State of the Union 2018 follow-along thread

CBS News already has their live stream up and they’ll have the Democratic response afterwards as well.

I think most of us are boycotting.

ETA: With the teleprompter, there’s not likely to be much humor. So, just boring hostage-tape stuff.

I don’t know. I think he’ll go off script pretty well. I’m sure we’ll hear the word “collusion” a few times.

I’m not watching, but if you are you have to do a shot every time he says “great”.

He does look away from them from time to time. He can get totally lost in less than 3 seconds.

Man, the rules…

I predict it will be boring, and he will successfully read from a teleprompter (despite telling us how when Obama used one, it was the worst thing a president could do other than collude with a foreign adversary to win an election). GOP leaders will say it was the best speech ever, Democratic leaders will disagree. Think pieces will be written using the word “pivot” and “presidential”.

No one will remember the speech by Friday.

Whoops! I forget to make sure everyone could get their bingo card!

I have no doubt my devices send my viewing habits back to whomever, so I am making a special effort to avoid having it on at all, even to staying off Twitter! :eek:

That bingo card misspells “Uniom”.

If you rearrange the letters, it spells “GIBON”.

You could warn a person! I was not expecting the free space. :smiley:

You misspelled “Uniom:” ;). I think for the most part Trump is going to be able to stay on scrip and read from the teleprompter unless something really unnerves him (such as Melania refusing to get in the limo).

But will he interrupt himself halfway through to tell us (well, not me as such, but whoever might be watching/listening) how stupendous the rating for this speech are? The best ratings? Ever?

Of all the things you might watch, this is the thing you’re worried “whomever” might learn about?

Question for the group: If you were an illegal immigrant, and Nancy Pelosi had invited you to attend, would you?

Of course he will, he’s all about money. But will he stick to the written version of his speech?

Eh, President Very Special Genius wants ratings, so I’m not going to be giving them to him.

Well, he doesn’t need to GET good ratings to claim good ratings, kwim?

I’m not watching either, but I will watch this thread. I can’t bear to look at him or to hear the sound of his voice.
