crazy is getting pretty heavy in this thread.
But here's your chance to have a grown up moment. Trump says X in the news. Find where Trump tweeted not X. Before that X. Before that not X... etc. It sounds like there's probably dozens of shiny examples of flip-flops in Trump's short career. Use those to mock his inability to tell the truth, to have a concrete opinion, etc. It's not impeachment material, but it works. Demanding that he get impeached for something no one has been impeached for before is stupid and self-defeating. Nailing Trump for the things he does wrong works.
