I watched it and forced my one kid that was home to watch it. I feel like people should watch these sorts of things. Kids even more so because they can learn about the federal government and also the politics behind it.

Stuck with it for an hour or so, then couldn't take...

- the endless parade of American heroes he was introducing
- the same ol', same ol' from Trump
- the incompetent Dems franticly looking for some way to counter and failing every time

Whoa, did I just write (above) that people should watch it?!? Having second thoughts on that sage advice... Well, when my kid goes to her 8th grade History class tomorrow, maybe she will be the only student who can explain why the VP sits behind the POTUS, next to the Speaker. Small victories.

It's got to be tough to carry the shi+posting load tonight all by yourself without movielover, oski003 and BarelySane88.

It's quite relaxing, actually. The Dems are doing all the heavy lifting; I'm just posting it.


Speaking of Oregon, is she your rep?

Thank you for clarifying that joke from The Daily Show. I guess your side needs that kind of thing.

what do you have against American heros?

and to dajo:
considering the daily show mixes satire and factual news, clarification was necessary so your fellow blue hairs didn't take this and run with it as fact. the women are being schedule to go to the White House at a later date.

i just realized The Daily Show = TDS, very fitting

I did not watch and couldn't get off the channel fast enough when I did turn the tv on and it defaulted to his speech. No regrets.

American heroes are to be revered and their accolades are so well deserved. It is the person that cynically used them as shiny props and has made both public and private statements disrespecting heroes that I take issue with.

Ro Khanna brought a sex trafficker as a guest to the Sate of the Union to show everyone he's against sex trafficking. She recruited over 20 underage girls for Epstein.

So far, it seems there is no collective response to the SOTU, no spin, or narrative coming from the Democratic Party.

Just silence.

a favorite scene in Animal House <mumble> years ago, ymmv..
Quote:
Bluto: Hey! What's all this laying around sh*t?
Stork: What the hell are we supposed to do, ya moron?
D-Day: [to Bluto] War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: [to Boon] Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough...
[thinks hard of something to say]
Bluto: The tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go!
[Bluto runs out, alone; then returns]
Bluto: What the **** happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst. "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic... but absolutely right. We gotta take these b*stards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part!
Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.
D-Day: [stands up]
Boon: [stands up] Let's do it.
Bluto: [shouting] "Let's do it"!
[all of the Deltas stand up and run out with Bluto]

If you were beaten with an axe handle for two hours in public, what is the correct response? The ones who didn't show up got it right.

The Democrats could have responded with this:

Alex Pretti and Renee Good would be alive and thriving today if Joe Biden Kamala Harris were president.
