Wife and I went to watch our Cowboys beat West Virginia in basketball.

blowing smoke out his ass for two hours.

Was supposed to be off volunteered to work the night shift at the tax office so to avoid the speech.

I looked through a live blog and DU while watching basketball. Got the gist of it: lots of lies and self-promotion

Besides, I knew it would be a N. Korea kind of audience and I couldn't stomach it.

Sooooo much better than watching a lying demented pedophile

Oh dear lordy.

Life is too precious to waste watching an idiot embarrassing himself.

to change the channel when I hear his voice or see his face. He gives this advice to all patients being treated for hypertension.

Watching that speech would be hazardous to my health.

my noise canceling headphones so my head wouldn’t explode hearing his whiney voice spout lie after lie.

Can’t look at him for any length of time. Never could even in the 1980’s.

but normally keep the radio on our local news station overnight, with volume down real low. Fell asleep right before he even started but then woke up around 10:24 pm to hear his nightmarish voice rambling on and exclaimed "OMFG he's still going!", immediately reached over, turned the radio off, and went back to sleep.

I have to be up at 3am for work. So bed early. Wifey sadly has taken to watching Fox News Lite (aka NewsNation) for Cuomo and somehow tolerates the others (ex Fox News "hosts" ) being on (probably cos she's actually asleep by the time Cuomo is finished). To counter this I have white noise playing in my Bluetooth sleep mask. That man doesn't stand a chance.

... "If there's nothing on TV, read a good book!" And that's what I did.

and had started it when I was on jury duty last fall and need to get back to it! Sorkin was able to make a gripping literary masterpiece out of a historic event.

Skipped Hitlers liefest.

I don't get rabbit ears because I am too far from a metro area. I only subscribe to a streaming service (hulu) 6 months a year because all I watch is football. But even if I did have access to watch it I wouldn't because I have better things to do then listen to Trump. Better things like literally anything.

First time ever a SOTU wasn't on in our house. I finally convinced him not to watch it - yay~~ He hates krasnov, but always felt he should watch so he'd know for himself. Now, he's realized it's a bad use of time and not doing it was so much better!

Listening to one and a half hours of Trump is not one of them.

nt

I'm old. My time is limited and I'm not spending any more of it than absolutely necessary listening to or watching that festering fat heap of evil.

Whomever came up with it needs a Noble Prize, the Heisman Trophy, and the Pulitzer Prize too.

I watched John Oliver and 4 episodes of Jeopardy

Wanted to keep my dinner down.

Skipped the speech and judging from the lack of online reaction, the whole thing looks like it was a total bore for republicans and democrats alike. Trump is sundowning.

I was happy to miss that two hour barrage of bullshit.

Which was quite a strange movie.

Not as strange as trump, but still a strange movie.

propaganda harangue.

No interest in hearing him lie.

... someone scraped the worst of humanity's instincts off the floor of a gas station bathroom, stuffed it into a rancid sausage skin, and taught it to make noises with its face.*

Why would anyone willingly subject themselves to such embarrassment?

(*Paraphrasing a colorful description I saw here some years ago)

It would take an astronomical amount of cash for me to listen to him (hey, a guy has to pay his utility bill somehow).

Then I watched some recorded programs. I can't listen to his lies. I predicted a two hour speech and was certainly close enough.

I must have missed it. I had absolutely nothing to do.

I am just lucky I guess.

I can't stand to hear his voice, let alone look at him for 2 seconds. I'm glad that didn't.

I sure as hell didn't miss it. Fuck Trump and anyone who voted for the pedophile rapist.

Heard about the “black people aren’t monkeys sign”. Who was the girl that Trump said her teachers were trying to turn her trans and when Trump had her family stand up she clapped with her two fingers. She wasn't taken away, she willingly ran away from home to escape them because they denied her care and probably worse.

And, that's a private family matter. I'm sure the girl would have preferred to maintain her privacy like most teenagers but her parents obviously liked basking in the MAGA glow.

Her father gave her a dirty look. It was obviously all staged. She should have yelled out "what are you going to do? Beat me like you do at home?". Her parents wanted her to lie. So even if her lie wasn't true, neither was their BS for Trump.

And there was a guy standing next to her father who was also scowling at her. Was that their lying pastor?

accept her and would never do anything like that to her. I could tell the girl wanted to be anywhere else but there.

