The world is experiencing a major European war in Ukraine, we have serious economic issues at home to address....and who decides to bail on this SOTU? They are bailing on the USA.

I think we should make their absence known later this year and 2024. They obviously support Trump who supports Putin.

But, maybe places like Okraine, will help us to think about our own Democracy and pay attention to recent American history. Electing a Narcist/Egotist/Ignorant/Bought person who tries to overthrown our US Govenment in 2021 ought to have been our wake-up call.


BTW, Joe is kicking ass.

I actually like the idea of mixing the seating....it takes away the "team" optics of the address. Let the ideas be what is important. For the viewer's sake (all Americans who think it is important) it might be a good thing to ket POTUS make his case without theatrics. There is plenty of time after the SOTU address to make your political case.

I'm betting more Americans are dialing in tonight then maybe ever, Because the shit is real.

My Senator, Sue Collins, should read up on Margaret Chase Smith. Or have a chat with Olympia Snowe*





*Spent quality time with Ms. Snowe back a summer weekend in the 90's. She actually worked on building a community playground in my town and I got partnered with her. A full day. Jeans, boots, gloves. It was fun and we had a great back and forth.

Sadly, she and her husband, former Gov. John McKernan disappeared from the Maine Republican scene and are nowhere to be seen in Maine. And that's how Trump/LePage took over the Maine Republican Party.
