Sarah Huckabee Sanders: I have kids and they lie. So Biden lies. I’ll never get how such things are said… ---

…and then some story about cancer that doesn’t seem to be at all related to what Biden was talking about? …and then “Woke Mob”. Fuck. ---

I know we cannot wager here, but if I could, I’d wager on when she speaks about LGBTQ stuff. ---

So far, the only things I have to say are catty as hell. So I’ll refrain in P&E. Maybe there’s a handy Pit thread. ---

“the choice is between normal and crazy” Well, that much we can agree on. But probably not the way she thinks. ---

“The Biden administration is doubling down on crazy.” Ohhh-kay. ---

Completely detached not just from Biden’s speech, but reality. So, exactly what I expected. ---

Wow…so much wrong with her speech. Not sure where to start. Not just a matter of opinion…actually wrong. So awful. She should be embarrassed. ---

I had to mute my television as the sound of her voice is unbearable. Having her face on the screen is almost as bad so I will be finding something else to watch until she shuts up. ---

Thank you, Ms Huckabee-Sanders, for the good laffs. We are all dumber for having heard your “rebuttal”. ---

“No lights on the runway”? I think the FAA would like to have a word with you… ---

That was a REALLY long part of the speech. How it was in any way a reply to the current SOTU I have NO idea. Instead it was a MAGA fan wank. ---

Maybe this is normal (or maybe not), but so much of her speech so far seems to be about “me, me, me.” “My mother, my trip to Iraq with Trump, my family’s Christmas, I’m the youngest governor in the whole country …” It’s not a response so much as it is “Look at me, I’m wonderful!” Anybody else getting that vibe? ---
