Yeah as much as I enjoy being lied to incoherently by thievish martyrs, I've got to coach my son's little league game and then pour motor oil in my eye.
Yes, mostly whining, but I also believe he will be making some jaw-dropping threats to various people and organizations to an extent we have never seen from any president in our history. Here's hoping it will make him look like the lunatic that he has become.
Me too. It is a point of pride for me to mute the TV before t says a single word -- always. No exception for tonight! Thanks to the people who have to listen and will keep me informed!
I'll be doing that, then switching back and forth to MSNOW coverage AFTER the speech. There is no way on earth that I would subject myself to the sound of his annoying voice, not to mention the disgusting content of the speech. That is something I could not tolerate. I'm sure it is considered torture by the Geneva Convention.
That’s the way I usually look at it. But Fearless Leader is sounding (and looking) crazier by the day, and I feel I’m being irresponsible if I don’t take a sustained gander this time, to assess for myself.
I'm usually a big believer in primary sources. I don't like to criticize something I actually haven't seen myself. If I didn't trust the Bulwark to summarize this speech for me, I'd have to watch it myself. Bleaurgh. This is one of the major reasons I pay my Bulwark subscription every year without hesitation.
I feel like I’ve seen enough of this president and the rest of the politicians at the SOTU to realize this country is doomed. I’m gonna tune out for my own sanity. Maybe browse some job openings abroad.
My fondest hope is that he goes off script immediately and works himself up into such screaming incoherent lunacy that the Secret Service have to escort (read: bodily remove) him from the room. And then no one will be able to argue that he's fit for office anymore and this nightmare can begin its denouement. I want to see speaking in tongues, disturbing twitchy dancing, plagues of frogs jumping out of his mouth... the lot! Let's exorcise this mofo!
Re. your fondest hope…I share the hope that Trump’s derangement will communicate itself to his cabinet members who will have the balls to send him off to the lunatic asylum. Yeah I know that 99% of Americans find Boy JD to be an odious sycophant opportunist, but he is at least mostly sane.
To paraphrase Miracle Max, “Mostly sane I can work with.”
So, other than maybe the frog part, I guess you're saying having had to watch his standard campaign events this last time around wasn't enough for you..
I know we're joking around, but I think there was a real difference in how completely unhinged he was in response to the Supreme Court's ruling on tariffs. Yeah, it's his baby project. And yeah, he thought he had them on side. But the crazy X-girlfriend-esque rabbit-boiling escalation seemed to me to be a whole nuther level of madness. I think he's really losing it. And I'd love to see them have to forcibly remove him from the podium because he's breaking shit or throwing things or something else extreme.
I believe that he's had a stroke. He has to have something going on if he's sending dry-docked hospital ships out to Greenland with a surprised Landry caught off guard. Sundowning on untruth unsocial all night long.
He will probably talk long enough for the possibility. Lovely if it could be caught clearly on the microphone. Imagine that clip being played over and over again on every platform possible. I normally don't ever approve of shaming people for their disabilities, but in Trump's case, because of his extreme cruelty to others, he may just deserve it.
Last year after his "speech," the DirtyOldMan clasped the hand of John Roberts, looked him in the eye, and thanked him, saying "I won't forget it," referring to John's draping of donald in near complete immunity for all the crimes he has and is committing. John Roberts COULD realize that he has destabilized our democracy in service of the billionaires and white nationalists, but surely he won't. The supreme court is fully corrupted.
No, 6 of the 9 are. Thank goodness we have three who refuse to stop fighting, one of them a former Public Defender—we know about fighting against all odds for justice.
To the Bulwark crew: thank you for watching the State of the Union speech, so I don't have to. I used to watch them, but I was so angry after Bill Clinton's bloviating in 1994, I resolved to never watch again. That is a life choice I am happy to sustain.
You and me both. Whatever happened to editors that these speeches can't be boiled down to 15 minutes, tops? Politicians are so hungry for applause, and Trump is hungriest.
I watched a lot of Trump’s first “State of the Union” in 2017 (technically not a state of the union but the joint address to Congress since it was his first year) and it was awful. It was tame compared to every other later address/SOTU but that was the time when most Democrats were trying to wish cast him as normal.
Now it’s no different than his campaign rallies. I try to always follow what’s going on but tonight might be a hard pass. Seeing Trump lie over and over again is like seeing a monkey fling their feces … it’s what they do. But seeing the pathetic Republicans fawn over him like 12 year old Taylor Swift fans at a concert is really what is too hard to watch.
