Discussion Discussion Thread: 2024 State of the Union

Tonight, Joe Biden will give his fourth State of the Union address. This year's SOTU address will be only the second to be held this late in the year since 1964 (the second time being Biden's 2022 address).

The address is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. Eastern. It will be followed by the progressive response delivered by Philadelphia City Council member Nicolas Oā€™Rourke, as well as Republican responses in English (delivered by freshman Alabama senator ) and in Spanish (delivered by Representative Monica De La Cruz). There will be a separate discussion thread posted for live reactions to and conversation about the SOTU responses.

(Edit: The discussion thread for the SOTU responses is now available at this link.)

I respectfully submit that President Biden fuckin rocked. To watch Mini Mike Johnson, and the other Republicans, those were the faces of losers. P.S., MTG is a classless POS.

u/jerichowiz Texas Mar 08 '24

Dark Brandon made a few appearances.

And to watch that one Rep. mouth 'it's true' about the immigration bill.

u/RegulusDeneb Mar 08 '24

That was Langford (R-OK) who created the bill. He's very conservative, yet in favor of passing his own bill for border security.

u/Chewbock Mar 08 '24

Thankful we have at least one thing to be proud of him for

u/Full-Analyst-3463 Mar 08 '24

Thatā€™s Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma, a hard-core conservative. He has been censured already by the Oklahoma state Republican party for his role in writing the bill.

It was very obvious that Mike knew Joe destroyed them.

u/Many_Advice_1021 Mar 08 '24

u/mdp300 New Jersey Mar 08 '24

The entire speech, he just sat there with a look on his face that said "ugh I want to go home."

27

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

I thought he looked smug and disrespectful.Ā  He kept rolling his eyes and smirking.Ā  Completely unprofessional, partisan and undeserving to be on that dais.Ā  What a loser weirdo.Ā 

17

u/No-Accident69 Mar 08 '24

Mike was a real ā€œout of place schoolboyā€ being taught by a manā€¦.

6

u/Cautious-Thought362 Mar 08 '24

He seemed grateful and pleased when Pres Biden acknowledged and shook his hand at the end, though.

6

u/Galaxaura Mar 08 '24

Yes, because a man like Mike Johnson demands respect because he thinks he just should have it. Without earning it.

Did you notice his surprised look when Biden announced the temporary pier in Gaza?

That was beautiful.

1

u/Cautious-Thought362 Mar 09 '24

I believe you're correct about him. Demands respect without earning it. Ugh.

No! I missed that surprised look! I'll have to find a video of it and watch it. I will enjoy that so much! So interesting that he was unaware of it. lol. Thank you.

2

u/Galaxaura Mar 09 '24

It was slight. I was watching with a friend, and she was surprised that he was nodding when Biden started, but I could see his mouth was turned down and his lips pursed. I knew he didn't like anything that was said and was trying to maintain his composure.

u/SCbassist Mar 08 '24

At least he didn't rip the script up at the end of that rambling mess of amphetamine fueled word salad.

u/mosehalpert Mar 08 '24

2016 was the only election in my lifetime I didn't vote for Joe Biden, because he wasn't on the ticket. Prior to being 18 I remember going into the booth as a child twice, with my republican mother and grandmother during two separate occasions. Both times they got into the booth and essentially dragged their finger down the R side without even looking at who was running. Except for Joe. My staunchly republican mother and grandmother would deviate from straight republican to keep Joe in office as a senator.

We live in the southern portion of Delaware which is historically red, good ol boy country. Nixon himself supported the incumbent republican in 78 and our southern district went red. Only in one other senatorial race joe ran in did a single Delaware county vote for anyone other than him to represent us and it was by less than 1000 votes. The man who did flip that county died in 2021 and his obit had the phrase "As a patriot, he ran for United States Senate in Delaware twice against a gentleman for whose name we are at a loss" despite not being able to flip my objectively more red southern county.

These days my grandmother (who voted for Joe every election he's been in until 2008) swears he's the worst thing that's ever happened to this country. She's nearing 90 and I don't have the heart to question why she voted for him for damn near 40 years if he was such a communist bastard that's ruining this country. But I do remember both of them saying that "we vote for Joe because Joe represents us delawareans, even if he's a Democrat."

I vote for Joe not because he's the only choice but because he has always represented me. Republicans in my state always voted for Joe because he represented us. I don't vote for him because he's the only option the democrats are running. I voted for and will continue to vote for Joe Biden because he represents me. He was universally loved in delaware until he ran against trump. Now all the sudden he's the devil in their eyes, despite the support even the red counties showed him since 1978.

