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."

Hilarious. Not one, not a hundred, not even a thousand of the elitest cocksuckers has negotiated a peace yet. And, you still have faith in them actually accomplishing anything there? Let's send Joe the Plumber to fix the problem. He can start by flushing the shit out of the system. In terms you can understand, fire all of Israel's politicians, fire all of the Palestinian politicians, send the cops, army, and whoever else is available to demolish all the "settlements", and gun down the next son of a bitch who picks up a weapon - ON EITHER SIDE!!
Joe didn't go to college, but that doesn't make him stupid. Your Ivy League kids went to college, but that doesn't make them smart, either. It's just fucking POLITICS!! It isn't a science, FFS.
Abortion is the number one killed of children in the United States.

Here we have the anti-intellectual argument.
After billions of dollars and many decades of work cancer has not yet been cured, so fire all those elitist pricks with their fancy college degrees, years of relationship building and experience. Send in joe the plumber! Its just fucking cells, everybody has millions of cells, what could be easier?

I'm not an elitist prick. While I do have advanced degrees, none of them are in the life sciences. So, when it comes time for Runaway1956's lobotomy, can I do it? I call dibs.
