State of the Union Address?

I doubt I watch, unless only for the comedy of it all.
Like when Jim and Tammy Baker had their TV show.
You had to watch for the comedy of it all.
No one really needs to watch Trump, however.
Donald isn't that funny. The word is pathetic.
Fox News is already aligning their spin to parallel with Donald's spin on Tuesday evening.
Fox, hosting guest after guest claiming women at the border are being raped, kidnapped, used for sex trafficking.
All of it their proof that a wall is needed.
Well no doubt this will be exactly what Donald Trump echos on Tuesday evening, word for word.
By sticking to his lies and scare tactics trying again to gain a hint of support (and MONEY) for "his" wall.

So, there you have it. Donald Trump's entire state of the union address.
More lies, name calling, division, dividing, lunacy, just your typical evening with Donald Trump.
The only way I could watch this would be heavily sedated. Drunk out of my mind. Stoned. 😵
Just like the members of Trump's administration every day. Heavily sedated.

I'm pretty sure I could come away fuming. But there is this very good chance that the Degenerate-in-Chief will do what you say. I want to see the reaction from Congress, and I want to hear the rebuttal.

I"ll record it. Of course the man doesn't have a single practical idea. The Wall is a symbol, based on attempts to keep out foreigners in ancient history. It is a symbol that we don't want any S**cs coming up from the South. They will say "Oh, no! We want Lee-gal immigration!", but the Asshole has already given vent to his racism in numerous ways -- from the remarks about Norwegians to the new attempt at policies to keep Africans and others out.

Everything they do and say is deceit of the most callous and cynical kind. We'll hear more of it. Sometimes, I think the Dems miss the subtleties and lose the chance to reply and rebut. But that's the nature of deceit.

Remember Donnie's remark about the "little wine and the little wafer"? It took me a couple months before I realized it. I only guess that John Kasich figured it out.

We'll see what the Couch-Potato-TV-addict-in-Chief has to say. I'm hoping he'll just sow more division. The man is totally incapable of any sincere outreach, compromise or reconciliation. And maybe by next year -- we'll be at war in a conflict that could spell our doom or at least gross pain.

What would someone like that do, after hurting 800,000 people who have nothing to do with the border issue? You can make predictions, even if they are vague.
 
It's important to know what the president is planning. However, the media can usually distill that for me. So I don't plan to watch. I don't plan to record it either - government speeches like this are always on YouTube. But I might change my mind.
 
I know ratings don't work this way. But I'll avoid it and watch Stacy's rebuttal instead just out of spite of Hair Führer.
 
I predict he’ll go off script for at least 3 minutes—and no one will understand wtf he is talking about.
 
Lie lie lie, I am the greatest, unity, lie lie lie Pocahontas, I am the bestest ever, lie lie lie Pelosi wants Mexicans to kill you in your sleep, I'm the best that ever lived lie lie lie unity again.
 
If he stays on script, it will be a whiny snooze fest. A Congresscritter needs to do something to get him off script. Maybe hold up a sign reading "pee pee tape". Once off script, Trump can never get back on and then it's TV worth watching.
 
If he stays on the teleprompter, we'll know it and we'll know it's not his words.
If he goes off the teleprompter it will be a shitshow.

It's lose-lose. So who gives a shit.
 
If someone yelled "You Lie", would everyone go DUH ?

If a different Congressperson yelled "You lie!" every time Trump uttered a falsehood, how many different Congresspersons would yell, and for what percentage of the SOTU speech would Congresspersons be yelling?

I've decided I'll be watching this time, but then I I'm the sort who likes sticking forks in electrical sockets. Normally, I'd rather press my tongue in a waffle iron than watch that varnished gourd preening and braying and sniffing for 90 minutes while half a room grimaces and the other half cheers him on like he's shitting Krugerrands
 
I won't watch it. If I wanted to attend one of his rallies and mingle among the deplorables I'd just find the nearest rally. Otherwise he's just going to spew the same old BS along with a sprinkling of whining. He won't be talking to people like me anyway, he'll be talking to his "base" of ignorant meat socks.
 
It'll be a waste of time like the last one. Trump says something stupid, Republicans clap for ten seconds, rinse and repeat.

I'll watch it if I don't go snowboarding tonight, otherwise I'll just read the recap by Cillizza on cnn.com tomorrow morning.

Let's play bingo
 
Not watching. I would like to see one Dem walk out every time he lies. The place will be half deserted in 10 minutes.
 
I watched the last one, Trump delivered a great speech. I'll be watching tonight. It is amazing how different the press portrays Trump compared to listening to what he actually says.

Yeh, it'll be great. I'm sure most of America is cringing in anticipation.
 
I like how Melania was kind enough to invite a kid to the SOTU because of how much he was being bullied... due to his last name being Trump. You can't make this shit up. 😵

An 11-year-old boy in Wilmington, Delaware, who was bullied because his last name is Trump will be Melania Trump’s guest at Tuesday night’s State of the Union address.

Back in December, Joshua Trump was allowed to change his last name to Berto after enduring relentless bullying from his fellow students.

Joshua’s mom, Megan Trump, said the bullying began when President Donald Trump began his presidential campaign, and has gotten worse.

“He said he hates himself, and he hates his last name, and he feels sad all the time, and he doesn’t want to live feeling like that anymore, and as a parent that’s scary,” she said.
