Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

The State of the Union took place last night, and apparently it was the longest in history. Hardly surprising. I didn’t watch it because ~~fuck that guy~~ I don’t need to waste three hours of my life being gaslit, but I’m pretty sure this is an excellent recap of what went down.

I do want to give props to Texas — HOUSTON — representative Al Green for once again protesting that racist asshole without even mentioning his name. All Representative Green did was hold up a sign that read “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES,” and the Republicans threw him out of the chamber. What’s the old expression again? Hit dogs will holler?

Here’s a Melania producer whining that musicians refused to allow them to use their music: “She apparently couldn’t get over the political hurdle, notwithstanding the fact that the film is not a political film.” BITCH, IT IS A FLUFF DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE FIRST LADY TO THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME, PAID FOR BY A BILLIONAIRE OLIGARCH DESPERATE TO REMAIN IN THE PRESIDENT’S GOOD GRACES, OF COURSE IT’S POLITICAL.
