Good sanity break to NOT take any notice.
Trump has talked himself into a state of irrelevancy.
Collecting belly button fluff is probably a more worthwhile way to spend your time.

(81,972 posts)Eager to see Stacey Abrams.
I have it on in the background but can't hear much. Got a looloo of a cold and so I'm hacking a lot. But the visuals are enjoyable - seeing all the women in white, and Madame Speaker seated in that exalted position.
Also enjoying the non-responses on the Democratic side of the aisle. NOBODY should be standing or clapping AT ALL.

(209,215 posts)If I'm early, a repeat of Murder, She Wrote must be on somewhere. I got reacquainted with that show, watched it with my grandmother, when Trump showed up on TV during the campaign!

(11,885 posts)State of his Delusions address because it'll first be filled with lies, and distortions and false claims towards anyone who dare oppose him and putin in any way. He's promoting more division , not unity, and will claim the opposite of the truth , again. He's a lazy dysfunctional loser who got sucked into over borrowing from the russians and putin organized criminals to prop up his mirage he's a billionaire fantasy , and now he goes before the country claiming himself as the greatest President ever for his pr promotion conning people into believing this BS , again. He's a crook, a traitor to this country, and a serial liar and con artist desperately hiding the truth to try to fool the fools he tricked once again that everything he says is to be believed , when again its nothing but more lies , and failures. The Republicans are finished as many , many more people are running from this corrupt group of criminals trying to escape justice coming for them now. They know it too. They just thought the Mid Terms was bad for them. 2020 will be their worse nightmare.

(4,308 posts)When I cut cable in 2014 telling Bombast to eat shit because of their ever-increasing rates and dreadful customer service streaming content has been my go-to alternative when the local HD channels (via attic antenna) fail to entertain, inform, enlighten, etc.
So, thats Plan A: Stream content.
Plan B: pop in a BluRay Disc or DVD from my library of 200+ titles.
Plan C (which can be simultaneous with A or B): hang out here at DU to catch others feedback.

(3,009 posts)It'll probably be on in my house somewhere as there are others who'll want to watch. But I won't watch.
The reason is that after 2 years of Trump, there is nothing new that he can say that would change my opinion of him or his policies. He and his administration will be the same train wreck after the SOTU as they were before the SOTU. There will be no surprises.
If there was news of some new direction that might be revealed - on the wall, or immigration, or LGBT rights, or his orientation toward our world allies, or a reversal on the tariffs, or anything that would demonstrate a major move in the direction of goodness instead of evil - then I'd watch. But, there's been no such news. He'll be the same Trump after as before.
