    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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"

  • mxmarksmxmarks Registered User regular
    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.

    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?

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

    A) listen to this monster.

    or

    B) Hunt some Monsters.


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

    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

  • mcpmcp Registered User regular
    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.

    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.

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    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
