You'll just have to imagine the context for all of these comments I posted on my Facebook feed last night. At least I put them in chronological order:
- Watching the State of the Union with the sound off, and PBS closed captions. And a big martini.—at Agami Contemporary Sushi.
- I don't know if I can do this. I thought without the sound my skin wouldn't crawl as much. But the words could have come from the Politburo. And Mike Pence is so creepy.
- OK, I need a non-trivial truthful statement. Just one. Please.
- If all these groups have record employment, how come everyone feels poor? Maybe because having 3 jobs doesn't feel great?
- Yeah, you kicked 7 of those 10 million off food stamps. Not a win.
- Juan F'ing Guaidó? Wow. Talk about a stopped clock being right twice a day. Except Trump actually prefers Maduro, so...
- Watching him without hearing him, you get a real sense of the insincerity. Go back and watch when everyone was applauding Guaidó. What a weird affect Trump had.
- "Failing government school?" STFU you illiterate dullard.
- Interesting how he's only using the stage-left (Republican side) teleprompter.
- "We will never let socialism destroy American healthcare!" Obviously, because you're happy with capitalism doing it first.
- Free healthcare to illegal aliens, oh my! (SOTU live vomiting post #2)
- And there goes the Medal of Freedom. Which Melania just happened to have in her pocket. To place on a man who has done more to destroy political comity in this country than anyone else. I really didn't think anything about this SOTU could shock me. I was wrong.
- Second martini delivered. Thank you, sir.
- OMG. He's pulling a Willie Horton in the SOTU.
- OMG. He's pulling a second... Third... How many Willie Hortons can one bring into one speech? We get it: you hate brown people. Move on.
- What's this weird shoulder thing he's doing?
- 187 Federal judges. Remember that. 187. About a quarter of them.
- Wow. That was an epic take-down of the Establishment Clause.
- Emotional frisson right now: watching SOTU with closed captions and Agami's sound system is playing "Shake It Off."
- WTF "our warfighters?"
- Wow. You brought SFC Williams home from a deployment so you could turn the SOTU into a reality-television special. Of course you did.
- "The beautiful, beautiful, Alamo." There's no basement in the President's knowledge!
At this point, two martinis in, I stopped posting. At least I didn't start sobbing.
