He may mention trade, and I am against the TPP, but Trump has no coherent trade policy besides tariffs.

And that infrastructure plan? The plan to reduce drug prices? Actually doing things to protect workers? That great health care we are all supposed to get? All forgotten.

I might as well not even listen. I am anxious enough now and my doctor wanted me to take some breaks from politics. She is also afraid of the future now. And she likes the ACA unlike before.

smiling, applauding, back-slapping, joining standing ovations and all the usual collegial State of the Union horseshit, especially as the President enters. Leave that to the complicit Republicans. There should be zero normalizing and zero respect shown from Democrats. I'll have to review a tape after the fact because I certainly won't be watching it live as there would be an high risk of my kicking in my TV screen until it was dead.
