Takeaways from Biden’s State of the Union address

[candide]

More reactions from the "crazy". ????

 

"Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) was torn apart on Twitter after she seemed to forget that detail in a tweet about President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday.

“Hey Joe, YOU CLOSED THEM!” she tweeted, citing a line from Biden’s speech in which he said: “In the midst of the COVID crisis, when schools were closed and we were shutting down everything, let’s recognize how far we came in the fight against the pandemic itself.”

Maybe you've been vomiting for the last 2 years. That could explain why you don't know about the huge bills that the Biden got passed into law.

Right, you mean the bills that are crippling America with debt, the one that had so many pages that nobody could read in time, the one where all you Dems. jumped on board with a handful of Rino's. Biden if he was in charge which he's not is trying to destroying America. It's a shame you can't see this but one day you will.

Not sure why Republicans point at Biden's age. Republican Senator Charles Ernest Grassley is 89!

And he doesn't look a DAY over 95.

You think Biden is trying to destroy America?  You are really deep down the rabbit hole.

They don't control the military or the nuclear weapons, so their age is irrelevant.

Good luck with that approach.  I pointed out that Trump was in no way qualified to possess the nuclear codes in 2016, but too many people didn't listen.

Well, whatever you may think of those bills, their existence certainly refutes your claim of a "do nothing" administration. And Biden & co.did raise taxes, although, the 2 DINOs managed to slash them. Not one Republican voted in favor of raising taxes. The same people who enthusiastically supported the Trump era tax cuts.

And I have to respect the effort it must have taken you to come up with this nonsensical sentence: 

"Biden if he was in charge which he's not is trying to destroying America."

This begs the question: do you read the stuff you write before you post it?

I thought Bidens speech was great, and that is echoed in other publications around the world that I have read.

 

You are probably right that the country is far too broken to listen to the great points in his speech, and sadly the Republicans and supporters thereof still pander after the lies and deceit of the former president, and as can easily be seen, the GOP is in one helluva mess and it is by their doing that the country is in this state.
 

Obviously, that would depend on one's political bias. I have the opposite opinion and think he had nothing to offer except rhetoric. The Dems and the GOP are IMO just two sides of the same coin and each as useless as the other.

Donald Trump had a positive reaction to Biden's SOTU speech...

 

“Look, he worked hard tonight, it’s not a natural thing for him, it never was, and never will be, but you’ve got to give him credit for trying. I disagree with him on most of his policies, but he put into words what he felt, and he ended up the evening far stronger than he began. Give him credit for that,” Trump said in a Truth Social post where he shared his official rebuttal."

I'm genuinely surprised by that.  Are we sure it was Donald Trump who posted it?

if only the Don would pay up the taxes he owes, like the majority of the country, the deficit would not look so bad. Claiming you're extra smart by cheating taxes, should make any GOP'er ashamed to mention the deficit.

agree but it would as biden pointed out also be good if the top corps pay at least 15% tax on their record profits and the top 1% paid something approaching a reasonable amount rather than getting even more tax cuts..

 

....why people keep voting in repubs who provide so little to the average person but lots to the richest of the rich demonstrates that people do not pay attention or they are so blinded by fox and all their conspiracy theories that they don't realize that they are not part of the 1% ....If the top 1% paid the same rate as a secretary who does not have an army of accountants and lawyers and shell companies that would be a start...and would it really really change what the 1% has for breakfast tomorrow....they have more $$ than any sane normal person could spend in a dozen lifetimes...but the repubs still pushing that same old tired trickle down garbage that has been proven over and over and over to be a myth....

Big difference with the GOP and the new brand phenomenon AKA MAGA. If MAGA was not so powerful, prolific, loved, FEARED why does Biden's deep state and weaponized FBI, DOJ pester Trump...24/7...non-stop. But, now it's slow Joe's turn, watch for updates from Comer and Congress.

Why does thee FBI and DOJ "pester" someone who held thousands of government documents, many of them highly classified, and refused to return them?  Because it's their job.

 

Afghanistan was a debacle created by President George Bush, made worse by Trump's cut and run peace plan, and ended by Biden.

It was the Trump admnistration that negotiated a May 31, 2021 pullout of all U.S. troops.

It was the Trump administration that reduced US troop levels by 44%.

It was the Trump administration that agreed to release of 5000 Talibani prisoners.

The problem is that those Maga folks think they are powerful and loved (now that's hilarious) but in reality they are snowflakes and sidelined by voters and did very poorly at the polls. Their Maga policies are detest by the majority.

How long did it take the Tea Party to fade in the review mirror, eventually the MAGA cult will also.....

[dotcalm]

There were 12 or 13 servicemen killed due to Biden's incompetence in his failed Afghan withdrawal. Just another one of his mega failures. He's useless and pathetic

Well here's a story for you since you truly love your hero.

And then one that pretty much sums up the MAGA Crowd

and well another

So saying Biden is half stupid means that he is at least better than your hero who follows only himself and not his seated leadership.
