It feels so good to be able to listen to a SoTU

[thucythucy]

and not feel the urge to cringe, scream, or throw up in my mouth. To actually feel heartened at what I'm hearing.

And to have an actual grown-up at the podium, and a powerful woman there in support.

All we need for this to be absolute perfection would be to see Speaker Pelosi seated up there as well.

1. Yeah, I have memories of Dick Cheney's scowl burned into my brain

from SOTU nights.

McCarthy turning green.

Thank you for my first valentine!

4. If a GQP POTUS is speaking I do not watch, EVER!

Life is too short and I don't need an ulcer, thanks anyway GQP.

[thucythucy]

6. I have the same inclination.

Still, it's next to impossible to ignore the waves of cringeworthy absurdity after any GQP SoTU, even if the speech itself goes unwatched.

Not this time. And the contrast between Biden and Huckabee was the best demonstration of GOP shallowness and irrelevance since Jindell's in 2009.

8. Well said!!!

7. Joe Biden is a genuinely great president. (nt)
