Taibbi: Official SOTU Drinking Game Rules

https://www.rollingstone.com/taibbi-state-of-union-drinking-game-rules-trump-edition-w516079

Some highlights:

Drink once each time President Trump:

1. Says "believe me," or claims to be the "most (something good)" or the "least (something bad)"

2. Pulls out a "some of my best friends are Haitian" line, or in some other painful way denies being racist. Drink twice if he does so and then also talks about building the Wall.

3. Talks priapismically about the Republican tax cut package, or hints at the great relationship he enjoys with the GOP leadership, causing a cutaway to a mortified Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell, as each struggles over whether or not to bite his glass cyanide capsule

4. Mentions ExxonMobil, Walmart, Apple or any other corporation that reportedly is investing in America because of Trump's tax package

5. Uses the "pinchy hands" gesture (up to a maximum of three times)

and scapegoat US for all his shortcomings and failures.

Prepare for persecution.

The one that looks like an "OK" handsign held awkwardly...