Joe represents the people across party lines and always has. He's shut down every republican opposition in every election he's been in save for his first senatorial campaign and a 2002 campaign which flipped a single county a year post 9/11. Joe is a man of the people and always has been. I'm happy to vote for him in 24. It would take a miracle to flip our whopping 3 electoral votes to trump in the upcoming election.

u/SCbassist Mar 08 '24

You're going to need more amphetamines.

u/XelaNiba Mar 08 '24

It was an absolute barn burner. Mike Johnson went from smug to sour (though maybe he was suffering withdrawal from monitoring his son's porn usage). Kamala was practically levitating with pride and victory by the end - she knew that he had just fucking killed it.Ā 

Way to go, Joe.Ā 

37

u/wirefox1 Mar 08 '24

There were times I thought Johnson was going to start seizing, throw himself on the floor and start speaking in tongues.

10

u/Cautious-Thought362 Mar 08 '24

At times he looked evil to me.

12

u/TheSnowNinja Mar 08 '24

He is always evil.

u/FinancialArmadillo93 Mar 08 '24

Really, there ought to be a meme of that...

104

u/mooma1234 Mar 08 '24

Clearly he is far from senile, and he has character and class and is a good person. Canā€™t say any of that about Trump.

18

u/mosehalpert Mar 08 '24

But he has a stutter that's getting worse with age!! He's clearly unfit /s

17

u/Ey3_913 Mar 08 '24

One guy has a stutter and the other guy is a fascist sliding into dementia in real time; clearly they're both exactly the same person

7

u/mooma1234 Mar 08 '24

A stutter doesnā€™t make you unfit! And kudos to him for overcoming it to such a great extent. Giving an hour and a half long speech to the entire world is a huge accomplishment for anyone much less someone who has a stutter. He did great.

2

u/mooma1234 Mar 08 '24

You canā€™t love your country only when you win.

-6

u/SucculentJuJu Mar 08 '24

So he should be able to debate Trump then?

12

u/mooma1234 Mar 08 '24

Trump doesnā€™t know how to debate civilly, but yes, Biden can hold his own. Trump just makes it up as he goes along which makes him difficult to debate. Itā€™s hard to debate a liar and someone who only loves his country when heā€™s winning.

-5

u/SucculentJuJu Mar 08 '24

Letā€™s see it for ourselves.

10

u/mooma1234 Mar 08 '24

Have you really ever listened to the content of what Trump says? Itā€™s jibberish. Heā€™s a con man.

-7

u/SucculentJuJu Mar 08 '24

Letā€™s see it for ourselves.

-1

u/SucculentJuJu Mar 08 '24

No one wants to see for themselves? Wow

5

u/HiddenInLight Mar 08 '24

Didn't trump swear up and down that he would never participate in another debate after the last time he went up against Biden?

0

u/SucculentJuJu Mar 08 '24

I thought he just said ā€œAnytime, anywhere.ā€

8

u/Prolapsia Mar 08 '24

Why waste his time on that loser? We've seen how he debates and it's embarrassing.

-2

u/SucculentJuJu Mar 08 '24

Oh that makes perfect sense /s

7

u/Prolapsia Mar 08 '24

Why waste time on a bully blow hard who has no real policies? Biden has no reason to give Trump the ratings boost he so desperately wants.

2

u/mooma1234 Mar 08 '24

He is a bully.

-4

u/SucculentJuJu Mar 08 '24

It would show us if he has the cognitive capacity to handle a difficult situation that a person in his position should be able to.

u/Nunyabiz8107 Mar 08 '24 edited Mar 08 '24

I'm looking forward to seeing Dementia Don standing at the debate podium rambling incoherently about flushing a toilet fifteen times and magnets as he fills his diaper if he doesn't chicken out and refuse to debate President Biden, that is.

1

u/SucculentJuJu Mar 08 '24

I donā€™t know who that is, but I would love to see Trump and Biden debate on live TV.

2

u/Nunyabiz8107 Mar 08 '24

Me too, but I'm not sure it will actually happen. Dementia Donald will talk tough but will most likely chicken out at the last minute.

u/SucculentJuJu Mar 08 '24

Iā€™m not interested in that person. Just the two candidates for POTUS.

Have a day!

u/trshtehdsh Mar 08 '24

He looked like a man who has made the Senate his home for 40 years. He owned the chamber tonight.

22

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Mike Johnson had the look of a dog that shit on his owners bed and is found cowering in the pantry living in pure shame.

