Pretty sure many of us will wait for the SOTU recap, the short version. Pity those journalists who must witness The Great Prevarication aka SOTU. What is there to brag about? An ICE who has gone rogue too often. The illegitimate use of military force, implied and actual. Sure the DOW is up, so is investor flight as I read in Treasury bonds. In the midst the dead serious, disgusting Epstein imbroglio. And the continuing grift. The Board of Peace sounds all too reminiscent of another Trump enterprise, the illicit Trump Foundation.

Warn if by land

Warn if by sea

Strained math for you

Louder rhetoric for me

..the beat-er moves on to destroy other places , the ‘legal’wrist slaps get verbal tongue lashing of double down just “another way” as bully (knee) jerks defy again.

The damage polls reveal craters while later courts play catch-me-if-you-can with the ginger-bread man …sordidly sad.

The long term effects ?

Are you actually dead from the bullet when you hear the fatal shot?

SOTU will be his typical littany of lies and grievances. It will be unbearable. I hope the Olympians don't get pulled in as props for standing ovations.

Regarding Gaza....In a demonstration of how and why religion infused into government can be destructive to the world, Ambassador Huckabee reminded us that God gave the lands of the Middle East to the Hebrews according to bible stories, and therefore Israel should be able to just take over the areas “from the wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates — the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.” This meshes completely with statements by Netanyahu which he feels justifies the obvious genocide he is carrying out against the Palestinians.

I'm sure his name will be on every hotel and resort in Gaza.

Each and every one of them will pay a humungous licensing fee for the naming “privilege” upfront and ongoing. These folks make the robber barons of the gilded age look like small change and at least some of the robber barons built libraries.

How did we get here?!?!? dishonesty, payoffs, and lies.

Even though MTG won't be there in her big white coat, there will be plenty of Republicans acting as if this is normal, and even fun. Lindsay Graham will show up drunk, Marco Rubio will wear his big boy pants and Melania may bring in one of Epstein's survivors for company. But the big question on everyone's minds: will the SCOTUS show? Will they risk and possibly endure insults from the podium? I sure hope they don't lose Mike Johnson's padded pillow so the big chair doesn't swallow the small man.

"A year in, what do we have? The national debt has not meaningfully declined."

It's worse than that. According to Congress's Joint Economic Committee, the total gross national debt was $2.23 trillion higher on December 3, 2025, relative to the year before, which comes to an increase of $6,566.84 per person.

Oh boy! This SOTU is going to be a doozey! I bet he wishes he could be in a hundred different places right about now!

His giant banners sporting his “I’m a menacing sex trafficker” visage are already hanging in about a hundred different places right now - like outside DOJ headquarters! Oh so very North Korea!
