Joe Biden - State of the Union Address
WiseToo
New York
Tonight, Joe Biden will deliver his 2024 State of the Union Address.
Does anyone really care what he has to say after having experienced the past three years of his administration? The old saying,"Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice shame on me" is appropriate. I'm not going to waste my time and look forward to November.

I also bet this will be the shortest SOTU in recent memory, and it will all be:
"Give me money"
"Give me the Senate Immigration Bill so I can deal with this problem"
"It's the GOP's fault"
"My predecessor caused all this"
"Cookie Monster and Shrinkflation" (Cookie Monster is owned by PBS/NBR/CPB - taxpayer subsidized)
"Crime is falling under my direction"
"Inflation has significantly dropped and under control"
"We are pumping more oil than ever in history"
and so on.
This will be a good strip club night.
The funny thing is, Shrinkflation has been around for DECADES. Decades ago, Cranberries were in a 16 oz bag, now it's 12 oz (33% inflation). What the WH doesn't realize is Shrinkflation doesn't affect the published Inflation Rate. Shrinkflation hides the real numbers.
He will more than likely announce ExOs regarding the Southern Border (Northern is a problem too and will be ignored) to add Border Patrol Agents and Judges - aka Travel Agents. You don't just pluck them off a tree, it'll take a LONG time 12-18 months IF people will want the gig.
My hope is the GOP response will include the need for four debates starting as soon as each delegate hits the Magic Number: any place, any time, with any moderators, and a guarantee the topics will not be provided before the debate - lock them up in a hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnalls' porch.
Well... apparently you care enough to create a thread about not caring.
Difference is Republicans are more inclined to let us live whereas Democrats want to shoehorn us into their vision of an ideal society and play us all against each other.
Does Kamala often seem drunk or is she just goofy?
the only thing that i can come up with that some may consider a positive as a result of biden's administrative actions is increasing the amount of pretty girls in the streets and clubs. my current fave is a colombian who arrived in nyc a couple of years ago. a young latina milf that sort of looks like kirstie alley. and there are more arriving. should be a real fun summer of 2024.
Oh, and who can forget the Trumpster's snubbing of the Inauguration Day ceremony and his petulant firing of the entire White House domestic staff and locking out the Bidens.
Vote for Trump? Never. BTW, I am a lifelong Republican.
He reminded Americans of the significant legislative achievements of his first 2 years and how they help average Americans. He reminded Americans that Trump's biggest legislative achievement was a huge tax cut to the wealthiest Americans.
He pitched the idea that resentment and revenge are outdated, regressive ideas of the past that won't move the country forward. No doubt we'll hear this theme again.
Biden has arguably failed on immigration to date, but now the bipartisan Senate bill provides a serious path forward. He rightly hammered this home and called on Congress to pass it. Trump gave Biden a gift when he intervened. Biden and Dems will keep hammering on this all the way through to November.
One problem Democrats ignore and lie about is that IRS put out a report that the Trump tax cuts benefited the Middle Class more than the 1%.
What we got tonight was an angry old man's political stump. He said he'd hand out more money if re-elected - hand-out money is just more deficit spending. He is still pushing EVs even though the auto industry can't sell them and people don't want them. This was Angry Biden, not bringing the country together - "Democracy will end if I'm not elected". He demands a new Bill to give him the tools he needs to secure the Southern Border, problems are:
1) he issued 90+ ExOs to cancel what Trump had started to secure the Border that was working, and he auctioned off Pennies on the Dollar Wall materials that had been paid for but not used;
2) The Senate Bill doesn't help border control - it allows around 5M more Illegals coming in. He has the authority to secure the Border, doesn't need a new Bill, and it will only add more "Travel Agents" to process them faster to scattered them around the country - they still can't legally work. AND, the unspoken trust: Anchor Babies will be born here, instant citizenship and when old enough can do Chain Migration.
3) His ban on high-cap mags and "assault weapons" is useless. His last gun ban when he was a senator made no difference and when it ended according to FBI records, no difference. Plus, criminals who want them will get them. This is just virtue signaling. Now, had he promoted heavy sentencing when any gun is used in a crime, that would have been acceptable to so many - although it goes against Woke/DEI.
4) He never said he'd do a massive crack-down on MS-13 and similar ultra-violent gangs and prosecute the shit out them with hard prison convictions. MS-13 was imported to the USA, and 1,000s more enter over the Southern Border. This has got to be crushed.
5) Violent Crime is getting worse - if DAs don't prosecute Felonies and reduce a lot of Felonies to Misdemeanors, they go unrecorded. There is a good book that has been around for decades called "How To Lie With Statistics".
6) Building a port on Gaza sounds good to appease pissed off Leftists/Pro-Hamas, only Hamas will take control of whatever is delivered, and the people won't get any.
7) The Roe decision: 1) Obama said he'd codify and never did as he felt it would never be over-turned; 2) Roe is violated with states that go way beyond the first trimester to 26 states allow 24 week to viability to no limits; 3) Nothing was stopping the Democrats for 2 years to Codify an abortion Bill and they didn't. Pro-Choice/Pro-Life - for years now the Dems had a chance to deal with it and didn't.
