Scowling At The State Of Our Union (Antichrist Superstar, Four.)

It was right here, in the waters around us, where the American experiment began. As the earliest settlers arrived on the shores of Boston and Salem and Plymouth, they dreamed of building a City upon a Hill. And the world watched, waiting to see if this improbable idea called America would succeed. More than half of you represent the very first member of your family to ever attend college. In the most diverse university in all of New England, I look out at a sea of faces that are African-American and Hispanic-American and Asian-American and Arab-American. I see students that have come here from over 100 different countries, believing like those first settlers that they too could find a home in this City on a Hill—that they too could find success in this unlikeliest of places. ~Barack Obama

So, it's the State of the Union address tonight.

I've been...unimpressed...with the Republican dog and pony show leading up to it.

I can remember when they had JC Watts do the Republican response and he gave damn near as good of a speech as Bill Clinton did. Now they're putting up...Sarah Huckabee Sanders?? 

I mean, seriously, what the fuck?

And I can't help but notice Kevin McCarthy sitting there, behind Biden, literally scowling at the State Of The Union.

Seriously, fuck that guy. 

Liz Truss his ass, he's already been there too long. The head of lettuce would've been a better Speaker of the House.

Oh, and out front Mitch McConnell is doing basically the same shit. Well fuck you, Yertle, and the Galapagos Tortoise you rode in to work tonight.

Elsewhere, Blowbert, Gaetz and Lyin' George Santos can be seen doing pretty much the same bullshit.

Oh, wait, here's the current (and likely outgoing) Republican Jesus talking shit, too.

Goddamn, but I'm sick of these fucking people. I'm tired of these stupid, overgrown children who cheat and lie their way into our government for no better purpose than their own pleasure, power and wealth.

I have questions; Like if you fuckers don't believe in or like the government, what the hell are you doing in it? Why not go get better paying, real jobs in the private sector, like you say God intended? (Unless you fuckers all know you could never keep a real damn job?)

Seriously if I'd acted like these Republicans are acting when I was a kid, it would have likely got me a pants-down spanking in the middle of the grocery store. 

The Republicans literally think it's beneath them to do their jobs.

The truth is, these fuckers don't want to be leaders.

Especially not in a democratic nation where they have to answer to the People.

They want to grift off of idiots and get famous. They have no desire to be a functioning legislative body in a democratic, free nation.

They'd rather be the equivalent of the Russian Duma but with more corruption and stupid rat-fuck games and less work, all while somebody else does all the work.

If you want a better country, you have to be better citizens. You have to elect better people to office and hold them to standards.

And this ain't it, yo.

Слава Україна!

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan
