Who should it have been?
I’m pretty sure she claimed we overturned the British Empire during the Revolutionary War. She’s smrt.
Sigh. It was a nice fantasy while it lasted.
The withdrawl set in motion by Trump.
President Biden had committed to ending the war in Afghanistan, but when he came
into office he was confronted with difficult realities left to him by the Trump
Administration. President Biden asked his military leaders about the options he faced,
including the ramifications of further delaying the deadline of May 1. He pressed his
intelligence professionals on whether it was feasible to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan
and both defend them against a renewed Taliban onslaught and maintain a degree of
stability in the country. The assessment from those intelligence professionals was that
the United States would need to send more American troops into harm’s way to ensure
our troops could defend themselves and to stop the stalemate from getting worse.
In addition to being weird, Katie Britt also lied with her anecdote about gang rape:
The person she spoke to who was trafficked was victimized in the aughts, not under Biden.
I somehow that that was the story just from watching the video. I was confused why she was talking about some woman who was trafficked before Biden was in office.
Maybe it’s the same gripe about how Obama didn’t do anything on Sept. 11.
Yeah, what’s next with the ridiculous flip-flop criticisms?
Before SOTU: sleepy Joe has lost it. He’s senile.
After SOTU: He’s too in touch and knowledgeable about his admin’s policies. He needs to delegate more!
Before SOTU: sleepy Joe can only read from a teleprompter. He can’t ad lib at all.
After SOTU: He’s too mean to us with his ‘gotchas’ after we heckle him!
Fox has no issues with hypocrisy; it’s their brand. And their viewers have the memory of a goldfish.
Can you honestly say you’re surprised? Flip-flopping often takes place in the same paragraph, occasionally in the same sentence.
Something major like forgiving insurrection takes a day or two.
No, not surprised at all. How to put it…? It’s like turning on the news and seeing that a 50 car pile-up happened on the freeway. I’m not surprised that it happened, but I’m taken aback and saddened at the sheer magnitude of the awfulness.
That describes so much of the current state of this country.
We’re not quite to Orwell yet. From Wikipedia:
During one particular Hate Week, Oceania switched allies while a public speaker is in the middle of a sentence, although the disruption was minimal: the posters against the previous enemy were deemed to be “sabotage” of Hate Week conducted by Emmanuel Goldstein and his supporters, summarily torn down by the crowd, and quickly replaced with propaganda against the new enemy, thus demonstrating the ease with which the Party directs the hatred of its members.
If SNL does not do Katie Britt tonight, I shall be quite cross.
Pretty darn close.
“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself – that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involved the use of doublethink.”
― George Orwell, 1984
I hope it’s the cold open, They don’t even have to write anything; that shit is comedy gold from the getgo.
They could just run the real footage. Hehe. That would be hilarious.
I dunno the real footage gave me simultaneous willies, and rage.
I’m ganna’ have to record it because I have to be up at 4:30 tomorrow.
(from the quoted tweet by Congressman Jared Moskowitz)
With your help, we can save another Republican from having to deliver a State of the Union response.
Personally, I’d prefer to keep them making the responses. And thus not the SOTU itself.
Same.
