Who’s watching the SOTU speech tonight?

I haven’t watched one in ages.

But I’m a little tempted for the absurdity of it all. But it’s not without a little shame, like when you just can’t help but look at the mangled cars as you pass an accident scene.

I'll probably multitask it, if I remember at the moment.

[LuFins Dad]

Working late, then late dinner, and an early morning. I think I’ll forego the circle jerk on both sides.

[LuFins Dad]

But my prediction? A bunch of people will proclaim that he totally pwned the libtards, and that the Democrats refusal to applaud any of the accomplishments shows just how much they hate you and me.

Then the other people will talk about what an embarrassment he is and how he’s tearing apart the nation and the very foundations of decency, and will soon start rounding up his enemies…

[jon-nyc]

That’s a given.

Biggest surprise guest?
How many things will he announce that he can’t actually do without Congress?
Will all the justices show?
Will anyone walk out?

[xenon]

I can't stomach these any more. Use to love watching them as a kid.

[jon-nyc]

I would have lost money on this bet.

[Mik]

Nah. Had a meeting. I'll catch the highlights and lowlights later. I expect a preponderance of the latter.

Clever to ask the assembled congress people to "stand up if you believe the first duty of the US government is to protect US citizens, not illegal aliens". The Dems painted themselves in a corner with their sitting, and there they sat with the cameras on them. Held it there for a couple minutes too.

[jon-nyc]

The Massie rumor tended out not to be true. He sat with the GOP. I would have won the bet after all.

[jon-nyc]

lol

The "THIS IS HUGE" dramatic reaction in that tweet is a nice connection to your other thread about MAGA basically becoming a vat of slop and conspiracies. I know we saw the start of that back when Trump lost in 2020, but I think the MAGA movement is at an inflection point where their Dear Leader will eventually be no longer in power and there will be a void... who will make up their own reality for the sheep to follow next?

Side note - I used Kalshi to bet he would say the phrase Save Act, and he indeed said "Save America Act" which didn't count, so I lost the bet. Oh well.

Oh and lots of female democrats yelling. I'd say what happened to decorum but then that might actually get @george-k to return with a picture of Pelosi tearing up a speech.

Ok, that’s one highlight.

But I did just watch about 15 minutes of Cocaine Bear. That was enough. How they attracted such a good cast for such an awful movie is beyond me.
