President Biden's State of the Union Address 2022

The 2022 State of the Union Address is scheduled to be given by Joe Biden, the 46th president of the United States, on March 1, 2022, in the chamber of the United States House of Representatives. It will be addressed to the 117th United States Congress. It will be Biden's first State of the Union Address, and his second speech to a joint session of the United States Congress.

Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, and Kamala Harris, the vice president, in her capacity as the president of the Senate, are expected to preside over the joint session.

The scheduled date of the address, March 1, is approximately one month later than usual; all State of the Union addresses since 1934 have occurred in either January or early February. The cause of the delay has been attributed to the spread of the Omicron variant during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, along with the United States’ participation in the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Additionally, Clare Foran and Kevin Liptak stated in an article published by CNN that the delay "would give Biden more time to try to accomplish some of his legislative goals before addressing Congress and the nation". Although the Constitution of the United States requires the president to give Congress information about the "State of the Union", it does not specify when or how frequently this must occur, only "from time to time".

For the first time in history, two women will be sitting on-stage.

How exciting!

What r2 said.

I'm curious what the President will say about Ukraine.

I hope he sticks it to Poutine.

AND Trump.

Hate to be that guy, but how many names is he gonna bungle tonight?

Ol’ mushmouth. Hopefully they got him a large-print teleprompter so he doesn’t have to squint so hard.

He'll probably talk about how we just closed our air space to Russian aircraft!

It's breaking news...

State of the nation in two words: We’re fucked.

Abby Philip is on CNN in a pink satin bathrobe for some reason.

I'm just wondering what stupidity some repukelican is going to pull. If any of them do another one of those "YOU LIE", I hope Nancy has the Sergeant At Arms shoot the motherfucker.

No masks tonight!

R5, you DON'T hate to be that guy.

And R6, at his worst he'd still be far more sincere and erudite than your hero, trumplestilskin.

Thanks for posting the thread. I really didn't want to watch without Datalounge feedback.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some republicunt starts shit. Just take them out back and shoot them.

[quote] Abby Philip is on CNN in a pink satin bathrobe for some reason.

Lol. Maybe she'll do a "big reveal" at the end of the speech!

At least it's not Candy Crowley.

wow many congress members dressed in Ukrainian flag colors

Security needs to keep an eye on Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor-Green.

Those two cunts are probably up to no good.

Awww, some of the ladies are wearing blue and yellow.

I'm having a nice glass of Johnny Walker Black Label Scotch, and settled in to my recliner.

I'm ready, bitches!

Lots of the men are wearing blue and yellow, too.

So happy to see Rachel Maddow on-air doing the live coverage for MSNBC.

Was that Ayanna Pressley in pink, talking to Rachel?

Interesting to see all the senators and Congressmen/women enter like it was a big homecoming celebration.

R12 “Erudite”? hahahahaha

It kind of is a homecoming of sorts, R22.

The United States hasn't been the United States from 2017 to 2021.

We're finally back, and they feel it.

What they didn't make Sec Pete the designated survivor?

Yuck, this Johnny Walker Black Label Scotch tastes funny.

It's my first time trying it.

I might have to switch to bourbon.

R22

That's Symone Sanders she works for Peacock now.

Gina Raimondo might be the designated survivor.

Glo Borger seems to be freshly done around the stiff mouth.

Nancy is wearing blue.

Kamala should have worn yellow!!

Dammit.

Kamala is in a skirt! She never wears skirts. She has great legs.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is the designated survivor for Biden’s State of the Union

Well if they all die, we will have a woman President.

Brown?

Hopefully some of the ancient Republican congressmen and Joe MANSION get Covid tonight and just die, for goodness sake.

That's NOT the greatest photo of Gina...

He should open with something like "the state of the nation is challenged. The heart of the nation is strong."

I'm in the house!

R33 As bad as Joe Manchin is, the Republican Gov would replace Joe Manchin with a worse Trump loving Republican.

I think Kamala looks elegant and powerful.

Garrett Haake just reported that everyone had to be tested (regardless of vaccination status) before attending tonight's event.

So there shouldn't be any Covid outbreak, given that no one is wearing a mask.

I think it's a good policy.

r37 he's just as bad as a Republican at this point, let him die!

Where's Pete?!

Oh, Rachel said the Cabinet is just arriving.

Maddie Cawthorne sitting alone down in front on the R side, fiddling with his phone.

[quote]Maddie Cawthorne sitting alone down in front on the R side, fiddling with his phone.

Someone block the ADA ramps!

R42 He's scrolling the child whores Gaetz sent him.

Will any Republicans yell out, You Lie?

Yikes! So many empty seats on the Republican side.

It's so nice to have a First Lady who's not a FUCKING WHORE.

Pete got a haircut.

He looks good!

That idiot Greene is there too...

Pete got a grown-up haircut!

r42 The senatrix must be being very forward with his sexts today

Kavanaugh with a very red face, smiling like an idiot, has had at least 3 beers already.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are next to each other, I am shocked either of them are there.

Is La Senatrice in attendance?

How about The Turtle?

Is Chasten in the upper gallery?

R54 yes have seen them both.

[quote] Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are next to each other, I am shocked either of them are there.

I hope they were patted down for weapons.

Pete's buzz cut is a truly bad idea.

He and Jennifer Granholm always seem like best pals.

Oh, here you all are!

This will be the first SOTU without the bald gentleman (House Sergeant of Arms) we watched introduce the President for so many years. Sorry I do not recall his name.

Will any men ever be allowed to be commentators for these big events, ever again on MSNBC?

Now that Brian Williams is gone, it's an all female panel.

