President Joe Biden delivered a combination speech on Thursday — campaign speech and state of the union speech.
“If I was smart I would go home now,” said Biden, 81, launching into what may be his possibly last State of the Union. Then he went into the Dark Biden mode, ripping into all who disagree with him, particularly Donald Trump.
He started out by comparing himself to Franklin D. Roosevelt taking on Hitler. He dumped on Trump numerous times. He took on the free market. He took on the food industry. He took on credit card companies. He took on the size of Snickers bars before he even talked about the border. But much of it was unintelligible.
“He’s speed shouting,” commented Tim Murtaugh, a political adviser. In fact, there are 77 exclamation points in the speech, as it was sent out.
He talked about Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
“This #SOTU has attacked American families, the Supreme Court, American corporations that aren’t union, the unborn, Conservatives and more. Who has he championed? China and Russia,” said Rick Whitbeck, Alaska director of Power The Future.
Biden called for lower drug prices, higher salaries for teachers. He called for millionaires to pay their fair share of taxes, as he ignored his son’s scam against the federal Treasury.
Hunter Biden engaged in a four-year scheme in which he chose not to pay at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes he owed for tax years 2016 through 2019 and to evade the assessment of taxes for tax year 2018 when he filed false returns, the Department of Justice said in its indictment.
Biden badgered the Republicans in the room, mocked conservatives, threatened the entire Supreme Court, whose members sat silently staring at him, and was applauded by Democrats repeatedly, while Republicans sat stoically.
When Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia yelled at him to say the name of the woman murdered by an illegal alien, he responded, “Lincoln Riley,” mangling the name of the slain woman, which was Laken Riley. “Lincoln Riley” started trending on X/Twitter immediately.
“The good news is this will be President Biden’s last State of Union Rant,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham.
“If I keep yelling at them, maybe they won’t notice that I’ve gone bat sh*@ crazy,” said Sen. Mike Lee of Utah.
Read the speech at the White House link.
Alaska Republican congressional candidate Nick Begich had an immediate reaction: “JoeBiden proved tonight once again: he cannot speak precisely, he cannot think clearly, he cannot lead rationally. He needs to be defeated in November. It’s time to put the people of America first. It’s time to make the bold decisions that will secure the future of our nation. It’s time to return @realDonaldTrump to the White House.”
Sen. Dan Sullivan prepared remarks in advance of the speech:
With the huge influx of illegal aliens, Texas may become a swing state because the illegals will taint the vote. Deport all of them.
Texas, nope. Not with a minimum wage of $7.25.
That Minimum wage is a very extremely high good wage for the illegals.. To us it’s nil… to them it’s like getting $15-20/hr. OR near abouts.
The only way that happens is if enough California’s continue to move to Texas to avoid high taxes. What you’re proposing may take generations if at all.
Unlikely, but possible. Demographics are not necessarily destiny. The bigger problem is the steadily leftward tilt of the nation since Roosevelt. If we don’t arrest that, incoming demographics are immaterial.
Abbott is getting rid of them as fast as he can. Most probably will never actually try to vote for fear of getting caught. Criminal elements usually don’t vote.
Ted Cruz credits his re election to the refugees from California and Washington.
Anyone who has spent time around Alzheimer’s patients know that anger, shouting, and meanness are hallmarks of the disease. Did anyone notice the spittle coming out of his mouth? The clean-up crew
In the House Chamber did.
Biden’s an angry old man who’s been a cheater for his entire life. The 2020 election was just one example. He’s going to get his ass kicked hard in 2024.
Biden has his own Depends clean-up crew with him 24/7.
I could not watch this bizarre and belligerent character deliver this evening’s rant, or any of his previous SOTU speeches. Much too painful and disturbing.
As a matter of fact, the whole idea of the SOTU speech has lost all appeal to me. The message is required by the Constitution, but the speech is not. For the love of God and country, why won’t Congress tell the presidents to just mail it in.
They all want the TV time.
And it’s “his” (Biden’s)campaign speech for Election purposes.. I’d like to know just “WHO”? wrote it for him
“Much too painful and disturbing.” Disturbing was watching one of the main architects of jan 6, sitting behind 46, rolling his eyes like a little girl. The truth can hurt.
January 6 was a riot that Dems are now using as some sort of pop-up excuse. You don’t get to start running a government because you can squat in a building.
Christopher Wray was not sitting behind President Biden.
