Are they really going to let that syphilitic old man do the SOTU?

Is there an effort started yet to make it the least watched SOTU since the invention of television?

Could you imagine the ketchup flying if this SOTU viewership is down 600, 700, 800, even 1,200 percent?

If you had a cancer that fed on publicity and views, would you watch it?

A celebration of joy and love, caused the MAGAts to have an entire alternate Super Bowl Halftime Show. Where is sane America's alternative SOTU?

I would rather scoop my eyeballs out with a melon-baller, than watch a feeble pedophile tell me how "great" he is.

It will be like watching a dog work a Trigonometry Equation, while half the room and the 4TH Estate try to convince me that the dog is a genius.

Count me out!

They all are variations of how great the U.S. is, I'm honored you elected me president, and this is what I see as the future of our nation, and we all need to work together to keep our country great.
Won't watch t, he is just irritating.

4. Nope I won't be watching either. It is better for my mental health to not watch it.

and give the rest of us blow by blows. I know Brad Cooney on Threads is stepping up to take one for the team.

As well, the media will use the mad ravings of a lunatic to try and take our eyes off of the Trumpstein Files Cover Up. Let them wear themselves out - then we can pick back up the Regime's ill deeds.

and he will mention several times that "affordability" is a hoax and that he invented the word "groceries". In any case, I won't be watching.
