A still gathers over the chamber as an anticipatory energy forms.
#StateofTheUnion
#SmershTV, a pinnable hashtag.
With McCarthy calling for POTUS to called into the chamber, here we end the #DelawareFacts #SmershTV pre-show.
Delaware does make up for it's questionable choice of state bird with it's picks for State Bug, State Dog & State Fruit.
In order of author's preference, I present a so-called ladybug, golden retrievers and strawberries! 🍓
One of the most effective gimmicks Fox uses is changing the subject every 5ish minutes. Rant, rave and throw out speculative "facts", then pivot and rant about something else.
No deep discussions. No unpacking. Just outrage.
Other channels & programs use it too but not nearly to the skill level of Fox.
Wolf Blitzer trying to get the audience at home excited as the senators walk into the chamber by referring to it as a "Historic moment". As if it isn't written into the constitution, done every year and includes the same players as last year.
With a chicken as their state bird, Delaware's flag is probably no surprise. Thankfully, a ship was included so as not to confuse it with Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa, South Dakota or maybe even North Dakota.
That would be awkward!
With Delaware being such an exciting state, standing out within the Atlantic Seaboard, you would think their official state bird would be a badass. You might be surprised, one way or another, as it's the Blue Hen Chicken!
As CSPAN is not giving us CongressPeople watching quite yet, it's time for more #DelawareFacts sponsored by #SmershTV !
Pea Patch Island was named because some peas floated over to it and sprouted. In the most American of ways, a fort was built on it - Fort Delaware.
How original.
Speaking on our "wide open borders": "It does not matter if they are good people or bad people. They are strangers, and we cannot accommodate strangers."
GD Tucker. Did you lose your mask?
Speaking of weird words like Delaware, talking about the US Flag and it's ties to companies is a flimsy segue into talking about CORPORATIONS.
Delaware has a few of them. In fact, 2/3s of the Fortune 500 is incorporated in Delaware!
Rumor has it that the first US Flag was flown in Delaware during the Battle of Cooch's Bridge. The rebels didn't not get a W that day.
(For new #SmershTV followers, there's a deep, deep, deep cut about the US flag and how we should retire it.)
You might wonder why I, a lowly mouse controlling an animated man's face, looks down upon the state of Delaware. Well, if you've clicked on my profile you may have noted that my vantage point in the Mile High is quite a bit above that of Delaware -- as it has the lowest mean elevation of The States at 450 feet.
Tack some zeroes on to that and then divide it by three and THEN we'll see eye-to-eye, Delaware.
Despite it's pitiful coastline, Delaware is home to the largest population of horseshoe crabs in the world. Which is pretty convenient if you're one of the many medical companies registered as a business within the state.
Supposedly these little critters are eons older than dinosaurs. *insert joke about age of US Presidents before publishing*
Thomas Jefferson may have called Delaware a jewel of the east. With the 22nd longest coast line of all US states, it's easy to see why.
It sure puts New Hampshire to shame!
Delaware didn't exist until the Dutch discovered it in 1631. There's some debate about what existed before 1631 but most agree that there was likely some dirt, plants and animals.
The state is so unpopulated that it only has 3 counties in it!
Honestly, that's a luxury of riches and we should pare that down. So let's decide which of the 3 counties should be eliminated.
Wilmington, somehow the largest city in the state of Delaware with a population of only 70,000 people, was once home of Bob Marley. Whom I am told is a famous musician.
(Seriously, 70k!? There are census designated places west of the Mississippi with more people!)
Delaware the name itself is weird.
Probably because the state was named after a bay which was named after a guy whose name was Anglo-French. Terrible things happen when the English and French get together.
Who can trust peoples who decide to build a tunnel underneath a shitton of water?!
Fox News is predictably rolling the Corn Pop greatest hits ahead of the SotU.
T-60 until POTUS gathers 538ish of his closest friends for the #StateofTheUnion
