Colbert and Kimmel react to the State of the Union Address

My wife and I didn't watch the State of the Union Address last night, but thankfully Stephen Colbert, his writers, and studio audience did so we wouldn't have to. The result was Stephen's LIVE Monologue: Rep. Al Green Tossed Out For Interrupting Trump | Useful Lies & Useless Idiots.

Stephen Colbert delivers his LIVE monologue following President Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress, where Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green was thrown out for shouting down the President, and each of Trump's lies was met with cheers from the Republican side of the aisle.
Yes, Hoover Cleveland could say something that would make the Democrats cheer, "I resign." Too bad he almost certainly won't do that. Speaking of doing something, at least Representative Al Green got himself ejected for civil disobedience. Effective or not, that's more than the rest of the Democrats attending.

Jimmy Kimmel and his writers also watched Hoover Cleveland address the joint session of Congress, which they distilled into Jimmy Kimmel Reacts to Donald Trump’s Address to Congress.

Trump addressed a joint session of Congress, he got quite an intro from the Sergeant at Arms, many of Donald’s closest allies were in attendance, he laid out his agenda for the next four years, Elon was in the house tonight in his official capacity as America’s highest-ranking DOGEbag, a new poll from CNN said 52% of Americans do not approve of the way Trump is handling his job as President, the Dow dropped 1300 points in two days, Trump touted that he has made English the official language of the United States, Democrat Al Greene of Texas got thrown out, there was a second Democratic rebuttal in Spanish from a representative who’s from right here in The Golden State, Justin Trudeau of Canada spoke about America’s new tariffs, SHAQ provided our favorite moment from a parade in New Orleans, and Trump celebrates Women’s History Month.
Jimmy K agreed with Colbert that Hoover Cleveland could quit and that would make Democrats happy. As for what Democrats in Congress and elsewhere could to make their constituents happy, I return to The Late Show for Fmr. Sec. Pete Buttigieg On How Democrats (And Republicans) Can Resist Trump's Authoritarianism.

Former Biden Administration official Pete Buttigieg lays out tactics that Democrats can pursue in defending American democracy and calls on peace-loving conservatives to do the same while there's still time.
Pete Buttigieg as Senator from Michigan to replace Gary Peters — I could get behind that, but it's too early. Besides, it's up to Buttigieg.

I close with the cold open to last night's Late Show, MAGA Maniacs.



They're zany to the max.

LOL, Brainworm.

I might have more about the State of the Union tomorrow, as I expect Seth Meyers and The Daily Show will chime in. Stay tuned.
