1. I want the SOTU to last for as long as Trmp thinks necessary. Let the networks cut him off.

Friday

As people head into bars in the evening, they'll either see the PEDOTUS still ranting on the TV, or hear talking heads commenting on "well, the President is still threatening to bomb NATO". Even if they've got a game to broadcast, they'll probably feature Commander Demento in a picture-in-picture view. A lot of Americans don't pay much attention to the news, but if this guy is still gibbering at 11PM EST a lot of people are going to suddenly notice it's time to have a Family Meeting About Grandpa.
