Jacked-up Joe
He was late for his State of the Union address last night, but that may have been because there were pro-Palestinian protestors along the route. When he finally did get to the House chamber Joe Biden delivered what was clearly the most divisive speech in the history of the State of the Union address. It didn't take long to realize that the speech was aimed specifically at the far left of the democrat party. The very people the Biden camping are worried about. The speech checked every box that progressives wanted checked and even tossed a few bombs.
The speech touched on Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, the economy, reproductive rights, prescription drug costs and border security. The speech was delivered rapid fire and Biden was shouting throughout as if he was advised to show some energy, instead he seemed angry. The democrat members of congress applauded everything he said including his swipe at the SCOTUS, which was another new low for a president. I was very proud of Speaker Mike Johnson who sat most of the night behind the president, just shaking his head.
As to the points Biden tried to make, many were untrue or without context. Biden claimed that under his leadership “wages keep going up,” but over the over the past three years, wages are down when adjusted for inflation. He also claimed that the more recent U.S. inflation rate of about 3% is the “lowest in the world!” But several nations reported lower rates than the U.S. in December. He also claimed to have “cut the federal deficit by over one trillion dollars,” although declining deficits have mostly been the result of expiring emergency pandemic spending. He claimed that he had created a “record” 15 million new jobs. His 14.8 million new jobs is a record for any president in the first three years, but it’s not the highest job growth rate that any president has achieved in that period of time. He omitted context of a Trump comment following an Iowa school shooting. He also claimed that he was “cutting our carbon emissions in half by 2030.” That’s the U.S. goal, relative to 2005 emissions, but studies suggest current policies will not reduce emissions by that much.
Then there was his childish interaction with Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene kept chanting "say her name," in reference to Laken Riley, a nursing student from Georgia killed by an undocumented immigrant, whom Biden never mentions. The Biden team was prepared. Next to the podium was a piece of paper with her name on it. Biden in mid-sentence looked at Greene, picked up whatever it was and misread the name, calling the victim Lincoln Riley and sadly adding "How many have been killed by legals?" It was another low point for the State of the Union.
For those interested in who wrote the divisive election speech:
His name is Vinay Reddy
It was a terrible night for the nation and whether the Biden campaign knows it or not, they didn't calm voters about the age question, nor did they persuade anyone on the all-important immigration crisis. What they may have accomplished was mending a few fences with the far left of their own party.

Good morning
From last night's "speech:"
"A future where the days of trickle-down economics are over and the wealthy and biggest corporations no longer get all the breaks.
I grew up in a home where not a lot trickled down on my Dad’s kitchen table."
I guess it was Hunter Biden who put food on the table in the end.
As we've all seen, this clown can't remember where he grew up.
We are still trying to figure that out...was it PA or Delaware...was it amongst Puerto Ricans or in an old Black Protestant Church?
If you listened, he was born in Scranton PA ( in 1942 ) but the elder Biden moved the family to Clayton Delaware
(in 1953).
Yes, you should listen. HE made the claim he was raised amongst Puerto Ricans and attended an old Black Protestant Church.
Or did you forget that?
Don't forget attending Mass almost daily and also squeezing in time to attend synagogues.
Young Joe was amazing!
I wonder if he carried a bottle of hot sauce when he went to the black church.
What's amazing is that the Bidenistas are actually gullible to believe anything the senile clown says.
It is no longer amazing, now it is just sick.
Mental capability deficiency? Don't they have medication for that now?
Did you forget that the topic was the SOTU? What does that have to with what he said 2 years ago? 20 years ago?
I don't care what bad jokes Joe tells when he's politicking and pandering to the rabbi's or black ministers or when he's in Puerto Rico announcing $60 million in storm relief funds, his comments are almost always met with laughter by the target group, because they understand context.
Context and behavior matter.
Because he's still passing off those lies TODAY and you all, as a good little lemmings, still believe them and make excuses for him.
And a very poor guess it would be, seeing how Joe Biden moved out of his father's home in 1965
and Hunter wasn't born until 1970.
Flapjacks anyone?
because there were pro-Palestinian protestors along the rout
they weren’t arrested. But the gold star dad who criticized Biden was.
A surprise to nobody.
