In less than 24 hours, the State of the Union address should begin. Feel free to vent here about anything connected with it.
For non-BBQ PIT-esque commentary, feel free to make them in 2026 State of the Union thread in Politics & Elections.
Lord willing and the creek don’t rise, this will be the night when Trump finally fucks up so badly and so tremendously that not even the MAGA diehards can ignore the fact that he’s completely and totally senile.
I wonder if the drugs they give him to combat his sun downing will be insufficient, leading to a two hour, incoherent rant, or they’ll go too far and he’ll rapid fire spit out his nonsense.
Also, will all of SCOTUS attend? Will he tell them to their faces, in front the whole country, that they are disgraceful?
Either way, I’ll be hate watching it (or as much as I can take) with the sound off.
I was happy to hear the US Women’s Hockey team declined the invite to the speech. Smart ladies.
It will be nonsensical and filled with lies as usual, but I don’t think it will be the disaster you’re hoping for. The speech will have been written by his handlers, who will advise him to stay on script. He’s probably still capable of more or less doing that.
Trump could literally dip his hand into his diaper and fling feces at the audience, and MAGA would still applaud his leadership and statecraft.
I’m not so sure. I’m rather hoping not, in fact.
Ah, the ol’ GG Allin special.
The difference being Alin was convicted and imprisoned. And apparently had talent for Punk music. Rip van Simple, on the other hand, is simply a punk.
