8:18: Hair is looking’ good tonight, y’all! But where’s The Hat? I demand a close up! (SugarFree)

8:19: HOLY SHIT! This just became “Questions to the Prime Minister”! (HM)

8:19: Who could complain about the lobbying rules? Team Blue, I guess. (sloopy)

8:19: He’s really angling for that Union vote. Clinton shouldn’t have taken them for granted. (sloopy)

8:23: I had no idea I was living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland! (HM)

8:29: Doesn’t look like even the Dems that voted to confirm Gorsuch the last time can get off their hands.  Hypocrisy? Or are they lamenting their rubber-stamping some years ago? (sloopy)

8:30 American juche is awesome! Maybe we can get 2 hot Asian chicks to smear VX nerve agent on Trump’s brother-in-law. (HM)

8:35: Two kids are diaper-less and the third has just walked in with an entire chocolate cake in her hands. Shit. (sloopy)

8:39: REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE with something closer to the free market.  Yes, please! (sloopy)

8:43: “Across state lines.”  About time that got corrected. (sloopy)

8:46: Jesus, fiscally liberal and socially conservative is the worst of both worlds! (HM)

8:48: Wait, so Team Blue likes the arduous FDA approval process that keeps drugs from market that could save lives?  Seriously, what the fuck? (sloopy)

8:49: SCHOOL CHOICE!!!!! (sloopy)

8:50: *sigh* No one gives a shit about normal people, Donald. (HM)

8:53: What gets both Republicans and Democrats on their feet? Cop-fellating. (HM)

8:55: He’s gone 55 minutes without saying we need to bomb a specific nation off the face of the earth.  Is that a record for a President? (sloopy)

8:56: Aaaaaaand as soon as I say that he talks about pissing a fortune away on military expenditures. (sloopy)

8:59: Amending HM’s comment from 8:53…and Soldier-fellating.  (sloopy)

9:04: Somehow Chuck Shumer manages to look worse than normal, like a melted wax figure of himself. (SugarFree)

9:07: Holy shit. Trigger Warning, please. You can’t just flip over to Pelosi like that.

9:13: An entire presidential speech that didn’t ask for support in bombing another sovereign nation.  That’s got to be a first so far as I can remember. (sloopy)