The father of a Marine killed, in handcuffs:
As the hate filled pro-Palestinians held up Biden because Biden didn't want to confront them.
We all know there are two separate standards of justice now.
Biden’s so Brazen about he he can demand others pay “their fair share” while his DOJ let his son escape hundreds of thousands in tax liability by intentionally letting statute of limitations expire.
That was the first thing I thought of when I heard him say it.
It's pathetic that this mans son was killed as a result Biden's disastrous retreat from Afghanistan.
I'm with those families:
As Mr Biden left Dover Air Force Base after meeting families who had just received the bodies of their loved ones from Kabul airport, one woman screamed: “I hope you burn in hell! That was my brother!”
‘Burn in hell!’: Biden faces criticism from families of 13 soldiers killed in Kabul airport attack (yahoo.com)
And this....
What a Gold Star Mom Said About Joe Biden Left This CNN Anchor Speechless (townhall.com)
That was the same day that he spent more time checking his fucking watch than honoring those killed wasn't it?
One was in the building, the others...not so much.
The MAGAs are licking their wounds today...
Wounds from what? Traitor Joes misinformation riddled speech?
Wrong! MAGA can't handle Joe's truths!
Now, as the article does, put it all in context.
CNN poll finds most of its viewers viewed Biden's speech positively.
We call them "the indoctrinated."
His positive numbers have gone down every SOTU. This was his lowest yet, and the 35% who had a “very positive” reaction was the second lowest in cnn’s history of polling these.
At least we have some idea of how many are inspired by a lot of anger & shouting.
I supposed he'll take a few days off now to dry out from whatever he was on.
"Joe's truth's"
Another leftist euphemism for lying.
That's all that was needed to read to know it's fictitious.
I'm sure it was something he got from Hunter. At least somebody in the family will know what the detox time is.
How informed can their viewers be?
I assume it was the crack left in the White House. You know, the crack that nobody could figure out how it got there.
You've seen them
Makes sense.
But after the state of the union we all know where it went.
Even Hannity said that Biden was sharp.
Thought none of you watched / listened to Fox.
Maybe they tire occasionally of the Pablum being served by CNN, MSNBC, and the late night comedians.
I follow Hannity on X for the laughs.
earth to earth 2 -
are you okay ?
Brandonistas still living in their own alternate world where inflation is low, wages are high, gas prices are low but Americans are switching to electric everything anyways, the border is closed, illegal immigrants aren't an issue anywhere, Ukraine is winning the war, Brandon is bringing peace to the ME, Xi and Brandon are planning on a Kumbaya world tour, and the US legal system is just.
Oh, and Brandon is universally loved making it an easy win in 2024.
I'll have whatever Johns been drinking.
The question is will you be?
Not that it is anything unusual but it seems that last night's presentation was less a report on the State of the Union and more a campaign speech that the DNC didn't have to pay for
Before that speech, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy predicted that it would be a campaign speech. He also noted that there would be bait for the Republicans in attendance and that Republicans should resist the temptation to respond. I think the current Speaker did a fairly good job of keeping the troops in line.
it was odd that the only time he went off script was to tell MTG that the head coach of USC was killed by an illegal
They had that badge or whatever it was ready for him. He even bungled that.
MTG advertised what she was going to do.
A "cue card" so he can remember her name
And still got it wrong
Did Large Marge show dick pics of Hunter Biden again?
Or tell someone to fuck off?
Not every SOTU is a campaign speech but Biden isn't the only guilty one.
Your cronies were literally chanting "four more years" at the 2020 SOTU before Trump could get a word in.
Then the campaign speech began....
That's fantastic isn't it? LOLOL
Look at all the free time that the former 'president' gets on his revenge and retribution 'campaign' tour that's been going on for how many years now? Since he lost BIGLY?
Truth Social crashed during the SOTU...
Seems as though Trump could fuck up a one-car funeral.
So?
Supposedly they wore white for what they call "reproductive freedom."
The color of death is black.
The party that demands women support them as a condition of their women-hood is mad their leader insulted the brutal murderer of a 20 year old woman. They really are the party of death.
In this case killing off a future generation.
What i found most interesting last night was, that Biden felt comfortably threatening the supreme court. Talk about a wannabe dictator.