The one notable thing about tonight's SOTU is that I think it's DJT's last one. Honestly...I don't see how on God's green earth that he makes it to another one. Something's going to give...it has to...this is unsustainable as a country.
So many “coulds” in Bill’s commentary. But we know Donny Double Chin is incapable of any action which would lead him to admit fault. No tonight, I’m hoping he rips into the Court as many of the Justices sit there in the front row. I’m hoping he gets angry because there are Epstein victims in the crowd. And I’m setting the over/under on length at 107.5 minutes.
There is an occasional photo of him with his chin thrust upward - maybe he's trying to dispel the double chin look. All it does is make him look like Toad, of Toad Hall.
RE: "Trump could speak directly to the Epstein survivors who will be in the House gallery. But surely he won’t."
So they should speak to him, standing up silently as one up in the center balcony where, try as he might, he could not avoid seeing them from the very beginning of his performance to his very last word, they themselves never uttering so much as a single word but simply standing with calm, collected dignity, all dressed in matching shirts clearly printed with these seven words for him and all to see:
WE'RE STILL HERE...
STILL WAITING FOR JUSTICE
That would surely say more than anyone or anything else could.
What do you mean his poll numbers are at 40%? DJT has already noted those are fakes, and a ‘silent majority’ supports the wonderful things and trajectory he has set this country on. How could the greatest president on earth be down in the polls; that is simply impossible. The people love him!
Like one of my Senators and my Representative (who gave her guest ticket to a survivor of Epstein’s abuse)I refuse to give the tantruming orange toddler any attention by watching. They will give their own messages to their constituents instead while he blathers on. My other Senator and our Washington Secretary of State will be there to highlight the disgusting disenfranchisement of voters in the SAVE America Act. Nice triple teaming on their part.
I wish I could say the same about my delegation, but Montana's MAGA delegation is trumpeting how our high schools will now have TPUSA clubs. In better news, the State GOP congressional delegation had a mini revolt and nine of them joined the Dems to keep the Medicaid expansion program. Plus there will be referendum to ban Montana corporations from donating for any Montana office. I'm sure that's why the next generation of Montana voters are getting their TPUSA indoctrination opportunity.
I hope John Tester “puts some flies on the water” to remind Montanans what real Senators do for their regular constituents. In my rural area of Washington the enthusiasm for Trump has largely disappeared (the Trump signs have mostly disappeared) and even those who still support him are questioning his arming of ICE and suggesting, because of Pretti, that carrying a firearm justifies government interference, not to mention the cost of living because of tariffs.
Last time I saw Trump paraphernalia was at June's No Kings rally. It was a flag on one truck driving around the Capital. Montana is libertarian first, so Trump's comments on armed protesters went down poorly, and ICE's concentrating on small Canadian border communities has not received any kudos. Ranchers are fit to be tied for any number of reasons starting with Trump's tariff free massive Argentinian beef imports. Most MAGAs around here are very quiet.
I couldn't take Biden's full SOTU speech so the odds I will watch Trump tonight are pretty close to zero. Besides, I could write the damn thing myself since I have heard his main talking points over and over again. If Stephen Miller's tirade on Jake Tapper's show are any indication of what he put in Trump's speech, it will not include any reversals of policy. When Tapper rolls his eyes and just gives up, you know tonight will be bad. Once Trump goes off the prompter it will only get worser and worser, the worsest.
I'd check Kalshi and a couple of other places to see what the prediction market's saying about the odds that I'll watch Trump's STOU tonight, but I don't think they post numbers <0%.
“They have the acquiescence of many elites outside of government. They will not go gently into their well-deserved night.”
Agreed Bill, they will not go gently or at all! What are democrats doing to protect the vote? This is our last shot, and we have little room to maneuver!
Bottom line: they will cheat, and they may want to get caught to deflect and project, so Trump can declare the election invalid and invoke emergency powers!
We should be planning for a GENERAL STRIKE. I’ve been following Galloway’s advice and ridding myself of Amazon and other corporations that have bent a knee, but it will take a miracle to tame this beast! Let’s hope miracles exist!…:)
I am sure they will cheat, but it’s a huge country with locally run elections which means it is hard to cheat broadly and across the board. But there are places they can and want to cheat to change, maybe not all the outcomes but enough. Georgia and North Carolina would be particular concerns. Are Democrats and the DNC prioritizing their resources where the risk seems most obvious?
True, and I’m not sure what th democrats are doing because they’re aren’t vocal; let’s hope that’s their excuse, they’re playing it close to the vest.
That said, they don’t need the whole country to steal or rig the election. Most counties are either blue or red. It’s the purple states and counties, and that narrows the playing field down significantly.
