Are you watching the State of the Union tonight?

just look on the internet tomorrow and they'll show you clips of the parts to be mad at

I would only watch this if I thought there was a chance that I could be part of the shared cathartic experience of watching him stroke out and die on live television, but I'm realistic about the slim chances of my outliving him.

no, fuck this. I'm done

i’m listening to al green

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lol

Noice!

I'm mostly tuned out these days, but that long walk up the aisle felt like the last "God, how did this ever happen?" moment of Part One.

Enter the First Lady, with the mien and bearing of Mary, Queen of Scots escorted to her doom.

This thread is the “I don’t own a TV” of threads right now.

I don't own a TV.

i'm remembering that no one benefits more from the time-honored "tell stories of american heroes and call them out on the crowd for a standing ovation" technique than terrible fucking presidents. over and over, the entire room stands up and gives a standing ovation. to the casual viewer trump appears to be killing it and even winning the democrats over.

Which PED baseball player did Clinton put in the box one year? I don't remember that.

Reagan started the tradition iirc

I'm covering this shit so y'all don't have to watch it.

oh man the smirk of this guy talking about the economy doing well.

They have a page listing all the luxury-box guests:

Clinton had Sammy Sosa there in 1999!

nothing like that exquisite moment when all the republicans and half of the democrats (including pelosi) give a standing ovation to the importance of standing for the national anthem

American grits!

Makes me think of the recording-studio scene in Boogie Nights: "Pillars, frameworks? Now you're talkin' over my head."

murmur in the crowd during the section on "chain migration" - couldn't make out exactly what was said

TV in general has somewhat varied fare, not the same ape flinging shit outta the cage.

i watched natural born killers instead but when i left the house for work afterwards i could hear the president's voice coming from behind the curtains of the neighbor's house, saying his catchphrase to enthusiastic applause. dark

The bald dude who introduced him when he walked in — that was his longtime security goon right?

That's future United States of Trump National Security Minister Goon to you, son.

I watched a lo res YouTube of the pilot episode of Moonlighting

I was watching episodes from the 'who shot JR' season of Dallas.
