Funniest comment on #SOTU, I think, was from Factbase of Roll Call: Trump's 1 hr 47 min speech was exactly the length of Alfred Hitchcock's classic film "Psycho".

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

The Letter to the Editor that the Baltimore Sun won't publish:

NEW: Forecaster who has predicted almost every election since 1984, says Kamala Harris will likely win the election in November. Allan Lichtman, who correctly predicted Trump would win in 2016 & Biden in 2020, says his forecasts point to a Harris win. Lichtman uses '13 keys' to make his predictions: The "keys" are: – party mandate – contest – incumbency – third party – short-term economy – long-term economy – policy change, – social unrest – scandal – foreign/military failure – foreign/military success – incumbent charisma – challenger charisma As of now, Harris has 6 keys and Trump only has 3. Lichtman still has four keys to hand out but Harris is already at 6 meaning, in his own words, "a lot would have to go wrong for Democrats to lose." Lichtman is waiting until the DNC to make his final prediction.

I am watching the Democratic Party self destruct and enabling Donald Trump and the demise of our democracy.

Quite the read.
