Well, here we are, the morning after. The Democrats are sure to be in a great mood this morning with all the giddy media pumping up Joe Biden’s State of the Union last night. If your thing is being yelled at by a ‘dithering and diminished’ crank, that is.
No doubt, ole Joey was hyped up on some energy elixir. It showed with his squinty eyes, loud outbursts, and waving an enfeebled finger in the air at the Republican side of the House. He got so worked up that he started slurring words again.
But between the lies pouring out of Joe Biden’s decrepit mouth and Kamala’s incessant applause was the saving grace of Mike Johnson to help get us all through the night.

There are times when watching something play out on live television, something happens, and you just know it will be the talk of the town for a while. Nancy Pelosi rips Trump’s speech, Marco Rubio’s water break from his rebuttal (2013), or Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction.
At one point, Joe, of course, mispronounced Laken Riley’s name. In all honesty, he probably had no clue who the young nursing student who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien was. Oh sure, he held up his rehearsed button and even uttered “illegal” back at Marjorie Taylor Greene, but you know it was all for theater.

Mike Johnson’s facial expression in the background while Joe was speaking won’t be that memorable a week from now or even tomorrow. Here is Mike moments after Joe finished his divisive speech last night. He even admits he didn’t have a good poker face.
An Academy Award would have to be given to someone who could sit behind lying Joe and keep a straight face. But I’ll tell you, I was glad to see the disdain on the Speaker’s face. It made me feel like he knows the deal and has our backs.
Liberals of course are mocking and criticizing the Louisiana congressman for his subtle reactions, but let’s be real—it was nothing compared to Pelosi’s repellant shenanigans. We should actually applaud him for keeping it together through the noxious speech—I myself was extremely close to smashing my television with a hammer.
It’s got to be tough sitting behind a senile president, knowing the camera is on you the entire time, and listening to him scream at the audience and belittle and threaten the Supreme Court of the United States. If a few eye-rolls are his only pushback, then I think we should be impressed by his restraint. – Bob Hoge, Red State
Hours before Joe’s big speech, Republicans passed the Laken Riley Act, with only 37 Democrats supporting common sense, decency, and law and order.
We hope this is Joe’s last State of the Union speech before he shuffles off to the campaign trail. Now, we’re in full-tilt election season. So, even with Mike Johnson’s poor (but handsome) poker face, I’d like to keep him around for a while.

After just the first few seconds where he invokes January 6th, I would have been tempted to gavel the speech to a close right there, thank the President, but remind him he was here to deliver the state of the Union, not an angry, accusatory political stump harangue, and could he please forward the actual letter to his office in the morning. Then dismiss the entire place and go home.
So, yeah, he did a lot better than I would have done.
Carol Marks says: Carol Marks says: Haha. That would have been great too!
Kevin says: When will conservatives ever learn … You (conservatives) basically set the standard that President Biden’s speech would be a resounding success if (1) he didn’t collapse walking down the isle, and (2) Kamala only had to clean droll off his chin less than 10 times. WTF did you expect? He did a great job. I personally wasn’t sure if I was going to watch it but, ambivalently, decided to turn it on and was over-the-moon with how he did.
I wasn’t watching Joe Biden, I was watching Mike Johnson. I was shocked at the number of times he would slowly nod his head, ever so slightly, in agreement. The other nail in the coffin for republicans, did you see Senator Langford mouth the word “Truth” multiple times when Biden was giving THE FACTS about the bi partisan immigration legislation? It was so sad looking at this man who has a moral compass and integrity. The Malignant Tumor, once again, chews up and spits out any conservative who can’t get on board with hatred, retribution, and vindictiveness. That’s not a winning strategy; ask the 20% – 40% of voters who supported Haley.
When is the VG post going to come out about the republican response from Senator Katie Britt? Whoever came up with the idea to put a young woman “in the kitchen” to give the republican response is probably a Democratic operative. What a horrible decision. She spoke about going back to the 1950’s when families had dinner around the table. She basically epitomized what Joe Biden said at the end … don’t look at my age, look my ideas compared to the other team. She’s wasn’t looking forward but looking to the past to those “good ole days.” I seriously thought I was watching a Saturday Night Live skit … which I can guarantee you will be the cold open for SNL this weekend.
Everything emanates from the top … the Malignant Tumor only wants to talk about himself, the biggest victim in the world, and a “stolen” election. That’s it. He has nothing else and the people that are now lining up behind him that that as their only playbook (defend the victim and repeat the lies).
Lastly, be careful about polls. Hillary was up double digits in 2016. I stopped reading polls after that catastrophic loss. Every poll I respond to, I’m the most MAGA conservative @sshole in the world. My entire algorithm has been focused on conservative causes. Polls in this day and age are worthless hence the 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2020 elections. Remember the “Red Wave?”
Cameron says: Nobody cares about you here, bitter gay man. Stop shitting on the carpet already.
Darleen Click says: Poor old Kevin, you need your meds adjusted.
Kevin says: You’ve go to update your slights. Stop living in the past (like Biden said) and come into the 21st century.
kevin says: You care or else you wouldn’t have responded. It’s called “reverse psychology.” Big gay kiss to you. 🙂
Cameron says: Care? Hardly. You’re nothing more than a mildly amusing troll with severe delusions of relevance. Maybe you should try not being inferior. I promise that you’ll be happier.
GWB says: Put in the simplest terms: You are delusional.
Cameron says: I think we’re the closest thing he has to people that actually pay attention to him.
SFC D says: The bipartisan immigration bill you celebrate was 90% Ukraine funding in the billions, maybe 1% border related, and even that still allowed 5000 a day to come in. 5000. There was nothing truthful in Biden’s blathering. So in all sincerity, please find yourself a copy of the speech, roll it up tightly and insert it right next to your empty head. You may go now.
Kevin says: You have to stop believing the conservative spin and do your own research.
“In addition to $20.23 billion for border security, the bill included $60.06 billion to support Ukraine in its war with Russia, $14.1 billion in security assistance for Israel, $2.44 billion to U.S. Central Command and the conflict in the Red Sea, and $4.83 billion to support U.S. partners in the Indo-Pacific facing aggression from China, according to figures from Senator Patty Murray, who chairs the Senate’s Appropriation Committee.”
So, from the totals listed above, border security would get 20% and Ukraine would get 60% … and those are the facts. Just look at youtube and see Senator Langford’s sickened, defeated look. You guys screwed over another conservative with some morals.
Cameron says: Notice that he won’t explain why we need to fund the Ukraine instead of worrying about our border?
SFC D says: It allowed 5000 per day across the border. The correct number is zero. Thanks for playing, take your meds and say g’night.
Cameron says: A real bill would have the following items:
1. No illegals.
2. All illegals currently in this country are expelled. They are allowed to return to their country unimpeded as long as breaking into this country is the only crime.
3. All funding to the Ukraine is sent to shoring up our own defenses.
You could have that written on one page and be done with it.
Dane Mjolnir says: Why is no one mentioning the statement that he taught the 2nd Amendment for 12 years?
Cameron says: Did that come up in the speech?
Cameron says: Disregard. Found the remark. Keep in mind that his grip on reality has been slipping for a long time. Just chalk that up to another “Aw! That’s just Joe!” moment.
