Oh, god, the State of the Union address is coming up soon

[central scrutinizer]

Another incomprehensible third grade level rant. Maybe he will declare martial law or announce that he is seizing the bank accounts of everybody who voted for Hillary. I won't be able to watch it.

[monmouth4]

1. He'll tweet it..

[Orrex]

2. The state of the union is terrific

Really, you can't believe how terrific it is.

[dobleremolque]

3. All the Members of Congress will be

sitting in the Chamber with their own Twitter accounts blazing away. Trump will HAVE to respond with his own tweets, so ... Twitter better beef up their servers that day.

I, for one, will be downing a shot everytime he makes that forefinger/thumb in a circle gesture...

[Vinca]

4. It'll be huuuuuuuuuuuge, tremendous, terrific, the best and did I say it will be

huuuuuuuuuuge, tremendous, terrific and the best? That's about the extent of his vocabulary.

[GusBob]

5. If he follows form, he will thank the people who voted for him, and insult the rest

first words out of his mouth for 100, Alec

[central scrutinizer]

7. Need a bingo card

But there are 25 squares on a bingo card and I don't think his vocabulary is that big

[lame54]

6. Given by the Prostate of the Nation

[hatrack]

8. I wouldn't listen if you paid me $10/word

I'd rather watch garbage falling out of a truck.

[question everything]

9. I don't think that a newly elected president gives a state of the union

what can he possibly say? He did not govern the union in the past year.

I know Obama did not in 2009. There may be addressing congress but I don't think it is called state of the union.

[dumbcat]

10. That's what I thought, also, but

Also, in recent decades, newly inaugurated presidents have chosen to deliver speeches to joint sessions of Congress in the early months of their presidencies, but have not officially considered them State of the Union addresses.[7]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_the_Union

So it's not officially a SOTU anddress, but still a speech before the nation.

It seems to be scheduled for Feb 21. I'm not familiar with this source so I don't know how reliable it is.

I'll probably be sick.

[Different Drummer]

11. But it's going to be yuge and terrific. It will...

succeed bigly in the ratings, unlike "The Celebrity Apprentice" now that Arnold Schwarzenegger is hosting it.

[Motown_Johnny]

12. New Presidents tend to wait a year.

Odds are we won't need to endure that until 2018.

[central scrutinizer]

13. I knew it is explicitly required in the Constitution

And it is usually in January so I was already starting to cringe.

[Motown_Johnny]

14. The requirement is vague.

I can look it up if you want, but I remember a scene from "The West Wing" where The President says something like "I could buy them all a subscription to the New York Times and be done with it." (paraphrased).

[Volaris]

15. Yep it can be delivered in writing.

[tritsofme]

16. New presidents typically address a joint session of Congress within the first few weeks/months

But it is not technically a "State of the Union" address

[roamer65]

17. I like my TV enuff not to watch it.

[Jacob Boehme]

18. Personally, I'd rather listen to feral cats fucking in an alley....

....than to hear Baron Harkonen Trump blather on.
