State of the Union

I didn't catch either one. From my FB feed it seems like the one given by the second coming of Lincoln was pretty damn good but the Muslim terrorist who gave the other speech about taking our guns and our freedom needs to hire a new speech writer.
Very proud to say the Lightning beat Colorado 4-0 and I watched ZERO seconds of the state of the Union.
Can anyone tell me why this spectacle exists in a country that supposedly is a Republic with 3 separate, equal branches of government?
This has nothing to do with which party is in power. It's just awkward and perverse to watch Congressmen, supposedly elected representatives of the people, fawning over a man in another branch of government that has the exact same amount of power in this country. They all sit there like people waiting for Beber, there is a grand proclamation that the President has arrived, and they all must sit and stare in religious reverence while he pontificates to them.
What's worse is that the Supreme Court justices sit there just the same. There to receive their Sermon from the Almighty Executive Branch.
For over 100 years, US Presidents simply wrote to Congress to inform them of what the Executive's priorities were. Washington had to do a speech in front of congress, but Jefferson stopped doing it since he too found it to be perverse and it stayed that way until the Power Monger Woodrow Wilson brought it back, in order for him to pontificate his positions to Congress in a grand speech.

Didn't watch. I assume he bashed the NRA, called all gun owners murderous terrorists, said white people need to acknowledge their privilege and went on a rant about the Koch brothers?
He acknowledged that he was the most polarizing, divisive president in the history of the US and that he regretted it.
Was busy watching the actual news of the night, the Rams moving to LA