A few years ago I was in Portland. One day while I was downtown there was a deranged old homeless man in the middle of the street. He was alternating between mumbling, yelling incoherently, and creative streams of really vulgar profanity. He gestured violently at the air.
It was sadly easy to smell him from a distance, he was dirty, and everyone around him ignored him.
I often wondered what happened to that sad pathetic old man. Then I saw part of SOTU and there he was.
What a ridiculous comment. It adds nothing, it’s of course untrue, and it adds nothing to the discussion except to expose your ugly hatred. Shame on you.
Go home child. Adults are talking.
Show us on the Biden doll where he hurt you.
My wallet will do nicely.
Perhaps you and Hans can go make mud pies together. Unless that exceeds your collective capability.
Exactly.
The Biden doll doesn’t have a soul to point to.
Ha ha very true.
I listened to this twice and read it once. It was embarrassing. It was not an address of a leader about the state of affairs but a haughty diatribe.
The antidote is not his replacement with another raving 77 year old whose marital integrity is shameful. Who lacks the internal switch or filter that prevents most of us from saying stupid to fill the air such as belittling an opponent’s husband service record, spewing stupid about magnets and water or resigning the Patriot Act.
There are over 300m of us, surely there is a better candidate than these two grandpa’s.
Tell me you support Nikki Haley, without telling me you support Nikki Haley.
RINO much.
Time for another booster, Chris.
Yet they will not be on the ballot. It’s time to accept the reality of the moment.
At least 46 wasn’t whining about windmills causing cancer or golden toilets with low water pressure. Any day now, 45 should start running away from the 3 SCJ he appointed, as in their anti-choice/freedom agenda, because, it’s the nail in his campaign coffin. Can you be more specific with your embarrassment. Joe proud fully stood up for America last night. Our economy is crushing it.
It’s crushing the middle class certainLy!!
Our economy is definitely crushing.
Maybe I missed it, but can you point to a statement from President Trump, recorded in a reliable source, where the claimed windmills caused cancer?
Date, time, and a video/recording or transcript works.
“…….Our economy is crushing it.”
There are some 600,000 Americans living in government funded shelters or in tents on the sidewalks and parks, and we have to read pablum like yours after walking around them and watching our local governments flounder in the hopelessness. Yeah, “our economy is crushing it”, all right. Smashing it to smithereens.
Congratulations. See John 9: 41-
“…….If you were truly blind, you would have no sin; but you say, ‘We see!,’ yet your sin remains……….”
“……..There are over 300m of us, surely there is a better candidate than these two grandpa’s.”
If so, good luck finding him/her and convincing him/her to even run, not to mention fixing the corrupt spirit of this society enough to elect this magical person.
Get involved. Run for office, or support someone that wants to.
Seriously. Where are the candidates? There is no way to force someone to run. If we are stuck with old men, that is because the voters WANT it.
Trump would never be able to deliver such a fine speech. He’d go off script, start rambling incoherently, and launch into an endless stream of personal grievances and recriminations.
After watching Biden tonight, there is no doubt of his mental acuity, his energy, and his ability to carry on in office.
Is he old? Yes. In fact he’s a whole three years (or about 4%) older than Trump. BFD. They’re both old.
OMG you thought that was a fine speech-you are delusional! And just to think he is the leader of the free world. Totally disgusting and you need to wake up!
How much do you get paid to echo the msm propaganda? When the globalists are done with you, they are going to get rid of you also. You’d be better off to admit that you are nothing to the evil and start working to save humanity instead. Poor kitten.
Have you never watched Star Trek? The federation is something we should be striving for. We can’t survive as a species without unity. Global bickering will be our undoing
The Federation was a socialist, practically communist organization. And, Gene Roddenberry was a hard left liberal.
Tell me you are a leftist without saying “I am a leftist.”
.
And, sorry, but bickering is a much better way to get things done, to innovate, and to progress than everyone hugging and thinking alike. Since you bring up Sci-Fi, have you ever read the novels where your society of “unity” is actually achieved? The correct word to describe them is stagnating.
If you ever want to read a very chilling SF book that skillfully describes the inevitable outcome of the sort of paternalistic global ‘unity’ that Greg and others apparently strive for, dig up an old copy of “This Perfect Day”, by Ira Levin (also the author of “Rosemary’s Baby”).
I think I read that ages ago… the title sounds very familiar. I will check it out, just in case, and thanks for the recommendation.
.
