Bill Maher\u2019s latest \u201cReal Time\u201d clip argues that we should get rid of the State of the Union Address (coming up Tuesday), at least under Trump. That\u2019s because to Maher it\u2019s ludicrous that Trump keeps appropriating the powers of Congress for himself, violating our Constitutional separation of powers. The speech has become, says Maher, not a summary of how we\u2019re doing, but a series of future Diktats. Congress seems to have become superfluous: a \u201csupporting actor.\u201d In fact, Jefferson didn\u2019t even favor the President speaking to Congress in this way.<\/p>\n
Look at these guests: U.S. Representative\u00a0Lauren Boebert<\/a>\u00a0(R-CO) and Texas State Representative\u00a0James Talarico<\/a> (D-TX). Boebert looks like she\u2019s been spending some time in a tanning bed.<\/p>\n As Maher says, the real state of the Union is \u201chopelessly divided.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bill Maher\u2019s latest \u201cReal Time\u201d clip argues that we should get rid of the State of the Union…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493407,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,75,348],"class_list":["post-493406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
