He’s kicking butt and holding no punches. And it’s interesting to watch the speaker. ---

I think he’s taken more digs at “my predecessor” more times than any President ever in any SOTU. ---

Joe could hand her pins with all the people killed by ar15’s and american citizen mass shooters, but that would be one big ass pin. Oh, let me add marge is an attention junkie. It’s the only reason she’s in congress. ---

I don’t have the patience to sit down and watch a speech, but my wife has it on in the other room, and I can hear it while doing other things. And from what I’m hearing, man-oh-man, Joe is smokin’ tonight! ---

I’m keeping an eye on Trump’s “play by play” at Truth Social. Very low energy. All he’s managed to say so far is that someone kissed Joe and he has lipstick on his cheek. LOL. He might actually be shook. ---

Ahhh, that makes sense… They’re pretending to care about a victim of violence by focusing on an illegal immigration issue. I see Marge is still wearing the hat. ---

I can think of few things I’d rather do than have to sit quietly and look attentive and presentable through a state of the union address. /s And Harris has to keep standing and applauding. But i guess at least she gets to stretch her legs. ---

Over on the RW message board, they’re complaining that this is a campaign speech. Well, yes, it’s kind of to be expected in the SOTU in an election year, for a (so far) one-term president. But what does their hero do when he sees a camera and a microphone? Campaign speech. But that’s somehow okay. Yeesh! ---