However, I was thinking more along the lines of Brave New World, or even Atlas Shrugged. Then again, those books has a LOT of conflict in them, and not much unity. Granted the government/powers wanted unity, as much as they wanted compliance, but stubborn humans just would not comply. 1984 is another good example. Comply, or be destroyed.
Hell, even Star Trek was full of conflict. Would have been a very boring show if it wasn’t. But, why let reality destroy a good narrative?
That is the unity Greg wants. Everyone complying with authority.
Everyone working towards a common goal. Yep.
“We can’t survive as a species without unity. Global bickering will be our undoing”
Can you point out where you said “working toward a common goal?”
.
And, who gets to decide what that common goal is? What if I do not agree that is a goal I want to work toward. Should I change my mind, or should you change your mind?
What makes the person defining the goal right?
.
Stop living in a fantasy world where people will go along. It is not in our nature.
Ripping the country apart isn’t the way forward.
Who is ripping the country apart?
Those horrible MAGA people?
.
Share with us your vision of where the divide is, and who is increasing it.
I see you have never been to a Trump rally.
His timing & memory are excellent and he speaks for 2 hours (he is a showman)
It happens. HILLARY had to be flown home nightly for baby blood vampire transfusions just so she could campaign the next day. Remember when she threw a shoe getting into that van? Biden hid out in his basement. Trump has virgins that he molests. Birds of a feather.
Tin foil hat much? I highly doubt someone married to a super model is attracted to teens.
First time on the internet?
+10. Isn’t it amazing, either he is too slow for some or he’s too fast for others, or omg, he was too partisan …. see 45. Funny, the James Woods input above, at 76 yrs old, he needs a better hearing aid or he should sit closer to the tv.
Vladimir Lenin had a phrase for mindless lemmings and pro-authority lackeys like this creature and Hans Litten above: “Useful fools”.
Well you surprised me there Jefferson. I was betting you’d go with “quisling”.
That works equally as well, because it is after all what you and those pro-establishment conformists like you are.
It is very interesting to me, Hans, that in all the times that I have blasted those like you with what is to me one of the very worst epithets, “conformist”, not ONE of you have ever tried to deny that that is in fact what you are. I guess the truth of it is just too undeniable, even for you.
“……He’d go off script, start rambling incoherently, and launch into an endless stream of personal grievances and recriminations……….”
Isn’t that exactly what Brandon just did?
Grandpa Bloodstains threatens SCOTUS, insulted 1/2 of the county, put Ukraine ahead of us, blamed Trump for everything, and couldn’t decide if Putin was good or evil. Plus he either lied or misunderstood everything.
In a roundabout way it was a good SOTU summary. A wounded, fractured country teetering on the edge of civil war.
“…….In a roundabout way it was a good SOTU summary. A wounded, fractured country teetering on the edge of civil war.”
Yup: the state of the union is domestic hatred. A civil war tends to treat that for most of the surviviors, and even the surviving antagonists with the hottest fevers going in to it. The war tends to kill off enough of the antagonists to treat the political stalemate, but the hatred only grows. Most ironic is that the anti-war moralists will get war all over themselves. They’ll get to feel it. Smell it. Hear it. And they’ll get to see their foreign buddies rejoice and gloat in their misery.
You mean teetering on the edge of extinction.
You are clearly blinded if you are attributing Bidens dementia to Trump. Sorry I can listen to Trump and hear an adult.
Biden is a nursing home patient babbling at best, that needs some Haldol to calm his raging.
Has nothing to do with an age number Hans. Quality speaks for itself. Clowns just do what they are told.
Mental acuity? He called Laken Riley “Lincoln Riley” while he was holding the damn pin next to his face…?!?!
You really are in love with this man.
At least he acknowledged Lincoln was killed by an illegal.
Squat for Laken, however.
And Trump called his wife Mercedes. No contest here.
Wow…
Yes, Trump does have a tendency to go off script. That much I agree with.
However, Uncle Joe is incapable of actually reading the teleprompter coherently. And, he goes off script as much, if not more than President Trump ever did.
On the “Plus” side…he was able to approach, and leave, the podium without an escort, and the people that he called on in the audience were actually there. Other than that, it was total bovine manure.
Chanting 4 more years, who the he– would want 4 more years of this idiot? He has turned this country upside down. Morons!
We were already there.
Biden spoke the truth. Trump is deranged.
Please list any and all things you believe Biden told the truth about. I’ll wait. There were maybe one or two, such as he was on the stage, and he knew some folks in the crowd. The rest was just his normal congenital liar behavior, trying pathetically to sound like he was leading this country anywhere but to hell. I suppose you need some of what they pumped him full of in order to function too?