If Harris/Biden is on the Ballot, it means the Democrats are surrendering no matter who they run will lose so they can keep dry powder for 2028 and toss Harris/Biden down the crapper.

He is worse than a disgrace, he is a blight on our nation.

This sums up the modern day left in a phrase. In other words, you don't mind what amounts to a border invasion, unsafe urban streets, and across the board 20% inflation in the last 4 years, as long as the guy at the helm has "character."
The irony is that you actually think a lifetime politician has character. Well, Obama was given the Nobel peace prize and dropped nearly 100K bombs during his war-filled reign. But he was such a a good speaker and had such "character," didn't he?
Wake up, shit for brains: politicians don't have character!
For what it's worth I thought the speech was well done, and the president's delivery was very good, additional impressions of this independent voter were the audience interruptions were obviously planned theatre, and made the American Congress look like a third world country.
Whichever of these octogenarians win it's the same shit, different day. Currently 9AM and the strip club opens in 2 hours. That's all that matters to me 😤
1) Biden trip and fall down while entering the house chamber and
2) The teleprompter crap out after 5 minutes, leaving him unable to speak about anything but ice cream.
So from my perspective, the speech was a big disappointment.
C'mon, man. Shut the hell up.
Let's make my stance clear: I do not support anything the Democrats (I bundle Soros, Globalists and all their radicals into the Party of Plantations, Slavery, Segregation, Woke and DEI as proxies like Iran has their terrorist proxies) and RINOs are promoting. Republicans have been way too stupid to see what has happened the past 40 years, I hold them accountable too. We have a hot mess we haven't seen since post-Civil War and The Great Depression (took a World War to get us back).
I laid out where the SOTU was just wrong and making stuff up. Biden claimed the wealthy from the Trump Tax cuts benefited more however The IRS said benefited the Middle/Lower class more.
Crime is NOT down: Soros DAs just don't prosecute, felonies are made misdemeanors that don't show up on FBI stats as violent crime, and catch/release illegals are bring violence here.
Biden crushed Trumps Border policies & over 10M crossed and were given cellphones, money, clothes, transportation, and we have NO IDEA who they are, plus the Got-Aways that crossed. 20,000 military age Chinese men crossed compared to 250 during Trump.
Biden has the authority in the Constitution of deal with the Border, he chooses not to, demands the Senate Bill that allows 5M to cross with no improved Border deterrents dumping them into cities that now have to cover kids' education, food and medical over American Citizens.
15M "NEW" jobs that barely get us back to 2019 levels are just replacing what we lost in 2020 plus the lost small businesses and peope working 2 jobs now.
He complained about Trump's spending (that was a problem) however he has record smashing deficit spending, demands more (to buy votes), ignores Student Debt "Forgiveness" after the SC said NO, and keeps yakking he CUT TRILLIONS in SPENDING?
It was a political stump as Biden had nothing to cover his policy disasters. He appeased the radical Dems when he said "1250 were killed on Oct 7th", he didn't say "1250 ISRAELIS were SLAUGHTERED by Hamas Terrorists backed by Iran."
"Par for the course" Sure, right. I'm more than ready to see 4 Trump/Biden debates, and debates w/Harris and whomever is Trump's VP. This of course assumes Biden is not replaced. Las Vegas odd place Trump @5/6 as the GOP choice & Biden @15/8 as the Democrat choice. That speaks volumes.
And before you claim Trump is an Insurrectionist, who has been tried for Insurrection? Toe Tap Toe Tap Toe Tap... That would be nobody, including Trump.
In some Democrat Primaries Biden had close 10% to 20% Uncommitted. That's just not good and reflects his polling numbers.
That’s the point of discussion I do not find you offensive but I do disagree with much of the stuff you keep posting. My feelings is you get most of your information from the same sources, and aren’t really critical of the source material.
Many of the people here don’t know or understand, that they are being manipulated by the media they consume, and it’s not just the lefties. The sources definitely are agenda driven.
I watched perhaps 15 minutes then dozed off. Not making a political comment, I was just tired. lol.
I didn’t watch the whole thing - but I thought Biden was relatively energetic. I’m by no means a supporter but he was far more coherent than many of the YouTube clips show him to be.
Why did he give the State of the Union in March? Historically it’s been a January event. But he’s given it in February in past years and this year pushed it out to March. Just curious.
I’m not a big watcher of state of the union addresses. But I thought what I saw was very political. Something like you would see at the convention. Is this the modern norm? To be political? Rather than give the “state of the union”
If confirmation bias is why you're deciding that polls have suddenly become more trustworthy, that's not great.
Lots can happen between now and then but I give Trump 65% odds to win.
Democrats. The Republicans are not united like the Dems and I see that as better, not great.