Ooh, there’s Brett ‘I like beer’ Kavanaugh, right next to the creepy Catholic Handmaiden.

With all these open seats it will be easier to spot anyone who doses off!

Where's Uncle Thomas?

Spotted the two mega cunts Marjorie and Lauren

Aren't they MAGA cunts?

Joe has a nice smile

The immense relief to hear “The President of the United States” and not see Dump waddling in

The nice thing about all the missing Republicans, is that there will be a lot more cheering and not very much jeering!

I wish Republicans were gone ALL the time!

Maga truck rally 🤣😂

Lots of empty seats.

Where are the Republicans r68?

Nancy has a nice 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 pin.

Those motherfucking Republicans are giving Putin exactly what he wants by not attending- an America that looks divided and not supportive of its President. Fuck every last one of those traitors.

Raimondo 2024

Some Repugs refused to be covid tested, like Marco Rubio.

For age 80+ (?) Nancy looks fabulous.

Love Jill’s blue dress.

[quote] Lots of empty seats.

Good! They can fucking go and never come back, for all I care.

[quote] Where are the Republicans

In hell, hopefully.

Fuckface Rubio. He is dependent on Cuban votes.

I see that flatulent Eric Swalwell couldn't be bothered to shave his face tonight.

Wow, that was a tear jerker, watching the Ukranian ambassador touch her heart.

Nancy will be 82 in 3 weeks!

Can someone point out or explain where the President's teleprompter is? I mean, I assume, his speech isn't memorized.

I believe there are empty seats because they're still enforcing some social distancing there and they only made a certain number of seats available - it's not that people didn't show up.

Joe: "Stand up, all those of you who can stand". Not you, hotwheelz Cawthorn.

Jill’s hair is straight out of a whitesnake video

I wish Joe had credited the US intelligence agencies since Trump wouldn't.

No, r84, the House Republicans refused to attend. They are parasites. Traitorous parasites.

I'm glad to see at least a few wearing masks.

Schumbuddy should give the Preschident schum dictions lesshuns, becausch, golly, he schure schtumbles over hisch delivery scchumtimesch! I juscht love him tho!

Jill was a hottie back in the day

I wish Kamala was wearing a more vibrant color, but it's a solemn moment.

R84

[quote]Jill’s hair is straight out of a whitesnake video

Baby, that hair is LAID

Yeah, Kamala needed purple or navy with a yellow scarf.

I like the tone on tone on Kamala.

What the hell is that woman wearing behind the Ukrainian lady ambassador? And who is she?

It is so amazing to FINALLY see a serious President back in action.

I didn't watch one SOTU address with trump.

People can finally take the President and the Presidency seriously again.

However, we and the world will view the missing Republicans as appeasing putin. Name 'em and shame 'em.

Thanks Joe 🙏🏻 protect Romania at all costs, they have the hottest cam whores on chaturbate

[quote]No, [R84], the House Republicans refused to attend. They are parasites. Traitorous parasites.

Why are those two MAGA bitches Boebert and Green there? You know they didn't get tested, and you know they brought weapons.

R93, that was the excuse they are using to not attend, but that motherfucker was one of the first to get in line for the vaccine. This is their way of disrespecting Biden. they have a convenient excuse, but we all know they get regularly tested.

I personally don't think that dull brown is doing Kamala any favors.

Joe sounds great; very strong and direct and presidential. Quite a change from the slurring, whiny, slouching orange clown.

Pound for pound? lol

I’m guessing she’s Native American, R97.

Same here, R98. I couldn't stand the sight of Trump, let alone listening to that anus-mouth clown.

Kamala looks amazing in her chocolate suit. Nancy's face work makes it looks like she's always smiling.

R101 To show that they are not really racist white supremicist gun-loving/child killing assholes.

It's so nice to again have a first lady that we have not seen pussy, tits, and ass.

Nancy looks much happier this time around.

The Republican cowards didn’t want to have to stand up and clap in support of Ukraine so they weaseled out.

Did I hear Iranian people? Oh, Joe....

And of course the GQP members will not attend and thus disrespect their President. I'm surprised as to who actually showed up.

That looked like a Ukrainian dress not native American.

R99, it's easier to name the ones who didn't appease Putin/Trump and just say the rest of the GOP is garbage.

Ack he said Iranian.

[quote] Name 'em and shame 'em.

Interestingly, whoever was in charge of the SOTU had NAME TAGS put on every seat.

There was (I believe for the first time) assigned seating, with name tags for everyone.

So when the cameras cut to the audience, you'll be able to see the names of the absentees.

“the Iranian people.” oof

Can't listen. Has he blasted the treasonous Republicunts and MAGAts for siding with Putin?

R100 = The quintessential DL reply.

Joe has more heart and sincerity than the whole Republican Party and their shitstain voters

Biden should call out Repubs for boycotting his speech. Some gesture of bipartisanship!

Does anyone have a list of missing republicans?

Has Joe had work done that makes him look so squinty? It's not just from reading the teleprompter. He had beautiful big eyes when he was young.

Kevin McCarthy mouthed "bullshit" lol

Fucking Schumer.

It's a pleasure NOT to hear that smarmy, meandering braggart ramble on with his orange anus mouth.

Gobbler McConnell appears to need a ventilator.

I told you the missing Republicans was a good thing.

The Democratic cheers are MUCH louder than the Republican jeers.

They can go fuck themselves.

[quote] Kevin McCarthy mouthed "bullshit" lol

and then I think he realized the camera was aimed right at him.

Mitch the Turtle looks like he's sitting on a big, black dildo.

R126 Oh yeah, he's going to be one helluva Speaker (sarcasm!!!).

