State of the Union Address, March 7, 2024

I figured dump was talking about his own drug use. Ooops

Biden definitely worked the crowd tonight. Had some nice call and response, got to the hecklers before they could start.

People saying to him “you were on fire”, “fired us up”.

He did well. I like how he called-out “people in the room” who have been obstructing progress.

According to Dana Bash at CNN, Biden used the words “my predecessor” 13 times in total. Never mentioned him by name, but we all know whom he was referring to.

Remind me… what are the Republicans’ policy positions, again?

I was sort of surprised dump didn’t plan a rally down the street or something.

He had the lines about “ we don’t meet our ideals , but we keep pushing in that direction” which sort of acknowledged the problems present but I guess got to keep an positive spin at the end

“Hurt the people who need to be hurt. Lower taxes for the rich. Grift the rubes.” That’s my impression, anyway.

Fear hate and indentured servitude through company tied medical insurance.
Malice tempered by incompetence is their motto

They support whatever Democrats oppose and oppose whatever Democrats support unless and until Dear Leader tells them different.

Very strong. He said that clearly.

That was one of his better lines.

It is a shame that he flubbed a few lines. I’m sure people inclined to dislike him will say that’s his age.

And reflexively opposing anything which Democrats support.

Y’know, it that’s what senile and incompetent looks like I will gladly take it.

Yeah. He’s never been a great public speaker. He’s much more comfortable now, working the crowd. That’s his millieu. He was good.

Well twitter seems to think he did very well. I’m glad to know it and I wish I could watch it without Johnson in the picture.

johnson is ripe to be a bobble head doll. He has a freakishly big head.

If you’re a true undecided, or first time voter, or independent I don’t know how you could listen to that and then listen to the incoherent ramblings of a Trump rally and decide “yeah, I think Trump is the way to go this year”

The response. Good lord.

It took awhile, but according to NBC

Steve Nikoui, the father of Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, was escorted out of the address after interrupting Biden’s speech to criticize the administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Nikoui yelled, “Abbey Gate!” referring to the 2021 suicide bombing at Kabul Airport’s Abbey Gate where Kareem and 12 other U.S. service members and 170 Afghan civilians were killed as the Taliban provided security outside.

Thank you!
