Well I think we can all agree that was a great way to spend two full hours of our lives.

I don't know about all of you, but I've definitely earned me some ice cream.

Jesus H. Christ on a pogo stick, he did go on for two hours. Apparently the longest state of the union speech on record.

Trump giving the final part of the speech like a kid reading a school report.

And Trump has now officially set the record for the longest ever State of the Union address (and presidential speech before Congress).

Trump got boring.

Perhaps the worst thing that could have happened to him.

Just old, boring tricks now. Nothing new.

Just your usual reminder that if your have anything against trans people, you can fuck right off.

This is unbelievable. Everyone of these slack-witted sycophants is proud of the fact that they stand when Trump tells them too. My dog has more independence than these clowns.

This is the Stephen Miller section of the speech, isn't it?

Image of John Roberts looking sad with the thinnest lips you've ever seen after Trump trashed the tariff ruling during state of the union 2026. What a fucking loser

This is honestly just boring. He isn't even saying anything batshit insane, he's just trotting out the classics, and meandering after every other sentence.

Wow, didn't expect him to attack the Supreme Port

Ok, I can believe this is going to take two hours.

trump is always in dialogue with the teleprompter, he reads a line then repeats it or comments on it as if it's the first time he's seen the words

Bush I: 45m
Clinton: 1h15m
Bush II: 52,
Obama: 1h02m

Going to watch the State of the Union, mostly in case there are any fireworks. My predictions:

[ ] Calls Supreme Court justices "traitors" to their faces
[ ] Drops an f-bomb
[ ] Has a McConnell-style brain freeze
[ ] Whoopsie, he did a poopsie

It's -10Β°C (14Β°F) outside, and the snow keeps coming down. Perfect weather for some home-made chili.
