Propaganda of the United States
Not my cup of tea
I'd already planned on skipping this and looking at Colbert's excerpts on his show. It wouldn't be the same anyway without Speaker Nancy Pelosi golf clapping at his gibbering. And ripping up the written copy as a chef's kiss.
I'll just watch the condensed version tomorrow.
summary: everything is better, everyone is making more money, everything is cheaper, all crime is down, every industry is producing more, inflation is gone, unemployment is gone, housing is affordable, healthcare is affordable, there are zero illegal immigrants, etc
It’s 3am where I live. I wasn’t planning on listening to a demented pedofiles rambling in the middle of the night.
For those of us not versed in the Divided States... whatever it is, what does the state of the union usually do/entail?
It's a speech that the President gives to a joint session of Congress, so Senators and Representatives are all in the chamber together.
The Constitution mandates that the President gives Congress an update on the State of the Union "from time to time", and over the years that has evolved into a speech given around this time of year, every year except the first year of a President's term. It is also viewed as an opportunity for the President to advocate for legislation he favors.
I'm watching for the Bingo game. I'll get Bingo when he mentions Greenland.
During the last one he said all medical research funding cancelled cause of transgenic mice . Cause he thought that meant transgender.
Only watching because it’s going to be fucking hilarious.
Watch later it will be the same thing
True. Ten minutes in and can’t stomach it anymore.
My wife walked into the living room with it on her phone . I got up and left. Lol
Covid daily briefings ruined any patience I had for listening to dudebro speak.