They want unlimited abortion nationalized. As Biden said, all they need do is get a super majority democrat congress and they can make it a national law.
In the meantime, the SCOTUS did its job. Abortion is not mentioned in the Constitution.
And there is nothing they can do if the supreme court rules that their national law is unconstitutional, hence the overt threat to the justices. playball or else.
Nonsense, Biden called for Roe to be reinstated but by Congress.
Neither were voting rights for women or non landowning men, or nuclear energy or weapons.
Don't you think we have to move past the trope that "it isn't in the Constitution" or the 27 Amendments?
For all his talk about restoring norms and institutions, Biden’s done nothing but take a blow torch to them. He’s a progressive jihadist demanding submission to the god of intersectionality.
His latest political stunt will put American military personnel at risk to install a temporary pier off the Gaza coast. As any rational person should know by now, everything that goes in ends up in the hands of Hamas. This is being done to placate the left wing of his party.
Build a port for Hamas, ignore the border.
Biden/Harris 2024.
the republicans party is in its greatest state of disarray since the half breed/stalwarts factional fighting and have their most unpopular leader ever yet could well the presidency and congress in a few months. Never has a party been so fortunate in its enemies.
They know not what they have done!
You didn't listen to a word he said, did you?
The reaction:
Trump , who has the mental stability of a two legged stool , posted this on his truth social page last night during the speech
Stop the nonsense, John. Look at what Biden did to this country.
In the spirit of goodwill I'm temporarily refraining from commenting on the ridiculous seeded article
Partisans can't see what Biden has done.
After all, CNN and MSNBC have been touting Biden for over 4 years now and almost all the late night comedians are pro-Biden, so what else do you think they ever see or hear?
Have you ever noticed that the left loves anger, shouting and violence?
Last night they got 2 out of 3.
Only when they're doing it.
Biden's Team should have let Jeff Dunham and Walter do the SOTU speech last night.
Would have been better!
I'm sure of that, but part of the reason we saw Biden on steroids is because they wanted to show he wasn't old & feeble. So out he came with nostrils flaring and blatantly lying all the way through. He has to be in a state of withdrawal today.
The shoe is seldom on the other foot.
Put me down for that. I only wish Joe Biden had considered it last night.
Ok, let's compare job creations, trump vs. Biden...
<crickets>
4 years ago we had mobile morgues but no toilet paper...
The first time I haven't seen the former 'president's' rectum of a mouth spewing it's usual verbal diarrhea
It's ironic really given that trump explicitly told republicans to reject the border deal so he could campaign on it, then turns around and.....campaigns on it... But most republicans are too fucking dumb to see that they are being played by their own messiah.
What's really ironic is that Biden is ONLY mildly concerned about the border now because of poll numbers, and sycophantic Democrats have lapped it up like ice cream!
Democrats aren't serious about border security.
U.S. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Alabama, offered the Republican Party’s response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Thursday:
"My name is Katie Britt, and I have the honor of serving the people of the great state of Alabama in the United States Senate.
However, that’s not the job that matters most.
I’m a proud wife and mom of two school-aged kids. My daughter, Bennett, and my son, Ridgeway, are why I ran for the Senate.
I am worried about their future – and the future of children in every corner of our nation. That’s why I invited you into our home tonight.
Like so many families across America, my husband, Wesley, and I just watched President Biden’s State of the Union Address from our living room. What we saw was the performance of a permanent politician who has actually been in office for longer than I’ve even been alive.
One thing was clear though: President Biden just doesn’t get it. He’s out of touch. Under his Administration, families are worse off. Our communities are less safe, and our country is less secure.
I just wish he understood what real families are facing around kitchen tables just like this one.
This is where our family has tough conversations and where we make hard decisions. It’s where we share the good, the bad, and the ugly of our days. It’s where we laugh together. It’s where we hold each other’s hands and pray for God’s guidance. And, many nights, to be honest, it’s where Wesley and I worry.
I know we’re not alone. Tonight, the American family needs to have a tough conversation, because the truth is, we’re all worried about the future of our nation.
The country we know and love seems to be slipping away. It feels like the next generation will have fewer opportunities – and less freedom – than we did. I worry my own children may not even get a shot at living their American Dreams.
