I will not be watching it, it pisses me off that he is fucking up my primetime tv viewing. After the shows went into their Christmas break, I was looking for forward to my primetime tv shows returning...fuck this man. Besides, I have only watched 1 primetime presidential bullshit speech in the last 30 years, and that was W after 911.
I actually NEVER watch Trump on TV. I specifically avoid his stupid "press conferences" and the state of the union, etc etc etc. It's not usually out of spite (tonight will be, but also because of my usual reason). It's out of the fact that I just can't fucking tolerate him. He is SO irritating and off-putting and ridiculous and disgusting and stupid, that I just can't take it. Even if I try to watch that shit, I have to turn it off within a couple of minutes. It is much more tolerable to just find out what idiotic shit he spewed later than to actually experience the madness. I just can't stand to have him invade my mind that directly.
Stick to your principles. Watch Netflix. I just can't stand the man...
I'll be watching Netflix. He will be saying nothing we haven't heard.
I keep saying this......but this is different than a dumb rally, though. No reason to watch those.
Could be a watershed moment for this country depending on how the networks treat it.....

I hope nobody is planning on tuning into this speech tonight. I hope everyone remembers that low ratings will be the strongest message he can actually understand. I hope Netflix has the highest viewership in their history tonight during this stupid speech, lol.
I’ll probably watch it. Not sure though. I’d really rather here him speak than read it later. Need to see just how delusional he is. But I do understand your point about ratings.
You can watch it online after the fact. Don't give him or the networks the satisfaction!
It wouldn't matter if it didn't even air on television. He would still boast about how it was "the most watched Presidential address ever. Tremendous ratings, all the people are talking and agree with me."

I guess. I just don't think the ratings issue is a big deal for this one. It will be huge either way because it's on all the channels. More important things to worry about though.

I actually have a sad over this.
Since college, I've made it a ritual to listen to the State of the Union. Feel like it's my duty as a citizen. Usually I make a nice meal, grab a six-pack and have a night of it.
I can not listen to 5 minutes of tRUmp's voice without feeling nauseous. Everything about it is repugnant. From this shiatty accent to the verbal diarrhea he spews.
I will still read the SOTU hungover the next morning, but it's not the same. Everything tRUmp touches dies.

The allegation is the first time prosecutors have accused Trump’s chief campaign aide of sharing information related to the election with his Russian contacts.

And would anyone like to guess what that internal polling data revealed? And would anyone else like to guess which states might have been involved? Anyone heard about Cambridge Analytica lately? Anyone want to argue the impact of social media campaigns? 66,000 votes in three key electoral states. NRA, RNC, individual repub members of Congress. 6 month Team Mueller grand jury extension. Bigger than Watergate.
"News outlets are actually worried about giving Trump a prime time spot as they are afraid that he will manipulate the people or blur the truth." As told by NPR today.
I remember that when any president talked there was a complete rebuttal by another party after the president would speak so, how is this different unless that nothing but lies come flying out of Trumps mouth?

That's usually only for State of the Union addresses.

Pelosi and Schumer will be giving a Democratic rebuttal (fact check) after Trump's address tonight. They asked the networks and it was deemed that the equal time 'clause' was warranted.

I know. He was asking if it's normal to have a rebuttal. Usually rebuttals are for SOTU's

It would have been so great if Obama gave the rebuttal. I feel like he has to break the tradition and get involved.
U.S.
President Donald Trump speaks in the Rose Garden of the White House on
January 4, 2019 in Washington, DC. (Alex Wong / Getty Images)
High-rollers have an opportunity to put their money where the President’s mouth is Tuesday night.
BookMaker,
an offshore gambling house that claims 30 years in the business, is
laying odds on how many times President Trump will lie when he addresses
the nation at 9 p.m.
Trump
is expected to make his case about building a wall along the U.S.
border with Mexico. The Federal Government has been under a partial
shutdown since Dec. 22 while the President and congress have stood firm
on opposite sides of the wall funding debate.
“We
tend to post these odds for entertainment purposes, however, as a part
of a larger trend in interest in political props that we have have been
experiencing since the current administration has taken office, we are
seeing unexpected volume on such a short term basis,” according to John
Lester, who sets odds at the Costa Rica-based gambling site. “We have
received over $100,000 in action on this wager in the first 12 hours
alone.”
Online
gamblers can place up to $500 per bet on how many “false statements”
Trump will make by logging onto BookMaker.Eu, where the over-under is
3.5. That means bettors who believe the President to be a man of
integrity can win money by wagering the Trump makes fewer than three and
a half statements that are demonstrably untrue. Skeptics who want a
piece of the action — which represents an overwhelming majority of
BookMaker’s clients so far — can claim a cash prize by betting the
President makes more than that number of false claims.
“The
action tends to be predominantly one-sided with 90% of the action
currently on ‘over 3.5’ false statements,” according to Lester. His
company will use the Washington Post Fact Checker as the deciding vote on whether or not statements made by the President are true.
The
Post uses a rating or one to four Pinocchio images to gauge the degree
of fallacies spoken by politicians. Last month, the paper introduced the
“Bottomless Pinocchio” rating to indicate bits of false information
that have been purposefully repeated by politicians who have been given
enough information to know better. That modification was inspired by the
President.
Lester and his colleagues at BookMaker aren’t interested in gambling on Trump’s intentions.
“We
actually chose the phrase ‘false statement’ instead of ‘lie’ to avoid
having to prove that the President is intentionally misleading the
public,” he said.
According to Lester, his company had gambled against Trump in the past and lost big.
“We experienced 7-figure losses when Trump shocked the world and upset Hillary Clinton,” he claimed of the 2016 election.
The
President’s dubious relationship with facts isn’t the only thing
BookMaker is taking action on. Those who bet that Trump will declare a
state emergency on the national border before Jan. 22 will win $450 for
every $1,000 they gamble. Lester is also taking bets on whether the
Supreme Court’s 1973 ruling on Roe v. Wade will be overturned this year,
which party will control the White House after the 2020 election and
when the ongoing government shutdown will end.

That seems like the right choice in this case. He’s addressing the nation on a political issue and making a case. Opponents should have the same opportunity.
Though I’m not sure Nancy and chuck are the right choice.
