Who’s watching the SOTU speech tonight?

Horace is trying that irony thing again - I think he might be overdoing it a bit, but I guess he does live in Texas. Everything is so much more down there.

Not always. Here's from a Texas Democrat.

I doubt it changed many votes, but the outlier insufferables like Omar and Tahlib on the D side must be terrible for national Dem politics. My guess is that if the Dems had it to do over again, they'd just not show up to the speech en masse.
Education is extremely important.

Democrats’ Response to the President’s Big Speech: What’s True, What’s Spin
By Francis Gauthier-
Let's see Francis Gauthier provide a comparable fact-checking write up against claims made in Trump's SOTU speech.

Or let's see @mik quotes a comparable fact-checking write up against claims made in Trump's SOTU speech.
Yes, every time anybody posts anything supportive of the right on TNCR, we should make sure it's counterbalanced by something that attacks the right.
If only we had any posters here brave enough to attack the right. I have to admit, under the fascistic rule of Donald Trump, I can understand why nobody is willing to. I wouldn't want to be thrown into the gulags either.
We must face facts. The human race simply does not contain a single person presently with the bravery required to say anything negative about Trump.
Maybe, Ax, you can be that guy? Just once? Maybe, if someone says something negative about him, and doesn't immediately get imprisoned, it will break the seal. You could win the congressional medal of freedom, or maybe even the Nobel Peace Prize.
It just takes one person.

Yeah they’re almost cartoonishly bad.

The republics are running into the same problem the democrats did leading up to the 2024 election, but they have it for the 2026 election.
The general perception of the economy is that it is in bad shape and heading in the wrong direction. That is not completely agreed by the data.
I think it was @jolly who said that is was the perception that mattered, and he was referring to the status before the 2024 election. Wonder if he still thinks that?
