Ok, so here we go… Trump’s new joint address to Congress.

Here’s how to watch:

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/04/donald-trump-congress-speech-how-to-watch-024384

“Trump’s address to Congress will begin Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET. The speech will be broadcast on major television networks and available to stream on certain websites, including POLITICO.”

So 6 PM Pacific Time.

Worth noting that like Biden’s address to Congress in 2021, this isn’t TECHNICALLY a “State of the Union” address, although it has a lot of the trappings of a State of the Union.

Typically the first address from a new President to Congress isn’t called a “State of the Union.”

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/why-trumps-joint-remarks-to-congress-wont-be-a-state-of-the-union-address

“According to the American Presidency Project, the impacts of these first-year speeches should be considered to have the same heft as the State of the Union addresses that follow in subsequent years. And, just like the State of the Union address, the opposing party to the one that occupies the White House gives a brief speech in response, which, like the president’s remarks, is televised. This year’s will be delivered by Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan.”

    Pass. Not giving it any ratings and I will wait for the coherent summary without the faff. Besides, no matter what the jackass does, there’s nothing I can immediately do in reaction to it.

    Seriously?

    One one democrat (Al Green) stood up for truth tonight?

    The rest of them sat like sacks of shit holding paddles, lol.

    Fucking weak leadership who cares more about the decorum than the fight.

      I’ll pass on listening to the Cheeto Musolini speech. I’d rather preserve my sanity/time by reading the news afterwards instead of listening to him ramble.

      I’m tempted to just wait on the transcript, but so many of Trump’s transcripts are whitewashed to make him seem more rational than he is.

    I’m tempted to watch but it’ll probably be 90 minutes of him rambling.

    Nope. Not watching. I’d rather drag razor blades between my toes. Rub sandpaper on my tongue. Give myself paper cuts on my eyelids. Watch videos consisting entirely of nails on chalkboards.

    Anyone got bingo cards? I’m putting a Putin to visit White House on mine along with Andrew Tate gets a government position - maybe alongside Elona. There’s also the McDonald’s Hamderber becoming the National Food

    Anyone got any others to fill out my card?

    Outside of that, I got my bullshit meter ready. Trying to prep for the Thirty Days of the Best Achievements the world has ever seen and how he alone saved countries at war. Then Elona will talk about the billions of dollars saved while his kid wipes buggers on Trump’s face.

    No substance to Trump’s speech was just hating on Trans people and bragging about cutting government programs. If that speech didn’t show you how unfit he is, I don’t know what will at this point.

    He shouldn’t have been able to run for President again. MAGA is literally getting cucked this whole run for this admin and they can’t bring themselves to admit it.
