Tomorrow's Show Trump likes to talk. His speech to the joint session of Congress went well over two hours completely screwing up primetime TV. It seems as if the presentation was carefully designed to humiliate the Democrats who were told not to clap at anything so when the Republicans did a standing ovation for “motherhood,” “the American way.” or “cute puppies” they sat on their hands. A few of them, like Adam Schiff, wouldn't even move. Nancy Pelosi looked like a grouchy old woman chewing on cud. It was quite funny. A good portion of the Democrat women also wore some odd pink outfits and many had small round signs they held up that variously said “False,” “Save Veterans” and “Musk Steals.” It made no sense and was kind of lame. So Trump grabbed over 2 hours of prime time TV for free on all the networks and cable news networks plus PBS. It was a master stroke of publicity for the administration. And as long as the networks feel obliged to play along he will do these TV events. This means you can expect them randomly as well as for the State-of-the-Union and other normal speeches. This is all keyed on getting past the mid-terms without losing the House or the Senate to the Democrats. If the Democrats can recapture the House then they will immediately impeach Trump and things will grind to a halt and any progress towards normality will end. Luckily their support for men in women's sports is among the positions they decided to defend (and transgenderism, sexual mutilation, DEI and war) for some philosophical reason and this alone should prevent their getting back into power until they can figure out how to rebuke their own philosophies. While the border issues and the economy are top of mind as reasons for supporting Republicans, do not think for a minute that these social issues are not the real issues flipping the vote. |
