Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

What would you like them to howl at this year's State of the Union?

I'll start. Two simple words, in unison:

"PEDOPHILE PROTECTORS!!"

It's simple, ladies. All you have to do is present your driver's license, and present your birth certificate, and sign an affidavit, and submit the affidavit for review, and there's a pretty good chance your vote will be counted. Now stop getting all hysterical.

Project Netflix: MAGA’s Plan To Sandbag Warner Bros Deal; Streamer Called β€œBiggest Political & Ideology Messaging Machine In Human History” Ted Sarandos' testimony tomorrow in front of the Senate could see MAGA forces try to blow up the streamer's plan to buy Warner Bros

Worth keeping an eye on this story: Heritage Foundation-linked group is trying to frame Netflix as being some super liberal company that puts out super liberal content (it's not).

Same strategy they successfully used against traditional media and social media.

Musk's latest statement on SpaceX XAi merger is such a load of deranged stream of consciousness technobabble, I can guarantee every media outlet will be ecstatic breathlessly parroting it verbatim.

I love that Trump can’t win with his Kennedy center, so he’s just closing it for two years!

What the Kennedy family should do now is ask for their name to be taken off Trumpβ€˜s center and have some wealthy donors build a brand new Kennedy center.

Melania Trump was paid $28 million to make a movie nobody wanted to see. That's called a bribe, folks

PERSON OF THE DAY. 15 January 1559. Elizabeth I was crowned Queen of England (aged 25) in Westminster Abbey. She was the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. The long reign of Elizabeth I until 1603 turned England into a major world power.

This is why we need the files. If there’s information that Bill Clinton had sex with minors, then arrest him, indict him, have a trial and sentence him. That’s America.
Then do the same with trump.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Tina Smith: "I've worked closely with law enforcement in my roles at state and local government, and I have never seen anybody describe as protocol holding a cell phone and taking video while you are simultaneously shooting a gun that ends up killing somebody. It's kind of unbelievable."

CHAIRMAN SITTING BEAR'S STATEMENT REGARDING SRST PUBLIC SAFETY
JANUARY 9, 2026
I have been receiving reports and evidence of First Nations people being racially targeted, assaulted, and detained by the federal agency Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). We want to remind our members to be safe and proactive by carrying with you at a minimum your tribal identification cards or a copy of your degree of Indian Blood. Our tribal identification affirms our citizenship and political status.
Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands. Any federal activity within our boundaries must recognize and respect our tribal sovereignty, treaty obligations, and established jurisdictional boundaries. Any ICE presence or activity within our lands is not authorized, not welcome, and will be addressed. Unauthorized personnel will be escorted off our lands.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long timeβ€”that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

No, dumbass. Mars will never be green with life.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is defiantly and aggressively and usually illegally polluting Earth air, water, and land with own companies every single day.

There are times, when the depression is at its worst, that I keep myself alive purely out of rage and spite. I have a lot of graves to piss on, and I can't do that if I'm dead, so here I remain.

Anyway do we know where Cheney's going to be buried, yet? Asking for a friend, no reason

Just went to get my hair cut at a new place, which always makes me feel trepidatious, to put it mildly. I was so happy to discover my stylist wasn't a small-talker. Tipped him 50%. #introvert #SilenceIsSoUnderrated #IDontEvenCareAboutTheCut