Additionally, they’ve broken into several county voting machines; ask yourself why? Our machines are not completely air-gapped, and they are vulnerable. We need to stay vigilant because these guys play for keeps.
And since they’ve committed every crime known to man, losing is not an option. We’ve entered Game of Thrones territory: You win or you die!….:)
Exactly, and I would like to see more conversations about the locations at risk and what Democrats are doing to defend those voters. Democrats have not come out strongly enough in defending voters role in elections and the right of everyone to cast a ballot for the candidate they want. Once again they have let Republicans determine the terrain by allowing them to rail about mon-existent voter fraud rather than defending the voters and the right to vote.
The swing states are exceptionally vulnerable. I'm not sure I believe their unanimous outcome from the last election. There were many abnormalities and I wouldn't put it past Musk and his Doge boys to have had something to do with it. They have the technological smarts.
I am going to skip the airing of the grievances tonight. I would prefer to light my hair on fire and put it out with a baseball bat.
I think I’ll shave my head with a cheese grater while chewing on aluminum foil . . .
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 😃
It would definitely be less painful! 😆
Cuts down on the screaming! 😱
Given how often Trump airs grievances, one would think that every day is Festivus.
Someone made a bingo card with all of his favorite grievances.
Don't have enough room, Jeri.
One bingo card couldn’t possibly hold them all.
But not for the rest of us.
Good choice! This will be so painful, anyone watching would probably need an accelerant for that fire; hoping to get it over with quickly!….:)
We are talking Trump here. Quick is out.
Thanks for my AM LOL.
I plan to go to bed at 9p so I won't hear the pinging of texts reacting to the rage bait.
I'm with you. Let's just skip to the feats of strength.
I hoping his speech gets a zero Neilson rating, so I will listen to the lowlights tomorrow.
Yep. I'll pick up the high(?)lights and commentary here tomorrow. Sleep is better without nightmares.
Out of the park home run on a 3 and 2 count, this!
I see what you did there!
Yeah as much as I enjoy being lied to incoherently by thievish martyrs, I've got to coach my son's little league game and then pour motor oil in my eye.
😂😂😂😂
Same. I cannot do that to myself; it’s too painful. I will read about it tomorrow.
Festivus for the rest of us, lol!
Actually, I'm right there with you Donna. he's not going to say anything of worth. It'll be a whine-fest.
,
Yes, mostly whining, but I also believe he will be making some jaw-dropping threats to various people and organizations to an extent we have never seen from any president in our history. Here's hoping it will make him look like the lunatic that he has become.
Me too. It is a point of pride for me to mute the TV before t says a single word -- always. No exception for tonight! Thanks to the people who have to listen and will keep me informed!
I read this to a friend, and could hardly get through it without snorting with laughter.
I totally agree. What a great suggestion! And maybe incorporate a cheese grater....
I'm not sure I have enough Scotch in the liquor cabinet to get me through the speech. Besides, just the sound of his voice makes me retch.
It's a tough job. Someone has got to do it. Tim is the man for it!
I hope Tim has mental health counseling in his medical ins package from the Bulwark.....
Tim will be alright. But he sure was depressed after DJT was elected!
ME TOO!
He will be alright because there will probably be so much garbage to highlight and make fun of.
I'll be doing that, then switching back and forth to MSNOW coverage AFTER the speech. There is no way on earth that I would subject myself to the sound of his annoying voice, not to mention the disgusting content of the speech. That is something I could not tolerate. I'm sure it is considered torture by the Geneva Convention.
I won't be watching. Being lied to for two hours is not how I choose to spend an evening. Plus, if viewership is low it will drive trump crazy!
I feel like the best thing I can do for everyone is not give Trump increased ratings.
That’s the way I usually look at it. But Fearless Leader is sounding (and looking) crazier by the day, and I feel I’m being irresponsible if I don’t take a sustained gander this time, to assess for myself.
I'm usually a big believer in primary sources. I don't like to criticize something I actually haven't seen myself. If I didn't trust the Bulwark to summarize this speech for me, I'd have to watch it myself. Bleaurgh. This is one of the major reasons I pay my Bulwark subscription every year without hesitation.
I feel like I’ve seen enough of this president and the rest of the politicians at the SOTU to realize this country is doomed. I’m gonna tune out for my own sanity. Maybe browse some job openings abroad.
We have all lived thru this for ten years. I plan to listen to what Colbert and Kimmel say afterwards though.
Oh yes, most definitely. Also, I hope Seth does the fake press questions.
and numerous other trusted observers.
