SOTU 2026

[StrangePackage]

Any bets on length of a speech that Trump has said will be long? His average SOTU has been around 80 minutes (his longest to date was a hair under 100 minutes).

I'm taking the over.

I just wish the SOTU was STFU.

 

[superrific]

I've long found them unwatchable in general because of all the stupid applause. Just let the pres make the damn speech, geez.

One hour 17 minutes

“… Every member of this House represents more than 750,000 people. They’re disenfranchised if you’re not sitting in your seat to fulfill the role and responsibility of Congress.…”

It is televised on every major network. How am I disenfranchised if my Rep skips it?

My general inclination is to suggest that politicians forego that kind of empty posturing but they’re politicians, it’s what they do. I would rather they skip it than yell stupid shit from the gallery.

Give me an f'ing break. Not attending a speech is not disenfranchising. Disenfranchising is denying a new member their seat for 7 weeks; disenfranchising is calling a recess to avoid votes. Talk about gaslighting! Holy crap!

I am torn whether Dems should be a no show for the shit show.

On the one hand a no show would be a principled protest about what this corrupt imbecile has wrought upon our country
On the other hand a no show would make for bad optics and distract the media and the country from focusing upon how Trump's address signals our march to autocracy

 

[CarolinaFever]

Dems should show up with signs about Trump and boo him like people do the heels at wrestling shows.

I wouldn't watch this clusterfuck for all the tea in China.

Or avoiding doing town halls which is direct interaction with their constituents.

Lol. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

I am already mad at myself because I will watch

Me...I'm either watching or recording all the late night shows. ABC, CBS, NBC are all live tonight. And, I think Rachel also has a special.
UPDATE... I read the 2 - 3 hour projected time. Recording for sure.

The Hornets play in Chicago at 8. Coby White is expected to play his first game in a Hornets uniform tonight. It’s also the first game with Bridges and Diabate back after the suspensions. Sorry Trump, I’m busy and won’t be able to watch your flurry of self-congratulatory lies tonight. I’ll catch the highlights on SNL this weekend.

 

[finesse]

I almost never watch television. This is certainly not worth making an exception. I'll read and listen to music like I usually do and post on here as my mind wanders.

This attempt to demonstrate the 79 year old President's stamina and acuity to the world certainly won't backfire.
