Pass. Not giving it any ratings and I will wait for the coherent summary without the faff. Besides, no matter what the jackass does, there's nothing I can immediately do in reaction to it.

Hardly anything he says is credible anyways. Only look at what he does
Seriously?
One one democrat (Al Green) stood up for truth tonight?
The rest of them sat like sacks of shit holding paddles, lol.
Fucking weak leadership who cares more about the decorum than the fight.
Well, from what little I've seen so far and my understanding, Hakeem Jeffries seems to be taking the "cower in the corner and take it like a little bitch" approach to government.
Cowards like the rest of America
I am furious with them for their lack of leadership and self awareness. The incompetence is shocking.
"the days of unelected bureaucrats is over..."
Oh, like Musk?
oh man. I am not looking forward to this but feel I have an obligation to watch. Appreciate you getting the thread going though.
I'll pass on listening to the Cheeto Musolini speech. I'd rather preserve my sanity/time by reading the news afterwards instead of listening to him ramble.
im prepping with vodka and I rarely drink.
I'm tempted to just wait on the transcript, but so many of Trump's transcripts are whitewashed to make him seem more rational than he is.
Looking forward to the stock market dropping like sack of shit tomorrow morning. You know it's gonna.
Jesus Christ. They are using his fucking mug shot for the thumbnail on ABC. Lmao.
sorry I monopolized this thread but hey man sorta eff you guys for being so silent. live with my drunken summaries.
I'm tempted to watch but it'll probably be 90 minutes of him rambling.
More than 120! I couldn't make it through 5. No idea how people can listen to him talk.
So Al Green got booted from the room. Interesting.
thanks for getting me the name.
Nope. Not watching. I'd rather drag razor blades between my toes. Rub sandpaper on my tongue. Give myself paper cuts on my eyelids. Watch videos consisting entirely of nails on chalkboards.
Anyone got bingo cards? I'm putting a Putin to visit White House on mine along with Andrew Tate gets a government position - maybe alongside Elona. There's also the McDonald's Hamderber becoming the National Food
Anyone got any others to fill out my card?
Outside of that, I got my bullshit meter ready. Trying to prep for the Thirty Days of the Best Achievements the world has ever seen and how he alone saved countries at war. Then Elona will talk about the billions of dollars saved while his kid wipes buggers on Trump's face.
Maybe if I address a joint during the joint address it will make things tolerable
And here we go with the royal decrees.
No substance to Trump's speech was just hating on Trans people and bragging about cutting government programs. If that speech didn't show you how unfit he is, I don't know what will at this point.
He shouldn't have been able to run for President again. MAGA is literally getting cucked this whole run for this admin and they can't bring themselves to admit it.
this is going to be a great factcheck session.
Fact checkers are getting fucking carpal tunnel.
now hes talking about the markets being up and they got guff from the audience (congress) fro his obvious bullshit and they are kicking a guy out.
oh now trump cries how if he ever did anything of value, which he has not, he would not get accolades from the democrats. mmm. maybe you should do something worthwhile first.
Im really torn on whose face annoys me more. vance or trump. man trump looks increasingly like a caricature of himself.
boasting about gulf of america and renaming denali. I may not be able to take this.
omg the republicans are chanting trump.
omg the usa shouting and his opening bs like he had just not betrayed everything the us has stood for since ww2.
omg he is talking his fucking election results.
omg he is using the numbers shown to be false on what doge has saved.
now saying he will make america affordable again oh and . and. now says how biden got the price of eggs out of control but they are going to get it back down. wow.
ugh. the democratic response is soooo weak. still at least she did say reagan rolling in his grave and said she does not want russian or chinas leadership. actually its getting better as I type this.
wants interest on car loans to be tax deductible so yeah make debt more enticing to the american people.
omg they are talking about how the first dem was resistant to being removed and truly his was not and they said two more were removed and that was not shown. serously folks this is masturbating over a bag of cashews.
Anyone watch Sanders' response?
Gotdamn I love Bernie. You can see he really, like actually cares.
if tariffs are about manufacturing then why the fuck are we still doing them for raw materials!!! like I dunno. canadian heavy crude that the Midwest refineries need!!!
boasting on politically defining gender.
oh now he is saying they have reduced debt with the money. news to me.
democrats were smart brining those placards.
ok now he is saying beurocrats will be removed from office even though. you know. they don't hold elective office. they work jobs.
omg the things he is boasting about! stopping the green new deal, leave the paris accord, dismantling the government. ugh.
i have been saying this but he is crowing about how the military has had its best recruiting month in years. go look at the youtube military channel recruitment channels. scary as fuck.
Conscription is in Project 2025.
Yall should have read the thing before the election.
oh fun. now he is lauding doge and musk is actually wearing a suit.
