    I didn’t watch the speech, but I did watch the analysis on MSNBC. The speech must have been a loser because they only talked about Trump and the Republicans. I didn’t see them talk about the speech at all. .

    The best part of the SOTU was Sarah Huckabee's speech afterwards. FANTASTIC!

    Well I don't know if that is a bigger knock on MSNBC, or your guessing skills, but you were completely wrong: the speech was definitely a winner. There is not even a credible, differing perspective, as far as that goes. And the analysis I overheard on MSNBC, certainly did talk about the speech, so-- did you only watch two minutes' worth of it? And that is your idea of a basis, for an intelligent opinion, on a speech that ran something like an hour and twenty minutes?

    That explains a lot.

    What was so "fantastic," about it? I found it vacuous-- what did I miss?

    Indeed.......as some will "hear" what they want to hear....

    It must be hard to remain objective when one is so party Biased.

    Reality : the dram queen R's did not d o themselves any favor with their heckling and negative behavior.

    But the plus side of that heckling is that Biden "handled" them with aplomb.,,,and dignity..........They have no regard for decorum......which is essential in in these situations. The WORLD was watching.......... and constantly assessing the "state" of this nation. Will it be a bully. (behaving like a testosterone overdosed entity) .........or an intelligent , progressive and dynamic place that has credibility

    Anyone obsessing about Bidens age......should not. Trump is aging........and not anywhere near as gracefully.

    And if folks cannot see his accomplishments ............they are not looking or don't want to.

    He does not brag about every thing. (over and over again.....like a broken record)........the way the drama King does.....and nor should he. His actions are speaking for themselves. Just because he does not sensationalize everything........... does not mean he has not been very productive.

    You did not miss anything.........unless you like negativism, caustic criticism...........with no constructive suggestions............ ie: That speach was rightout of Trump play book........and the only thing missing was a few toxic threats

    but heck.....some folks like that....probably because it reflects their own anger and negativism..

    I really cannot see how someone who lies every single speech can get re-elected. Look what happened to Trump. These two need to never be involved politics again.

    Your partisan bullshit falls on deaf ears.
    While the cons are deep into their ‘own the libs’ diarrhea, Biden spoke to the rest of America and he showed how a serious leader acts.

    Just Your Average Joe, while acknowledging ordinary Americans in the assemblage, should have called upon George Santos, aka "Anthony Devolder", aka "Kitara" to take a bow, after Kevin "I'll give you whatever you want if you vote for me!" McCarthy failed to designate him as the Republican 'piss n' moan' reflux. I am spurious George could have cast Biden as a less personable Darth Vader high on Cialis® frequenting nursery schools.

    Missed opportunity.

    Meanwhile, the GOP crazies staging a childish homage to the January 6 Trump goon attack on Congress served as effective props for the President. His manipulating them into vociferously rejecting Republican Rick Scott's proposal to sunset Medicare was deft, indeed.


    At last, in 2023, came a new twist on the old ritual. This time, it was ordinary Republicans putting the spotlight on themselves — through extraordinary rudeness. With boos, taunts, groans, and sarcastic chortles, the opposition party effectively turned themselves into prime-time props for President Joseph Biden.

    Obviously you don't. A motivational speaker stands up and tells people how good they are and to be positive- but he doesn't really fix problems. His customers go home pumped up, but the momentum of that doesn't last because it was BS. I know how that industry works, and I've never done that. Damn right- I have not just a clue, more like a cat-scan picture. You have to choose to ignore the lies when they are on this scale.

    My primary work is manufacturing and investing; the business of training people has been more of a sharing of skills I'm fortunate enough to have mastered that are desperately needed by many- and I've dome far more of that free than I've charged for. I train people in particular personal skills- and I tell them right up front that while I can show them how to make changes, that it's hard work that is up to them. I tell them they have to start where they are at, not lie to themselves about where that is. Big difference- that is truth, not a BS snow job. It's hard, but it also works., but many just lack the courage to deal with the challenge. People want easy answers, and the easiest is to sell are lies that help them ignore truth. That is what is known as a "snow job". JOE was doing the BS snow job- pumping the endless facade of well-being. That's blatant dishonesty, an insult to the people- and proof of the total lack of respect for the people he supposed to serve. The gullible people buy that, the people who are savvy know better.

    Do you appreciate being lied to? Is your moral strength so weak you prefer comfortable likes over uncomfortable truth? If those fit you, Joe just filled your plate.

    The American people deserve straight talk and truth from their leaders, not BS and a bubble machine. Problems like this nation faces today don't just blow over, they have to be faced and addressed with honest core solutions. Joe has had problems all along with forming logical sentences and linear thinking, besides the incompetence proven by the record, that everything he's done comes our poorly. This was a snow job on the scale of a lake-effect New York blizzard, not a representation of the true state of the nation. Nothing more than another load of BS, but gold-plated garnished, like putting lipstick and eye shadow on the pig. And I don't believe Joe capable of delivering it so well if he wasn't high on something. I do know people well enough to say that the weaker your are, the more eager you will be to buy this crap so you won't have to face the realities- the less you are capable of handling the truth. The left owns Joe, and plans on owning you- and everybody else.

    You actually buy Biden's lies? Wow.... limited research shows him for the BS'er he is...

    By the way, do you actually DENY ANY OF THIS? Can you be SPECIFIC? Or would that be too much to ask?

    open borders

    100,000 dead from fentanyl

    Three paragraphs and all you can come up with is "Biden bad", "The Left bad" ?

    Stick to your day job and leave the problem solving to Biden and the Left.

    The Republicans and the Right are, clearly, not interested in truth, straight talk or problem solving. Their entire agenda, as demonstrated by the three ring circus it took to elect a Speaker, is focused on staying in power and imposing their minority agenda on the majority. They will crawl on their bellies in the swamp lapping up the leavings of others for political power, as demonstrated by their refusal to hold the Orange Stain accountable for any of his criminal actions( like extorting the government of the Ukraine to help him during a political campaign, which he subsequently lost but tried to install himself as president through fraudulent and even violent means).

    I could go on as there is no lack of examples I could cite, but I have to go makes campaign contributions to the DNC and the committee to re-elect the President.

    you mean something like this

    “Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”

    The rights the ones that gave out the most "free s@%t. Canceling repayment of ppp loans an such.
    Bidens funding the wall, but once again as long as prohibition is law of the land it won't keep out the most violent, because they are invited in for their product.

    Good example of gibberish, word salad, and incoherent nonsense. It usually reflects the state ones brain . and psychological impairment.

    You're right about that. It was fantastic. A fantastic example of Republican priorities.