Or wishing he was.

Pete looks HAF!

Apparently they are still limiting attendance, in a way. On CBS, they said some members were watching from the gallery. If you notice by the name tags on the seats they left a seat between each member.

R106 I assumed she was wearing traditional Ukrainian dress.

R110 But, let's admit, she does have a slightly slutty/rocker vibe side, which isn't bad just different for a woman her age.

Oh god he did say "Iranian" #2 trending topic on twatter. Don't fuck anything else up, Joe!

What is the silver ceremonial accouterment set in front of Nancy?

Yuck, that Ted Cruz is a smarmy, shifty looking motherfucker.

He's so fucking repulsive.

Kamala's thinner.

R129, from your fingers to God's screen.

Kamala looks happier this time too.

She has the best bitchface around (but what does she have against a little COLOR once in awhile?)

They showed Ted cruz and I exclaimed there’s a big asshole!

I wonder when Joe will pass out from the noxious fumes that Kamala's lady parts emit as she fans them toward him during all the ups and downs.

Pete is looking fine. He's got that quiet dignity that Obama has.

Who the fuck is booing Joe, fucking kick these bastards out our president deserves respect.

R127, I cannot stand him as my senator, let alone Maj. leader.

[quote]Mitch the Turtle looks like he's sitting on a big, black dildo.

That's "Moscow Mitch," R132, no better time than now for us to rub his fat face in that moniker. Pass it on.

Below is a list of Jill's guests. The lady in the brightly colored dress is Melissa Isaac, Gizhwaasod (“Protector of the Young”) at the Michigan Department of Education’s Indigenous Education Initiative and Founder of Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe (SCIT)’s Project AWARE Program

Pete looks the best he ever has.

R137 That'll scare that nation into better behaviors.

An inkstand, R138.

Can you imagine having Ted Cruz, Boebert, MTG, McConnell and McCarthy on your side and thinking you're the good side and Biden is the bad side?

I like that Joe doesn’t wait to milk the applause, he barrels right along.

R138

Lol Jill Biden wearing a tight blue shiny satin dress, haha.

R148, I almost typed "Moscow Mitch," or "Mitch, Moscow's Bitch."

2% of GDP in R&D

Computer chips

Buy America Act

Yay!!

I just saw Ted Cruz during the President's speech. Cruz looks disinterested, bored, and disrespectful. Awful!

The Republican side of the chamber is just the methy, white trash part of every small town in the heartland.

Does anyone have a screenshot of Pete in attendance?

Sorry, R154. Great minds and all that.

Who’s the cunty looking blonde Repug lady in yellow and blue, who keeps shaking her head at everything Joe says?

R156, would you prefer she stood there naked with her hand over her cooch like that last one?

Thanks R152 and R155; I knew someone on here would know. I never fail to learn something from you guys!

Nan's eyebrows have settled.

I feel so bad for him when he gets tangled up. He's a decent guy. It's such a shame when he gets off piste.

Where is Jon Ossoff?

[quote] Who’s the cunty looking blonde Repug lady in yellow and blue, who keeps shaking her head at everything Joe says?

I was wondering the same thing.

That lady has such a nasty face.

Just fucking nasty.

R156 Frumpapalooza

Take a shot every time he says “look” or “folks.”

R167 His brain & mouth are on two different speeds.

He needs to speak slower & more clearer.

Cute kid.

There’s those 17 Nobel Laureates again..

"more clearer"

Oh, dear.

I didn't see Vice President Harris's entrance but, from the response thereto, perhaps she wagered correctly that her glamorous gams would counter her drab attire.

Eat shit r172

Republicans not applauding “let’s cut the cost of prescription drugs” should make for some good Democratic campaign ads.

That kid is right out of Central Casting.

I disagree! Joe, talk as fast a you like, I LOVE your passion!

Awww Josh is cute.

Joe ain’t a perfect speaker, but I love his heart ❤️

That kid is adorable lol.

Perfect choice to make the face of lowering health care costs.

R179 = DJT

That Joshua Davis just beamed the biggest smile when the Pres wished him Happy Birthday, that was so cute.

I also think his speech writers need to ditch alliteration and soaring rhetoric. Let him talk plain. Suits him anyway. But yes, he needs to slow down the delivery ahair.

He's doing well, all things considered. Not perfect but no train wreck. I prefer his voice to that hideous thing we had before.

AOC!!! So gorgeous.

Joe garbles some words but the last guy wasn’t sure if Finland was part of Russia.

FOLKS! Twice!

Holy Crap, AOC is gorgeous.

R178 yet they're the ones who always scream about "big pharma"

They need to have that kid Joshua Davis visit every Senator and Congressman and ask they why they won't help him keep down the price of insulin.

God that haircut makes Pete look sexy. I want Pete in me deeply now.

[quote] I prefer his voice to that hideous thing we had before.

That’s a really, REALLY low bar.

R190 she has such great skin even in harsh lighting

I'm concerned.

It's completely fine and what I expected. But, it's so typical SOTU. But realize he has to lay out plans/goals without completely knowing if he can do it - if he'll have the political support/resources.

"Infrastructure decade." Snooze. Infrastructure is the perfect "coming attractions" thing for politicians.

He has a well known stuttering issue since childhood. Those who are criticizing him should go crawl back up your moms crevice!

Nancy constantly sucking on her dentures is getting a little distracting.

For the person asking who the Republican asshole woman in the yellow/blue is, this is a real doozy. What a fucking cunt:

"Ukrainian American Rep. Spartz takes on leading role in Republican response to Russian invasion of her home country Rep. Victoria Spartz, 43, has joined her Republican colleagues in harshly criticizing Biden for his handling of the Ukrainian crisis, including for not imposing sanctions on Russia before the invasion"

Tell us what Trump would've done for your fucking home country, you bitch.

