State Of The Union Address Tonight

Deleted pic. Found same woman acting similar in pics at 2023 and 2022 State of Union. Watches crowd, never smiles. I now figure she's security

BTW, I see Biden is holding something above. My guess is it's the "Remember her name: Lakin Riley" button he displayed later--someone slipped it to him as he was making his entrance.

At one point last night I asked Patty, "where's that 'Sleepy Joe' guy hiding?

Maybe Smoothy (zero junk) can provide a clue? C'mon Junkless, where you hiding, son? (rolls eyes)

In a remarkable moment, Biden responded to the outburst by holding up the "Say Her Name" pin Greene had handed him during his entrance — and appealing to Republicans to pass the bipartisan border security deal.

Surprised that President Biden actually took it from MTG.

"Presidents George Washington and John Adams delivered their messages to Congress in person, but President Thomas Jefferson abandoned the practice as “monarchical” and time consuming, sending written messages instead. This precedent was followed until President Woodrow Wilson personally appeared before Congress in 1913. President Franklin Roosevelt adopted Wilson’s practice of personal delivery, and it has since become a contemporary tradition."

Hah! Good political Instinct there--refusing the token would play into their narrative, instead he got a useful prop for defusing it.

Those effected by the MAGA virus will never be rehabilitated back to normal. Years from now after we are all long gone there will be statues and shrines even a religion probably to the Great Orange One in Gold of course for worship.

I'm glad Biden showed some spunk and vigor. He needs to still play it cool. Get some of the Hollywood crowd to sell him now.......

I've seen some online jabbering that Biden must have been on "something" to be alert that long. That he had to have written down what he was saying. tRump on the other hand needs no notes or teleprompters. My reply. When you're babbling a stream of nonsense and incoherent thought no prompting is necessary.

He could have responded to her exploitative single example with a littany of the victims of school shootings vs the unwillingness of the party on the payroll of the NRA, doing nothing to address that as a matter of pandering policy. Then there's Timothy McVeigh, another nut job domestic terrorist, but that doesn't support their xenophobic nativist white supremacy narrative. Too many examples of home grown terror to cite.

The true believers in the MAGA movement will never admit any fault or waver in their delusions. Not in their DNA.

The closest they will ever get will be using "what abouts" trying to say everybody does this or that.
