The State of the Union is going to be vomitous

I sure as hell ain't gonna watch, but I bet it'll be a total shitshow. He'll insult Democrats, proclaim his innocence and announce new rollbacks on civil rights and the environment. There's no reason for him to even pretend to be a real president.

It will be interesting to contrast the stone-faced Democrats with the wildly cheering MAGAs on the other side of the aisle.

in reality the proper response to him is to walk away and deny him half his audience, but if the dems protest the speech they will be called petty, sore losers, and of course "both sides are equally bad". That's all bullshit but that never stops the media.

tricky Dick & I'm having a problem with ME missing one now. However, I've resorted to muting the TV when DT is on or even a clip. I'm tired screaming obscenities at the TV! I suspect I'll turn it on and see if I can manage to watch, but if I get too upset, I'll go watch the ID channel,

That just inflates his ego. Wait until it is over and then every Tom, Dick & Harry in DC will have a turn at the microphone. We’ll hear about his goof ups, mispronunciations, lies and more lies. And one need never feed that beast by listening/watching him bloviate.

I want to see if he goes full Hitler.

I want to see if his speech has worsened.

I want to see the entire evil shit show.

I want to be informed about what is coming next.

This country is in for a rough ride.

Not knowing does not have a single advantage.

He will be emboldened more then any time in his presidency.

No one knows what will come out of his mouth.

He has proven time and time again no one controls what he says or does.

His speech will be written by Stephen Miller and it will be atrocious.

Will we get campaign Trump, or the drugged subdued Trump.

He could stroke out on live TV.

I don't want to miss any of it.
