The damn republicans in both houses of congress are scum. Felon47 just slithered in to deliver (yeah, right) the SOTU. And instead of a normal round of applause for their idol, they started doing that rally clap (what is it, We Are the Champions?).

He just started his so-called speech with “America is Back”. And those marmoset fuckers are chanting “USA USA USA”. And felon47 is lying like a toupee. He’s asserted he’s accomplished more in 43 days than any other administration in its entirety.

Nitpick: Not SOTU. It is a Joint Session of Congress.

To be fair, he has accomplished an awful lot in a short time— ruining the lives of hundreds of government employees, destroying our standing in the international community, and dangerously compromising our national security. Not to mention being well on the way to crippling the economy.

How so? SOTU = State of the Union address. Putin’s pal is there to deliver that to Congress.
