You didn't think that there was any part of the SOTU that deserved at least a golf clap?

To be fair, on that second one, it's customary for the Joint Chiefs as well as SCOTUS to sit poker-faced through any remarks that are interpreted as overtly political.

In a theoretical vacuum, sure, but in that context it seems more like blatantly patronizing than actually celebrating something that would be laudable on its own.

Yeah, it might be patronizing, but when the President says that economic growth is at 3% and unemployment is down, you look like a partisan hack by not even acknowledging that it is good for America.

Except when you know Trump is taking credit for a trend that stated under Obama and, in any case, it's rare for the president to have a direct effect on the economy despite what many have claimed.
