Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech to Congress

[Mike Hunt 154]

In a recent televised interview on CBS' Face the Nation, when asked about potential reductions to Social Security and Medicare, McCarthy said, "No. Let's take those off the table." When pressed further, McCarthy added: "Yeah. I mean, if you read our commitment to America, all we talk about is strengthening Medicare and Social Security."
 

POS Biden knew this.

 

McCarthy acting much classier as opposition than Pelosi ever did in the same seat.

Biden did OK on some issues.  Total failure on border security though.  Even some Dems had to be laughing at him on that.

Now everyone knows the majority of republicans don’t want to cut SS. So the majority doesn’t want it, and the leadership doesn’t want it. Thanks for pointing that out Joe!!

Junk Fees > Secure Border 

We need people to be able to afford credit card late fees so they can go on vacations!

What do you think has higher ratings- Face the Nation or the SOTU tonight?

It has nothing to do with being a simpleton. It has everything to do with optics. For the people that didn't see Face the Nation this plays as Biden looking like someone bringing people together regardless of the reality. 

You like being misled. You think it’s a good thing. He brought together the side that was already there. Lol.

Nobody wants it. Its political suicide.  He saying "some" Republicans want it caused the biggest backlash and rightfully so. Lying POS.

The other thing that Patented Phil is not telling you, or doesn’t know, is that at the same time Kevin McCarthy was assuring everyone on Face the Nation that there wouldn’t be any cuts to Social Security or Medicare, Rick Scott was on Fox News proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare. That’s why Biden said “some of you”- he was correct. And the response was a huge win for him tonight.

What were the “cuts” he was proposing? Kind of important to know?

He put that horsefaced, caterwauling ###### MTG in her place.

[Hardcore troubadour 13,030]

“No one’s going to propose cuts to SS but I would veto it if they did”. Pretty much what he said.

The majority of the public is going to believe that Republicans want to cut Social Security and Medicare and Democrats don’t. When Republicans insist that isn’t true, Biden will look like a leader for “convincing” Republicans not to do it. He wins either way. That’s politics 101. It was absolutely brilliant. 
 

Also the “argument” that conservatives have been making for 3 years now, that Biden is too old and senile, is dead in the water. Like Reagan in 1984, Biden showed a lot of energy. His age won’t be an issue in 2024.

So he wants to cut out fraud and abuse. Tim says that’s cutting the program. He just repeats what he hears.

He began his speech calling Chuck Schumer the Minority Leader.

[Hardcore troubadour 13,030]

He kept it together pretty well. I’ll give him that. And of course it will be billed as the greatest SOU ever.  As far as speaking to his side of the aisle he did a good job. They aren’t intellectually curious, so it’s not difficult to fool them. 

[The Real timschochet 3,321]

Trump can’t beat him. Maybe DeSantis can but we’ll see.

Does anyone know who yelled “your fault!” when Biden mentioned fentanyl? That was really ugly. McCarthy looked really embarrassed.

The top moment of the SOTU Speech:

 

[The Real timschochet 3,321]

Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ response was a total disaster. Biden’s talking about infrastructure and the economy, and Sanders is talking about woke agendas and high crime. The public doesn’t like the dark agenda that Republicans are pushing.

I'm still waiting to be told how much is enough.  Just watched the speech, I've never heard a percentage quantified because there is never enough.  If they ever put a percentage on it, the math will show it's not enough that the "rich" can't be drenched with enough tax to cover our spending.
