I think this screw up is probably a good indication of how FUBAR'd this speech is going to be.Looking forward to tomorrow’s State of the Uniom. pic.twitter.com/xdBUU3Pvo5— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) January 29, 2018
Also how FUBAR'd the actual state of union is regardless of how Trump might describe it tonight.
Like I said before, I'm not watching.
However I also knew that whatever I posted in this slot would invariably receive tons of comments about the speech, so why not leave a space for those very comments?
To start you of here are a couple of things to watch for.
The audience will be filled with both Dreamers and representatives of the #MeToo movement.
Melania Trump is expected to end her self imposed exile after the Stormy Daniels story broke, and make an appearance at the speech as well. (Maybe she can get a seat in the #MeToo section.
Those who do watch the actual televised speech will also have the opportunity to enjoy an advertisement calling for Trump's impeachment paid for by billionaire Tom Steyer. So that will be nice.
I will update this post as information about the speech becomes available.
P.S. And on a serious note, whatever you do, do NOT play a drinking game which has you take a shot every time Trump tells a lie, or you are certain to die from alcohol poison.
Update: Apparently Melania got her own ride to the SOTU:
In a break with longstanding tradition, Melania Trump opted to ride with the guests she invited to share her first lady's box during President Donald Trump's State of the Union address.
The motorcade ride, from the White House south lawn to the Capitol building, is just a handful of minutes, but for a first couple who has not been publicly seen together since New Year's Eve, the separate cars were another in a string of isolated movements from a very independent first lady.
Somehow Daniels (Well we have to assume it's Daniels.) was pressured into stating that she did NOT have an affair with Trump, even after passing a lie detector test saying she did for interview in In Touch magazine, but clearly Melania ain't buying it.Haven't yet confirmed where this latest statement (obtained by Buzzfeed) came from. But notice the signature on this statement is quite different from the one sent in her name by Michael Cohen earlier this month. pic.twitter.com/EgOIjbSG3E— Jeremy Diamond (@JDiamond1) January 30, 2018
Update 2:
Wait, nobody called him a liar? This would be the perfect time to call him a liar.Hissing and some boos in the chamber as the president says “chain migration” allows people to bring in a “nearly unlimited” number of extended family— Kasie Hunt (@kasie) January 31, 2018
His proposal would limit family-sponsored migration to spouses and minor children
Update 3: I feel their pain.
Update 4: And the hits just keep on coming.Here's the generals reacting to increasing our nuclear arsenal 😐 #SOTU pic.twitter.com/l6Ujnk3JIg— Dan Milano (@DanMilanoHere) January 31, 2018
More nuclear weapons, more prisons, more racism. Lucky us."So today, I am keeping another promise. I just signed an order directing Secretary Mattis to reexamine our military detention policy and to keep open the detention facilities in Guantanamo Bay." #SOTU: https://t.co/Njo52YOlc2— The White House (@WhiteHouse) January 31, 2018
