Cant' Wait For State Of The Union Address That I Cannot Watch. It Will Be Horrible.

[TheMastersNemesis]

I don't want to be throwing up all over the place. And I don't want my blood pressure to go through the roof. The SOTU is going to be the most horrible thing. I want to preserve my TV set and keep myself from screaming and pounding on walls. Plus watching the GOP Congressional members acting snarky and nasty would make it even worse.

Would be helpful to go to the most remote part of Patagonia and chill out with no electronics anywhere. Every day is an insult to the senses and sanity.

1. How many democratic folks are going to stand up and scream LIAR! at Twitler?

[Kentonio]

4. Usually I hate that kind of thing, but..

It would be fascinating to see if it made him totally lose his shit.

[Yavin4]

8. Democrats best strategy at the SOTU would be...

just let Trump talk. And then when it comes time for their rebuttal, just say: "Really? We know that we can do better than this."

[kysrsoze]

10. They should stand with their backs turned

[workinclasszero]

16. Excellent idea!

[skylucy]

2. I haven't decided whether I should just not watch or if I should watch and scream obscenities

at the television. You're right, though, sometimes it is better to not watch in real time and then let Rachel or Joy tell us about the shit show later. Of course, if Trump reads the teleprompter (and only reads a few of the words wrong) some of the MSM will declare him competent.

3. The bar for a successful 45 speech is so low all he has to do is read a few simple

sentences off of the teleprompter to get media accolades about how Presidential he is. If the speech is simple enough and short enough he can pull it off.

5. I don't get that channel. NT

[louis-t]

6. That's ok, we'll get the lowlights in small portions.

A lot easier to stomach that way.

[Motley13]

7. I will watch as long as I can stomach it

some points will be, Biggest win in history
crooked Hillary
no collusion
look at my crowd
I've passed more shit than any president
got rid of ACA
United Nations countries must pay their dues


a zillion more, pls add to list

[superpatriotman]

9. It practically writes itself

[nolabear]

11. Oh I can't wait. It's going to be a litmus test for the Dems.

We know he's full of shit and is going to spew it by the bucketsful, and we know what the Grand Old Pillagers are going to stand and clap as though they believe every word.

And if a SINGLE Democrat follows suit their time will be up. And the move to wear black by the women Democrats is a clear slap in the face to him and yet if anyone doesn't it's a refusal to support the victims of those who have resigned.

This thing is a great opportunity to say "NO!" in more ways than one.

12. I'm just gonna watch Colbert afterward

And mute the sound any time there's a clip of the Orange Turd.

[gratuitous]

13. I will now enter the transcendental state and read the future

Donald J. Trump, 45th President of these here United States and America, will be announced to indifferent applause. He will spend about 20 minutes coming down the aisle, jerking people's arms out of their sockets in an attempt to replicate the "handshake" he's seen humans execute upon greeting one another. He will hand copies of his prepared remarks to the Speaker of the House and the Vice President (who will take it as gingerly as if they'd just been handed a dead fish), take his spot at the podium, and smile broadly as if it were the most thunderous ovation in the history of the world (which he will, in fact, tweet later).

He will then slog his way through his prepared remarks, with all the dogged determination of a machine gunner on a ridge, single-handedly holding off the advancing enemy army. Trump will painfully pick the words off one by one, the tone clearly indicating that he'd much rather be in bed with his true love, a couple of Big Macs. At the end of an interminable 40 minutes, give or take, he will stumble over saying "God bless America," wave a pudgy hand, give a half-assed thumbs up, then vacate the podium. The surviving news anchors, who haven't shot themselves in the head or jammed ice picks in their ears, will gush all over themselves at how presidential Trump was, and didn't he make just a fine speech, and aren't we all just lucky to live in such a wonderful country.

The next day, there will be write-ups in all the major newspapers with reporters expressing their awe at Trump's ability to stand behind a podium for 40 solid minutes (give or take). Then Bret Stephens will write a column scolding the hoi polloi that they were all so stupid to think that Trump would fall over in a gibbering, mouth-foaming, seizure.

14. He'll sniff throughout it

Damn coke !

[beachbum bob]

15. I hope every democratic congress person refuses to stand and applaude and all wear black

[HAB911]

17. I won't watch but will record

in case something good happens that the news reports later

I'm with you, don't want to get my blood pressure up