My American Dream allowed me, the daughter of two small business owners from rural Enterprise, Alabama, to be elected to the U.S. Senate at the age of 40.
Growing up sweeping the floor at my dad’s hardware store and cleaning the bathroom at my mom’s dance studio, I never could have imagined what my story would entail.
To think about what the American Dream can do across just one generation, in just one lifetime, is truly breathtaking.
But right now, the American Dream has turned into a nightmare for so many families.
The true, unvarnished State of our Union begins and ends with this: Our families are hurting. Our country can do better.
And you don’t have to look any further than the crisis at our southern border to see it. President Biden inherited the most secure border of all-time. But minutes after taking office, he suspended all deportations, halted construction of the border wall, and announced a plan to give amnesty to millions.
We know that President Biden didn’t just create this border crisis. He invited it with 94 executive actions in his first 100 days.
When I first took office, I did something different. I traveled to the Del Rio sector of Texas, where I spoke to a woman who shared her story with me. She had been sex trafficked by the cartels starting at age 12. She told me not just that she was raped every day, but how many times a day she was raped.
The cartels put her on a mattress in a shoe-box of a room, and they sent men through that door, over and over again, for hours and hours on-end.
We wouldn’t be OK with this happening in a third-world country. This is the United States of America, and it’s past time we start acting like it.
President Biden’s border crisis is a disgrace. It’s despicable. And it’s almost entirely preventable.
From fentanyl poisonings to horrific murders… There are empty chairs tonight at kitchen tables just like this one because of President Biden’s senseless border policies.
Just think about Laken Riley. In my neighboring state of Georgia, this beautiful, 22-year-old nursing student went out on a jog one morning. But she never got the opportunity to return home. She was brutally murdered by one of the millions of illegal border crossers President Biden chose to release into our homeland.
That could’ve been my daughter. It could’ve been yours.
But tonight, President Biden finally said her name. But he refused to take responsibility for his own actions.
Mr. President, enough is enough. Innocent Americans are dying. And you only have yourself to blame. Fulfill your oath of office. Reverse your policies. End this crisis. And stop the suffering.
Sadly, we know President Biden’s failures don’t stop there.
His reckless spending dug our economy into a hole and sent the cost-of-living through the roof.
The worst inflation in 40 years. The highest credit card debt in history.
Hardworking families are struggling to make ends meet today. And with soaring mortgage rates and sky-high childcare costs, they’re also struggling to plan fortomorrow.
The American people are scraping by while the President proudly proclaims Bidenomics is working!
Bless his heart. We know better.
I’ll never forget stopping at a gas station in Chilton County one evening. The gentleman working the counter told me that after retiring, he had to pick up that job in his 70s so he didn’t have to choose between going hungry or going without his medication. He said, “I did everything right, everything I was told to do – I worked hard, I saved, I was responsible.”
He’s not alone. I hear similar concerns from fellow parents when I’m walking with my friends or at one my kids’ games.
But let’s be honest – it’s been a minute since Joe Biden pumped gas, ran carpool, or pushed a grocery cart. Meanwhile, the rest of us see every day that our dollar doesn’t go as far.
And despite what he tells you, our communities are not safer.
For years, the left has coddled criminals and defunded the police – all while letting repeat offenders walk free.
The result is tragic but foreseeable—from our small towns to America’s most iconic city streets, life is getting more and more dangerous.
Unfortunately, President Biden’s weakness isn’t just hurting families here at home. He’s making us a punchline on the world stage.
Where I’m from, your word is your bond. But for three years, this President has demonstrated that America’s word doesn’t mean what it used to.
From abandoning allies in his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan… to desperately pushing another dangerous deal with Iran, President Biden has failed.
We’ve become a nation in retreat. And the enemies of freedom see an opportunity.
Putin’s brutal aggression in Europe has put our allies on the brink.
Iran’s terrorist proxies have slaughtered Israeli Jews and American citizens. They’ve targeted commercial shipping. And they’ve attacked our troops nearly 200 times since October, killing three U.S. soldiers and two Navy SEALS.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party is undercutting America’s workers. China is buying up our farmland, spying on our military installations, and spreading propaganda through the likes of TikTok.