You know, most women are kind, compassionate, understanding, and gentle. I don’t see any of that in you, Tamra. You’re nothing more than an angry, resentful, and mean-spirited gal who apparently can’t find anything good in life, so you focus on the bad. I really feel for people like you – swept off your feet by MAGA, something that you will surely someday regret.
Your radical leftist extremist projection is showing here again, hans.
You people are devoid of both morals and sanity.
“…….most women are kind, compassionate, understanding, and gentle…….”
LOL! Obviously raised in a sheltered environment, I see. So much for your self-imagined wisdom.
Did you just assume Tamra’s gender?
I think that speech was meant to be his campaign speech – trying to sell his hatred and lies to the woke sheeple. Nothing “Presidential” about that demon at the pulpit.
As for Alaska Dan Sullivan’s rebuttal before the speech: nothing – at this point – that Sullivan says is going to help his reputation with Alaskans. He has sold us out and kicked us to the curb. He looks wiped out. Think all of the lying, cheating and stealing of our money is catching up to him mentally? We don’t want you Sullivan. Resign, go home and prepare for your trial date when you will have to answer to the people of this state and of the nation for the wrongs that you have done against all of us.
Ginny I seen the same of Dan’s “nothing ” I also agree that Dan’s reputation is a waste land of sell outs for the military machine! The bags under Sullivan’s eyes says it all!
Joe, you CRUSHED IT ! YOU THE MAN !
You forgot the (/sarc) tag. Cheers –
Meaning the truth, and decency, and dignity, apparently.
Yes, all those he really crushed.
I’ve been wondering if you’d just gotten tired of the unpredictable nature of posting lately.
You and I seem to have a very different approval level than most others.
You are correct on both counts, TMA.
I have repeatedly posted I’m willing to follow the rules (or leave if I find them onerous) but post them clearly and apply them equally.
Doesn’t seem too difficult a request.
MA, thanks for posting. I post the general guidelines once a year and you can always do a keyword search for them. I just checked and see that I have approved over 10,000 of your comments, so you seem to be doing something right. We have had a weird technical glitch in the comment section in recent weeks that you have mentioned and that we are trying to fix; we have only put together a workaround so you hopefully don’t experience such long delays. I appreciate you bringing the problem to my attention! I am hopeful the permanent fix can be found. Thank you for all your great comments, almost all of which I allow through. Let me know if things are better. – sd
Funny thing, when I recently requested that the comments policy be posted, I was publicly called a liar by SD and threatened with a trip to the “banishment bin”. No nice reassuring apology, no “thanks for the great comments” for me, I guess. . Apparently far-right voices are accorded a higher level of grace here on MRA than are those with a more moderate viewpoint. So much for fair and balanced journalism.
I would ask for an apology if I really thought I would get one, yet, being a gentle and fair-minded person brought up in Christian ways, I will refrain from returning the ill-will and acrimony shown towards me.
Hans, you did not ask for the comment policy but accused the publication of not posting the comment policy. Again, you are lying. Thanks for all your great comments, and thanks for playing. – sd
Don’t be the first one to cast the stone.
If there was ever advertisement for staying off drugs, this was it.
Once the speed wore off, he stopped yelling and slowed down like a record when the power was shut off.
Hans, you are absolutely correct. There is NO doubt of Biden’s “mental
ability, his energy, and his ability to carry on in office”.
More than half the nation and most of the rest of the world believe Biden does not have those characteristics to be President of our country.
That was made quite clear during Biden’s hostile screaming speech last night. And to think he even mentioned wanting to unify the country. Good job doing that. Right Hans?
🥱😴
Thank you for the recap (all of you); it appears I missed nothing new.
Murkowski is silent nothing to say
Where the Rino Lisa? She must be in tears cuz Nikki lost in Alaska Primary
President Biden did what trump does in every speech only Biden was coherent and offered concrete proposals to help Americans. All your comments betray the fear and shame you feel for supporting a loser like trump.
See what I see!? When Trump is Sworn into office, Democrats will stonewall and deny his election just like they did when President Lincoln won before Democrats lead this nation into a civil war. Democrats are still sour since their confederates loss to the Union. They hated this country ever since their concede.
When Trump wins, I am thankful I live in a small town not anywhere near a metropolitan. Although my town is a blue town so that’s nerving.
