      The Root is here to watch Donald Trump’s foolishness so the rest of us don’t have to.

    Y’all need to quit pretending like Melania is a princess trapped in a tower. She made her bed, she can lie in it.

      That silly thing sold her soul for money and fame and now she gets to watch as her son finds out how daddy was getting spanked by has-been porn stars right after little barron was fresh popped out. She’s had plenty of time to dump that rancid sack of orangutan shit.

      She’s our own princess in the dark orange tower. (south park).

      Sad smile for her...

      Really, and her Barron too.

    *reads lists*

    Why are you out here trying to give people alcohol poisoning?

    Like others mentioned, I will be watch Black Lightning, and when that’s over, I’ll stare at the wall or something. Almost any option is better than watching the SOTU.

    Goodspeed to The Root writers who have to deal with that bullshit.

    This is my drinking game. I am a white person, so it may be slightly different.

    Trump is president: drink.

    Repeat until conditions change.

    (HuskyBro: the SOTU sounds like an excellent reason for me to start watching Black Lightning, now that I am caught up on Agents of SHIELD. Thanks for reminding me!)

      Do it. Flash has been Trash since the mid-season break, but Black Lightning has been a great reason to tune in on Tues night.

      Well, you know, it might be.

      Because ICE isn’t going to show up and steal your blue passport and put you in a private prison disguised as an “immigration detention center” so IQ45 and Racist Sessions can make money (which for my life I still don’t understand how that’s not illegal, especially given recent developments as evidence of corrupt intent).

      So some of us can’t stay drunk, because we know we might have to run for our lives at some point.

    I ain’t watching this shit.

    There’s so much better shit to watch, y’all. Don’t do this to yourselves, and don’t listen to post speech coverage where Trump is given credit for stringing two sentences together without screaming “NIGGER!”.

    Did y’all know “Psych” is on Amazon Prime now? Or that you can watch Catfish on Hulu? Use this time to Hate Binge Watch Fuller House, or go out for a nice dinner with family.

    Don’t give this fucker anymore of your life energy than he’s already taken.

      Watch Full House/ Reading the Full House Reviewed blog is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. God was that a dumb show (and the blog is fucking hilarious).

      Why woud anyone watch the SOTU when they could watch Black Lightning? I know it won’t happen but I wish Black Lightning would somehow outrank the SOTU in TV viewership so we can laugh at Trump losing to a fictional black man. It would also do wonders for Black Lightnings profile if Trump starred hate tweeting about the show.

    Just wait until afterwards. I bet he mostly stays on script, they’ll bribe him with KFC and 3 Big Macs. And while it’ll still be a garbage speech and he’ll say moronic things that make no sense at all, the major networks (CNN, NBC, ABC) will bring in their “He’s becoming PRESIDENTIAL” bullshit. That will be the point I want to hurt other people (I don’t actually want to hurt other people, cops, please don’t show up at my door with toy guns to drop).

    If you’re like me, it’s hard to watch a man who looks like a microwaved circus peanut stand in front of a microphone and string together lies for an hour. It has been a decade since we last heard a white State of The Union so you’re probably going to need something to help you get through the pimp Don “Magic” Con’s address to the nation

     

    We’re not to be doing any of that, though. We’re going to be watching Auntie Maxine.
