Biden's state of the union

Biden's state of the union
“We are not going to have a military war with Russia with US troops, and he thinks it’s vitally important and first and foremost important to be direct with the public about that,” Psaki told MSNBC.

Tonight Joe Biden will give his first State of the Union Address. He will have not a single thing that he can brag about to main stream America. The radical left may be happy with the things he has done, but it has hurt most Americans. His first year in office produced the worst inflation in 40 years, the worst violent crime in 25 years, the highest gas prices in 7 years, the most illegal border crossings ever recorded, and then there was the deadly, disgraceful surrender in Afghanistan. He will have to speak tonight as his approval rating is hitting new lows as Americans complain of rising prices and international instability. BTW, Americans disapprove of everything he has done.

So what will he talk about tonight?

Will he talk about the war in Europe, the very one that could also have been caused by his weakness and ineptitude?

One could easily point to Joe Biden as the cause of all these crisis. Of course he gave us no indication during the 2020 campaign that he would be a radical extremist. Most of those who voted for him either voted based on party affiliation and a ballot delivered to their door or they simply hated Trump. I'd say those are the worst among us. I think 2021 is the proof that I'm right.

What say you?

There is one thing I'm sure he will talk about (or should I say that his handlers will script for him) is his sanctions of Russia, yet, in reality, they have been too little, too late. He has intentionally avoided sanctioning Vladimir Putin’s energy industry, which is funding the invasion and propping up the entire regime.



So what will he say tonight?

Here is what Dana Perino expects:

" President Biden  got news today that the ABC  poll  has him at 37% approval. That is what he is looking at. It's just not that Americans have an opinion about him, they have formed a judgment. It was a very high bar for him to clear anyway. I expect that you will see grace notes, some attempts at unity, and he'll be able to introduce to America again his  Supreme Court  nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, who had a pretty good rollout the other day. Now that said, Jesse, imagine you and your sister played monopoly all weekend. You got all the pieces out on the board and everything is going very well and then the neighbor kid comes over and kicks the board over. That's basically what  Vladimir Putin  did to the State of the Union speech. "

I'm going to take a page from the Nancy Pelosi book. I'm ripping up his speech before he makes it.

I'm not wasting my time!

Will Mitch McConnell stand behind Biden and rip a copy of the speech in half like a certain petty somebody else did during Trump's last State of The Union speech? That would be interesting.

There is one thing I'm sure he will talk about ... is his sanctions of Russia

Sanctions that were already in place but lifted within his 1st week in office.

It seems that the Bumbling Baboon is attempting to activate the National Guard from various states to "protect the capital".  Reality is it makes him look like the dictator, I think he wishes he could be. 

I'm sure the NG will be treated as badly as they were a year ago.

He will take credit for both the pandemic and his "leadership" in the Ukraine.  He will pick everything that he can't spin as a success (inflation shows how strong the economy is, etc. )and blame someone/something else for his failures in policy and leadership.  I remember in the business world you were held accountable for results, not excuses why you couldn't get things done.

I will give credit to Biden for one thing around the Ukraine Crisis.  The Intelligence agencies workup on the leadup to this was correct and Biden did declassify it and release it to the public so that every trick that Russia pulled was already known was coming.  Other than that...

Wonder if he's gonna crow about the agreement to release from the national reserves.  Between European allies and the US, it's agreed that there will be 60 million barrels released. The US alone will release 30 million barrels.  Only real problem is that average daily consumption in the US is just over 18 million barrels, so this isn't even 2 days worth.  The national reserves don't hold enough oil to really make a difference here.  We would be much better served if this administration would bring back some of the Trump energy policies and open things up again. But they seem to be driven by the extreme left so they can't do that.

When I was a kid, our neighbor raised, trained and worked blue heelers. I loved helping him work his cattle, because I loved watching his dogs work. I asked him, one day, how he got his dogs to listen so well. His reply was shocking and didn't make sense to me. He said that he choked his dogs, until they passed out, then he would sit, holding and petting them until they woke up. After that, they'd do anything, according to him, because he was the person that saved them.

I left it there. I still don't know if he was joking or not. But, I couldn't wrap my head around the idea when I was young. Now, I realize that I am, and have been, watching this practice day in and out, but with people. Bastards that are choking us, are the same ones claiming they are our saviors. It's all political theater, and we take in every show.

Predictions are fun.  Let's make some and see how close they are.  Yes, all of these are IMOs but not necessarily IHMOs.

IMO #1:  The overarching themes will be freedom and autocrats.

IMO #2:  Biden will open with Ukraine and portray that as a global forward march of freedom.  Ukraine will be an obvious rallying point that will garner applause.  Biden will highlight the dangers of autocrats.  And Biden will sprinkle in a lot of items that emphasizes he ain't Trump; which was his main campaign promise.

IMO #3:  Biden will claim the pandemic is over.  The timing of states lifting mandates hasn't been coincidental.  Biden will list accomplishments and make the case that he performed better than expected.  Expect Biden to announce a target date for lifting Federal mandates and restrictions.

IMO #4:  Biden will address the economy in terms of unemployment numbers and will make the case that Biden's green initiatives are creating jobs and expanding business.  Biden will likely make allusions to autocrats around the world creating uncertainty that is hampering the economy.  Biden will begin a indirect narrative that Xi Jinping is an autocrat in the same mold as Vladimir Putin.  And Biden will highlight how big government has avoided dire economic consequences.

IMO #5:  Biden will likely spend some time on a meandering recital of typical Democratic cultural and racial demagoguery.  Nominating the first Black woman to the Supreme Court is obvious red meat for the Democratic base.  

IMO #6:  Biden will close with uplifting language about freedom and the dangers of autocrats.  The emphasis will be global cooperation and avoiding a 'go it alone' approach.

Can Biden ever hope to reach the soaring rhetoric of Kamela Harris trying to explain Ukraine to listeners of a black radio station:

"Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine so basically that’s wrong."

I just watched his speech live..  Contrary to the belief of a few here I was able to watch it.  I saw Mitch McConnell stone face throughout.  Biden will be lucky to be allowed to accomplish any of his wishes to get the USA back on track again because the Republicans won't let him do it, especially because blocking such accomplishments and benefits for Americans might prevent Biden gaining favour for the Democrats at the midterms.  Welcome to American politics.

In an extraordinary breach of decorum, Rep.  Lauren Boebert  (R-Colo.) yelled out at  President Biden  during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, accusing him of putting American troops in coffins.

Biden was in the midst of discussing how many American troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan developed cancer from exposure to toxic smoke from massive burn pits.

"A cancer that would put them in a flag-draped coffin," Biden said. "I know —"

Agreed, she should have kept her mouth shut rather than yell out when she did.  There's a time and place for this and IMO it's not during a SOTU speech.  It can be done after.

Secondly when she & MTG started to shout out "Build the Wall" when Biden mentioned that immigration needs to be fixed.  Yes, this administration has made a huge mess of things at the southern border but again not during the SOTU speech.  

Save that shit for your rebuttal to the speech.  Don't make an ass out of  yourself.  I'm sorry this habit of shouting out loud to attack the president was ever started.

And of course there was the Iranian instead of Ukrainian gaffe.

"Putin may circle Kyiv with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people,"