Was that Sue Collins talking shit with Tom Cotton?

Oh, relax, R198... I was backing Joe when you fools were swooning over the great candidates Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren.

[quote] I'm concerned.

[quote] —Susan Collins

You'd better be, bitch!

Maine is going to vote your ass out, soon enough.

Still waiting for someone to post a grab (I wish) of Pete with his new haircut.

I ask for so little...

How many attendees ate an edible or took a nip before sitting through this? Some must at every SOTU.

I like blue...and yellow.

Pandemic Fraud!

R200 how convenient they have a mouthpiece for their propaganda and they'll declare no one can criticize her

Not for 6 more years, unfortunately R203

Any Jon Ossoff sightings yet??

joe reminds me of jimmy stewart.

Would somebody kindly burp Moscow Mitch.

R203 Shaky should have lost in 2020 but in the last month she started creeping ahead in the polls. She won't go away until at least 2026

Pete DOES look good.

There’s two more “look”s and another “FOLKS.” God this garbled old man makes me ill, good intentions or not.

Ha, ha, ha! Here we go with the laundry list of things that he wants to get passed!

Oh, my sides!

Here’s a shot from yesterday, R204.

Everything Joe is talking about, makes perfect sense.

And it helps people. And makes life better for everyone.

I just don't see how people oppose these things.

Did anybody's screen go black once or twice? I thought oh, God, it's the Russians.

Exactly, R208. the fucking nerve of her. I guess she prefers a party that literally carried water for Putin because they're scared of Trump who blackmailed the Ukrainian president. What a bitch.

Of course I'm on Ukraine's side in all this, but do the US and Ukraine really have any sort of deep, historic bond? I guess hating Russia is a bond.

Ah, the ol' "empty chair at the table" gag.

[quote]There’s two more “look”s and another “FOLKS.”

Take it from an old guy who's been hearing him for decades - he talked that way even when he was young.

I'M WITH JOE!

(manchin)

CNN is not showing that cunt. You bitches who keep referring to her are watching Fox

I love you R217! Thank you!!!

Where the fuck is the Sinema cunt?

R204 Frap away.

Test & treat. Wow.

She’s home flicking her bean

R204 Frap away.

Kamala looks pensive knowing the camera is on her; trying to look stoic and controlled. Pelosi don't give a fuck - she looking all around, smirking, smiling, looking vacant at times, maybe slightly buzzed.

A hottie

I'm pretty sure all the networks use the same video feed.

Kyrsten Sinema was doing her kissy-kissy act in the aisle before the speech so she's definitely there.

R228 Holy hotness! Thank you!

R232 she always does that

Awwww, poor r215.

Is tran Marj sitting next to a black gentleman?

1. Vaccinate all Americans.

2. Prepare for new variants.

3. Open the schools and workplaces.

4. Vaccinate the world.

Sinema is home listening to old Bonnie Raitt records and flicking her bean to repeats of the L Word

Damn, my friend just texted me that Datalounge just went into Primetime.

Why now, Muriel???

I got my free gubment Covid Test in the mail last week!

Sinema is there but is shopping on her phone.

[quote] CNN is not showing that cunt. You bitches who keep referring to her are watching Fox

I'm watching MSNBC R225, and they keep showing her.

Unfortunately.

R232 Pelosi is acting inappropriately giddy.

Troll maintenance, r241.

Coming to a Spring Break near you.

r241 Not to be rude to our Dear Leader, but that's fucked up.

She’s looking at kameka’s cunt pics

"State of the Union" would be a good Netflix marriage comedy series.

It's probably been used like that already. I'm not that creative.

McConnell really does look like he has one foot in the grave.

Ooooh, Joe just said "Not de-fund the police, we want to FUND the police!!!"

The Squad must be fuming!!

He's making a ton of sense.

“You think the deer are wearing Kevlar vests?”

[quote]Pelosi is acting inappropriately giddy.

It's WELL passed an 82 year old's bedtime.

Justice Mary!

Justice Breyer - so cute!!!

[quote]Ah, the ol' "empty chair at the table" gag.

A joke until it's your table that's missing a loved one, R222. Grow up.

Fund the police! Hear that, trolls?

Justice Breyer is adorable!!

NYPD needs more cops standing around looking at their phones and doing nothing.

Justice Breyer

R251, Not enough.

Toss him into some Aussie waters.

Justice Bryer is smelling major cookies.

Please, I can only hope there's a huge pile of steaming fetid shit located just outside the chamber doors and at the end of this speech they cart it inside and force Mitch McConnell and his scumbag cronies to grab a spoon and start chowing.

Defund the police .., most damaging political slogan in modern times.

What does Nancy keep saying to Kam?

Adorable in motion now:

I love this "unity agenda."

Great idea!

TRANS!

R255: Oh, dear.

Your handlers must be so proud.

Is Collins doing a Katherine Hepburn impersonation?

Is Nancy hammered?

OMG Nancy!!!

She almost fell down.

Then she started rubbing her hands together strangely.

What's wrong with her?

What was that horribly rude outburst?

What happened just now.

Did a Republican shout something??

Was that MTG yelling something inappropriate?

R273 Yes.

[quote]What does Nancy keep saying to Kam?

Probably "I'm fine! I'm fine!" when Kamalasays "Nancy, everybody can tell you're wasted when you do that."

What the fuck is Nancy doing? Kamala annoyed and trying to avoid her.

What did that fucking bitch yell?

