All-purpose news and politics thread: Two Steps Beyond!

[JCAll]

It's more than just this board. I've received several e-mails over the last two days urging me to not watch, if for no other reason just to piss off Trump. For what it's worth, I will be watching Black Lightning tonight.

I think I'll dig into my anime backlog. I've been meaning to watch Kill la Kill, maybe Studio Trigger will keep the bad thought away.
If nothing else, mindless comic violence will at least placate me for another day.

It's a fun series. I've discovered Seakano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend and am watching it with my wife.

I've taken to reading the state of the union and listening after the Clinton marathons.

Going to bed early. Will catch the recap on the news tomorrow.

Jezebel.com live blogs can dull the blow.

Well, while giving his introduction Paul Ryan almost said he "has the distinct honor of PREVENTING the President of the United States". Oops.

Kill la Kill is a wild ride, have fun. I’m watching hockey as Chicago and Nashville are tied at one halfway through the second period.

My mom's disappointed. Shortly before the state of the Union, she turned on the TV, saw the text "Trump leaves White House" and watched live footage of serious faced people in suits surrounding limos. For about ten seconds, she thought he had resigned, before she realized he was just heading to the capitol.

Cheated on "Don't Give Him Ratings...", and listened to a bit on AM radio coming back home from some drudge work. The only interesting things I caught were...

- Give Americans with terminal disease access to treatments that haven't been approved.
- Cutting prescription drug prices.
- Paid work leave.
- Helping former prisoners transition to life back in society.

NPR typically has a good one.

The fact checkers are in overdrive tonight!

My intense dislike for the man notwithstanding, Trump looks awful. I know the Presidency is one of those jobs that ages its holder quickly due to stress, but Trump looks like he's been in the office for ten years instead of one.

Your mom is strong, I probably would have openly wept if that had happened to me.

It FEELS like it's been ten years.