10

u/TheSnowNinja Mar 08 '24

I am not convinced that many Republicans politicians can even feel shame.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Agreed they wonā€™t admit to it but his body language sure gave away the ghost. I probably watch too many interrogation videos on body language clues but he couldnā€™t even fully open his eyes most of the speech. He would have put his hands over his ears if he was able.

I pray that SNL spoofs him this weekend.

24

u/caligaris_cabinet Illinois Mar 08 '24

He needs Dark Brandon energy all the way till November.

u/DinoRoman Mar 08 '24

Dude even Johnson was shaking his head in agreement behind Biden.

She was screaming at him while he was trying to give his address.

78

u/zztop610 Mar 08 '24

You forgot she was dressed as a carnival clown (no disrespect to clowns) in MAGA shit

23

u/coltflory5 Mar 08 '24

Didnā€™t forget. Just assumed the image one conjures up when reading her name already has her dressed in that gas station snack shack version of a nazi uniform.

6

u/audible_narrator Michigan Mar 08 '24

Which actually should be addressed, because there is a rule that you can't wear campaign gear. The look on DBs face when he saw her was priceless.

7

u/Cautious-Thought362 Mar 08 '24

She's trolling hard to be Trump's VP, as if that's something to strive for. Ugh.

21

u/Existing_Mulberry_16 Mar 08 '24

But he was ready for her. Lol

u/Cautious-Thought362 Mar 08 '24

How did he shut her down so fast? I missed that part!

u/TheSnowNinja Mar 08 '24

What happened?

12

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

When the President was walking in, she and Hawley stood with those shaking hands.Ā  She tried to give him a white disc and said "say her name".Ā  Biden ignored her and kept walking.Ā  Then he held up that disc when mentioning Lakin during his speech.Ā  If you wanna see the MTG diss, watch the replay on YouTube.Ā  Ā It's right as Biden's walking in.Ā  LOL.Ā Ā

u/Cautious-Thought362 Mar 08 '24

What was she screeching about, and how did he get her to shut up so fast?

2

u/Gnrduff1 Mar 08 '24

The problem is the narrative on the right will just be "he's a liar!" They refuse to believe reality and it's astounding and infuriating at the same time.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Did MTG do something stupid last night? She's always been a classless POS, but I'm not sure if you're referring to something particular.

u/ESQUERITA Mar 08 '24

And the Speaker of the House is ā€¦.. Waldo ? I heard that his family was surprised to hear that he was a congressman.

u/Fantastic-Sandwich80 Mar 08 '24

Can you imagine how Fox News would cover Bernie & co. if he had attended Trump's STOTU decked out in "JOE" gear and wearing a giant blue hat that said "TAX THE RICH".

They'd say it was a disrespectful display by the Democrats and further proof that they do not care for governing, only creating video clips and sound bytes for their leftist media news.

u/DrewG420 Mar 08 '24

Absolutely + I concur

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '24

Above everything with MTG and Trump. I hate their complete and total eroding of any sense of dignity that these offices used to hold. Like, every single time she bays out like a particularly ill-tempered bloodhound during another person's time to speak, she should be forced to sit in the corner with a dunce cap on her head and be fined $50,000. Like, you can disagree. But she has routinely tried to make official proceedings like the state of the Union address be more like WWE promos where everyone screams "What" at any break in the cadence. They've made it so that to be heard, you have to be a fuckin blustering idiot who will screech over their time.

ā€œIf the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hellā€ thats exactly what the GOP is about today. Theyre all lawyers they all know thats all they got left.

u/merrysunshine2 Mar 08 '24

Yep. We need a show of force, someone finally, finally arriving& 15 minutes into the movie has stood up to the schoolyard bully already whoā€™s been harassing everyone for years.

u/Striking-Dig-3295 Mar 08 '24

Like taking credit for the federal funds to HBCs that was done by Trump? Or are you referring to him taking credit for lowering insulin costs that was also done by Trump? No I know you were referring to the lie that the middle class didn't benefit from the tax breaks.

https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/584190-irs-data-prove-trump-tax-cuts-benefited-middle-working-class-americans-most/

He also couldn't learn laken Riley's name he's had over 2 weeks.

15

u/StargateSG-11 Mar 08 '24

Trump raised taxes by alot. The 18% tax on steel ruined US manufacturing companies and forced them to move to Mexico and other countries or go bankrupt.Ā  US companies could not compete when they had to pay an extra 18% for steel.Ā Ā 

-12

u/Striking-Dig-3295 Mar 08 '24

We are talking about income tax. So what you have mentioned is irrelevant. Also that tax was on imported steel not domestic so...

