You know what time it is. Easily one of the thirty-five most exciting Tuesday nights of the year.

State of the Union night - slightly delayed.

I've missed the news for a few days, so I'm not up to date on predictions, I don't even know why a bunch of folks are wearing white - about to look into that though.


I've got red tie, Trump says 'caravans' at least once, and 'drugs' less than 2.5 times.

What say you?

Live thread?

I think of the guy on Sea Lab every time I see Pence...

What the hell is Pompeo all giddy about

I can tell some people didn't train for the 5 minute clap - gotta pace yourself...two onethousands in between

Pelosi looks like she has one of those bartending mix sets in front of her (i know it's not, just let me pretend)

[oportet]

One of the angels just started to clap and caught herself...

Mike and Nancy just shared a giggle - if you're looking for positive signs

If you're a politician about to give or attend a speech like this - I wonder how many people approach you with pins and buttons and ribbons and stickers they want you to wear.

Can't say yes to everyone, you'd look ridiculous...yes to the first request and no to the rest?

[oportet]

He could just go with things that everyone can clap along to - leave out what we all know is coming.

Would definitely throw off the news shows that follow up.

[oportet]

Oh well - here we go...

CARAVANSSSSSSSSS

[oportet]

Gonna alternate icons to make this less awkward...or would that make it worse

[oportet]

Well this is touching...

[oportet]

100% chance Ted has gotten a leather jacket to go with that new look...

[oportet]

If I weren't talking to myself I'd ask if anyone was keeping a 'drugs' count...

[oportet]

Definitely at two (if not more)...time to wrap this up

My mother called me up while I was in the middle of dinner, said “are you watching this f**%# crook?”

I said “No, but you can vent to me if you want.”

She proceeded to curse for a full minute.

Catching her breath, she said, “let’s catch up later.”

“Okay. Remember to pace yourself!” I said.

I don't think your mother was alone - whenever Pelosi appeared to be getting mad, she'd take out some sheets of paper and look at them - seemed (to me) to be some kind of remember-to-breathe/take-me-to-another-place inspirational meditational words and/or pictures

I loved how he implicitly praised himself for empowering women in politics, and the women in the House applauded themselves for having been elected, most of them gaining political prominence exactly because they're opposed to Trump.

I didn't watch the Asshole-in-Chief last night, nor did any of my neighbors. My neighbor across the hall had it on his calendar, probably just for gagging rights. But what I did do was play Trump Against Humanity on my Amazon Echo. If any of you happen to have Amazon devices and haven't checked this out, it's hilarious. Not sure if it's available anywhere else, but if I can be proven wrong on that one I'd be eternally grateful. I actually read about it on an email discussion list. I thought it might've been another reality TV show or movie, but just out of sheer curiosity I asked my little princess to enable and launch it. Then the fun began.
