Bill Maher: ‘Let’s Get Rid of the State of the Union Address’; ‘Stupid, Boring, Performative After-Dinner Speech from Hell’

MAHER: “And finally, new rule. Since the State of the Union address is next Tuesday, let’s get rid of the State of the Union address before Tuesday. And here’s why. Nothing has misled the American people to the warped belief that the president can act like a king more than this stupid, boring, performative afterdinner speech from hell where the sergeant-at-arms announces the president like he’s a king. >> Mr. Speaker, the president of the United States >> and he walks into the room like Conor McGregor heading into the octagon. With members of Congress lining the aisle like medieval peasants hoping to touch the royal garments and then he proceeds to tell Congress what he wants them to do making it look like the president is in charge of everything and it’s he who sets the agenda but that’s not what it says in the operating manual you know the Constitution article One, section one.”
