But I appreciate you doing it. Please report back. I don't think I could stand to watch it!

so am a few steps removed in Ottawa. It will be harrowing but not as much as it will be for you. Plus I am already on meds for ptsd.

8. I'm considering changing my mind about not watching- I'd watch to be witness to the Epstein survivors.

To be ignored is his Achilles heel.

Plus, it's nothing but propaganda and blatant lies. I'll wait for the satirical highlights it deserves.

. . . how much time does "the media" have blocked out for it?? I expect Trump will ramble on and on and at some point will the networks say fuck this, let's get on with the schedule?

We aren't watching.

Please tell us what you think after the speech. I bet he will lambast Dems from start to finish.

He won’t make any overly serious—as in Republicans suddenly clamoring for his removal—mistakes.

I mean like negotiating a trillion dollar chip deal with Count Techula of the country of Insomnia.
