State of Stupidity

America’s dumbest tradition deserves to die

The State of the Union address is going on as I write this.

I, like most people, hate the State of the Union, but I watch it. Every. Year. Why? Because I’m a masochist.

Here’s why it’s stupid:

1. Historically, it has no bearing on what gets passed.

2. It’s this show of political theater that inspires nobody and alienates everyone.

3. Suddenly every lawmaker in America acts like a child. Even Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, who, like them or not, are generally acknowledged to be great politicians and masterful tacticians, look like Mike Lee, Marjory Taylor Greene, and the other clowns in congress.

4. It’s a bastardization of what could actually be a helpful clause in the constitution: “He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union”

To the President who puts it out of its misery and does what the constitution says, I’ll donate every spare dollar I have.

I will say this about tonight’s state of the Union:

1. It was very stupid

2. Joe looked good tonight.

3. It was so stupid

4. The speech was probably one of the best SOTUs I’ve seen because it met the moment, he didn’t try to suggest everything is awesome and was more bipartisan than usual.

5. Just the absolute dumbest

6. We are Ukraine

That’s all.