I hope Rachel Maddow can explain that rude outburst on her after show.

[quote]OMG Nancy!!! She almost fell down. Then she started rubbing her hands together strangely. What's wrong with her?

Sundowning.

Nance is hopped up on pills very obviously.

I want to know too, R281

Nancy has the face of an upper middle class bowling alley barfly. I can smell the scent of perfume and liquor from here.

Notice Cawthorn didn't stand for the Vets. Bastard.

Something, R284. Definitely. Pills or booze.

I think Nancy might have to pee.

You know, Joe might be old, but his agendas, his ideas, his fortitude, surpass in scope and significance those of the younger last four Presidents, with the exception of Obama's Affordable Care Act.

I thought I heard THIRTEEN. For the 13 military that died?

I think she needs more Polident the way she's sucking on her teeth.

Wow - Putin's Troll Farm is really dedicated. Working for IOU's tonight!

R281: The First Lady has just convened a meeting in the girls' room; cue Euphoria!

Which cunt had the outburst? Was it Boebert or Greene?

OMG, this is HILARIOUS!

Go get who?

He did a great job!!

[quote]Notice Cawthorn didn't stand for the Vets. Bastard.

You're pulling my leg.

Fucking ROCK STAR!!!!

I love Joe.

Best President in my lifetime.

Nice ending: GO GET HIM!

[quote] Go get who?

Putin.

Jake just called it a solid performance.

“Go Get Him” is code to the CIA

I just scratched my pussy

Boebert was the bitch with the outbursts.

Clever to work in the state of the union is strong at the end. It worked.

Still hoping for an Ossoff close up!

What did she say?

Boffo finish. Go Joe!

I'm betting it was pervert wife Lauren Boobert making an ass of herself

I’m busy fighting odor and wetness!

Flat-out spectacular ending.

VERY solid SOTU overall.

What's he talking to Swalwell about?

R304: Reminder of history's most relevant White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Who yelled and what was yelled?

According to NBC’s Garret Haake Boobert had a running commentary through the speech. What a fucking PIG. I hope that we can toss this bitch in November.

The Post says Boebert chanted Build the wall.

God, Gillililililiilllibrand, sucking up next to that tragic hairstyle, Debbie Wasserman Schmaltz.

[quote]Maddie Cawthorne sitting alone down in front on the R side, fiddling with his phone.

I'm glad people are pointing this out, R42

She can't even heckle well. What an embarrassment.

One Tweeter said that MTG shouted, "Build the wall!"

She screamed out about the 13 dead soldiers from the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Of course it was incredibly horrid timing because Biden was about to talk about his own son Beau’s death.

Who's Miranda Priestly?

I hope cameras caught some of the bitch's antics and they cut up a video of it and play all through Oct-Nov. Just show those people "you want this trash representing you"?

Chuck Todd is absolutely dreadful.

Van Jones is hot.

Happy Mardi Gras!

Who is the gray haired lady attached to Joe?

R329 Justice Bryer

I love Joe. And I don't care who knows it.

who is the white haired woman following him??

Sleepy Joe whipped out the cell and snapped with one thumb. Let's see Dump try that

Van Jones is horrible.

Oh, to be Mike Pence's fly tonight. Your comments, Mother?

The Republicans have all forgotten, and never cared about anyway, the 241 Marines blown up on the sainted Reagan's watch.

Never mind the dead and maimed in our illegal attacks on and invasion of Iraq under Dubya.

Yikes! WTF is that haggard creature in the red dress? It looks "concerned."

Tito! Help!

Where did this idea come from to give the other party a chance to rebut? A partisan waste of time.

Kim Reynolds? Who this bitch?

She running for Senate. Why have a state politician give the response? Shitty.

She’s hitting all the culture war buttons.

Judging by the garlic-laced crucifix hanging from her neck, she's a "christian."

Jesus: "Hold my goblet."

This bitch is still talking? I have the sound off because I don’t listen to Rethugs.

She does go on.

^ LOL... me too. I just said to the TV "shut up, lady."

She is not running for Senate. The spry Chuck Grassley is going for one more term.

She said twice that the Dems are paying people to stay home. How do I get in on this deal?

I hate this thin lipped cunt in red. She’s like the HR manager who gleefully smiles as she lays off 1000 people.

“Iowa nice?” Bitch please.

[quote]This bitch is still talking?

People talking without speaking

I had to mute the nasty bitch

I guess this batch wants "families" to repair bridges and highways, not "government action."

And this new theme in mainstream Republicanism of public education's being the purview of any and all parents, even though no private or parochial school would allow parents to scrutinize and dictate and demand the elimination of certain topics, courses, and books.

Republicans believe in freedom, all right---the "freedom" to live under a bridge; the "freedom" to pack up and move to find a MW job; the "freedom" to catch Covid-19 from another; etc.

They can ALL, no exception, DIAGF.

Content-wise it's not a bad reply (at least for her audience) and she's delivering it well. Of course she's completely disingenuous about the cause of problems and what Republicans are doing.

Hey, "Minnesota Nice" is a thing, but "Iowa Nice?" I assume it's the same thing - act fake nice to people's face, act passively aggressively, and be a total bitch underneath.

Miss Gayle has the GOOD weave on tonight!

And it's on straight, too!

Abby Phillips, is glitter eye shadow really the right look for tonight?

“The tyranny of masks and vaccinations, the rise in crime, the lawlessness at the border.”

She could have just stopped there.

AOC is on MSNBC.

Love the hair!

Looks like MSNBC yanked Chris Hayes from the air.

He was embarrassing. He said "like," over 20 times. What is he, a 12 year old boy?