The CCP knows that if it conquers the minds of our next generation, it conquers America.
And what does President Biden do? He bans TikTok for government employees, but creates an account for his own campaign. Y’all, you can’t make this stuff up!
Look, we all recall when Presidents faced national security threats with strength and resolve.
That seems like ancient history. Right now, our Commander in Chief is not in command.
The free world deserves better than a dithering and diminished leader.
America deserves leaders who recognize that secure borders, stable prices, safe streets, and a strong defense are the cornerstones of a great nation.
Just ask yourself, are you better off now than you were three years ago?
There is no doubt we’re at a crossroads. We all feel it.
But here’s the good news: we the People are still in the driver’s seat. We get to decide whether our future will grow brighter, or whether we settle for an America in decline.
Well, I know which choice our children deserve – and the choice the Republican Party is fighting for.
We are the Party of hardworking parents and families. We want to give you and your children the opportunities to thrive – and we want families to grow. It’s why we strongly support continued nationwide access to invitro fertilization. We want to help loving moms and dads bring precious life into this world. Wesley and I believe there is no greater blessing in life than our children.
And that’s why tonight, I want to make a direct appeal to the parents out there – and in particular, to my fellow moms.
Many of whom will be tossing and turning at 2 a.m. wondering how they are going to be three places at once tomorrow and somehow still get dinner on the table.
First of all, we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.
I know you’re frustrated. I know you’re probably disgusted by most of what you see going on in Washington. And I’ll be really honest with you – you’re not wrong for feeling that way.
Look, I get it. The task in front of us isn’t an easy one. But I can promise you one thing: it is worth it. So, I am asking you, for the sake of your kids and your grandkids, get into the arena.
Every generation has been called to do hard things. American greatness rests in the fact that we always answer that call.
It’s who we are.
Never forget, we’re steeped in the blood of patriots who overthrew the most powerful empire in the world.
We walk in the footsteps of pioneers who tamed the wild.
We now carry forward the same flame of freedom as the liberators of an oppressed Europe.
We continue to draw courage from those who bent the moral arc of the universe.
And when we gaze upon the heavens, never forget that our DNA contains the same ingenuity that put man on the Moon.
America has been tested before, and every single time, we’ve emerged unbowed and unbroken.
Our history has been written with the grit of men and women who got knocked down. But we know their stories because they did not stay down. We are here because they stood back up.
So now it’s our turn — our moment to stand up and prove ourselves worthy of protecting the American Dream.
Together, we can reawaken the heroic spirit of a great nation.
Because America — we don’t just have a rendezvous with destiny – we take destiny’s hand, and we lead it.
Our future starts around kitchen tables just like this. With moms and dads just like you.
And you are why I believe with every fiber of my being that despite the current State of our Union, our best days are still ahead.
May God bless you, and may God continue to bless these United States of America."

Didn't we once have a female member from Alabama?
Seriously John, an opinion piece?
I thought she was a good counterbalance to Biden's shouting and anger. She was both soft and strong.
While she was a good counterbalance to how Biden delivered, she did not grab my attention. I felt she was too soft and too vague in areas where she should have hit back harder. IMO it was not the best rebuttal the Republicans could have had.
Fair enough. Maybe too emotional as well.
It was all nothing but lies.
Seriously Vic, isn't this 'article' an 'opinion' piece?
And how the hell is it Biden's fault what my credit card balances are?
Ain't that something how EVERYTHING is the fault of President Biden, even my credit card balance?
Someone should have been doing a blow by blow of that 'performance' and a fact check/nothing BUT lies like the former 'president' was going to do during President Biden's SOTU
You want to explain how that is in any way a reply to my comment? Where in 9.2.2 did I say ANYTHING was Biden's fault? Is it in the hidden words that only a select few can see?
You commented on her unimpressive soft speech filled with vague accusations and exaggerations
one of which was about credit card debt.
SHE blamed Biden for everything except the air quality
and even managed a true Southern "Bless you heart" jab.
I apologize for thinking my meaning obvious.
Seems that a lot of Republicans thought that she did a terrible job.
Republicans Baffled By Katie Britt's State Of The Union Response: 'One Of Our Biggest Disasters' | State Of The Union Address |
I thought that her being in the kitchen was a nice touch, kind of fitting the conservative mantra, barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.
