I’m going to try to watch it. I probably won’t last long. I know what I’m signing up for, and I only have myself to blame. ---

I usually don’t bother watching when I like the incumbent; it’s just a boring speech. Maybe if if they made in more ceremonial like the Speech from the Throne (or at least had the women were extravagant hats) I’d tune in. ---

I just tuned in and the first thing I heard was Elon Musk was traveling with the president and not J.D. Vance. Dunno if I can keep watching (I probably will). ---

I know. That’s exactly why I made a point of noting the time. You think there would be some mention of it as upcoming in 45 mins. ETA. Okay, there’s a tiny story on the front page.

Several others will skip the speech and host counterprogramming, such as live fact-checking. ---

I typically watch the SOTU address, and did so even during Trump’s first term. But now, with all he’s broken, destroyed, or otherwise ruined in the weeks since the inauguration, I don’t think I can watch tonight’s. I’ll keep an eye on this thread, though, for reports of the highlights (lowlights?). ---

I’ll watch a replay if a massive stroke happens. Otherwise, no. No, no, no, no watching live. The cheers that support this asshole somehow disturbs me more than he does. ---

I’m watching. Not sure how long I’ll be able to tolerate it. “America is back”. Yeah, back into an impending recession. ---