Also, he started telling a story in which he shouted, "Yo, Bro!"

Omg... I'm thinking he was drunk.

MSNBC is in a slow, extended state of collapse.

Cut to the chase, y'all.

Jim Scuitto got a hot haircut. You just know Anderson has always wanted to suck him dry.

So this Reynolds bitch from Iowa is a dirty liar.

Saying Democrats made the US weak, when it is/was Republicans, including her Fuhrer, who cozied up to Putin and are STILL cheering on Russian aggression.

Saying Democrats made Iowa crime-ridden. You're the Governor, bitch. WTF are YOU doing about it? Biden just said "fund the police." That's right!

Saying Democrats are dictating rules to the country, like forcing masks on people. Really, cunt? How about neighbor snitching on neighbor about parents "harboring" trans kids? Or book bans? Or any of the other hundreds of Republican dictates upon the American people?

This cunt is fucking DELUSIONAL.

R354, Republicans offer Americans nothing---nothing--other than hatred, fear, and the Big Lie that a vote for a Republican is a vote for social purity and safety.

Alas, this tactic often succeeds.

I believe this gash ran out of a Talbot’s to lecture us on fiscal responsibility?

[quote]What's he talking to Swalwell about?

If you look carefully, Biden reached into his pocket and handed Swalwell a twenty and told him to go get a shave.

Can someone explain where the gassy Swalwell joke originated?

How nice of Republicans to get a former grocery clerk from Iowa, to lecture the American people on politics.

This. Couldn't make out what she said, though.

And then the two hags did this...

A few more details:

"You put them in. Thirteen of them," Boebert then yelled referring to the terrorist attack at a gate outside the Kabul airport last summer that killed 13 U.S. service members.

Death in a grease fire is too good for this stupid traitorous bitch.

Of course, she's so stupid she's her own worst enemy: Unhinging her yob just before Biden mentions his veteran son who's dead of cancer.

Joe Manchin sat with the Republicans.

I watched MSBNC tonight. They didn't cut to the Republicans often, but notable were McConnell and Ted Cruz with mournful, funereal expressions, and Susan Collins, bemused, shaking her head 'no.'

I thought it was a brilliant speech. President Biden is a good man. He's smart and understands history. I feel hope for the future.

Two more with grim, humorless expressions were Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh. I don't think they clapped at anything.

Amy Coney Barrett was serving serious Aunt Lydia energy.

Ice-cold theocratic cunt with a heart of stone.

Amy Coney Barrett has a very strange vacant glare about her that seems more sinister for me when you pair it with her voice. She has a would poison you, Mrs Danvers way about her.

Matt Bradley is straight. Follows a bunch of camgirls and hooker types on his professional Instagram. I'm surprised he's so indiscreet.

Very, very disrespectful to TP and the occasion.

Annoying, big time annoying.

I did mean R387. Thanks

No. Wrong about Pelosi. She has waited a lifetime to see those Pukes squirming, knowing their Russian National Committee is now bankrupt! Fuck them all raw!

He'll keep paying you regardless.

R374, yeah Boebert's a freakin' bitch, but that clip is a great example of how foolish Nancy Pelosi looked at times. That ridiculous grin and jumping up like a ditzy cheerleader during a SERIOUS topic...just bizarre.

Everyone in the chamber was jumping up to applause Biden. So many trolls on this thread. I thought both women - women with power - looked strong as hell. Must make misogynistic gay men nervous.

[r398] or trolls

are people aware that the republican party is pro putin? How can we vote for these people? Vote them out of office. Mid-terms coming.

Oh, Trump conditioned his cult for this, remember? He expressed it in rallies as "It's a good thing to get along with Russia." Implying that such detente would make for a peaceful world.

Except psychopaths hate peacefulness and seek to create chaos.

I was concerned because he looked exhausted on Friday. But a rest back home seemed to recharge his batteries and he performed grandly. I was very proud to have voted for this man.

Republicans under Mitch are pulling back from Putin. Democrats under Biden pulling back from Defund the Police. Same energy. A race for the middle is a good thing.

CPAC, a republican party convention, just happened and the republicans were very pro-putin in their public speeches there. Putin was on the border of Ukraine ready to invade then, and the Biden already released the US Congress on Putin's plan for a brutal war against the Ukrainian people.

The Republic Party need to be voted out of office. Mid Term elections are coming. Vote republicans out.

Omg.

Kavanaugh's probably pissed he has to be at this damn thing rather than being home knocking back highballs.

I'm so over stunt queens Lauren & Margie. I'm actually surprised they kept it yelling like they were at the race track. I expected something more flamboyant like ripping open their shirts only to have TRUMP painted across their tits. Oh well, I guess Jim Jordan will have to do that!

It seems like the State of Union has turned into an event for congress to Make It All About Me with some stupid stunt, weird behavior, odd body language, etc. I think back to Nancy tearing up Trump's speech & while I cheered it at the time, I think it set the stage for the antics we're seeing now

Vote republicans out.

Once the sanctions have started to paralyze Russia & Putin is backed into a corner, I hope he starts naming names of the all the American leaders on his payroll. He gets to tell the world he's the puppet master & the US government are his puppets & we finally see in stark terms why these people are so pro-Putin

Art. II, Sec 3: He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses,

I question why the USSC Justices are there no matter who is the POTUS and what is their political party. political party.

I can see an exception for a retiring Justice like Breyer being there last night because Biden wanted to publicly thank him for his service.

It's now a political event and their self-imposed prohibition on clapping, depending on whatever topic the President is discussing, and which, potentially, may create litigation that comes before the Court is meaningless.

Biden was saying this when he was running for president.

