Barry, we will only fix it if we run YOU out of town.

I don’t need you to hold my hand and stick a gun to my head.

[topfile]

What would be Trump?

How about WWTD?

[Will88]

I cannot believe what I am hearing.

Have him on mute. Can't bear to listen. He looks like he's high on something, jerking around and snapping his words so much.

[Clint N. Suhks]

I can’t believe all the twits tweeting in the audience...

[Red in Blue PA]

Never his fault donacha know.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Is Ruth Batty asleep?

There was a shot of her... head drooping forward, her jaws working. Not asleep, but struggling. And, she's a big fan.

[Red in Blue PA]

Any word yet about the 10 sailors being held by Iran?/s

[TornadoAlley3]

Why cant you all just get along. Ignore your base, do what I say.

[Williams]

He sounds like an absolute fool because his rhetoric is divorced from reality. I think the whole room gave up on him.He is finishing with- it’s not about me now let’s talk about me.

This is his Captain Queeg moment.

[FourPeas]

One of the few times when being deaf is a blessing: reading rather than listening to Barry

[Yaelle]

He is saying congress wants to do what he wants but they are trapped by you idiot voters who won’t stay in your chains.

[Girlene]

The one regret is that there is so much partisanship!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Someone call in a drone strike

[RummyChick]

Noise coming from your base????That is who you represent..

[matt04]

I just started watching. It is bad. Really bad. He is incoherent and just rambling on a half a dozen topics it seems.

[Tennessee Nana]

“they don’t matter...

too many Americans feel that way...

due to my presidency...”

I swear he said that...

[Patriot Babe]

Just like this one:

If this speech was at the Apollo, the Sandman would have swept this guy off-stage already. #SOTU

[LittleSpotBlog]

Many thanks for the Cliff notes version! Even the five minutes I’ve watched so far have been pretty intolerable, even more so than usual.

[relee]

you can unmute now, It sounds like he’s almost done!

[KosmicKitty]

Like he ever listened to someone with a “diverse” option. What a poopy head!!
