SOTU 2026

The longer this goes, the worse Patel looks, imo. And I'm not just talking about the gall to take a government jet on the taxpayer dime to see this (after he criticized his FBI Director predecessor under Biden for doing far less), but he just looks pathetic in these photos - like an unwanted party-crasher, or a guy who showed up after the battle was won and joined in like he actually had something to do with it, or the weakling sidekick who is so desperate to hang with the cool kids that he demeans himself for them at every turn. Definitely beta male loser behavior.

Agree.
But actually, in this photo his weird-ass eyes look halfway normal. Perhaps he should learn to side-eye the camera when posing for photo-ops.
 
I didn't watch a minute of the SOTU. The Arizona/Baylor game was infinitely more interesting.

However.....

I think it's important to note that Trump and Kirk are the Batman and Robin of grifting.

Frank Luntz can EAD. That fat fucker has been carrying water for the GOP for decades by using his focus groups to create messaging for Republicans at least dating back to the days of Newt Gingrich in the 90s. He's hardly an impartial observer.

Frank can absolutely EAD but I don't think he's really wrong in this instance. Dems shouting at Trump during the address does nothing but turn off independent voters. Does it fire up the base? Maybe. I understand why people want to see visible signs of "resistance" but I can't think of a more pointless form of resistance than shouting at Trump during the SOU.

I don’t know what this is but I’ll bet it’s a terrible idea.

I know what it is now. I don’t understand how we can’t afford to fund social security so people can retire but we have money to throw at any child who happens to be born during Trump’s presidency and everyone else can pound sand. What is so great about this measure?
 
My wife got us tix to Keb Mo at the Carolina Theater last night so thankfully I missed the whole SOTU! “Put A Woman in Charge” brought down the house. He’s a great entertainer for sure! Sounds like Trump was doing an impression of Jon Lovitz Tommy Flanagan character!

Yes, as I gave said before, Trump has uncovered something very embarrassing about tens of millions of Americans - when someone brazenly does corruption right in front of their faces, they will assume it must not be corruption because otherwise it would be hidden.

You know, this strikes me as the poat of a guy who would/will be very silently appalled and eternally frustrated when his daughter brings a black man home for Thankgiving break.

Knowing you as well do here, I would say it probably hit pretty close to home.
 
Even as a politics junkie, I didn't watch one single solitary second of the SOTU. I had zero interest in watching a bunch of cuckolded eunuch Republicans clapping along like a bunch of slackjawed seals, and zero interest in watching Democrats do their usual lame, feckless, and impotent feigned outrage routine. It's incredibly humiliating this morning reading about how our dementia-riddled president and the opposition party apparently played a game of Political Simon Says with one another. I'm so sick of this theatrical bullshit when the cost of living is as unaffordable as it has ever been for more people than ever before, when we are on the verge of initiating yet another mindless war in the Middle East that is going to cost U.S. lives and treasure, and when we have a government full of pedophile protectors on both sides of the aisle.

If you have a daughter then a better response would have been:

SAY IT LOUD ! HE"S BLACK AND I'M PROUD !!!

When Music Makes History | Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud)

James Brown’s Say It Loud becomes an unofficial anthem of the Black Power movement.

I have a daughter in college. She's never had a serious boyfriend, that I know of.

I lean toward MLKj's views of people....content of character, not color of skin.

EDIT: I take no pride in my skin tone and don't understand why anyone would.