But parents who weren't decent enough to consider her physical and mental health wouldn't care about using her as a prop either.

Damn, missed it.

haha

And if there wasn't "State of the Swamp" or "The People's State of the Union" I would not have subjected myself to the lies of that orange slug, nor the standing ovations of his corrupt minions.

…. whose bones were discovered in a cave in S. Africa in 2013. They were about half the size of us
but had complex behaviors such as burying their dead. The cave had a very small opening so the
paleontologist had to hire women who were small enough, were brave enough to crawl down and then
climb back up a very tight opening to the burial chamber, and they had to know science along with
how to excavate the bones too.

Just the thought of crawling into that cave gave me chills.

I can't listen to that oily-voiced liar any more.

I know he's a liar and a thief. I wouldn't let someone like that in my house and if I were on the street and saw him approaching, I'd cross to the other side. He isn't part of my real life. I can be aware and active in politics and live a life of service without recognizing his existence or giving him oxygen.

Here's the episode: https://www.marketplace.org/episode/2026/02/24/were-trying-to-control-what-we-can-control-a-fed-president-reflects

I need to be aware of everything this modern day Hitler has to say.
He pretty much lied and exaggerated everything to make himself look good and Democrats look bad.

I avoided the late nite shows too, just to not have to hear about the goddamn moron. I may watch them later today.

Oh wait! Is it a new series on Gas Station TV? Nah, I have a hybrid so haven't been to pump as much.

But seriously, no I did skip it. I can't stand the guy, moreover, if you've seen one speech, you've seen them all. Whoever his speechwriter is has the cushiest job in the world.

I may watch Reese Waters or Destiny's watchalongs on YouTube but the whole thing organically?? Nah, fam, I'm good.

And never will.

release the unredacted epstein files - in their entirely

Was happy to see so many of our Dem lawmakers participate.

So said Senator Chris Murphy who spoke at the Peoples State of the Union sponsored by Move-On and Meidas Touch Network.

sticking hot pokers in my eyes.

The UN’s Human Rights Commission are now talking about the Trump/Epstein/Putin International
Child sex trafficking ring as a crime against humanity and femicide (killing women).

What would be the point?

Much less his lies and boasting.

I watched Leanne Morgan on Netflix. She joked about men’s silly habits and menopause. Topics I’m willing to laugh about. I won’t watch him and even clips of him, I mute.

No amount of money could have persuaded me to watch that shitshow.

Not gonna waste my time on that blithering idiot.

Why listen to a Miller-driven lie-a-thon?

And I second everything else that was said here.

I can’t look at his face, much less listen to his jibberish.

I'd rather have a high colonic enema or a colonoscopy sans anesthesia.

the WWE type presentation that this evil clown has turned our politics into. Seeing JD and Mike Johnson smirking in the background. What a horrible shame.

Why listen to hours of self praise, lies and malicious attacks.

Than listen to him.

Didn't watch it, didn't miss it.

I watch a man that (has 34 felony convictions) stands up there telling multiple lies and watch people cheering for that. No thanks.

then watched the Lincoln Project's take on the fuckery at the Capitol

All the lying makes my teeth itch.

the People's SOTU speeches in front of the Capitol. The Dems were there with their guests.

Then, I turned the radio off, rolled over in bed, and went to sleep.

My wife, on the other hand, watched the entire thing on MSNOW. This morning, she said, "I should have done what you did."

fart through his mouth. NBA games are better.

and that was between changing channels. 5 seconds I can never get back. ugh disgusting!!!

not present

I did not waste my time listening to a con artist lie for two hours.

It's better for my mental health.

I missed it, I don think I missed a thing

Husband watched it. I woke up for a few seconds now and then to catch things like "blood spurting" and tariffs and fell back to sleep.

Does that count for awake or skipped it?

The story grows ever more complex....
There are staff archaeologists now, and an onsite lab.

before TSF says anything honest or constructive.

I didnt "miss" it I just prefer to read transcripts or in this case read unbiased or foreign fact checks.

I gave myself a facial & read a book. I knew if I watched it, I'd get mad & yell at the TV like my father used to. Did I miss anything?

No need to sit through more.

waste of space.

No way was I watching that lie fest.

Then continued series I am watching.

Much more interesting.
