Nothing against Joe Kennedy personally but yeah. Would have been nice to see a woman giving the response.

Representative Maxine Waters is giving a response on BET as well.

I wont watch but I'll keep an eye on twitter because if I see a lot of stuff pop up about him slurring a ton or getting insane I'll jump in to watch it live.

Isn't the rebuttal pretty much a losing game anyways?

Anyone who donates $35 or more to Trump's campaign during the State of the Union gets to have their name flashed on the screen.

The President of the United States is now a Twitch-streamer, ladies and gentlefolk.

There's like

negative infinity chance there isn't at some point somebody getting something super racist on screen huh

I want to know who had the bright idea to put a fucking Kennedy on like dynastic politics is something we should celebrate. Not just any Kennedy, but a shitbird who is deep in the pocket of pharmaceutical companies and who thinks jailing people for pot use is A-OK.

I know why you say this, but damn if I don't miss Ted Kennedy something terrible still.

That streaming thing is the most outrageously fucking stupid thing I've ever heard of.

I'd do it just so see if I could get Donald Drumpf up there.

Matev

Not giving him the satisfaction of a rating. Gonna salute you brave folks who choose to watch Trump slow jerk himself on live television though, you’re the real heroes.

I don't know. Why we ask the pubs rising star and token minority, Bobby Jindal?

Don't give 35 bucks to Donald Trump, I don't care how good your joke is.

Blackjack

I volunteer to take your 35 dollars instead,so you won’t be tempted.

Trump's public speaking style -- aggressive, entitled smugness paired with near-constant, insecure whining, delivered in a way that is best visualized by one of those "Billy's map" Family Circus comics, and with all the coherence of a sleep talker -- causes me real, actual physical discomfort.

I ain't watching this shit.

Marathon

Tuesday is raid night so I’d rather play WoW with SE peeps than watch this bullshit.

I can’t stand to hear Trump speak, I’ll catch a summary afterwords.

Addendum: The drumpf joke is not good

I am reminded of the live streaming of the RNC fax machine that started spitting out such winning names as "Andrew Brierbart's Rotting Corpse", "Piss Children", "A Horse's Erect Penis", and "Weedlord BonerHitler"

mxmarks

There is no way all the names arent already written out ready to go.

Then they can say "Wow thanks for contributing there were so many names we couldn't get to them all! But don't worry here's a txt file of everyones names so print that out and show your friends your name."

Depends on if it is all automated or names are selected by hand.

Kinda wonder if "John Barron" will show up.

Goose!

So not strictly SOTU, but apparently the guy in Hawaii who sent the false alarm thought a missile attack was imminent. Sign of the times indeed.

Awwwwwww yeah let's get wrecked and watch an idiot flounder and pander shamelessly for a couple of hours...i might just go play pinball instead.

I feel like the rebuttal to this SOU should just be a link to this:

Daypigeon

if you've got some money to spare and want to use it on something that indirectly cuts against the president, I might suggest donating to a charity or aid organization that helps refugees?

https://www.rescue.org/ and https://www.hias.org/ are pretty good off the top of my head

the dem response needs to spit fire and it won't so I can't even bring myself to care about the fact that it's being delivered by the heretofore-least exciting member of a patrician political dynasty

I'm just gonna choose to experience this through the thread, I think.

When it boils down to it, I have two options on how to spend my evening:

A) listen to this monster.

or

Hunt some Monsters.


I choose the latter, as I can already assume what our racist dumbass president will say.

I'm going to need a new computer monitor because I just put my fucking fist through this one.

Desert Leviathan

Is anyone in the thread actually planning to watch? Or are we all just going to wait for some other braver souls to filter the highlights for us?

Instead tonight I'm planning to watch the Captain America trilogy, get drunk, and eat an unreasonable amount of pizza, while pretending that Chris Evans is my boyfriend and/or president.

my lady works at a large online diamond/jewelry retailer, in their customer service department

one of her co-workers handled a large order from Joe Kennedy recently and he was allegedly a fucking shitheel, in that he was incredibly disdainful and disrespectful, an assertion which I absolutely believe about anyone from east coast old money

mcp

I don't think I mind Kennedy giving the response. He can give a speech fairly well.

It's kind of a stupid thing anyway.

Anyone with designs on 2020 is going to stay away.

Couscous

The idea of Massachusetts as some ultra-left wing place where Democratic candidates can't lose is how you get Republican governors of Massachusetts and the guy after Ted Kennedy being a Republican.

Shorty

it isn't guaranteed but it's not hard, and the fact that Scott Brown managed to win there says way more about his opponent than anything else

To be fair the dude pronounced chowder wrong.
