Tonight we will be subjected to the off topic rants and accusations of our Dear Leader in his SOTU speech….it will be a contentious one….some Dems will opt out and Donny will be still fuming about the SCOTUS decision on his silly tariffs.
President Trump delivers his State of the Union speech Tuesday night, and he’s tipping his hand on only one aspect of it in advance: “It’s going to be a long speech because we have so much to talk about,” he told reporters on Monday, reports the New York Times. Tariffs, inflation, immigration, and Iran are just a few of the topics on the agenda as the midterms loom. One other aspect getting attention: the awkwardness of Supreme Court justices attending days after Trump slammed some of them as “disloyal” and “lap dogs” because of their decision to invalidate his tariffs. For Chief Justice John Roberts in particular, it will be quite a contrast from last year’s first joint session of Congress, which was all “warmth and good vibes,” notes USA Today.
This year, Roberts authored the opinion that has led to days of attacks on the court by the president, and Roberts was joined not only by the court’s liberals, but by two Trump appointees, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett—whom Trump called “an embarrassment to their families.” Asked whether those justices were still welcome at Tuesday’s address, Trump answered they were “barely invited” and said, “I couldn’t care less if they come.” Meanwhile, at least half a dozen Democratic lawmakers plan to skip the speech in favor of an alternate event at the National Mall, reports CNN.
I am sure that Donny will have something to say about the decision for he cannot let anything goo especially if someone has defied him in some way and SCOTUS has done just that.
There is word that some Dems will invite some Epstein survivors to the speech….grandstanding and some prominent people are calling for average viewers to tune out.
I am a political junkie I cannot not watch the speech and write a summary of what I saw and heard….it should be entertaining…..at least for me.
Stay tuned for I will post my thoughts on the disaster that will be the SOTU speech for 2026.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
It isn’t shown in full here, but some parts will be on the BBC News channel. My feeling is that anyone opposed to him should stand with their backs to him, during the speech. Tell him that they have no respect for him as president.
Best wishes, Pete.
The Dems are planning this big deal as a rebuttal I will wait to see just what they have. chuq
YOU are a glutton for punishment …
And just to let you know in advance, I will not be reading your “thoughts on the disaster.” I have more respect for my mental condition than to expose it to such drivel … and I’m not referring to your writing.
I understand but I just cannot skip the speech….I know it is a sickness….LOL chuq
I already have my evening’s viewing cued up, and it doesn’t include that poor demented old man’s ravings. I have season 9 of South Park ready to go tonight.
You are a wise man my friend. chuq
Actually I ended up binge watching Lucifer on Netflix. I’d already seen most of season 1 and started where I picked up and I kept going “Oh, I’ll watch just one more” and the next thing I knew it was 4 hours later. That damned show can be addictive.
Anyway, it’s almost 4 AM at the moment and from what I’ve been hearing on the news on the local radio station I didn’t miss much. Just the usual theatrics on both sides.
You did not….I cover it in IST a little later…..you were a wise man to forgo the pain of this Sh*t Show. chuq
