This is the speech Joe Biden was born to give

[Stinky The Clown]

I am alternatingly weepy and angry and cheering.

I have no words.

Just WOW!

[XanaDUer2]

1. I hear screaming in the background nt

[FalloutShelter]

3. Heckler with a bullhorn?

[budkin]

29. Yes, alternating between

"Let's Go Brandon" and "Fuck Joe Biden."

Glad they got called out by Joe.

[DemocraticPatriot]

39. I heard it, but could not understand anything

that they were stridently shouting...

All it did was remind me of Pink Floyd and 'the worms'....



"Let's Go Brandon" indeed...

"Let's Go Brandon 2024!"

[Deep State Witch]

43. Dark Brandon

Certainly made hay with him and his lack of good manners!

Hru feeling?

[XanaDUer2]

I really don't need anything else bad happening. I enjoy my chocolate, too much. Lost ten lbs.

MrX in bed taking Pavloxid. Hes having GI effects.

[SheltieLover]

23. I love chocolate, too, but covod FEEDS on fat & chocolate is loaded with it!

Congrats on losing 10 lbs!

[XanaDUer2]

Well, I'm cutting back. Still hope I don't lose taste

[littlemissmartypants]

40. Actually my friend found a free over the air channel covering it, Newsy.

New to me and I don't do networks or cable. But I was trying to put together a post with some resources. Unfortunately the info came too late. I need to start my search earlier next time.

[Abigail_Adams]

42. That's awful

A presidential speech used to, and should be, carried by all the broadcast networks. WTH??

[calimary]

47. Welcome to DU, Abigail_Adams!

And they still should.

[yellowdogintexas]

59. on You Tube via lots of channels!

I do not have cable but I do have wireless. That is all you need!

Missed it live, no worries though because You Tube took care of it for me.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

10. Chills!

[StarryNite]

16. Powerful speech!

[littlemissmartypants]

17. Is it okay to cry?

[SheltieLover]

25. Yes, Ma'am!

[Johnny2X2X]

18. Historic

This is one of the most important speeches in our nation’s history. I hope it gets played over and over. I hope it ends up in text books everyone reads.

[usonian]

19. Love it.

[gademocrat7]

21. K&R!

[Ohio Joe]

22. Pretty amazing

[peggysue2]

24. This was the moment Joe Biden was meant to lead

It's why I supported his candidacy and vote enthusiastically for his rise to POTUS. I believed not only would he win but that he could lead us out of the darkness that Trump and his minions tried so hard to impose on the Nation.

It's been an uphill battle but President Biden has pushed and pushed and pushed and never stopped believing in our better angels. His is a voice for the future, not the varnished over past, the rewritten histories the GOP is so eager to impose on the public mind. It's a voice of optimism and hope but also a voice willing to call out the anti-democratic forces, the Trumpster's Magat strain that threatens our very foundations.

It was direct. It was passionate and true. It was pure Joe Biden.

Bravo, Mr. President. Bravo!

[SheltieLover]

30. +1,000,000!!!

[calimary]

48. I love that, peggysue2!

"It's been an uphill battle but President Biden has pushed and pushed and pushed and never stopped believing in our better angels."

And I'm never going to stop believing in him. He IS one of our better angels.

[peggysue2]

51. Yes, the belief and passion need to go both ways

President Biden cannot do the heavy lifting by himself. He needs us and we need him to break through the the Magat grip on the country and to preserve our open society, our ideals (still a work-in-progress) and our future. For ourselves, our children, our grand babies.

We can do this! Together.

[Sogo]

52. Yes!

Well said....

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Truth needs to face-slap America. Long overdue.

[kwolf68]

34. Did he say...

Good manners is something they've never suffered from?

There is no way I heard that. LMMFAO.

[electric_blue68]

54. That's what I thought I heard

[sop]

35. I support Joe Biden more today than I did in 2020.

[jcgoldie]

38. Hey Kevin McCarthy...

Here's your fucking apology!

[wnylib]

41. Speech of a lifetime!!!

I had the volume up so I think that everyone on my floor in my apartment building heard it with me.

I sat watching and listening alone, but clapped with the live audience several times.

Dark Brandon rose to the sky tonight.

This was Churchill saying "We will fight them on the beaches." It was FDR saying, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." It was JFK saying, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." It was Barack Obama saying, "There is not a liberal America and a conservative America; there is the United States of America." It was Benjamin Franklin saying, "We have a republic, if you can keep it."

Joe Biden's speech tonight, his Save Democracy speech, is in the same category of greatness as many of his predecessors who embraced democracy and opposed its enemies.

Thank you, Mr. President, for a speech that will go down in history.

Now, it is up to us to not let him or the country down. Vote out the MAGAs and get everyone you know to do the same.

[Turbineguy]

45. It was a fine speech.

That's fine with a long "i"

[LetMyPeopleVote]

46. I got to meet Joe in person twice in the fall of 2019

This is the Joe who I saw close up. He was talking about Charlotteville and the soul of the nation in these fundraisers

[electric_blue68]

55. That's good to know. It was So hideious!

[Joinfortmill]

49. Thank God we have Joe.

[FakeNoose]

50. It was a speech for the ages, and it brought tears to my eyes

I wish he'd given THIS speech for his Inaugural address. Would that have been awesome?

[Texin]

56. It is the best damned speech of his life. And one of the best ever given by a POTUS.

It will go down in the annals of history as one of the greatest speeches given IMO. And somebody needed to give it and now.

[gulliver]

57. Historic and great

[wildman76]

58. It's one of the best speeches I have ever heard

[bagimin]

60. k& highly recommended
