1. I sat with my vomit bucket, wrapped my keyboard in plastic, and watched.
It exceeded my extremely low expectations for a total hack job, a panoply of lies and deceit. Now I need to go swig some pepto bismol!

6. That's me too.
I used to watch all the president's talks, but over the last couple of years I found myself unable to look at our own president without getting angry, ashamed, annoyed, upset, etc. Jeez, what a leader we've got when you can't even stand to look at him.

10. It's like a nightmare that we can't stop...
And our representatives in Congress are obviously not willing to stop him.

11. It makes it much easier to watch
if you know the people breaking it down will call him out on his BS, which is why I don't bother watching the tv/radio analysis:

12. I've never watched a single one of this fuckhead's SOTUs
I honestly cannot tolerate the sound of his voice. I swear to God I would Hulk out if I were ever forced to listen to more than five seconds of him.