I understand.
I also understand the drive to see the Mad King and how far the madness is reaching into his soul. It's good to have visual ID on the problem.
That's courageous of you. I salute your bravery and your dedication!
Same. I can only listen to the orange thing drone on for 10 seconds before I lose my tolerance for it.
My fondest hope is that he goes off script immediately and works himself up into such screaming incoherent lunacy that the Secret Service have to escort (read: bodily remove) him from the room. And then no one will be able to argue that he's fit for office anymore and this nightmare can begin its denouement. I want to see speaking in tongues, disturbing twitchy dancing, plagues of frogs jumping out of his mouth... the lot! Let's exorcise this mofo!
OOOH that is the only possibility that would warrant my watching. Imagine a Linda Blair head turn. Break out the incense and holy water!
Right?!
Twitchy dancing is his regular style. Maybe shaking some Castaneda and more hand movements.
Re. your fondest hope…I share the hope that Trump’s derangement will communicate itself to his cabinet members who will have the balls to send him off to the lunatic asylum. Yeah I know that 99% of Americans find Boy JD to be an odious sycophant opportunist, but he is at least mostly sane.

And I'd love to see them have to forcibly remove him from the podium because he's breaking shit or throwing things or something else extreme.
Agree his public displays of ill temperament and declining abilities overall are getting worse.
And as you said below, Ya gotta have a dream.
That would be awesome.
We have similar imaginations and delusional fantasies...
Ya gotta have a dream.
Especially during this waking nightmare...
If that’s what it takes! I’d settle for foaming at the mouth, going full Howard Beal, and running down to punch out Amy Coney Barrett.
She would probably kick his fat ass halfway to mar a pedo leggo .
One thing we know for sure; Trump will be heavily medicated for the speech. I suspect he is on a roller coaster of uppers and tranquilizers.
I want to let his carers know that if they get his meds mixed up so that he loses his shit on live TV, they will be American heroes. DO IT, GUYS!
The address before Xmas was riveting. I thought he was winding up to a stroke.
I believe that he's had a stroke. He has to have something going on if he's sending dry-docked hospital ships out to Greenland with a surprised Landry caught off guard. Sundowning on untruth unsocial all night long.
what's the over-under on Trump pooping himself in public again and Vance and Johnson need to pinch their nose?
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/no-credible-evidence-trump-pooped-002800721.html
Great, Kotzsu. Now I'm dead of laughter. 🤪
He will probably talk long enough for the possibility. Lovely if it could be caught clearly on the microphone. Imagine that clip being played over and over again on every platform possible. I normally don't ever approve of shaming people for their disabilities, but in Trump's case, because of his extreme cruelty to others, he may just deserve it.

No, 6 of the 9 are. Thank goodness we have three who refuse to stop fighting, one of them a former Public Defender—we know about fighting against all odds for justice.
But did John Roberts comment afterwards, as others have, on how warm and soft Trump’s hand was?
“That Chief Justice, what a grip. Like a vise! My hand’s still bruised a year later… shook my hand so hard my left hand bruised too!”
Amazing! We finally have a logical explanation for Loose Cannon's bruised hands.
No...but the way Amy Coney Barrett looked away in disgust at the moment was pretty telling.
See, I don't even want to think about that. Or maybe I will .
" oh God that's not your hand " .
EEEEEEEEE ! ! ! !
Since I am pretty sure Roberts is not a stupid man, I can only conclude that he has been fully on board with this fascist project from the get go.
I love watching Tim and Sam, but I'll probably pass on tonight, boys. My sock drawer is looking very disorganized.
Also, there's a typo about 4 paragraphs down: "37 percent approval, 59 percent approval."
800% increase!
Bigly !
State of the Union:
We’re F$cked
To the Bulwark crew: thank you for watching the State of the Union speech, so I don't have to. I used to watch them, but I was so angry after Bill Clinton's bloviating in 1994, I resolved to never watch again. That is a life choice I am happy to sustain.
You and me both. Whatever happened to editors that these speeches can't be boiled down to 15 minutes, tops? Politicians are so hungry for applause, and Trump is hungriest.
Demagogues and dictators love public speaking. Castro and Hitler could go on for hours (Castro did one that was 7 1/2 hours, Hitler’s were 2-21/2.).
James - hey, there’s been some recent news about Bloviation Inflation!
I watched a lot of Trump’s first “State of the Union” in 2017 (technically not a state of the union but the joint address to Congress since it was his first year) and it was awful. It was tame compared to every other later address/SOTU but that was the time when most Democrats were trying to wish cast him as normal.