You think this country is still North VS South? Have you looked lately that new york and minnesota and oregon in washington are north of the mason dixon line and what about illinois?
It’s We, the People vs. The Establishment.
Greg, this country is now about good verses evil and that was made totally clear in 2023 to people whose eyes are open. Forget North/South, democrat/repbulican…this is good versus evil. You, from what I have witnessed are rooting for evil. God Almighty wants you to be saved also and there is still time. Repent for your sins and accept God Almighty’s Son as your Savior!
Your “God” does not exist, and you apparently exist in a state of self delusion, Dear Ginny. You have no idea what GF does or does not believe, nor are you entitled to try to convert him to your version of religious fantasy. Let’s ask a few questions about your God:
Why would a loving God ask Abraham to kill his own son?
Why would a loving God allow pedophilia to exist in His/Her creation?
Why would a loving God allow war, starvation, disease, hatred, and crime to pervade His society?
Why would a loving God the Father decide to kill his own son, and in such a cruel and excruciating manner?
Why would a loving God allow religions to exist which purportedly condemn their adherents to eternal damnation?
Why would a loving God allow nuclear weapons to be created, thereby providing His creation with the means to self destruct?
And why would a loving God allow sin to exist in the world to begin with?
Indeed, the Lord works in mysterious ways. Yeah, that platitude should satisfy everyone. If we say it loud and often enough, maybe they’ll stop asking such questions.
God is for the feeble-minded who cannot think for themselves, and you have been sucked into the black hole of the religion industry. Maybe someday you will see the real Light, and toss all of this rubbish overboard. Until then, please leave those of us who prefer reality to fantasy alone, and stop your incessant proselytising.
Thanks.
Ridiculing someone for their faith is low. Childish.
It demonstrates a small intellect.
.
Grow up.
Believing such ridiculous rubbish is childish – no, infantile. It demonstrates a small intellect, an unwillingness to think for oneself, an insecurity resulting in a need to be protected by a higher power, and an unwillingness to admit to one’s own self-delusion long after recognizing one’s having been mislead during childhood.
Grow up.
“such ridiculous rubbish”
You mean, like statism? Like believing in a purely benevolent and an all-powerful paternalistic state?
Hans, the irony, and hypocrisy, in your post here are literally off the charts. Because you are as guilty, or even more guilty, of EXACTLY what you blast others here for: a blind and patently false faith. Only in your case, the God in question is government, rather than some supernatural entity.
I can believe whatever I want without impacting you in any way whatsoever.
On the other hand, you show up on an internet web site, and ridicule others, and somehow think it is OK to do so?
.
Whether I believe in a supreme being, or I just find personal solace in the mediation of prayer is nothing to you. It impacts your life in no way whatsoever. But, for some reason you have to ridicule and mock those that have faith?
Why?
.
The bigger person is not the one ridiculing others. Regardless of their beliefs.
First off, if YOU are defending Greg, then he is rooting for the evil. Second, if you want to know about God Almighty, please accept his gracious offer to help you understand his ways. Yet, you would not accept his offer – you would mock him. The day is coming when the world will learn the truth of who is the ruler of this world and why it had to be that way. Looking forward to truths coming out.
Ginny. As an atheist, I’ve been accused of mocking god. Not true. I mock foolish people who believe in ghosts and fairies and monsters and a devil and virgin births and resurrection. Very mock worthy.
Why do you feel the need to mock people for a belief you disagree with? How does it hurt you, and how does mocking us improve your sad life?
It speaks volumes of your character and personal insecurities to do so.
You try to convert me, I’ll try to un-convert you. Evangelism is not a one-way street. Simple as that.
If you understand faith, especially mine, you’d know we are instructed not to toss pearls to swine.
As someone incapable and clearly willfully ignorant of matters beyond the end of your nose, I’d not waste my time.
My efforts are better spent reaching out to people with genuine questions.
You, as usual, are profoundly out of your depth.
Why in the world would anyone try to convert you?
If someone knocks on your door and preaches, say no thanks, politely, and shut the door. The missionaries are used to it. They will leave you alone.
“Your “God” does not exist……..”
But your god certainly does, and I want nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, it masqurades as a legitimate government, so it needs to be killed like Hades.
Funny, the most feeble minded person here claims not to believe.
But I would expect nothing less. You don’t understand faith, you don’t want to, so you attack it.
You use simple minded gotcha examples without any sense of context to debate them. Typical.
You think you won something here, but all you did was expose yourself as breathtakingly more ignorant than first thought.