What moron in the republican party chooses the kitchen for her?
Tommy Tubbyville did even more damage than sticking poor Katie in front of a $70K kitchen
by saying she's just a housewife from AL.
and he's just an ex- college football coach
OMG!
Whoever did that to Katie should be taken out back and dealt with in the usual manner. All that was lacking was an extra bucket for guest tears.
...the IQ of a turnip, but I'm pretty so the GOP put me out here...."
Can’t argue any of that. And she was kind enough to ignore that Biden couldn’t even get her name right.
I like that she used the Obama reasoning:
That could’ve been my daughter.
[deleted]
Could you let trump know Obama isn't the POTUS? He seems confused.
Doubt that he takes calls from NT’s,.
The idiot didn't even say her name correctly.
The ignorant bastard couldn't get a simple name right WHILE READING IT.
Those who were there:
Faces of men in the midst of knowing they're in the process of having their asses handed to thm.
look at the suits - they are paying homage to their master
The screeching is over. Today we can look forward to peace and quiet.
Just remember: noise pollution is more than a nuisance.
Peace, my friends.
I'll be back later.

Is there anything funnier than Bidenistas pushing the insane theory that Joe is just an average working man?
The man has spent almost his entire life in politics.
He has much in common with average Americans as Trump does.
Translation: "Joe kicked our ass"
And anyone trying to save face for Katie Britt, probably missed her soon-to-be-a-smash-hit-on-Saturday-Night-Live pathetic presentation!
Forget the printed script above, watch for yourselves. WATCH IT IN ITS ENTIRETY!
Sex cartels are bad, says Katie Britt, which is why she wants you to vote for a rapist.
'Handmaid's Tale Coming to Life': Katie Britt's SOTU Response Sparks Alarm
"As someone who covers the far-right and the Christian nationalist movement, Sen. Katie Britt's speech was the closest thing to porn they'll consume," wrote one journalist.
Katie Britt ridiculed for ‘creepy’ State of the Union rebuttal
Britt: "Just ask yourself, are you better off now than you were three years ago?"
Katy! How 'bout 4 YEARS AGO as the realistic baseline … begin there and ask the question.
Enjoy everyone. I rest my case.
They're all such whiny little bitches.
Cuckoo for cocoa puffs
real housewife of confederate alabama
No, the democrats have left.
But the white nationalist conservatives are still there...
lol
The Pee Wee Herman “rebuttal” .
I'm just laughing and laughing at this . . . whatever this is . . .
She wants you to vote for Biden? his own daughter says he raped her. And as for sex cartels, Wasn't Biden part of the administration that gave minors to sex traffickers at the border? I guess they were for Joe since Ashley aged out of Joes preferred demographic.
lie
Your ignorance of the subject matter isn't my problem.
no, lying is
So are you claiming Ashley lied in her diary?
All lies.
Everyone with a grain of wit lies in their diary, there is always a need for some sensational reading in life's mostly monotomous journey.
Thanks to O.W. for that insight!
So she lied about all the details in her diary, and the FBI investigated it because it was false. There is an amazing amount of denial that has to be involved into believing that. I wonder how many times Joe showered with Hunter to cause his level of disfunction.
I don't know if anything is too hard for diehard partisans to swallow.
Exactly, she was in Florida for sex and drug addiction therapy and was just playing to type.
Nope, That's just way to easy.

You to risk something to gamble, you’ve nothing at risk. It’s speculation, not a gamble.
Never provides a source either but we know it's lies.
I risk being right and more often than not that is worse than being wrong.
Maybe it is from the same source where leftist say Trump slept with daughter. Look there first!
So true!
It’s unlikely they we will ever know for sure so your speculation is safe.
We believe the woman, unless she accuses Joe Biden, then Ashley and Tara Reade are lying.
Please provide the specifics & viable sources of your implied knowledge of subject matter. Pronouncements & “dismissive” arguments are what those without counterpoints use.
What's with the psycho smile if President Biden has destroyed the country? If this is such a nightmare for so many families
What a freakshow amongst a fucking circus freakshow clownshow whackjobs.
