If you’re not watching the State Of The Union, you’re not missing much. Trump is in high amp mode tonight, to the point where it was speculated that he might have blown out his mike. The fact checkers have their hands full. Ron Filipkowski says Trump told 23 lies in his first 18 minutes, probably some kind of a personal best for him. And Trump has stared down both the Democrats and the Supreme Court justices for their imagined transgressions. Then there’s this:

As I’ve said ad nauseum, the GOP is fine with Trump in power forever. Just fine. You remember what David Frum said in 2015 and it was considered a radical quote at the time, “If conservatives discover that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.”
Trump is supposed to go until midnight tonight. I don’t expect it to get any better, do U? BTW, Lauren Underwood of Illinois has walked out and Al Green got thrown out earlier for showing Trump a handlettered sign that said, “Black people are not apes.”
Actually, it should be his third prison term, IMO.