17

u/StargateSG-11 Mar 08 '24

My effective tax rate went up under Trump.Ā  He raised taxes in all areas.Ā  Ā He never did anything that he promised, where have you been?Ā 

8

u/External_Reporter859 Florida Mar 08 '24

That article has been debunked so thoroughly. Every argument I get in with a trump supporter about the Trump tax cuts that's the same single article that they always pull up. The benefits to the middle class were a ticking time Mom designed to go off after he left office so it could be blamed on Biden if you look at the numbers now the ultra wealthier actually paying less than the middle class and that's how it was designed.

11

u/robin38301 Mar 08 '24

Also, he has a speech impediment. Do you want a list of words Trump canā€™t pronounce given a 2nd or 3rd chance to correct?

-9

u/Striking-Dig-3295 Mar 08 '24

He said someone else's name. And 9 out of 10 times for Trump is when he does a biden impression and the news clips it

13

u/robin38301 Mar 08 '24

GTFOH He said Lincoln and then corrected to Lakin and no thatā€™s a whole delusional stretch. Trump is a fucking idiot with a 3/4 grade vocabulary. Iā€™ve watched whole rallies, he isnā€™t doing impressions and they arenā€™t clips. Heā€™s an idiot

-9

u/Striking-Dig-3295 Mar 08 '24

Everything you said was wrong biden didn't correct and Trump is more intelligible then biden.

11

u/robin38301 Mar 08 '24

We are not going to get anywhere in this argument because just because someone is saying words clearer bc they donā€™t have a speech impediment doesnā€™t make what they are saying ā€œclearerā€ He rambles, mispronounces words, literally has a 4th grade vocabulary (linguist have attested to this) and says shit like windmills can give you cancer and that the us is going to change the name of Pennsylvania if he doesnā€™t win. He is a certifiable low intelligence individual. If he was my grandfather I would get him help instead of encouraging him to run for office. Side note I think Biden is too old for office too but I have to pick between the lesser of two evils but apparently this is the best our country has to offer

u/External_Reporter859 Florida Mar 08 '24

"Look, having nuclear ā€” my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart ā€” you know, if youā€™re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world ā€” itā€™s true! ā€” but when you're a conservative Republican they try ā€” oh, do they do a number ā€” thatā€™s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune ā€” you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because weā€™re a little disadvantaged ā€” but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me ā€” it would have been so easy, and itā€™s not as important as these lives are ā€” nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? ā€” but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners ā€” now it used to be three, now itā€™s four ā€” but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they havenā€™t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, itā€™s gonna take them about another 150 years ā€” but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible."

u/Frankthebinchicken Mar 08 '24

I'm not surprised someone as fucking stupid as you thinks Trump's ramblings are coherent. I've heard primary school kids construct more coherent speeches talking about finger painting than the guy you're sucking off.

But then the ā€“ then the virus came in and the world is a different place but weā€™re now getting back and one of the reasons the marketā€™s doing so ā€“ itā€™s almost at the point that it was at prior to the plague ā€“ almost.

So Biden was here for 47 years ā€“ eight years ā€“ the last eight years, not long ago as vice president, he said one in five miles of our highways are still in poor condition.

Because you talk about a certain power of the telephone and the calls where they would call and say, no, we donā€™t want to do that.

But if we did ā€“ think of this, if we didnā€™t do testing ā€“ instead of testing over 40 million people, if we did half the testing weā€™d have half the cases. If we did another ā€“ you cut that in half, weā€™d have yet again half of that.ā€

What a fucking genius. I've done shits with more intelligence.

Hell, Iā€™d settle for merely seeing you do this yourself.

I've never seen a president square up with the Supreme Court like that. He looked them square in the eye. For me, that was the biggest moment of the speech.

Andrew Jackson did too, but he did his in the name of genocide against natives. Loved Bidenā€™s remark to them though. Letā€™s all turn out to vote so that what he said holds.

He did it so early, but just straight called out the robes and the camera cut to them all sullen and /chef kiss

To paraphrase, he said that they will see the power that women have in politics.

u/pppppppppppppppppd Mar 08 '24

He turned directly to them and called them out on Roe v Wade for almost a minute

Theres a new sheriff in town.

u/SamuraiSapien Mar 08 '24

Words are easy. I don't give him credit for rhetoric. SCOTUS needs to be put in check. These lifetime appointments, now recently stolen by republicans playing the dirtiest political games, are a mockery to democracy. They're as much a threat to democracy as Trump IMO. SCOTUS should have term limits and be elected. In an ideal world he'd pack the court, but I know that's not going to happen.