Certainly, ALL media has a agenda. And yes, you need to pull information from multiple sources like 1440 News Digest, and I do. That's why I posted IRS data on Trump's tax cuts, not some media outlet that would put a spin on it. How many illegals have crossed in, no one really knows. The "number" has been like 20M since the early 2000s and that is wrong as 20 years later more have crossed. Estimates are 10M with an unknown of got-aways and way too many bangers/criminals. Venezuela won't take them back? Fine. Fly over VZ with a C130 and parachute them out.
Trump said he had the most secure border ever. I do disagree about the "ever" (he embellishes WAY TOO MUCH) however what he was doing securing the Border against strong headwinds from Democrats, RINOs, Lobbyists, and "The Deep State" - The Bureaucracies that are dug in a like an Alabama Tick (to quote "Predator") and activist courts build over 30+ years - was going in the right direction.
What Biden talked about last night did not reflect what polls are consistently showing how the country see things. Illegal Immigration, Crime, Inflation, Direction The Country is Headed, No wonder he was yelling and angry - brow beating people into submission.
Biden is going to be like the Duke Brothers in "Trading Places" when they get the Margin Call at the end, and lose all their assets. And Ackroyd/Murphy will settle the bet for $1. Priceless.
There was so much contention with creating The US Constitution, it barely passed.
What we are seeing morphing today from the UN, Globalists, Soros, public schools/colleges, Democrats and RINOs is the same America we had with Great Britain -central control and rule. States have given up WAY to much power to the Federal Gov't, WAY TOO MUCH. Power and Control is like Crack to a junkie.
Polls are painting a radically different picture of what Americans are mad about compared to what we heard from POTUS last night. He disgraced himself with his retort on Laken ("Lincoln") Riley, and didn't talk about Illegal Immigration until 50% of the way into it.
What will we look like in 30 years, no idea. I just know the direction we are headed is not good based on what America was founded on. I have nothing to lose supporting Trump and new Republicans as I'm living the direction we are headed.
At the end of "John Carpenter's The Thing", MacReady and Childs are sitting in the snow with the station burning behind them. MacReady says, "Why don't we just wait here a little while? And see what happens." That's where we are today.
Iowa: Trump 51%, Haley 19%
Missouri: Trump 100%
Idaho: Trump: 85%
ND, AL, AR, CA, NC, OK, TN
Trump: 1,062 delegates
Haley (NOT Hailey): 91 delegates
Trump's margin: 92%
...TN, TX, AK, and IA (it was taking too long to type out specific results) all had Trump winning the primary/caucus with over 80% of the vote or Nikki losing with less than 25%. Do research before posting, don't just fabricate false data to bolster a false premise.
It would be fun to take some time this weekend to see how these numbers compare to his performance in 2016, and do the same for Joe's numbers compared to Hillary and Obama's. The point is that the excitement on the Republican side for Trump is far stronger than on the left for Joe. The actual track record of accomplishments and successes for Trump is also far stronger than Joe (who has no successes and accomplishments apart from destroying everything). The best and smartest thing Joe has done is to choose Kamala as his VP, and giving everyone who would invoke a competency clause or an impeachment pause for causing a worse situation than we already have.
Stupid
Two points of order:
1) Why did you make "brain's" possessive?
2) "Prevaricator" does not mean what you think it means.
Stupid is as stupid does, friend.
Biden was like an angry old man chasing people off his lawn. Sure, that was red meat to the majority of his voters. However, the next day at a Philly fundraiser, he became the Dementia Joe we have been seeing for 2 years. Whatever drugs he was on for SOTU wore off.
Four things Biden (or whomever wrote his political stump) blew:
1) Skrinkflation, no one cares about this at a SOTU that they are getting less "snickers" in their Snickers or fewer chips in the bag, and Shrinkflation does Biden a favor as it doesn't appear in the Inflation rate if the item is part of the Rate;
2) Funding for Ukraine - 85% of the war materials are sent from our military's supply and we buy fresh for our stockpile - Manufacturing Made In America would have scored a LOT of points with voters A LOT, like AeroVironment (Zombie Drone manufacturer in VT - can't make this up!) and Raytheon really happy, ie DONATIONS;
3) He said we have 2 enemies, Foreign (in reference to Russia attacking Ukraine), and Domestic (in reference to Republicans/Trump/83M voters) - that was stupid. People see the persecution of Trump, and the lack accountability with Biden over classified docs that were stashed in his garage with zero security, and how to explain all those flow-through LLC, money to The Big Guy, grandkids and family with no services to show for. If the SC denies "Complete Immunity for POTUS" (and they should), Biden could be held accountable after he leaves offices - stay tuned to you Bat Channel how this will play out.
4) Tax the wealthy! Pay their share! Well, Hunter committed tax fraud by not paying on Millions he took in and the Statute of Limitation just happen to expire plus the current tax thing in CA he is being prosecuted for. The LLC Biden had for his speeches and appearances he was paid for after he left office avoided a LOT of taxes by taking a bare minimum salary to avoid SS, Medicare and Medicaid taxes, and allowing the excess income to flow over to his personal return where he'd pay just personal State and Federal taxes. That's not a very good look.
Glad you liked it for an angry old white guy trying to chase the kids off his lawn.
Ronald Reagan said it best, "It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so."
