If the Dems can't figure out how to pop a balloon at the most appropriate moment, maybe they deserve to be in the minority.

Heck, Biden aught to pop it while exclaiming he's clearing America's airspace of another foreign asset.

I understand not all of inflation rests on Biden's shoulders. However, the average American doesnt see it that way. Bottom line is, its more expensive to buy food, pay utilities, and rent, and Biden will take the brunt of that. Period. Fair or unfair, it is what it is.

But we can still hope for smarter people with just even basic deduction and reason skills, and a political party that doesn't lie about every damn thing possible. The latter seems impossible for the GQP though and the majority of their base.

I wonder if he'll mention lost jobs in March 2020 was 20 million, and as the economy recovered, jobs were recovered. Hardly creation. Trump added 12.5 million jobs in 9 months (not recovered jobs) but I doubt he'll mention that.

I wonder if he'll repeat the lie inflation was out of control when he took office (annual inflation was 1.4 percent)?

You know as well as I the inflation boulder was already rolling downhill when Biden took office.

You are right the annual inflation rate by month was 1.4 % Jan 2021 but that number grew to 5% by May. Biden hadn’t had the chance to do anything to effect inflation so it would have happened anyway.

In a sense he was right

Biden should demand ethics rules/laws apply to ALL branches of govt that includes the Supreme Court.

Why should they be the only exempt branch!

Biden wants to talk about jobs, fiscal responsibility, manufacturing, and leading on the international stage.

The GOP is interested in you and your kids genitals and banning kids school books.

Biden is doing a good job of keeping things positive while at the same time schooling boisterous republicans.

Biden just boxed Republicans in a corner. He said some Pubs want to cut SS security and Medicare. Pubs shouted LIAR! (MTG and the banshee caucus)

Biden comes back with “ ok then we are in agreement no cuts to SS and Medicare”

He's proven himself as still competent. That goes a long way when the opposition party consists, in the main, of traitors, bigots and whores.

Biden is one of those old school east coast Catholics. Probably was in a silent gang at some point.


What's this about Harri's hubby and Biden's wife kissing?

I see KMC isn’t into equal protection under the law. Sat on his hands

Biden did a damn good job with this SOTU

The only flub I recall was saying we will need oil companies for another 10 years. It’s a bit longer then that.