Quite an accomplishment, but not one to be proud of. Yet somehow I suspect you will be.
I’d bet that my religious training and upbringing equals or exceeds yours. The only difference is that I had the courage to face the fact that the theological aspects of it were completely made up and phony. I tossed it all aside and carry on quite happily without it. Give it a try – if you dare.
Oh child. As usual, you have no clue what you are talking about.
More, by making the claim you did, you expose yourself as either being a total fraud, or more likely a liar. Either way, not a good look. But one you seem to have mastered.
If you had 1/8th the religious “training and upbringing” you tout, you would know Christ Himself tells us not to toss pearls to swine.
If I thought for a moment you were actually reachable, that would be one thing. But you are determined to revel in your misguided arrogance and ignorance. Have at it.
You may dare me. You may double dog dare me. You may throw every third grade challenge you can remember at me, I’m not going to play. To play dignifies your tantrum.
I have children. I have grandchildren. I learned decades before you were born when toddlers throw tantrums, adults ignore them. When the audience ends, the tantrum shortly follows.
Have at, child. Enjoy yourself. I have adults to talk with.
Hans:
” being a gentle and fair minded person brought up in Christian ways ”
Hans:
“Your God does not exist” – “…God is for the feeble minded…”
Are the people who brought you up feeble minded Hans?
That would explain a lot.
I am saved. Men are flawed. All men. Evil resides in all men. Especially Trump. Put down the kool-aid and look at the big picture. Our country will rip itself apart. So will the world. It is written. You know that.
Wow, you actually read Jen’s comment and thought she was talking geographically?
The real audience for this farce was the squishy democrats. And Gavin Newsome. Grandpa Bloodstains isn’t going away willingly.
Persecutes and jails political prisoners and brags about it. Check.
Prosecutes and attempts to bankrupt and imprison main opposition leader. Check.
Unleashes government agencies and officials to censor speech. Check.
Uses government agencies to illegally surveil citizens. Check.
Reckless foreign policy centered around war and creating instability. Check.
No concern for fiscal stability so prints endless amounts of fiat currency thereby destroying its value. Check.
No regard for national sovereignty so opens the border to all illegals. Check.
Adds One Trillion to debt every 100 days. Check.
Needs copious amount of amphetamines and other drugs to perform in public. Check.
Regards fellow citizens as enemies to be marginalized, bankrupted and imprisoned. Check.
Turns up the signal on Radio Rwanda to maximum. Check.
We really need to separate into two or more countries. Anyone who would support this demagogue I do not want to share a country with and it is appalling that we have to be led by this pant load. Let them have their own country that they can turn into hell. Let us save a remnant.
I’m not a fan of the “Great Divorce” concept, but am beginning to see it as potentially the better solution than a potential civil war.
Sad thing is, if we could ditch California this whole problem goes away.
“…….I’m not a fan of the “Great Divorce” concept, but am beginning to see it as potentially the better solution than a potential civil war………”
Divorce IS civil war. There is no winning in either. Multiple nations on this continent guarantes more war, just like Africa and Europe (or pre-United States North America) with its multiple nation-states. See W.T. Sherman’s letter to the fathers of Atlanta before he burned it to the ground. Reject the false allure to “divorce” and demand constitutional alliegence.
Divided we fall. Won’t work.
Old, stale rhetoric that no longer applies to our times.
Those of us of a certain age have seen this before. Back in the 60s people should get juiced on speed, get incoherent and hyper, then crash hard.
Last night was like the 60s all over again. Maybe Geandpa Bloodstains had a flashback or a really bad trip.
If we’re lucky.
I agree that Biden appeared to be on some chemical cocktail. I have to think that today he is crashing. Last night he was clearly not the same guy that stumbles through regular public appearances. Someone did something to hype the old guy up. Pure speculation: Maybe he was wearing a harness to monitor is blood pressure and heart rhythm.
In other comments, I have been very critical of Donald Trump. I will not repeat them here. Suffice it to say I do think Donald Trump will be a good President if he is re-elected. Trump is not of good character, is not forward-looking and does not appeal to the highest and best in each of us.
Biden’s SOTU performance reveals just how poisoning the “negative-and-nasty” can be for the country. Biden was just as bad as Trump and maybe worse. Declaring war on those that hold differing views will not move the country forward. Neither Trump not Biden presents anything to be proud of. Is this the country for which thousands have given their lives over the last two hundred and fifty years? If so, we can redefine “dishonor.”
