This is more boring than a Jerry Lewis Marathon and almost as maudlin.

Is that really Mike Johnson or did they replace him with a Mike Johnson bobble head?

Thank God my hearing aid batteries went dead.

Suicide lines must be ringing off the hook.

If I had a dollar for every lie even I could balance the budget.

Ok, back to something exciting like watching grass grow.

Nah, I’m kicking some ass in Rise of the Kings on my iPad.

There’s some droning in the background.

Cool. I did a few poker breaks.


And :) one post on a Euro forum of course.

I didn’t watch it, and have no desire to watch it. I can pretty much sum it up in just a couple of words: lies and self-aggrandizement.

My plan is to see as little of the Felon as I can over the next few years.

A masterful speech that climbed the soaring heights of bullshit. 1:40 long. Longest speech to both houses evah! Even eclipsed the loquacious Slick Willy.

Never have so many words been spoken to say so little (that was true) to so many. But he said them so well.

Elissa Slotkin spent 10 minutes and said more true and realistic things than he did

One thing I did enjoy:
As Trump was leaving and shaking hands, Handy Oakley (Lauren Boebert) darted in and out of the line, all the way from the front of the chamber to the back door, to flash that slinky red dress and touch Trump or shake his hand.

Trump ran a master class in painting a beautiful presidency that basically doesn’t exist. All politicians do that to some degree. But most of them at least attempt to keep one foot on the floor of reality

One thing of significance is the amount of time he took to rattle off a long list of nonsensical lies about the advanced ages of "millions" of Social Security recipients--a day after Musk opined on Rogan that Social Security is a giant Ponzi scheme.

Make no mistake, the disinformation will be coming hot and fast, just as it did about all the election "fraud" in 2020. They're setting the stage for "privatizing" Social Security, or gutting it, or somesuch.

I almost hope they do. They will die on that hill.

Thanks for the laughs. Without humor, what would we do?

This is more boring than a Jerry Lewis Marathon and almost as maudlin.

I told my wife that I would have to be straitjacketed to a chair to be forced to watch that evil clown spew his lies and venom. No thanks.

I would think so.

BUT, you have to consider that power will be so consolidated on the right that, as Trump said, his followers will never need to vote again.

Your optimism better the cautious kind.
