Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech to Congress

Recommended Posts

Who's the canary in the audience?  Her dress seems kinda inappropriate for the occasion :unsure:

That Medicare and Social Security moment- whether intentional or waddled into- was a pretty savvy play by Biden to walk the Democrats and GOP into agreeing on those issues.

So, going with the fair share thing again. Over and over. Never heard that before. Just have never seen it happen.

I liked that. The Republicans were literally shouting when the idea of cutting either was suggested…

Usually any tax bills that target the wealthy get amended by lobbyists at the last minute.

There’s the divisive POS we all know and love.  He did a nice job keeping it under wraps for the first 20 minutes.

How is not cutting Social Security and Medicare divisive? That was pretty brilliant by Joe. Wow he just owned the Republicans.

Did he really just say that a cashier at Burger King couldn’t go across the street and get a job at McDonalds because of noncompete clauses? 😆

 No he didn’t. If you watched outside your bubble, McCarthy and other Republicans have said way before tonight that they wouldn’t be cut. Even Biden said not the majority. You miss that part? But guess what? Now he can’t use it as a boogeyman. He crystallized the republican position for everyone to see. Thanks Joe!

Republicans fell into a trap there. He set them up for giving a negative response about supporting workers’ rights.

He’s held it together pretty well tonight. He needs to wrap it up.

Always thought it'd be a lot better if they had a laugh track. I mean look what it does for really crappy TV shows.

The crazy people yelling during the speech just make themselves look bad. Even Kevin was giving them dirty looks.

There already was agreement.  McCarthy couldn’t have been more clear that social security cuts were off the table.

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.

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.