But seeing the pathetic Republicans fawn over him like 12 year old Taylor Swift fans at a concert is really what is too hard to watch.
Drinking game - Jell-O shots at every mention of 2020 election being stolen. No one’s going home sober
The lightest of light beers. You'll kill people otherwise.
Raw milk, then?
RFKjr yes. You and I, no.
Bacardi 151 ought to do the trick !
No one’s going home period they’ll be unable to move after that much alcohol poisoning.
Great analogy!
Trumps SoTU address will be an insult to Monkeys who throw their feces..
The one notable thing about tonight's SOTU is that I think it's DJT's last one. Honestly...I don't see how on God's green earth that he makes it to another one. Something's going to give...it has to...this is unsustainable as a country.
wouldn't that be nice
Always the optimist!
So many “coulds” in Bill’s commentary. But we know Donny Double Chin is incapable of any action which would lead him to admit fault. No tonight, I’m hoping he rips into the Court as many of the Justices sit there in the front row. I’m hoping he gets angry because there are Epstein victims in the crowd. And I’m setting the over/under on length at 107.5 minutes.
But will justice Alito shake his head and mouth ‘not true’ when Trump rips into them and lies, or will he merely nod along in agreement.
It would be worth having a camera trained solely on Alito.
he wimped out last time, and may again tonight
Double chin ? I thought that he was storing big Macs there for the lean times ahead .
There is an occasional photo of him with his chin thrust upward - maybe he's trying to dispel the double chin look. All it does is make him look like Toad, of Toad Hall.
RE: "Trump could speak directly to the Epstein survivors who will be in the House gallery. But surely he won’t."
So they should speak to him, standing up silently as one up in the center balcony where, try as he might, he could not avoid seeing them from the very beginning of his performance to his very last word, they themselves never uttering so much as a single word but simply standing with calm, collected dignity, all dressed in matching shirts clearly printed with these seven words for him and all to see:
WE'RE STILL HERE...
STILL WAITING FOR JUSTICE
That would surely say more than anyone or anything else could.
What do you mean his poll numbers are at 40%? DJT has already noted those are fakes, and a ‘silent majority’ supports the wonderful things and trajectory he has set this country on. How could the greatest president on earth be down in the polls; that is simply impossible. The people love him!
Maybe the silent majority will stay silent, at home, on election day.....
Trump may yet learn that ‘silence is golden’! Not the worst outcome.
My fingers nearly slipped off the keyboard as the sarcasm drips from my computer monitor...
Like one of my Senators and my Representative (who gave her guest ticket to a survivor of Epstein’s abuse)I refuse to give the tantruming orange toddler any attention by watching. They will give their own messages to their constituents instead while he blathers on.

Plus there will be referendum to ban Montana corporations from donating for any Montana office. I'm sure that's why the next generation of Montana voters are getting their TPUSA indoctrination opportunity.
I think it’s pretty awesome that both Jon Tester and Steve Bullock are taking part in Defiance.org’s alt SOTU event tonight: https://www.defiance.org/sotu 🐸
I hope John Tester “puts some flies on the water” to remind Montanans what real Senators do for their regular constituents. In my rural area of Washington the enthusiasm for Trump has largely disappeared (the Trump signs have mostly disappeared) and even those who still support him are questioning his arming of ICE and suggesting, because of Pretti, that carrying a firearm justifies government interference, not to mention the cost of living because of tariffs.
Last time I saw Trump paraphernalia was at June's No Kings rally. It was a flag on one truck driving around the Capital. Montana is libertarian first, so Trump's comments on armed protesters went down poorly, and ICE's concentrating on small Canadian border communities has not received any kudos. Ranchers are fit to be tied for any number of reasons starting with Trump's tariff free massive Argentinian beef imports. Most MAGAs around here are very quiet.
Wow, that sounds like the young Nazis during hitler's regime.
wait I thought Montana had 2 senators and one rep- so how did 9 join the dems ?
That was state level. We actually have 2 reps on the National level and all four are MAGAtards. We might see some change in that after 2026.
I honestly cannot think of a worse use of my time and attention than by watching him spew tonight.
Tender, soft citizens, so palsied by power,
Can we rally and march through Liberty's dark hour?
Freedom ain't free,
She takes work to be:
By shared sweat alone shall our Republic yet flower.
For the love of the Creator, at least make it scan properly!

The swing states run by Republicans that really worry me.
Blue states should all be passing legislation right now outlawing the gathering of ICE officials within 1,000 feet of any polling place, as a start.
Agreed!…:)
