It was a great speech, detailing the major differences between Biden and trump:

 

---Biden actually gets things done, trump only has slogans and empty promises (like Mexico paying for a wall that was never built)

---Biden wants to protect freedoms, trump wants to take freedoms away, especially women's freedom

 

trumpers can bark all they want, offering nothing as is their norm, but rather than shout 'gaslighting' or some other silly rant, they can check official USG websites to show that what Biden detailed as accomplishments are fact.

 

https://www.yahoo.com/news/state-union-address-transcript-read-030211757.html

 

From the transcript we can see:

 

Biden inherited the trump Recession; the economy is going gangbusters now, the highest growth since the Clinton years.

 

"15 million new jobs in 3 years

A record 16 million Americans are starting small businesses and each one is an act of hope.

800,000 new manufacturing jobs in America and counting.

More people have health insurance today than ever before.

The racial wealth gap is the smallest it’s been in 20 years.

Wages keep going up and inflation keeps coming down!

Inflation has dropped from 9% to 3% – the lowest in the world!"

 

The cost of insulin for seniors---many of whom are overweight trumpers---has dropped from $400/month to $35/month

 

The infrastructure is being rebuilt, as opposed to trump's endless Infrastructure Weeks that never happened

 

Getting the Chips Act passed means new chip plants (with jobs paying over $100,000 per year) are being built in the US, the first new chip plants in decades, and making the US less dependent on unstable supply chains.

 

Biden noted that he worked out a bipartisan border and immigration Bill with conservative Senate Republicans, a Bill that would add funding to securing the border, hiring more agents, hiring Immigration officers, installing drug detection equipment, etc., but in the end Repubs blocked it. And why?

 

"I’m told my predecessor called Republicans in Congress and demanded they block the bill. He feels it would be a political win for me and a political loser for him."---from the transcript

 

Another key point from the transcript:

 

"The year before I took office, murders went up 30% nationwide the biggest increase in history.

That was then.

Now, through my American Rescue Plan, which every Republican voted against, I’ve made the largest investment in public safety ever.

Last year, the murder rate saw the sharpest decrease in history, and violent crime fell to one of the lowest levels in more than 50 years."

 

Then there's the rebuilt NATO, the entity standing up against putin's heinous aggression in Ukraine. Finland is now a member, and just yesterday, Sweden joined. Putin want's NATO to fail. So does trump.

 

Biden has major accomplishment and a detailed outline (read the transcript) for the future. trump has only slogans and vindictiveness.

 

 

Bored with the SOS emoji.

Except Biden just delivered an excellent speech.

 

No. Slurred excusing and vote buying, virtue signaling, dog whistling, divisiveness from an angry old man. Disrespected SCOTUS, condoned illegality. He's in trouble in more ways than one. Don't be fooled by the canned applause track.

Republicans need to ditch the grifter, rid themselves of the hate filled extremists and get back the Republican values that Regan represented.

 

 

Dims first. We're at a point where we have to have a Repub thug to fight leftist thuggery permeating the administrative state, media, tech, education, and favored corporations. The good news for you is that Trump tends not be very effective, hamstrung as he is and tripping over his own ego. Dims have increased his appeal by all the persecution, so it's likely he can get elected. A number of Repubs would be more effective and a lot less annoying, but none seems to have enough charisma to get elected. Dims in the same situation. They really only got Biden. Nobody likes Harris, Newsome made too big of mess of CA and is a kind of slick car salesman no one really likes. Etc. So it goes.

I just want to see Biden debating Donald Trump but I understand Biden's people are doing everything possible to avoid that. I wonder why.

How was it massively effective? other than proving he could do what most 12 years olds could- reading somebody else's words off an auto cue, without making a total mess of it. Came across as what he is, an angry somewhat confused old man out of his depth.

They spent months working on it

So the millions that have streamed across the border in the past 3 years is all made up then and it got so bad none were moved onto democrat sanctuary cities who soon started to complain, all made up as well, even though they are on film 😄

Johnson clearly approved of at least some of the speech, nodding approval, clapping and on occasion standing to clap.

 

 

You did watch the speech didn’t you?

 

If you had watched properly and not constantly played with your beach ball, you would have noticed that Johnson clapped very sparingly, interspaced with regular but disparaging facial winces of disagreement and disgust.

i’ve never been a ‘sanitary worker’ but if I’d see nothing wrong with having done hard and socially important work.

Why would anyone vote for Republicans who want to cut Social Security and Medicare?

But he wants weak Biden and they don't seem to be cooperating. Anyway all the Hillary-led Russian hoaxing no longer works. Mueller and Durham did it in, sorry.

 

Now it's just hate Trump for being Trump. Demonization is all they really got, given Biden's record and senility.

I did watch very attentively.

 

I saw Johnson’s response and demeanor throughout.

 

I wonder if MAGA have been in touch yet?

 

They will be.

Weak Biden who just spoke directly on the matter of supporting Ukraine.

The man doesn't matter, because he has a team that will do the right thing anyway, and I'm not saying that to disparage Biden, but it's the program people will be voting for.

 

I'm disparaging Biden's speech, the topic here, in view of all the forum hosannas.

Note that you can't, or won't, read in depth but simple disparage the source, as our leftist trolls always do. It's the reason you don't really know anything, just reading headlines from CNN, MSNBC, and paying close attention to the brilliant ladies on The View.

Same with Trump. It's when he goes off script that he gets in trouble.