Some, perhaps many, will dismiss my views as unrealistic. That is fine with me. That said, unless and until we set much higher standards for our leaders, we will continue to get bad people. Things are not going well for the United States. Perhaps we are well down the road to the time and place that our greatest President, Abraham Lincoln, feared – where the country will perish from the Earth. We cannot say that we were not warned.
Since Jesus isn’t running, what do you intend to do?
This is the system we have. It has played out based on the people participating and the times we live in.
You can choose to sit it out, many will. Then you will have had even less than usual ability to even attempt to effect change.
For what it’s worth, I agree in principle about Trump. He’s not my favorite candidate, but DeSantis ran an abysmal campaign and self destructed. So my choice in opposition Grandpa Bloodstains is Trump.
Simple truth is, my wallet can’t afford your principles.
FWIIW – it is unlikely that my voting or not voting for President will make any difference in Alaska in 2024. That said, I will write in Speaker Mike Johnson for President. This vote may be invalid but as you know, I won’t vote for the flawed Republican nominee and Biden is a national disgrace.
I remain hopeful that I can eventually enlist you in the movement to select and elect better candidates with character.
And btw – I have run for office before and come close to winning. (My opponent was an honorable guy.) As it turned out, better opportunities arose for me thereafter.
I’m always hoping and pushing for better candidates. But I also understand the concept of playing the hand dealt.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Can you afford a trade war and 60% tariff? Trump says he will do this.
“……..Can you afford a trade war and 60% tariff?……..”
Easily. What I cannot afford is war waged at my home.
JMARK,
Agreed. There certainly are better people for the job but they don’t want the job and those that do routinely fail the media and true believer gauntlet. This whole charade has been in a downward spiral for decades. We (as a people) are force fed candidates and told these are our choices then we tear the choices apart until the last of the horrible choices are left standing. I have yet to have my first choice make the general ballot, maybe one of these years…
Unless and until the elderly release the reigns on the power trip they’ve been on for decade after decade while spending away their children’s future and their children’s children future, then we are most certainly doomed.
If there’s any doubt that humans are only half a chromosome away from being chimpanzees, MTG’s junior high school behavior should leave no doubt. I don’t know what was worse, listening to Biden speak, or watching MTG act the fool.
Cman:
MTG has more balls than you will ever have. Have you inspected yourself lately?
Wow. What a retort. I see you went to the same school of dialectic as MTG.
MTG is living proof that Homo Sapiens did in fact interbreed with Neanderthals, as has been suspected by anthropologists for some time. Her behavior and her visage are dead giveaways.
Neanderthal dna is rare and endangered, so MTG needs and deserves special protections and rights in accordance with her genetic makeup. Indeed, she is even more rare than African Americans. Moreover, Neanderthals need and deserve a greater share of power in government. By your claims, it must be so.
Clever indeed, but happily MTG’s visage and behavior strongly defend her DNA against replication.
Surprised nobody has questioned the employment numbers. Like how many people have taken themselves out of the workforce in favor of the new liberal social welfare system that allows nearly anyone a free ride. Where are those numbers? What a convenient way to make a failing administration look good.
Biden used words that were more than 2 syllables and it confused many of the GOP listeners. They only want to hear their cult leader utter nonsense about how great he was. 45’s record speaks for itself if you are willing to look at the facts, not the propaganda that he spews.
Biden looked and sounded like an angry old man shouting in a fit of desperation as he is losing his grip and knows it but cannot admit it. There was I suspect something considerably higher octane than caffeine going on there. Pathetic!
Feral invaders have killed many times more Americans than Israel lost on 10-7. Think about that a while .
More to think about:
The leftists are cheering on the feral invaders, both domestically, and abroad.
What an unhinged stream of comments you released with your headline “Biden speed-shouted…,” Suzanne. The only real shouting came from Republican Representative M.T.Greene and another unidentified Republican Representative who was quickly ushered out after his unintelligible outburst. I only hope our attending Governor listened to what President Biden had to say. But really listening intelligently doesn’t seem to be a quality most people have in our partisan world. Like the Mountain Church sign says: “[I] am praying for you.”
Jon, by “stream of unhinged comments”, you are of course clearly referring to the Dark Brandon State of the Onion speech yesterday, which amounted to one long, spittle-flecked, Alzheimer’s-laced “get off my political lawn!” rant.
Really, you are proud of THAT? You throw your allegiance to THAT? You think that THAT has the moral high ground? Honestly?
