2023 State of the Union - predictions & discussion

[dank69]

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.

Fox will cut it up to make him appear senile. Conservatives and "independents" will accept it uncritically.

Didn't think I was going to watch it, but then got a text about the president owning some mouthy fools, so I turned it on. That was actually some speech, and I like that Team Treason's greek chorus of disrespect kept getting slapped down. I'd like to see a law where if you insult a president with the aim to obstruct an address, Sgt At Arms gets to collect your stupid partisan ass for a stint in a jail cell. Or a stable, if you're a certain shiteating horse faced Monistat addict.

Well done Joe Biden; having a literate, compassionate, intelligent CiC interested in good governance, rather than destroying institutions while being a Russian asset - I could get used to this.

The funny part here is that once again, the guy Republicans have convinced themselves is senile and demented has outsmarted them.

Anyone notice Kevin McCarthy was not wearing a flag pin? Remember the outrage when the negro didn't wear his flag pin? Clearly Kevy is not a patriot.

Obama criticized for not wearing a flag pin.

Definitely, although to be fair Huckabee deserves some credit for comedy too.

A GQP septic pipe in a dress spews how there is no left vs right now, just normal vs crazy. The book burners, history erasers and freeze peach enthusiasts say the GQP didn't start or want a culture war... hahaha

Well, if they were self aware and had even a shred of honesty, they wouldn't be repugs now would they? I found her comments on 'a new generation' and the need for change to be extra hilarious given what America told the GQP in no uncertain terms last Nov.

Biden on point. Fuck the naysayers

'cause they don't mean a thing 'Cause this is what style we bring. Now it's morning but last night's on my mind ...

 

[HomerJS]

This opinion piece had it nailed the day before the SOTU. Dark Brandon engaged the Borg last night
Biden should go full-on Dark Brandon during State of Union address (usatoday.com)

If anyone out there good with photoshop Dark Brandon fighting the Borg would be great

 

[kage69]

That was funny, even though I shudder at the thought of all the potential Bowling Green Massacres that could have happened were Dark Brandon to be so bold.

 

[sportage]

I thought it was a very good speech. It's just too bad that people have to get old. If Biden were 20 years younger he'd be ok but at his age there is a lot to question and have concern about. Yet what do we want? Do we want Joe Biden who is on the side of the middle class, or someone like Trump who is insane regardless of his age. Or, do we want a MT Greene who goes far beyond insane? And imagine MTG at 80 years. Greene will still act the way she acts now, but doing it homeless from a box living on the streets.

Old is something that eventually comes to us all, but insane? Insane lasts a lifetime.
So yeah, a really good speech but sad that Biden's body is failing him. And I do believe when people including democrats hope that Biden does not run, I think that's being a bit bigoted towards old people. And there is a lot of that going around against old people, it's not only Biden.

Damn, one of the best SOTU addresses in recent memory. The old man's still got plenty of fire in the belly!

I can't believe you posted this next and right in time with the singing in my head!

That's all mixed up.

good opinion piece on the SOTU

'Dark Brandon' shows up at State of the Union, mops the floor with lost Republicans

President Joe Biden came out with vim and vigor in the State of the Union address and mopped the House floor with the Republican Party's remains.

www.usatoday.com

"I’ve never seen anything like it in a State of the Union speech – they ran at him like a pack of lemmings and, with a wink and a grin, he politely directed them to the cliff."

LOL

Old Joe may stutter, make gaffes in speeches, forget sometimes, fall off his bicycle, wear depends, shart, forget he had TS documents, etc. but he's still miles better than trump and some of the idiotic Republican politicians. He held his own tonight.

Repubs can't handle that kind of back at ya.

Republicans will keep their base no matter what, but this can't look good to independents.

Flipped by Fox, immediately post speech. First thing Brit managed to pull out of his mouth was how much Biden slurred and took a lot of pauses. Neve let up the strain, always see what you want to see, then share it.

It's very "divisive"

Gotta love the shit Lincoln project puts out.

 

[soundforbjt]

Hopefully SNL will have a cold opening of this.

 

[Fenixgoon]

Gotta love the shit Lincoln project puts out.

i love that only like half of congress is standing up and the republicans realize how fucking hard they got owned in one of the most publically imaginable ways.

 

[iRONic]

I just finished reading the annotated speech after watching a few of the videos of the hecklers so I had context.

Master class in politics by JB!!!

Highlight your achievements, provide the people with your vision for the country, and diplomatically eviscerate the MAGATS with words and examples of their own agenda, that one which they don’t have.

 

[Saylick]

Republicans wanted a Jerry Springer/Maury-esque take on politics? Well, they just got it, except Joe Biden was NOT the father and Republicans got dunked on.


You know what they say...