I cant conceive why the Dems are so afraid of confronting the fact that Putin has been funding the Pukes. The question is WHY on earth? The Dems have been unmasked that they are NOT ignorant of this fact, but have tip toed around what should have been a nuclear attack on the pro-Putin Pukes. The quintessential question is WHY? Why are they tap dancing around and going ‘shhhh!’ around the entire prospect of confronting Dump and the traitorous Pukes and their Russian National Committee (RNC)?

Nancy Pelosi ripped up the speech after the address was over. She didn’t disrupt the SOTU.

It’s the difference between having a tantrum and throwing shade.

I was trying to find the source of Kim Reynolds massive 300M personal wealth and couldn’t find anything- does anyone have any insight as to how she’s become so wealthy?

I'm kind of surprised Clarence Thomas doesn't show up just to taunt the dems: "yes, my fat hag of a wife is up to her tits with the 1/6 conspiracy and regularly has phone sex with Steve Bannon, and I don't even bother pretending to be anything other than a repig shill, but I am sitting on the highest court in land & there's nothing you can do about it!"

Just 41% of Viewers Had ‘Very Positive’ Reaction to Biden’s SOTU Speech, Says CNN – Lowest Since George W. Bush in 2007

The poll, which CNN’s David Chalian said consisted of about 11 points more Democratic among respondents, also showed 29% of viewers reacting to the speech in a “somewhat positive” fashion, and 29% in a “negative” fashion.

Last year, viewers responded that Biden’s address in front of a joint session of Congress was 51% “very positive,” thus representing a 10 percentage point drop in that category.

The verified Twitter account for The Daily Show on Comedy Central tweeted and deleted a post poking fun at President Joe Biden’s stamina.

I do not understand why such disrespectful behavior is allowed. Why?

AOC blasts Biden for leaving out key issues from State of the Union: 'A lost opportunity'

“The piece on immigration was really just glossed over and we have over 10 — you know, anywhere between 10 to 13 million immigrants in this country that feel desperate for a path to citizenship,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said on MSNBC.

“We heard, you know, some speaking to Dreamers but Dreamers want their families to be able to stay. They don’t want to be separated from their parents either,” she continued.

“So I think there’s some themes that left a little bit to be desired for key constituencies in the Democratic base, but the president’s goal was very clear on really projecting a theme of unity and I think he stuck to that.”

The 32-year-old democratic socialist from New York City proceeded to fault Biden for releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine while giving short shrift to renewable energy.

Fellow “Squad” members gave mixed reviews to certain Biden lines. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), for example, was conspicuously seated when nearly all other members of Congress gave Biden a standing ovation for denouncing calls to defund the police.

By contrast, Tlaib’s more formal response to Biden, on behalf of the leftist Working Families Party, was largely decontextualized from the president’s remarks after she received criticism from fellow Democrats.

In glimmers of criticism, Tlaib called on Biden to cancel federal student loan debt, which he says he lacks the power to do, and ban federal permits for new fossil fuel drilling, which Biden is fighting in court to do. She also called on the president to break up “pharmaceutical monopolies” to reduce drug costs.

Tlaib’s response received little play on cable news channels because it coincided with the live broadcast of the Republican rebuttal presented by Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds.

It's funny 'cuz it's true:

[quote]AOC blasts Biden for leaving out key issues from State of the Union: 'A lost opportunity'

Does this wretched cunt actually do anything other than "blast" Democrats all fucking day long??

She didn't *blast* him, r427.

The Dem' Squad and the GQP's Goon Squad, led by Beebart & Groane (play on words). These two groups deserve each other.

AOC and "The Squad" are the Democratic version of Boebert and Taylor-Greene.

You can't take any of them seriously, because they're just too far to the extremes on both sides.

The majority of Americans are middle of the road.

That's what these people don't understand, and that's why no one listens to them.

[quote]AOC and "The Squad" are the Democratic version of Boebert and Taylor-Greene.

Hardly.

AOC is not extreme, she's just left. And there are almost NO left leaning Democrats. They're all in the middle/right leaning The Republicans have pushed that AOC lie forever.

Don't forget ME! I'm a Democrat!

*wink*

I'd still like to understand some of Pelosi's - squirms? - last night. She was oddly animated.

So apparently, this photo is the new State of the Union meme.

From the NY Post.

And another one...

It was exciting to have a State of the Union with a President who actually supports The United States of America. Biden has done a lot of good in one year, despite the Covid horror (almost 1 million dead) and that, you know WAR. And the fucking Republicans who block him at every turn. Maybe she was happy.

Exactly, r437. *That's* all they got???

Nancy's reactions were definitely strange, and out of place (given what The President was talking about at those particular moments), but here's my take on it.

Nancy had the entire copy of Biden's speech in front of her, and she was actually reading along with it as he was speaking.

So basically, she knew what topic was coming up next.

To me, it looked like she was anticipating what he was going to say (because she had just read it), and she became prematurely excited.

That's why her reactions were so off. She was actually looking forward to what was coming next, even though Joe was speaking about something else.

My advice? Don't read ahead. Just listen to the speech, and react accordingly.

I wish just one person had turned to those two bags and said loud enough for the media to hear, " Oh grow the hell up. "

R440- Hags, not bags.

[quote]To me, it looked like she was anticipating what he was going to say (because she had just read it), and she became prematurely excited.

OK, she's a three hundred year old mutlimillionairess who's spent a hundred years in front of the cameras. Snark aside, she knows how to behave. That was fucking weird.

Nancy was just tickled that she finally got to preside over a SOTU with a Democratic President, after Biden’s downbeat post 1/6 speech last year, and 4 years of Dump rants.