J. Biden has poise experience and intelligence. Your numbnut trump has none of that. If he’s elected, you and I and all of us are in for major negative disruptions in every aspect of our society. Doesn’t matter if your a stinky jock strap on the junior high school parking lot like you or an erudite purveyor of truth and goodness like me, we’re all fucked.
Mark, your puerile and specious false dichotomy “thinking” is clearly on display here.
NOWHERE in my previous comment did I mention Trump, or allude to Trump, or suggest ANYTHING about Trump. My comment was solely directed at the shamefulness of pro-establishment lackeys like Jon Sharpe defending a demonstrably senile, corrupt and evil man as president.
Is it even possible for you TDS sufferers to engage in a semi-coherent and even marginally logical discussion? It would appear not.
“Erudite purveyors” don’t have to rely on profanity to make points.
Via your own post you have proven not to be what you claim.
cman, when one of these illegal criminal invaders rapes and murders one of your loved ones Representative Greene will stand up for you. Grampa Crapstaines will straddle your leg and fill your boot while regaling you with bald faced lies about his alleged son Beau’s feats of bravery in combat, and ensuing death. All while leering at any young girls present and stuffing his lying face with stolen ice crème. Enjoy, Fool.
Another purile respinse. All too predictable.
Amen Kane. He is definitely not legitimate.
Adderall does strange things, huh.
I watched the speech. Biden was divisive and angry. And he lied. He lied about the border bill. He lied about reducing the deficit- its grown by trillions under his failed leadership. He did not seem to comprehend that the inflation his reckless spending caused has hurt hundreds of million of Americans.
Biden touted his corporate welfare for the semiconductor industry- over $280 billion. He then bashed corporations for having profits. So welfare is good… and profits are bad?
Biden did not accept any responsibility for his open borders, or the crime wave and economic hurt that has caused- or the massive number of drugs deaths associated with the open border. Biden refused to accept the national debt is way too large- as are the interest payments.
In summary, there is no vision. No reason to think his policies will do anything more that continue to hurt, and destroy our nation.
Biden is not fit for office. How can half of our country be so stupid to support Biden?
Simple. Because he is not Trump.
Whom the gods destroy they first make mad. Sadly, it applies here. Our country is full of good people but really bad leadership.
Very true.
He gives me the creeps just seeing his picture.
It’s like Grandpa Simpson meets “Deliverance” banjo boy.
Seth Myers:
“Presumptive GOP nominee for president, again, for a third time, despite the fact he is a twice-impeached, four-time criminal indictee and racist who’s been found liable for fraud and sexual abuse. Banned from doing business in the state of New York for three years. Owes over half a billion dollars in fines. Took millions from foreign governments while he was president. Tried to extort a foreign country to interfere in an election in 2020 and encouraged another to help him win in 2016,” Mr Trump “actively undermined a nation’s response to a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and let a deadly disease spiral out of control. Is about to go on trial for breaking campaign finance laws by paying hush money to cover up an affair during the 2016 campaign. Orchestrated a months-long coup attempt that culminated in a violent insurrection to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power and install him as an unelected dictator. Stole classified documents and obstructed attempts to get them back. Has never once won the popular vote and has been routinely rejected by a majority of Americans in election after election”. Mr Trump “spews deranged conspiracy theories about everything from climate change to immigration, to vaccines to windmills. Glitches on three-syllable words, two-syllable words and one-syllable words, cheats at golf, can’t spell his own name, his wife’s name or the words ‘indicted’, ‘education’, ‘unprecedented’, ‘stolen’, ‘Denmark’. ‘Kentucky’ or ‘tap’,” Meyers said.
“And is on top of everything else, the single weirdest, most off-putting human being on the face of the f****** planet,” he concluded.
And..?
What does this have to do with SOTU?
An excellent summary. Unfortunately, sides have been taken and logic therefore no longer prevails.
I wonder if Joe ever showered with Hunter.
Jay. You perfectly identified the thought process of MRAKers.
Seth Meyers is an entertainer.
Why should I give a toss about what he has to say?
Dan Sullivan is a RINO!! He needs to get out of office and let someone with Spine take over.
You are mocking God Evan
But worse, you are denying God.
Bad move dude.
The proof the left realizes how bad SOTU went is born by the desperation and obnoxiousness of the troll army.
For the usual suspects to be losing it so badly is telling.
I don’t particularly have a TV. Can anyone remember if the podium had a presidential seal on it this time? Things seem to be trending downward.
