Sour doesn’t sell on the hi-def screen!
We bribed the orderly to allow us to stay up late and watch The Trump Show starring Jim Carrey Tuesday night 03-04-25 on the Manor’s b&w Philco. Not since the shoot-out at the Oval Office last Friday have we enjoyed such political bread and circus! Tuesday’s State of Disunion address had it all!
The Nielsen ratings aren’t in yet for the President’s Siegfried and Roy act but we’re guessing his numbers challenge the Oscar telecast. Like the Man said after roughing up the president of Ukraine: Must Watch TV!
We admit a certain weakness for trolling and no one trolls better than the Re-Maker of American Greatness. Was it really necessary to rub the Democrats’ nose in their electoral shutout? Dance on Joe Biden’s grave? Refer to You Know Whom as “Pocahontas”? No, but the man eats liver with a side of fava beans, hold the nice chianti.
Advised Democrats to quit using the courts to prosecute political enemies. Like him. Arrayed in front of his platform were Bobby Jr., Tulsi, and Kash; his hand-picked Supreme Court; Pete Hegseth’s non-DEI military brass; and Republican House and Senate majorities: “How did that work out?” Trump inquired.
Is the hissy fit working?
Democrats, led by Madison WI’s own Mark Pocan, D-Hamas, need a new brand new bag. Quit trying to sell guilt in old bottles. Another angry black man shouting victimhood is so MSNBC! At least old Al Green (D-PTSD) didn’t cry, as he was hustled out of the chambers, “I can’t breathe.”
The olympics judges give more points to those re-purposed auction paddles that Pocan’s progressives raised to indicate dissent. Downside: easily parodied (as shown above).
After the trolling, the MAGA Man achieved lift-off. Read a letter of apology from Zelensky. Taiwan is making chips in the U.S. Gonna dig for Tesla powder in Greenland. Captured the Abbey Gate terror leader. It’s All Quiet on the Southern Border. No more Laken Rileys. (Which every WI Democrat voted against protecting!) The victor of November 5 gave shade to the compromise immigration bill he scuttled last term. “All we really needed was a new president.”
Harden not your hearts
Like Carly Simon sang, nobody does gallery shout-outs better. Demonstrating the power of an active presidency, he introduced the Russian prisoner freed after the man’s 95-year-old mother pleaded his case moments before Trump was shot at his Butler PA rally. Promised & Delivered!
• Stand up, mother of the victim of illegal immigrants. We’re naming some conservation land outside Houston TX in her honor.
• Stand up, high school athlete. Your ambition to be admitted to West Point military academy just became reality.
• Stand up, 13 year old black boy battling cancer and dreaming of a career in law enforcement. This Secret Service agent will invest you on the spot.
Democrats, so compassionate in the abstract, sat on their hands.
We admit, it’s mean-spirited. But the pool camera alighted briefly on Rep. Rosa de Laura (D-OZ), then pivoted elsewhere, quickly and mercifully. We’ll steal this from Our (former) Miss Vicki: The woman “looks like she wants to cook children.”
Four years ago, the Speaker of the House ripped to shreds the hard copy of the presidential address. This time, cutaway shots showed Nancy Pelosi furiously chewing her cud from the benches.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Politics is performance, much of it. But Democrats came across as surly and sour. Contra what Lindsay Graham supposedly told Zelensky, They Took the Bait.

Yeah, replace the Chianti with some ketchup and Trump would chow down….
with his Big Mac?
In my opinion; the President Trump’s State of the Union speech was a really big win for President Trump and a huge loss for Washington DC Democrats who displayed that they’re a juvenile bunch of morally bankrupt, disrespectful, pieces of crap, partisan hacks.
Really wanted President Trump to shout, “Are you not entertained!?!” when it was over.
At this rate, Trump’s States of the Union will be pay per view.
But but but, Rosa does look exactly like that. One can’t always dictate what one looks like, genetics and tough roads, etc., but now she is destined to become a meme in the cruelest of ways. If only she had thought to smile for the cameras, I know I’d love her bettah!
You are a Steely Dame!
Progressive Democrats are the gift that keeps on giving! What a bunch of turds
The only reason Al Green didn’t shout “I can’t breathe” is because he forgot his line at the crucial moment. Every time the camera panned to the stone-faced Democrats holding up their little paddles like extras in a grade-school skit, I found myself thinking “How do you parody a parody?” (Though I must admit the Squire does a decent job of it.)
Here’s a grimly funny top 5 list of how Democrats might claw back likability after their meltdown at Trump’s congressional address:
The Public Flogging – Broadcast live self-flagellation sessions, with Chuck Schumer in a hair shirt muttering, “We’re sorry we clapped like sulky toddlers,” while ratings soar.
The Hostage Video – Release a shaky cam apology featuring Nancy Pelosi blinking “SAVE US” in Morse code, claiming they were possessed by “Russian vibes” during the speech.
The Bribe-a-Tron 3000 – Roll out a mobile ATM dispensing “forgiveness bucks” to voters, with a grinning Kamala Harris chirping, “Cash cures all, right, fam?”
The Fake Epiphany – Stage a group “come to Jesus” moment, with AOC sobbing, “Trump’s golden hair showed me the light!”—followed by a suspiciously timed book deal.
The Ritual Sacrifice – Offer up a symbolic Dem lamb—say, Ilhan Omar in a Viking funeral boat—set ablaze on the Potomac with a banner reading, “We’re chill now, promise!”
Macabre, twisted, and dripping with cynicism—just the way the political swamp likes it.
They’ve come across as entitled whiners for a long time.
That was the ultimate go get your shinebox moment. Did he need to do that, i believe yes, yes he did need to call them out. Now go get your effin shinebox!
