A high-stakes State of the Union just got harder for Trump

President Donald Trump didn’t hide it.

It’s a “disgrace,” he said during a breakfast with governors, looking at a note that told him his administration had just suffered a humiliating rebuke at the hands of a conservative Supreme Court, according to a governor who was in the room, granted anonymity to share details of the meeting.

Trump cut his remarks short and walked out of the room with his favorite presidential power and, by extension, his agenda, on a knife’s edge — four days ahead of the most important speech of the year.

The president’s primetime address to Congress on Tuesday was supposed to set the stage for a tough but disciplined midterm campaign focused on the administration’s efforts to lower costs for everyday Americans and tout his first-year accomplishments. Instead, he heads to the Hill amid a torrent of negative news.

and knee John Roberts in the nuts on his way out, the right will say it was the greatest state of the union address by the greatest president of all time. The script at fox is already drafted.

shithole's pattern is the same and again the world will look at the USA as a goner.

We the people must save the USA. We can do it by voting, but the republican is doing their best the sabotage the voting rights. RWers own the voting machines and AI, and the list goes on.

It will take people from all walks of life, all parties, all cultures and religions to defeat them.

And I think we can do it.

but he had a presence of mind to write a more accurate one as well. Procopius.
Let us hope there are a few Procopiae ready to spread the alarm.