[quote]That was fucking weird

If you say so, r442.

I think anybody who isn't a hopeless Democrat version of a Trumptard partisan would think so, but old women rising in public to wring their hands for no apparent reason usually seems unusual to me, R442. You do you then.

[quote]I think anybody who isn't a hopeless Democrat version of a Trumptard partisan

???

Break it into little parts, R446, you'll get there. If it helps, put your big finger under every word.

I think anybody who isn't a hopeless Democrat version of a Trumptard partisan.

Bless your heart for trying.

Bless your heart for failing.

The reactions were the pills I tell you. Nancy took her little helpers.

At one point Nancy stood up and started rubbing her knuckles together. Does anyone know what that was about?

Who was that mean looking blonde women sitting near Kevin McCarthy?

She's almost 100 years old. That's how old people get when they're out past 7pm. And she probably needed her diaper changed too.

Squee!

Lordy, the trolls. They're going to be swarming until midterms.

Who cares, r451?

R456 Seriously. I loved Biden's SOTU, but you've got to admit Nancy 's knuckle rubbing was a bit strange.

I honestly wasn't paying attention, r457.

Biden is just..sad.

Biden has been around and knows how to work. Republicans know how to troll. And lie. And take away rights. Ban books. And spread plagues.

R456, because she LOOKED RIDICULOUS. She was mocked ruthlessly on Twitter, etc..

At 7 seconds in, Biden mentions 'breathing TOXIC smoke from burn pits' -- a serious, deadly topic, and Pelosi jumps up GRINNING and rubbing her knuckles.

Anyone who thinks that's fine or normal is in complete denial.

^You're overreacting Ms. Crawford.

That's insane. It just isn't explicable.

Who is the African American man sitting next to Boebert?

Maybe she had a couple drinks. Who cares. At least she isn’t attacking innocent civilians or locking up toddlers at the border.

R464 I'm pretty sure he was security placed there to handle any stunts Marj and Bobo might pull.

Similar to having a detention monitor for students who misbehave in class.

She embarrassed herself.

Give the lady a break — it’s her last SOTU.

Republicans need security to watch them. They are anti-American lunatics and are a danger to the security of our country.

She's pissed off at all the backlash she getting on Twitter and feels the need to lash out at someone. Pete doesn't deserve this.

Why do all these senior citizens (Biden, Grassley, McConnell, Pelosi, Hoyer, Trump, Feinstein) feel the need to stay in power? If you were in or near your 80s, wouldn't you want to relax? Why would you want to be a laughingstock?

Women of this type are often jealous of successful gay men whose lives are better than their own, especially someone like Pete, who is well-respected and smart.

I noticed the same cattiness coming from Tulsi Gabbard during the Democratic debates.

Old people vote for old people.

Nancy? I thank she orange the Charleston!

Pete for Prez!

R486 you tried to start an entire thread over this lie. Numerous outlets reported favorable reactions to the SOTU.

Actually, the numbers in the link at R489 are the same numbers as the link at R486.

The SoTU was a pretty good speech. It was good to see the president give it and good to see the Republicans bomb in the response.

All in all, a very satisfactory evening.

Biden draws the worst viewing figures for a President's first State of the Union in 30 years: Just 38 million Americans tuned in compared with 45.5M for Trump and 48M for Obama, George W. Bush's 51.7 million and Bill Clinton 45.8 million.

Clinton was scandalous or controversial. Bush was loathed or your war time president. Obama was history or hated. Trump was a disaster waiting to happen. Biden has a burned out country divided almost in half. Context is a measure too.

the truth is this speech from any president does not really do anything. When people do not watch it, they are comfortable with the president. Republican just react on right wing sites, but they do not watch it. They also do not READ public policy. I am so sick of these people.

R490, the first article was written in a way that makes you think the speech wasn’t well received. It was. That’s the lie. They use the same numbers but come up with a wrong conclusion that’s a lie.

I know this is heresy on DL, but I think Trump gave good SOTU speeches. It was the only time he controlled himself, and could be funny and charming. Nothing like the time bomb he projected everywhere else.

Yes, I liked the way Trump brought up his Russian real estate money laundering, his 25+ rape accusations, and his child fucking with Epstein. He's great!

Especially, when he broke out into a trash commercial selling trump steaks or bottle water.

or horse medication (for his supporters to buy and use).

Joe Biden stated: Go get him (putin) rallying the world against Putin and increasing support to the Ukrainian People.

Trump stated: Drink bleach and stick a light bulb up (your ass).

Exactly who is Trump working for? The United States?

[quote] [R490], the first article was written in a way that makes you think the speech wasn’t well received. It was. That’s the lie. They use the same numbers but come up with a wrong conclusion that’s a lie.

Even the second article, the "positive" one you're praising at R489, contains this sentence:

[quote] Biden's 41% on that metric matches the previous low in CNN's speech reaction polls dating back to 1998.

Both articles say that Biden's 41% "very positive" rating was the lowest in more than two decades. Personally, I thought it was a great speech, and it's true that overall, most people had a positive reaction. But the numbers are the numbers.

R505, it would be less revolting than anything that came out of his anus mouth.

Didn't see it Tuesday night but watched a replay on CSPAN last night. This guy is the best president in my Boomer adulthood.

It was amazing, though, how old a lot of the people looked in the broadcast (not talking about Joe). Did the broad COVID experience really do a number on people aging? (Maybe my perception is because I watched only one of the previous asshole's SOTUs--the first one).

It also made me wonder where we will get our next and subsequent generations of Democratic leaders. Have younger people lost an interest in running for office?