Exactly what I've been thinking
Did she just say that 'your word is your bond'? Did she seriously say that? Every word out of the former 'president's' mouth is a lie and she said what???????????????????????????????????????
F ormer House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been slammed for insisting that President Biden “should have said undocumented” when he referred to Laken Riley’s alleged killer as an “illegal” at his State of the Union address.
The California Democrat made the eyebrow-raising remark during an interview on CNN after the president’s fiery speech.
“Madam speaker, one of the clearly ad-libbed moments was during the section about immigration,” CNN anchor Dana Bash said before playing a clip of Biden’s remarks.
Pelosi ripped for saying Biden should have called Laken Riley’s alleged killer ‘undocumented’ — not ‘illegal’ (msn.com)
You know the rules, Joe. Those who entered illegally and went unpunished and can get benefits are to be called "undocumented."
Some folks are very reluctant to call things what they actually are.
Strange times!
Nancy should be ripped for idiotic sanctuaries and her party's reluctance to act on border security.
That is the travesty that rivals letting millions into the country.
Personally, I would love it if every single fed dollar was withheld from any sanctuaries for illegal aliens.
You're scrambling to find a valid criticism ... not a good picture. Like it or not 'Brandon' kicked ass last night. Senator Lankford saw it, why not you?
Scrambling?
Have you seen or heard Biden before?
Not only Biden, there are hordes of others in the realm of politics. Should I start with those little shits Cain and Abel?
I thought he did what he needed to do and did it pretty well. He will need to do that for 9 more months to make a difference.
Those who entered illegally and went unpunished and can get benefits are to be called "undocumented."
Most immigrants living illegally in the country are not eligible for benefits from federal programs. A valid Social Security number is needed to receive most federal benefits. Immigrants in the country illegally are not issued Social Security numbers.
They may qualify for state and local public assistance programs.
Some immigrants illegally in the country also pay taxes, and that helps cover the costs of assistance programs.
Illegal is illegal, no need to pretty it up with "undocumented".
“,,,,,,,no need to pretty it up with "undocumented"”
or “undocumented Americans”, as chris murphy calls them, or “newcomers” as the white house calls them. No, they are illegals, plain and simple.
I wonder why so many seem afraid to call things what they are.
I don’t know. I do know they can call them whatever they want but it won’t change the fact that they are here illegally. They are illegals. Even biden agrees with that.
I don’t blame illegals for coming here, if I lived in the same shit holes they did I would probably try to get here too. I blame the traitorous piece of shit Biden and the scumbag sanctuary cities for them being here.
I agree, but that doesn’t change the fact they are illegals.
What I love is when one of the progressive morons try to tell people that illegals as a percentage commit crimes at a lower rate then US citizens.
Or they deflect to “so it only matters if a migrant commits a crime? It’s ok for Americans (they usually do not capitalize “American”) to commit crimes?”
it amazes me they cannot see the simple fact that, for instance, if the illegal that killed Laken Riley was not here, she would be alive today. They are either very stupid, or very callous.
Telling an Israeli Jewish person who is the head of the country who is our closest ally in the middle east that:
What an insulting arrogant piece of shit Dementia Joe is, it was after the speech so maybe the ritalin was wearing off?
One would like to believe an educated man practically raised in a synagogue would just know better.
But it is Biden, is it fair to expect more from the frail old man?
I thought he was raised by Puerto Ricans? or was that last week?
Looks like it depends on his audience
Quite hypocritical to bitch, on the one hand that "Biden needs to get tough with Netanyahu," then, on the other, bitch because Biden uses a stong METAPHOR indicating he's doing just that!
The hypocrisy is on the left Mac. I’m not telling Biden to get tough with Netanyahu. The senile old fool is over his head trying to run the country he was elected to run, who the fuck is dumb enough to think that he is smart enough to tell anyone else how to run theirs.

Dismissive "arguments" occur when a person dismisses their opponent's argument as absurd, without actually addressing it, or without providing sufficient evidence in order to prove its absurdity.

I was amused, really, he spent most of his time seemingly nodding in agreement and clapping under the desk out of sight
of the camera on the POTUS but the left side camera caught him clapping several times.
The only time he got real contrary was about 0106 shaking his head in annoyance and disagreement.
It's almost as if he watched a different speech.
